Multispectral optoelectronic device for controlling an autonomous mobile platform
Статья научная
The paper substantiates the use of multispectral optoelectronic sensors intended to solve the problem of improving the positioning accuracy of autonomous mobile platforms. A mathematical model of the developed device operation has been suggested in the paper. Its distinctive feature is the cooperative processing of signals obtained from sensors operating in ultraviolet, visible, and infrared ranges and lidar. It reduces the computational complexity of detecting dynamic and stationary objects within the field of view of the device by processing data on the diffuse reflectivity of materials. The paper presents the functional organization of a multispectral optoelectronic device that makes it possible to detect and classify working scene objects with less time spending as compared to analogs. In the course of experimental research, the validity of the mathematical model was evaluated and there were obtained empirical data by means of the proposed hardware and software test stand. The accuracy evaluation of the detected object, at a distance of up to 100m inclusive, is within 0.95. At a distance of more than 100 m, it decreases. This is due to the operating range of a lidar. Error in determining spatial coordinates is of exponential character and it also increases sharply at a distance close to 100 m.

Mutual modality learning for video action classification
Статья научная
The construction of models for video action classification progresses rapidly. However, the performance of those models can still be easily improved by ensembling with the same models trained on different modalities (e.g. Optical flow). Unfortunately, it is computationally expensive to use several modalities during inference. Recent works examine the ways to integrate advantages of multi-modality into a single RGB-model. Yet, there is still room for improvement. In this paper, we explore various methods to embed the ensemble power into a single model. We show that proper initialization, as well as mutual modality learning, enhances single-modality models. As a result, we achieve state-of-the-art results in the Something-Something-v2 benchmark.

Nanophotonic structure formation by dry e-beam etching of the resist: resolution limitation origins
Статья научная
A wide range of structures for nanophotonics and optoelectronics can be formed by dry e-beam etching of the resist (DEBER). High resist sensitivity due to chain depolymerization reaction provides efficient etching with high throughput of the method. The structures obtained by the DEBER in this research are well-rounded diffraction gratings, binary gratings and staircase profiles. The major disadvantage of DEBER is poor lateral resolution, which may be caused by different physical mechanisms. Four groups of possible mechanisms leading to the resolution limitation are determined and the influence of some mechanisms is estimated.

This paper presents the results of an analysis of the necessary propagation conditions in a step-index optical fiber with a Kerr nonlinearity of two modes, LP01 and LP11 , during the transmission of high-power optical pulses. All results were obtained by solving a system of two nonlinear equations for these modes, obtained by the Gauss approximation method, and the subsequent use of a procedure for refining estimates using the mixed finite elements method. The necessary conditions are determined, estimates of the boundaries for the range of normalised frequencies for which they are fulfilled are obtained, and an approximate formula is proposed for estimating the upper limit of this range.

Network community partition based on intelligent clustering algorithm
Статья научная
The division of network community is an important part of network research. Based on the clustering algorithm, this study analyzed the partition method of network community. Firstly, the classic Louvain clustering algorithm was introduced, and then it was improved based on the node similarity to get better partition results. Finally, experiments were carried out on the random network and the real network. The results showed that the improved clustering algorithm was faster than GN and KL algorithms, the community had larger modularity, and the purity was closer to 1. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method and make some contributions to the reliable community division.

Neural network regularization in the problem of few-view computed tomography
Статья научная
The computed tomography allows to reconstruct the inner morphological structure of an object without physical destructing. The accuracy of digital image reconstruction directly depends on the measurement conditions of tomographic projections, in particular, on the number of recorded projections. In medicine, to reduce the dose of the patient load there try to reduce the number of measured projections. However, in a few-view computed tomography, when we have a small number of projections, using standard reconstruction algorithms leads to the reconstructed images degradation. The main feature of our approach for few-view tomography is that algebraic reconstruction is being finalized by a neural network with keeping measured projection data because the additive result is in zero space of the forward projection operator. The final reconstruction presents the sum of the additive calculated with the neural network and the algebraic reconstruction. First is an element of zero space of the forward projection operator. The second is an element of orthogonal addition to the zero space. Last is the result of applying the algebraic reconstruction method to a few-angle sinogram. The dependency model between elements of zero space of forward projection operator and algebraic reconstruction is built with neural networks. It demonstrated that realization of the suggested approach allows achieving better reconstruction accuracy and better computation time than state-of-the-art approaches on test data from the Low Dose CT Challenge dataset without increasing reprojection error.

Noise minimized high resolution digital holographic microscopy applied to surface topography
Статья научная
The topography of surface relief gratings was studied by digital holographic microscopy. The applicability of the method for quantitative measurements of surface microstructure at nanoscale was demonstrated. The method for wavefront reconstruction of surface relief from a digital hologram recorded in off-axis configuration was also applied. The main feature is noise filtration due to the presence of noise in the recorded intensity distribution and the use of all orders of the hologram. Reconstruction results proved a better effectiveness of our approach for topography studying of relief grating patterned on a ChG As2S3 - Se nanomultilayers in comparison with standard Fourier Transform and Atom Force Microscope methods.

Noise reduction and mammography image segmentation optimization with novel QIMFT-SSA method
Статья научная
Breast cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases that affects women worldwide and has led to many deaths. Early detection of breast masses prolongs life expectancy in women and hence the development of an automated system for breast masses supports radiologists for accurate diagnosis. In fact, providing an optimal approach with the highest speed and more accuracy is an approach provided by computer-aided design techniques to determine the exact area of breast tumors to use a decision support management system as an assistant to physicians. This study proposes an optimal approach to noise reduction in mammographic images and to identify salt and pepper, Gaussian, Poisson and impact noises to determine the exact mass detection operation after these noise reduction. It therefore offers a method for noise reduction operations called Quantum Inverse MFT Filtering and a method for precision mass segmentation called the Optimal Social Spider Algorithm (SSA) in mammographic images. The hybrid approach called QIMFT-SSA is evaluated in terms of criteria compared to previous methods such as peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean-Squared Error (MSE) in noise reduction and accuracy of detection for mass area recognition. The proposed method presents more performance of noise reduction and segmentation in comparison to state-of-arts methods. supported the work.

In this paper we investigate non-Markovian evolution of a two-level system (qubit) in a bosonic bath under influence of an external classical fluctuating environment. The interaction with the bath has the Lorentzian spectral density, and the fluctuating environment (stochastic field) is represented by a set of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. Each of the subenvironments of the composite environment is able to induce non-Markovian dynamics of the two-level system. By means of the numerically exact method of hierarchical equations of motion, we study steady states of the two-level system, evolution of the reduced density matrix and the equilibrium emission spectra in dependence on the frequency cutoffs and the coupling strengths of the subenvironments. Additionally, we investigate the impact of the rotating wave approximation (RWA) for the interaction with the bath on accuracy of the results.

Non-stability of MM-wave radar imaging of the car in dynamics
Статья научная
One of the important requirement to the radioimages formed by the systems of the automatic vehicle classification and identification or automobile imaging radar is the quality of forming radioimages. In ideals the quality of radioimages can be equal to optical images, because car radar must not only to determinate availability of the obstacle, but to recognized and identificated it too. The conducted theoretical and first experimental investigations have shown that the radar images of obstacles formed by radar are characterized by the non-stability of the radioimages, which can not permit to identificated and recognized the targets. Unsteadies of the car radar imaging in dynamics are analyzing and discussed in this paper. The methods of the decreasing of the radar imaging unsteadies are discussed.

Numerical approach to compound quantum repeater scheme with coherent states
Статья научная
A numerical model of a quantum repeater operating with Schrödinger cat states is constructed. The model describes the performance of such a system in the presence of decoherence effects, namely, noise in the quantum channel and the efficiency of the photon-number-resolving detector. In the framework of the numerical model, a theoretical analysis of the system functioning is carried out for the elementary link by calculating its performance characteristics. Namely, we calculate photodetector click probabilities and fidelity for various sets of decoherence parameters. These estimates are necessary in the context of further experimental research at the junction with other branches of quantum communications, so that to use the entanglement distribution when it comes to operating quantum teleportation and quantum key distribution protocols based on entanglement. The model will be developed further as a versatile drag-and-drop software simulating the full-fledged entanglement swapping protocol operation.

Numerical simulation of 2D electrodynamic problems with unstructured triangular meshes
Статья научная
We present a generalization of standard leap-frog plus Yee mesh approach for Cauchy problem in electrodynamics simulations on unstructured triangulated mesh. The presented approach still inherits from finite-difference time-domain and do not use techniques developed in finite-volume time-domain approach. In the paper the whole flow from mesh creation to actual simulation is presented. The proposed computation flow is parallel ready and can be implemented for distributed systems (computation servers, graphical processing units, etc.). We studied the influence of non-regular triangulation on stability and dispersion properties of numerical solution.

The response of fiber specklegram sensors (FSSs) is given as function of variations in the intensity distribution of the modal interference pattern or speckle pattern induced by external disturbances. In the present work, the behavior of a FSS sensing scheme under thermal perturbations is studied by means of computational simulations of the speckle patterns. These simulations are generated by applying the finite element method (FEM) to the modal interference in optical fibers as a function of the thermal disturbance and the length of the sensing zone. A correlation analysis is per-formed on the images generated in the simulations to evaluate the dependence between the changes in the speckle pattern grains and the intensity of the applied disturbance. The numerical simulation shows how the building characteristic of the length of sensing zone, combined with image processing, can be manipulated to control the metrological performance of the sensors.

Numerically focused optical coherence microscopy with structured illumination aperture
Статья научная
In optical coherence microscopy (OCM) with a given numerical aperture ( NA ) of the objectives the transverse resolution can be increased by increasing the numerical aperture of illumination ( NAi ). However, this may also lead to attenuation of the signal with defocus preventing the effective numerically focused 3D imaging of the required sample volume. This paper presents an approach to structuring the illumination aperture, which allows combining the advantages of increased transverse resolution (peculiar to high NAi ) with small attenuation of the signal with defocus (peculiar to low NAi ) for high-resolution numerically focused 3D imaging in OCM.

On chip optical neural networks based on mmi microring resonators for image classification
Статья научная
We propose a new on-chip optical neural network (OONN) based on multimode interference-microring resonators (MMI-RRs). The suggested structure eliminates the need for wavelength division multiplexers (WDM) to create an optical neuron on a single chip. New microring resonator structure based on 4×4 MMI coupler with a size of 24µm × 2900 µm is used for the basic elements of the computation matrix, as a result a higher bandwidth and free spectral range (FSR) can be achieved. The Si3N4 platform along with the graphene sheet is designed to modulate the signals and weights of the neural networks at a very high speed. The Si3N4 can provide wide range of operating wavelengths and can work directly with the wavelengths of color images. The structure's benefits include rapid computing speed, little loss, and the ability to handle both positive and negative values. The OONN has been applied to the MNIST dataset with a speed faster than 2.8 to 14x times compared with the conventional GPU methods.

On the automation of gestalt perception in remotely sensed data
Статья научная
Gestalt perception, the laws of seeing, and perceptual grouping is rarely addressed in the con-text of remotely sensed imagery. The paper at hand reviews the corresponding state as well in ma-chine vision as in remote sensing, in particular concerning urban areas. Automatic methods can be separated into three types: 1) knowledge-based inference, which needs machine-readable knowl-edge, 2) automatic learning methods, which require labeled or un-labeled example images, and 3) perceptual grouping along the lines of the laws of seeing, which should be pre-coded and should work on any kind of imagery, but in particular on urban aerial or satellite data. Perceptual group-ing of parts into aggregates is a combinatorial problem. Exhaustive enumeration of all combina-tions is intractable. The paper at hand presents a constant-false-alarm-rate search rationale. An open problem is the choice of the extraction method for the primitive objects to start with. Here super-pixel-segmentation is used.

One-shot learning with triplet loss for vegetation classification tasks
Статья научная
Triplet loss function is one of the options that can significantly improve the accuracy of the One-shot Learning tasks. Starting from 2015, many projects use Siamese networks and this kind of loss for face recognition and object classification. In our research, we focused on two tasks related to vegetation. The first one is plant disease detection on 25 classes of five crops (grape, cotton, wheat, cucumbers, and corn). This task is motivated because harvest losses due to diseases is a serious problem for both large farming structures and rural families. The second task is the identification of moss species (5 classes). Mosses are natural bioaccumulators of pollutants; therefore, they are used in environmental monitoring programs. The identification of moss species is an important step in the sample preprocessing. In both tasks, we used self-collected image databases. We tried several deep learning architectures and approaches. Our Siamese network architecture with a triplet loss function and MobileNetV2 as a base network showed the most impressive results in both above-mentioned tasks. The average accuracy for plant disease detection amounted to over 97.8 % and 97.6 % for moss species classification.
