基于FAST和SURF的遥感图像自动配准方法

提出了基于加速分割检测特征(features from accelerated segment test,FAST)和加速鲁棒性特征(speeded - up robust features,SURF)的遥感图像自动配准方法.首先对参考图像与待配准图像进行HSI变换和高斯金字塔建立;然后检测并提取FAST角点,计算各角点的SURF描述子,用K-D树匹配搜索策略得到2幅图像的匹配点对;再使用最小二乘迭代法剔除错误匹配点并拟合几何变换系数;最后执行几何变换,得到配准后的图像.将该方法分别与基于SURF自动配准方法和ENVI软件中自动获取配准点的方法进行对比实验,结果表明,利用该方法能够获得更多的匹配点对,具有更高的几何配准精度,但在尺度不变性方面略逊于SURF算法.

多普勒天气雷达冰雹探测算法评估及检验改进

利用新一代多普勒天气雷达资料和WSR-88D提供的冰雹指数算法,对2005年1月至2007年8月发生在贵州省黔西南地区的20个冰雹个例进行验证。用此算法对20个风暴日的样本计算了WT（警报阈值）、H（相对雷达的高度）、M（漏报率）、FA（虚警率）、POD／FAR／CSI（探测概率／误报率／临界成功指数）等多个函数,并将这些数据与强冰雹指数（SHI）作对比分析,将SHI作为冰雹尺寸的预报因子进行独立评估,对实际观测到的冰雹尺寸与模式预报尺寸进行比较。在考虑了本地环境、气候特征的前提下对误警率较高的情况进行了算法补尝,并针对误警率较高的现象提出解决办法：①输入当天的正确0℃／-20℃高度,②提高冰雹探测反射率阈值。用改进方法对2007年发生的9次冰雹天气过程进行对比检验。结果表明,误报率有所降低,预报冰雹尺寸更接近实际探测尺寸。

The Development of a Nonhydrostatic Global Spectral Model

With the development of numerical weather prediction technology,the traditional global hydrostatic models used in many countries of the world for operational weather forecasting and numerical simulations of general circulation have become more and more unfit for high-impact weather prediction.To address this,it is important to invest in the development of global nonhydrostatic models.Few existing nonhydrostatic global models use consistently the grid finite difference scheme for the primitive equations of dynamical cores,which can subsequently degrade the accuracy of the calculations.A new nonhydrostatic global spectral model,which utilizes the Eulerian spectral method,is developed here from NCAR Community Atmosphere Model 3.0(CAM3.0).Using Janjic's hydrostatic/nonhydrostatic method,a global nonhydrostatic spectral method for the primitive equations has been formulated and developed.In order to retain the integrity of the nonhydrostatic equations,the atmospheric curvature correction and eccentricity correction are considered. In this paper,the Held-Suarez idealized test and an idealized baroclinic wave test are first carried out,which shows that the nonhydrostatic global spectral model has similar climate states to the results of many other global models for long-term idealized integration,as well as better simulation ability for short-term idealized integration.Then,a real case experiment is conducted using the new dynamical core with the full physical parameterizations of subgrid-scale physical processes.The 10-day numerical integration indicates a decrease in systematic error and a better simulation of zonal wind,temperature,and 500-hPa height.     

湿热力平流参数在一次华北暴雨模拟诊断中的应用研究

对2011年7月24~25日发生在华北地区的一次暴雨过程进行了分析,并以NCEP资料为初值场对此次暴雨过程进行了数值模拟,结合实况对模拟结果进行对比分析。分析表明:模式对本次华北暴雨的模拟比较成功,基本反映出了本次暴雨过程的降水分布特点。利用湿热力平流参数对本次华北地区的降水落区进行了诊断分析。分析指出,湿热力平流参数纬向平均的垂直剖面图上,湿热力平流参数的高值区及大值中心与地面的强降水雨区对应得较好,其梯度大小及向上延伸高度均可以定性地指示降水的强弱;垂直积分的湿热力平流参数与地面6 h强降水落区具有较好的对应关系,而在示踪弱降水区时效果并不是很好,其大值中心并不与强降水中心完全重叠,而是其梯度大值区与降水中心相对应;垂直积分的湿热力平流参数与6 h累积地面降水的空间分布特征和时间演变趋势比较相似,并且其变化趋势能反映降水的发展和消弱。     

CHARACTERISTICS OF MEI-YU PRECIPITATION AND SVD ANALYSIS OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE YANGTZE-HUAIHE RIVERS VALLEYS AND THE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN THE NORTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN

Based on the precipitation data of Meiyu at 37 stations in the valleys of Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers from 1954 to 2001, the temporal-spatial characteristics of Meiyu precipitation and their relationships with the sea surface temperature in northern Pacific are investigated using such methods as harmonic analysis, empirical orthogonal function (EOF), composite analysis and singular value decomposition (SVD). The results show that the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of Meiyu precipitation are not homogeneous in the Yangtze-Huaihe Rivers basins but with prominent inter-annual and inter-decadal variabilities. The key region between the anomalies of Meiyu precipitation and the monthly sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) lies in the west wind drift of North Pacific, which influences the precipitation anomaly of Meiyu precipitation over a key period of time from January to March in the same year. When the SST in the North Pacific west wind drift is warmer (colder) than average during these months, Meiyu precipitation anomalously increases (decreases) in the concurrent year. Results of SVD are consistent with those of composite analysis which pass the significance test of Monte-Carlo at 0.05.     

Prediction of pile settlement using artificial neural networks based on standard penetration test data

In recent years artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to many geotechnical engineering problems with some degree of success. With respect to the design of pile foundations, accurate prediction of pile settlement is necessary to ensure appropriate structural and serviceability performance. In this paper, an ANN model is developed for predicting pile settlement based on standard penetration test (SPT) data. Approximately 1000 data sets, obtained from the published literature, are used to develop the ANN model. In addition, the paper discusses the choice of input and internal network parameters which were examined to obtain the optimum model. Finally, the paper compares the predictions obtained by the ANN with those given by a number of traditional methods. It is demonstrated that the ANN model outperforms the traditional methods and provides accurate pile settlement predictions.
