In order to investigate the variation of indoor carbon dioxide concentration and how it changes with human activities, a tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) system was used to monitor the indoor CO2 concentration. Based on Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy double frequency detection (WMS-2f), the 2v1+v3 characteristic line (4991.26 cm-1) of CO2 was measured by a DFB laser. The measured concentration values were calibrated by means of a cell filled with reference gas. The results show that the daily average indoor CO2 concentrations is about 419ppm which is slightly higher than that of the outdoor and the changing range is between 380ppm and 510ppm in a day. The indoor CO2 concentration was influenced by the change of ventilation and indoor staff. The respiration of the indoor staff makes a greater impact on a relatively confined indoor CO2 concentration. The CO2 increasing rate is measured to be 80ppm/hour in the case of occupant density of 0.06 people/m3. Therefore, the staff crowded indoor should ventilate timely to prevent excessive CO2 causing people discomfort.
The phase-based image matching is effective for both iris and palm recognition tasks. Hence, we can expect that the approach may be useful for multimodal biometric system having palmprint and iris recognition capabilities. This paper investigates the fusion of palmprint and iris biometric at image level. A new image fusion algorithm named Baud limited image product (BLIP) especially for phase-based image matching is proposed. Based on this, a new multi-biometric fusion scheme at image level that combines BLIP and phase-based image matching is proposed. The effective region of iris and palm images are first extracted respectively, then they are fused into one small size image using BLIP, finally matched with the template using phase-based image matching to get a score. The experimental results show that this new scheme can not only improve the system accuracy performance, but also reduce the memory size used to store the template and time consumed by the matching.
We measured the transient wavelength and line width of distributed feedback (DFB) diode laser by the short fiber
delayed self-heterodyne (FDSH) interferometer. Experimental results have shown that the beat frequency signal and
power spectrum were consistent with the theory. The beat frequency was measured from 20mA to 120mA injection
current. The emission wavelength and linewidth dependence on injection current where the laser heat sink temperature,
T, was held constant at temperature T=-5 degress Celsius, namely, tuning characteristics of transient were obtained. We
compared the transient characteristics with the static one of the DFB diode laser. The results showed that the deviation
was about 0.4nm. This meant that, in most cases the transient wavelength and line width of diode laser could not be
substituted by the static one of the diode laser. This innovative feature was helpful to improve the accuracy of laser
systems based on multi-gas sensing.
