Before lithographing the grThe traditional fiber grating sensors are cross-sensitive to temperature stress and cannot simultaneously measure the change of the temperature stress of the measured object. In view of this situation, a new method of lithographing phase-shifted gratings using ultraviolet light was proposed. Before lithographing the gratings, the method of electrode discharge was used to remove the photosensitivity of a very small section of the optical fiber, so that the original uniform periodic distribution of the fiber was destroyed to form a phase-shifted grating, and its theoretical analysis was carried out. There were two distinct resonance peaks in the transmission spectrum of this phase-shifted grating. Using the properties of two peaks with different sensitivity to temperature and dependent variable, the simultaneous measurement of temperature and stress could be achieved by establishing the demodulation matrix. The experimental results show that the phase-shifted Bragg grating made by this method can realize the simultaneous measurement of temperature and stress accurately. The maximum temperature sensitivity of the sensor can reach to 9.51 pm/℃, and the sensitivity variance is lower than 2.125×10-7. The maximum strain sensitivity can reach to 0.767 pm/με, and the sensitivity variance is lower than 2.156×10-10..

By introducing a new parameter which called mode height, other characteristics of the light intensity mode-scanning curve were described. The mode height of the light intensity mode-scanning curve was the maximum variation of the corresponded light intensity under conditions of one 0.632 8 μm cavity length change, which was a characteristic quantity reflecting the sharpness of the light intensity mode-scanning curve. This characteristic quantity was directly related to the gyro frequency stabilization accuracy and the frequency stabilization response time. The higher the mode height, the higher the corresponding frequency stabilization accuracy, and the shorter the frequency stabilization response time. The physical mechanism of the mode height in RLG scanning process was analyzed theoretically, and the main factors affecting the mode height were determined. Through the theoretical analysis and the numerical simulation, it is concluded that: by increasing the curvature radius of spherical mirror, increasing the cavity length, reducing the loss and increasing the gain, the mode height of the RLG light intensity mode-scanning curve can be increased more than 3 times, which has important guiding significance and practical engineering value for improving the frequency stabilization accuracy, shortening the frequency stabilization response time, reducing the nonlinear error of gyro proportional factor, and improving the fast stability of RLG..

To solve this problem, an defects automatic classification detection method based on the two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN) for image recognition was proposed. The finite element method was used to simulate the laser ultrasonic detection process, and the ultrasonic signal data was collected for training the classification model; the continuous wavelet transformation (CWT) was used to process the ultrasonic signal to obtain the wavelet time-frequency images, and the images were used as inputs to train the convolutional neural network (CNN) classification model to realize the automatic classification of the surface defects depth. The verification results show that the proposed detection method can accurately classify the defects of different depths, and the average accuracy rate of the test reaches 97.3%; the constructed CNN classification model can independently learn the defects features of the input images and complete the classification, which improves the stability of the test results, and provides a new idea for the automatic analysis and processing of laser ultrasonic defects detection..

Aiming at the problem that the point clouds constructed by ORB-SLAM2 is too sparse and lacks semantic information, a dense point cloud semantic map of the environment by combining the object detection algorithm with visual SLAM technology was constructed. First of all, the object detection network YOLO v3 and object regularization were used to accurately obtain the 2D label of the object. At the same time, the ORB-SLAM2 algorithm was used to construct the environment's sparse point cloud map. The color image with 2D labels, corresponding depth images, and key frames were used to generate dense point cloud labels with semantic information. Then the graph-based segmentation algorithm was used to segment the dense point cloud, and the point cloud labels were fused with the segmented point cloud so as to construct a dense point cloud semantic map of the environment. The proposed method was tested on the TUM public data set and the experimental results show that the method can construct a better semantic map. Compared with the traditional ORB-SLAM2 algorithm, this system reduces the absolute pose error and absolute trajectory error of the camera by 16.02% and 15.86% respectively, in the process of constructing the map, which improves the mapping accuracy. In order to reduce the storage space of point cloud maps and facilitate mobile robots' navigation and avoidance, the constructed semantic maps are finally converted into octree maps..

In frame processing, according to short time interval and negligible change of velocity vector in the frames, a circle search algorithm based on regional Hough transformation was proposed. In view of the fact that the real motion vector is biased rather than uniformly distributed in search window, the search box was fixed shifted. The centering error between predicted region and actual region is less than 5%, the consuming time is reduced by more than 41.6% compared with the traditional algorithm, and the average error between calculated results and actual results does not exceed 2.39%. Also, this algorithm can adapt to the complex backgrounds and meet the timeliness and accuracy requirements of the program..

The trained error compensation model was used to predict positioning error of the system, and the compensation results were used as the correction value guiding the robot to locate welding spots. The experimental results show that the positioning accuracy after compensation is greatly improved, which verifies the effectiveness of the method..

It could measure the three-dimensional shape of small objects under the environment of detonation and impact, which could not be directly measured. The structured light was directly projected onto the surface of the measured object and the distorted fringe images were imaged to the front side of the image bundles. Then those images were collected into the camera by another imaging lens after transmitted to the other side of the image bundles.

When the two projectiles passed through detection light screen at the same time, six projectiles would be generated on the circular detection array. The central position of the six projectiles would be identified through the signal processing circuit. Finally, the target coordinates of two projectiles would be calculated by system projectile hitting coordinate measurement formula. On the basis of the theory of system measurement, the coordinate measurement model of the projectile hitting target was established, and the coordinate measurement error was analyzed and simulated. The simulation results show that the maximum standard deviation of the X coordinate measurement error is 2.7 mm and the maximum standard deviation of the Y coordinate measurement error is 0.6 mm when the target surface is 1 m×1 m. The experimental results show that the standard deviation of X coordinate measurement error is 2.22 mm and Y coordinate measurement error is 1.98 mm when the target surface is 1 m×1 m. Therefore, the system proposed can effectively measure the target coordinates of double projectors with a projectile diameter of 4.5 mm or above..

In order to solve the problem of binocular vision technology calibration and complex calculation, a method of impact point measurement based on monocular vision technology was proposed. The four corner points of the target surface and the pixel coordinates of the impact point was located through image processing technology, the rectangular P4P method was used to calculate the posture of the target surface coordinates relative to the camera coordinate system, and the actual coordinates of the impact point on the target surface was calculated according to the principle of monocular vision imaging. According to this method, the coordinates of target bullet hole in the experiment were successfully measured, and the maximum test error was 2.3 mm. The results show that the method can quickly and accurately measure the position and attitude relationship between the target surface and the camera and the coordinates of the impact point..

A new blind element detection algorithm based on cross calculation of multiple images was proposed. For untargeted images with different illumination brightness, by setting different thresholds, the image was binarized; then multiple binarized images were calculated according to the position of “bright spots”, and the blind element marking template image was generated. Finally, classification and selection were performed according to the position of blind element, and the final blind element mark template was obtained. The final blind element mark template information provided a reliable basis for evaluating the quality of EBCMOS sensor and the blind element compensation in actual follow-up products..
