Abstract On-Machine Measurement adoption will be key to dimensional and geometrical improvement of additively manufactured parts. One possible approach based on OMM aims at using digital images of manufactured layers to characterize actual contour deviations with respect to their theoretical profile. This strategy would also allow for in-process corrective actions. This work describes a layer-contour characterization procedure based on binarization of digital images acquired with a flat-bed scanner. This procedure has been tested off-line to evaluate the influence of two of the parameters for image treatment, the median filter size (S f ) and the threshold value (T), on the dimensional/geometrical reliability of the contour characterization. Results showed that an appropriate selection of configuration parameters allowed to characterize the proposed test-target with excellent coverage and reasonable accuracy.

Abstract. Characterizing ecosystem-atmosphere interactions in terms of carbon and water exchange on different time scales is considered a major challenge in terrestrial biogeochemical cycle research. The respective time series are now partly comprising an observation period of one decade. In this study, we explored whether the observation period is already sufficient to detect cross relationships of the variables beyond the annual cycle as they are expected from comparable studies in climatology. We explored the potential of Singular System Analysis (SSA) to extract arbitrary kinds of oscillatory patterns. The method is completely data adaptive and performs an effective signal to noise separation. We found that most observations (NEE, GPP, Reco, VPD, LE, H, u, P) were influenced significantly by low frequency components (interannual variability). Furthermore we extracted a set of nonlinear relationships and found clear annual hysteresis effects except for the NEE-Rg relationship which turned out to be the sole linear relationship in the observation space. SSA provides a new tool to investigate these phenomena explicitly on different time scales. Furthermore, we showed that SSA has great potential for eddy covariance data processing since it can be applied as novel gap filling approach relying on the temporal time series structure only.

The problem of ensuring stability of Earth observation space-borne instruments undertaking long-term temperature measurements within thermal IR spectral range is described. For in-flight reliable control of the space-borne IR instruments characteristics the stability of onboard reference sources should be improved. The function of these high-stable sources will be executed by novel onboard blackbodies, incorporating the melt↔freeze phase transition phenomenon, currently being developed. As a part of these works the task of realizing an on-orbit calibration scale within the dynamic temperature range of Earth observation systems 210−350 K based on fixed-point phase transition temperatures of a number of potentially suitable substances is advanced. The corresponding series of the onboard reference blackbodies will be set up on the basis of the on-orbit calibration scale fixed points. It is shown that the achievement of the target lies in carrying out a number of in-flight experiments with the selected fixed points and the prospective onboard fixed-point blackbodies prototypes. The new In-Bi eutectic alloy melt temperature fixed point (~345 K) is proposed as the significant fixed points of the future on-orbit calibration scale. The results of the new fixed point preliminary laboratory studies have been analyzed. The results allowed to start preparation of the in-flight experiments investigating the In-Bi alloy for the purpose of its application in the novel onboard reference sources.

In this paper, the effect of mixture tying on a second-order 2D Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is studied as applied to the face recognition problem. While tying HMM parameters is a well-known solution in the case of insufficient training data that leads to nonrobust estimation, it is used here to improve the overall performance in the small model case where the resolution in the observation space is the main problem. The fully-tied-mixture 2D HMM-based face recognition system is applied to the facial database of AT&T and the facial database of Georgia Institute of Technology. The performance of the proposed 2D HMM tied-mixture system is studied and the expected improvement is confirmed.
