Abstract:A novel speckle reduction for medical ultrasound images is presented based on the study of wavelet domain threshold-denoising and threshold-choosing. First, the logarithmic transform of the original image is decomposed into the multiscale wavelet domain. Then, semi-soft thresholding is used to reduce speckle noise. Finally, the denoised image is achieved by the invert DWT and the exponient transform of the estimated wavelet coefficients. Current state-of-the-art soft and hard thresholding methods based on universal threshold have been applied in actual ultrasound medical images. Compared with our method, the achieved performance improvement is quantified. Performance of the proposed method has been tested on Ultrasound images. The results show the method effectively reduces the speckle while preserving the edges of the original image.

Abstract:It is one of the important technologies in electronic stabilizing images to estimate the sequence of image motion. A camera mounted on a moving vehicle collects a sequence of images. We consider a vehicle’s motion to be non-smooth when impulsion or high-frequency changes occur, the non-smooth motion will perturb the sequence of images obtained by the camera. The goal of electronic stabilizing images is to estimate the motion quantities, and correct the sequence of images, so that they are approximately the same as the images that would have been obtained if the motion of the vehicle had been smooth. Using the optical flow model to process the image motion is a good method. This paper presents the basic theory and approach to calculating image motion by using the optical flow model. It shows how to derive the optical flow constraint equation, and how to use it to estimate motion quantities. Finally, It gives the vertical and horizontal displacement between the consecutive two frames and the map of optical flow vectors.
Abstract:This paper proposes an improved watermarking algorithm for high fidelity of image. While the watermark is embedded in the third level subband of wavelet domain according to neighboring symbol’s mean value and odd-even adjugement rule,the watermark embedding strength of the third level subband can be increased or decreased according to frequency characteristics of the second level subband. This is a blind watermarking which can confirm the copyright without the original image. Experimental results and attack analyses show that the watermark algorithm can produce the watermarked image which has high fidelity and is robust against some image processing operations, such as JPEG lossy compression, filtering and additive noise attacks.

Abstract:Series bending arms are composed of two piezoelectric bimorphs, one end of which is fixed and the other end is free. Driven by two signals of the biased bar with phase difference of π/2 , the free end of a cantilever arm will move along an elliptic orbit . When the cantilever is used to drive a cylinder rotator, the end of the surface contacts the free end of the cantilever, the rotator will rotate .This paper analyzes the drive mechanism and puts forward a new drive theory.A new micormotor model was designed,and its movement parameters were tested, the rotational speed being up to 110rpm, and the torque reaching about 22.5 μNm.
Abstract:A general means of data processing is a sampling method, in which continuous analog data are measured non-continuously at certain time intervals as digital data, and the median value is ignored. The sampling time intervals are determined by the sampling theorem. Since both valve and no-valve piezoelectric pumps are pumps driven in a vibration form, they send a periodic non-continuous signal to cavitation. The sampling theorem is not applicable to a non-continuous signal. For this reason, the authors developed a method to apply the cavitation in a pump driven in the piezoelectric vibration form as a periodic non- continuous signal. And a sampling system using this method was manufactured.

Abstract:This paper gives the background of the opitical code division multiple access(OCDMA) technology, compares its techniques with each other and sets forth the advantages. OCDMA features that it is asynchronous in time and frequency field, and does not need signal synchronization; it uses the same one central wave, and does not need wave-controlling; it has soft capacity and good security; it also can use optical fiber bandwidth sufficiently. The key techniques are depicted in detail on the basis of the fundament of optical code division multiple access. Finally,its applications are examined. DCDMA can realize real-time operation and free access when used in multi-media communications. Its protocol of media access is simple, overcoming "electron bottle-neck effect", therefore data-transmitting rate can reach the order of Tb/s when used in high-speed computer local area networks. In communication network, it is another option for multiplexing. In optical fiber access network, it can overcome conventional synchronization problem. When used in HFC network, it can also solve up-link bandwidth problem and release dual-direction communication. In CATV and VOD service, it can realize changing and dual-direction service. Therefore, the technique of optical code division multiple access can find wide applications in the future.
Abstract:Free-space laser communication is becoming attractive as a new wideband wireless access technology in recent years by virtue of its many advantages, such as high-bandwidth, low cost and being license-free. Laser beam can only travel a few kilometers through the atmosphere because of some limiting factors. Based on the mathematical model of free-space laser communication, this article analyses the effects of beam divergence, atmospheric attenuation, laser power and detector sensitivity on the link range. The results show that it is effective to extend the range by narrower beam divergence and higher detector sensitivity, and higher laser power is unadvisable. The analyses in this paper are helpful for system design.

Abstract:Compensation null test is a very important method in testing aspherical surface with high accuracy,in which a Zygo high accuracy digital interferometer is used. The design of a null lens is the key problem for compensation null test. In this paper, the principle of compensation null test is described. In connection with the being tested small aspherical mold surface with large NA, we developed a kind of null lens system made up of four thin lenses. The first two thin lenses form a system with very small NA mainly used to produce suitable spherical aberration; the other two form a large NA system, which together with that of the front two elements meets the null testing need. The wavefront variation of testing system due to the manufacture, test, assembly and adjustment errors is analyzed in detail. We are capable of measuring the aspherical surface to the accuracy of 0.05λ, which is enough to satisfy the testing of the mold surfaces of compact disc object lenses.
