Previous studies have been pri- marily focused on the growth and optical properties of the GaAs-based bismuthides [3], while the properties of other dilute bismides are less well understood. Berding et al. [4] theoretically predicted that InPBi is expected to be an attractive candidate for narrow-gap applications. Experimentally, the InPBi alloy with good single crystal quality has been successfully synthesized recently and exhibits strong and broad photoluminescence at room temperature [5,6]. However, the electric transport characteristics of the InPBi alloy are poorly understood. In this work, we systematically investigate the effect of Bi incorporation on electric transport properties of the InP1-xBix alloys.展开更多

文摘In order to solve the problem that target tracking frames are lost during the visual tracking of pigs,this research proposed an algorithm for multi target pigs tracking loss correction based on Faster R-CNN.The video of live pigs was processed by Faster R-CNN to get the object bounding box.Then,the SURF and background difference method were combined to predict whether the target pig will be occluded in the next frame.According to the occlusion condition,the maximum value of the horizontal and vertical coordinate offset of the bounding box in the adjacent two frames of the frame image in continuous N(N is the value of the video frame rate)were calculated.When bounding boxes in a video frame are merged into one bounding box,this maximum value was used to correct the current tracking frame offset in order to achieve the purpose of solving the tracking target loss problem.The experiment results showed that the success rate range of RP Faster-RCNN in the data set was 80%-97% while in term of Faster-RCNN was 40%-85%.And the average center point error of RP Faster-RCNN was 1.46 lower than Faster-RCNN which was about 2.60.The new algorithm was characterized by good robustness and adaptability,which could solve the problem of missing tracking target and accurately track multiple targets when the targets occlude each other.

文摘III-V Semiconductors containing a small amount of Bi, known as dilute bismides, have attracted great interest in recent years, due to the large band-gap reduction and other unique properties [1,2]. Previous studies have been pri- marily focused on the growth and optical properties of the GaAs-based bismuthides [3], while the properties of other dilute bismides are less well understood. Berding et al. [4] theoretically predicted that InPBi is expected to be an attractive candidate for narrow-gap applications. Experimentally, the InPBi alloy with good single crystal quality has been successfully synthesized recently and exhibits strong and broad photoluminescence at room temperature [5,6]. However, the electric transport characteristics of the InPBi alloy are poorly understood. In this work, we systematically investigate the effect of Bi incorporation on electric transport properties of the InP1-xBix alloys.

文摘Accurate dynamics modeling is crucial for the safety and control offixed-wing aircraft under perturbation(e.g.icing/fault).In this work,we propose a physics-informed Neural Ordinary Differential Equation(PI-NODE)-based scheme for aircraft dynamics modeling under icing/fault.First,icing accumulation and control surface faults are considered and injected into the nominal(clean)aircraft dynamics model.Second,the physics knowledge of aircraft dynamics modeling is divided into kinematics and kinetics.The former is universally applicable and borrows directly from the nominal aircraft.The latter kinetics knowledge,which hinges on external forces and moments,is inaccurate and challenging under icing/fault.To address this issue,we employ Neural ODE to compensate for the residual between the aircraft dynamics under icing/fault and the nominal(clean)condition,resulting in a naturally continuous-time modeling approach.In experiments,we benchmark the proposed PI-NODE against three baseline methods in a dedicated flight scenario.Comparative studies validate the higher accuracy and improve the generalization ability of the proposed PI-NODE for aircraft dynamics modeling under icing/fault.
