Passive LWIR Hyperspectral Ranging via Transmittance Extraction and Distance Alignment

Passive long-wave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral ranging enables distance estimation in low-light and nighttime scenes by exploiting atmospheric absorption features in thermal radiance received through the atmosphere.Joint estimation of temperature, emissivity, and distance is computationally expensive. Reference-range joint inversion also uses a distance-invariant effective attenuation coefficient, which can bias range estimates.We introduce transmittance extraction and distance alignment (TEDA), which decouples range estimation from temperature--emissivity inversion. In the first stage, a baseline estimator with a data-fidelity term invariant to the known absorption direction yields two closed-form smoothing branches for the slowly varying thermal continuum. An observation-derived gate combines the branches, and subtracting the blended baseline in the log domain recovers atmospheric transmittance. The second stage estimates range by matching the recovered transmittance to sensor-domain transmittance models recomputed for each candidate distance. Monte Carlo simulations show that TEDA effectively reduces the ranging bias caused by the distance-invariant attenuation coefficient approximation. In a measured scene, TEDA's mean range estimates are closer to the LiDAR medians than those of reference-range joint inversion in both evaluated patches. TEDA processes a complete $256\times256$ region of interest in 8.19~s versus 159.47~s for reference-range joint inversion, an approximately 20-fold speedup.

A Novel Decomposed Feature-Oriented Framework for Open-Set Semantic Segmentation on LiDAR Data

Semantic segmentation is a key technique that enables mobile robots to understand and navigate surrounding environments autonomously. However, most existing works focus on segmenting known objects, overlooking the identification of unknown classes, which is common in real-world applications. In this paper, we propose a feature-oriented framework for open-set semantic segmentation on LiDAR data, capable of identifying unknown objects while retaining the ability to classify known ones. We design a decomposed dual-decoder network to simultaneously perform closed-set semantic segmentation and generate distinctive features for unknown objects. The network is trained with multi-objective loss functions to capture the characteristics of known and unknown objects. Using the extracted features, we introduce an anomaly detection mechanism to identify unknown objects. By integrating the results of close-set semantic segmentation and anomaly detection, we achieve effective feature-driven LiDAR open-set semantic segmentation. Evaluations on both SemanticKITTI and nuScenes datasets demonstrate that our proposed framework significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods. The source code will be made publicly available at https://github.com/nubot-nudt/DOSS.

A Polarization Image Dehazing Method Based on the Principle of Physical Diffusion

Computer vision is increasingly used in areas such as unmanned vehicles, surveillance systems and remote sensing. However, in foggy scenarios, image degradation leads to loss of target details, which seriously affects the accuracy and effectiveness of these vision tasks. Polarized light, due to the fact that its electromagnetic waves vibrate in a specific direction, is able to resist scattering and refraction effects in complex media more effectively compared to unpolarized light. As a result, polarized light has a greater ability to maintain its polarization characteristics in complex transmission media and under long-distance imaging conditions. This property makes polarized imaging especially suitable for complex scenes such as outdoor and underwater, especially in foggy environments, where higher quality images can be obtained. Based on this advantage, we propose an innovative semi-physical polarization dehazing method that does not rely on an external light source. The method simulates the diffusion process of fog and designs a diffusion kernel that corresponds to the image blurriness caused by this diffusion. By employing spatiotemporal Fourier transforms and deconvolution operations, the method recovers the state of fog droplets prior to diffusion and the light inversion distribution of objects. This approach effectively achieves dehazing and detail enhancement of the scene.

Multi-resonant piezoelectric shunting induced by digital controllers for subwavelength elastic wave attenuation in smart metamaterial

Instead of analog electronic circuits and components, digital controllers that are capable of active multi-resonant piezoelectric shunting are applied to elastic metamaterials integrated with piezoelectric patches. Giving thanks to the introduced digital control technique, shunting strategies with transfer functions that can hardly be realized with analog circuits is possible now. As an example, the "pole-zero" method is developed to design single- or multi-resonant bandgaps by adjusting poles and zeros in the transfer function of piezoelectric shunting directly. Large simultaneous attenuations in up to three frequency bands at deep subwavelength scale (with the normalized frequency as low as 0.077) are achieved. The underlying physical mechanism is attributed to the negative group velocity of flexural wave within bandgaps. As digital controllers can be readily adapted via wireless broadcasting, the bandgaps can be tuned easily instead of tuning the electric components in analog shunting circuits one by one manually. The theoretical results are well verified experimentally with the measured vibration transmission properties where large insulations of up to 20dB in low-frequency ranges are observed.
