APD single photon detection data is 0-1 data representing photon pulse events, which usually needs to be accumulated many times to achieve 3D imaging of the target. While the rotating object cannot be directly accumulated due to its motion. In order to solve the problem of three-dimensional reconstruction of rotating objects, a single photon 3D reconstruction method based on the definition of maximum intensity map was proposed. Firstly, the 3D reconstruction model of rotating objects was established, and then the likelihood estimation model of rotation velocity was established. Finally, the maximum definition of intensity map was taken as the cost function to solve the rotation velocity and reconstruct it. The computer simulation simulated the single photon 3D imaging detection data of the rotating cross object, the 3D reconstruction algorithm was used to achieve the high precision 3D reconstruction of the rotating object, and the simulation verification at different speeds was performed. The simulation results show that the speed estimation error is better than 5% and the depth reconstruction error is better than 0.1 m at different speeds, which verifies the correctness of the reconstruction algorithm..

However, the existing structured light system designing scheme has the problems of complex algorithm and low frame rate. In order to solve these problems, a temporal coded structured light system based on event-based camera sensor was proposed. The digital light projector (DLP) was used to project the temporal alternating light and dark coding patterns, and the event-based camera sensor was used for the high-speed acquisition. By encoding the time series of the projected speckle patterns, the speckle search method could be used instead of the complex spatial matching, thereby reducing the algorithm complexity of the structured light system. By analyzing the correspondence of scattered spots, the three-dimensional information of the surface of the space object was finally restored. After experimental verification, it is show that the acquisition frame rate of the proposed system can reach 66.7 frame/s. Compared with other traditional schemes, the complexity of the algorithm is significantly reduced, and the measurement accuracy can reach the millimeter level. Experimental results show that the designed temporal coded structured light system can perform three-dimensional reconstruction of actual scenes with high speed and low computation cost..

The operating band was visible light, the field of view was 90°, the F-number was 4, and the receiver was a 1/18 inch CMOS sensor. The system was composed of three plastic lenses and one cover glass, and the third lens adopted Q-type aspherical surface. Therefore, the structure was simple, compact and low cost. The image quality evaluation results show that the modulation transfer function of each field of view is greater than 0.27 at the Nyquist frequency of 200 lp/mm, which is close to the diffraction limit. The root-mean-square radius of each field is less than the pixel size of 2.5 μm, and all are within the Airy spot range. The maximum residual distortion is less than 20%, which meets the requirement of high image quality. Finally, the ghost image of the system was analyzed and evaded. It is shown that the energy of the spot formed by the pupil ghost image is diffused, which has little influence on the uniformity of image illuminance. The spot size of the focal ghost image is much larger than the spot diagram of the main image, which has little impact on the imaging quality and meets the imaging requirements..

Under the consideration of surface heat radiation, internal heat conduction of material and air heat convection, the finite element simulation software, which called COMSOL Multiphysics was adopted to carry out simulation of the temperature field of high borosilicate glass tube under the action of CO2 laser, the change rule of the temperature field distribution with time was analyzed, and the effects of laser power, laser spot radius and rotation speed on the temperature distribution of the glass tube were compared. Simulation results show that the higher the laser power, the smaller the spot radius, the lower the rotational speed of the glass tube, and the higher the temperature of the glass tube. According to the simulation results, the process requirements of laser processing of high borosilicate glass tube can be achieved by selecting suitable processing parameters.

With the help of the proposed value aware parameter estimation network, the feature extraction could be achieved with only 0.035 M parameters. To enhance the nonlinear adjustment capability and reduce the number of iterations, a high-order nonlinear mapping curve was designed. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the qualitative and quantitative experiments were conducted on an authoritative dataset widely used in the field of image enhancement, indicating that the proposed method outperformed the existing solutions. In addition, the UAV nighttime object tracking was evaluated as a typical downstream visual perception task. The results on the authoritative evaluation benchmark demonstrate the proposed method can significantly improve the performance of the existing tracker in the night scene, with accuracy and success rate gains of 21.50% and 32.23%, respectively. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method can significantly improve the visual effects of low-light images while also effectively alleviate the performance degradation of downstream vision algorithms caused by insufficient illumination in night scenarios..

In order to obtain the better detection effect in the target scene, it is usually necessary to collect and label data and then train, which is not only costly but also complicated. The proposed global-instance domain adaptation detection algorithm and system based on the attention mechanism only needed to collect part of the real scene data to perform transfer learning, realizing rapid model training and remote deployment of edge-cloud integration. In this domain adaptation detection algorithm, the global feature adversarial learning algorithm based on the attention mechanism could reduce the negative effect of background features in transfer learning; the instance-level feature alignment method based on dictionary learning could align instance-level features with high precision. After experimental comparison, the proposed method reached a level close to SOTA(state-of-the-art), and the ablation experiment was quantitatively proved the improvement of the domain adaptation detection effect of this method. The proposed domain adaptation detection technology is combined with an edge system with data transmission links, improving the detection effect by nearly 10 points in actual scenarios..

A multiple sub-pixel information extraction module was designed, which divided the sub-aperture images into four image stacks: horizontal, vertical, diagonal and anti-diagonal, and extracted the sub-pixel information of each image stack separately. Meanwhile, considering that the gradient prior could provide effective clues for predicting high-frequency details, the gradient multiple sub-pixel information of the sub-aperture images was fused in the reconstruction process. Experimental results on five publicly available databases show that the proposed method not only generally outperforms the existing methods in terms of objective indexes, but also has better performance in the subjective visual effect, which the edge texture details are clearer..

However, the robustness and the accuracy is severely affected by the gamma nonlinearity of FPP system. The wrapped phase extracted from distorted fringe patterns will deviate from the actual phase, which cannot be directly employed to retrieve the absolute phase. To address this problem, a robust phase-coding method based on an effective nonlinear correction strategy was proposed. First, the distorted wrapped phase could be adjusted by the phase histogram equalization (PHE) method to obtain the corrected wrapped phase. Theoretical studies demonstrated that the frequency of the nonlinear phase error is thrice that of the ideal phase. Therefore, the nonlinear phase error was further reduced by shifted-phase histogram equalization (SHE) method. Then, the continuous function was fitted by the Hermite interpolation algorithm, which could reduce the discretization error introduced by the SHE method. Both the simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method is more robust than the traditional method under gamma nonlinearity..

Firstly, combining the low-level semantic features of infrared images, a TCC module was created using two convolution and multi-scale thought, which improved the comprehensiveness of feature extraction. Then, to simplify the network structure and reduce the number of parameters, a lightweight Ghost module was introduced to improve the SPP pooling layer and CSP2 convolutional network. Finally, using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as experimental objects, a dataset of infrared dim targets was constructed under various meteorological conditions during day and night, verifying validity of the improved algorithm. The results show that the detection accuracy of the improved YOLOv5s model is increased by 1.34%, and the mean average precision (mAP) is increased by 2.26%, which is superior to YOLOv4-tiny and YOLOv7-tiny models. It has the same accuracy as YOLOv8s model, but the number of model parameters is only 53% of the YOLOv8s model, which fully meets the needs of embedded device deployment..

PointNet represents a direct point cloud data processing approach widely utilized in point cloud segmentation tasks. Nevertheless, it is associated with low segmentation accuracy and the computational cost of PointNet++ is high. Aiming at the above problems, an algorithm combining DenseNet and PointNet was proposed for the segmentation of point clouds. A three-branch hybrid attention mechanism was introduced to enhance PointNet capability to extract local features. DenseNet-STN and DenseNet-MLP structures were proposed to substitute spatial transformation networks (STNs) and multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) in PointNet, in line with the dense connected convolutional networks (DenseNet) concept. At the same time, the add connection in DenseBlock, rather than the Concat connection, to enhance the accuracy of point feature correlation, without imposing significant complexity to the model. DenseNet-PointNet demonstrates effective generalization ability for complex classification problems and facilitates better function approximation, thereby improving the precision of point cloud segmentation. The findings of the effectiveness and ablation experiments show that the proposed algorithm performs well. The results of the point cloud segmentation experiments indicate that the intersection and concatenation ratio (IoU) of DenseNet-PointNet is superior to that of PointNet in most categories, and also higher than that of PointNet++ in some categories. DenseNet-PointNet achieves this with only 47.6% of the parameters of PointNet++, and 49.1% of the floating point operations (FLOPs). Therefore, these experimental results confirm the feasibility and availability of DenseNet-PointNet..

However, there is currently a lack of corresponding testing methods in China. Therefore, in order to characterize and evaluate the imaging quality of EBAPS, a MTF testing system for EBAPS was designed and built based on the principle of image intensifier slit method for testing MTF. By driving the EBAPS device and using a USB interface to transmit the collected data to the upper computer for image analysis, the slit image was processed to obtain the line spread function (LSF), and the corresponding modulation transfer function curve was obtained through discrete Fourier transform. When the illumination at the slit target was 2×10?2 lx, within a certain range, as the voltage increased, the MTF of EBAPS first increased and then decreased, and reached its maximum value when ?1 000 V was applied. In the light imaging mode, by fine-tuning the relative position between the slit and the sensor imaging surface, the standard deviation of MTF values for several important frequency points obtained from 5 consecutive tests was less than 0.01, indicating good stability..

An FDM printing trajectory measurement and quality evaluation method based on infrared imaging was proposed. The method adopted infrared camera to continuously monitor the FDM printing process, and established the pose solution model of the printer coordinate system and the camera world coordinate system, as well as the global camera motion pose solution model matching the infrared features between dynamic frames. The real time measurement of the running position of the end nozzle was realized, and the accurate print trajectory information was obtained. On this basis, the object image mapping relationship between the spatial print trajectory and the high temperature filament in the infrared image was established, and the quality of the printing process and typical defects were evaluated in the image domain. The average time of image processing was 25.9 ms, and the reprojection error of infrared camera posture measurement was 0.7 pixel. Under normal printing conditions, the average IoU between the ideal print trajectory calculated by the system and the high temperature region in the infrared image is 0.61. The experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately identify the typical problems such as model dislocation and abnormal extruding in the printing process, which provides a new solution for the related research of online print quality evaluation..

Therefore, a two-dimensional multi-physics field model based on COMSOL was developed for the laser ablation process of materials coated with high-reflectivity metals. Simplifying the problem of laser action on matter by using surface heat sources, the displacement field, temperature field and stress field of the destructive process were established and solved by the method of backward difference to obtain the ablation shape of the material under laser irradiation and the distribution characteristics of the temperature field and stress field. Comparing the simulation results with and without coating protection, the high reflectivity coating protection can reduce the laser ablation depth of the material by about 95% and the radial temperature and stress variation range by about 33% in the same time, which verifies the protective effect of the high reflectivity metal coating. Comparing the simulation results at different moments, the ablation depth and the temperature and stress variation range of the material increased uniformly with time. It provides a reference for the study of the laser damage process and the development of laser protective materials..

In the structural design of the sensor, a plane mirror was used to fold the optical path, and the objective function was defined with the working object distance, lens focal length, linear array detector position and mirror position as the optimized parameters, gravitational search algorithm (GSA) was used to optimize the structure of the displacement sensor. After the algorithm iteration, compared with the traditional laser triangle structure with the same width limit, the sensitivity of the optimized structure was increased by 24.29% at 500 mm, and the nonlinear error was reduced from 11.40% to 7.43%. The results show that this structure and optimization algorithm have a positive effect on the performance and volume of the laser triangular displacement sensor..

To investigate the impact of lasers on back-illuminated CMOS image sensors, experiments were conducted using a 1 064 nm continuous laser to study the interference and damage. In the interference experiment, saturation and over saturation phenomena were observed. When the laser power density exceeded 1.39×10?2 W/cm2, saturation occurred, and when it exceeded 1.03×104 W/cm2, over saturation occurred. In the damage experiment, spot damage, crossline damage, surface damage, and blindness were observed. When the power density exceeded 1.35×106 W/cm2, spot damage occurred, and when it exceeded 1.74×106 W/cm2, crossline damage occurred. When the power density exceeded 1.65×107 W/cm2, surface damage occurred. If the laser power was further increased, the detector ultimately became blind. The back-illuminated structure circuit is deeper than the front-illuminated structure and requires higher laser power for damage, Therefore, it has stronger laser resistance..

The experimental and simulation studies of a wavelength multiplexed mode-locked fiber laser based on Lyot filter effect were demonstrated.

An all-fiber Lyot filter and a single-walled carbon nanotube saturated absorber were introduced into a fiber laser to filter the cavity gain spectrum and destroy single transmission mode of the pulse, which multiplexed the pulses at two different center wavelengths for transmission and mode-locking. Finely adjusting the intracavity polarization controller, when the pump power up to 70.4 mW, the dual-wavelength pulses are output with center wavelength of 1 534.2 nm and 1 546.0 nm, wavelength interval of 11.8 nm, repetition rate of 36.64 MHz, and signal-to-noise ratio of about 56.7 dB, respectively. In addition, a numerical simulation model based on the nonlinear Schrdinger equation was established for the numerical study of dual-wavelength mode-locked fiber lasers based on the Lyot filter effect. By the analysis of pulse spectral evolution, it was verified that intracavity gain spectral filtering played an important role in the formation and propagation of dual-wavelength pulses. The study of Lyot filtering effect in wavelength multiplexed fiber lasers could be further extended to realize tunable dual-wavelength generation, which could be applied to multi-scene dual-comb spectral measurement and coherent imaging..

However, the effect of the diameter, spacing and number of receiving aperture on improving the performance of wireless laser communication is not clear and complete. Therefore, an optical transmission mMulti-aperture receiving technology can effectively suppress intensity scintillation in wireless laser communication. However, the effect of the diameter, spacing and number of receiving aperture on improving the performance of wireless laser communication is not clear and complete. Therefore, an optical transmission method based on composite phase screen was proposed, and the characteristics of multi-aperture reception were studied. Firstly, the power spectrum inversion method was combined with Zernike tilt method to generate a composite phase screen, and the mathematical model of optical transmission multi-aperture reception was constructed. Then, the diameter, spacing and number of receiving aperture were changed to calculate the change of intensity scintillation at the receiving end. Finally, the variation of multi-aperture received intensity scintillation was analyzed under the actual optical transmission scenario with different atmospheric refractive index structure constants, wavelengths and transmission distances. The results show that the intensity scintillation of five receiving apertures with diameters of 0.2 m and aperture spacing of 0.4 m decreases from 0.2032 to 0.0524 when the structure constant of atmospheric refractive index decreases from 2.2313 ×10?16 m?2/3 to 1.5812 ×10?17 m?2/3. When the wavelength of light wave changes from 532 nm to 1550 nm, the intensity scintillation of five receiving apertures with diameters of 0.2 m and apertures spacing of 0.4 m decreases from 0.2165 to 0.1523 . When the propagation distance increases from 7×103 m to 7×105 m, the intensity scintillation of five receiving apertures with diameters of 0.2 m and aperture spacing of 0.4 m increases from 0.0043 to 0.3239 . This study summarizes the law of multi-aperture receiving characteristics of wireless laser communication..
