Abstract:For the purpose of validate a new stitching algorithm —Sub-Aperture Stitching and Localization algorithm(SASL algorithm),this paper describes a measuring and figuring experiment of the SiC flat mirror whose shape is elliptical (225mm long in major axis, 161mm long in minor axis). First, a comparative experiment of sub-aperture stitching test with full-aperture interferometry on a 100mm diameter flat mirror is presented, in order to determine the parameter of the algorithm the precision requirement of the stitching equipment. This is followed by a successful sub-aperture stitching process for the SiC flat mirror, which contains 5 iterations of Ion Beam Figuring (IBF) process and the ultimate testing. In this process, sub-aperture stitching test offers the surface error data precisely to IBF, which ensures the quick convergence of the process to achieve a final surface error of 50nm RMS. The experiment shows that SASL algorithm relaxes the precision requirement of the stitching equipment and reduces the influence of stitching process to the result.

Abstract:A design method for planar waveguide concave diffraction gratings is presented in the paper, which is named Modified Recursive Definition of Facet Positions. The method is based on a modification of Recursive Definition of Facet Positions. We can design the planar waveguide concave diffraction gratings accurately by using this method, especially for some special grating structures. The central position of grating facets can be presented by two constraint functions, and its numerical solution is derived from a recursive formula approach. To improve the accuracy of computation, a Newton iteration procedure is introduced in the recursive approach while computing each facet position. Two typical design examples, a flat-filed mount and a flat-top mount, are given to assess the necessity of adopting Newton iteration procedure subsequently. The simulative results prove the modification is crucial for the accurate definition of grating facet position.
Abstract:Fourier telescope is an imaging technique in which the Fourier spectrum of an object is built up by sweeping fringe patterns of varying spatial frequency and orientation over the object. The modulated scattered radiation that results is collected by a non-imaging detector. We have performed a laboratory demonstration of Fourier telescope in order to confirm the validity of the fundamental measurement concept and the image reconstruction method. We show experimentally obtained images and compare them to simulated images. On-going experiments will characterize the consequences of less-than-ideal measurement conditions. Our ultimate application is the imaging of geosynchronous satellites.
Abstract:Accurate pointing on space object is the base of many spaceflight missions. It is hard for a single detector to obtain high acquisition probability of high speed object in various space backgrounds.

Abstract:Duo-membrane box was used as sensing component for atmospheric pressure. A micrometric displacement sensor with optical fiber was employed to inspect deformation of membrane box with air pressure changing, in order to avoid the defects in inspecting deformation, or improve and optimize performances of the sensors. A two-path optical fiber sensor was utilized to increase sensitivity and measure little changing in air pressure. The relation between optical fiber sensor output changes and atmospheric pressure changes was standardized with a standard air pressure gauge. A setup for measuring atmospheric pressure was formed. The experimental results indicate that measurement range is 900-1200hpa, resolution is 0.2hpa, and accuracy is ±0.1hPa. The measurement area position on air pressure may be changed via the changing of beginning of distance between optical detector and reflection face. Optimization of optical fiber detector parameters is necessaries to spread measurement range on atmospheric pressure.

Abstract:Movement precision is a crucial parameter for a micromanipulation of microrobot. An omni-directional mobile microrobot for microassembly in a microfactory is presented. The microrobot size is less than one cubic centimeter and is driven by four electromagnetic micromotors with 3 mm diameter. As two important aspects for the microrobot precision, the structure design and control are analyzed. The structure analysis includes the transmission system and the wheels fabrication. The virtues and drawbacks of the microrobot structure for the movement precision are also analyzed. For eliminating the influences of the drawbacks of the microrobot structure, some novel control methods and ideas which include the path planning and micromotors control are introduced. In the path planning control, the whole workspace is divided into four areas in which the moving distances of the microrobot are different. This path planning method is designed to solve the non-linear problem of the microrobot during translational movement. According the structure constrains of the electromagnetic micromotor, the vector synthesis control of the torque is devised and the torque self-balance characteristic is utilized to improve the microrobot precision. Presently, the microrobot can be achieve 0.07mm/step during translation, and 0.83°/setp during steering, which is three times compared with common control method. The microrobot can do simple microassembly micromanipulation supervised by a computer vision system. The microassembly experiment result demonstrates the validity of these microrobot control methods and concepts based on the actual characteristics of the microrobot structure.

Abstract:It is very difficult to measure and monitor the shape of solar array as well as the flexible surface. The sensor array has been configured using fiber bragg grating (FBG) sensors which built a sensor network with the technology of spatial-division-multiplexing (SDM) and wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) in the paper. The number of sensors was determined according to the wave transmitting theory and the demodulation scope of the device. The distribution for those sensors that are embedded is based on the strain of the solar array. The sensor distributed at the top of the surface shape. The sensor is dense if the strain is great but in reverse is sparse. Based on the finite element analysis of the surface, the sensors network of the surface that emulated the solar array was implemented. Furthermore, the precision of the sensors array system has been calibrated. The experiment shows that there was a linear relationship for FBG sensors. The distribution of the sensors was in reason and the sensor network could measure many shapes of the solar array. The error of sensors measurement is only 0.4 percent and the errors of the flexible surface measurement is four percent if the length of FBG packaging is less than forty millimeter.

The analytical expressions for uncertainty propagation during reconstructing a 3D point are proposed. At last, the results of an experiment with synthetic data are validated using Monte Carlo Simulation, and some typical application examples are presented.
Abstract:According to the disadvantage of the large computation of the stereo matching algorithm based on graph cuts, a new stereo matching algorithm is presented. First, adaptive window is obtained in virtue of image edge features. Second, the SSD matching method as a similarity decision criterion is introduced to determine the initial disparity map, and then left-right conformity verification is adopted to remove mistake matching points. The initial disparity is used as a reference for the function when the energy function is structured. Finally the optimization of disparity distribution is obtained to achieve the minimum global energy by graph cuts algorithm. Experimental results based on standard stereo image rig are compared with other methods and demonstrate that not only the proposed algorithm has better performance of processing the large low texture areas and the occluded pixels, but also running time is short and two-thirds faster than the original algorithm. It can satisfy the demands of engineering practices completely.
