This study focuses on gas injection mass fluctuation in high-pressure hydrogen coupling direct injection technology for jet ignition, conducting research to optimize injection process stability. Investigating the fluctuation mechanism reveals that diesel pressure fluctuation induced by pilot injection is the fundamental cause for circulating gas injection mass fluctuation. It is found that the free diesel pressure oscillation within the fuel system and gas injection mass fluctuation at varying injection interval time both exhibit an under-damped oscillation pattern. In view of this, the research addresses stability optimization for gas injection mass from two aspects. On the one hand, the mechanism of the Helmholtz filter to reduce pressure fluctuation is explored in system structural aspect, and designed the structural parameters based on its resonant angular frequency. Then, the influence from different volumes on pressure fluctuation within the low-impedance region is analyzed. Through experimental verification, it is known that this method can reduce gas injection mass fluctuation, but it will decrease the total gas injection mass. On the other hand, an energizing time correction algorithm based on predictive model is proposed. By fitting and optimizing the each parameter sub-algorithms, the final corrected injection pulse width is obtained by combining the each parameter sub-algorithms. The results show that the Helmholtz filter can achieve a maximum reduction in gas injection mass fluctuation reaching 69.82 %. But compared with the original system, the total gas injection mass is reduced by about 7.4 %. The correction model can reduce the gas injection mass fluctuation reach up to 83.92 % and do not affect the total gas injection mass. The results can provide a theoretical basis for the advanced engine fuel injection process closed-loop control, and the experimental data can provide a reference for a dual-fuel injection system.

A correction algorithm based on analyzing the steam condensation locations is proposed to address the problem of large errors when calculating the heat transfer of the air-cooling condenser (ACC) in Fluent. By building a detailed geometric model of the ACC and using radiator boundary conditions to simplify the heat-sinking tube bundle, Fluent software was used to calculate the heat transfer of the ACC under four winter operating conditions, and then, the calculation results were further corrected by applying the correction algorithm. The results show that after using the correction algorithm, the errors between calculation results and experiment data are reduced from 4.20 similar to 36.98% to 0.01 similar to 1.79%. When the electric load of the air-cooling generator set or the ambient temperature was low, the condensation velocity increased, for which there would be a local steam-free area in the heat-sinking tube bundle of the ACC, leading to large errors when using the radiator model. At this point, the correction algorithm based on the analysis of steam condensation position can serve to improve the degree of accuracy. Meanwhile, this correction algorithm can be further expanded to use in the simulating calculation of an indirect air-cooling generator set, and it is able to correct the heat transfer calculation result of the air-cooling tower by analyzing the heat transfer condition of circulating water in the heat-sinking tube bundle, so that reliable data can be provided to guide the anti-freezing of the indirect air-cooling generator set.

Scattering of X-ray photons in the environment causes artefacts in high-energy X-ray computed tomography (CT). Here, an analytical correction formula applied to transmission images is presented and experimentally validated on data from a 450 kV cone-beam CT-system. This method increases the contrast of CT-images from a large aluminium step cylinder by a factor exceeding 2.5. For complex objects, the procedure reduces the variance of the attenuation values for the material given an optimal correction parameter. For the considered source parameters, this correction parameter could be derived from the measurement data by a simple procedure with a correlation coefficient of 0.996 +/- 0.005.

The Digital X-ray Scanner System (DX-Scanner) using the Multichannel Ionization Chamber (MIC) has many advantages. On the other hand, the scanned medical image has distorted pixels because of unsuitable integration time at the nonlinear acceleration period and vibration of the AC servo motor during scanning a patient in the system. This paper proposes a correction algorithm based on fuzzy modeling. The proposed correction algorithm can correct the distorted medical image during scanning. Fuzzy modeling uses a clustering method for the nonlinear motor velocity in the algorithm. The algorithm reconstructs the normal medical image lines by calculating the moving distance every integration time during acceleration period of AC servo motor. The algorithm analyzes by comparing the distance of the acceleration period with the distance of the uniform velocity period in every integration time. The velocity for the acceleration period is able to be compensated via this algorithm. In addition, several image processing procedures are also included in the algorithm. When the proposed correction algorithm is applied to the test pattern for checking the image resolution, its effectiveness is verified at scanning of 3.5 cm/sec, 7 cm/sec, and 14 cm/sec. The corrected image is a better image.

In this paper, we present a simple and effective scene-based nonuniformity correction (NUC) method for infrared focal plane arrays based on interframe registration. This method estimates the global translation between two adjacent frames and minimizes the mean square error between the two properly registered images to make any two detectors with the same scene produce the same output value. In this way, the accumulation of the registration error can be avoided and the NUC can be achieved. The advantages of the proposed algorithm lie in its low computational complexity and storage requirements and ability to capture temporal drifts in the nonuniformity parameters. The performance of the proposed technique is thoroughly studied with infrared image sequences with simulated nonuniformity and infrared imagery with real nonuniformity. It shows a significantly fast and reliable fixed-pattern noise reduction and obtains an effective frame-by-frame adaptive estimation of each detector's gain and offset.

Remote detection of seagrass has been limited because of numerous factors including the influence of the water column, which interferes with reflected signals from the seafloor. In a previously published study, a water-depth correction algorithm was developed to improve the detection of underwater vegetation spectral signals. The algorithm successfully corrected laboratory-measured submerged vegetation spectra for water effects, but the water absorption coefficients, derived from the data collected over a white surface, tended to underestimate the actual water absorption when applied to hyperspectral image data. The experimental conditions were modified to reduce the errors associated with the effects of enhanced multi-path scattering, to improve the algorithm using the new empirical data and to apply the algorithm to an airborne hyperspectral image data obtained over Halodule wrightii seagrass beds at Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Mississippi, USA. The water absorption and scattering factors (A(w) and R-w) for a water depth of 40 cm (the local water thickness above the seagrass canopy measured in the field) were applied to the image data to obtain the reflectance that is attributed to the water bottom surface including bare sand and seagrass beds. The contrast between the dark Halodule patches and the bright sand increased in the bands between 500 and 800 nm after the correction. The correction algorithm also increased the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) values for the seagrass pixels by restoring the upwelling signal in the near-infrared.

The pulsed wire technique is an attractive option for the measurement of undulators where the measurement access is restricted due to, for example, narrow undulator gaps or cryogenic environments in the case of superconducting undulators. Using the pulsed wire technique, direct measurements of the first and second integrals of the magnetic field can be obtained. However, one of the main limitations of this technique is the error introduced by dispersive wave motion, due to the finite flexural rigidity of the wire. For the measurement of the first integral of the magnetic field, an error is also introduced by the use of a current pulse with finite pulse width. In this paper, a general solution is presented for dispersive wave motion in pulsed wire measurements. A method for the measurement of the dispersive wave speed is presented and demonstrated through experimental examples. An algorithm is derived which corrects the dispersion and finite pulse-width errors in the measurement of first magnetic field integrals and the dispersion error in the measurement of second magnetic field integrals. The effectiveness of the correction algorithms is demonstrated through experimental measurements, and the results are compared with Hall probe measurements on a short undulator.

A drop counter catching-type gauge and a tipping-bucket rain intensity gauge are compared in this paper in order to investigate the performance of suitable correction algorithms. Comparison in the field is performed at the resolution of 1 min by assuming the drop counter as a working reference at low to medium rainfall rates. The observed deviations are mainly the result of sampling errors due to the low resolution (0.5 mm) of the tipping-bucket. Two correction algorithms for this gauge are compared based on the knowledge of the time of tipping: since this is not actually available for the instrument in hand, numerical simulation is performed using information from the drop counter at the resolution of 10 s. The first correction is obtained by distributing the tip volume over the inter-tip periods. The second algorithm further applies a "smoothing" procedure that redistributes the volume of initial, isolated and final types of tips according to climatology. Relative deviations of the one-minute rainfall intensity figures are used to assess improvements in the observed measurement performance. Sensitivity of the results upon varying the sampling resolution of a virtual tipping-bucket rain gauge is also investigated using numerical simulation. It is concluded that the knowledge of the time of tipping is essential to improve the performance of the tipping-bucket rain gauge. Distributing the tip volume over the inter-tip period is indeed sufficient to considerably improve the measurement accuracy, especially at low to medium intensities and a fine sampling resolution. The influence of the correction at high rainfall intensity increases with decreasing sampling resolution. Although the proposed smoothing algorithm provides further improvements at low intensities for gauges characterized by coarse sampling resolution, where the first algorithm is less effective, the results are still affected by a significant spread of deviation.

Near-field signal-redundancy (NFSR) algorithms for phase-aberration correction have been proposed and experimentally tested for linear and phased one-dimensional arrays. In this paper the performance of an all-row-plus-two-column, two-dimensional algorithm has been analyzed and tested with simulated data sets. This algorithm applies the NFSR algorithm for one-dimensional arrays to all the rows as well as the first and last columns of the array. The results from the two column measurements are used to derive a linear term for each row measurement result. These linear terms then are incorporated into the row results to obtain a two-dimensional phase aberration profile. The ambiguity phase aberration profile, which is the difference between the true and the derived phase aberration profiles, of this algorithm is not linear. Two methods, a trial-and-error method and a diagonal-measurement method, are proposed to linearize the ambiguity profile. The performance of these algorithms is analyzed and tested with simulated data sets.

The mobility of accelerator-based neutron sources has laid the foundation for the miniaturization of neutron radiography facilities in response to the increasing industrial requirements. Compared to traditional reactors and spallation neutron sources, miniaturized neutron radiography facilities based on accelerator neutron sources face challenges in achieving a sufficiently high collimation ratio. It leads to a pronounced level of geometric unsharpness on neutron radiographs, which arises from a finite source size and beam divergence. The presence of blurriness in radiographs significantly impairs the ability to accurately visualize the internal structures of the test objects, thus hindering observation. An algorithm combining adaptive fusion with total variation was proposed to correct the geometric unsharpness for neutron radiographs in this paper. In contrast to most traditional restoration algorithms that relied on regularization terms or filters, our proposed method offered both initial restoration and further restoration. The initial restoration procedure involved the utilization of the Richardson- Lucy algorithm coupled with the l 0 smoothing method. This adaptive fusion technique was employed to enhance the sharpness of edges and denoise the neutron radiographs. Finally, the result of the adaptive fusion was embedded into a deblurring model based on total variation to further preserve the edges and restore more details during further restoration. In the experiments, it was demonstrated that our correction algorithm effectively preserved the prominent edges and the details in both the simulated and real neutron radiographs of thin and thick objects, exhibiting fewer ringing effects than traditional algorithms. It is worth mentioning that our work is primarily applicable and significant to neutron generators, but not for reactors or spallation neutron sources that can deliver much better images.
