Meng Die, Zhang Rong-fu, Yu Hao
2015, 36(3): 381-385. doi: 10.5768/JAO201536.0301008
Abstract:
In the system of near-field uniform lighting, lens design methods commonly use sphere as the inner surface, and the calculation of the free-form surface only considers primary reflection . But when the angle reaches a certain scope, total reflection on the free-form surface of the lens is easy to occur ,which will lead to the poor illumination performance. In order to get the larger light distribution in the near-field lighting system ,a free-form lens design method based on the modulation of the parabolic inner surface was proposed. The parabolic can diffuse the energy of the light source, and then calculate the free-form surface. Through simulation, the uniform light spot with 40 mm radius can be realized at 15 mm distance away from light source, while the uniformity reaches 95%, the efficiency reaches 97.8%. Comparing with traditional direct lens, the uniformity is enhanced and the height of backlight box is decreased by using the structure of this lens.

Abstract:
In order to improve the capacity of weapons system to attack multiple targets precisely at the same time, the multi-target tracker can be used to assist laser and servo platform to capture and track multiple potential targets in electro-optical system. A novel multi-target detecting algorithm run in multitarget tracker was studied. According to the difficulty of processing timely in embedded system for the high resolution of digital image and mountainous data flow, based on TMS320C6455 digital signal processing (DSP), a global optical flow estimate image mosaic algorithm based on wavelet pyramid decomposition was proposed to achieve background compensation in moving image to get difference image.Compared to traditional block matching, gray-scale projection matching and key-points relevant matching algorithm, the new method is more accurate and timely running. Region growth combined with tunnel filter algorithm was carried out to acquire multiple final targets in difference image. The experiment verified that the method can achieve 95% detection rate and cost only 25 ms for automobile, bicycle and pedestrian in complex ground, which has good real-time performance and detecting effect.

Abstract:
Encrypted transmission of high-definition video surveillance is an important researching area, but with the continuous improvement of the clarity of the video image, the existing video encryption algorithm is facing a severe test. Therefore, we explored the feasibility of using optical encryption and decryption for video transmission, proposed the single-channel video optical encryption technology based on liquid crystal light valve and double random phase encoding. This technologys time consuming of encryption and decryption was almost zero,which could greatly improve the performance of video transmission. Additional, due to the optical encryption technology was used only in the front end and the end of the existing video transmission link, and did not involve video coding and transmission, the availability and versatility of the system could be enhanced. At last, the method was simulated by using Matlab software. The results show that the encrypted image of each channel is close to white noise,so it is almost impossible to recover the original image. Meanwhile, after decryption, the image can be completely restored. Therefore, this method has broad promotion and application value in the growing popularity of high-definition video in the future.

2015, 36(3): 403-407. doi: 10.5768/JAO201536.0302004
Abstract:
Considering the human eyes- perception capability, the pseudo color coding technology is usually adopted to colorize the output gray image of infrared systems. Comparing to gray images, computers need more memory and calculation to process color images. Since some infrared equipments only provide pseudo color images,the grayscale conversion of pseudo color image was studied. Besides the 3 common algorithms, maximum decomposition, average and luminance, a decoding method was presented to decolorize infrared images. Based on the 2 kinds of methods above, decolorizing for both linear and sinusoidal nonlinear pseudo color images were studied in experiment; furthermore, image quality was also compared. The experiment result demonstrates that the decoding method is a kind of lossless algorithm for linear pseudo color image with 0 mean squared error. For sinusoidal nonlinear algorithm, loss due to quantization errors are inevitable, it still has a quite low mean square error (0.309 4) and high peak signal noise ratio (101.356 0).

2015, 36(3): 408-414. doi: 10.5768/JAO201536.0303001
Abstract:
The Brewster window of traditional cryogenic radiometer has a great influence on the accuracy of absolute spectral responsivity calibration of standard transfer traps. In this paper, the traditional calibration for standard transfer trap was introduced. The reasons of precision degradation due to Brewster window and its state repeatability were analyzed, based on which a novel calibration scheme was proposed. The cryogenic radiometer and standard transfer trap were assembled on a concentric orbit and manipulated by an accurately electromechanical driving mechanism. By alternately switching the two instruments into calibration optical path, the absolute calibration for a standard transfer trap against cryogenic radiometer could be carried out. The new calibration system could completely eliminate the influences caused by Brewster window, would reduce about 50% uncertainty of laser power measurement and further reduce the uncertainty during the calibration process, which is of great significance in improving the accuracy of radiometric calibration.

We find that with the sustained action of pump light ,the population of F=3 and F=4 are pumping to |F=4,mF=4, and the polarizability reaches maximum value. At the same time the signal-noise ratio of experimental result increases effectively by using two pump beams, then the sensitivity of atomic magnetometer increases by 34%.

To eliminate the punching error of the flexible printed circuits(FPC) caused by the deformation of the films during the running time of the trim puncher, we used the images of the target after punching to measure the distance between the dies and the punching edge, and calculated the error of the system in order to do error compensation. The experiment results demonstrate that, after error compensation, the root-mean-square error of the punching position, respectively, reduces by 41.6% and 17.0% in X-direction and in Y-direction, the process capability index of system is 1.6118. We used film to extend the dimensions of the FPC production and increase the useful area of the production, so that the cost of production could decrease. The proposed rapid superresolution measurement, without using image registration, enable to reduce the position error of image edges from 0.5 pixels to 0.25 pixels. The error compensation used in this study can reduce the error of punching position caused by running a production for several hours. The proposed system is capable of satisfying the precision requirements of FPC punching.
