Abstract:Optical antenna consisting of objective lens and eyepiece lens plays a very important role in satellite optical communication terminal whether emitter or receiver, and its assembly accuracy were normally assured by interferometer. However, the focus of objective and eyepiece under testing will constantly change corresponding to its design parameter because the operating wavelength of interferometer differs from that of optical antenna. As a result, only the adjustments of lateral optical aberration were accomplished by using interferometer, but the axial spacing between objective and eyepiece was not still determined quantificationally. In order to determine axial spacing of various optical antennas with different wavelengths by utilizing the same interferometer, the relation between wavelength and axial spacing must be studied. In this paper, a relationship between axial spacing derivation of optical antenna and corresponding alterative number of interference fringes was deduced based on optical path difference, hence axial spacing of optical antenna would be adjusted accurately according to this formula. Emulation results proofs validation of formula, and it also shows that corresponding assembly accuracy can meet requirements of satellite optical communication terminal completely.

Abstract:Laser diode (LD) and avalanche photodiode (APD) are crucial components for laser range finding. Their performances are influenced by temperature, which limits the measuring resolution of laser range finder. So the temperature control system is necessary. As LD and APD are low power components, Self-heating effect of Pt resistance influences the resolution of temperature control system. The main error sources using Platinum resistor in temperature measuring were analyzed in detail, a new set of circuit based on pulse current drive was proposed. The models of pulse current drive circuits and its equivalent heat loop of self-heating are set up. The relationship of pulse width and heat quantity accumulation is given. The experiments showed that the measuring error from the self-heating effect decreased sharply by controlling the pulse width properly. The Platinum resistor nonlinear is compensated which employed the high-order orthogonal polynomial method. The high precision of compensation is proved by comparison tests of the temperature measuring module and the absolute standard Platinum resistance thermometer. The maximum error absolute value is less than 0.0006o at different temperature in 0o~15o . The stability of temperature is better than ±0.005o in the controlled temperature range and meets the need of accuracy in range finder system.

Abstract:A method of applying nonlinear program to solve optimal control problem of lunar probe soft landing under finite thrust is studied. Based on Pontryagin maximum principle, the lunar soft landing problem is transformed into a two-point boundary value problem. Considering bound condition and transversality condition, the resulted two-point boundary value problem then is converted into parameters optimization problem aiming at the initial values of conjugate variables and the terminal time which is solved by nonlinear programming. To reduce the sensitivity of conjecturing initial values, the initial values of control variables are instead of the initial values of conjugate variables by using a transformation. The result of the simulation demonstrates the proposed design scheme is simple and effective.
Abstract:The resolution of spectroscopy SPR (surface plasmon resonance) analytical instruments is mostly depended on the sensitivity of sensors and the wavelength resolution, which is relate to the instrument noise levels. But, as we know, the wavelength range of high-resolution spectroscopy is usually very narrow. In order to obtain higher resolving and widen the dynamic range, we analyses the noise sources and their type. These noises can be divided into two types based on the relation to the light source intensity. One is the noise in the intensity of light emitted by the light source and the shot noise, the other is the noise caused by temperature and supporting circuitry. SPR curve, which are involved in data analysis, has been optimized with the signal to noise ratio of spectroscopy SPR analytical instruments. The optimization result is that the optimization SPR cure should be between the Reflectance R1 corresponding to strongest SPR signal and the Reflectance R2 corresponding to strongest signal to noise ratio. And we put forward a part centroid method for data analysis. The experimental results indicate that the analytical instruments resolution has been improved by nearly ten times; the dynamical range of measurement has been enlarged two times. The Glycerin solutions, which are the Refractive index between 1.3325 and 1.3600, are tested. The correlation coefficients are larger than 0.99, that mean this method has not caused unfavorable influence on the result linearity.

Abstract:In order to enable electrode sites to get closer to target neurons, obtain a better stimulation and minimize the electrochemical erosion of electrode, we proposed dome-shaped flexible neural microelectrode arrays (MEAs) for neural applications. With the use of photosensitive polyimide (Durimide 7510) as substrate, a flexible microelectrode with 6 × 6 array of dome-shaped electrode sites was fabricated by combining photolithography and metal-patterning with electroplating process. Each electrode site has a diameter of 150 μm and a height of 50 μm. An evaluation of the dome-shaped electrode was also performed by simulation, SEM and resistance test. Experimental results showed, compared with conventional planar microelectrodes with the same base area, the 3D dome-shaped microelectrodes exhibited an 80% decrease in electrode impedance. The dome-shaped electrodes produce more uniform current distribution than the 3D pyramid-shaped microelectrodes do, which is helpful for its long-term safety of stimulation.

Abstract:This paper introduces a simple way to measure and correct micro-displacement of piezoramic tube with intended use in atom force microscope. The X/Y micro-displacement is detected by an eddy current meter and then 100 times amplified. D/A for producing the control voltage and A/D for acquiring micro-displacement are both16 bits. The highest resolution of displacement is calculated to be 0.4nm. According to the working feature of the tube, nonlinear correction is realized by applying non-equidistant control voltage series while scanning to equidistant pixel. The non-equidistant control voltage series in the demand of different pixel resolution is obtained through interpolation based on the measured displacement-voltage relationship. By adopting the labVIEW technology the proposed system can easily adjust the scan frequency and pixel resolution for the tube. The maximum hysteresis error before and after correction are 10.1% and 0.4% respectively.

Abstract:In the domain of mechanical manufacture, the information from product surface was vitally important to supervising the surface manufacture. Compared with 2-Dimensional (2-D) information, the 3-Dimensional (3-D) information of surface texture as a hot research topic could more fully present the characteristics of machined surface. For the existence of vibration coming from mechanical transmission system and environment, the extracted surface by contact measurement sometimes included error ingredients, which presented characters of singularity. At present, wavelet transform was very useful to signal processing. In order to exclude the error ingredients mentioned above, a wavelet singularity analysis was adopted in the surface evaluation. Its principle and implementation algorithm were described in detail. In the experiment, the wavelet singularity analysis was used to preprocess the measured data first, and then the roughness profile was extracted by wavelet filter and Gaussian filter, the 3-D roughness results of which wre compared with each other. The computation and comparison proved that the algorithm was valid and more reasonable evaluation results could be obtained.

Abstract:The traditional histogram equalization is unable to keep the input image brightness, when enhancing the image details. Based on partially overlapped sub-block histogram equalization algorithm (POSHE), recursive separateness method is used in the process of sub-block histogram equalization. An advanced partially overlapped local histogram equalization algorithm is proposed. The sub-block image is separated recursively into different sub-images with the cumulative density function (CDF). Then each sub-image histogram is equalized within its respective gray range, and all the sub-images are incorporated into the equalized sub-block. Both linear and bilinear interpolation are used in the equalized sub-block based on step size avoiding the generation of the blocking effects and the influence on the image details. The simulation results show that the local details are enhanced, and the input image brightness is also preserved effectively. Finally, the influence on the image details is eliminated by avoiding the blocking effects, and more natural visual impression can be seen in the equalized image.
Abstract:With linear YCBCR space and Reinhard’s statistical color transfer strategy, a color transfer method for image fusion, named YCBCR color transfer method, is proposed to produce a fused image with a natural daytime color appearance. This approach has low computational complexity, and is very suitable for color image fusion. Furthermore, it facilitates enhancing the luminance contrast of the color fused image by replacing the luminance component of the color fused image with the high-contrast grayscale fused image. The paper mathematically proves that color spaces conforming to the general YCBCR space framework, such as YUV space, can be used as an alternative to YCBCR space in color transfer. Experimental results demonstrate that YCBCR color transfer method is able to give color fused image a natural daytime color appearance, and has better capability of recoloring color fused image than Reinhard’s approach.

Class kernels of eleven class regions are extracted from the query image. At last, class similar coefficient and class similarity degree are defined according to the fuzzy classification theory. Image classification and class merge are performed. Target detection is achieved by reserving dim and small target class. Experimental results show that the proposed method describes different kinds of regions in the dim and small infrared target image effectively and provides robust dim and small infrared target detection in heavy background clutter.

Abstract:Abstract:For solving the incorrect matching problem in computer vision, a stereo matching algorithm is proposed based on scanline optimization in an energy minimization framework and the best variable window as match cell. Firstly, a dissimilarity measure was introduced which combined intensity and gradient information. Secondly, according to cost function composed of the average measurement error, the variance of the errors and the error bias to larger windows, the best window of each disparity was chose as matching cue, and scanline optimization method was used to search optimum matching paths under the constraint that intensity variation accompanies depth discontinuities. Finally, a dense disparity map could be obtained by tracing the best paths. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm not only has better performance for processing the large low texture areas and depth discontinuities to get more smooth and accurate disparity maps, but also reduces computation cost which is almost three-fourths less than that of original algorithm.
Abstract:The chain codes based edge tracking and Hough transform which are the traditional methods for the line detection are sensitive to the noise and hard to satisfy the real time applications. This paper propose a novel method that combines improved chain codes based edge tracking (ICCBET) with improved Hough transform (IHT) to successfully detect the airport runway in real time. ICCBET primarily removes the short and curving lines to reduce the pixels and confirms the approximate orientation to shorten the angle range IHT processes in later. Furthermore, through using pyramid during HT stage, the computation cost is reduced considerably. Finally, we fix the memory by designing a chain list array for the image to avoid overflow arise from building chain list with memory dynamic allocation. Now, the algorithm is applied in the TMS320C6416 hardware system. The experiments on various images show that our method satisfies the real time need with about29 multiples computation reduction contrast to the original Hough transform and overcomes the blur and occlusion to localize the lines with high accuracy contrast to the original chain codes based edge tracking.
Abstract:Rao-Blackwellized particle filter(RBPF) based track-before-detect(TBD) is proposed for detection and tracking of a variable number of weak targets which are moving in infrared image with low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). For multiple filters tracking multiple targets a constrained initialization function of new target is constructed by the states of the present targets. With RBPF the state vector can be partitioned as the linear state variable and the nonlinear state variable which can be respectively computed by Kalman filter and particle filter. The simulation results of the infrared image sequences show that constrained initialization can avoid the inference of present targets. RBPF-TBD can reduce the state’s estimation error and improve the detection probability . Efficiency of our algorithm is validated by the experiment in different space position.
