Spatial temporal Fourier single-pixel imaging.

Generally, the imaging quality of Fourier single-pixel imaging (FSI) will severely degrade while achieving high-speed imaging at a low sampling rate (SR). To tackle this problem, a new, to the best of our knowledge, imaging technique is proposed: firstly, the Hessian-based norm constraint is introduced to deal with the staircase effect caused by the low SR and total variation regularization; secondly, based on the local similarity prior of consecutive frames in the time dimension, we designed the temporal local image low-rank constraint for the FSI, and combined the spatiotemporal random sampling method, the redundancy image information of consecutive frames can be utilized sufficiently; finally, by introducing additional variables to decompose the optimization problem into multiple sub-problems and analytically solving each one, a closed-form algorithm is derived for efficient image reconstruction. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves imaging quality significantly compared with state-of-the-art methods.

High-speed three-dimensional shape measurement based on tripartite complementary Gray-coded light.

In phase-shifting profilometry based on the Gray code, the jump error is inevitably generated and is further amplified in dynamic scenes. To tackle this problem, we propose the robust tripartite complementary Gray code method (TCG). Without projecting additional patterns, TCG uses different combinations of Gray code to calculate three complementary orders able to avoid jump error in the unwrapping process. TCG is efficient and robust, as it fully utilizes the redundant information of the Gray code. Experimental results demonstrate that TCG can realize high-efficiency and high-speed three-dimensional shape measurement at a rate of 500 fps.

Fast and high-quality single-pixel imaging.

The imaging quality of the conventional single-pixel-imaging (SPI) technique seriously degrades at a low sampling rate. To tackle this problem, we propose an efficient sampling method and a high-quality real-time image reconstruction strategy: first, different from the conventional simple circular path sampling strategy or variable density random sampling technique, the proposed method samples the Fourier spectrum using the spectrum distribution of the image, that is, sampling the significant spectrum coefficients first, which will help to improve the image quality at a relevantly low sampling rate; second, to handle the long image reconstruction time caused by the iterative algorithm, the sparsity of the image and the alternating direction optimization strategy are combined to ameliorate the reconstruction process in the image gradient space. Compared with the state-of-the-art techniques, the proposed method significantly improves the imaging quality and achieves real-time reconstruction on the time scale of milliseconds.

Study on arsenic, selenium, and lead produced in coal combustion: bibliometric method.

The literature on trace element pollutants (arsenic, selenium, lead) produced during coal burning from 2007 to 2020 was summarized by the bibliometric method, and the characteristics of published articles and research trends were analyzed. Taking 2007 as the starting point for statistics on articles in this research direction, there was a process of rapid growth in the total number of published articles by 2015, and it was increased over time. In the last 5 years of statistics, it is found that the number of articles published in China is the largest, accounting for almost half of the total. Most of the articles are published in the fields of energy, environmental protection, etc. Among them, the research on arsenic, selenium, and lead is mainly related to the use of adsorbents. At the same time, the effects of temperature, catalyst, material, and other conditions on the removal efficiency of arsenic, selenium, and lead in coal were considered. Application of photocatalysis, preparation of new adsorption materials, and mining of the properties of existing materials under different experimental conditions are a good development prospect.
