In recent years, cross-domain few-shot learning (CDFSL) has demonstrated remarkable performance in hyperspectral image classification (HSIC), partially alleviating the distribution shift problem. However, most domain adaptation methods rely on similarity metrics to establish cross-domain class matching, making it difficult to simultaneously account for intra-class sample size variations and inherent inter-class differences. To address this problem, existing studies have introduced a class weighting mechanism within the prototype network framework, determining class weights by calculating inter-sample similarity through distance metrics. However, this method suffers from a dual limitation: susceptibility to noise interference and insufficient capacity to capture global class variations, which may lead to distorted weight allocation and consequently result in alignment bias. To solve these issues, we propose a novel class-discrepancy dynamic weighting-based cross-domain FSL (CDDW-CFSL) framework. It integrates three key components: (1) the class-weighted domain adaptation (CWDA) method dynamically measures cross-domain distribution shifts using global class mean discrepancies. It employs discrepancy-sensitive weighting to strengthen the alignment of critical categories, enabling accurate domain adaptation while maintaining feature topology; (2) the class mean refinement (CMR) method incorporates class covariance distance to compute distribution discrepancies between support set samples and class prototypes, enabling the precise capture of cross-domain feature internal structures; (3) a novel multi-dimensional feature extractor that captures both local spatial details and continuous spectral characteristics simultaneously, facilitating deep cross-dimensional feature fusion. The results in three publicly available HSIC datasets show the effectiveness of the CDDW-CFSL.

Accurate quantification of metallic contaminants in rocket exhaust plumes serves as a critical diagnostic indicator for engine wear monitoring. This paper develops a hybrid method combining atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) theory with a genetic algorithm (GA) optimized backpropagation (BP) network to quantify the metallic element concentrations in liquid-propellant rocket exhaust plumes. The proposed method establishes linearized intensity–concentration mapping through the introduction of a photon transmission factor, which is derived from radiative transfer theory and experimentally calibrated via AES measurement. This critical innovation decouples the inherent nonlinearities arising from self-absorption artifacts. Through the use of the transmission factor, the training dataset for the BP network is systematically constructed by performing spectral simulations of atomic emissions. Finally, the trained network is employed to predict the concentration of metallic elements from the measured atomic emission spectra. These spectra are generated by introducing a solution containing metallic elements into a CH₄-air premixed jet flame. The predictive accuracy of the method is rigorously evaluated through 32 independent experimental trials. Results show that the quantification error of metallic elements remains within 6%, and the method exhibits robust performance under conditions of spectral self-absorption, demonstrating its reliability for rocket engine health monitoring applications.

This study presents a flame detection model that is based on real experimental data that were collected during turbopump hot-fire tests of a liquid rocket engine. In these tests, a MEMRECAM ACS-1 M40 high-speed camera—serving as an optical sensor within the test instrumentation system—captured plume images for analysis. To detect abnormal flame phenomena in the plume, a Gaussian support vector machine (SVM) model was developed using image features that were derived from both color and gradient information. Six representative frames containing visible flames were selected from a single test failure video. These images were segmented in the YCbCr color space using the k-means clustering algorithm to distinguish flame and non-flame pixels. A 10-dimensional feature vector was constructed for each pixel and then reduced to five dimensions using the Maximum Relevance Minimum Redundancy (mRMR) method. The reduced vectors were used to train the Gaussian SVM model. The model achieved a 97.6% detection accuracy despite being trained on a limited dataset. It has been successfully applied in multiple subsequent engine tests, and it has proven effective in detecting ablation-related anomalies. By combining real-world sensor data acquisition with intelligent image-based analysis, this work enhances the monitoring capabilities in rocket engine development.
