Nevertheless, these techniques require refinement to handle significant variations in the target’s appearance, including deformation, occlusion, and small size, more effectively. Therefore, we propose the SiamTU (SiameGAT with Template Updating) tracker, which includes band selection, an improved graph attention based Siamese model, and an adaptive template update mechanism, using public hyperspectral videos. Initially, a band selection technique employing the neighborhood group normalized filter is utilized to obtain three high-significance bands. The resultant synthesized image is then used as the input for the tracker. Following this, a module for efficient feature refinement is developed to improve the features that have been encoded. The model has the ability to simultaneously concentrate on both local details and overall structures by extracting features from the input at various scales. Moreover, an embedded template update network enhances the SiamTU’s capability referring to appearance changes effectively. Results from tests on the hyperspectral dataset reveal that SiamTU is more effective than comparable algorithms, attaining a success rate of 0.617 and a precision value of 0.939.

In this work, we demonstrated a potential approach for multi-wavelength EDFL generation based on a parallel filter and the PHB effect. The parallel filter comprises two in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) namely (MZI-1 and MZI-2) which are parallel connected between two 3-dB optical fiber couplers (OCs). Here, MZI-1 consists of a segment of non-linear photonic crystal fiber (NLPCF) fused spliced between two single mode fibers (SMFs). MZI-2 was realized by the core-offset fusion splicing of a piece of an NLPCF between two SMFs. The core offset technique in NLPCF splicing enabled the manipulation of the optical path difference between the two arms of the parallel filter. The two MZIs configured as parallel filters were initially utilized as transmission spectrum filters to simultaneously generate dual-wavelength EDFL at 1530.4 and 1525.6 nm. Then, the proposed parallel filter, when combined with polarization controllers (PCs), produces the PHB effect, which reduces mode competition and allows for spacing adjustment and switchable multi-wavelength operation. The free spectral range (FSR) of the parallel filter can be altered among single, dual, triple, and quadruple wavelengths by adjusting the PC1 incorporated within the ring cavity. The spacing adjustable wavelength operation can subsequently be modified from 1.2 to 5 nm by altering the FSR of MZI-2, which was accomplished by adjusting PC2 embedded in the MZI-2 arm. The results indicate that the proposed parallel filter offers a potential candidate for stable, switchable, and controllable generation of multi-wavelength EDFL.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13549,"journal":{"name":"Infrared Physics & Technology","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 105814"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143631790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using thermocouples and a multi-spectral camera, we experimentally validate our radiometric model for the cavity. We first show how to evaluate the amplification factor of a cavity using numerical tools, and we then use these results to apply corrections on the camera signals for in-band radiance (IBR) measurements. As a non-invasive and non-destructive technique, this approach can be used to monitor in real time the evolution of the temperature and emissivity over a large temperature range. As a specific example, we present and compare values measured by the camera and thermocouples inside the combustion chamber.
