Abstract:A highly efficient and adaptive way of extracting observed starts from the sky is proposed according to the characteristics of celestial coordinates for real-time computer simulation of star images. By calculating the vertical FOV span to ameliorate the zoning method, an improved zoning method is proposed for identification of nodes in the zone of celestial sphere. Measures to improve its efficiency further, such as shortening span of zone, coordinate transformation, and two-step extraction, are discussed as well. Analyses indicate that the method proposed is highly efficient and adaptive, and suitable for real-time simulation of star images, and its logic description is simple to program.

Abstract:The drift adjusting rotary axes of space camera mainly provides the angular motion control of the camera in the horizontal direction, and performs the real-time control of azimuthal drift to realize the image motion compensation in the photo-taking process. The drift adjusting rotary axes determine to a large extent the photo-taking accuracy and the drift control accuracy of a camera. For the utilization of the plane of highly rigid external pedestal as the orbital plane of the thrust bearing, and the adoption of composite enclosed design in both radial and axial directions, the structure of rotary axes features light mass, free rotation and high rotational accuracy. A number of factors having effect on the accuracy of rotary axes, such as radial runout and angular swing, are discussed, and a quantitative analysis has also been made for the axial shaking error resulting from the form and position errors of the rotary axis components. The measured shaking error of the rotary axes indicated that the accuracy of the axes selected is 3.8", and satisfies the general technical specification of being within 5".

Abstract:In the LAMOST(Large Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscope Telescope)project, 4 000 optical fibers are mounted on a focal plane of 1.75 m in diameter, the position precision is less than 40 microns, and the positioning time is less than 30 minutes. By analyzing the typical method of positioning optical fibers for astronomic observation and taking into consideration the structural characteristics and the operating requirements of LAMOST, a new plan has been brought forward for positioning of optical fibers in a local plane divided into many unit zones. The unit turns round through 360°, and the locomotive block moves in a linear guide in every unit zone. So the optical fiber can reach everywhere in the focal plane. Experiment results show that the standard deviation of repeat error and positioning error are 22.17 μm and 30.71 μm rms, respectively, and the positioning precision of this system can meet the demand.

Abstract:Whether a high-speed visual image system can do high-speed photography to satisfy the recording need is a hot topic for researchers in the range test field. This involves several issues, such as image field, detection distance, and information acquisition capability, and detection distance is the core issue for necessary consideration. It is concluded from the analyses of the factors having effect on detection distance in the two systems that, in a high-speed and high resolution visual image system, there is a contradiction between frame rate, resolution, and SNR. SNR decreases as frame rate and resolution increase, and SNR is the primary factor which limits the system detection distance, and therefore, a high-speed visual image system can not reach the same distance as a high-speed photography system.

Simulation results showed that composed Kalman leap prediction method can be applied to a theodolite for tracking mobile targets.

Abstract:Discrete chaos is used to generate cipher systems because it is easy to create, sensitive to initial value and similar to white noise of statistical nature. A "quasi-Feistel network" algorithm is designed using discrete chaotic maps for image encryption/decryption. All secret keys of the algorithm are generated by different chaotic maps, and this improves difficulty of decryption. Permutation and substitution consist of SP networks with good cipher performance. Permutation is also controlled by cipher to improve algorithm complexity. Safety is enhanced by the output of encryption which strongly depends on nonlinear coupled secret keys. All of white text is encrypted during each iteration of "quasi-Feistel network", and this improves the encryption efficiency. Finally, a simulation test is conducted by taking the image Pout in Matlab as an example, and the simulation results show that the algorithm proposed possesses perfect safety and efficiency.  
Abstract:Integer wavelet transform based on lifting scheme and its implementation on hardware are discussed in theory, and IWT of filters LEGall(5,3)and Sweldens(13,7)usually used in image coding are implemented on TI TMS320c6000DSP, and then the discrete wavelet transform based on filter bank scheme is implemented on DSP. The comparison of IWT with DWT in hardware operating time shows that IWT is always faster than DWT. The results reported on the graphs can be used to estimate the number of images processed by these algorithms per second and to assess the performance of DSP in fulfilling image coding tasks. So the IWT based on lifting scheme is an algorithm with higher execution speed and it is easier to implement on hardware, and it can be used to achieve compression of image without loss.

Abstract:The nonuniformity of IR focal plane array, which causes image faint, greatly limited some industrial applications so that the nonuniformity must be corrected prior to the application of infrared imaging technique. A multi-point correction method, which makes use of the powerful computational capability and good programmability of TMS320C6201 DSP hardware, is therefore proposed to do automatically the real-time correction of infrared image nonuniformity. Experimental results showed that the infrared image nonuniformity real-time correction system based on DSP can do the correction in a simple way with satisfactory results.  
Abstract:The statistical characteristics of remote sensing image are studied by using wavelet transform and presented definition of similarity for wavelet coefficient. The general distribution rule of wavelet transform coefficient and basic characteristics of remote sensing images, such as lesser similarity, complicated and abundant texture, lesser redundancy degree, are indicated by experiments, which are not beneficial to compression in high fidelity. The wavelet transform coefficient of remote sensing image has stronger local similarity, hereby a version of combining of DPCM with SPIHT is presented. The experimental results show that the new compression scheme performs better than SPIHT arithmetic in terms of image reconstruction quality and encoding/decoding speed.

Abstract:An effective 3-D finite element model was constructed for the field emission array to analyse the field emission current over a single tip. Considering the periodicity of field emission array and the axial symmetry of the single tip model, only 1/4 of the single tip model was analyzed. The electric field intensity distribution over the tip surface was established through calculation with appropriate voltage boundary condition applied, and it was found that the electric field intensity was the strongest at the apex of the tip, and the field emission current was also the strongest there. The field emission current density distribution over the tip surface was established using Fowler-Nordheim function, and the emission current over the single tip established by integrating the current density all over the single tip surface was 7 μA. Field emission currents were calculated for different apex radii at the gate voltage of 100V, and the results indicated that the field emission largely depends on the apex radius. Total field emission currents were calculated for 100 tips with an apex radius of 8 nm at different gate voltages, and the results indicated that both emission currents and opening voltages were in very good agreement with actual measurements.  
Abstract:Theories and technologies of extreme ultraviolet, soft X-ray and X-ray regions have made great progress since 1970s, and multilayer mirrors have found wide applications in astronomy, microscopy, material science, synchrotron radiation applications, and plasma diagnostics for their high-reflectivity and good stability, however, they have a poor spectral resolution for X-ray fluorescent measurement and synchrotron radiation monochromator. The spectral resolution of the multilayer must be improved for some high spectral resolution measurements. The spectral resolution can be improved by etching the multilayer into a multilayer grating at different etching ratios by the average density calculation method. W/C multilayers were fabricated by magnetron sputtering and the multilayer gratings were made by normal optical lithography. The results measured by grazing-angle X-ray diffraction show that the multilayer structure in an etched multilayer grating has not been destroyed and the spectral resolution has been improved, which demonstrates that methods proposed for making etched multilayer gratings are suitable for further research.

Abstract:In order to search for an economical high depth-width ratio micro-fabrication method and build up an excimer laser direct etching system, the relationship between average etching velocity and laser pulse energy density during excimer laser direct etching was investigated by using KrF excimer laser with a wavelength of 248 nm to ablate and etch glass material accurately located with a high-precision micro-motion controlling system. Experimental results showed that all the yielded grooves are V-grooves; the single laser pulse etching velocity decreases as the number of laser pulses increases; the depth of the yielded grooves becomes constant when the laser pulses add up to a definite number, there is an upper limit threshold for excimer laser pulse energy density in the etching process; and rectangular deep grooves or cylindrical deep holes can be produced by using parallel laser beams or dynamic control of etching process.  
Abstract:The selection of PID parameters has direct effect on the controller performance and the man-work tuning needs much experience and skills, and plenty of time as well.

In comparison with conventional PID temperature control system, this temperature control system features high control precision, good adaptability, simple structure and less computation. The simulation shows its validity and practicability.
