Abstract To implement restoration in a single motion blurred image, the PSF (Point Spread Function) is difficult to estimate and the image deconvolution is ill-posed as a result that a good recovery effect cannot be obtained. Considering that several different PSFs can get joint invertibility to make restoration well-posed, we proposed a motion-blurred image restoration method based on joint invertibility of PSFs by means of computational photography. Firstly, we designed a set of observation device which composed by multiple cameras with the same parameters to shoot the moving target in the same field of view continuously to obtain the target images… More >

Abstract To solve the problem of hiding quantum information in simplified subsystems, Modi et al. [1] introduced the concept of quantum masking. Quantum masking is the encoding of quantum information by composite quantum states in such a way that the quantum information is hidden to the subsystem and spreads to the correlation of the composite systems. The concept of quantum masking was developed along with a new quantum impossibility theorem, the quantum no-masking theorem. The question of whether a quantum state can be masked has been studied by many people from the perspective of the types of quantum states, the number… More >

Abstract An interpretation of the entangled states is considered. Two-photon states of photon A on path a and photon B on path b with polarizations H, V are constructed. Two synchronized photons, 1 and 2, can take the paths a and b, with equal probability 50%. In the bases a, b and H, V, the states of the photons form the product states. In the basis 1, 2, the states of the photons form the entangled state. The states of the photons in the bases 1, 2; a, b; H, V are inseparable. The correlation of the photons due to the… More >

Abstract We want in this article to show the usefulness of Quantum Turing Machine (QTM) in a high-level didactic context as well as in theoretical studies. We use QTM to show its equivalence with quantum circuit model for Deutsch and Deutsch-Jozsa algorithms. Further we introduce a strategy of translation from Quantum Circuit to Quantum Turing models by these examples. Moreover we illustrate some features of Quantum Computing such as superposition from a QTM point of view and starting with few simple examples very known in Quantum Circuit form. More >

Abstract The urbanization rate of Nanjing has increased in the past 55 years. Its development process can be roughly divided into the reverse urbanization phase, the stagnant development phase, the recovery development phase, the steady development phase, and the accelerated development phase. The area of cultivated land has a decreasing trend at each stage. In 1971 and beyond, urbanization development had a significant negative effect on the area of cultivated land, and the coordination between the two was not high and there was a downward trend.

Abstract Because of the abundance of clustering methods, comparing between methods and determining which method is proper for a given dataset is crucial. Especially, the availability of huge experimental datasets and transactional and the emerging requirements for data mining and the like needs badly for clustering algorithms that can be applied in various domains. This paper presents essential notions of clustering and offers an overview of the significant features of the most common representative clustering algorithms of clustering categories presented in a comparative way. More specifically the study is based on the numerical type of the data that the algorithm supports,… More >

Abstract Software verification is a key technique to ensure the correctness of software. Although numerous verification algorithms and tools have been developed in the past decades, it is still a great challenge for engineers to accurately and quickly choose the appropriate verification techniques for the software at hand. In this work, we propose a general learning framework for the intelligent selection of software verification algorithms, and instantiate the framework with two state-of-the-art learning algorithms: Broad learning (BL) and deep learning (DL). The experimental evaluation shows that the training efficiency of the BL-based model is much higher than the DL-based models and… More >

Abstract With the popularity of intelligent transportation system, license plate recognition system has been widely used in the management of vehicles in and out of closed communities. But in the natural environment such as video monitoring, the performance and accuracy of recognition are not ideal. In this paper, the improved Alex net convolution neural network is used to remove the false license plate in a large range of suspected license plate areas, and then the projection transformation and Hough transformation are used to correct the inclined license plate, so as to build an efficient license plate recognition system in natural environment.… More >

Abstract The purpose of automated question answering is to let the machine understand natural language questions and give accurate answers in the form of natural language. This technology requires the machine to store a large amount of background knowledge. In recent years, the rapid development of knowledge graph has made the knowledge based question answering (KBQA) more and more popular. Traditional styles of KBQA methods mainly include semantic parsing, information extraction and vector modeling. With the development of deep learning, KBQA with deep learning has gradually become the mainstream method. This paper introduces the application of deep learning in KBQA mainly… More >

Abstract CPU scheduling is the basic task within any time-shared operating system. One of the main goals of the researchers interested in CPU scheduling is minimizing time cost. Comparing between CPU scheduling algorithms is subject to some scheduling criteria (e.g., turnaround time, waiting time and number of context switches (NCS)). Scheduling policy is divided into preemptive and non-preemptive. Round Robin (RR) algorithm is the most common preemptive scheduling algorithm used in the time-shared operating systems. In this paper, the authors proposed a modified version of the RR algorithm, called dynamic time slice (DTS), to combine the advantageous of the low scheduling… More >
