ZHANG Haochun, QU Boyan, JIN Liang, and MA Chao
Infrared imaging is an important method to detect the thermal wake target on sea surface of underwater vehicles. By utilizing the modeling and simulation method, based on the sea surface temperature distribution characteristics of the wake region, combined with the space coordinate transformation and projection mappingInfrared imaging is an important method to detect the thermal wake target on sea surface of underwater vehicles. By utilizing the modeling and simulation method, based on the sea surface temperature distribution characteristics of the wake region, combined with the space coordinate transformation and projection mapping method, the infrared imaging simulation process of the thermal wake target was realized. Under the same detection conditions, the distribution of the radiant energy of the thermal wake with the band, and the variation of the shape of the hot wake in the image plane and the brightness changing law of the infrared radiation under different azimuths and heights were obtained. The effects of noise on the thermal wake under typical working conditions and the contrast and sharpness of the sea surface, as well as the difficulty of detecting and identifying the thermal wake target were demonstrated.The simulation results show that under the same detection conditions, the radiant energy of the thermal wake in the 8 μm~12 μm band is much larger than the 3 μm~5 μm band;when the length of the detection path is constant, with the angle of the detection zenith increasing, the observed brightness of the infrared radiation of the thermal wake decreases, and the area occupied by the thermal wake in the image plane gradually decreases..

In this method,firstly, the estimated value of essential matrix is obtained using a specific reference with clear three-dimensional information. Then, the essential matrix is iteratively optimized with the matched feature point groups of adjacent key frames and the estimated value of essential matrix. Finally, the estimation of translation vector is obtained by the constraint relation of essential matrix, and the estimation of rotation matrix is obtained based on Lie group. The unique solution is obtained by further optimization. The problem that the relative pose of the camera cannot be restored due to the too short base line is avoided in this method. The experimental results show that the relative pose relationship of the robot can be quickly solved and optimized in this new method, and the absolute error of relative displacement estimation is less than 0.03 m, which is superior to the traditional method..

Therefore, a phase modulation can be produced when the oscillating beam passes through the crystal, thus the oscillating light field can be redistributed and deviated from the ideal mode distribution. Because of the filter function of the resonator, the resonator filters out the beam profile that does not match the ideal resonator mode and causes loss. By calculating the thermal loss of the fundamental mode and the conversion ratio of the low-order mode to the high-order mode, the temperature field distribution in the crystal was simulated with MATLAB, the energy interchange between the modes in the resonator was studied, which could provide a theoretical basis for suppressing the high-order mode and reducing mode loss in solid state laser..

The polarization aberration of NA1.35 lithographic projection optical system was expressed by the use of Jones pupils and physical pupils, and the magnitude of polarization aberration was analyzed with bi-attenuation and retardation. According to the max incident angles of different optical surfaces, corresponding coatings of each optical surface were designed to optimize polarization aberration of optical system. After optimizing coatings,the diattenuation and retardation of NA1.35 lithographic projection optical system decrease to 0.021 8 and 0.057 2 rad separately compared with regular coatings，it means that the polarization aberration of optical system decreases. Using lithographic simulation software Prolith to simulate the lithography performance with regular coatings and optimized coatings separately, the result shows that the image contrast with optimized coatings increases 4.4% ,proving the effectiveness of the method for optimizing polarization aberration of NA1.35 lithographic projection optical system..

Firstly, the feature points were violently matched to obtain the initial matching point set. Then the sparse optical flow method was used to calculate the feature point motion vector, and the two-dimensional coordinate position of the feature point in the image to be matched was estimated, and the feature points far from the estimated position were eliminated. Finally, the random sampling consistency algorithm was used to perform geometric verification to further optimize the matching result, so as to eliminate the effect of mismatching. The experimental results show that compared with the ORB operator, SIFT operator and SURF operator, the accuracy of this algorithm is increased by 21.6% on average, and the accuracy of random sample consensus FAST and rotated BRIEF (RANSAC-ORB) algorithm is increased by 2% on average; moreover, the algorithm has good versatility for image illumination transformation, perspective transformation, fuzzy transformation, rotation and scaling transformations and illumination variations..

The experimental setup of the lensless microscopic imaging system and the two reconstruction algorithms of L-R(Lucy-Richardson) and ASM (angle spectrum method) were introduced. Comparing the resolution of the USAF resolution plate image reconstructed by the two algorithms, according to the Rayleigh criterion，the amplitude image resolution acquired by the SSM is up to 3.10 μm and the calculation time is the least (0.9 s), which proves ASM is the best reconstruction algorithm of single-frame lensless microscope imaging. In addition, the cell imaging experiments were performed using a lensless microscopic imaging system combined with ASM for image reconstruction. Results show that the lensless imaging field of view is 4.4 times than that of a 5× microscope, and its resolution is between 5× and 10× optical microscopes. The statistical advantage is obvious, and it has broad application prospects in the biomedical field..

According to the optimization models, the particle swarm optimization (PSO)algorithm was used to perform multiple inversion optimizations on the simulation data which was added the Gaussian white noise and the experimental data of the simulated cylinder. The obtained inversion results were compared with the artificial fish-swarm algorithm and the traditional uniform search method as well. When the PSO algorithm was used, the inversion results of r0.5,K and N were 0.05, 0.66 and 0.51% respectively, the inversion time was 306.41 s. When the artificial fish-swarm algorithm was used, the inversion results of r0.5,K and N were 2.96, 19.98 and 4.68% respectively, the inversion time was 411.05 s. When the uniform search algorithm was used, the inversion results of r0.5,K and N were 5.00, 27.14 and 7.95% respectively, the inversion time was 246.42 s. The results show that the PSO algorithm can overcome the shortcomings of both artificial fish-swarm algorithm and uniform search method, which can obtain high precision, stable and reliable inversion results in a short time. It provides more accurate data for wet steam parameter measurement and theoretical basis for other particle parameter measurement inversions..

The fast calculation of hologram by slice-based method isAs the resolution of the computational spatial light modulator has become larger, the computational complexity of the three-dimensional dynamic display of the hologram is also higher and higher, which makes new requirements for the holographic calculation speed. The fast calculation of hologram by slice-based method is realized by means of the graphics processing unit (GPU) parallel computation processing method, which accelerates the calculation of the Fresnel diffraction transform algorithm by taking advantage of the GPU parallel multi-threading and the image two-dimensional Fourier transform in tomography. At the same time, by calling the GPU underlying resources and the stream processing of the program in compute unified device architecture (CUDA), the intermediate delay wait is effectively reduced. The comparison of the calculation speed shows that the calculation speed is greatly improved compared with the calculation on the CPU, and the method based on GPU parallel calculation is about 10 times faster than the method based on CPU calculation..

For irradiation uniformity, an integrating sphere structure with an annular baffle was proposed. Based on Monte Carlo method, the structure was analyzed and optimized by changing the parameters including light source type, baffle position, slotting size and number of light sources. Results show that the average irradiation uniformity of the Lambert light source is 2.32% higher than the collimated light source. When the baffle is located close to the edge of integrating sphere, the irradiation uniformity is slightly lower than other positions. Considering the radiation energy and illumination uniformity, the open ratio is suggested to be limited in the range of 30%~35%. The radiation power has a linear relationship with the number of light sources,and the nonuniformity fluctuates with the number of light sources from 2.46% to 3.38%. The optimized annular baffle structure is proposed as irradiated uniform light source in practical application scenario..

For traditional 2D symmetrical filters such as Hanning window or Gaussian window, their cut-off frequencies are limited by the spatial frequency of projection fringe, namely the distance between the fundamental frequency and the zero frequency. This often leads to the incomplete extraction of fundamental frequency components and the loss of useful information. To solve this problem,we designed a 2D asymmetric filter with the elliptical bottom shape on the basis of 2D Hanning filter. It holds different frequency response and cut-off frequency towards different frequency directions and thus one can extract more complete fundamental frequency component. The simulation experiments of step object and array object show that the reconstructed accuracy of the proposed 2D asymmetric filter improves respectively by 39.5% and 55.6% for these two objects compared with traditional Hanning filter..

According to the dual optical path superposition method, the linearity of the photodetector was measured in both the power mode and the irradiance mode. For the power mode, the nonlinear coefficient was measured with the laser power varying over 6 orders of magnitude,while for the irradiance mode, the laser was guided into an integrating sphere to output the optical radiation, and the nonlinear coefficient of the detector under 3 orders of magnitude changes was measured. Results show that when the current of the photodetector is varied from 0.2 nA to 0.2 mA in power mode, the nonlinear fact of the detector is less than ±0.02%. When the current of the detector is changing from 200 nA to 0.2 nA in irradiance mode, the nonlinear factor is also less than ±0.02%. It can be seen that the laser linear device can realize two modes of power and illuminance measurement, and meets the measurement of at least 6 orders of magnitude or more..

The robotic arm was used to drive the laser sensor to scan the grinding workpiece placed in the laser measuring plane,thereby obtaining the three-dimensional coordinates information of the workpiece in the laser measuring plane, and obtaining the characteristic boundary point of the workpiece by the height change between two adjacent scanning points. Then,the extreme points and least squares of the x-axis and y-axis coordinates were combined to fit the analytical expression of the workpiece boundary in the laser measurement plane, and the offset and rotation angle of the workpiece relative to the laser measurement plane were further determined. Finally, the surface features information of the workpiece was obtained by using the position and attitude information of the workpiece in the laser measuring plane. The experimental results show that the detection error of the workpiece surface is 0.11 mm and the average detection time is within 1 s, which meets the requirements of workpiece surface features detection..

For a given reflection spectrum of a fiber Bragg grating, the index profile of fiber Bragg grating could be calculated by a layer peeling algorithm. Some superimposed fiber grating with different apodisation functions were used to fit this index profile. The special reflection spectrum of a fiber Bragg grating could be realized by controlling the superimposed fiber gratings parameters adjustment.The relative error between the reflection spectrum of synthetic superimposed fiber grating and the goal spectrum is less than 4.0%. It is a sample and quick method for fiber grating synthesis problems which is easy to implement..

A simple and low-cost method for manufacturing fiber optic oxygen sensor was introduced.Based on the principle of fluorescence quenching,this method was realized by the fluorescence material platinum octaethyl porphyrin (PtOEP) coated on the fiber end.In the sensor,the fluorescent material was excited by the violet light of 395 nm and guided by the Y-shaped optical fibers,and furthermore, the luminescence timing diagram of the fluorescence was recorded using a spectrometer USB2000+ of Xipu Optoelectronics.The value of PtOEP (I0/I100)-1 is 0.78, that is to say,the sensitinity of the sensor is 0.78, and the Stern-Volmer diagram shows good linearity characteristics,and the response time from the air environment to the oxygen is 5 s while the response time from oxygen to air environment is 24 s.These results show that the fiber optic oxygen sensor based on fluorescence quenching principle has higher sensitivity and faster response time..
