In this paper, we investigate and propose a new transmission scheme for integrated satellite-terrestrial relay network, where a terrestrial relay equipped with multiple antennas either keeps silent or forwards message to the terrestrial user according to amplify-and-forward (AF) protocol based on the quality of the channel between the satellite and the user. By utilizing the maximal ratio combining (MRC) and maximal ratio transmission (MRT), we derive a closed-form expression for the exact outage probability (OP) of the system. Finally, numerical simulation results are provided to validate the theoretical performance analysis and reveal the impacts of the channel parameters and SNR threshold on the considered system performance.

Heralded noiseless amplification is beneficial in overcoming transmission photon loss in a noisy quantum channel. We propose a single-photon-assisted heralded noiseless amplification protocol of the single- photon entanglement (SPE), where the single-photon qubit has an arbitrary unknown polarization feature. We focus on both the complete and partial photon loss during the transmission process. After the amplification, the parties can recover the pure less-entangled SPE into a maximally entangled SPE and increase its fidelity. Moreover, the polarization feature of the single-photon qubit will be well preserved and not be leaked. Our protocol can be realized under our current experimental condition. Based on the features above, our protocol may be useful in the quantum secure communication schemes that encode information in the polarization degree of freedom of photons.

Fine-grained recognition is still a difficult task in pattern recognition applications due to the challenge of accurate localization of discriminative parts. Recent CNN-based methods generally utilize attention mechanism to produce attention masks without part labels/annotations and extract corresponding image parts from them. However, these methods extract the attention parts by using fixed-size rectangles to crop images regardless of the size of objects to be recognized, which will hinder the feature expression of the following Part-CNNs. In this paper, we propose an adaptive cropping module based on the information of attention masks to adjust size of cropping rectangles. The training process of adaptive cropping module and Part-CNNscan reinforce each other with the proposed rank loss and the classic softmax loss. To further balance and fuse all attention parts, we propose a part weighting module to evaluate part contributions. Under the optimization of sort loss, the part weighting module will produce part weights in the same order as prediction scores learned by attention parts. The backbone of our network is MA-CNN. Different from MA-CNN, the new proposed adaptive cropping module and part weighting module can jointly guide the framework to produce a more discriminative fine-grained feature. Experiments show that the AMA-CNN outperforms MA-CNN by 1.1% on CUB200-2011 bird dataset.

The atomic norm minimization (ANM) has been successfully incorporated into the two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation problem for super-resolution. However, its computational workload might be unaffordable when the number of snapshots is large. In this paper, we propose two gridless methods for 2-D DOA estimation with L-shaped array based on the atomic norm to improve the computational efficiency. Firstly, by exploiting the cross-covariance matrix an ANM-based model has been proposed. We then prove that this model can be efficiently solved as a semi-definite programming (SDP). Secondly, a modified model has been presented to improve the estimation accuracy. It is shown that our proposed methods can be applied to both uniform and sparse L-shaped arrays and do not require any knowledge of the number of sources. Furthermore, since our methods greatly reduce the model size as compared to the conventional ANM method, and thus are much more efficient. Simulations results are provided to demonstrate the advantage of our methods.

Real-time hand tracking is fundamental to human gesture recognition. However, due to the huge computation, previous studies are either off-line or limited to given poses. In order to satisfy the requirement of real-time hand tracking, in this paper we propose a real time hand tracking method using Kinect. Firstly we extract the hand region from the depth image output from Kinect. Then we achieve the hand parameters. During the procedure of hand region extraction, we propose a cascade structure with recursive connected component algorithm to improve the efficiency and reserve connection relationships in 3D space. To determine the fingertips, we use the former 3D connections and geodesic distance over hand skeleton pixels to guarantee the accuracy and robustness, with acceptable loss. Experimental results show that our proposed solution can significantly improve the quality of real-time hand tracking.

Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) [1-7] allows two remote parties (Alice and Bob) to share a secret key,even in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve) with unlimited computational power [8-17].While,a highly efficient reconciliation protocol [18-21] is crucial in a CVQKD system,which can not only extract the errorless secret keys,but also provide a promising way to achieve a long distance CVQKD at a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).There are some practical reconciliation protocols [18-21] for CVQKD systems,such as,sliced reconciliation protocol (SEC) [18],sign reconciliation protocol [19],and multidimensional reconciliation protocol (MR) [21].Compared with the others,MR utilized the algebraic properties of a multidimensional method,which did not require quantization or any other post-selection technique.

The fifth generation (5G) wirelesscommunication is currently a hot research topic and wirelesscommunication systems on high speed railways (HSR) are important applications of 5G technologies. Existing stud- ies about 5G wireless systems on high speed railways (HSR) often utilize ideal channel parameters and are usually based on simple scenarios. In this paper, we evaluate the down- link throughput of 5G HSR communication systems on three typical scenarios including urban, cutting and viaduct with three different channel estimators. The channel parameters of each scenario are generated with tapped delay line (TDL) models through ray-tracing sim- ulations, which can be considered as a good match to practical situations. The channel estimators including least square (LS), linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE), and our proposed historical information based ba- sis expansion model (HiBEM). We analyze the performance of the HiBEM estimator in terms of mean square error (MSE) and evaluate the system throughputs with different channel estimates over each scenario. Simulation results are then provided to corroborate our proposed studies. It is shown that our HiBEM estimator outperforms other estimators and that the sys-tem throughput can reach the highest point in the viaduct scenario.
