Abstract:Pulse laser fuze is susceptible to the interference of natural environment, such as cloud and fog, and easy to produce a false alarm. Therefore, this paper researches the cloud and fog echo characteristics of the pulse laser fuze. On the basis of Mie scattering theory, a pulse laser transmission model for the cloud and fog is established by using Monte Carlo simulation. The cloud and fog echoes in two conditions are simulated. The first condition is that both pulse laser fuze and target are in the inside of cloud and fog, and the other is that the target is in the inside of cloud and fog and the pulse laser fuze in the outside. At the first condition, the echo signals are acquired when the distance between pulse laser fuze and target is 10 m and the visibility are 1,3,5 and 10 m, respectively. At the second condition, the dynamic echo characteristics are obtained when the distance between pulse laser fuze and target is 10 m, the visibility is 3 m and the cloud and fog boundaries are 0,1,3,5,7and 9 m, respectively. Moreover, it analyzes the influences of cloud and fog parameters and position, on the cloud and fog echo, and the waveform difference of cloud and fog echo and target echo. This research provides the theoretical support for the anti-interference of pulse laser fuzes.

Abstract:By taking a piezoelectric Deformable Mirror (PDM) and a Micromachined Membrane Deformable Mirror (MMDM) as examples, a method to accurately characterize the surface of continuous surface deformable mirrors was discussed. The description characteristics of Zernike polynomial and Q polynomial methods using different fitting parameters were compared and the influence of higher polynomial terms on fitting accuracy was researched. By activating one or more actuators, the two groups of five surface data were obtained for PDM and MMDM respectively. Then, the number of sampling points and the number of polynomial orders were set as variables. The ten surface data were fitted using the least square method based on five types of sampling grids;either the Zernike polynomial and Q polynomial were adopted. The experimental results show that the edge-clustered sampling grid outperforms the four uniform grids in terms of fitting accuracy. The Q-polynomial fits produce smaller fitting residuals than Zernike fits when the polynomial order goes beyond 40. Moreover, the RMS(Root-Mean-Square)of fitting residuals stays in the 1×10-5 mm order of magnitude when the polynomial order increases from 10 to 80, while the residuals away from the aperture edge decrease significantly. The above results can guide the choice of fitting parameters in deformable mirror applications, describe the surface characteristics of deformable mirrors and improve wavefront control accuracy.
Abstract:For the high precision attitude measurement of flying objects in a suspension test field, a multiple linear CCD attitude measurement system with an area array CCD as auxiliary recognition was proposed. Aspecial imaging lens consisting of cylindrical lenses was designed for the linear CCD . Three red Light Emission Diodes(LEDs) were mounted on a flying object to be as cooperation targets, while two area array CCDs and three linear CCDs were utilized to image for the light spots. Finally, the attitude angles of the fly object were obtained by measuring the space position of the light spots. The working region of the linear CCD optical lens is at wavelength (635 ± 15) nm, the full angle of view is 19° and the focal length is 90.04 mm. Seven pieces of cylindrical lenses and a piece of red filter were used to compose a telecentric optical path of image space, which effectively eliminates the aberration and completes the measurement for a larger depth of field. The results show that the lens distortion is less than 0.05%, and the depth of field is up to 1.5 m. The designed system achieves high accuracy measurement by combining linear array CCDs and special imaging systems.

Abstract:As many single remote sensing images have extended multiple latitudes, their remote sensing information retrieved by several simple atmospheric transmittances will generate to many big errors. To solve above problems, a real-time calculation method of statistical regression transmittance profile was proposed. Firstly, a regression prediction equation and an equivalent optical mass calculation method were established based on the Curtis-Godson(CG) approximate method of homogeneous atmosphere. Then, by taking the MODTRAN's 6 types of atmospheric transmittance profiles and the corresponding atmospheric profile data as samples, statistical regression parameters were calculated, and the model's precision was verified. Finally, a correction formula for transmittance zenith angle was presented and the slant path transmittance profile calculation was implemented. The simulation results show that the average biggest error of transmittance profile is 1.39%, and calculation time of single band is less than 0.08 s. Combined with measured data of temperature and humidity, this model can calculate the transmittance profile at the observation point in real-time, thus not only improves effectively retrieval accuracy of remote sensing image.but also expands the model's application ranges.

Abstract:A method to induce multi-colors on an iron surface by using Circularly Polarized Femtosecond Laser (CPFL) processing was proposed. The subwavelength ripples were fabricated by CPFL scanning over the iron surface where covered by randomly distributed nanoparticles with diameters from 50 nm to 190 nm. A while light was used to irradiate the treated iron surface, and the relation between surface colors and incident angles was explored. By changing the incident angles of a white light from 0° to 80°, diverse colors were displayed on the laser-treated iron surface. In order to understand the underlying mechanism of the experimental results, a model of spherical nanoparticles spread randomly on ripples of the iron surface was built by Finite-difference Time Domain (FDTD). The experiments show that the surface reflection spectrum is varied from blue to red by increasing the incident angle of white light, which is consistent with the experimental results. Furthermore, it is found that the reflection spectrum shifts towards blue and the peak increases by decreasing the sizes of nanoparticles. This work may find potential applications in the fields of information storage, identifying codes and anti-counterfeiting patterns.

Abstract:The phase modulation and positioning principle of a Distributed Optical Fiber Interferometric Vibration Sensing (DVS) system are discussed and the wavelet denoising principle for interferometric signals is introduced. As the DVS system is vulnerable to environmental noise interference and easy to produce false alarms or larger positioning errors, the paper uses the wavelet analysis method to implement the denoise of interferometric signals and the exact detection and accurate position of vibration signals.The experimental results show that proper wavelet analysis method selected for time-frequency characteristics of vibration signals improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)of the detection signal and variation detection accuracy obviously, and decreases the false alarm rate of the system. Meanwhile, it ensures the system positioning error within ±50 m. As compared with other denoising methods, the application of wavelet transform in signal processing improves the accuracy and spatial resolution of the vibration detection and reduces the system positioning error. The method is applicable for the same types of distributed vibration sensing systems.

Abstract:To investigate the effectiveness of wider broad-band camouflage jamming on spectral imagers and to evaluate the jamming effect on spectral imaging quantitatively, camouflage jamming tests were carried out with a kind of broad-band camouflage net and a hyperspectral imager. Then,the camouflage jamming effect on the hyperspectral imager was analyzed quantitatively by using correlation function. The results show that, under the test condition, the correlation function between the spectral images before and after camouflaging varies between 0.68 and 0.98 with the target characteristics before being camouflaged, camouflage net layers and the spectral band, thus it can reflect the camouflage jamming effect on spectral images sensitively and accurately, and demonstrate the change of jamming effect with spectral bands conveniently. The evaluation results of jamming effect also accord with that obtained by observing spectral images. So the correlation function could be used to evaluate the jamming effect on spectral imaging quantitatively and impersonally.

As compared with that of corresponding PCF structures, the fiber proposed and liquid filling method have higher thermo sensitivity and broader application prospects for high sensitivity temperature sensors.
Abstract:A set of rapid-testing system for intensity spatial distribution characteristics of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was designed to screen out LEDs with light distribution defects before they leave the factory. This system used optical fibers for collecting light and a contact image sensor for photoelectric conversion. The relationship between sensor output and its corresponding light intensity was established and the intensity distribution properties could be obtained and corrected by comparing with the data of a reference sample. The correlation coefficient was proposed to quantitatively evaluate the difference between tested sample and reference sample. Experimental results indicate that this system can effectively reflect the differences of intensity distributions of light sources. When the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.995, the tested light source can be screened out as a highly correlated one. When the correlation coefficient is less than 0.995 but greater than 0.99, the light source can be screened out as a low correlated one. When the correlation coefficient is less than 0.99, the light source can be screened out as a non-conformity one and should be eliminated. As the system gives up the traditional mechanical transmission, it provides a new measurement method with a high speed, and meets the demands of on-line intensity distribution testing very well.
Abstract:How to calculate a plenty of marks in close range industrial photogrammetry was discussed. The optimization method of bundle adjustment was proposed when the number of marks was large. Firstly, the application of the elimination point by point in adjustment calculation was analyzed.

Abstract:A plastic optical fiber sensor with double U-shaped probes (i.e. the sensor and reference probes) was created to accurately measure microalgae biomass. Firstly, two D-shaped fibers were created by a grinding method. The D-shaped fibers were subjected to numerous rounds of heating-cooling treatment to obtain U-shaped ones. One of the prepared U-shaped fibers was employed as the sensing probe and to sense the algal cells and changes in the liquid-phase (concentration and composition), and the other prepared U-shaped fiber coated with a hydrophilic mixed cellulose ester membrane was used as the reference probe to separate the liquids from the cells and to measure the liquid concentration and composition. Furthermore, the plastic optical fiber sensor with double U-shaped probes was implemented based on the sensing probe and the reference probe. A theoretical model was established to examine the performance parameters of the probes and the response properties of the sensor for the microalgae biomass. The measuring results show that the output signal of the prepared sensor is a function of the biomass and is not affected by changes in the liquid-phase composition or concentration.The developed sensor can accurately measure the low and high level biomasses. When the biomass of the chlorella pyrenoidosa in the range of 0-598.998 mg/L (the absorbance at OD680 nm in the range of 0-2.986), the maximum relative error between the fitted curve and the experiment results is 2.46%, and the relative error mean is 1.28%.

Abstract:To improve the precision of side wall forming in additive manufacturing of metal parts, a process method was explored in selective laser melting of metal parts. Some phenomena effecting on sidewall precision like powder adhesion, molten pool-end bulge, and thermal deformation were analyzed and corresponding process methods to obviously improve the precision were proposed for different sidewall types. It points out that the precisions of vertical sidewall and sidewall with upward normal can be improved distinctly by using the alternating direction spiral edge-scanning plus inside-filling scanning strategy and maintaining a lower edge-scanning speed. The precision of sidewall with downward normal is strongly affected by thermal stress, but this kind of thermal deformation can be avoided through the appropriate design of scanning strategy and sidewall support. According to process analysis, a metal part with different types of sidewalls was manufactured using selective laser melting technology. Test results show that the size precision of this part reaches ±0.05 mm/10 mm and the surface roughness Rz is 26.7 μm.
Abstract:The feasibility to produce white light emitting diodes by using glass phosphors was explored, and a series of Eu3+ doped silver borate glasses with various silver contents were prepared via a melt-quenching technique. The structural, spectral and chromatic properties of the glasses were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicate that there are no silver particles in glasses in the identifiable level that the XRD could reach, but absorption spectra exhibit the existence of silver nanoparticles in the glasses with higher silver contents. Furthermore, the excitation and emission spectra show that the glass samples can be effectively excited by near ultraviolet and can generate emissions covering almost full visible region. Fluorescence decays demonstrate that there are many types of silver aggregates in the glass samples. The color coordinate was calculated, and it shows that white light generation can be obtained from Eu3+ doped silver borate glass samples with certain composition. Finally, a white emitting device was produced by using the glass with the color coordinate of (0.312,0.336) and a color rending index of 0.88 and a 390 nm diode.
Abstract:To get Compound X-ray Refractive Lenses(CRL) with a short focal length and high gain, the structure parameters of CRL were optimized. And a novel cascaded parabolic CRL made of poly methylmethacrylate(PMMA) was developed by two refractive structures. The main optical performance of cascaded parabolic CRL was derived. And optical properties of the CRL with single structure and the cascaded CRL with two structures were numerically analyzed. The results show that the cascaded CRL imposes a smaller focal length and a higher gain as compared with the CRL with single structure for the same geometric aperture and the radius of curvature. The focal lengths of the designed three cascaded CRLs are shortened by 33.3%, 66.7% and 40.5%, and the gains are increased by 23.9%, 60.9% and 27.6%, respectively. The cascaded CRL is expected to have the ability to adjust the focal performance of ID X-ray beam and has a better application prospect in the micro beam X-ray analysis.
Abstract:To improve the mechanical properties of the gel-casting reactive bonded silicon carbide, furfuryl alcohol was selected as the precursor, and the porous state green body after degreasing at high temperature was processed by precursor impregnation. It is expected to improve the performance of the silicon carbide by improving its content in the body after reaction sintered. The density and the microstructure after the impregnation process were investigated. The results show that the average density of the sample without impregnation process is 2.93 g/cm3 after reaction sintered, namely the silicon carbide content is 68.2%. The average density increases to 3.06 g/cm3 after impregnation, namely the silicon carbide content is 83.0%. The silicon carbide content increases by 21.7%. The scale of β-SiC generated by furfuryl alcohol pyrolytic carbon is fine. Under the light microscope, the appearance of β-SiC is difficult to distinguish from the original α-SiC, but the distribution of β-SiC is not uniform in the body. A performance test was conducted with the samples. It shows that the average flexure strength has increased from 343.3 MPa to 382.0 MPa after impregnation, and strength increased by 11.3%. The average elastic modulus has increased from 303.5 GPa to 353.8 GPa after impregnation, the elastic modulus increased by 16.6%. These data indicate that the mechanical properties of the silicon carbide have been improved in varying degrees.

The spectral errors of the spectrometer for both mid-wavelength and long-wavelength are less than half of the spectral resolution. These parameters are all in the normal range, which verifies the feasibility of test method. It provides references for the periodically measurement of imaging spectrometers.
Abstract:The influence of speckle average size on the ghost imaging with pseudo-thermal light was investigated. A binary image and a grayscale image were used as images of an object to be reconstructed. The reconstruction quality was quantified by Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) as the measure, while three sets of reconstructed pictures with different size speckles from small to large were compared intuitively. Four correlation imaging methods including Ghost Imaging (GI), Differential Ghost Imaging (DGI), Compressive-sensing Ghost Imaging (CGI) and Pseudo-inverse Ghost Imaging (PGI) were simulated. Then, several groups of speckle fields with a growing size were used to reconstruct respectively by these methods. The simulation result shows that the PSNRs of GI, DGI and PGI are improved to 7 dB remarkable as the speckle size increasing, while the PSNR of the CGI enhances little. Besides, when the object arm and reference arm are not quite symmetrical in the experiment, the speckle size of two arms are deviated slightly. The reconstruction PSNRs of four methods are decreased as the bias increasing and indistinguishable finally. For a distinguishable reconstruction, the allowable deviations of GI and DGI could be bigger than that of the CGI, in which the PGI is the smallest.

Abstract:To improve speed measuring accuracy of Hydroxyl Tagging Velocimetry(HTV)in a complex and special supersonic combustion flow field, a progressive approach characteristic window filtering was proposed to do the meticulous measurement. Firstly, the influence of background noise of the supersonic combustion flow field on the image processing of the HTV measurement was analyzed. Then, on the basis of the background suppression by the window filtering, the deformation, distortion, blur of HTV tag line caused by the flow rate change in fuel flow field significantly in some locations were processed by taking the partition processing method, the filter window was gradually narrowed, and the tag line along the width direction of the image within the window for each partition was approached to Gaussian distribution. By combined with image analysis methods in median filtering, the HTV background removal method was achieved for the combustion flow field. The feasibility of the method was analyzed and discussed, and corresponding parameters were determined by the experimental processing. Comparison of experimental data shows that after optimization, the Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR) is greatly improved, the accuracy has increased by 18.8%, which satisfies the system requirements of the HTV application for the SNR and measurement precision.
Abstract:To invert precisely the CO2 concentration in atmosphere by the green-house gas information obtained by satellite remote sensing, this paper researches the high spectral detection technology with high spectral resolution and high Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR). A method of fine spectrum splitting was demonstrated using a large area diffractive grating at three spectral bands of 0.76,1.61,2.06μm. According to the theory of remote sensing detection, the theoretical SNRs of the three bands were deduced to reveal the restrict relation between the spectral resolution and the SNR. The detectors with large pixel sizes and high quantum efficiency were selected to detect the weak signal with high SNR by using methods of pixel combination and blind pixel correction. A spectral calibration facility was established to measure the instrument line shapes(ILSs) of the three bands, and the center wavelength and the full-width at half maximum(FWHM) of each spectral channel were determined with a Gaussian fit to the core of each ILS. The results of the spectral calibration indicate that the spectral resolution is 0.04 nm. The above-mentioned study provides the basis for the realization of accurate detection of absorption spectra and 1-4×10-6 reversion precision of CO2.
Abstract:On the basis of measuring principle and existing calibration technology, an improved depth calibration method was presented. After analysis of the coordinate transforming relation between reference plane and imaging plane of an ordinary geometry setting system, the mapping relation between the depth and the phase difference was established. Then, the reverse calibration process was given. The position restriction of a projection system and an imaging system was relaxed by the new calibration model. In the calibration process, calibration parameters were irrelevant to pixel coordinate values, so every pixel did not need its calibration parameters. Compared with the original method, the new method greatly reduces the calculative complexity and storage space of calibration parameters. Two calibration methods were used to calibrate the measurement system respectively. Then, a flat object was measured by different calibration systems, the results were compared and measuring errors were analyzed. The results show that the measured PV value of the object with the new method is smaller than that of the original method. In the Z direction(0 to 48 mm), the standard deviation of PV values is 0.0036 mm, which verifies the validity of the improved method. This research has positive significance on enhancing calibration efficiency and operability for digital projection measurement systems.

Abstract:To optimize the surface roughness in ultra-precision fly cutting machining, a number of experiments were conducted to analysis on the changes of main factors affecting the surface roughness. On the basis of the processing principle of ultra-precision fly cutting machine, the main factors affecting surface roughness were analyzed theoretically.

Abstract:On the basis of the response surface method, the influences of main high speed cutting factors on cutting temperatures in AISI1045 steel cutting processing were researched. A high-speed cutting temperature measurement test system was established. The tests with four factors and three levels were designed by applying Box-Behnken Design(BBD) response surface experimental design method considering the cutting speed, feed, axial cutting depth and the radial cutting width. Then, the effects of various factors on high-speed cutting temperature and temperature range were analyzed. Results show that when the feed is 0.05-0.11 mm, the cutting temperature rises slowly with cutting speed increasing; when the feed is greater than 0.11 mm, the cutting temperature decreases slowly with cutting speed increasing. However, when cutting speed maintains unchanged, the cutting temperature increases linearly with axial cutting depth increasing. When axial cutting depth is less than 1.5 mm, the cutting temperature first decreases then increases with radial cutting width increasing; when axial cutting depth is greater than 1.5 mm, the cutting temperature increases with radial cutting width increasing linearly. Comprehensive analysis shows that feed and axial cutting depth effect on cutting temperature changes more significant.

Abstract:The Jiles-Atherton hysteresis model and the Dynamic Recurrent Neural Network(DRNN) feedforward-PD feedback control strategy were adopted to improve the positioning accuracy of precision positioning stage based on a Giant Magnetostrictive Actuator(GMA). An accurate hysteresis nonlinearity model of the precision positioning stage was established with the Jiles-Atherton model.

Abstract:As common flexures in a parallel mechanism usually are machined in different directions, and it is difficult to integrate with a monolithie configuration, this paper proposes a thinned right-circular flexure hinge with three degrees of freedom. The flexure hinge can be fabricated merely along one direction, and is benefit for the spherical hinge applied in positioning mechanism with monolithic configuration. Based on Castigliano's displacement theorem, the compliance formulas of the thinned right-circular flexure hinge were derived. Finite element analysis was adopted to verify the compliance formulas and analyze the effect of the structure parameters on the compliance of the flexure hinge. Two cases on the compliance design for the application of the flexure hinge were discussed. The results show that the maximum variance between the theoretically calculated compliance value and the finite element analysis compliance value is within 20%. The parameters with the greatest impact on the compliance of the flexure hinge are the thickness b, the minimum notch spacing t, and the fillet radius r, successively. The above conclusions provide principles for the design and application of the thinned right-circular flexure hinge with three degrees of freedom.

In the proposed algorithm, the eigenvalue search and waveform correlation algorithm are exploited for echo time acquisition and theoretical analysis. The detection principle and corresponding algorithm are described, and effect factors on measuring accuracy is analyzed. By taking a sample tube as the testing object, the experiments are carried out. Finally, the algorithm is used in the field detection of the CNG storage well. The CNG storage wells of 6 gas stations in Jiangsu Province is detected, and the feasibility of proposed algorithm based on waveform correlation was verified. The results show that the accuracy of thickness measuring is up to 0.03 mm, which is better than others in pipe erosion thickness testing.
Abstract:To reduce the impact phenomenon in flycutting machining of an optical crystal and to improve the surface quality of the optical crystal, a prediction model was set up experimentally for the relationship between cutting force and machining parameters. Based on the processing principle of flycutting machining, the prediction model for cutting force was built by response surface methodology(RSM). Then, a cutting force experiment for the optical crystal was conducted under the parameters designed by Taguchi method. After that, the prediction model was achieved by using the experimental data, and the accuracy of the model was analyzed by analysis of variance(ANOVA), R2 value and residual analysis. In addition, the influences of machining parameters on the cutting force were analyzed. Finally, validation tests were conducted to verify the model. Experimental results demonstrate that the model is adequate at 95% confidence level, and its accuracy is better than 2.5%. Futhermore, the cutting force decreases with the increases of spindle speed, while increases with the increase of feed rate and cutting depth. Moreover, the cutting depth and spindle speed are the main factors on cutting force, whereas the feed rate has the smallest influence. In the finish machining of optical crystal, the spindle speed should be as large as possible, while the cutting depth should be decreased, and the feed rate can be adjusted by processing efficiency under 180μm/s.

Abstract:For lower accuracy by a single feature and too high dimensionality by a combined feature in heartbeat classification, a new heartbeat classification algorithm was proposed based on the feature fusion by using Principle Component Analysis(PCA). With proposed algorithm, each single feature was normalized, then all kinds of features were combined together to a new one with high dimensionality and more information. In order to reduce dimensionality of combined features, the PCA was employed to remove redundant components. Finally, the Support Vector Machine(SVM) was used as a classifier to classify different heartbeats. By taking time domain feature, Discrete Wavelet Trans form(DWT) feature and Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT) feature as examples, the experiments were performed in MIT-BIH database. This study was compared with the new feature mentioned above, three single features and combined feature without Principle Component Analysis. The experiments results indicate that the accuracy of the new features is 97.389% when its dimension is 100. The new fusion feature has lower dimension than combined feature and higher classification accuracy than single feature.
Abstract:The single orientation feature gets ineffective when tracking rotational object. For the sake of fulfilling object tracking in the scenes of illumination variation, rotation and partial occlusion, a joint histogram of colors and oriented gradients based Mean Shift tracking algorithm is presented. The joint histogram fuses the features of colors and oriented gradients by expanding the dimensions of the histogram. In this algorithm, IVF(illumination variation factor) is calculated by the model of illumination, which detects the degree of illumination variation. In the process of tracking, if IVF is below a certain threshold, color feature is taken as the principal feature so that the algorithm is robust to rotation, otherwise choose oriented gradients as principal feature for its robustness to illumination variation. The problem of partial occlusion can be figured out by dividing the object template into sub areas, and the position of object can be determined by the area that obtains largest similarity coefficient. The presented algorithm shows good performance in the experiments when dealing with complex scenes such as target rotation, illumination change and partial occlusion.
Abstract:Structured scenes have uniform texture and the matching method based on local features can get few matches in a wide baseline case. Therefore, a matching extension method based on homography constraint was presented. Firstly, initial matches were divided into several groups and each group was corresponded to different planes based on the homography constraints. The homography matrix for each group was estimated using RANSAC based strategy and the outliers out of the plane constraint were removed. Then, the nearest candidate correspondences for unmatched features such as corners and blobs were searched by homography transformation and the SURF descriptor was used to further reject outliers. Furthermore, the homography constraints were updated using extended matches and outliers are removed. Experiment results show that the proposed method can adapt to a certain degree of scale and viewpoint changes and obviously illumination change. The initial matches are greatly enriched, and matching growth rates all achieve to 100%, which lays a good foundation for accurate epipolar geometry estimation and three dimensional reconstruction.

Abstract:To reduce the cost of truck's box volume measuring system, some calculation methods were discussed in detail, such as the solution of intrinsic parameters of a camera, the estimation of truck's position and orientation and the calculation of vertex coordinates on the truck's box. A method focusing on single image measuring was proposed under the constraint of orthogonal vanishing points and circle projection priori from the single image.

Then, the world coordinate system was established at the center of the wheel, then, the position and orientation of the truck relative to the camera were calculated with the intrinsic parameters of the camera and the prior of single circular projection of the wheel and the external facade equation of the truck's box was solved. Finally, the vertex coordinates of the truck's box were calculated with the external facade equation and matrix equation of imaging algorithm, and the volume of truck's box was figured out. Experiment results show that the measuring error of the truck's box length is less than 0.3 m and the error of the truck's box volume is within 5%. The proposed approach is more effective and lower cost as compared with other state of art methods, and is suitable for real-time measurement of truck's box volume.
Abstract:According to the requirement of the high-precision calibration of a CCD camera for corner detection in the calibration plate, a sub-pixel corner detection algorithm of black-white chessboard based on black-white operators(referred to BW operator) was proposed with the analysis of the gradation characteristic of a chessboard image.

The simulation experiment was performed in the MATLAL evironment and the experimental results show the algorithm detects completely and accurately corners of chessboard with a precision of 0.1 pixel level. The detection algorithm provides a basic condition for the high-precision of CCD cameras.

Abstract:For the image reconstruction of an X-ray cone-beam differential phase contrast CT, a reconstruction technique based on the derivative property of Fourier transform and the FDK algorithm frame was proposed. By which the X-ray cone-beam differential phase contrast CT and absorption-based CT could share the reconstruction software and hardware. On the basis of the phase line integral filter function, the two dimensional differential contrast projection captured by an area array sensor at each rotation sampling view angle was filtered row by row, and the line integral cone-beam projection dataset of phase function for an object was obtained. Then three dimensional phase contrast CT images were reconstructed by applying the classical absorption-based FDK algorithm to the retrieved dataset. With the well-known three dimensional Shepp-Logan phantom, a numerical simulation was performed to validate the proposed method. Finally, the experimental reconstruction was verified by the dataset of a plastic sphere sample and compared with the current methods. Experimental results indicate that normalized root square error of the new method is less than 0.2586 and the reconstruction accuracy is improved by 88%. It satisfies the high-accuracy reconstruction requirements of X-ray cone-beam differential phase contrast CT.
Abstract:To measure the tire tread length on-line automatically, a length measurement system was established for the tire tread, and image processing and measuring algorithms used in productive process were investigated. For the purpose of removing the influence of light in a real field, several methods such as median filtering, gray stretching etc, were used to preprocess the image, and the OSTU algorithm was used to accomplish the image binary process. The edge of the tire tread is straight line, so linear fitting algorithm was used to fit the linear equation in the image plane. To avoid the inconvenience in installation caused by calibration on the site, a couple of measurement reference points were reserved. The coordinate transformation parameters were obtained using the multiple linear regression method. The line equation of the tread head and the tread tail in the physical coordinate system were determined by the coordinate transformation. Therefore, the length of tire tread could be calculated. Experimental results indicate that the precision of the measuring system proposed in this paper is less than or equal to 2 mm for multiple measurement of various tire treads, and the 3σ value is less than 1.1 mm. Although the tire tread is elastomeric, the measuring system can satisfy the production requirement. The system is characterized by convenient installation and testing, system stable operation, etc.

Abstract:The traditional Principal Component Analysis(PCA) and IHS satellite image fusion technology may have spectral losing and feature detail distortion. A fusion method using Robust PCA(RPCA) combined with IHS transform was proposed to solve the problem. First, multi-spectral images were converted from a RGB model into an IHS model. The 'I' component of IHS was converted into low-rank matrix L0 and sparse matrix S0 by RPCA transform. Then, the histogram of panchromatic images was matched with the histogram of the L0 component, and the L0 component was replaced by the panchromatic image. Finally, the fused multi-spectral image was converted back to the RGB space. Testing results show that of the information entropies preserved by RPCA combined IHS method are 7.5275 and 7.4772, which means that the method proposed in the paper gives better results than conventional methods, such as PCA and IHS transform.
Abstract:An approach of road information extraction for the high-resolution remote sensing imagery was proposed based on local adaptive directional template match. The remote sensing imagery was segmented by means of the local adaptive directional template match and a binary image of the coarse road was obtained. Guided by the principle of local gray-scale consistency, the consistency of the input images was tested and the test results on local gray-scale of all the pixels in the image were received. Afterwards, the preliminary segmented results and the results of local gray-scale consistency test were fused to get a better original part of the road. Finally, the results after information fusion were filtered according to the different features of the road shapes and the original part of the road was attained. The areas of the road in the image are not too small as the road is successive from the space aspect. Accordingly, the parts of smaller area were removed on the basis of area index and non-road information was also removed based on the length-width ratio, so that the exacted results were obtained. The algorithm was verified by two high-resolution remote sensing images and it was compared with known road information exaction methods were accomplished. The results show that the road information can be more successfully exacted by this approach as shown in the experiment results.
Abstract:Image fusion is not only relative to the transfer of quantized information, but also should take if the information transfer can be accepted by human vision into account. Therefore, this paper designs a fusion image objective assessment method based on local variance and singular value decomposition to combine various human visual system sensitive information into an image. In order to assess the improvement of information, the local variance was used to describe the structure information of the image. As the local variance was sensitive to image details greatly, the singular value decomposition was used to obtain a energy matrix to display the local variance distribution. Then the mutual information was taken to measure the structure difference of source image and fusion image. Finally, the comparison above mentioned was taken as the assessment results. Experiment results show that the proposed method gives the best performance for the wavelet and pyramid methods, and the assessment results are 2.8790,1.9225 and 2.6298,1.9103,respectively, which has better consistency as compared with those of traditional human visual systems.

Abstract:In matching the under-registration images in a high dynamic environment, there is large rotation distortion meanwhile the images may turn into blur in motion states, so traditional algorithms fail to match the images accurately in real-time. To solve these problems, a registration algorithm of fuzzy image in the high dynamic environment was designed in this paper. Based on the analysis of the cause of the Scale Invarian Feature Transform(SIFT) algorithm's poor timeliness, the gray-scale transform was chosen as a threshold to change the pixels of image and to reduce the number of feature points. Then, simplified feature points were chosen to implement the feature matching to improve the accuracy of the registration. Finally, an experiment was performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method. Experimental results indicate that the number of matching-pairs and feature points are 10% that of the original algorithm; the stability is stronger than that of the original SIFT algorithm, and the ratio of matching-pair and feature points are reduced from 0.1505 to 0.1365. Compared with the traditional SIFT algorithm, this method owns better efficiency and stability, and can satisfy the requirements of image matching in the high dynamic environment.

In addition, imaging quality of EMCCD camera can be improved effectively. The research results provides design references for development of EMCCD cameras used in space sciences.shen.
Abstract:This paper focuses on applications of 3D measurement to the human body measuring and curvature surface registration of virtual trying on garment. In which, the binocular vision was used to get 3D human body data of 1:1 scale; then the 3D human data were processed to obtain a precise human model; finally, the garment data were taken to implement the trying on garment. To simplify the try-on method, the human model and the garment model were treated as a rigid, and the extremum point of the Gaussian curvature and the mean curvature of the two models as a matrix of coarse matching. To reduce the registration error, nonlinear minimum distance optimization algorithm, Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, was used, and the model of key feature points of minimum distance was taken as error parameters to obtain optimal transform matrix of corresponding feature point sets. Experimental results verify that Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm for surface registration is effective, where the error setting is 10 mm and the iteration number is 33 times. It is a simple, effective and stable fitting algorithm for promoting the research of 3D garment Compute Aided Design(CAD) and personalized virtual try-on.

The fusion experiments are performed by proposed method, and the final fusion image shows that it can display the vein distribution clearly and keep the epidermis color and detail features unchanged. Through the calculation, the average correlation coefficient, average gradient and the average spectral distortion to original color image are 0.8431, 1.730 and 8.6429 respectively. The results show that the proposed fusion algorithm is better than several other algorithms. It concludes that the proposed algorithm has an important application value in the field of vein display of the human body.
Abstract:A stereo matching method based on stable support points was proposed to improve its computing speed and disparity accuracy. With the method, a canny edge operator was used to detect the edge points of the image and act them as 'supporting points. Then those points were processed by a Delaunay triangulation algorithm to divide the whole image into a series of linked triangular facets. These facets were used as matching elements to compose the basic modules to perform a rude estimation of image disparity. Finally, according to the triangular property of shared vertices, the estimated disparity was refined and the disparity map was obtained. The method was tested by Middlebury stereo pairs on the platform, Experimental results show that the time cost of the method is about 1 s and the matching accuracy is 93% as compared with ground truth map. The proposed method has higher positioning accuracy and lower error mathing rate, and improves both the computing speed and computing accuracy. It forms a steady foundation and good application prospect for robot's path planning system with stereo camera devices.

Abstract:For particle filter inconsistency in mobile robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM),an improved unscented particle filter algorithm is proposed in this paper. To overcome this phenomenon mentioned above, the algorithm utilizes an iterated sigma point particle filter to generate more accurate proposal distribution, which fuses the robot's odometer information and laser information into sequential importance sampling routine through iterated update processing.

Abstract:On the basis of complementary and relevance between a visible image and an infraved image, a new method which is called multi-sensor super resolution method was proposed. Firstly, an adaptive edge detection algorithm was used to extract the edges of the infrared image, and edges were divided into related edges and nonrelated edges according to the relevance of the edges of infrared image and corresponding visible image area.

Experimental results also show that the proposed method enables reconstructing images to be better visual results and closely resembling the original high resolution images. The reconstructed images achieve better results on subjective visual effects and objective assessments.

Abstract:A fast depth decision algorithm for High Efficiency Video coding(HEVC) based on dimensional similarity in video sequences is proposed to improve its coding efficiency. As the difference between adjacent frames is in temporal, it implys strong dimensional similarity in inter-frame prediction. This paper analyzes the similar probability in Coding Unit(CU) depth between adjacent frames to pre-determine the depth of current CU. When the current CU does the depth splitting, its reference frame's CU depth information can be used to estimate the current CU depth. Then, it will jump over or stop some unnecessary deep splitting and to decrease the number of CU splittings and the coding computational complexity. The SKIP fast mode is also adopted to perform the fast determination. Experimental result shows that proposed algorithm reduces coding complexity by 52% as compared with original HEVC algorithm. Meanwhile, the average Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) only decreases 0.09 dB and the average coding rate is decreased by approximately 0.58%.

Abstract:A particle filter tracking method based on the saliency histogram was proposed to improve the stability of target tracking in a complex background. The saliency weights of hues in the histogram were determined by comparing the distribution of the hues in the target and the background. Then, a saliency histogram was established. The saliency histogram could restrain the disturbance from the background to the target by strengthening the recognition role of the hues existing only in the target. Thus, the accuracy of the target location could be improved. On the saliency histogram, the particle tracking algorithm was implemented and a simulation experiment was performed.The experimental results show that the method proposed in the paper can be applied to performance of the target tracking in the complex background with the low computation cost. Furthermore, the sizes of the particles are small because the model is accurate. As compared with the traditional particle tracking method, the proposed method has low tracking computation time for the single frame, and its average tracking computation time is less than 5 ms, which well satisfies the real-time requirement.
Abstract:To reduce the time cost of point cloud registration and to decrease the dimension of a descriptor, this paper proposes a pre-processing method to look up the overlap region of a point cloud. This method uses the region growing variant K-means clustering based on octree structure to block the point cloud, and then get the overlap region of point cloud by the triangle & point number decision formula. Moreover, a lower dimension descriptor named Local Dot Feature Histogram(LDFH) is also created based on a point cloud feature histogram in the key point description. The pre-processing method decreases about 10%-20% data volume of point cloud and removes some unnecessary redundant operation. As compared with the Fast Point Feature Histogram(FPFH) descriptor, the proposed LDFH algorithm just has 24-dimension and takes the computation time by 15%. When the methods proposed in this paper are used to register point cloud data in practice, the proposed method can complete small geometry solid registration for one cubic meter in less than five minute. The proposed algorithm achieves the goals of reducing the cost time, lowering descriptor dimension, and has a good effect in actual registration.
Abstract:When the sum-powers and peak powers of transmit antennas are constrained, the linear precoders of multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) systems can not well adapt to the practical applications. Therefore, this paper proposes a linear MIMO precoder optimization algorithm with maximizing channel capacity under joint power constraints(sum-powers and maximum eigenvalue) based on the convex optimization theory. By mining the internal property of the eigenvalue-decomposition of the power matrix, an exact closed-form of eigenmode is given and a two-dimensional searching method for deriving the values of the eigenvalues is proposed. As the searching points in every dimension are less than the number of the transmit antennas launched by the system, the algorithm has lower computational complexity and higher computer efficiency. Finally, simulation results verify the efficiency of the proposed method.

Abstract:According to the shortcomings of Direction of Arrival(DOA) estimation methods and subspace updating algorithm, this paper proposes a particle filtering algorithm combined with the DOA estimation algorithm for DOA tracking with an acoustic vector sensor array. First, the observation model based on the acoustic vector sensor array was set up, and the state equation was deduced on the basis of the second-order model of uniform velocity. Then, the quaternion Multiple Signal Classification(MUSIC) algorithm was used to improve the observed likelihood function of the particle filtering algorithm and a improved tracking algorithm was proposed. Finally, the performance of each algorithm was simulated. Experimental results show that the mentioned algorithm achieves DOA real-time tracking. As compared with the subspace tracking algorithm and particle filtering algorithm, the tracking error of the proposed algorithm is smaller. When a Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR) is less than-10 dB, the tracking errors of tracking algorithms based on the particle filtering algorithm are within 4°, thus they can adapt to a lower SNR environment.

Abstract:To measure the wear of circular saw blade of an automatic magnesium oxide board cutting machine on line, this paper designs a circular saw blade wear measuring algorithm based on machine vision. Firstly, the possible corners of circular saw blade are found using 8 neighborhood gray similarity sifting algorithm based on an adaptive threshold. Then, some pseudo corners which are not the only one or its corner response function values are not the largest among the neighborhoods are removed. The tip points of circular saw blade are determined among the corners according to whether their value is the maximum, and the sub-pixel coordinates of tip points of circular saw blade are calculated using cubic surface fitting. The radius of the circular saw blade is calculated with least square method. Then, through the known relationship between camera coordinate and world coordinate, the actually wear value of circular saw blade is obtained. At last, tool wears for two kinds of circular saw blades are calculated using the classical Harris algorithm, improved Harris algorithm and the proposed algorithm in the paper respectively. The results show that the detection time of the algorithm proposed is only 29.9% and 29.7% that of classic Harris algorithm respectively, and 145.7% and 126.5% of that of improved Harris algorithm respectively. The correct ratios of classic Harris algorithm are 100% and 50% respectively, and those for improved Harris algorithm are 71.4% and 37.5%, for proposed algorithm are 100% and 100% respectively. Therefore, the algorithm proposed in the paper is much better than other two algorithms and it is an effective and efficient method for measuring the tool wear.
Abstract:On the basis of shift-invariant Shearlet domain fuzzy processing, an image fusion method with improved fuzzy rules was proposed. First of all, infrared and visible light images were processed by Shift Invariant Shearlet Transformation(SIST)to decomposed into low-pass and high-pass subbands. For low frequency subband coefficients, the rules of local area information entropy was used. For high frequency subband coefficients,the Shearlet transform frame redundancy was considered. To solve the redundant information of the high frequency subbands, the infrared and visible light image membership degree, non-belongingness degree, the hesitation degree of high-frequency sub-band figure and the optimal entropy were calculated. The two coefficient images were decomposed, then the total count of blackness, whiteness of two corresponding blocks are computed. Finally, the block of the blended coefficient image was constructed and the infrared and visible light images were obtained by using the SIST. This method effectively eliminates the Gibbs phenomenon, and offers an edge keeping degree more than 0.85.

Abstract:To match rigidly star images with multi-screens, a shape context based registration method by using geometric invariants was proposed. First, denoise methods, segmented method and morphology method were applied to star images to extract star points, so that centroid of star points could be calculated. Then, feature descriptors for every star point were calculated based on geometric invariants among all stars. Each descriptor was used to represent the relationship between this star and others. A price function to evaluate the similarity between star points was constructed to get a star match pair set between the two images. Finally, random sample consensus robust method was used to remove wrong star match pairs and calculate registration parameters for the space transform. Experimental results demonstrate that proposed method can successfully match the image with different number of feature points and different brightnesses in a sub-pixel level. For two group images with the size of 4608*3072 and different ISOs, the proposed method can offer the registration accuracy near 0.5 pixel, which meets the requirements of the registration.
Abstract:On the basis of modern radar signal processing, this paper explores the feasibility of high frequency and large bandwidth sparse signals processed by Analog-to-Information Converter(AIC) and analyzes the noise effects of the AIC in practical applications. It explains the low bandwidth characteristics of the radar signals and the resolution and performance limitation of Analog-to-Digital Converter(ADC). Then, this paper evaluates the impact of signals with jitters and aperture noise on the AIC in signal processing, and compares the performance between the AIC and the ADC. It points out that the jitter and aperture noise limit the achievable ADC resolution. Finally, a system evaluation framework for examining these limitations is proposed. The evaluation shows that the performance of AIC is better than that of the ADC obviously when the aperture parameter T is fixed and the sparsity S is less than 0.35. However, when S is larger than 0.35, the influence of aperture will be serious. But the AIC is still implementation well through cross validation. It concludes that the currently proposed AIC benefits over high-speed ADC in near future.
Abstract:To correct the random shift of rotation center of a full field transmission X-ray microscopy nano-scale CT and suppress the reconstruction artifacts, a method based on the calculation formula of mass center and the least square sinusoid fitting was proposed and investigated. First, the projection sinogram was obtained by the logarithm operation on the original data captured by a detector. Then the mass center position was calculated out in row by row at each view angle and the sinusoid curve was fitted by least square method. Finally, the random shift of the mass center was obtained and inputted to the image reconstruction formula to correct the shift of the rotation center. The results from the numerical simulation with the Shepp-Logan phantom and the experiment by a micro-nano composite with a diameter of 60μm at the full field transmission X-ray nano-scale CT system of Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility indicate that the normalized root square error after correction is less than 0.3412 and the reconstruction accuracy is improved by 82%. The proposed method can correct the random shift of the rotation center and suppress the reconstruction artifacts. Compared with current methods, it shows better practicability.

Abstract:The extent of face absorption light changing along with the heart beat rate was verified, and a heart rate acquisition system based on the facial image processing was designed. Human face images were sampled in a video form by the system and they were processed in two steps. The first step was the processing of a single image. Firstly, an achromatic color model was built to correct the color of the original image and to remove the interference from light brings. Then, the sample area was positioned using a histogram and facial features, and the image was enhanced in space and time domains. Furthermore, narrowband gray input values were mapped to the output value broadband and to separate the illumination component and the reflection component, so the interference caused by uneven light irradiation could be further erased. Finally, the mean reflection of single image was calculated. In the second step, the wavelet transform and Hilbert algorithm were used to process the mean curve consisting of all the images and to eliminate the baseline drift wave, making the R wave more likely to be detected and to get the heart rate finally. Experimental results under many conditions show that the heart rate error is no more than 8% under a good light condition, and that is no more than 20% at a poor light condition. Basically, the system achieves the functional requirement of the heart rate calculation by sampling the light of some face region changes. Due to limitations of the camera sampling rate, the real-time performance of the system is updating every 5 s in the case of signal integrity ensured.
Abstract:To obtain the three-dimensional laser images of moving targets, this paper establishes a range-gated laser active imaging system, and puts forward a laser image registration algorithm based on image quality evaluation and mutual information. The principle of ICCD imaging and imaging systems based on range gated were introduce. On the basis of the mutual information, the entire process of registration algorithm was described in detail. For how to choose the slice images as a reference image in moving target range gated imaging, the standard of quality evaluation was introduced before the registration, and the laser image registration algorithm based on image quality evaluation and mutual information was implemented. Experimental results indicate that brightness, Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR), average gradient and edge strength have obvious distinction, which can be as standards to select a better image in laser range-gated slice image. The reference image selection based on the image quality evaluation can effectively reduce the error registration, and the entire registration algorithm accuracy reaches to 0.01 pixel. The algorithm offers high precision and strong robustness, and is especially suitable for the laser image registration of moving targets.

Abstract:An automatic measurement method by using a single image is presented based on image processing to reduce the cost of truck's box volume measurement. The method locates feature points of a target with an Active Shape Model(ASM) algorithm and calculates the ground surface that the truck is placed and establishes virtual reality environments by using the camera's intrinsic parameters and a 3D model. Then, the truck's initial pose is estimated with EPnP algorithm, and a geometry correction algorithm is used to correct the geometry of the 3D model to match the truck automatically. Under the constraints of ground surface's equations and control points, the 3D model in a virtual reality enviroment is the same as the real truck. Finally, the truck's box volumes is figured out by calculating the 3D model's box volume. Experiment results show that the proposed method can measure the volume of the truck's box automatically with a single truck image and the error of truck's box volume is within 5%. The measuring system is simple, and has good real-time performance and important practical values.
Abstract:A perceptual hashing algorithm for multispectral remote sensing images based on the synthetical characteristics of each band content was proposed to realize the authentication of multispectral images and to locate the tamper at the concrete band. Firstly, the multispectral remote sensing image was preprocessed and the feature extraction method for each band was determined by the information richness of the band. Then, the content feature of each band was extracted by edge extraction method and Discrete Cosine Transformation(DCT). Finally, the extracted feature was constructed based on the further compressed and normalized features, and the final perceptual hash value for the multispectral remote sensing image was obtained. The authentication was realized by comparing the difference between the recomputed perceptual hash value and the original hash value. The experiments indicate that the proposed algorithm can realize content integrity authentication for multispectral remote sensing images, and can locate the tamper at the concrete band of the image, which overcomes the defects of the existing perceptual hash algorithm without considering the feature of multispectral remote sensing images, and guarantees the effective utilization of multi-spectral images.
Abstract:A multi-modal image registration algorithm under the framework of P system was proposed by combining the parallel property of membrane computing with Differential Evolution(DE) algorithm, which was named as DE-MCIR(Differential Evolution-Multi-modal Computing Image Registration) algorithm. A cell-like P system of membrane structure was designed, and each object in membranes represented a group of transform parameters of floated images. All objects of each elementary membranes were evolved by modified DE algorithm. At the same time, the designed two exchange rules were used to update the best parameters. Finally, the global optimal object was stored in the skin membrane. The approach was tested on satellite images and infrared and visual images. For the experiment of satellite images, the average mutual information of DE-MCIR is 1.4306, and the standard deviation is 0.00341; For the experiment of multi-modal satellite images, the average mutual information of DE-MCIR is 0.0402, and the standard deviation is 0.00016; For the experiment of multi-modal real images, the average mutual information of DE-MCIR is 0.0125, and the standard deviation is 0.00187. These results reveal that DE-MCIR algorithm has better registration accuracy, global convergence, and robustness, and its performance is better than that of the Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Algorithm(PSO) and PSO Powell algorithm.

Abstract:3D calibration targets have higher cost and are difficult to be fabricated. When they are calibrated, the control points for calibration should be extracted by manual intervention. Therefore, this paper designs a calibration stereo target with two parallel calibration planes by taking coded markers as the control points. The calibration stereo target is applied to camera calibration to improve its automation level. The two calibration planes of the new calibration target are placed by a parallel mode, so that the camera observes the two calibration planes with small viewpoint change and the perspective distortions can be reduced. Each control point is constituted by a circular coded marker, which is utilized to realize automatic recognition without manual intervention. Experiment results show that the calibration target can be correctly recognized under a large illumination and viewpoint change. When it is applied to stereo camera calibration, the mean re-projection errors of both cameras are less than 0.075 pixels and the position measurement error is less than 1 mm. The calibration target reduces the complexity of the calibration and is suitable for the engineering applications.
Abstract:To improve the efficiency and accuracy of human action recognition in the home environment, a method of action recognition based on Principal Component Analysis(PCA) of Kinect data was proposed and realized. Firstly, the time series data of human action feature description was collected by Kinect, and human pose description vector was constructed. Then, the PCA method was used to analyze the difference between the feature values at different time points and to obtain the recons-tructed eigenvalues, by which the distinction between different types of actions can be more obvious. Moreover, the action discription feature of the redundancy was filtered to reduce the redundancy and noise, which was conducive to the judgment and recognition for the human action. Finally, the recognition and classification of the action were performed based on the features of the reconstruction and the nearest neighbor principle. The experimental results show that the accuracy of this method is more than 80% for the simple human motion recognition. The identification time of a single sample is 1.67 ms and 3.93 ms, respectively. It can satisfy the human action recognition requirements for higher precision, strong anti-interference ability and real-time recognition.
Abstract:The synthesis precision of an arbitrary virtual viewpoint image and the movement range of a virtual viewpoint were mainly studied. A novel and effective method to synthesize a new arbitrary virtual viewpoint image based on two images was proposed. The simplified model of the viewpoint images was established in a proper coordinate system to analyze the projective geometry relationship of the corresponding points between the input viewpoint images and the arbitrary virtual viewpoint image. Each image was processed by the feature point extraction, correspondence matching and view parallel, triangular segmentation, texture matching, perspective projection transformation. An arbitrary virtual view image was generated in the space only using the positional ratio parameters between input viewpoints and virtual viewpoint. Using this method, complex three-dimensional reconstruction and camera calibration are avoided, and the limitation of the movement range of the virtual viewpoint based on traditional View Morphing technology also is solved. The experiments and simulation results show that the arbitrary virtual viewpoint images can be obtained only using the positional ratio parameters between input viewpoints and virtual viewpoint through the method proposed in this paper, even if the two input images can't be parallel completely. The proposed method is reasonable and effective.
Abstract:To further improve the effect of the super-resolution reconstruction(SRR) of remote sensing images and reduce its time-consuming, a three level training BP Neural Network(BPNN) was established. The research was focused on the acquisition of training samples, selections of input-output training samples, and the design of BPNN structure and training algorithm. A remote sensing image degradation model was set up. Then, training sample images were got by undersampled and subpixel-shifted method. The input-output training sample images were selected by variance comparison. Finally, three groups remote sensing images with different super-resolution mapping modes were used as the input-output training samples for the same BPNN. The net was continuously trained and learned three cycles, and image size and spatial resolution were improved three times. Experimental results indicate that the three level training BPNN for the SRR of remote sensing image can obtain better SRR effect and higher spatial resolution in the process of fitting remote sensing image SRR mapping, and the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) is improved about 6 dB than that of other ordinary super-resolution algorithm. For preserving more image details and reducing reconstructing time, it is more suitable for practical applications of remote sensing images.

Abstract:A novel multi-source image matching strategy based on line feature extraction algorithm was proposed to overcome the shortcoming of point feature matching algorithm. Firstly, image edge points were detected and connected into curves, and the edge line segment was extracted by utilizing multi-scale strategy. Then, based on the spatial proximity and relative significance, the edge line segment was divided into lots of groups, and each of them was regarded as a feature of line called line labels. Finally, the similarity between the lines was computed according to the line geometry. Consequently, whether the two line labels are similar could be verified and then they were matched by the fast matching algorithm. Similar to local feature, the line feature is robust and adapted to changes of angle of view. Compared to matching approaches based on existing local features, the proposed method is more suitable for the images with low-texture scenes, blurring-texture scenes, high changing of illumination or multi-source scenes. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm has scale invariant, rotate invariant and illumination invariant and can solve the situation in which point feature matching algorithm is not available and the matching accuracy is within one pixel.
Abstract:To improve the detection precision of a geostationary satellite orbit determination system, a target recognition method based on local region multi-feature correlation was proposed by analyzing the characteristics of a star image taken by a drift-scan CCD. A morphological filter method was used to suppress the background of star image and eliminate its non-uniformity. After homogenizing the image background, the correlation coefficients of three features(pixel values, contrast ratios and linear correlation) in local region were analyzed. On the basis of correlation coefficients, the optimal threshold was determinect to isolate the pixels of the satellites and the background stars and ultimately to identify the pixels of the satellite targets. The star images of geostationary satellite were processed, the experimental results show that this method removes the influence of background stars on target recognition, decreases error detection rate and accurately detects geostationary satellite targets. It can fulfill the requirement of reliability, stabilization and accuracy of geostationary satellite orbit determination.
Abstract:As the oblique angle projection of horizontal even fringes on a reference plane will generate uneven fringes with bidirectional distortion, this paper proposes a method to generate horizontal partitional uneven sine fringes to reduce the measuring errors of horizontal even fringes. With the proposed method, this kind of uneven fringes' pixel-phase relationship was described by partitional function. When this kinds of fringes were projected, the even fringes with uniform distribution could be obtained on the reference plane. So the nonlinear relation between the pixel and the phase could be improved in phase unwrapping results and the measuring accuracy would be optimized. A simulation experiment on a plane with a height of 50 mm shows that the mean value of uneven fringe projection measurement error is 0.4099 mm, and the mean value of even fringes is 2.5235 mm. Moreover, that for a globe with a height of 50 mm shows that the symmetry error ranges from 3.1% to 9.3% for projecting even fringes, whereas that ranges from 0.03% to 1.6% for projecting uneven fringes. The measurement accuracy has be increased by horizontal partitional uneven fringes projection.
Abstract:A target tracking method based on the affine transformation and uniform sampling was proposed to solve the issues that targets may generate different geometric transformations such as scaling, rotating and beveling in the process of image tracking. Based on the particle filter algorithm, six affine parameters were set as the stable variables to predict likely deformation of the target. Then, the target modeling and candidate target modeling were constructed by uniform sampling in the affine parameter area. A similarity measuring function was selected for calculation of gray differences between two sampling sites to create a monitoring model, thus the optimal estimation of the state variables was obtained and then stable tracking of the target was realized. The simulation experiment demonstrates that the proposed method can stably track geometric deformation targets,and the deviation is less than 10 pixel. The robustness and accuracy of the method are definitely superior to that of traditional target tracking method as well as other tracking method based on affine transformation and feature modeling.

Firstly, a rigid transformation model between template and target was built and the residual similarity between template and target image was established.Then Sobel algorithm was used for folded operation of the images detected in the x direction and the y direction to get the directional diagram of the images. The Jacobian matrix of the images to be detected was calculated using this directional diagram, as long as the transformation matrix was calculated using BI-linear interpolation after image rigid transformation. Finally, the target location of sub pixel where the residual similarity between template and directional diagram reach the minimum was detected using Gauss-Newton algorithms, and the recoanition accuracy was in sub-pixel. Experimental results show that the precision of work-piece recoanition is 0.1 pixel, which satisfies the requirement of high accuracy recognition on work-pieces.

Abstract:The seismic signals generated by recognizing targets in a perimeter intrusion defense system based on a seismometer are very weak and difficult to be directly identified. So the signal features of the targets need to be extracted before target identification.This paper presents a new method of target recognition based on wavelet packet analysis and BP neural networks.Firstly, target motion signals captured by a front detector were proposed by using wavelet denoising. Then, the signals were decomposed and reconstructed with wavelet packet analysis, and the feature values of reconstructed signals were extracted to construct feature vectors. Furthermore, the feature vectors were used as the inputs of the BP neural networks to carry on learning and training various types of target characteristics.Finally, the trained neural network were used to identify the targets on-line. Recognition result for 30 groups of data from the seismometer(6 kinds of distance, 5 sets) shows that the desired output vector of the network and the actual output vector of the network is consistent, and the target recognition accuracy reaches to 99%. It concludes that this method can effectively identify the target of perimeter intrusion defense systems.

Abstract:How to capture the directions and distribution of refraction stars in refraction starlight navigation was researched. To obtain the information of the refraction stars, a method to analyze the distribution of refraction stars on standard orbit was proposed. By proposed method, the direction of refractive starlight from a spacecraft at a special position could be obtained by adjusting the attitude of a star sensitive sensor. On the basis of star information gotten in specific time interval, three kinds of influences on refraction stars' number and distribution were calculated according to the geometric positional relationship of the sun, the moon and the earth. Comparing the stars' number and distribution before and after the interferences, a navigation simulation was analyzed. The experimental results show that the largest source of interference is the earth, followed by the sun, the moon. Under the three interferences, refraction navigation, blank section may exist for the spacecraft. In the range of navigation blank section navigation error increases rapidly, instantaneous position error in r direction could be 20 times larger than before. It is verified that the method proposed to analyze interference on refraction starlight navigation has important practical significance, especially in design of navigation methods, adjusting star sensor's attitude, and predicting navigation blank section.
