Complete Solution for Vehicle Re-ID in Surround-view Camera System

Vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) is a critical component of the autonomous driving perception system, and research in this area has accelerated in recent years. However, there is yet no perfect solution to the vehicle re-identification issue associated with the car's surround-view camera system. Our analysis identifies two significant issues in the aforementioned scenario: i) It is difficult to identify the same vehicle in many picture frames due to the unique construction of the fisheye camera. ii) The appearance of the same vehicle when seen via the surround vision system's several cameras is rather different. To overcome these issues, we suggest an integrative vehicle Re-ID solution method. On the one hand, we provide a technique for determining the consistency of the tracking box drift with respect to the target. On the other hand, we combine a Re-ID network based on the attention mechanism with spatial limitations to increase performance in situations involving multiple cameras. Finally, our approach combines state-of-the-art accuracy with real-time performance. We will soon make the source code and annotated fisheye dataset available.

$^3S_1-{}^3D_1$ coupled channel $Λ_c N$ interactions: chiral effective field theory vs. lattice QCD

We study the lattice QCD $Λ_c N$ phase shifts for the $^3S_1-{}^3D_1$ coupled channel using both the leading order covariant chiral effective theory and the next-to-leading order non-relativistic chiral effective field theory. We show that although it is possible to describe simultaneously the $^3S_1$ and $^3D_1$ phase shifts and the inelasticity $η_1$, the fitted energy range is pretty small, only up to $E_\mathrm{c.m.}=5$ MeV. This raises concerns regarding the consistency between leading/next-to-leading order chiral effective field theory and the lattice QCD simulations.

Ta4CoSi: a Tantalum-rich superconductor with a honeycomb network structure

The crystal structure of solid-state materials with unique lattices is considered one of the main factors determining physical properties, including superconductivity. Materials with honeycomb lattices have inspired intense research interest for their novel properties. A previously unknown compound, Ta4CoSi, are discussed herein and its crystal structure and superconducting properties. It crystallizes in a CuAl2-type structure (space group P4/mcm, No. 124) with the lattice parameters a = b = 6.17755(7)Å and c = 4.98443(8) Å, featuring honeycomb networks of Ta-Ta in (110) plane. Superconductivity is observed below the critical temperature of 2.45 K, while lower and upper critical magnetic fields are 9.86 mT and 0.84 T, respectively. Experiments and theoretical calculations show that the honeycomb lattices significantly influence the superconducting properties. This material may thus provide a new platform for investigating the exotic superconductivity of honeycomb networks.

How much is the compositeness of a bound state constrained by $a$ and $r_0$? The role of the interaction range

We present an approach that allows one to obtain information on the compositeness of molecular states from combined information of the scattering length of the hadronic components, the effective range, and the binding energy. We consider explicitly the range of the interaction in the formalism and show it to be extremely important to improve on the formula of Weinberg obtained in the limit of very small binding and zero range interaction. The method allows obtaining good information also in cases where the binding is not small. We explicitly apply it to the case of the deuteron and the $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)$ and $D^{*}_{s1}(2460)$ states and determine simultaneously the value of the compositeness within a certain range, as well as get qualitative information on the range of the interaction.

The role of meson interactions in the $D_s^{+}\rightarrow π^{+}π^{+}π^{-}η$ decay

We perform a theoretical study of the $D_s^{+}\to π^{+}π^{+}π^{-}η$ decay. We look first at the basic $D_s^{+}$ decay at the quark level from external and internal emission. Then hadronize a pair or two pairs of $q\bar{q}$ states to have mesons at the end. Posteriorly the pairs of mesons are allowed to undergo final state interaction, by means of which the $a_0(980)$, $f_0(980)$, $a_1(1260)$, and $b_1(1235)$ resonances are dynamically generated. The $G$-parity is used as a filter of the possible channels, and from those with negative $G$-parity only the ones that can lead to $π^{+}π^{+}π^{-}η$ at the final state are kept. Using transition amplitudes from the chiral unitary approach that generates these resonances, and a few free parameters, we obtain a fair reproduction of the six mass distributions reported in BESIII experiment.

Test of the hyperon-nucleon interaction within leading order covariant chiral effective field theory

Motivated by the recent experimental measurements of differential cross sections of the $Σ^{-}p$ elastic scattering in the momentum range of $470$ to $850$ MeV$/c$ by the J-PARC E$40$ experiment, we extend our previous studies of $S=-1$ hyperon-nucleon interactions to relatively higher energies up to $900$ MeV$/c$ for both the coupled-channel $Λp\rightarrow(Λp, Σ^{+}n, Σ^{0}p)$, $Σ^{-}p\rightarrow(Λn, Σ^{0}n, Σ^{-}p)$ and single-channel $Σ^{+}p\rightarrowΣ^{+}p$ reactions. We show that although the leading order covariant chiral effective field theory is only constrained by the low energy data, it can describe the high energy data reasonably well, in particular, the J-PARC E40 differential cross sections. The predicted cusp structure close to the $ΣN$ threshold in the $Λp\to Λp$ reaction agrees with the latest ALICE observation as well as with the results of the next-to-leading order heavy baryon chiral effective theory. On the other hand, the comparison with the latest CLAS data on the $Λp$ cross sections between 0.9 and 2.0 GeV$/c$ clearly indicates the need of higher order chiral potentials for such high momenta. This is also the case for the latest J-PARC data on the $Σp \rightarrow Λn$ differential cross sections. Nevertheless, even for these cases, the predictions are in qualitative agreement with the data, albeit with large uncertainties, implying that the predicted total and differential cross sections are of relevance for ongoing and planned experiments.

Reflectance of Rhenium as a Function of Pressure in a Diamond Anvil Cell

We have measured the reflectance of rhenium in the visible region to pressures up to 100 GPa in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). By photographing the reflecting surface, we visually show that there are challenges to obtaining accurate values in a DAC for several reasons and propose some useful procedures. We also show that knowledge of the reflectance of rhenium can overcome the problem of absorption of light by diamonds when studying the reflectance of materials at high pressure in a DAC.

A new ground-state band level energy formula for transitional nuclei

A new three parameter formula is proposed for ground-state bands in even-even soft rotors or called transitional nuclei. The new formula blends those of very soft nuclei and well deformed nuclei. Especially, it is found in fact that the formula proposed by P. von Brentano et al. can be derived from our formula if some approximations are adopted and it can be explained why in their work the energy-dependent term beta*E can be dropped. Compared to their formula it can be resulted in that the range of validity of our formula will be much broader than theirs.

Disentangling and Vectorization: A 3D Visual Perception Approach for Autonomous Driving Based on Surround-View Fisheye Cameras

The 3D visual perception for vehicles with the surround-view fisheye camera system is a critical and challenging task for low-cost urban autonomous driving. While existing monocular 3D object detection methods perform not well enough on the fisheye images for mass production, partly due to the lack of 3D datasets of such images. In this paper, we manage to overcome and avoid the difficulty of acquiring the large scale of accurate 3D labeled truth data, by breaking down the 3D object detection task into some sub-tasks, such as vehicle's contact point detection, type classification, re-identification and unit assembling, etc. Particularly, we propose the concept of Multidimensional Vector to include the utilizable information generated in different dimensions and stages, instead of the descriptive approach for the bird's eye view (BEV) or a cube of eight points. The experiments of real fisheye images demonstrate that our solution achieves state-of-the-art accuracy while being real-time in practice.

Size and shape fluctuations of ultrasoft colloids

Ultrasoft colloidal particle fluctuates due to its flexibility. Such fluctuation is essential for colloidal structure and dynamics, but is challenging to quantify experimentally. We use dendrimers as a model system to study the fluctuation of ultrasoft colloids. By considering the dynamic polydispersity in the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) model, and introducing the fluctuation of invasive water into the contrast in SANS, we reveal the fluctuating amplitudes of the size and shape of the dendrimer of generation 6 at finite concentrations. The size fluctuation is suppressed while the shape fluctuation increases as the weight fraction of dendrimers passes 11%. With neutron spin echo data, we suggest that such crossover originates from the competition between the inter- and intra-particle dynamics. Further investigation on lower-generation samples shows a contrary result, which suggests a structural basis for these dynamic phenomena.

Strangeness $S = -3$ and $-4$ baryon-baryon interactions in relativistic chiral effective field theory

The strangeness $S=-3$ and $-4$ baryon-baryon interactions are investigated in the relativistic chiral effective field theory at leading order. First, the potentials are derived from the $S=-1$ sector assuming that the corresponding low-energy constants are related to each other via SU(3) flavor symmetry. The comparison with the state-of-the-art lattice QCD simulations, show, however, that SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking effects can not be neglected. In order to take into account these effects, we redetermine two sets of low-energy constants by fitting to the lattice QCD data in the $ΞΣ$ and $ΞΞ$ channels respectively. The fitting results demonstrate that the lattice QCD $S$-waves phase shifts for both channels can be described rather well. Without any additional free low-energy constants, the predicted phase shifts for the ${}^3D_1$ channel and the mixing angle $\varepsilon_1$ are also in qualitative agreement with the lattice QCD data for the $S=-3$ channel, while the results for the $S=-4$ channel remain to be checked by future lattice QCD simulations. With the so-obtained low-energy constants, the $S$-wave scattering lengths and effective ranges are calculated for these two channels at the physical point. Finally, in combination with the $S=0$ and $-2$ results obtained in our previous works, we study the evolution of the irreducible representation $27$ in the baryon-baryon interactions as a function of increasing strangeness. It is shown that the attraction decreases dramatically as strangeness increases from $S=0$ to $S=-2$, but then remains relatively stable until $S=-4$. The results indicate that the existence of bound states in the $ΞΣ$ and $ΞΞ$ channels is rather unlikely.

$Λ_c N$ interaction in leading order covariant chiral effective field theory

We study the $Λ_c N$ interaction in the covariant chiral effective field theory (ChEFT) at leading order. All the relevant low-energy constants are determined by fitting to the lattice QCD simulations from the HAL QCD Collaboration. Extrapolating the results to the physical point, we show that the $Λ_c N$ interaction is weakly attractive in the $^1S_0$ channel, but in the $^3S_1$ channel, it is only attractive at extremely low energies and soon turns repulsive for larger laboratory energy. Furthermore, we show that the neglect of the $^3S_1-{}^3D_1$ coupling provided by the leading order covariant ChEFT would result in an attractive interaction in the $^3S_1$ channel at the physical point, which coincides with the previous non-relatistic ChEFT study. As a byproduct, we predict the $^3D_1$ phase shifts and the mixing angel $\varepsilon_1$, which can be checked by future lattice QCD simulations. In addition, we compare the $Λ_c N$ interaction with the $ΛN$ and $NN$ interactions to study how the baryon-nucleon ($BN$) interactions evolve as a function of the baryon mass with the replacement of a light quark by a strange or charm quark in the baryon ($B$).

Strangeness $S=-1$ hyperon-nucleon interactions: chiral effective field theory vs. lattice QCD

Hyperon-nucleon interactions serve as basic inputs to studies of hypernuclear physics and dense (neutron) stars. Unfortunately, a precise understanding of these important quantities have lagged far behind that of the nucleon-nucleon interaction due to lack of high precision experimental data. Historically, hyperon-nucleon interactions are either formulated in quark models or meson exchange models. In recent years, lattice QCD simulations and chiral effective field theory approaches start to offer new insights from first principles. In the present work, we contrast the state of art lattice QCD simulations with the latest chiral hyperon-nucleon forces and show that the leading order relativistic chiral results can already describe the lattice QCD data reasonably well. Given the fact that the lattice QCD simulations are performed with pion masses ranging from the (almost) physical point to 700 MeV, such studies provide a highly non-trivial check on both the chiral effective field theory approaches as well as lattice QCD simulations. Nevertheless more precise lattice QCD simulations are eagerly needed to refine our understanding of hyperon-nucleon interactions.

Pressure-induced superconductivity in elemental ytterbium metal

Ytterbium (Yb) metal is divalent and nonmagnetic but would be expected under sufficient pressure to become trivalent and magnetic. We have carried out electrical resistivity and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements on Yb to pressures as high as 179 GPa over the temperature range 1.4 - 295 K. No evidence for magnetic order is observed. However, above 86 GPa Yb is found to become superconducting near 1.4 K with a transition temperature that increases monotonically with pressure to approximately 4.6 K at 179 GPa. Yb thus becomes the 54th known elemental superconductor.

Preliminary study on CAD-based method of characteristics for neutron transport calculation

The method of characteristics (MOC) is widely used for neutron transport calculation in recent decades. However, the key problem determining whether MOC can be applied in highly heterogeneous geometry is how to combine an effective geometry modeling method with it. Most of the existing MOC codes conventionally describe the geometry model just by lines and arcs with extensive input data. Thus they have difficulty in geometry modeling and ray tracing for complicated geometries. In this study, a new method making use of a CAD-based automatic modeling tool MCAM which is a CAD/Image-based Automatic Modeling Program for Neutronics and Radiation Transport developed by FDS Team in China was introduced for geometry modeling and ray tracing of particle transport to remove those limitations. The diamond -difference scheme was applied to MOC to reduce the spatial discretization errors of the flat flux approximation. Based on MCAM and MOC, a new MOC code was developed and integrated into SuperMC system, whic h is a Super Multi-function Computational system for neutronics and radiation simulation. The numerical results demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the new method for neutron transport calculation in MOC.
