被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：0.00(Chemistry, Physical)The phase transition from supercooled water to ice is closely related to the electrochemical performance and lifetime of an energy device at sub-zero temperatures. Fuel cells for automotive face this issue because they are frequently started and stopped under sub-zero conditions. In this study, we developed an operando neutron imaging system to visualise the water distribution inside an automotive single cell simulating a fuel cell stack during cold starts.

This paper describes a three-dimensional (3D) modeling method for sequentially and spatially understanding situations in unknown environments from an image sequence acquired from a camera. The proposed method chronologically divides the image sequence into sub-image sequences by the number of images, generates local 3D models from the sub-image sequences by the Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereo (SfM-MVS), and integrates the models. Images in each sub-image sequence partially overlap with previous and subsequent sub-image sequences. The local 3D models are integrated into a 3D model using transformation parameters computed from a camera trajectory estimated by the SfM-MVS. In our experiment, we quantitatively compared the quality of integrated models with a 3D model generated from all images in a batch and the computational time to obtain these models using three real data sets acquired from a camera. Consequently, the proposed method can generate a quality integrated model that is compared with a 3D model using all images in a batch by the SfM-MVS and reduce the computational time.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：62.87(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Antiferromagnetic (AF) order of UPtGa with the ordering temperature 
= 26 K was investigated by resonant X-ray scattering and neutron diffraction on single crystals. This compound possesses a unique crystal structure in which uranium ions form honeycomb layers and then stacks along the c-axis with slight offset, which gives rise to a stacking disorder. The AF order can be described with the propagation vector of q = (1/6, 1/6, 0) in the hexagonal notation. The ordered magnetic moments orient perpendicular to the honeycomb layers, indicating a collinear spin structure consistent with Ising-like anisotropy. The magnetic reflections are found to be broadened along c
indicating that the stacking disorder results in anisotropic correlation lengths. The semiquantitative analysis of neutron diffraction intensity, combined with group theory considerations based on the crystallographic symmetry, suggests a zig-zag type magnetic structure for the AF ground state, in which the AF coupling runs perpendicular to the stacking offset, characterized as q = (1, 0, 0). The realization of the zig-zag magnetic structure implies the presence of frustrating intralayer exchange interactions involving both ferromagnetic (FM) first-neighbor and AF second and third-neighbor interactions in this compound.

The automotive industry aims to ensure the cold-start capability of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) for developing fuel cell electric vehicles that can be driven in cold climates. Water and ice behavior is a key factor in maintaining this capability. Previously reported methods for visualizing water and/or ice are limited to small-sized PEFCs ( 
50 cm
), while fuel cell electric vehicles are equipped with larger PEFCs. Here, we developed a system using a pulsed spallation neutron beam to visualize water distribution and identify water/ice phases in practical-sized PEFCs at a cold start. The results show direct evidence of a stepwise freezing behavior inside the PEFC. The produced water initially accumulated at the center of the PEFC and then froze, followed by PEFC shutdown as freezing progressed. This study can serve as a reference to guide the development of cold-start protocols, cell design, and materials for next-generation fuel cell electric vehicles.

During the decommissioning activities, a movie was shot inside the reactor building during the investigation of the primary containment vessel by applying photogrammetry, which is one of the methods for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction from images, to the images from this movie, it is feasible to perform 3D reconstruction of the environment around the primary containment vessel. However, the images from this movie may not be suitable for 3D reconstruction because they were shot remotely by robots owing to limited illumination, high-dose environments, etc. Moreover, photogrammetry has the disadvantage of easily changing 3D reconstruction results by simply changing the shooting conditions. Therefore, this study investigated the accuracy of the 3D reconstruction results obtained by photogrammetry with changes in the camera angle of view under shooting conditions. In particular, we adopted 3D computer graphics software to simulate shooting target objects for 3D reconstruction in a dark environment while illuminating them with light for application in decommissioning activities. The experimental results obtained by applying artificial images generated by simulation to the photogrammetry method showed that more accurate 3D reconstruction results can be obtained when the camera angle of view is neither too wide nor too narrow when the target objects are shot and surrounded. However, the results showed that the accuracy of the obtained results is low during linear trajectory shooting when the camera angle of view is wide.

This paper describes an automatic system that performs three-dimensional (3D) modeling from image sequences acquired from a camera during a survey to understand the state of the environment sequentially. The developed system sequentially generates local 3D models from image sequences acquired from a camera by the Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereo (SfM-MVS) and integrates the models. This system, consisting of a camera, a computer, and storage, handles streaming, image acquisition, 3D modeling, and integration processes. The system is designed to perform each process in parallel while performing image acquisition. Local 3D models are integrated based on the similarity of camera trajectories, which correspond to overlapped images in each sequence, estimated from SfM. Our experiments verified the operation of the developed system from the image acquisition to the integration of local 3D models in two cases. Consequently, we confirmed that an integrated model could be generated by automatically executing each process in the system through experiments.

Heating tests remain the most prominent source of safety issues. However, information on the phenomena occurring inside batteries during heating has remained inaccessible. In this study, we demonstrate the first in situ neutron imaging method to observe the internal structural deformation of LIBs during heating. We developed an airtight Al chamber specially designed to prevent radioactive contamination during in situ neutron imaging. We successfully observed the liquid electrolyte fluctuation inside a battery sample and the deformation of the protective plastic film upon heating up to thermal runaway.

This paper describes a method that integrates Three-Dimensional (3D) environment models reconstructed from image sequences to reduce the computation time of 3D environment modeling that estimates camera poses and simultaneously reconstructs a 3D environment model from images based on photogrammetry. However, 3D environment modeling is time-consuming when using many images because it finds correspondence points between them by feature matching. Therefore, we assume that the computation time is reduced by reconstructing 3D environment models from image sequences divided from an image sequence because the number of images used in 3D environment modeling becomes less. However, it is difficult to integrate the 3D environment models because the scale between them may not be the same, and overlapping regions between 3D environment models are small for integrating the models. In this paper, we propose a method that integrates 3D environment models based on camera trajectories corresponding to overlapped images between image sequences used in 3D environment modeling. To integrate them, transformation parameters are calculated from poses of camera trajectories between 3D environment models. After that, the transformed camera trajectory is aligned using coarse and fine registration. Consequently, compared with 3D environment modeling that processes an image sequence in batch, the proposed method could reduce the computation time and reconstruct a comparable integrated model.

This paper reports on an automatic process for 3D environmental modeling from acquired image sequences. We have studied methods of 3D environment modeling to understand unknown environments. However, 3D environment modeling using acquired image sequences is a time-consuming task. When 3D environment modeling is performed using image sequences acquired in an unknown environment, the generated models do not always produce the expected result. Therefore, we consider that the quality of the generated 3D environment models could be quickly verified by realizing the sequential presentation of the generated models. To verify the effectiveness of the automatic process, we implemented it under different execution environments. Consequently, the automatic process could generate a 3D environment model from acquired image sequences.

This experiment was conducted using BL22, RADEN, in the Material and Life Science Experimental Facility of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. The transmission images of the reinforced concrete sample were taken at several positions on the vertical sample stage, and the displacement of the marker from the initial position was successfully evaluated within approximately 
0.1 mm accuracy by image analysis for selected markers with higher contrast and circularity. Furthermore, concrete deformation under pull-out loading to the embedded rebar was evaluated by the same way, and its reaction compressive deformation was successfully observed by analyzing the displacement of the markers. The results obtained in this study bring beneficial knowledge that the measurement accuracy of the marker displacement can be improved more by choosing a spherical shape of the marker and by increasing the contrast of the marker.
