Abstract:To improve the accuracy of frequency measurement in a polarization modulation range-finding system, a method based on dual-directional frequency sweep was proposed. First, the principle of the ranging method and the relationship between frequency and ranging stability were analyzed. Then, factors influencing frequency drift, as well as the changing law of drift in the system, were discussed, and it was proved that modulation depth and thermally induced additional phase delay are important factors affecting frequency drift. Accordingly, a compensation method was proposed to compensate for the frequency drift caused by additional thermal phase delay, which can be realized with low modulation depth. Experimental results show that, for the target at 15.23 m, the standard deviation of frequency measurement decreased from 3.822 9×10 4 Hz to 5.807 5×103 Hz, the ranging error decreased from 7.513 7 mm to 0.866 7 mm, and the validity of the method was verified.

The principal section is closely related to the phase-matching angle and the absorption coefficient of the frequency-doubling crystal. To orient the principal section accurately, an indirect measurement method is presented based on light intensity. A measurement system was established using a laser, power stabilizer, half-plate, crystal, polarizer, and analyzer. The position of extinction, which was the principal section of the crystal, was obtained by rotating the polarizer and analyzer simultaneously. The Jones matrix model for the measurement system was deduced, and an expression formula for the relationship between light intensity, polarizer, and analyzer was derived. Through least squares curve fitting, the orientation of the principal section can be found. The validity of the model was verified using the simulation and experimental results. The test data show that the repeatability of orientation was better than 0.02°. The location accuracy of this method satisfies the requirements of KDP or DKDP frequency-doubling crystals in the ICF.

Abstract:In order to further improve the surface quality of polyimide (PI) optics, the polishing method based on reactive ion etching (RIE) for polyimide membrane is proposed. The principle and experimental research for the method are discussed. With the low surface tension and mobility of the PR fluid, the surface defect on the PI surface will be filled by coating the PR on. Combined with the high anisotropic and equal etching rate RIE for PR and PI, the smooth surface of PR can be transferred to the PI precisely. Finally, the polishing of PI membrane can be realized. Experimental results indicate that the rough surface with PV and RMS of 1.347μmand 340nmcan be reduced to 75nm and 13nm after double polishing. The surface roughness of 61nmPV and 8nm RMS can be reduced to 9nm and 1nm. The polishing method based on RIE can improve the surface finish of PI membrane efficiently, which can provide a new ideas for the precision manufacturing of polymer flexible devices represented by PI.

Abstract:High-speed magnetically suspended turbo molecular pump (TMP) have been widely used in the industrial-applications for high energy density, micro-vibration, and no lubrication requirements. However, the AMB system will lose magnetic force once the mains power fails, which may cause severe damage to the rotor and stator system. In this paper, an improved power failure compensation control (PFCC) method based on average power balance control (APBC) is proposed. Firstly, a motor energy feedback circuit is designed. Then, a nonlinear controller consisting of double control loops is proposed, of which the fast inner current loop uses sliding mode control (SMC) and outer voltage loop uses the APBC. The Lyapunov function is structured and analyzed to ensure the system stability; Finally, a platform based on high-speed magnetically suspended TMP is built. Several experiment results verify that the proposed PFCC method has fast response and robustness, meanwhile, the touchdown speed of rotor reduced to 3900 r/min from rated speed 21000 r/min with a higher energy conversion efficiency up to 96.6%, which greatly improved the safety of AMB system.

Abstract:In view of the problem that the traditional path planning method of free floating space robot has large disturbance to the base seat satellite, a path planning method based on the parameterization of control variables is proposed. The method transforms the path planning problem into an optimal control problem with the minimum of the base posture disturbance as the objective function and a series of constraints. The control variable parameterization method is used to discretize the problem, and the optimal control problem is transformed into a nonlinear programming problem, and a complete theoretical convergence proof is given. Thus, the optimal path of the end effector of the free floating space robot can be accurately estimated. The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional method of decomposition acceleration, the attitude disturbance of the base satellite caused by the motion path of the method is 0.104rad, which is 17.53% lower than the traditional method, which verifies the effectiveness and the optimality of the proposed path planning method.
Abstract:In this study, a new highefficiency and highprecision Zpin preinsertion based on a combination cam was developed to solve the problems, such as low efficiency, easy breaking, and slipping of Zpin insertion. One of the aims is also to promote the application of the Zpin composite technology in both military and civil fields. First, the functional requirements of the preinsertion machine were analyzed according to the preinsertion technology requirements of laminated composite members of the rectangletype aviation. Second, the mechanism motion scheme of the “shear after implant” combined camtype program was proposed for the preinsertion machine. The cam mechanism of the preinsertion machine was designed using the analytical method, and the theoretical profile curve of the cam mechanism was deduced. Third, the elastic dynamics model, including the clearance cam mechanism, was constructed. Next, the rotational speed of the combined cam was optimized, and its virtual prototype motion simulation was performed. Subsequently, the experimental prototype was designed and manufactured, and the correctness and rationality of the combined cam design were verified by conducting the implant experiment. The implant motion scheme was optimized according to the problems found in the experiment. The experimental results showed that the scheme could greatly improve the efficiency of the Zpin implantation. Its efficiency reached 5 080 mm2/min, the implantation success rate was controlled above 99%, and the implant parameters such as the implant spacing, implantation depth, and fiber length were controlled within ±0.01 mm. Hence, the preimplanting machine is easy to operate, humanmachine interfacefriendly, stable in longterm operation, and there are no problems such as Zpin breaking, which can meet the current requirements of implant efficiency and implantation accuracy of Zpin implanted devices.
Abstract:To meet the requirements of timeliness and reliability of the lunar rover system for obstacle detection, a semi-global stereo matching algorithm based on plane constraint and adaptive penalty coefficient is proposed. Firstly, the SIFT feature extraction and matching algorithm is used for the two images of epipolar rectification, and meanwhile edges are extracted. Secondly, the matched SIFT feature points is used to fit the plane, and the disparity search ranges of all pixels are estimated respectively in left and right images. Finally, based on the traditional semi-global matching algorithm, the adaptive penalty parameter strategy is applied to the stereo matching of the left and right images. The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively reduce the computational complexity which is only 19.9% that of the traditional methods, and this method can obtain the correct matching results for the disparity discontinuous region and the occlusion region. Compared with the traditional semi global matching method, the processing speed and the matching accuracy are obviously improved. The method can lay the foundation for the further application.
Abstract:The planar targets with circular marked points are widely used in the camera calibration and visual measurement. Due to the planar targets, to get the real circular center in the image and improve the calibration precision, one circular center extraction method based on the geometric characteristics of dual conic is proposed. The key of this method is that the dual conic matrix of the marked point, A, in the image has a generalized eigenvector associated with the dual conic matrix of the marked point, B, in the image, and this generalized eigenvector passes through the two center projections of both points A and B. As a result, after getting the sub-pixel edge points and fitting the ellipse conic function, a vector linking the two center projections can be computed by the dual conics matrices of two marked points. And the standardized interpoint of the eigenvectors will be the center projection.
To test the extraction accuracy of the center projection with the proposed method, the center projection of a huge marked point with a diameter 90mm is extracted when the relative angle between the CCD and the target plane is 40°, and the errors are within 0.1~1 pixel. Then the cameras’ parameters of a handheld scanner are calibrated with these center projections. Moreover, a 3D workpiece and the planar target with known marked points are scanned by the handheld scanner, the distance errors are within 0.2mm. By contrast, the extraction accuracy of this proposed method is higher than elliptical center as well as the precision of the camera calibration.

Abstract:Auto-focusing method has been widely used in various optical instruments. Aiming at the problem of auto-focusing of push-broom hyperspectral camera, a method is proposed to estimate the focus of a camera by using the spectral quality evaluation function based on quaternion wavelet transform. Firstly, the single-line spectral data of the push sweep line is arranged into a two-dimensional matrix, and the matrix is decomposed into four low-frequency and high-frequency subbands. The spectral quality evaluation function is constructed by using the low-frequency and high-frequency amplitude and phase information to realize auto-focus. In the process of focusing, the spectral quality metrics is calculated in different focuses by rotating the lens at a certain stride length by an auto-focus mechanism. A Gaussian distribution function is fitted between the spectral quality metrics and the amount of expansion and contraction of lens. Finally, the optimal focus is estimated. Our results have shown that the proposed evaluation function of spectral quality has better sensitivity, accuracy. The auto-focus method has good accuracy due to using only a single line of spectral data for focusing.
Abstract:In order to improve the efficiency and quality of aerospace software testing, an approach to cross-company aerospace software defect prediction is proposed, especially for the scarcity of within-company software and the long cycle of development. Considering the complexity, large scale and independent function of aerospace software, the idea of building a defect prediction model based on static classification is proposed. In this paper, the transfer learning method is introduced. Using the nearest neighbor classifier and data gravity model, the distribution characteristics of training data are corrected to improve the similarity between training data and target data. In order to improve the generalization ability of the model to adapt to the diversity of target data, a small amount of target data is added to the training data for model training. The approach is applied on the test of aerospace software testing. The results of application show that, compared with the existing software defect prediction methods, the proposed method can effectively improve the recall rate (close to 0.6) ever with a low false alarm rate (not higher than 0.3). The overall credibility is effectively enhanced (G- measure is over 0.6), and the method has high stability and strong generalization ability. This method can control the test scale in practical project and improve the test efficiency.
Abstract:Target detection for hyperspectral image(HSI) is a hot topic, due to its important military and civilian applications. This paper proposes a novel target detection algorithm for HSI based on tensor representation. The algorithm employs tensor analysis including CP decomposition and tensor block decomposition to implement blind source seperation to the hyperspectral data. Effective spatial and spectral features of blocks of local image were extracted. And then the algorithm establishes a detection model based on sparse representation and collaborative representation. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of our approach under multiple scenes with complex background. From the visual representation of the results, it can be concluded that the proposed approach effectively extracts the spatial-spectral features under scenes with strong noise and complex background. The approach has good ability to suppress the background and the target is salient. In addition, the performance of the approach is evaluated by quatitative metrics such as receiver operating curve (ROC) and area under the ROC curve (AUC). Taking the popular HSI image-Sandiego image as an example, the approach achieves 90% detection rate with the false alarm rate of 10% and the AUC is greate than 0.95. Our approach ourperforms the other popular ones.
