Abstract:A calibration method based on perspective-three-point was proposed to solve the calibration problems in line structured light sensor system such as requirement of high accuracy calibration model, complicate calibration procedure and so on. The calibration model used a coplanar reference target with three collinear and known distance points. The line across the three points intersected the laser stripe at a point that was called as the calibration point. The calibration point coordinates in the camera coordinate system can be calculated by using the imaging information of the three points and that of the light stripe on the camera’s image plane. The spatial pose between camera and light plane can be calibrated by moving the reference plane at several arbitrary places in the sensor range. Experiments show that the sensor can attain relative accuracy about 0.8%.The method decreased the cost of calibration equipment, and needn’t calculate the transformation matrix between different coordinate systems. The method is simple and flexible, and can satisfy the precision requirements
Abstract:The paper reported a method to characterize the retardance of retardation films at different wavelength. The system is based on the method of rotation of quarter wave-plate. A spectrometer was sued as the light source ,color filters and a photodetector. We measured some samples using the system, analysed the measurement data, and obtained the spectrum characteristic of the retardation films. According to the theory of the system, the variation of the light source and other errors related to light intensity are not so critical for the measurement in this system. Furthermore, some quarter wave-plate’s affect for the other wavelength is very little, so the retardance is determined in a high accuracy and in a high repeatability. In principle, any retardance within the system accuracy can be measured.

Abstract:Two deflection-angle prisms were used to finely focalize the fundus of an eye when the fundus was observed in the dark. A slit mark was projected onto the fundus. Light transmited in two different directions through the slit mark because of the bending of the deflection-angle prisms. The slit mark was broken into two slit marks. When the fundus was in focus, these two broken slit marks would be in a line. These two slit marks would be taken apart when the fundus was out of focus. The separated distance and direction of these two slit marks were depended on the state of the defocus. Experiment showed that it was simple and had high precision when one judged focus states basing upon whether these two slit marks were in a line.

Astigmatism induced by mirrors may significantly compromise the image resolution.

In order to facilitate raytracing and aberration calculation, even asphere surface model was obtained by using of hybrid schemes combining MPGA and damped least squares. Finally, a prototype of the catadioptric panoramic imager had developed and panoramic ring images were obtained.

Abstract:The high accuracy time interval measurement is a key technique to pulsed laser ranging. Therefore, a new high precision time interval measurement method is proposed. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) is used to implement the multi-level time interval measurement. The coarse time measurement is realized by the coarse counter to guarantee large dynamic range. The PLL unit in an FPGA is used to generate the N clock pulses with the same frequency and uniform distribution phase as counting clock. Based on the equal precision frequency measuring, the resolution of the time conversion is improved to Tclk/N. A chain of the latch flip-flops is used to measure the fine time interval. The problem of the traditional multi-phase sampling approach that the phase shift resolution is decreased as the increased frequency is solved. The fine resolution can be achieved with limited delay lines while no need to increase the counting clock. The test results show that the proposed method can realize wide dynamic range, small conversion time and high resolution.

A piezoelectric unimorph cantilever was designed and the effect of optimal thickness ratios(ORT) for the piezoelectric unimorph cantilever analyzed by finite element analysis(FEM). The results show that the output voltage and power is maximal at the resonance frequency. The ORT of the piezoelectric unimorph cantilever is 0.5 by FEM.

Abstract:Line in traffic sign image is a significant feature for traffic sign recognition. A modified Hough transform is proposed for line detection in traffic sign image. There exist some drawbacks in the existing Hough transform, such as peak diffusion in parameter space, heavy burden of computational complexity, and massive storage requirement. In this paper an adaptive many-to-many mapping scheme is proposed to overcome these drawbacks. With the new mapping scheme, the peak corresponding to an image line does not spread around in parameter space and is insensitive to parameter quantization, so the threshold can be selected conveniently. These characteristics are very helpful to accurately detect the parameter of a line in image. Experimental results reveal that the proposed method is more efficient for extracting the line in traffic sign image at the cost of an acceptable running time.
Abstract:Analyzing a kind of space-variant blurred image which was resulted from moving target shot by moving camera, the article presented a method of space-variant blurred image restoration based on image segmentation according to pixel’s motion-blur character. Because of the convolution process of motion blur, the pixels of observed image’s target and background will be displaced and piled up and will produce two superposition regions. As a result, the neighboring pixels in the superposition regions will have similar grey level change. According to the feature, the method could detect the target’s blurred edge of superposition region. And canny operator was recurred to detect the target edge which parallels the motion blur direction. Then the segmentation process obtained the whole target image which has the character of integral convolution between motion blur and real target image. At last, the target image restored by adding zeros and deconvolution algorithms. The practical restoration result indicated that the approach can effectively solve the kind of problem of space-variant motion blurred image restoration.

Abstract:In order to improve the assembly performance of optical burst switching (OBS) network, the assembly modular for the edge node of OBS is studied in this paper and the design scheme of a novel assembly controller (AC) is proposed. By means of introducing the feedback of BDP size, the modular proposed in this paper makes the time-threshold based modular a closed-loop system, which is different from former assembly modules that can be considered as an open-loop system. The novel modular measures the network traffic flow and chooses a suitable timer-threshold for the timer according to the control curve. Moreover, the control curve can be modified according to the BDP size feedback. Simulation results show that the novel modular can improve the distribution of BDP size by 4.95% compared with the time-threshold based modular. In addition, the assembly delay can also be improved by 15%. Therefore, the novel modular not only can adjust the timer threshold according to the traffic flow, but also can control the distribution of Burst size.

Abstract:An algorithm is proposed to restore the images, simultaneously degraded by multiple blurred during aerial imaging. Based on the analysis of the physical model of multiple blurred, the multiple blurred can be restored by restoring the every sub-blurred step by step. To reduce the accumulating of calculation error during the restoration for multiple blurred images, the point spread functions (PSFs) of each space-invariant blur in the multiple blurred are combined by convolving all the linear PSFs together. For that, the multiple blurred made up of the space-invariant blurs can be eliminated by a deconvolution restoration. Through analysis the error noise arising during the image restoration, the Wiener filter is applied to suppress the error noise for the multiple blurred consist of space-variant blur. What’s more, the application of Wiener filter can increase the PSNR of the restored image by 7.76dB. The experiment results show that the PSNR of the image, restored by the proposed algorithm based on the PSFs combination, can reach 28.09 which ensures the restoration quality can be acceptable.
Abstract:An efficient local adaptive image denoising algorithm based on the double-density dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DD-DT CWT) is proposed. First, The principles and characteristics of DD-DT CWT are analyzed and the derivation of bivariate shrinkage function(BSF) is given. DD-DT CWT is implemented by applying four 2-D double-density DWTs in parallel to the noise images with distinct filter sets for the rows and columns. According to the statistical properties of wavelet coefficients and the dependency of inter-level and intra-level coefficients, the bivariate shrinkage function with local variance estimation is adopted to processing wavelet coefficients. The denoised images are synthesized using the wavelet coefficients after processing. Finally, The proposed algorithm is tested on some gray and color noisy images. Experimental results show that, compared with the noise images, the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) gains reach 11.72dB, Mean Structural Similarity (MSSIM)2.7 times and Composite Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (CPSNR) 11.68dB when the noise variance is 30. Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm is more efficient in noise removal and edge reservation for all the noise images with different noise variance, and that the visual quality of the denoised images is improved.

Abstract:The chessboard pattern is very useful in camera calibration and image distortion correction. Usually, these points of intersection of every four adjoining square panes are considered as feature points. The locating precision of these points will decide the precision of calibration. However, in the real photos, the point of intersection will diffuse into a group of pixels instead of one pixel. This makes the detection with high precision very difficult. In this paper, the shortcoming of present algorithms is analyzed and a kind of new detecting algorithm is proposed. This algorithm considers the structural characteristic of chessboard pattern that the pixels are central symmetrical about the points of intersection and antisymmetric about the lines of intersection of every two adjoining square panes. The precise coordinate of feature point is decided by calculating the symmetry index and antisymmetry index for every pixel. The experiment shows this algorithm is robust to noise, projective and distortion with high precision. It is also convenient for automatic detection.
Abstract:Sum-modified-Laplacian-based multifocus image fusion algorithm in cycle spinning sharp frequency localized contourlet transform (SFLCT) domain is proposed in this paper. SFLCT successfully reduces significant amount of aliasing components of the original contourlet which are located far away from the desired support. However, downsamplers and upsamplers presented in directional filter banks of SFLCT make it not shift-invariant and easily cause pseudo-Gibbs phenomena around singularities. Thus, we apply cycle spinning to compensate for the lack of translation invariance property. Furthermore, typical measurements for multifocus image fusion in spatial domain are introduced into contourlet domain and Sum-modified-Laplacian (SML), evidenced in this paper with the best capability to distinguish coefficients is from the clear parts or blurry parts of images, is employed in SFCLT subbands as measurement to compose coefficients of fused images. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed fusion method outperforms block-based spatial SML method, typical cycle spinning wavelet and shift-invariant wavelet methods, and typical cycle spinning contourlet methods in term of visual appearance and objective criteria for multifocus images.
