An improved YOLOv3 network was proposed to realize the detection of pedestrians and vehicles in infrared images captured by driverless vehicles at night. The problem of estimation of the moving direction of surrounding vehicles is transformed into the problem of estimation of the angle of the surrounding vehicle position. Whats more, the network is fused with the depth estimation information to estimate the distance and speed of the surrounding vehicles. Therefore the driverless vehicles can obtain the driving intention of the surrounding vehicles at night. The network has the end-to-end advantage, in which an image is as the input, and the positions of the bounding boxes, the classes and the angle estimation results of the detecting targets are returned directly at the output layer. Moreover, the depth estimation information is combined with the above information to obtain the distance and speed of the surrounding vehicle. The experimental results show that the speed of target detection in the infrared images captured by driverless vehicle is 0.04 s/frame.

In this method,a spatial light modulator is used to diffract the laser beam, and two diffracted beams with similar intensity are selected to pass through the objective. Fringe which has accurate phase and period approximately equal to resolution can be obtained by dual-beam interference. The surface topography is detected by calculating four fringe images with equal phase difference. This method neither need interferometric objective to produce fringes nor axial scanning device to record fringe changes, therefore the phase adjustment is accurate, and the imaging is intuitive. In addition, because the phase varies linearly with the pixel coordinates, the fringe period does not need to be modified. The adjustment path of fringe parameters is separated from imaging path, hence the system is simple and easy to adjust. To verify the accuracy of the proposed micro-topography method, a module (Ra=100 nm) and a silicon wafer were used as the samples for three-dimensional reconstruction experiments. The results show that the proposed method can achieve a repeatability measurement accuracy of 8.6 nm (2σ) in axial direction..

Image denoising algorithm based on information preservation network
CHEN Qingjiang, SHI Xiaohan, and CHAI Yuzhou
Due to various factors such as imaging equipment, the image will be disturbed by noise during imaging or sensing. Image denoising aims to reduce or eliminate the influence of noise on the image, which often leads to the loss of high-frequency information. In order to protect the edge information and texture details of Due to various factors such as imaging equipment, the image will be disturbed by noise during imaging or sensing. Image denoising aims to reduce or eliminate the influence of noise on the image, which often leads to the loss of high-frequency information. In order to protect the edge information and texture details of the image while removing image noise, a convolution neural network with information preservation blocks with relatively low computational complexity is proposed to denoise the noisy image directly. The information preservation block extracts the mixed feature information of the local long path and the local short path by residual learning. Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR/dB) and structural similarity index method (SSIM) are used to quantify the experimental results. The larger the two indexes, the better the denoising effect. Experiments show that the mean values of PSNR and SSIM can reach 30.36 dB and 0.828 0. Compared with other denoising algorithms, the two evaluation indexes are improved by 2.15 dB and 0.072 9 respectively. The proposed algorithm has good denoising effect for different kinds and different levels of noise，and the speed is better than the general algorithms compared, which contributes to the further development of the denoising based on convolutional neural networks..

The detection performance of underwater laser light screen was analyzed based on Monte Carlo simulation method. The simulations were carried out based on the above underwater laser light screen detection model using MATLAB software to analyze the influence of attenuation coefficient of seawater,initial power and transmission distance on the underwater laser light screen transmission. The simulation results show that the smaller the attenuation coefficient of seawater, the smaller the impact of the transmission rate of the underwater laser light screen. When the seawater parameters and transmission distance are fixed, the initial power can only affect the final power reaching the detection end, but it has little effect on the transmission rate of the underwater laser light screen. When the seawater parameter is fixed and the transmission distance is 1m, the transmission rate is about 15% and is stable. When the transmission distance is increased to 30 m, the transmission rate is below 5%..

In order to generate the multi-wavelength fiber laser at 2.1 μm band, a tunable multi-wavelength Ho3+-doped ring fiber laser based on all-fiber Sagnac interferometer was designed. A 3 m long Ho3+-doped silica fiber was pumped by a Tm3+-doped fiber laser, and then the spontaneous radiation at 2.1 μm band was amplified. In the annular cavity,the Sagnac fiber interferometer consisted of an 8 m long polarization maintain fiber (PMF) and a polarization controller (PC), and the output wavelength at 2.1 μm waveband can be period tuned by the Sagnac interferometer. In experiment, a multi-wavelength laser at 2.1 μm waveband can be got,the output power can be tuned from 1 mW to 15 mW, and up to 6 wavelengths of laser output can be observed. By adjusting the PC in annular cavity, the output tunable wavelength number can be realized from 1 to 6 at 2.1 μm band..

ZHONG Kun, and YANG Huaidong
In ultra-high coherent optical telecommunications, constant modulus algorithm (CMA) is usually adopted for compensation of impairment of polarization demultiplexing and polarization mode dispersion (PMD). Standard CMA has a function of self-adapt dynamic equalizer, with coefficient signal constantly updating according In ultra-high coherent optical telecommunications, constant modulus algorithm (CMA) is usually adopted for compensation of impairment of polarization demultiplexing and polarization mode dispersion (PMD). Standard CMA has a function of self-adapt dynamic equalizer, with coefficient signal constantly updating according to input signal. It is a popular blind-equalizing algorithm at present. In CMA algorithm, the value of step-size usually severely influences the performance evaluation of algorithm convergence, error vector magnitude (EVM), and bit error ratio (BER). This paper presents an optimized CMA algorithm of two-step size coefficients, which is capable of labeling stable span of error vector function curve. The verification of calculation shows, the optimized CMA algorithm can improve the demodulation performance, decrease the EVM of X and Y polarization state, validating its preferable applicability..

First, a segment of In order to measure the change of the refractive index of solution, the three layers structure of fiber core-gold layer-liquid on the surface of plastic optical fiber core was studied.A surface plasmon resonance(SPR) sensor using U-shaped structure combined with side polishing method was developed. First, a segment of plastic fiber was bent into a U shape, and the curvature of the segment was fixed at higher temperatures in the oven. The outer surface of the curved part was then polished to expose the plastic fiber core layer at the position and to sputter the gold nano-film layer on it. Finally, the prepared sensor was immersed in the liquid with different refractive indices, and the movement of the spectrum was observed using a spectral analyzer. The experimental results show that when the plastic optical fiber SPR sensor measures the liquid with the refractive index variation range of 1.333~1.406, it can be observed through the spectrum that with the increase of the liquid refractive index, the plasma resonance absorption peak position is also moving towards the direction of wavelength increase, and there is a linear relationship between the two, and its sensitivity is 7.5×10-4 RIU/nm. The sensor probe has the characteristics of miniaturization, easy preparation and low cost..

Then, accordingAiming at the generation of true random numbers, a true random number extraction method based on light scintillation images in atmospheric turbulence was proposed. First, we used a camera to obtain the light spot images of the laser with a wavelength of 532 nm propagating through atmospheric turbulence. Then, according to its scintillation characteristic, we selected the light spot images by fixed-interval selection and multiple-step selection, respectively,the fixed interval was selected as 50 frames, the multiple steps were selected as 30 frames, 70 frames and 100 frames. The correlation of the obtained light spot images was weak, and the correlation coefficient was less than 0.3. Because of the influence of the turbulence effect, the pixels in the image changed irregularly. We calculated the combination of pixels to extract the random sequences. Finally, we tested the extracted random sequences by the national institute of science and technology(NIST ) randomness test method. Experimental results show that the random effect of random sequence with the fixed-interval selection is general and the test results have the P value less than 0.01, while the P value obtained by multiple-step selection are all greater than 0.01 and the random sequence can pass the randomness test..
