Since Epstein realized the energy conversion between light and heat and got the net cooling capacity in 1995, this refrigeration method has been developed rapidly because of its merits such as mini volume, light weight, free electromagnetic radiation, non-noise, high reliability, etc. In the meantime, anti-Strokes fluoSince Epstein realized the energy conversion between light and heat and got the net cooling capacity in 1995, this refrigeration method has been developed rapidly because of its merits such as mini volume, light weight, free electromagnetic radiation, non-noise, high reliability, etc. In the meantime, anti-Strokes fluorescent cooling has a luring future in the fields of military, aerospace, satellite, microelectronics, cryogenic physics and engineering and so on. The developing progress and current research status of this cooling technique are introduced. The conversion depth about heat energy into light radiation is analyzed in detail utilizing the basic thermodynamic law. The definitions of light effective temperature and thermodynamic conversion efficiency are introduced and a formula to calculate the thermodynamic upper efficiency limit is derived, which could provide a design guide rule to produce the laser cooling machines. The technical difficulties for realizing long life anti-Strokes fluorescent cooling are pointed out and the prospect of anti-Strokes fluorescent cooling technique is finally foreseen..

, and
Cupper vapor laser is a typical resonance-metastable transition laser. The laser-pulse is usually thought of occuring at the front edge of current pulse.

The laser-pulse is usually thought of occuring at the front edge of current pulse. Experiment shows that Ca;++ laser pulse is always at the front edge of current pulse under different condition. As for CuBr laser, the delay time of its laser pulse is related with the working temperature. Cupper atom is formed by means of the decomposition of CuBr into Cu;++, and then recombination of Cu;++. Consequently the recombination coefficient is bigger and the delay time of laser pulse gets longer when the working temperature is lower. And the recombination coefficient turns smaller and the laser pulse occurs ahead of time when the working temperature is higher..

So it is necessary to establish the relative models of laser echo identities and terrain object identities. The power, waveform and other main identities of pulse laser echo from ground are analyzed based on the experimental results of the fundamental system for laser imaging of earth observation. The backward scattered power of terrain objects is discussed. The gray image of part of terrain is produced through laser echo information after airborne information acquiring and data processing. Some elementary relations between laser echo and terrain object are obtained by comparing the gray image and passive infrared imaging result.

The original dataThe photoelectric interpretoscope is a data processing complete set of equipment of photoelectric theodolite used in experimental shooting range. Its main purpose is to interpret the numerical value of the measuring angle of theodolite. And the medium is the measuring films photographed by theodolite. The original data is in the form of lattice. The traditional ways of data collection of photoelectric interpretoscope are firstly changing the lattice of films into pulse signals, and then rebuilding, enlarging and compressing them. Finally the lattice pulse signals are collected and distinguished by means of inquiring. But the rate of wrong code is always very high when the widths of pulse signals are not identical. A new way of data collection is presented in which the compressed lattice is collected within the time limitation permitted by computer with barycenter method. The method can also work properly when the widths of pulse signals are not identical. The distinguishability is increased and the rate of wrong code is reduced..

Light clouds easily keep out the lights from celestial bodies, but the infrared may go through the light clouds and atmosphere when it is observed at any part of the earth. Therefore locating by the ray of infrared from celestial bodies is noticed day after day. It is necessary to get the modification of the refraction of infrared ray from the celestial bodies when the infrared ray determines the position of observer. The practical theoretical calculation and correction methods for the refraction ρ of the celestial bodies for certain wavelength are presented..

During the generation of TIN, selection of input points is the key to the approximation quality of simplified terrains. Usually, the input point is selected according to the importance measure on each point, so research on the calculation of importance measure has attained more and more attention. Based on analysis and comparison of traditional importance measure, a new criterion of importance measure based on local entropy is put forward. The results demonstrate that the local entropy criterion gives a performance that is better than any traditional method. In addition, it can effectively conquer the "short sight" problem in previous methods..

Eigen tracTraditional matching will be degraded in scene-matching and correlative tracking system because of the presence of the difference of the gray value and the distortion between the object image and the reference image. And the risk of template drift will increased by the method of simply updating the template. Eigen tracking approach for tracking rigid objects is presented which builds on and extends work on SVD method. It is a promising candidate for an appearance-based object representation. Firstly the test object images are decomposed to get the eigne space of the object. And then they are applied as the characters of the object image in the matching process. The objects over long image sequences are tracked by using the techniques. This method could bear affine image motion and image distortion to some extent and it is very promising..

When the intensity of the noise is larger than three percent, for example, the capability of the detection using high order correlation will decrease rapidly. And when Hough transform is used in target detection in the condition of large noise intensity, not only the calculation would be very heavy but also the capability of detection would be not ideal. Therefore, a self-adaptive threshold pre-detection method using multi-frame indexing accumulation based on energy accumulation is developed..
