  Abstract:In order to eliminate the backscattering phenomenon of the infrared laser sport images, or make the distribution of laser spot's gray levels reasonable, a backscattering suppression algorithm based on the spot center of gravity and an algorithm for compensating the gray levels of a laser spot were proposed. The backscattering suppression algorithm was based on extracting the laser spot's center of gravity. Then, the radius of the laser spot can be determined. Finally, the gray levels of the image should be decided by the set threshold. The algorithm for compensating the gray levels of the laser spot was based on determining the laser spot's edge points. Then, the center of the laser spot can be calculated. After that, the center should be corrected through the intensity of regional energy, and the radius of the laser spot would be confirmed. Finally, the gray levels of the laser spot were adjusted through the laser spot's center and radius. The experiment results of these two algorithms and their analyses were shown. Research proves that the backscattering suppression algorithm can substantially eliminate the backscattering phenomenon in the laser spot image, and the distribution of laser spot's gray levels is improved. The images which are processed by the algorithms are suitable for further analysis in engineering experiments or real-time observation. ©, 2014, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

  Abstract:Color constancy is of important for many computer vision applications, such as image classification, color object recognition, object tracking and so on. But unlike the human visual system, imaging device cannot be able to compute color constant descriptors which do not vary with the color of the illuminant, so solving color constancy problem is necessary. In the calculation of color constancy, illuminant estimation is the key. Because grey surfaces can perfectly reflect the color of the scene illumination, many methods have been proposed to identify grey surfaces to estimate the illuminant. But they either rely on the camera.s parameters, lacking universality, or work inaccurate in worse conditions. In order to solve these problems, in this paper, an iterative method is proposed. The quality of the proposed method is tested and compared to the previous color constancy methods on the Macbeth Chart and two data sets of synthetic and real images. Through MATLAB simulation, experimental pictures and quantitative data for performance evaluation were gotten. The simulated results show that the proposed algorithm is accurate and efficient in identification of the grey surfaces, even in worse condition. And it performs well in color constancy computation on both synthetic and real images. © 2014 SPIE.

  Abstract:As the conventional angular measuring system which uses rotary encoders has the shortcomings of low resolution, large quantization noise and low angular velocity accuracy, a sensor fusion angle measurement method based on fiber optic gyroscope and rotary encoder was proposed. First, the encoder angle signal and the fiber optic gyro rate integration value were subtracted in a sliding window, and the rate drift of fiber optic gyroscope was estimated utilize least square method from the deviation signal. Secondly, the angle was estimated using the compensated angular velocity signal and the encoder signal through a certain combination algorithm. Finally, mathematical simulation and experimental verification were conducted for the proposed method. The results show that the simulation value and experimental value of angle measurement accuracy are improved from 1.2″ and 1.1″ to 0.17″ and 0.76″, respectively. The angular velocity measurement accuracy are also improved from 0.002°·s-1 to 0.001°·s-1. The proposed methed effectively improves the angle and angular velocity measurement accuracy, while avoiding the rate drift problem of fiber optic gyroscope. ©, 2014, Chinese Optical Society.

  Abstract:To tackle the problem that traditional focus measure technologies cannot measure the focus shifting caused by thermal distortion in single pulse high power laser system, a system, composed with double vertical wedge groups producing array spots, can make instantly focus measure available. Two pairs of wedge -mirror groups which are placed vertically to each other are utilized as beam splitting system in this system. All those rays are finally detected by a detector, and formed a matric of spots with various sizes. Through single detection of spots matrix, various focus position shifts and the focus shifting measurement of the high power laser with single shot are obtained. After theoretical analyzing, software simulating and experiment testing, this technique has the advantages such as the adjustable detecting accuracy and range, good disperse quality, and the ability of restraining the effect of parasitic light.

  Abstract:A design of a laser communications optical system with high transmitting and receiving performance is given. The traditional on-axis Cassegrain optical antenna has the default that the transmitting and receiving power decreased greatly because of the obscuration of the secondary mirror. Considering that the eccentric-pupil Cassegrain optical antenna is designed. The optical antenna system in transceiver has been designed by means of CODEV software. It improves the efficiency of transmitting and receiving power effectively. Its properties have been analyzed, such as gain, image quality, and transmission efficiency. Meanwhile, the materials of optical elements have been analyzed. The power decline curve has been obtained by means of the detailed analysis of antenna system in partial axis situation.

  Abstract:Image denoising is a well explored topic in the field of image processing. In the past several decades, the progress made in image denoising has benefited from the improved modeling of natural images. In this paper, we introduce a new taxonomy based on image representations for a better understanding of state-of-the-art image denoising techniques. Within each category, several representative algorithms are selected for evaluation and comparison. The experimental results are discussed and analyzed to determine the overall advantages and disadvantages of each category. In general, the nonlocal methods within each category produce better denoising results than local ones. In addition, methods based on overcomplete representations using learned dictionaries perform better than others. The comprehensive study in this paper would serve as a good reference and stimulate new research ideas in image denoising. © 2013 IEEE.

  Abstract:Current demands in astrophotonics impose advancing optical functions in infrared domains within embedded refractive index designs. We demonstrate concepts for large-mode-area guiding in ultrafast laser photowritten waveguides in bulk Sulfur-based chalcogenide glasses. If positive index contrasts are weak in As2S3, Ge doping increases the matrix rigidity and allows for high contrast (10?3) positive refractive index changes. Guiding with variable mode diameter and large-mode-area light transport is demonstrated up to 10μm spectral domain using transverse slit-shaped and evanescently-coupled multicore traces. © 2014 Optical Society of America.
