In this study, we propose an inverse reflectance model based on co-located images to precisely model the nonlinear reflection behavior of the non-diffuse reflective surfaces. The proposed model can accurately map the pixel value to the product of the normal vector and the light direction. We need to capture only one co-located image and one RGB image under multispectral conditions to ensure that photometric stereo vision can achieve a high-precision performance, so the time required to capture images is considerably reduced. To perform surface inspection in case of mass production, the proposed method can realize online detection of the moving surfaces at a microsecond shooting rate because the co-located image can be acquired in advance and used for the subsequent workpiece. However, the iterative steps applied in the traditional methods arc omitted, and the robustness with respect to outliers, such as shadow points and highlights, is improved, because a neural network is used in the proposed method to train the near-field photometric stereo model. Furthermore, the results of simulation and experiment show that the algorithm can recover the normal vector of the non-diffuse surface well under the condition of very few images.

This paper presents an intelligent conceptual design framework for complex machine tools, which features a back and forth interaction mechanism between human intelligence and machine intelligence, towards a more productive design process. In particular, the focus hinges on the transition between concept generation and concept improvement, where a heuristics-based method is proposed to solve physical contradictions via a human-computer interaction mechanism. Focusing on the design of ultra-precision grinding machine, a case study presents how the framework facilitated resolving the key contradiction between high position servo stiffness and force control compliance, by a novel active grinding force control strategy.
This paper presents a dynamic cell-list method for realizing large scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with more than 50 million atoms on a single consumer graphics card. It adapts the cell-list algorithm by introducing an efficient two-step atom location scheme and a dynamic memory allocation scheme such that only those cells containing atoms consume device memory. In addition, a large amount of memory is saved since it does not use the neighbour list. The computational efficiency is improved by reducing the memory loading times and maximizing coalesced memory access as compared to methods utilizing neighbour lists, since memory bandwidth is becoming the bottle-neck of the latest GPUs. As a result, MD simulations with more than 50 million atoms utilizing advanced three-body interaction potential are made possible on a consumer graphics card with just 11 GB of graphics memory. The proposed framework is designed to run totally on the graphics card, with all the data stored in the graphics memory to avoid the time-consuming data transfer between host and device. It achieves 2.5 times the speed and 20 times the atom number of the latest Lammps GPU package on the NVIDIA GTX 1080Ti GPU. The proposed framework is expected to help adapt existing MD packages for supporting large scale MD simulations on personal desktops and thereby extend MD to a wider range of researchers and engineers.
Thermal error is one of the main errors in ultra-precision machine tools. This paper presents a thermodynamics-based structure optimization method to reduce the thermal displacements of machine tools during operation. The method makes use of the thermal–structure coupled model to analyze the thermal behavior considering the thermal contact resistance and the temperature rise of the oil film in hydrostatic spindle. The structure of the motor link, spindle, and headstock of grinder are optimized by setting appropriate gaps in the contact region of two neighboring parts to change the heat transfer distribution and minimize the thermal displacement of the spindle center position. The proposed method is validated by an equivalent thermal conductivity-based simulation method and experiment on an ultra-precision grinding machine tool. Experimental results show that the proposed method can provide an important instruction on how to reduce the thermal error for the design of the precision machine tools, especially for those with key parts placed near the heat sources.
Although four-dimensional (4D) light field imaging has many advantages over traditional two-dimensional (2D) imaging, its high computation cost often hinders the application of this technique in many fields, such as object detection and tracking. This paper presents a hybrid method to accelerate the object detection in light field imaging by integrating the deep learning with the depth estimation algorithm. The method takes full advantage of computation imaging of the light field to generate an all-in-focus image, a series of focal stacks, and multi-view images at the same time, and convolutional neural network and defocusing are consequently used to perform initial detection of the objects in three-dimensional (3D) space. The estimated depths of the detected objects are further optimized based on multi-baseline super-resolution stereo matching while efficiency is maintained, as well by compressing the searching space of the disparity. Experimental studies are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
This paper proposed a human–machine integrated conceptual design method based on ontology, aiming at eliminating the uncertainties and blindness during the design process of ultra-precision grinding machine, especially for its key component–the ultra-precision hydrostatic guideways. Both the required knowledge and the database of hydrostatic guideways are modelled using ontologies to provide a consensual understanding among collaborators. Moreover, a formalized knowledge searching interface is developed to obtain similar instances as references according to the design principles and rules. Based on the imaginal thinking theory, the search process and the results are attempted to be presented in the form of image in order to fit human's customary intuitive thinking frame, facilitating the decision making process. Finally, our design of hydrostatic guideways for an ultra-precision grinding machine is used to validate the effectiveness of the method.
Despite of the rapid development of computer science and information technology, human-machine integrated design of complex mechatronic products is still not fully accomplished, partly because of the inharmonious communication among collaborators. Therefore, one challenge in human-machine integration is how to establish an appropriate knowledge management (KM) model to support integration and sharing of heterogeneous product knowledge. Aiming at the diversity of design knowledge, this paper proposes an ontology-based model to reach at an unambiguous and normative representation of the knowledge. Firstly, an ontology-based human-machine integrated design framework is described, then corresponding ontologies and sub-ontologies are established according to different purposes and scopes. Secondly, a similarity calculation-based ontology integration method composed of ontology mapping and ontology merging is introduced. The ontology searching-based knowledge sharing method is then developed. Finally, a case of human-machine integrated design of a large ultra-precision grinding machine is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
This paper proposes an ontology-based design method which integrates human's knowledge and experience with computer's inference and computational capabilities for the spindle of ultra-precision grinding machine. A complete design framework is initiated based on a unify ontology base, which is built to integrate human's experience with computer's database. The spindle's bearing and drive type are automatically selected by defining the experience-based fuzzy inference rules, and applying the similarity-based instance search method. After the geometric model and finite element model are conducted, the static, dynamic and thermodynamic behaviors of the spindle are optimized. Consequently, the design indices of the spindle of an ultra-precision grinding machine have been satisfied successfully.
Thermal conductivity is the decisive factor in the accuracy analysis of thermal deformation, which is one of the key reasons affecting the precision of ultra-precision machine. In order to ensure the accuracy of temperature field distribution analysis and improve the machine precision, a thermal conductivity analysis model based on thermodynamic theory and a structure optimization method of machine tools through the finite element analysis are presented. To improve the analysis accuracy of the thermal conductivity, free electron gas model and Debye model are applied to calculate the thermal conductivity of main materials of ultra-precision optical machine tools. The temperature field distribution of spindle, carriage and bed can be obtained through the finite element analysis software such as ANSYS. Based on the study of temperature rise law of the spindle and the complete machine, a structure optimization method of ultra-precision optical machine is finally presented in the error sensitive direction by reducing the contact area between the motor,spindle and carriage, optimizing the connections between the motor,spindle and carriage. As a result, the thermal deformation is reduced and the machine accuracy is improved.
