    摘要: Systems, devices, features, and methods for determining geographic position information from an image are disclosed. For example, one method for determining the geographic position information is used to develop a navigation database. The method comprises capturing a plurality of images of geographic features by a camera mounted on a vehicle or a pedestrian. A single image from the plurality of images is identified or selected. A real-world ground distance between a reference ground point in the single image and a ground point corresponding to an object in the single image is determined based on determined calibration values corresponding to the camera. Real-world geographic position information, such as a latitude coordinate and a longitude coordinate, of the ground point corresponding to the object in the single image is determined based on the determined real-world ground distance.

    摘要: Systems, devices, features, and methods for detecting geographic features in images, such as, for example, to develop a navigation database are disclosed. For example, a method of detecting a path marking from collected images includes collecting a plurality of images of geographic areas along a path. An image of the plurality of images is selected. Components that represent an object on the path in the selected image are determined. In one embodiment, the determined components are independent or invariant to scale of the object. The determined components are compared to reference components in a data library. If the determined components substantially meet a matching threshold with the reference components, the object in the selected image is identified to be a path marking corresponding to the reference components in the data library.

    摘要: A “partial activation” method of magnetostrictive guided wave testing of a structure. A coil-wrapped magnetostrictive strip is acoustically coupled to the surface of the structure. A permanent magnet is placed over a portion of the strip, such that the permanent magnet covers all or most of the width of the strip but only a portion of its length. A pulsed alternating current source activates the magnetostrictive strip, thereby producing magnetostrictive vibrations in the magnetostrictive strip, and thereby resulting in guided waves in the structure. Response signals are received, then the permanent magnet is moved to a next position along the length of the magnetostrictive strip. As the magnet is moved along the strip, the strip is activated and response signals are received, thereby testing a desired portion of the structure under the strip. The response signals are analyzed to determine the presence of anomalies in the structure.

    摘要: A method for synchronizing list-mode data of single events in a PET imaging includes: acquiring list-mode data of single events of each independent detector module, calculating a probability density of time intervals between occurrences of single events in detector module and setting initial parameters, determining detection starting time difference of each detector module with iterative peak searching and graded time window, and performing synchronization correction and coincidence discrimination on the single event data in each detector module based on the detection starting time difference. A system for synchronizing list-mode data of single events in a PET imaging includes: a data acquisition and frequency difference compensation module, an initial parameter setting module, a coarse time scale coincidence module, a fine time scale coincidence module and a data synchronization correction and coincidence discrimination module.
