  • Patent number: 11954895
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for automatically identifying south troughs by improved Laplace and relates to the technical field of meteorology. The method includes the following steps: acquiring grid data of a geopotential height field; calculating a gradient field of the geopotential height field in an x direction; searching for a turning point where a gradient value turned from being negative to being positive, and cleaning the gradient field; calculating a divergence of the x direction to obtain an improved Laplacian numerical value L?; performing 0,1 binarization processing on the L? to obtain a black-and-white image and a plurality of targets of potential troughs, merging the black-and-white image and the plurality of targets of the potential troughs by expansion, recovering original scale through erosion, and selecting an effective target through an angle of direction of a contour and an axial ratio.

  • Publication number: 20200142114
    Abstract: The present invention provides a polarizing plate and a method of preparing the same, wherein the polarizing plate comprises a polyvinyl alcohol layer (PVA) and a support layer, the support layer is in contact with and supports the polyvinyl alcohol layer; wherein the support layer is a curing glue coating composed of at least one of a heat curing material, an optical glue, and a UV curing glue, and has a thickness of 5-20 ?m. The present invention adopts a novel structure design of a polarizing plate, and uses a curing glue coating to support and protect the polyvinyl alcohol layer. The curing glue coating can effectively reduce the thickness on the basis of realizing the same effect of an existing COP/TAC/CAT support layer, thereby reducing an overall thickness of the polarizing plate.
