Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for optimizing parameters of a ladder-type carbon trading mechanism based on an improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm. The method first obtains information and operating data of a park-level integrated energy system, establishes equipment models and constraints of the park-level integrated energy system, and establishes a ladder-type carbon trading model; then encapsulates a process of optimized low-carbon dispatching of the park-level integrated energy system as a fitness function whose input is parameters of a carbon trading mechanism and output is a carbon emission of the system; and finally, introduces an IPSO algorithm to optimize the fitness function, and outputs optimization result information of the algorithm. The present disclosure verifies effectiveness and rationality of the model and the method that give full play to a role of the ladder-type carbon trading mechanism in the park-level integrated energy system through example analysis.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for smart interpolation of annotations on tomographic images. The method includes receiving 3D images obtained by a CT, MRI or PET system, receiving label with contours of regions-of-interest (ROIs) if label is available for the received 3D images either from automatic segmentation algorithm or manual segmentation, creating an empty label if label is not available, recording user changes on each 2D slices of the label, finding two neighboring 2D slices that the user has edited, running interpolation on the user changes, applying the interpolated changes to each 2D slices not edited by the user, and performing post-processing to output the final 3D segmentation of ROIs.
