However, the design of optical systems with off-the-shelf optics is a time-consuming task for experienced optical designers and hopeless for novice designers. In this paper, we propose an automatic optical design tool to generate optical systems using only off-the-shelf optical components without human assistance. Our solution is based on an evolution strategy (ES) that performs a discrete combinatorial optimization following optical design-based methodologies that satisfy user-defined specifications. Unlike the conventional methods, the algorithm decreases the design process time and provides optical designers with several optical solutions from where to choose and adapt for targeted applications. In this work, the ES is described and tested with front stop optical configurations. We demonstrate the broad solution domain of the algorithm through the generation of optical systems with F-numbers within a range F/1 to F/90 and field of views up to 300 mm at the image plane. To analyze the solution domain and the characteristics of the solution, we used the design specifications of 29 commercially available scan lenses and compared the performance of different ES parameters. The compatibility of our algorithm with (standard) commercially available optical design software unlocks automatic design tools for off-the-shelf optical systems.","PeriodicalId":44008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics-Photonics","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138691303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cylindrical surface is superhydrophobic when the contact angle is more than 150°, and the circular surface is hydrophilic when the contact angle is less than 90°. The difference in condensation heat transfer characteristics between superhydrophobic and hydrophilic microstructures was analyzed, and a visual condensation experimental platform was built. Experimental research showed that: At the same flow rate, the heat transfer coefficient of the superhydrophobic surface and the hydrophilic surface decreases significantly with the increase of the surface subcooling degree, but the heat transfer coefficient of the cylindrical surface is still much larger than that of the circular surface. In addition, the heat transfer performance of the hydrophobic microstructure surface is better than that of the hydrophilic surface at medium and high-speed cooling water flow rates. Although the surface microstructures are similar in shape, the heat transfer performance of cylindrical microstructures is much better than that of circular microstructures under the same conditions, and the heat flux of cylindrical microstructures is 2.2 times that of circular microstructures.","PeriodicalId":44008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics-Photonics","volume":"30 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135764053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This issue becomes more prominent for small objects. Moreover, the alignment of sparse target features with the corresponding object features in the camera image during the fusion process is inaccurate, leading to low segmentation accuracy for small objects. Therefore, we propose an attention-based multimodal feature alignment and fusion network module. This module aggregates features in spatial directions and generates attention matrices. Through this transformation, the module could capture remote dependencies of features in one spatial direction. This helps our network precisely locate objects and establish relationships between similar features. It enables the adaptive alignment of sparse target features with the corresponding object features in the camera image, resulting in a better fusion of the two modalities. We validate our method on the nuScenes-lidar seg dataset. Our CAFNet achieves an improvement in segmentation accuracy for small objects with fewer points compared to the baseline network, such as bicycles (6% improvement), pedestrians (2.1% improvement), and traffic cones (0.9% improvement).","PeriodicalId":44008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics-Photonics","volume":"92 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135716780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
