ZOU Lin, HUANG Shu-kang, QIAN Lu, WANG Xue-gang, TIAN Jin-chuan
2020, 49(6): 801-805. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2019166
Abstract:
Linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) vehicle radars usually adopts multiple input multiple output (MIMO) virtual aperture angle measurement method. Traditional methods split velocity ambiguity resolution and angle estimation in two frames for further processing, causing the reduction of radar data rate. In this paper, a new method is proposed to solve this problem. This method uses the Time division multiplexing (TDM) approach to transmit and process sawtooth signals with different slope. Only one frame signal is needed for the velocity ambiguity resolution and angle estimation by using phase compensation. Simulation and theoretical analysis show that the proposed method can reduce signal processing time and improve radar data rate, with high angle measurement accuracy obtained simultaneously.

Abstract:
In order to better solve multi-objective problem and improve the diversity and convergence of multi-objective optimization algorithms, an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. The algorithm divides the population into several subpopulations for optimization search and improves the particle velocity updating formula to expend the coverage of Pareto optimal solution set, and use inverse trigonometric logistic mapping to initialize the population to make the distribution of initial population more uniform. The time-varying variation method is used to change the external files to avoid local optimization. By comparing the performance of improved algorithm, standard multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithms and NSGA-Ⅱ on the standard test function, the effectiveness of the improved algorithm proposed in this paper is verified in an optimal radar distribution station.

ZHANG Hai-ying, HE Wen-jiao, WANG Wei, WANG Cheng-gang
2020, 49(6): 812-817. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2019192
Abstract:
Target track quality evaluation is a problem of multi-index evaluations, including the accuracy and continuity of the target state. The present evaluation indexes are not applicable to the real-time evaluation of the target track quality. Furthermore, in the comprehensive evaluation of track quality, weighted coefficients of each index are directly given by experience and thereby lack theoretical basis. To solve the problems above, a real-time evaluation method of target track quality based on location information is proposed. Firstly, a real-time evaluation index system of target track quality is established according to target location information, and the recursive calculation method of the evaluation index is given. Then, the weighted coefficients of evaluation index are determined based on the analytic hierarchy process. Finally, the method of weighted summation is used to evaluate the comprehensive quality of the target track. The experimental results based on simulation data proved the effectiveness of the proposed method.

2020, 49(6): 818-825. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2019293
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the mean square consensus problem of multi-agent system which has the nonconvex input and Markov switching graphs. First, a non-convex constraint operator is introduced and a distributed control algorithm is designed according to the neighbor node information in the multi-agent system. Then, based on the property of non-negative matrix, the sufficient and necessary conditions are obtained for the mean square consensus problem of the multi-agent system with Markov switching graphs. Finally, numerical simulation results validate that the mean square consensus can be achieved when the control input is restricted in a nonconvex set.

2020, 49(6): 826-836. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2020356
Abstract:
Heterogeneous ultra-dense network (H-UDN) is envisioned as a promising solution to sustain the explosive mobile traffic demand through network densification. By placing access points, processors, and storage units as close as possible to mobile users, H-UDNs bring forth a number of advantages, including high spectral efficiency, high energy efficiency, and low latency. Nonetheless, the high density and diversity of network entities in H-UDNs introduce formidable design challenges in collaborative signal processing and resource management. This article illustrates the great potential of machine learning techniques in solving these challenges. In particular, we show how to utilize graphical representations of H-UDNs to design efficient machine learning algorithms.

2020, 49(6): 843-847. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2020007
Abstract:
Radar angel echo is usually caused by some special weather conditions, which will lead to multiple slow-moving “target” tracks on radar terminal, affecting radar performance and disturbing operator’s judgment. In this paper, based on acquisition and analysis of original radar signal containing angel echo, the characteristic differences between angel echo and real target are extracted, and by summarizing amplitude characteristics, Doppler characteristics, spatial distribution and motion law of angel echo, a multi-criteria decision-making clutter suppression method based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is proposed. The processing results of real experimental data show that radar angel echo can be accurately distinguished and well suppressed by adopting the method.

2020, 49(6): 848-853. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2020026
Abstract:
Because there are more than 20 performance parameters of space travelling wave tube (TWT), and they restrict each other, so the traditional manual debugging has great limitations, which is one of the reasons that restrict the performance improvement of TWT. A multi-objective optimization system of space TWT based on the fast and elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is introduced in this paper. This system is composed of multi-objective optimization algorithm, automatic test system for electrical parameters of TWT, program-controlled high-voltage power supply and integrated test platform, which has the advantages of high automation and high reliability. It is not only helpful to form a standardized and standardized debugging process, but also of great significance to improve the potential performance of space TWT.

2020, 49(6): 854-859. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2019301
Abstract:
To study the detection of dynamic link library (DLL) injected by static modifying import table of portable executable (PE) file, a common detection method on legal scope and a depth detection method on exception backtracking are proposed. The first method calculates the range of data structure arrangement of all DLLs from a static point of view, without parsing the DLL’s function to infer whether it is malicious. The idea of debugging is used to detect malicious DLLs in second method, which control the running of the target program, and track the DLL loading process in the initialization phase of the target program. Also the debugging API is used for exception capture to realize detection. C++ was used to design DLL detection experiment: injected the DLL with download function into the target program. The detection tool DLL Detector was designed and developed for detection. The experiment successfully detects suspicious modules from the static phase and the program initialization phase. Both methods support 32-bit and 64-bit PE files and can be used to guard against malicious code.

2020, 49(6): 860-866. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2020202
Abstract:
Outlier detection as one of the hot issues in data mining area aims to discover the objects with abnormal behaviors from the original data distribution. And it can generate many valuable applications, e.g., bank fraud, network instruction and etc. Currently, distributed computing has been widely applied in outlier detection. However, it still brings the lower performance of data computing since there are computing differences in compute nodes of distributed environment. To solve the problem of load balancing in distributed computing-based outlier detection with respect to large scale and high dimensional data, a weighted distributed outlier detection method has been proposed. First, we tend to ascertain the weight of data node based on computing performance of data node, whereafter dividing the data space into several grids. At last, for the purpose of parallel computing, a weighted grid-based allocation algorithm based on grid dividing is proposed, which allocates the grids to configured data nodes. The extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of proposed method, and demonstrate its better performance.

LI Xue-ming, YUE Gong, CHEN Guang-wei
2020, 49(6): 867-874. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2019228
Abstract:
The existing image caption methods have some problems that the caption sentences are not rich and accurate, and the model structures are complicated and difficult to train. We propose a novel end-to-end image caption method called image caption based on multimodal attention mechanism (M-AT). Firstly, it takes the keyword image feature extraction model (K-IFE) to extract better spatial features and keyword features, uses the keyword attention mechanism model (K-AT) to focus on important description words, and applies the spatial attention mechanism model (S-AT) to pay attention to more important areas of the image and simplify the model structure. The two attention mechanisms, K-AT and S-AT, can correct each other. The proposed method can generate more accurate and rich image description sentences. The experimental results on the MSCOCO data set show that the proposed method is effective, has around 2% improvement in some evaluation indicators.

CHEN Zuo-han, CAO Jie, ZHAO Fu-qing, ZHANG Jian-lin
2020, 49(6): 875-882. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2020153
Abstract:
A differential evolutionary (DE) algorithm based on search preference knowledge — PKLSHADE (i.e. preference-knowledge-based LSHADE) is proposed for complex multimodal optimization. PKLSHADE applies prior search preference knowledge in the evolutionary process of the population and differentiates the diversity and convergence of the population at different evolutionary stages, i.e., the importance is attached to the perturbation in the early stages of evolution to enhance the global development of the algorithm, and more local searches centering around the current optimal solution are carried out in the later stage. At the same time, the mutation strategy based on search preference knowledge can realize the global development of differential evolutionary algorithm and the smooth adaptive transition of local search to avoid the direct switch of the two search stages. The experimental results on the complex multimodal functions of CEC2017 show that PKLSHADE is superior to recent excellent algorithms such as LSHADE, EBLSHADE, jSO and AMECoDEs in terms of the accuracy of the optimal solution and the stability of the algorithm.

LI Jian, JING Fu-ying, LIU Jun
2020, 49(6): 883-890. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2020132
Abstract:
The entity relation extraction is the key part to estimate the novelty of patents. The traditional entity relation extraction is the series system, but this style has major dwawbacks. The paper studies the evolution of entity relation extraction using two improved BERT algorithms. One is the method combining traditional Chinese features with syntactic semantic features, and the other is the method combining attention mechanism with syntactic semantic features. The extensive computational experiments and the preparation technology of the graphene show that the two algorithms can improve the analysis efficiency for the contents of the patents and reveal the dynamic evolution process of the technology of the graphene firm.

SU Shuang-ping, YANG Wen, ZHAO Zhi-yun
2020, 49(6): 924-933. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2019234
Abstract:
This paper concerns the opinion evolution dynamics with malicious opinion injection in social networks. In the study, a modified DeGroot model is proposed by considering a real-time opinion injection from an intruder, and it is proved that the opinions of all the individuals converge to the opinion of the intruder. A set of ‘key’ individuals influenced by the intruder is then found such that the convergence speed on the malicious opinion is maximized. Further, a defense mechanism for each individual is proposed and the steady-state opinion gap of the individuals is obtained. Mumerical examples show the relation of the node role and the opinion convergence speed, and verify the effectiveness of the defense mechanism.

2020, 49(6): 955-960. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2020013
Abstract:
Methamphetamine is a new drug that can cause brain disfunction and even death. Most of the current studies only conducted enterprise resource planing (ERP) analysis on the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of methamphetamine addicts, and rarely classified the EEG signals of methamphetamine addicts. This study conducted an ERP analysis on the EEG signals of two types of subjects, and then extracted to the time domain, frequency domain and wavelet coefficients of the EEG signals within this range for each experiment. The classification accuracy can reach higher than 80%. In addition, 4 of the 5 electrodes with a classification accuracy of more than 75% were located in the frontal lobe, indicating that methamphetamine had the most severe impact on the frontal lobe compared to other brain regions. Therefore, the methamphetamine may mainly damage the brain's thinking and cognitive execution functions. The C3 electrode is projected mainly in the primary motor cortex region, methamphetamine may have an impact on the function of exercise execution of the methamphetamine addicts. The result provides some theory to further study on the effects of methamphetamine.
