Simulation of Load–Sinkage Relationship and Parameter Inversion of Snow Based on Coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian Method by Ming Zhu, Pengyu Li, Dongqing Li, Wei Wei, Jianfeng Liu, Xixing Long, Qingkai Meng, Yongjie Shu, Qingdong Yan

“…The results show the following: (1) The material cohesive, angle of friction, and hardening law of snow have great influence on the load–sinkage relationship of snow, the elastic modulus has a great influence on the unloading/reloading stiffness of snow, and the influence of density and Poisson’s ratio on the load–sinkage relationship can be ignored. (2) The correlation coefficient between the inversion result and the matching test data is 0.979, which is 0.304 higher than that of the initial inversion curve. (3) The load–sinkage relationship of snow with different snow depths and plate diameters was simulated by using the model parameter of inversion, and the results were compared with the experimental results. …”

In-loop filter algorithm based on content pre-analysis by LU Wen, GAO Xin-bo, HE Li-huo, ZHANG Hua

“…Traditional block-based video coders suffered from annoying blocking artifacts in low bit-rate coding.Aiming to high complexity for determining the block edge strength of deblocking filter,a fast in-loop deblocking filter based on content pre-analysis was proposed,which utilized STGS-image to partition character of different regions and measured the block effect intension in blockwise based on optical flow equation and relativity of interframe.Experimental results show that the proposed greatly reduces the complexity of filter algorithm,and then the subjective image quality of the proposed is approximate to that of the H.264 in-loop filter.…”

Design of robust constant beamwidth beamformer with maximal sparsity by Kai WU, Tao SU, Qiang LI, Xue-hui HE

“…To reduce the complexity of broadband array systems,an optimization model was built based on the analysis of the sparsity of the broadband array.The objective function was the convex combination of sensor and TDL sparsity with the constraint of constant beamwidth.By re-weighting the objective function,the sparsity of the array weights in-creased and converged to the maximal value.The equivalence between the norm constraint on array weights and the spar-sity of TDL was proved.Simulation results demonstrate that to obtain the same performance,the number of sensors and TDL of the proposed beamformer needed is decreased which reduces the system complexity,showing that the beam-former designed has great practical value.…”

Physical layer abstraction for MIMO MLD by ZHANG Jin-bao1, ZHENG Hong-ming2, TAN Zhen-hui1, XIONG Lei1

“…Physical layer abstraction aims to evaluate the instantaneous quality of wireless channel.Researches on physical layer abstraction for MIMO system have demonstrated that,EESM algorithm can accurately evaluate channel quality for MIMO system with MMSE detection.However when it comes to MLD,EESM turns invalid.To the question of EESM algorithm,RBIR based physical layer abstraction was proposed from the view of information theory.Simulation results based on WiMAX II DL system show that,the proposed algorithm has improved the accuracy of physical layer abstraction for MIMO system with MLD greatly.…”
