Subpixel Detection of Circular Objects using Geometric Property
In this paper, we propose a method for detecting circular shapes with subpixel accuracy. First, the geometric properties of circles have been used to find the diameters as well as the circumference pixels. The center and radius are then estimated by the circumference pixels. Both synthetic and real images have been tested by the proposed method. The experimental results show that the new method is efficient
Reconstructing black hole exteriors and interiors using entanglement and complexity
Based on the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study how to reconstruct bulk
spacetime metrics by various quantum information measures on the boundary field
theories, which include entanglement entropy, mutual information, entanglement
of purification, and computational complexity according to the proposals of
complexity=volume 2.0 and complexity=generalized volume. We present several
reconstruction methods, all of which are free of UV divergence and most of
which are driven by the derivatives of the measures with respect to the
boundary scales. We illustrate that the exterior and interior of a black hole
can be reconstructed using the measures of spatial entanglement and
time-evolved complexity, respectively. We find that these measures always probe
the spacetime in a local way: reconstructing the bulk metric in different
radial positions requires the information at different boundary scales. We also
show that the reconstruction method using complexity=volume 2.0 proposal is the
simplest and has the strongest locality.Comment: 25 pages, 18 figures, 1 tabl
Exposure of the Hidden Anti-Ferromagnetism in Paramagnetic CdSe:Mn Nanocrystals
We present theoretical and experimental investigations of the magnetism of
paramagnetic semiconductor CdSe:Mn nanocrystals and propose an efficient
approach to the exposure and analysis of the underlying anti-ferromagnetic
interactions between magnetic ions therein. A key advance made here is the
build-up of an analysis method with the exploitation of group theory technique
that allows us to distinguish the anti-ferromagnetic interactions between
aggregative Mn2+ ions from the overall pronounced paramagnetism of magnetic ion
doped semiconductor nanocrystals. By using the method, we clearly reveal and
identify the signatures of anti-ferromagnetism from the measured temperature
dependent magnetisms, and furthermore determine the average number of Mn2+ ions
and the fraction of aggregative ones in the measured CdSe:Mn nanocrystals.Comment: 26 pages, 5 figure
