Phase retrieval is an important tool for image recovery techniques based on Fourier spectrum. Different iterative algorithms have been developed to retrieve phase information. However, due to the nonconvex feature of the phase optimization problem, it remains a challenge to globally obtain the optim...

Optical phased array (OPA) imaging technique, which uses electro-optic modulation to achieve beam steering rather than mechanical scanning, is a raster scanning imaging method with great potential due to its noninertia and high speed. However, fabrication imperfection of an OPA causes pre-designed p...

To assess structural sealant damage in hidden frame glass curtain walls (HFGCWs) during service, damage states were simulated by controlled cutting with varying incision lengths. Quantitative identification challenges were investigated through natural frequency and curvature modal difference (CMD) a...

This paper addresses the aperture limitation problem faced by array-equipped underwater gliders (UGs) in direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. A passive synthetic aperture (PSA) method for DOA estimation using a single hydrophone mounted on a UG is proposed. This method uses the motion of the UG to...

In this study, a networked spatiotemporal chaotic map model is proposed based on the traditional coupled map lattice system. In addition, the time delay and variable topology parameters are considered to make the system more practical. The chaotic properties are analyzed using a bifurcation diagram,...
