Abstract:It is very significant to simulate non-line-of-sight (NLOS) light propagation in complex terrain. The single-scatter theory is always used to study the NLOS light propagation inland and abroad now, but only single-scattering photons are calculated approximately by the method. Furthermore, if the weather is bad or the transmission distance is large comparatively, much larger error will occur. So the single-scatter model is unfeasible when photons enter the detector inevitably by multiple scattering (two or more). In the paper, considering emission and detector don’t have the visual angle in common, the multiple-scattering theory based on Monte Carlo (MC) method is described here to calculate two typical instances: the detector and emission are in opposite directions and the visual angle of the detector is limited by the obstacles in front. Accordingly, a solution is presented in detail to simulate the light propagation when the detector and emission do not have mutual scattering-substance. And the correct results are obtained according to the comparative experimental results, which is very practicable in complicated conditions.

Abstract:In order to satisfy high precision and fast optical surface measuring, an iterative algorithm for annular subaperture stitching is discussed, this is based on the subaperture stitching and localization (SASL) algorithm. Firstly, the basic theory of annular subaperture stitching is introduced, this can be divided two parts, one is how to determine the overlapping points precisely and the other is how to find optimal configuration. Then the new problem which was arising in annular subaperture stitching, i.e., determination of the overlapping points, is studied. The detailed procedure of the iterative stitching algorithm is presented. At last, a paraboloid of 160mm aperture is tested with annular subapertures, which gives consistent result with the auto-collimated full aperture testing. The PV value is 0.186λ and the RMS value is 0.019λ. It proves that the iterative annular subaperture stitching algorithm meets the requirement for high precision testing of aspherical surfaces.

Abstract:The control method of Stretched Membrane with Electrostatic Curvature (SMEC) Mirror has advantages of simple structure and easy membrane mirror figure cybernation. Its principle is to make membrane mirror figure change with the sequence of electrostatic force to get the needed optical curvature figure. As for the complexion of membrane shaping mechanics and electrostatic field theory, there is no quantitative theory analysis in membrane shaping and mirror figure cybernation. In this article, the distribution characteristic of space electric potential is analyzed in theory, and the electrostatic force distribution is obtained by numerical calculation. Considering single electrode mode, after electrostatic force calculation with MATLAB, the membrane mirror figure is mainly inspected by finite element method. Then the analysis result of finite element method is compared with ideal paraboloid figure, the differences between them will perceptibly show that the surface shape control force in single electrode mode is simplex. To get flexible modulation, multi electrode mode control is an advisable option. It is also proposed that higher control precision can be acquired by using closed loop multi electrode control, which is instructive to the study of SMEC mirror.

Abstract:The elliptical bent crystal spectrometer (EBCS) is coupled to X-ray CCD, and a set of system (EBCS-XCCD) for measuring X-ray spectra is briefly described. The unique advantages of the elliptical crystal spectrometer for precise and absolute spectral measurement are noted. The X-ray spectrum from the laser-produced plasma has first been measured by the EBCS-XCCD on the "ShenGuang II" Facility. In order to obtain truly experimental results, an originally spectral photograph measured by the EBCS-XCCD must be calibrated. The calibration procedures for absolute line and line intensity measurement are studied and formulae of identification signal are deduced according to the geometrical parameter of the EBCS-XCCD and physical optics. The example of calibrating spectra is presented as measured with elliptical crystal of α-quartz (1010,2d = 0.852 nm ) for the 0.399 — 0.736 nm photon wavelength region. The intensity of spectrum from laser plasma X-ray source is also obtained by the formula, based on known the integrated reflectivity of the crystal, the transmission of the foil which blocks out visible and ultraviolet (UV) portions of the spectrum, and the responsivity of X-ray CCD photodiode to photons. The spectra of Al laser-produced plasma and good spectral resolution better than 1000 are shown. The unfolded spectra by the method are compared with that of the reference [1]. Their results are basically identical. It is shown that the instrument is particularly suitable for high-precision measurements of the spectral line profiles and positions in nonhomogeneous plasmas. The examples of experimental results, which are superior to those obtained in earlier measurements, demonstrate the EBCS-XCCD performance and suggest a broad field of possible application.

Abstract:In order to describe the relationship between the incident angle of cube corner retro-reflector (CCR) and the measurement accuracy of CCR using in laser tracker system, the working principle and reflective characteristic of CCR are analyzed. A novel approach has been proposed to determine the effective reflection area of CCR with an arbitrary beam incidence angle. The formula of ray cross section of CCR with incident angle varying is derived according to the effective reflective area. Accordingly, the relationship between CCR measuring accuracy and incident beam angle is established. The experimental results have demonstrated that the CCR measuring accuracy reduces as the incident angle increases, the CCR measuring error is largest when the maximal incident angle is reached. The measuring error of CCR at maximal incident angle ±35.26° is 0.050mm, but the measuring accuracy of a CCR is better than 0.010mm when the incident angle is within ±20°, and the measuring accuracy and the stability is best only when the incident angle within ±15°. The results have shown that CCR can maintain the manufacturer specifications of LTS only when the incident angle is within ±20°, which provides a very useful guidance for design and application for CCR.
Abstract:First of all a new method, namely aspheric gradient method, is presented to determine actuator arrangements for shaping aspheric surface, and the theoretical analysis and two calculating formulas of this method are described. Secondly, based on an example of off-axis ultra-thin large-aperture spherical mirror, the initial solution of actuator arrangements is given by the aspheric gradient method, and the finite element analysis and the surface errors for shaping aspheric surface are accomplished. Thirdly, the optimizations of actuator arrangement are done. Finally, three methods of actuator arrangements, namely aspheric gradient, square and circular methods are compared using finite element analysis. The results show that the initial solution based on average value of aspheric gradient is most alike with the final solution, and it is in accord with the relation that the greater the aspheric gradient the greater the surface density of actuator arrangements. Meantime, the optimization can also further reduce the number of actuators and further improve the form errors. The aspheric gradient method has more advantages than the square and annulus methods, which makes it suitable for incorporation in the field of the shaping aspheric surface to determine the initial solution of actuator arrangements.

Abstract:A rotary piezo motor with adjustable preload function is designed to study the rotational motion of an Impact Drive Mechanism (IDM). The motion principles of this Rotary Impact Drive Mechanism (RIDM) are investigated, the influencing factors of driving signal, structural parameters as well as piezoelectric element on motion characteristics of the mechanism are analyzed. The research results reveal that the rotational velocity of this motor is in proportion to the frequency or the voltage of driving signal, and in inverse proportion to M/m (the ratio of the main body and the weight). The velocity decreases as the charge time increasing of piezo element. Furthermore, the results also show that the torque-speed property and forward-backward rotation of rotary motor are both different from that of traditional motor. The torque-speed curve of the rotary motor is a fold line, and the forward rotational velocity is larger than the backward rotation velocity all the time. When the frequency,voltage and the charge time are 1100 Hz,50 V and 70 μs,respectively, and M/m is equal to 8.9, rotational velocity is about 1.75°/s and the maximum torque is 0.13 N·m.These results reported here show that the rotary impact drive mechanism is a multivariable system, whose performance is decided by many factors.

Abstract:In order to improve the precision of the registration algorithm and the quality of the super-resolution reconstructed image, an image registration method with sub-pixel precision is proposed. First, the image registration method based on three-parameter model is introduced and optimized. Then, the image registration algorithm based on four-parameter model is proposed. Because the rotation angle is not directly included in the movement model, the hypothesis of small rotation angle while Taylor series expanding in the original method is avoided effectively. Finally, according to the movement information with sub-pixel precision gained by these two registration algorithms respectively, super-resolution reconstruction is performed by the adoption of iterative back projection algorithm. Experimental results indicate that this image registration algorithm achieves higher precision. The average translation error is reduced 0.0297 pixels and the average rotation angle error is decreased 0.3564 degree. The reconstructed image has better visual effect and the average PSNR is increased 0.75dB. It can be extensively used in the large multiple super-resolution reconstruction of low-resolution images from which differs mostly by translation and big rotation, which satisfies the requirements of practical application.
Abstract:Image restoration can be regarded as a minimization problem, which can be solved by Boltzmann machine, since it is certainly fall into global minimum not local minimum by its inherent random neural network. Following improvements are done on traditional Boltzmann Machine: firstly integrate Paik into Boltzmann Machine; secondly extend serial model to parallel model; thirdly subunit step is adopted to increase precision; finally make the step adaptive to trade off the contradiction of convergence precision and convergence velocity. Each improvement was expatiated via theories, convergence analysis, and residual. Experiments demonstrate that this proposed method can approximate the overall minimum of the energy function infinitely, and the restored image by this method is superior to that of traditional Boltzmann.

The scheme chose discrete cosine transform (DCT) to decorrelate the image data. After comparison among many fast DCT algorithms, AAN’ approach was locked to be optimized and implemented, and the procedure of the optimization was presented.

Under the compression ratio of 32:1, the PSNR of the scheme reached 30.18 which is extremely close to the performance of the algorithms based on wavelet, and it is the guarantee to the decoding quality of image. The experiment result shows our scheme fetch a better balance among compression speed, compression ratio and compression performance in video encoding, and testify it can be suitable for practical implementation in the aerial-video compression.
Abstract:In stereoscopic displays, stereo depth is associated with parallax image’s parallax, and parallax is related with camera’s layout when the parallax images are captured. In the paper, the parallel camera configuration is adopted. By setting proper space between cameras and shifting the images reasonably, the objects with a certain depth have zero parallax and the objects with other depth have expected parallax. The parallax embodies the stereo depth, so the quantitative relationship between stereo depth and distance of two cameras which capture the parallax images is calculated. Experiments were carried out to verify the theory. The results help to shoot good parallax images for stereoscopic displays by laying out cameras suitably.
