Abstract: A multi-channel multi-phase digital beamforming method and apparatus is provided. The multi-channel multi-phase digital beamforming method includes following steps: S1: pre-configuring a delay filtering coefficient storage table; S2: calculating a filter coefficient and a weighting coefficient; and S3: performing weighted synthesis and filtering processing on a multi-phase signal to form a multi-phase digital beam. When a data rate of an input signal changes, the multi-channel multi-phase digital beamforming method can perform weighted synthesis for the signal at different sampling rates by changing a quantity of signal phases without changing a processing architecture. Based on a multi-phase finite impulse response (FIR) filtering technology, a fractional multiple delay processing architecture that can flexibly adapt to a plurality of phase quantities of the input signal is proposed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polarization fusion orientation method for an occluded environment, which comprises: acquiring a sky polarization image through a polarization camera first, then taking a heading angle output by an E-vector polarization orientation method as a state quantity, taking a heading angle output by a symmetry axis polarization orientation method as an observed quantity, realizing heading angle fusion through a multi-frequency variational Bayesian strong tracking cubature Kalman filter (MF-VBSTCKF), and respectively selecting different methods for a sampling position and a sampling interval period to update an optimal heading angle. The method solves the problem that high-precision and high-robustness heading angle measurement of polarized light cannot be realized in the occluded environment, can improve the precision and robustness of a polarized light orientation method in the occluded environment, and ensures high-frequency output of the heading angle at the same time.

Abstract: Intelligent process management is provided. A start time is determined for an additional process to be run on a worker node within a duration of a sleep state of a task of a process already running on the worker node by adding a first defined buffer time to a determined start time of the sleep state of the task.

A scheduling plan is generated for the additional process based on the start time and the backfill time corresponding to the additional process. The scheduling plan is executed to run the additional process on the worker node according to the start time and the backfill time corresponding to the additional process.
