A computer implemented method of processing two-dimensional physical signals includes five basic components and the associated presentation techniques of the results. The first component decomposes the two-dimensional signal into one-dimensional profiles. The second component is a computer implemented Empirical Mode Decomposition that extracts a collection of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF's) from each profile based on local extrema and/or curvature extrema. The decomposition is based on the direct extraction of the energy associated with various intrinsic time scales in the profiles. In the third component, the IMF's of each profile are then subjected to a Hilbert Transform. The fourth component collates the Hilbert transformed IMF's of the profiles to form a two-dimensional Hilbert Spectrum. A fifth component manipulates the IMF's by, for example, filtering the two-dimensional signal by reconstructing the two-dimensional signal from selected IMF(s).

A computer implemented physical signal analysis method includes four basic steps and the associated presentation techniques of the results. The first step is a computer implemented Empirical Mode Decomposition that extracts a collection of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) from nonlinear, nonstationary physical signals. The decomposition is based on the direct extraction of the energy associated with various intrinsic time scales in the physical signal. Expressed in the IMF's, they have well-behaved Hilbert Transforms from which instantaneous frequencies can be calculated. The second step is the Hilbert Transform which produces a Hilbert Spectrum. Thus, the invention can localize any event on the time as well as the frequency axis. The decomposition can also be viewed as an expansion of the data in terms of the IMF's. Then, these IMF's, based on and derived from the data, can serve as the basis of that expansion. The local energy and the instantaneous frequency derived from the IMF's through the Hilbert transform give a full energy-frequency-time distribution of the data which is designated as the Hilbert Spectrum. The third step filters the physical signal by combining a subset of the IMFs. In the fourth step, a curve may be fitted to the filtered signal which may not have been possible with the original, unfiltered signal.

The invention relates to a robust target tracking method based on deep learning and multi-scale correlation filtering. The tracking process is divided into a target location part and a scale selection part. In the target location part, the position of a target is located through a convolutional neural network and correlation filtering. In the scale selection part, a scale pyramid is used, and different scales are selected in a matching manner for targets through scale filtering. The multilayer characteristic of the convolutional neural network is taken as a representation model of targets, so the structural and semantic information of targets can be described robustly. Through use of the characteristics of correlation filtering, there is no need to train a classifier online, and the running speed of the algorithm is increased greatly. The idea of scale pyramid is adopted in scale, and correlation filtering matching is performed on targets of different scales to select the optimal scale. The method is of strong robustness to deformation, shading and scale change of targets.

Map displays have been an important element in the feature set of in-car navigation systems. Actually, with modem equipment extending such system functionality to personal digital assistants (PDAs) and cellular telephones, virtually all travelers may use and benefit from the present invention. Early digital displays were monochrome, single-line-vector, planar representations. Color, area fill, scale-dependent attribute selection, labeling, heading-up rotation, line thickness, signs and icons have all been added to make the display more informative and intuitive. Still today, the designer is challenged to provide a more informative, less distracting display to serve the multitasking driver. More recently, perspective view and 3D objects have gained popularity because of their added utility as well as aesthetic appeal. Just as the planar map is a special case of the perspective map, perspective is a special case of the variable-scale map. This disclosure offers some approaches to the use of non-perspective continuous variable-scale maps to solve inherent problems of more conventional navigation map displays.

The invention discloses a self-adaptive feature fusion-based multi-scale correlation filtering visual tracking method. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, the correlation filtering is carried out on a target HOG feature and a target color feature respectively by using a context-aware correlation filtering framework; the response values under the two features are normalized; weightsare distributed according to the proportion of the response values and then are subjected to linear weighted fusion, so that a final response graph after fusion is obtained; the final response graph is compared with a pre-defined response threshold value to judge whether the filtering model is updated or not; finally, a scale correlation filter is introduced in the tracking process, so that the scale adaptability of the algorithm is improved. The method can be used for tracking various features. The performance advantages of the features are brought into play, and a model self-adaptive updating method is designed. In addition, a precise scale estimation mechanism is further introduced. According to the invention, the updating quality and the tracking precision of the model can be effectively improved, and the model can be changed in scale. The method is good in robustness under complex scenes such as rapid movement, deformation, shielding and the like.

The invention relates to a long-time sheltering robust tracking method based on convolutional features and global search detection. Through adopting a convolutional feature and multi-scale relative filtering method in a tracking module, the feature representation capacity of a tracking object appearance model is enhanced, so that a tracking result is very robust to factors such as illumination variation, object scale variation and object rotation. In addition, through the introduced global search detection mechanism, a detection module can detect the object again when the tracking fails because the object is sheltered for a long time, thus the tracking module can recover from error, and the object can be continuously tracked for a long time even in the case of object appearance changes.

A vector-based graphics drawing may be resized such that certain scale-dependent parameters are scaled proportionately, while other scale-independent parameters are not scaled. The result of such resizing is a scaled rendering of the vector-based graphics drawing that closely resemble hand drawn images created using natural media materials.

A non-invasive method and device for determining the electrical impedance of an electrochemical system for electric power is disclosed. The voltage and current are measured at terminals as a function of time, and these measurements are converted to signals dependent on frequency. The signals dependent on frequency are subjected to at least one segmentation. For each segment, a power spectral density of the current signal Ψ_I dependent on frequency and the cross power spectral density of the voltage and current signals Ψ_IV dependent on frequency are determined for each segment. The electrical impedance of the electrochemical system is determined by calculating a ratio dependent on frequency of a mean of the power spectral densities Ψ_I dependent on frequency to a mean of the cross power spectral densities Ψ_IV dependent on frequency.
