To achieve this objective, a phase-shifting locking system was investigated for the stepping/scanning exposure trajectory of SBIL. Firstly, based on a previously proposed homodyne frequency-shifting interference pattern locking system and a heterodyne Littrow grating interferometer, a novel phase-shifting locking system scheme was proposed for SBIL.

Abstract:To improve the angular accuracy of the polarization imaging orientation sensor, an error propagation model of the polarization imaging orientation sensor based on Stokes vector was established. The principal point deviation, lens distortion, and CMOS planar inclination were studied. First, the polarization azimuth calculation method was derived according to the polarization measurement principle of the Stokes vector. Then, the effects of principal point deviation, lens distortion, CMOS plane tilt, and gray response inconsistency were explored. The Monte Carlo method was used to analyze the measurement error of the polarization azimuth. The rationality of the model established was verified by simulation and skylight imaging experiments. The experimental results show that the CMOS gray response inconsistency has the greatest impact on the measurement error of orientation. In the range of (-6, 6) pixels, the measurement error is within 0.11°, and the mean has an overall offset of 0.12°. The principle point deviation changes (-1.5, +1.5) pixels, the distortion shifts (-1, +1) pixel, the CMOS plane tilt is (-0.5°, +0.5°), and the CMOS gray response deviation is (-6, +6) pixels; under the joint action, the measurement error of orientation is 0.236 3°(σ). The error propagation model may reflect how the error source impacts the accuracy of orientation measurement, and it provides a basis and reference for optimal design of the polarization imaging orientation sensor.

Abstract:To develop a weak-light detector that meets the needs of space gravitational wave detection in the future, the performance detection of weak-light detectors was initially carried out, and the performance parameters, such as responsiveness, response bandwidth and background noise, of the detectors were analyzed, for finding out the method and solution of weaklight detector development that can meet the requirements of future space gravitational wave detection. Firstly, according to the design scheme of the space gravitational wave detection, e.g. Taiji, including laser power, orbit design and star spacing, the parameters of the detector required by Taiji were calculated. Next, three kinds of weaklight detectors were developed by the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation No.44 Research Institute, Southwest Institute of Technical Physics, Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with joint efforts of our research group. Finally, the responsivity, response bandwidth, and background noise of the detectors were tested by the lownoise heterodyne laser interferometry system developed by our research group, and the factors affecting the performance of the detectors were analyzed. The experimental results show that the responsiveness of two detectors is better than 1.8×105 V/W and that the response bandwidth is greater than 10 MHz. The ground noise of the three detectors is lower than 10 pm/Hz@10 mHz (0.1 mHz1 Hz), and the signaltonoise ratio is higher than 20 dB. According to the aforementioned experimental results, the three detectors have the potential to meet the requirements of the Taiji Pathfinder in terms of responsiveness, response bandwidth, and signal-to-noise ratio.
Abstract:To understand the nanosecond laser derusting process and reveal the derusting mechanism, the surface morphology and roughness of AH32 marine steel after laser derusting under different process parameters was studied. First, a nanosecond-pulse laser was used to clean the rust layer of the sample surface under different process parameters. Then, the surface roughness after cleaning was measured using laser scanning confocal microscopy, the micromorphology was measured by scanning electron microscopy, and an elemental analysis was performed using an energy dispersive spectrometer. Finally, the nanosecond laser derusting mechanism of AH32 marine steel was revealed combined with the experimental results. The experimental results indicated that the cleaned morphology was improved, and that the surface roughness was reduced under stepwise laser cleaning with energy densities of 30.6 and 10.2 J/cm2 at a scanning speed of 3 000 mm/s. Moreover, under the above cleaning conditions, the micromorphology of the matrix exhibited a micromelting state after laser derusting, in which the spot was smooth and uniform and the edge of the spot was distributed with a dendritic mastoid structure. It can be concluded that the use of a stepwise laser cleaning process can yield a better cleaning effect and higher cleaning efficiency. The derusting mechanism mainly includes hole blasting and melting-vaporization.

Abstract:To meet the requirements of the high dynamic characteristics and the low quality of the main support structure, this paper carries out the optimized design and test verification of the main support structure. Firstly, to solve the problem that classic support structures cannot be applied to this system, a general structural form combining the frame type structure and the thin-walled tubular structure is proposed, which is convenient to integrate the hood and structure to reduce the quality and ensure the rigidity. Secondly, multi-variable integration optimization method is adopted to improve the first-order mode from 127 Hz to 156 Hz when the quality requirement is also met. This fact indicates that the dynamic characteristics has been effectively improved. Then, in order to determine the influence of the vibration environment on the system MTF, the influence of the vibration environment on the system MTF is analyzed by the combination of finite element analysis and sensitivity matrix. The scope of application shows that the structure can be applied to an airborne system with a pixel size bigger than 10μm. Finally, the effectiveness and feasibility of the design method and analysis process are verified by the vibration test and the wavefront aberration detection test. The optimized design method proposed in this paper can provide reference for the optimized design of airborne remote sensing instrument structure. This paper will contribute to the development of structure design technique for airborne remote sensing instruments.

Abstract:Aiming at the problem of mechanical resonance in the control system of Aeronautical optoelectronic stabilization platform, a novel structural filter based on double T notch filter is proposed. The new structure filter consists of two double T notch and a low-pass filter, which can suppress both resonant and anti-resonant peaks, and overcome the defect that a single notch filter cannot handle the anti-resonance. Compared with the double quadratic filter, the parameter adjustment of the structural filter is more flexible, and its peak size and width can be adjusted at the same time. The experimental results show that compared with the double quadratic filter, the resonance curve fitted by the structural filter matches the actual sweep curve better. The stability accuracy of the control system is improved by 5.74 times and the closed-loop bandwidth is increased by 4.54 times,after adding structural filter to compensate the model. The new structure filter has obvious effect on suppressing mechanical resonance and improving the performance of control system.

The designed IRITS can supply feature points by sharp boundary from different radiation areas for the infrared camera, and the root-mean-square of back-projection error is leas than 0.16 pixel. These results indicated that the IRITS can be used to calibrate infrared camera precisely.
Abstract:Image style transfer exploits the specified style for modifying the given image. The generative adversarial networks (GAN) introduction to image style transfer can reduce the user intervention, achieve the rich results. However, in some cases the pair data required by the classical GAN is difficult to obtain. In order to cancel the pair data requirement and improve the style transfer efficiency, the paper proposes an image style transfer method based on the improved cycle-consistent adversarial networks (CycleGAN), in which the deep residual network (ResNet) adopted by the conventional network generator is replaced by the dense connection convolution network (DenseNet), and a novel loss function composed by the same mapping loss and the perceptual loss is used for measuring the style transfer loss. The experiments of building image transferred by the oil, sketch and ink painting style are conducted, and the comparison among the results transferred by wasserstein generative adversarial networks (WGAN), the classical CycleGAN and the improved CycleGAN is implemented. The experiments demonstrate that PSNR of the image generated by the put forward method increases 6.27% on average, and SSIM increases about 10%. So the improved CycleGAN image style transfer method could generate the excellent style transfer image.
Abstract:With the improving detection sensitivity of star sensor, the number of stars in star catalog increases dramatically, which reduces the identification speed and rate of star identification. To improve the identification speed and identification rate, on the foundation of triangle algorithm, a fast star identification algorithm based on multi-feature matching is proposed. Firstly, the original star catalog is preprocessed, which is then partitioned using the inserted icosahedron of celestial sphere. Then the navigation feature library is constructed with the sides and the product of the radiuses of circumcircle and incircle as feature values. In addition, the navigation feature library is stored in blocks according to the hash function. In the process of star identification, the product of the radiuses of circumcircle and incircle in observation triangle is used to rapidly locate the block of navigation feature library, and then it is used to filter the feature triangles, based on which triangle distances are used for further match to get a preliminary identification result. Finally, the sub-regions of celestial sphere in the field of view (FOV) is got, and then other navigation stars are identified in the sub-regions. The experiment results indicate that identification performance of the proposed algorithm is related to the number of blocks. Based on a reasonable number of blocks, the proposed algorithm has advantages in identification speed and rate as well as the robustness to star magnitude noise and false stars than common triangle algorithms. The average identification time and identification rate of the proposed algorithm is 246.397 ms and 98.58 percent respectively, which can meet the requirement of star sensor for high identification speed and rate.

The results shown that reprojection error of the calibration method proposed in this paper is 0.34 pixel, which significantly improve the calibration precision compared to the 1.25 pixel of the exact measuring angle method. The proposed calibration method does not require alignment and the calibration process is simple.

Abstract:To address the confusion and low accuracy of salient objects in co-saliency detection for image groups with complex environments, we proposed a co-saliency detection model based on objectness and a multi-layer linear model. First, we calculated the inter-saliency values using the background guidance factor weighted by saliency prior and objectness probability. We then designed a local region feature to calculate the intra-saliency values. The zero, first, and second Hu moments of the image were used to integrate the two-stage saliency values. Finally, saliency subgraphs were adaptively fused using a multi-layer linear model. Experimental results reveal that the AP scores of the proposed algorithm are 87.80% on iCoseg datasets and 83.50% on the MSRC dataset. Results from the evaluation of other experimental indicators are also improved significantly. The detected salient objects are more accurate and the adaptability of the algorithm is enhanced.
