However, due to the challenging conditions of the space environment, these images often suffer from blurring and distortion, which hampers the effectiveness of spacecraft observation and measurement missions. Although recent progress has been made in super-resolution reconstruction techniques, the limited processing capacity of on-board equipment prevents the direct deployment of these high-complexity methods. In this paper, we propose an efficient and lightweight super-resolution reconstruction algorithm called the Pyramid Frequency-Aware Network for space target observation images. Specifically, we use a divide-and-conquer strategy to separately process low-frequency and high-frequency features, ensuring high-quality feature extraction while reducing the number of parameters. To further improve the model’s ability to capture edge and detailed texture information, we introduce a pyramidal wavelet decomposition and a multi-scale large separable kernel attention model. For high-frequency information, we design an enhanced fusion convolution block that facilitates multi-scale feature extraction and channel mixing. Furthermore, we have established a dataset of space target observation images, which can serve as a valuable reference for future studies on the reconstruction of such images. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our Pyramid Frequency-Aware Network achieves an excellent balance between peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity index, number of parameters, flops, and running time, both on public standard datasets and our self-built space target observation image dataset. Additionally, the network is lightweight enough to be deployed on resource-constrained equipment, such as satellites.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 116242"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important design feature of the developed standard lies in the usage of aluminium diaphragms, allowing short rise times and high frequency content. The standard is based on two reference sensors, calibrated statically and dynamically. The reference sensors showed a linear dynamic response in the intermediate frequency range and was in good agreement with the static calibration results. Therefore, extrapolation of shock tube results was implemented.

It enables managers to keep track of production status, make timely decisions, and ensure on-time delivery of orders. However, dynamic production environments, characterized by constantly changing order quantities and relationships, as well as the special temporal features of the production process, pose challenges to existing prediction methods. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel framework based on multi-target regression. First, production data are collected and standardized from various sources using multiple data transfer protocols. The input dataset is then constructed and dynamically adjusted to accommodate changes in order quantities and priorities. Finally, a prediction model named DMTR-LSA is developed to effectively handle the specific temporal relationships in the production data by integrating long short-term memory (LSTM) and self-attention mechanisms. A case study in a real production workshop demonstrates that the proposed method supports simultaneous prediction of multiple orders. It outperforms existing methods on several evaluation metrics, reducing the average prediction error by more than 8.9%. These results highlight the practical value of the proposed method for predicting MORCT in dynamic production environments and its potential impact to enhance the production decision-making process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 116231"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A major challenge in that regard is to incorporate inherent inter-channel dependencies within the DFA analysis. We propose a novel method to address that challenge through Mahalanobis distance (MD) norm that provides an analytical way to incorporate covariance matrix within the computation of the proposed multichannel fluctuation function. Through analytical analysis and experimental results, we show that incorporation of cross-channel correlations within the fluctuation function makes the rendered long-range correlation analysis more accurate for the multivariate correlated data. Next, we next demonstrate the utility of the proposed generic multichannel DFA (GMDFA) within the multivariate signal denoising problem(s). To this end, our denoising approach first obtains data driven multiscale signal representation by multi-stage use of multivariate variational mode decomposition (MVMD) method.

Experimental results demonstrated that the sensitivities of sensor 1 to temperature and pH are higher than that of sensor 2.

Moreover, both sensors demonstrate good stability and reversibility when the temperature and pH are varied. Furthermore, the pH response times of the two sensors are less than 0.5 s, with a recovery time of 2 s.

A repetition survey assistant system is first developed by adding multiple sensors to the circular prism, which realizes remote automatic orientation adjustment through LoRa technology from the station point. Then repetition survey is accomplished automatically with a robotic total station. Experiments show that the differences in horizontal and vertical angle readings under different directions of the 360° prism can be up to 11″ and 6.8″, and its angular misclosure is easy to exceed the limit, which verifies the necessity of the developed remote-controlled prism. Actual repetition survey project shows that remote-controlled prisms assisted method can achieve submillimeter-level precision, which is comparable to classical one with total station only.
