  • Publication number: 20240067534
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the technical field of batteries, and discloses a cathode material and a preparation method thereof, a cathode plate and an O3-type layered sodium ion battery. The chemical formula of the cathode material is NaM1-x-y-zNixFeyMnzO2, wherein M comprises a first metal element, and the first metal element has at least one f electron orbital. Ni, Fe and Mn elements in the cathode material are elements containing a d electron orbital. By doping the element M, on the one hand, the f electron orbital and the d electron orbitals are mutually entangled, properties of the cathode material are synergistically improved, so that the structure and air stability of the material are improved; and on the other hand, interaction of all elements in the material can be facilitated, so that ions can move away from original positions to generate vacancies, ion diffusion channels of sodium ions are enlarged, and the rate capability of the material is improved.

  • Patent number: 9817107
    Abstract: The present invention provides an above-ground building recognition method, including the following steps: (1) taking an infrared image of the ground from the air; (2) performing detection and positioning in the infrared image to determine a suspected target; (3) aiming at the suspected target to perform laser imaging; (4) performing range gating on a laser image to filter out foreground and background interference; and (5) extracting a shape feature of the suspected target from the laser image with interference filtered out, and taking the shape feature as a target matching element to perform matching with a target shape feature template, so as to recognize the target. In the method of the present invention, laser imaging is integrated into infrared imaging target positioning, so that an advantage of a large range of infrared imaging is utilized, and three-dimensional range information of laser imaging is also utilized, thereby effectively improving the precision of positioning a building.

  • Patent number: 9563939
    Abstract: A de-noising method for remote images of ground buildings using spectrum constraints. The method includes: 1) obtaining a reference image of ground buildings from a remote image database of the ground buildings, performing a Fourier transformation on the reference image to obtain an amplitude spectrum, and performing a threshold segmentation, an erosion operation and a dilation operation successively on the amplitude spectrum to obtain a binary template of spectrum of the ground buildings; and 2) obtaining a real-time image of the ground buildings by a high-speed aircraft, performing a Fourier transformation on the real-time image to obtain a spectrum, filtering the spectrum of the real-time image in frequency domain by the binary template of spectrum of the ground buildings, and performing an inverse Fourier transformation thereon to generate a filtered real-time image of the ground buildings.
