Research on multi-stream variable resolution compression and transmission technology based on scene elements in Internet of things environment by Shangwu XIAO, Ruimin HU, Yu CHEN, Jing XIAO

“…In response to the demand of wide coverage and massive access,low bandwidth and low power consumption is an important research direction to solve this problem.In smart cities,security monitoring and other application areas,video surveillance based on the region of interest of the face are particularly important.It is a feasible direction to realize the extraction of scene elements,transmission of key information with very low bandwidth and the application of video technology in the Internet of things environment through the strategy of multi-stream differential coding.By designing a face-oriented variable resolution hybrid coding algorithm,the bandwidth could be saved and the power consumption could be reduced greatly,the access requirements of narrowband Internet of things could be met.Through the face detection algorithm based on the deep learning Caffe framework,the face region of interest was acquired in key frames,and the face image was encoded with high resolution.By designing the code rate adaptive allocation algorithm,the bandwidth was utilized rationally,and the encoded face information and the full background content were distinguished.The encoded mixed code stream information was transmitted through the narrowband; the key frame-based face enhancement decoding algorithm was adopted at the receiving end to obtain a partial HD high-definition monitoring picture.Experiments show that when the video encoded by the proposed method is transmitted in a narrow band whose transmission rate is 120~160 kbit/s,the face image can maintain the same definition as the original HD monitoring acquisition end,which has strong practicability.…”

Dynamic Assessment of Agricultural Drought Risk in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 2000 to 2018 by LIU Guonie, LIANG Yuanyuan, QIU Yue, XIA Jingxia, DING Mengyao, SUN Peng

“…In the context of global warming and climate change,drought poses a serious threat to agricultural production.The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a “sensor” and “sensitive area” of climate change.Researching the agricultural drought risk of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is conducive to drought prevention planning of the area and improving the ability to resist drought.A risk assessment model is developed for agricultural droughts on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in light of regional disaster system theory,which is employed to investigate the hazard,exposure,vulnerability and spatiotemporal features of agricultural droughts therein.Moreover,the paper regionalizes the risk grade at a county level.The results show the followings:① The hazard of agricultural drought risk on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau presents a “high-low-high” distribution from southeast to northwest,and the southeastern region shows an increasing trend.Wheat and highland barley in the eastern and southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are at a high agricultural drought risk from July to September.Forages in the northern region are at a high agricultural drought risk from April to August.② The regional difference of agricultural drought exposure in Tibet Plateau is small.The exposure shows an increasing trend in the east and northwest while a decreasing trend in the central and west.③ The agricultural drought vulnerability of 98.79% of the counties and cities is decreasing,which passes the significance test at the confidence level of 99%.④ The southeastern and northern regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau witness a high agricultural drought risk and an increasing trend of it.…”
