To solve the problems of too long time of pathfinding and collision and blocking during movement in real-time strategy games, a combined improved flow field pathfinding algorithm was proposed. Firstly, the red-black tree was used to store data to improve the speed of data access. Secondly, by using the penalty function, the calculation of the integration field cost was simplified through transforming the nonlinear partial differential equation problem into a linear unconstrained problem. Finally, a pre-adjacency node was introduced to generate the flow direction. Compared with the flow field pathfinding algorithm without improvement, the improved algorithm has the path calculation time reduced by 20%, and the average moving time is stable at 20 s. Experimental results show that the improved flow field pathfinding algorithm can effectively shorten the pathfinding time, increase the moving speed of Agents and improve the level of game artificial intelligence in real-time strategy games.
In Dynamically Tuned Gyroscope (DTG) system, traditional identification methods, including least square identification method and traditional frequency domain identification method, could not achieve acceptable identification fitness degree. To deal with this problem, outlier-eliminated frequency identification method was proposed. In consideration of the characteristics of DTG model structure and intrinsic colored noise, outlier-eliminated method was applied to DTG frequency domain identification. The experimental results indicate that outlier-eliminated frequency identification method, with a fitness degree above 90%, compared with both least square identification method and traditional frequency domain identification method, has a better performance. In addition, outlier-eliminated frequency identification method possesses of good repeatability and stability. Outlier-eliminated frequency identification method could improve the identification fitness degree of DTG system.
IntraVascular UltraSound (IVUS) imaging can provide information of the coronary atherosclerotic plaque. It allows the doctor to make comprehensive and accurate evaluation of diseased vessel. Some ultrasound data collecting devices for imaging system exhibited insufficient data transfer speed, high cost or inflexibility, so the authors presented a high speed data transfer and imaging method for intravascular ultrasound. After being collected and processed, ultrasound data was transferred to computer through USB3.0 interface. In addition, logarithmic compression and digital coordinate conversion were applied in computer before imaging. Data transmission experiment shows that the transfer speed always stays around 2040Mb/s. Finally, phantom imaging was conducted to demonstrate the performance of the system. It shows a clear pipe wall and a smooth luminal border.
