Multifeature Contrast Enhancement Algorithm for Digital Media Images Based on the Diffusion Equation by Jijun Wang, Yi Yuan, Guoxiang Li

“…In this paper, the image enhancement algorithm of nonlinear diffusion filtering is used to add a velocity term to the diffusion function using a coupled denoising model, which makes the diffusion of the original model smooth, and the interferogram is solved numerically with the help of numerical simulation to verify the denoising processing effect before and after the model correction. To meet the real-time applications in the field of video surveillance, this paper focuses on the optimization of the algorithm program, including software pipeline optimization, operation unit balancing, single instruction multiple data optimization, arithmetic operation optimization, and onchip storage optimization. …”

Study on the Durability of Concrete under an Underwater Coupling Environment by Chunhua You, Gen He

“…It is suggested that the water-cement ratio of 0.34 and the cementitious material of 480 kg/m3 be selected for the preparation of the pile foundation concrete; when the content of fly ash is 15%, the antisulfuric acid corrosion ability of the concrete cementitious system can be enhanced and the concrete with 40% mineral powder has strong antichloride ion corrosion ability; the results show that the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete samples with seven mix proportions is less than 6∗10–12 m2/s, which can meet the durability design requirements and reduce the damage of concrete. …”

Estimation of Aperture and Stiffness of Fractures under High Water Pressure Using Hydrological Data and Slurry Consolidating Body by Jianbo Li, Yanchun Xu

“…Under the grouting pressure of 15 MPa and the designed slurry diffusion radius of 30 m, the normal stiffness of the fracture filled with slurry consolidating body ranges from 0.5 to 14.4 GPa/m. The results meet the positive relationship between normal stiffness and fracture aperture got by the literature data and can be used for the study of grouting effect of the hidden fractures, including the evaluation of strength and water resistance of the slurry consolidating body. …”
