Spatial error concealment method based on tensor voting by GAN Nan, GONG Sheng-rong, WANG Zhao-hui, LIU Chun-ping, LIU Quan

“…As the existing spatial error concealment algorithms is lack of the recovery accuracy in complex texture areas,a spatial error concealment method based on tensor voting was proposed,which extracted structural information by using tensor voting.On this basis,an improved spatial error concealment algorithm which combined with the traditional algo-rithms was further proposed.Firstly the lost marc blocks were classified into three categories,and then the appropriate concealment method was chose to recover the lost macro blocks according to the type of lost macro blocks.Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the recovery accuracy effectively and avoids the edge disorder phe-nomenon,especially in the region with more complex texture,the subjective and objective quality of concealed image is improved greatly.…”

NC Machining Simulation and Virtual Measurement of Spiral Bevel Gear based on the VERICUT by Zeng Hong, Yang Lin, Chen Yanyan, Wang Yanzhong

“…The NC machining simulation and virtual measurement of spiral bevel gear is carried out based on the VERICUT.Firstly,the coordinate transformation principle of traditional machine and NC machining principle are introduced.Then the tooth cutting simulations of the large gear of spiral bevel gear are carried out by using VERICUT.Secondly,the three-dimensional model is reversely built by means of UG software and the generated coordinates of tooth surface points.Finally,the simulation tooth cutting model is measured and contrasted with UG design model to verify the feasibility of NC processing method.Meanwhile,it also offers shortcuts to the actual NC machining of the gear,and greatly shortens the cycle from design to production,thus improving the production efficiency of spiral bevel gear.…”

Optimization method through topology reconfiguration for mobile underwater wireless sensor networks by Ming HE, Wen-hui LIANG, Qiu-li CHEN, Xi-liang CHEN, Jian CHEN

“…The topology of mobile underwater wireless sensor networks (MUWSN) evolves dynamically with ocean currents,which will have great impact on network performance.To solve this problem,a topology optimization method for MUWSNs is proposed based on topology reconfiguration.Firstly,the proposed method optimizes the coverage rate of MUWSNs by adjusting the location of sensor nodes through simulating fish behaviors.Secondly,to optimize the connectivity of MUWSNs,the proposed method repairs disconnected positions and eliminates key nodes in MUWSN through using redundant nodes.Finally,simulation results verify the rationality and validity of the proposed method.Experimental results show that the algorithm can guarantee the network coverage is maintained at about 97%,connectivity rate above 89%,with lower energy consumption.…”
