Abstract: A sand dune extraction method based on fusion of positive-negative terrains and light shading includes: obtaining an original digital elevation model of a study region; using a neighborhood analysis method to process the original digital elevation model of the study region, thereby extracting a positive terrain region and a negative terrain region of the study region; using a lighting shading method to perform six directional lighting simulation calculations on each pixel of the original digital elevation model of the study region to obtain a lighting shading map, and extracting a lighting region and a shadow region of the study region from the lighting shading map; using an embedding method to fuse the positive terrain region and the negative terrain region with the lighting region and the shadow region. The sand dune extraction method is a method for remote sensing monitoring and governance of desertification regions.

Abstract: A method for processing device failure includes: detecting, by a target standby device associated with a target shared storage device, an operating status of a target control device that manages the target shared storage device; if the target control device fails, sending, by the target standby device, a management request to the target shared storage device, and sending, by the target standby device, a replacement request for the target control device to the cluster management node; setting, by the target shared storage device, the target standby device as a local management device; and determining, by the cluster management node, that the target standby device is a replacement device of the target control device.
