Results showed that atmospheric molecules contributed most toward the polarization of the ultraviolet radiation reaching the ocean color satellite sensors. Compared with the condition that solely accounts for atmospheric molecules, aerosols, air-sea surface, and water body could also weaken the total degree of polarization (DOP) of ultraviolet radiation reaching the ultraviolet satellite sensors. The total DOP of 355-nm and 385-nm radiation varied in the range of 0%-70% with different TOA viewing zeniths. Compared with the visible band of 412 nm that is usually set by ocean color satellite sensors, the TOA DOP of ultraviolet radiation reaching the satellite sensors exhibited insignificant differences under the same condition..

The quantitative analysis of specific absorption coefficients of phytoplankton populations makes up for the deficiency of specific absorption spectra of phytoplankton populationPhytoplankton specific absorption coefficient is an important optical parameter associated with phytoplankton biomass and absorption spectrum. The quantitative analysis of specific absorption coefficients of phytoplankton populations makes up for the deficiency of specific absorption spectra of phytoplankton populations in Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, and provides a new idea for monitoring the phytoplankton population concentration. Combined with the phytoplankton absorption coefficient and pigment concentration data collected during the cruise in Yellow sea and Bohai Sea in June, 2016, CHEMTAX software is used to analyze the concentrations of eight dominant alga species in Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. The multiple linear regression analysis of the absorption coefficient and concentration data of algal species is carried out by using the LOO-CV method, the specific absorption spectra of each algae are extracted, and the total absorption spectra are reconstructed. The results show that the model inversion is effective, and the reconstructed absorption spectrum is consistent with the measured spectra in blue and red wavebands. In addition, when analyzing the contribution of dominant alga species to phytoplankton absorption coefficient, it is found that among all dominant alga species, the dinoflagellate gives the greatest contribution to phytoplankton absorption, followed by cyanobacteria..

A method for selecting a double-band oblique incident MLDOE substrate material is proposed; this method selects the best base material combination of the dual-band MLDOE. The proposed method and the mathematical model solve the problem in which the improper selection of the substrate material leads to a decrease in the diffraction efficiency and bandwidth integral diffraction efficiency of the MLDOE when light is obliquely incident. In addition, the method provides theoretical guidance for the application of MLDOE in multi-band and wide-band systems. According to the method, an MLDOE suitable for a medium wave infrared (MWIR) of 3.7-4.8 μm and a long wave infrared (LWIR) of 7.7-9.5 μm is designed, and a 10× hybrid zoom lens is designed using the diffraction element for the dual-band. The results show that the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the system at the Nyquist frequency of the MWIR is greater than 0.52 and the MTF at the Nyquist frequency of the LWIR is greater than 0.35..

The sensitivity of the FPI strain sensor is greatly improved by the vernier effect, which is caused by the superposition of the FPI and calibrated FSI spectra. The results of theoretical calculation show that, the sensitivity of the composite structure sensor can be regulated by the free spectral range difference between two sets of interference spectra. Further, the experiment results show that, the sensitivity of the composite structure sensor is increased 19.7 times compared with that of a single FPI strain sensor, reaching 65.1 pm·με-1. The composite structure sensor plays an important role in scenarios requiring high sensitivity measurement and accurate measurement..

Automatic Segmentation Algorithm for Multimodal Magnetic Resonance-Based Brain Tumor Images
Cheng'en He, Huijun Xu, Zhong Wang, and Liping Ma
Automatic segmentation of brain tumor images is difficult to achieve owing to the diversity in tumor shapes and severe imbalance in the segmentation categories. Conventional convolutional neural network can hardly predict high precision segmentation images. To solve the abovementioned problems, an improved model based Automatic segmentation of brain tumor images is difficult to achieve owing to the diversity in tumor shapes and severe imbalance in the segmentation categories. Conventional convolutional neural network can hardly predict high precision segmentation images. To solve the abovementioned problems, an improved model based on the original three-dimensional (3D)-Unet was proposed, which replaced the conventional convolution module with a hybrid dilated convolution module to exponentially increase the receptive field of neurons, reducing the network depth and avoiding scenarios wherein small targets could not be recovered during up-sampling. Furthermore, the hybrid loss function was used to replace the original Dice loss function to increase the penalty faced by the model when classification errors of sparse classes occurred, forcing the model to learn the features of these classes better. Experiment results showed that the hybrid dilated convolution module and the hybrid loss function could respectively improve the prediction accuracy of the whole tumor region and the core tumor region. Multiple performance parameters of brain tumor automatic segmentation were improved using this 3D-HDC-Unet model..

Existing algorithms have insufficient ability to segment blood vessels into small blood vessels and lesions. In this paper, a retinal vessel segmentation method based on an improved holistically nested edge detection (HED) network is proposed to solve the segmentation problem. In the proposed method, firstly a residual deformable convolution block is used instead of the ordinary convolution block to enhance the ability of the model to capture the shape and size of the blood vessel; Subsequently, the original pooling layer is replaced by a dilated convolution layer to preserve the spatial locations of blood vessels; finally, an HED network framework with a short connection structure at the bottom is used for feature extraction and fusion of pre-trained networks, in which the model can better fuse the high-level structural information of the blood vessels and low-level details of the blood vessels in the retinal image extracted by the backbone network. By verifying the digital retinal images for vessel extraction (DRIVE) and the structured analysis of the retina (STARE) datasets, the sensitivities are 81.75% and 80.68%, the specificities are 97.67% and 98.38%, the accuracies are 95.44% and 96.56%, and the area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating (ROC) are 98.33% and 98.12%, respectively. The proposed method achieves comprehensive segmentation performance, which is superior to that of other advanced methods..

The local code of the coding target can be used to determine the position of the imaging portion on the target and the overall state of the target. The target can be used for pose measurement and can improve the measurement range and measurement accuracy. To solve the decoding and matching problem of the coding target, a decoding algorithm based on target image backprojection correction and correlation matching is proposed. In this algorithm, the target image is reconstructed in three-dimensional space by perspective transformation. Subsequently, it is rotated and corrected in the three-dimensional space, and then projected back onto the original image surface. Improving the correlation matching algorithm, only the marker points on the coding target are considered, greatly improving the matching efficiency. The proposed decoding and matching method demonstrate good matching effect and high matching efficiency in experiments. The image backprojection correction method can also be applied in photogrammetry for coding target decoding and matching. This method is not limited by encoding rules and can effectively improve the decoding accuracy rate..

Effect of Laser Remelting on Properties of Mg-Zn-Y-Zr Alloy at Different Powers
Yueyang Liu, Shiyou Gao, Yingcai Zhou, Di Liu, and Yanan Wei
Because of the poor wear resistance and low hardness of magnesium alloys, the modification of their surface using laser remelting technology is particularly beneficial, especially, the influence of the laser power factor is important. To investigate the influence of the power factor in laser remelting on the microstrucBecause of the poor wear resistance and low hardness of magnesium alloys, the modification of their surface using laser remelting technology is particularly beneficial, especially, the influence of the laser power factor is important. To investigate the influence of the power factor in laser remelting on the microstructure, hardness, and friction and wear properties of rare-earth magnesium alloys, the laser remelting experiments with Mg-1.85Y-7.91Zn-0.75Zr (mass fraction,%) alloy were conducted under different laser powers using a 3 kW DILAS semiconductor laser. The structure, morphology, phase composition, and distribution of the samples were observed by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Microhardness tests were conducted to measure the Vickers hardness and elucidate the effects of different laser powers on the structure and mechanical properties of the alloy. The results show that the macrostructure of the alloy after the remelting process becomes finer and with increasing laser power, the grain increases and the second phase becomes more dispersed. Hardness and wear resistance are enhanced because of fine-grained strengthening, solid solution strengthening, and dispersion strengthening. Among the changes, under laser powers of 800, 1000, 1200, and 2000 W, the average Vickers hardness values of the remelted fine crystal region are 90.97, 93.47, 94.20, and 95.53, respectively, whereas the average Vickers hardness value of the coarse crystal base material is only 63.90. When the alloy is laser-remelted under a power of 2000 W, it exhibits a hardness 49.50% greater than that of the base material. As the power is increased, the wear resistance is enhanced and the wear gradually transitions from adhesive to abrasive wear. The laser remelting technology substantially strengthens the rare-earth magnesium alloy, and increasing the laser power can dramatically increase the hardness, antifriction, and antiwear properties of the alloy..

However, due to the problems of low signal-to-noise ratio, background noise interference and low accuracy, the non-invasive blood glucose detection method is still in the experimental stage and cannot be applied in clinical practice. To solve these problems, a non-invasive blood glucose detection method based on visible image is proposed. By using the collected scattering images and the gradient boosting decision tree algorithm, the regression model of the relationship between the characteristic parameters of the scattering images and the blood glucose concentration is established, and the accuracy of the model is verified by the phantom experiment. Experimental results show that the relationship between visible scattering images and glucose concentration can be modeled by the gradient boosting regression model, with a consistency determination coefficient up to 0.929 and an average absolute error of glucose detection accuracy of 0.156 g·L -1..

Wen Yang, Mingquan Zhou, Xiangkui Zhang, Guohua Geng, Xiaoning Liu, and Yangyang Liu
Skull registration is one of the important steps in the process of craniofacial restoration. The accuracy of skull registration directly affects the outcome of craniofacial restoration. In order to improve the registration accuracy and convergence speed of skull point cloud model, a registration algorithm based on the Skull registration is one of the important steps in the process of craniofacial restoration. The accuracy of skull registration directly affects the outcome of craniofacial restoration. In order to improve the registration accuracy and convergence speed of skull point cloud model, a registration algorithm based on the hierarchical optimization strategy is proposed. The registration process is divided into two processes, coarse registration and fine registration. The different optimization strategies are used for optimization. Firstly, the geometric features are extracted based on the neighborhood of points, and then the eigenvectors consisting of mean curvature, Gauss curvature, normal vector angle, and principal curvature are obtained. Further, the feature similarity is calculated by distance function to establish matching point pairs, and k-means algorithm is used to eliminate the mismatching point pairs. Then the quaternion method is used to calculate the rigid body transformation relationship between the skull point clouds to achieve skull coarse registration. Finally, the improved iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is improved by the introducing k-d tree and geometric feature constraints. The improved ICP algorithm is used to achieve accurate skull registration. The experimental results show that it is effective to use the k-means algorithm to eliminate the mismatched point pair optimization strategy. It is also effective to add the k-d tree and geometric feature constraint optimization strategy to the fine registration process. Compared with ICP algorithm, the matching rate and registration accuracy of this algorithm are improved by 17% and 51%, respectively, and the time-consuming is reduced by 31%. Compared with other classical registration algorithms and improved ICP algorithm, the efficiency of the proposed algorithm is the best. In order to verify the universality of the algorithm, the terra cotta warriors fragment data is also used to verify, and the proposed algorithm achieves good results and optimal performance. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is an effective point cloud registration method..

The finite-difference time-domain method was used to search for a moth-eye nanostructure that exhibited a significantly reduced reflectivity in the wavelength range from 1250 to 1650 nm. Further, a multiobjective optimization algorithm was developed for optimizing the wideband reflectance at an oblique incidence from 0° to 30°; this optimization was implemented for a parameter space in which the geometrical arrangement, radius, height, and period of the nanopillars could be included. Subsequently, at a wavelength of 1550 nm, a near-zero reflectance (0.012%) was obtained via simulation, whereas an experimental value of 0.157% was obtained when the samples fabricated based on the optimal design was used. Furthermore, this discrepancy between the simulated and experimental results was analyzed by considering the change in the reflective index with the wavelength..

Using theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the threshold value of the optical bistability of mono-layer third-order nonlinearity graphene can be tuned by changing its Fermi energy, relaxation time, two-photon absorption coefficient, and temperature. We demonstrate that the larger Fermi energy level,the higher temperature and the larger threshold value of the optical bistability. Further, a higher two-photon absorption coefficient corresponds to a higher low threshold of the bistability. Moreover, the relaxation time and two-photon absorption coefficient can significantly alter the light transmissivity of the graphene structure, although the light transmissivity is insensitive to the temperature of the graphene material. Results offer a theoretical basis for designing nanophotonic devices with micro-nano structure such as optical switches and optical sensors..

However, owing to the lack of dynamic range of its own frequency-shift measurement, its practical application is limited. In this paper, a star map method to measure the signal optical frequency shift was proposed, which used the changing of phase-modulation discriminate parameters in the two- or three-dimensional coordinate system.

The proposed method uses laboratory integrating sphere calibration In this study, we propose an on-board relative radiometric method based on a solar diffuser to correct the non-uniformity of the pixel response of the linear array CCD detector based on the imaging optical system of the push-room optical remote sensor. The proposed method uses laboratory integrating sphere calibration data as a reference standard to perform flat-field correction on the onboard calibration data, and the influences of the stray light in the field of view of the camera and the distribution of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) on the relative calibration results are eliminated; further, we obtain the relative calibration coefficients of each pixel, which can be applied to three different objects, i.e., the ocean, the Gobi desert, and the cloud. The results prove that the various vertical striping noises in the raw image can be effectively eliminated and that the image streaking metrics with respect to each scene is better than 0.0045 after relative calibration. Based on the solar diffuser, relative radiometric calibration for the linear array CCD detector in the large dynamic range can be realized, exhibiting considerable timeliness and calibration accuracy..

The traditional optical particle counting method is limited by the bandwidth of particle echo pulse. Therefore, it cannot be directly applied to the measurement of particle number at the back end of the ultrafine particle condensation growth system. In this paper, based on the principle of particle light scattering, a The traditional optical particle counting method is limited by the bandwidth of particle echo pulse. Therefore, it cannot be directly applied to the measurement of particle number at the back end of the ultrafine particle condensation growth system. In this paper, based on the principle of particle light scattering, a particle optical counting module by using the scheme of high-bandwidth particle echo pulse is designed. At a sampling flow rate of 0.3 L·min -1, the echo pulse half-width of the 15 μm standard polystyrene particle is 650 ns, which improves the efficiency of particle counting. In order to improve the upper limit and accuracy of the particle number concentration measurement, a particle coincidence correction method based on probability statistics is proposed. The upper limit of the particle number concentration measurement is 2×10 5 cm -3 by using this correction method. Experiments in the self-developed butanol-based ultrafine particle condensation growth system are conducted. The results show that the correlations between the self-developed system and the ambient air concentration measurement devices TSI-3788 and Airmous-A20 both exceed 0.98 , and in contrast, that between the self-developed system and the vehicle emission solid particle number concentration measurement device MEXA-200SPCS is up to 0.96. Thus, the accuracies of the designed optical particle counting module and the coincidence correction method are verified..

The clinical application of penicillin is very extensive, and it is extremely important for the authenticity identification of such drugs and the identification of drug content. In this paper, the self-built terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system is used to test and analyze the pure penicillin sodium and amoxicillinThe clinical application of penicillin is very extensive, and it is extremely important for the authenticity identification of such drugs and the identification of drug content. In this paper, the self-built terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system is used to test and analyze the pure penicillin sodium and amoxicillin capsules from three different manufacturers. The absorption spectra of four drugs in the range of 0.2-1.4 THz and the obvious absorption peaks are obtained. At the same time, the changes of absorption peak intensity of pure penicillin sodium and amoxicillin with different contents under the same mass are tested, and the corresponding relationship between the mass and intensity is clearly obtained. Finally, the intensities of three amoxicillin drugs are put together for comparison, and the correspondence between the content and the intensity can be visually seen. Spectroscopic study results on pure penicillin sodium and amoxicillin show that terahertz spectroscopy can be used for qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of penicillin drugs, which is of great significance to the substance identification of penicillin drugs..

Further, the impurity contents of the crystals were analyzed using ultraviolet (UV)-visible absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectra. The crystal structures and quality of the single crystals exhibiting different qualities were analyzed based on the Raman spectrum, X-ray rocking curve, and X-ray white-light morphology beam. Subsequently, the crystal structures and defects of a single-crystal diamond exhibiting different qualities were evaluated under a polarizing microscope. The obtained high-purity single-crystal diamond contains a few defects and impurities, and its dislocation stress field is uniformly distributed in the aggregate state. The maximum transmittances of single-crystal diamonds with high purity and low-doped nitrogen in the UV visible near-infrared (UV-visible-NIR) band are 71.58% and 71.27%, respectively, which are approximately similar to the theoretical value of transmittance (71.6%) for diamond. In the intrinsic infrared absorption band, the lattice symmetry of high-purity diamond crystals is better, whereas the absorbance is smaller than that of low-concentration nitrogen-doped single-crystal diamonds. The high-quality single-crystal diamond film prepared by controlling the trace impurities is expected to be used as an optical detector probe and an optical window..

In this study, we have conducted a proof-X-ray fluorescence imaging (XRFI) is a promising diagnostic method with respect to the geometrically complex fluids in high-energy-density physics, including experimental astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion, because of its capability of detecting localized information. In this study, we have conducted a proof-of-principle experiment with respect to XRFI at the Shenguang-Ⅲ prototype laser facility. In this experiment, a static object comprising poly-4-methyl-1-pentene foam and titanium dioxide nanoparticles was pumped with vanadium plasma radiation, resulting in the emission of titanium K-shell fluorescent photons. A flat-crystal spectrometer dispersed and imaged these fluorescent photons, and one-dimensional spatially resolved intensity profiles were successfully obtained. Further, the fluorescent intensity profiles were quantitatively simulated based on the theories related to fluorescence production and flat-crystal imaging, denoting good agreement with the experimental results. This research is directly useful for the application of XRFI to hydrodynamic experiments in case of complex geometries..
