A scene simulation for aerial refueling was developed based on Creator/Vega Prime. The experimental results of the test on the video of scene simulation show that the success rate of tracking drogue is 95.5%, the average time consumption is about 31.4 ms, and the algorithm can meet well requirements of drogue tracking, such as robustness, precision and real time performance.

Abstract:
The signal collected by using the spectrometer is inevitably affected by different noise sources. In order to increase the analytical accuracy of spectrum signal, an improved denoising method with threshold was presented by analyzing the principle of applying the wavelet to signal denoising and the defects existed in classical denoising methods by using soft and hard thresholds. The improved method can overcome both the defects,that the hard threshold method generates discontinuities and the soft threshold method generates a constant variation, and can retain the useful signals as much as possible. In experiment, the SymletsA wavelet was selected as the wavelet function with 4 series, through combining with the perlevel threshold determined by the BirgeMassart tactics pattern,the denoising process was conducted for the fluorescence spectrum signal of CdSe quantum dots . Simulation results demonstrate that the rebuilt signal by the improved denoising method with threshold can has a increased signaltonoise ratio(SNR=47.550 2) and a energy accounting(PER=0.973 3), as well as an improved mean squared error(MSE=149.421 3) compared with the classical denoising methods by using soft and hard thresholds.

Abstract:
In order to make sure of adequate lighting for the driver of the vehicle, and prevent the opposite driver from glare, an automotive dipped headlamp system with a cutoff line was designed. A dipped headlamp according to GB259912010 light distribution standard (automotive headlamps with LED light sources/or LED modules) was designed with highpower LED and free form reflectors (FFRs) which had simple structure and high optical efficiency. Based on the nonimaging optics theory, the correspondence between the angle of the light reflected by the freeform reflector and the coordinates of point in the target plane was established. The freeform lens point coordinates were calculated according to the correspondence of reflection and refraction laws. To achieve light distribution requirement, the fundamental surfaces were divided legitimately and the surface profile data of subsurfaces were optimized and adjusted. The function of dipped headlamp was realized by 3 LEDs, each of which had its own independent optical system. The test results show that the optical system has a clear cutoff line, with the efficiency reaching 54%, which can fully meet the requirements of the illumination of regulation on each test point.

The measurement principle of the highvelocity gas flow parameters by using laser Brillouin scattering was reviewed. A measurement device based on the FabryPerot interferometer (FPI) was designed to measure the RayleighBrillouin spectrum of the gas flow, and the laser Brillouin scattering spectrum was obtained for a N2 gas flow. Experimental results show that the error of the pressure and temperature derived from the Brillouin scattering spectrum is less than 15% compared with the theory model.

Abstract:
In order to study the thermal effect of Yb∶YAG crystal endpumped by pulse laser diode(LD),the temperature distribution of crystal was calculated based on semianalytic method. The crystal thermal model was built under the real work situation and the initial conditions and boundary conditions were established in this research, according to the working characteristic of square Yb∶YAG micro crystal endpumped continuously by LD. Furthermore, considering the function relation between the coefficient of thermal conductivity and temperature and solving the heat conduction equation with Newton method, the temperature distribution was obtained. Finally, the influences of different factors such as the different pump power, super Gauss order, radius of spot, thickness of crystal on crystal were studied. The research results show that maximum temperature of Yb∶YAG crystal endpumped surface is 41.25 ℃ and 52.14 ℃,respectively, under the different conditions that thermalconductivity is constant and nonconstant. And in that case, the first order superGaussian light was used,with the output power of 80 W and the spot radius of 400 m, to pump the crystal with the mass fraction of 8% and the size of 431 mm3. It is very significant to reduce the thermal effect of full solid state Yb∶YAG crystal in this research.
