Author(s):Lu, Xiaoqiang(1,2); Wang, Binqiang(1,2); Zheng, Xiangtao(1,2); Li, Xuelong(1,2)Source: arXiv Volume: Issue: DOI: Published: December 21, 2017Abstract:Inspired by recent development of artificial satellite, remote sensing images have attracted extensive attention. Recently, noticeable progress has been made in scene classification and target detection. However, it is still not clear how to describe the remote sensing image content with accurate and concise sentences. In this paper, we investigate to describe the remote sensing images with accurate and flexible sentences. First, some annotated instructions are presented to better describe the remote sensing images considering the special characteristics of remote sensing images. Second, in order to exhaustively exploit the contents of remote sensing images, a large-scale aerial image dataset is constructed for remote sensing image caption. Finally, a comprehensive review is presented on the proposed dataset to fully advance the task of remote sensing caption. Extensive experiments on the proposed dataset demonstrate that the content of the remote sensing image can be completely described by generating language descriptions.

Title:Variable curvature mirror having variable thickness: Design and fabrication
Author(s):Zhao, Hui(1); Xie, Xiaopeng(2); Xu, Liang(1); Ding, Jiaoteng(1); Shen, Le(1); Gong, Jie(3)Source: Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering Volume: 10463 Issue: DOI: 10.1117/12.2285184 Published: 2017Abstract:Variable curvature mirror (VCM) can change its curvature radius dynamically and is usually used to correct the defocus and spherical aberration caused by thermal lens effect to improve the output beam quality of high power solid-state laser. Recently, the probable application of VCM in realizing non-moving element optical zoom imaging in visible band has been paid much attention. The basic requirement for VCM lies in that it should provide a large enough saggitus variation and still maintains a high enough surface figure at the same time. Therefore in this manuscript, by combing the pressurization based actuation with a variable thickness mirror design, the purpose of obtaining large saggitus variation and maintaining quite good surface figure accuracy at the same time could be achieved. A prototype zoom mirror with diameter of 120mm and central thickness of 8mm is designed, fabricated and tested. Experimental results demonstrate that the zoom mirror having an initial surface figure accuracy superior to 1/80λ could provide bigger than 36um saggitus variation and after finishing the curvature variation its surface figure accuracy could still be superior to 1/40λ with the spherical aberration removed, which proves that the effectiveness of the theoretical design. ? 2017 SPIE.Accession Number: 20180304654861 -

Title:Analysis of the influence of diattenuation on optical imaging system by using the theory of vector plane wave spectrum
Author(s):Zhang, Min-Rui(1,2); He, Zheng-Quan(1); Wang, Tao(1); Tian, Jin-Shou(1)Source: Wuli Xuebao/Acta Physica Sinica Volume: 66 Issue: 8 DOI: 10.7498/aps.66.084202 Published: April 20, 2017Abstract:In most of the researches of polarization aberration, the influence of diattenuation is not large enough to affect imaging quality evidently. However, the modulation transfer function decreases when optical elements with complex planar dielectric structures and low transmittance, such as beam-splitter and optical modulator, are introduced into an imaging system. In this paper, a vector optical model in Descartes coordinate system is proposed based on the concept of vector plane wave spectrum (VPWS). The results of calculation show that the VPWS model is consistent with Debye model. Compared with Debye vector diffraction integral, the VPWS method is more suitable to the description of the PA introduced by planar optical device with opaque mask, such as larger surface quantum-confined-stark-effect electro-absorption modulator, which is used to modulate the light collected by optical antenna of time-of-flight (TOF) depth system or modulating-retroreflector free-space-optical communication system. In order to simplify the calculation and obtain the conclusion of the change in imaging quality directly, the formula of optical transfer function is decomposed into three parts (TE component, TM component and the correlation of them) instead of polynomial expansion of pupil function. The influences of diattenuation on MTF is studied globally and locally in a range of cut-off frequency of optical imaging system (2NA/λ). Allowance of diattenuation is analysed by numerical calculation, and a mathematical expression is derived. The result shows that the change of diattenuation can be neglected when the spatial frequency v is less than 0.2NA/λ, and the range of allowance decreases with the increase of spatial frequency. According to numerical calculation shown in Fig.7 and the derived formulas (15) and (16), the ratios of reflection/transmission coefficient of s-light and p-light √Dα should range respectively from 0.63 to 1.6(0.2NA/λ 0.8NA/λ ) when the MTF is required to be not less than 90% of the value in ideal diffraction-limited system. The range of allowance becomes larger gradually with the increase of angle θn between the normal of optical interface n and the optical axis of imaging system z. If a polarization beam splitter is considered, √Dα→∞,θn sin-1 NA should be greater than 1-3. ? 2017 Chinese Physical Society.Accession Number: 20172503802226 -

Title:Robust Joint Graph Sparse Coding for Unsupervised Spectral Feature Selection
Author(s):Zhu, Xiaofeng(1); Li, Xuelong(2); Zhang, Shichao(3); Ju, Chunhua(3); Wu, Xindong(4)Source: IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems Volume: 28 Issue: 6 DOI: 10.1109/TNNLS.2016.2521602 Published: June 2017Abstract:In this paper, we propose a new unsupervised spectral feature selection model by embedding a graph regularizer into the framework of joint sparse regression for preserving the local structures of data. To do this, we first extract the bases of training data by previous dictionary learning methods and, then, map original data into the basis space to generate their new representations, by proposing a novel joint graph sparse coding (JGSC) model. In JGSC, we first formulate its objective function by simultaneously taking subspace learning and joint sparse regression into account, then, design a new optimization solution to solve the resulting objective function, and further prove the convergence of the proposed solution. Furthermore, we extend JGSC to a robust JGSC (RJGSC) via replacing the least square loss function with a robust loss function, for achieving the same goals and also avoiding the impact of outliers. Finally, experimental results on real data sets showed that both JGSC and RJGSC outperformed the state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of κ-nearest neighbor classification performance. ? 2016 IEEE.Accession Number: 20161102082260 -

Title:Study on resin layer polishing of carbon fiber mirror based on ion beam figuring
Author(s):Ding, Jiao Teng(1,2); Fan, Xue Wu(1); Xu, Liang(1); Ma, Zhen(1); Xie, Yong Jie(1); Wang, Yong Jie(1); Luo, Yao(3)Source: ICCM International Conferences on Composite Materials Volume: 2017-August Issue: DOI: Published: 2017Abstract:Based on the advantages of stress-free and non-liquid environment, ion beam polishing is the ideal processing technology for the Resin modified layer polishing of the carbon fiber mirror. Since the glass transition temperature of the resin is low, the energy absorbed by the surface of the mirror during ion beam processing can cause localized high temperatures, which can lead to the risk of resin softening. The finite element analysis software was used to simulate the heat transfer process of Ion beam acting on the resin modified layer. The optimum process parameters of the ion beam polishing were determined. At the same time, the resin layer surface polishing test was completed. The experimental results show that the surface polishing of the resin modified layer can be achieved by ion beam processing, and it has the convergence property and the correctness of the theoretical model is Verified. ? 2017 International Committee on Composite Materials.

Title:Coarse-to-Fine Learning for Single-Image Super-Resolution
Author(s):Zhang, Kaibing(1); Tao, Dacheng(2); Gao, Xinbo(3); Li, Xuelong(4); Li, Jie(5)Source: IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems Volume: 28 Issue: 5 DOI: 10.1109/TNNLS.2015.2511069 Published: May 2017Abstract:This paper develops a coarse-to-fine framework for single-image super-resolution (SR) reconstruction. The coarse-to-fine approach achieves high-quality SR recovery based on the complementary properties of both example learning-and reconstruction-based algorithms: example learning-based SR approaches are useful for generating plausible details from external exemplars but poor at suppressing aliasing artifacts, while reconstruction-based SR methods are propitious for preserving sharp edges yet fail to generate fine details. In the coarse stage of the method, we use a set of simple yet effective mapping functions, learned via correlative neighbor regression of grouped low-resolution (LR) to high-resolution (HR) dictionary atoms, to synthesize an initial SR estimate with particularly low computational cost. In the fine stage, we devise an effective regularization term that seamlessly integrates the properties of local structural regularity, nonlocal self-similarity, and collaborative representation over relevant atoms in a learned HR dictionary, to further improve the visual quality of the initial SR estimation obtained in the coarse stage. The experimental results indicate that our method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods for producing high-quality images despite that both the initial SR estimation and the followed enhancement are cheap to implement. ? 2012 IEEE.Accession Number: 20160902031393 -
