From all-round academic master to chief scientist - Chapter 217 The first person in the lithography team

Soon, the person came back with a laptop, opened it, and found the problem they encountered.

As they said before, the problem they want to solve is an algorithmic problem.

“Our purpose is to analyze and process an existing image to make an originally blurry image clearer. If this function can be achieved, it will be used in satellite maps, image processing, medical imaging and other places in the future. All can be used.”

“After this project is completed, if the patent is licensed in the future, we may earn tens of millions every year.”

Kong Huaan introduced their project to Lin Xiao, and then continued to introduce their problems.

Lin Xiaoze took over the computer, looked at their mind maps first, and listened to Kong Huaan’s words while analyzing their ideas.

Analytical imaging algorithms are also a relatively common direction in imaging algorithms, and the development of this innovative algorithm is undoubtedly inseparable from one problem, that is, mathematics.

In the development of algorithms, the study of mathematics is always indispensable. After all, the algorithm itself is composed of mathematical logic, just like the basis of computers are binary numbers, and then study how to play with these binary numbers. Come up with different tricks.

The same is true in analytical imaging of photos.

Today’s photos are all digital imaging, just like the previous film cameras and current digital cameras. Film cameras are processed through film sensitivity, while digital cameras convert optical data into binary numbers and then hand them over to the internal computer. Processing, in this process, the algorithm also plays an important role.

“Now, our idea is to lattice all the pixels of the image and automatically analyze the different layers. That is to analyze and study the various image elements inside, and then refine the pixels in some of the blurred parts. .”

“We have already figured out the automatic analysis layer algorithm, but the refined processing algorithm is still a problem. We have built many mathematical models to discuss, but they are not very good. Compared with the results of other companies in the industry, they are not leading. .”

Listening to Kong Huaan’s introduction, Lin Xiao nodded slightly. He had studied computers and could understand what Kong Huaan meant.

He opened the mathematical models that Kong Huaan and the others had built, briefly looked at them, and then began to think.

For digital images, if you fully enlarge it, you can see what its pixels look like. The color of each pixel is different. These pixels are distributed according to RGB, that is, the three colors of red, green and blue. All the colors in nature can be composed, and then different colors are combined and arranged to form a complete image. The image is blurred, that is, the pixels are confused.

“So, we have to deal with these blurry pixels.”

Lin Xiao touched his chin and started thinking.

Although alcohol has affected his brain, when he thinks about the problem again, he will still directly enter an immersive state.

A little alcohol can’t paralyze his thinking speed.

When the people around saw Lin Xiao starting to think, they all remained silent.

Everyone wanted to know how Lin Xiao, who looked a little drunk after drinking, could still think about a mathematical problem?

This just sounds a bit incredible to them, as if they want to think about a problem carefully after drinking, without even thinking about it.

But Lin Xiao in front of them was really thinking about the problem, and it seemed that he had entered the legendary “Lin Xiao time”.

In Lin Xiao’s deeds, because he suddenly entered this immersive state from time to time, completely forgetting everything around him, and after waking up, he would solve a world-wide problem, so some people called this situation “Lin Xiao Time”.

Now that Lin Xiao has entered this state again, does it mean that after he wakes up, he will be able to solve this problem?

These young people, who can be called outstanding in mathematics and computers, couldn’t help but look at each other.

“Do you think he can handle it?”

Wen Zihua, who served as chief engineer, patted Zhao Yu next to him and asked.

Zhao Yu looked at Lin Xiao thinking about the problem and replied: “Probably…I don’t know, don’t ask me.”

Wen Zihua shrugged, and then sighed: “The boss is the boss.”

Suddenly, he patted Zhao Yu again and asked in a low voice: “Tell me, what is the relationship between Lin Shen and our boss? The boss didn’t know how to smile before, and he couldn’t talk without saying anything, and he didn’t even drink. In the end, in front of Lin Shen, he was just like… a good friend?”

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes: “Don’t let the boss hear what you said. I will find bugs for your program when the time comes. Didn’t the boss say before that Lin Shen and him are friends? What’s the problem between friends like that?”

Wen Zihua: “Aren’t you curious?”

“What if you’re curious? It’s better not to think so much. It’s all thanks to the boss that we can see Lin Shen.”

“Okay.” Wen Zihua could only say.

At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly came out of his thinking state and said, “Let me take a look at your algorithm for analyzing layers.”

After hearing his words, everyone immediately paid attention. Does Lin Xiao have any ideas?

Kong Huaan began to follow the instructions, opened the program file, and showed Lin Xiao the programs inside.

Lin Xiao browsed through it and thought about it for a while in the eyes of everyone. Then he snapped his fingers and said, “Yes.”

“Give me some paper and pen.”

When Lin Xiao said this, everyone present was stunned.

What?

You already have it?

There are so many of them, eight PhDs, four masters, and their boss, a computer genius, who has been studying a problem for half a year but has not been able to figure it out. From the time you got the problem to now, it took less than half an hour. Time, already?

Even after drinking so much wine just now?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

There is no cheating method like this. It must be just a solution. How to solve it will definitely take a certain amount of time.

Although they believed Lin Shen was awesome, this kind of thing was beyond their imagination.

However, Lin Xiao needed paper and pen, so naturally someone helped him get them, so after a while, someone brought the paper and pen and handed them to Lin Xiao’s hands.

Afterwards, everyone looked at Lin Xiao. They all wanted to know to what extent Lin Xiao’s “have” meant “have”.

Lin Xiao didn’t think too much. After getting the banknotes, he started calculating.

He probably didn’t forget that there were still people around him, so he explained while writing: “Your layer analysis can actually be applied on the blur layer. We will delineate the blur without dividing it. If If the entire image is blurred, we can also delineate it differently based on the elements in different images, and then divide the entire image into different shapes.”

“After delineating these parts, we matrixed these pixels and then calculated based on the main elements…”

Lin Xiao wrote numbers one by one on the paper, and people around him looked at his calculations. Although they looked very powerful, of course, the actual results would require a run on the computer.

Just like that, Lin Xiao wrote and others read. Soon, he stopped writing.

A completely new mathematical model emerged on paper.

The next step is to input this mathematical model into the program and test its effect.

But for Lin Xiao, now that the root investigation method has been developed, will he still worry about such a simple problem?

“Well, that’s about it. Pixel processing is nothing more than processing a single pixel. Once all these pixels are listed one by one, solving the problem will be very simple.”

Listening to Lin Xiao’s words, these top students all looked at each other.

They all understand the truth, but if it were really that simple, there would probably be no problem with image processing.

An image, even a picture with a resolution of 800*600, has 480,000 pixels. It is difficult to analyze so many pixels, not to mention that the photos taken now have tens of millions of pixels, and even If there are hundreds of millions of pixels, it will be even more difficult to analyze them.

Therefore, they now feel that Lin Xiao is mocking programmers like them when he says this, but they can’t refute it yet.

Of course, Kong Huaan didn’t say anything. When he and Lin Xiao lived in the same room when he participated in the IMO training team, he knew not to compete with Lin Xiao in mathematics.

Can’t compare.

Looking at the mathematical model written by Lin Xiao, he said: “Thank you, we will try to calculate it later.”

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said: “Let’s go and try it now. I will also go to see your company.”

“Don’t you want to eat?”

“Don’t eat, I’m already full.”

“OK.”

Kong Huaan didn’t hesitate, and he wasn’t someone who cared about such things.

Then he said to Wen Zihua and others: “Okay, let’s go back to the company and start building our program.”

“good!”

These people responded one after another.

There was also some impatience in their tone.

Although Lin Xiao built a mathematical model so quickly and it looked very powerful, after all, this kind of thing that needs to be applied to the program still needs to be seen to see how it works after it is actually run.

A program may only be able to run due to a bug, and a complete mathematical model, even if it can solve the final problem, may not achieve the desired effect.

Therefore, whether Lin Xiao’s mathematical model is good or not depends on the actual results.

Then, they left here and returned to their company.

Their company headquarters is located on the 18th floor of the building. There is only one floor. Of course, there are only a dozen or so employees, so one floor is more than enough.

Entering the company, Lin Xiao first saw their company name.

Anhua Network Technology Co., Ltd. has a very simple name, the same as Kong Huaan’s name.

As for the company environment, it is quite good. The interior decoration has the feel of an Internet technology company.

Soon, Lin Xiao followed them to their studio.

Each computer looks different, obviously not uniform, but caters to different people’s habits.

Without further ado, the programmers got to work.

Because Lin Xiao’s mathematical model is not complicated, for these excellent programmers, it can be completed in about one or two hours.

Lin Xiao looked at it briefly and then stopped paying attention. Instead, he entered Kong Huaan’s office and looked inside first.

When he saw Lin Xiao come in, Kong Huaan didn’t take any more care and let Lin Xiao watch by himself.

However, Lin Xiao just looked at it casually for a few times, then came directly behind Kong Huaan and said, “Kong Huaan, I have a question for you.”

“Huh?” Kong Hua’an was stunned, “What’s the problem?”

Lin Xiao thought for a while and whispered: “Have you ever thought about other aspects of programming development in the past?”

“Which procedure?”

“For example, a photolithography machine.”

Kong Huaan was stunned, and his eyes suddenly showed excitement: “Are you going to study this thing?”

Lin Xiao didn’t say it clearly, but just said: “Just tell me whether you want it or not.”

Kong Huaan said: “I listen to you.”

Lin Xiao couldn’t laugh or cry: “Don’t listen to me, listen to yourself.”

Kong Huaan smiled and said: “If you really want to study that thing, of course I am willing, because I also want to provide some help to our country.”

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted his shoulder, “Okay, I will contact you later.”

“Yes.” Kong Hua’an nodded and said, “I will study this aspect in the future.”

“good.”

Lin Xiao said no more.

However, Kong Huaan’s agreement also means that his lithography machine team officially has its first member.

I revised my paper late yesterday, and I just finished typing it now. I’m sorry.
