Recently, deep learning has been a hot research topic in the field of image super-resolution due to the excellent performance of deep convolutional neural networks. Many large-scale models with very deep structures have been proposed. However, in practical applications, the hardware of ordinary personal computers or smart terminals are obviously not suitable for large-scale deep neural network models. A light-weight Network with Automatic Residual Scaling (ARSN) for single image super-resolution was proposed, which has fewer layers and parameters compared with many other deep learning based methods. In addition, the specified residual blocks and skip connections in this network were utilized for residual scaling, global and local residual learning. The results on test datasets show that this model achieves state-of-the-art performance on both reconstruction quality and running speed. The proposed network achieves good results in terms of performance, speed and hardware consumption, and has high practical value.
For the problem that task scheduling program in cloud computing environments usually takes high response time and communication costs, a Honey Bee Behavior inspired Load Balancing (HBB-LB) algorithm was proposed. Firstly, the load was balanced across Virtual Machines (VMs) for maximizing the throughput. Then the priorities of tasks on the machines were balanced. Finally, HBB-LB algorithm was used to improve the overall throughput of processing, and priority based balancing focused on reducing the wait time of tasks on a queue of the VM. The experiments were carried out in cloud computing environments simulated by CloudSim. The experiment results showed that HBB-LB algorithm respectively reduced average response time by 5%, 13%, 17%, 67% and 37% compared with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB), First In First Out (FIFO) and Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithms, and reduced maximum completion time by 20%, 23%, 18%, 55% and 46%. The result indicates that HBB-LB algorithm is suitable for cloud computing system and helpful to balancing non-preemptive independent tasks.
During the post-earthquake transitional phase, there are relief goods recycling and environmental protection problems. In the premise of meeting the basic demand of people in disaster area, the Location-Routing Problem (LRP) model of emergency logistics facilities with forward and reverse directions was built. First, according to the characteristics that the recycled materials could be partially transported, a mathematical model was established in which the objective function was minimum time of emergency system. Second, a two-phase heuristic algorithm was used to solve the model. Finally, the example analyses verified the feasibility of the model and algorithm. The experimental results show that, compared with the traditional one-way LRP model, the objective function value of the proposed method decreases by 51%. The proposed model can effectively improve the efficiency of emergency logistics system operation and provide auxiliary decision support for emergency management department.
The properties of the measured objects in 3D profile using the grating projection are more and more complex, there are a large number of splits in the extracted refinement grating stripes, and the refinement stripe encoding is very difficult. An automatic coding algorithm based on color structure light was proposed. The paper designed a new model of color structure light, introduced its design principle and implemented a new automatic stripe coding algorithm. First, the algorithm extracted the refinement grating stripe with color information from the color structure grating. Then, orderly encoded the refined stripes of each color by judging the best connected domain. Finally, the article got the stripe coding of the total image through combined coding by using the periodicity of grating model. The simulation experiment results show that the model design of color structure light is simple, the automatic coding algorithm of stripe has high accuracy and the error is decreased to 10 percent. The ideal 3D points cloud data model can be reconstructed through the strip coded data.
Since the traditional centralized architecture Web service registry system suffers from such problems as performance bottleneck, single-point-of-failures, a structure Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based Web service registry system was designed and implemented. The registry system consists of six modules including configuration, schedule and distribution, peer-to-peer communication, rank validation, JUDDI, and network resources monitoring. The pastry based system scheduling and communication algorithms were proposed, and the corresponding Web service registration and discovery process was designed. The Web service registration system was tested and analyzed using SoapUI and LoadRunner. The experimental results show that the system can support large-scale accessing and has dynamic scalability. In the multi-concurrent simulation experiments, the response speeds of Web services registration and discovery are increased 1 times.
When Augmented Reality (AR) browser running in the Point of Interest (POI) dense region, there are some problems like data loading slowly, icon sheltered from the others, low positioning accuracy, etc. To solve above problems, this article proposed a new calculation method of the Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinate mapping which introduced the distance factor, improved the calculating way of coordinates based on the angle projection, and made the icon distinguished effectively after the phone posture changed. Secondly, in order to improve the user experience, a POI labels focus display method which is in more accord with human visual habits was proposed. At the same time, aiming at the low positioning accuracy problem of GPS, the distributed mass scene visual recognition technology was adopted to implement high-precision positioning of scenario.
The cluster number is not generally set by K-means clustering algorithm beforehand, and artificial initial clustering number easily leads to the problem of unstable clustering results. A high-efficient algorithm for determining the K-means optimal clustering number was presented. The algorithm got the upper bound of the number of clustering search range through stratified sample data and designed a new kind of effective clustering indicator to evaluate the clustering degree of similarity between and within class after clustering. Thus the optimal number of clusters was obtained in the search range of the clusters number. The simulation results show that the algorithm can obtain the optimal clustering number fast and accurately, and the dataset clustering effect is good.
Considering the complexity and inaccuracy of traditional theoretical modeling for rigid-flexible couple system, the frequency domain subspace method was used to identify the motor's model and piezoelectric ceramic piece's model in the experimental system. Due to the problem of chattering and long reaching time of traditional reaching law, a novel sliding mode control with power reaching law was proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that the reaching time can be shortened and the range of traditional power reaching law's parameter α can be expanded, which will not affect the chattering. Considering the effect of vibration characteristics of flexible beam on system performance, the method of sub-sliding surface was used to design the sliding mode controller. Lastly, experimental results show that the designed controller can track the angle of the center of the rigid body rapidly and suppress the vibration of the flexible beam quickly.
