Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Visual Object Tracking challenge VOT2019 is the seventh annual tracker benchmarking activity organized by the VOT initiative. Results of 81 trackers are presented; many are state-of-the-art trackers published at major computer vision conferences or in journals in the recent years. The evaluation included the standard VOT and other popular methodologies for short-term tracking analysis as well as the standard VOT methodology for long-term tracking analysis. The VOT2019 challenge was composed of five challenges focusing on different tracking domains: (i) VOT-ST2019 challenge focused on short-term tracking in RGB, (ii) VOT-RT2019 challenge focused on "real-time" short-term tracking in RGB, (iii) VOT-LT2019 focused on long-term tracking namely coping with target disappearance and reappearance. Two new challenges have been introduced: (iv) VOT-RGBT2019 challenge focused on short-term tracking in RGB and thermal imagery and (v) VOT-RGBD2019 challenge focused on long-term tracking in RGB and depth imagery. The VOT-ST2019, VOT-RT2019 and VOT-LT2019 datasets were refreshed while new datasets were introduced for VOT-RGBT2019 and VOT-RGBD2019. The VOT toolkit has been updated to support both standard short-term, long-term tracking and tracking with multi-channel imagery. Performance of the tested trackers typically by far exceeds standard baselines. The source code for most of the trackers is publicly available from the VOT page. The dataset, the evaluation kit and the results are publicly available at the challenge website(1).

Performance of solar PV micro-grid systems : A comparison study
- 2018
-
In: RENEWABLE ENERGY INTEGRATION WITH MINI/MICROGRID. - : ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV. ; , s. 570-575

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Two solar PV micro-grid systems were stablished in this paper to examine and investigate their operation ability according to TOU price. Battery storage was used to adjust the operation strategies and bring in different economic benefits. Heat storage and simulation loads were also chosen to simulate the load variation. The power generation of the PV was comprehensively compared in two locations with different solar resources. The power output from PV systems in Ningbo is higher than that in Sichuan under local climate conditions, the accumulated power generation in Ningbo is 40% more than the power output in Sichuan. A preliminary operation strategy shows that the micro-grid can be continuously operated in the set mode. The battery storage has the capacity to achieve the economic optimization of the micro-grid systems.

Efficient electro-demulsification of O/W emulsions and simultaneous oil removal enabled by a multiscale porous biocarbon electrode
- 2024

In: Chemical Engineering Journal. - : Elsevier BV. - 1385-8947 .- 1873-3212. ; 481

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Emulsion wastewater contain substantial amounts of oil and various additives, which pose threats to the environment and human health. Demulsification is a crucial pretreatment stage for wastewater. This study aims to identify a novel electro-demulsification method with high oil removal efficiency and low energy consumption. Modified carbonized birch wood with a unique isotropic multiscale pore structure is used as a self-standing electrode to treat a toluene oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. The electrode must have a highly porous structure to facilitate efficient water diffusion and oil adsorption. It must also have high electronic conductivity to expedite polarized molecular electrophoresis to realize penetration into the pores and, subsequently, demulsification. Guided by an applied electric field force, polarized O/W droplets are drawn toward the electrode, revealing electrical characteristics distinct from those of polarized organic molecules. This electric field force augments the capture and adhesion of droplets by the electric double layer at the electrode interface. Consequently, adsorbed droplets in close proximity to the electrode rupture due to the combined influence of the electric field force and the electrostatic effects stemming from the electrode's multiscale porous structure. This synergistic action enables demulsification to occur efficiently at low energy consumption levels. This study has revealed that electro-demulsification can effectively treat toluene emulsions stabilized by various surfactants and microemulsion containing toluene. Therefore, this electro-demulsification technology can be further developed for various types of water pollution.

The Potential of Distributed Energy Resources in Building Sustainable Campus : The Case of Sichuan University
- 2018
-
In: RENEWABLE ENERGY INTEGRATION WITH MINI/MICROGRID. - : ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV. ; , s. 582-585
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Distributed energy resources systems are decentralized, modular and more flexible technologies. These systems can comprise multiple generation and storage components. Sichuan University (SCU) has joined Global Urban Development program, and takes part in Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System, aims at a sustainable campus. So we investigated the potential of distributed energy resources, e.g. solar power, that can be used in SCU. Firstly, we build 4 micro-grids with a total 156 Kw PV capacities to collect the power generation data. The total roof area of SCU Jiangan campus is 165701 m(2), and the estimated installed capacity is 8.3MW-11.6MW. Based on this data, 33% similar to 46% power cost can be covered by PV power generation.
