2020, 41(1): 1-9. doi: 10.5768/JAO202041.0101001
Abstract:
Based on the theory of coded exposure, an applied embedded coded exposure camera system was designed. The exposure shutter of camera was controlled according to the preset coding sequence when collecting the moving target image, and the image of photo-generated charge multiple superimposed with a transfer was obtained. The acquired image was a motion blurred image with coded exposure information, which had more details of the target. The data was temporarily stored in the data memory by the coded exposure image after the AD conversion, and the restored image was decoded by the core device. The experimental results show that the coded exposure camera can effectively solve the problem of linear motion blur. In the same conditions, the index average value of restored image quality under coded exposure condition is increased nearly twice than that of restored image quality under single exposure condition by using the no-reference image evaluation index test.

Abstract:
The photoelectric positioning of moving targets cannot do the mean filtering as simple as the stationary targets. In view of this, the particle filter algorithm was introduced, which could be applied in both linear and nonlinear systems. Firstly, based on the requirements of photoelectric positioning, the calculation formulas as well as the initial value and parameter selection formulas were deduced in detail. Secondly, the photoelectric passive positioning algorithm of sea moving targets with only measurement noise and with the measurement and motion noises was simulated, which verified the validity of algorithm. Finally, the influence of noise intensity on filtering effect, the influence of filtering parameters selection on filtering effect, the influence of target motion mode on filtering following performance and the resampling algorithms on filtering effect were discussed. The conclusions are as follows: ① the particle filter can be used in the photoelectric positioning process of moving targets to effectively reduce the positioning error; ② the particle filter algorithm has strong robustness, which is suitable for the situations such as large noise, big changes of target motion morphology, etc.

2020, 41(1): 24-32. doi: 10.5768/JAO202041.0101004
Abstract:
Recovering the depth of scenes from images is a key issue in the field of computer vision. Considering that the single type images were limited by different illumination of scenes in depth estimation, a method of depth estimation based on the progressively fusion convolution neural network of infrared and visible light images (PF-CNN) was proposed. This method includes the two-stream filter partially coupled network (TFCNet), the adaptive multi-model feature fusion network (AMFNet) and adaptive progressively feature fusion network (APFNet). The filters of infrared and visible light images are partially coupled in the TFCNet to enhance the features of them. The AMFNet learns the residual features of infrared and visible light images and fused them adaptively to fully utilize the complementary information. The APFNet learns the combination of multi-layer fusion features to make full use of the different characteristics of different convolutional layers. The experimental results show that the proposed PF-CNN obtains best performances on the data set and increases the threshold accuracy by 5%, which is better than other methods significantly.

Abstract:
In order to expound the temperature characteristics of homogeneous material reflective system in principle, and provide the basis for the design of optical system, the temperature characteristics of single mirror, coaxial multi-mirror reflective system and off-axis reflective system were introduced successively, which were based on the thermal deformation characteristics and its calculation method, and the optical system focus was taken as the research object. Meanwhile, the corresponding thermal aberration model of reflective system was established. The simulation results show that the change of focal length with temperature in the off-axis three-mirror reflective system is completely consistent with the thermal deformation amount of corresponding lens barrel, and it has good imaging quality in the range of large temperature difference. The thermal defocus caused by the temperature change can be compensated by the lens barrel, which verifies the correctness of the theoretical model and draw a conclusion that there is no thermal aberration in the homogeneous material reflective system in the condition of uniform temperature field. Therefore, the optical system, especially the infrared system with obvious thermal aberration effect has good temperature adaptability when the homogeneous material reflective system is adopted.

2020, 41(1): 67-73. doi: 10.5768/JAO202041.0102001
Abstract:
The lateral shearing interferometry based on wavelength phase-shifting is proposed to achieve the collimated wavefront reconstruction of an interferometer. The emergent wavefront of an interferometer is reflected by front and rear surfaces of a wedge respectively, and returns through a corner cube, forming shearing interferogram on the CCD of the interferometer. The wavelength phase-shifting method is used to extract the phase information of the shearing interference fringes to achieve the collimated wavefront reconstruction. The impact of the relative shear ratio on the accuracy of the wavefront reconstruction is analyzed and the relationship between the relative shear ratio and its influencing f actors is derived. The estimation method of the constant component of the OPD in wavelength phase-shifting is given. Three wavefronts have been measured and their PV (peak to valley) values are 3.22λ, 2.10λ and 0.83λ. This method simplifies traditional lateral shearing measurement of collimated wavefront and improves the measurement accuracy. It is particularly suitable for measuring emergent wavefront of wavelength phase-shifting interferometers.

2020, 41(1): 74-78. doi: 10.5768/JAO202041.0102002
Abstract:
The image needs to be binarized during the identification process of the high-voltage meter. However, the phenomenon of uneven illumination and digital ghosting often appears in the instrument images, so that it is difficult to binarize the instrument images with traditional method. Therefore, a binarization method based on convolutional neural network was proposed to binarize the instrument images with digital ghosting under complex illumination. The data sets used in the network were the instrument images in real environment. Firstly, the dimensionality reduction was used to extract features of the input images, and then the foreground of images was reconstructed by deconvolution. Finally, the binary images were output by the network. Comparing the designed network with the traditional binarization method, the experimental results show that the binary images of the proposed network are clear and have no ghosting. The average IoU is 95.12, which is most similar to the sample label images. Therefore, the method can effectively solve the problem of binarization of instrument images with ghosting under complex environment.

Abstract:
Stereo matching is one of the key steps in binocular stereo vision system, and its accuracy has a significant impact on the subsequent research. The Census algorithm is widely used because of its advantages of simplicity and clarity, good running effect and strong real-time performance. However, the Census stereo matching algorithm also has some disadvantages, such as the center point of transform window is easily disturbed by the external conditions and the accuracy of the depth discontinuous region is low. Therefore, a new stereo matching algorithm based on Census transformation and guided filter was proposed. In the stage of Census transformation, the impact of the external interference was reduced by calculating the pixel average around the transform window. And at the same time, in the stage of cost aggregation, the guided filter with tipping characteristics and its computational complexity was independent of the size for filter nuclear was introduced as the adaptive weight. The experimental results show that the average mistake matching error of the proposed algorithm is 6.03% on the Middlebury test platform. Compared with the current average mistake matching rate of 16.2% for Census stereo matching algorithm, the matching effect is obviously improved, and the algorithm has high efficiency and good radiation invariance.

Abstract:
In machine vision, the collected images with distortion need to be corrected. In order to improve the real-time performance of distorted images correction, aiming at the problem of complex on-line calculation of reverse mapping coordinates and insufficient ROM capacity on chip when using FPGA(Field-Programmable Gate Array) to realize the algorithm of image distortion correction, the compressed reverse mapping table was reconstructed online by interpolation method on FPGA. The reverse mapping coordinates were obtained by seeking the reconstructed reverse mapping table, which reduced the online computation of FPGA and the capacity requirement of ROM on chip. The simulation results of MATLAB show that when the compressed parameters are 4, 8 and 16, respectively,the distortion images can be corrected better and the image information cannot be lost. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of algorithm, which can be used for image distortion correction based on FPGA.

Abstract:
Aiming at the degradation problem of the images collected by the optical imaging equipment in hazy days, a Dual Dehazing Network based on dual learning from the source domain to the target domain is proposed to realize the image dehazing. First, the network learns the bilateral mapping relationship between the hazy image and the haze-free image by using the Dual Generative Adversarial Network, and obtains the preliminary dehazing result. Then the pre-training model is used to calculate the feature vector of the dehazed image and the real haze-free image in the feature space. The Euclidean distance is used as the loss function to minimize the distance between the feature vectors to ensure that the dehazed image is close to the real haze-free image at the feature level. The experimental results show that the dehazing results obtained by the Dual Dehazing network have higher peak signal-to-noise ratio and lower color difference, and can effectively preserve the structural information of the image.

Abstract:
Aiming at the small transmittance estimate and the Halo effect caused by the sudden change in the depth of field of the dark channel prior algorithm in the large sky area, an image defogging algorithm combined with lab space and single-scale retinex was proposed. Firstly, the RGB image was transferred to the lab space to extract the luminance component, and the edge information of this was extracted by the Canny operator to enrich the details of the restored image. Secondly, the single-scale retinex was used to perform a Gaussian adaptive filtering of the non-edge region to estimate the optimized luminance component, and the “false” defogging image as well as the rough transmittance was obtained. Then, the cross-bilateral filtering was used to eliminate the Halo effect by optimizing the transmittance. Finally, the defogging image was recovered on the basis of the atmospheric scattering model. The experimental results show that the image recovered by this method is clear and smooth overall, and also has a good recovery effect on images with large sky areas.

2020, 41(1): 127-133. doi: 10.5768/JAO202041.0102010
Abstract:
The adjacent meshes of the urban digital surface model (UDSM) are often subject to curvature upheavals, and these locations are details of the UDSM that should be preserved as much as possible during simplification. In order to solve this problem, the centroidal Voronoi diagram was introduced to repartition the mesh, and the point cloud density of the surface with small curvature could be greatly reduced. The size of the redrawn mesh surface was greatly different from that of the surrounding smooth triangular mesh. On this basis, the quadric error matrix edge collapse was used for levels of details (LOD) construction, and the area of obvious changes in the mesh could be greatly reduced. On the premise that the time performance and mesh error are similar to that of the direct edge simplification, the algorithm can save more simplified mesh details.

Abstract:
In order to optimize the phase reconstruction algorithm, the distribution characteristics and spectral response of different filtering windows were analyzed for the Fourier spectrum of the wavefront interferogram. The optimal filtering window type of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) dynamic phase reconstruction algorithm was determined by computer simulation and experimental test. The residual error of the wavefront peak-valley value between the reconstructed wavefront by the simulated interferogramand the original wavefront is 0.008 5λ, as well as the residual of the wavefront root-mean-square is 0.000 1λ,while the residual of the wavefront peak-valley value between the obtained wavefront by the experimental interferogram and by the phase-shifting interferometry is 0.009 3λ, as well as the residual of the wavefront root-mean-square is 0.000 5λ. The results show that, after fitting the phase filtered and reconstructed by Hamming window, the residual surface error of the wavefront obtained is smaller that the reference wavefront, and the phase reconstruction accuracy is better than 0.01λ, which can be further applied to the measurement of large-caliber optical elements.

Because the objects in the autopilot scene often show very large scale changes, the algorithm based on DeepLabv3+ network can cover a larger scale range by introducing densely connected atrous spatial pyramid pooling module. In addition, the algorithm splices the multi-layer results of the encoder module into the decoder module to recover more spatial information and low-level features lost in the downsampling process. Through end-to-end learning and training, it can be directly used for semantics segmentation of night vision infrared images. The experimental results show that the segmentation accuracy of the algorithm is better than that of the original DeepLabv3+ algorithm, and the mean intersection over union reaches 80.42, which has good real-time performance and accuracy.

Abstract:
Tunable lasers are widely used in optical fiber sensing and optical fiber communications, which have attracted extensive attention. A tunable laser system based on FFP-TF2 filter was designed and built. The driving voltage generated by the DDS(direct digital frequency synthesis) function signal generator and the analog amplifying circuit designed by the FPGA was adjusted to change the cavity length of the FFP-TF2, thereby changing the output of the laser wavelength. This system could drive the single point voltage and scanning voltage of FFP-TF2, so that the single-wavelength laser and the multi-wavelength scanning laser could be output by laser. In the laser output wavelength range of 1 532 nm to 1 568 nm, the single-wavelength output and the multi-wavelength scanning range could be adjusted, and the two modes could be switched. Experimental results show that the 3 dB linewidth of the laser output is kept at about 0.01 nm, the linear fitting degree of the laser output center wavelength and the driving voltage is 99.934%, the sensitivity is 3.915 nm/V, while the linear fitting degree of the FFP-TF2 output center wavelength and the driving voltage is 99.986%, the sensitivity is 4.021 nm/V. And the error of the laser output center wavelength relative to FFP-TF2 is 2.6%, which indicates that the laser system output wavelength has the advantages of narrow line width, good stability and high flexibility.

Abstract:
In order to ensure the scanning quality of F-θ lens for semiconductor laser marking machine and realize the linear change of the image height and the scanning angle, it is necessary to give a certain distortion to the F-θ lens and satisfy the isoplanatic condition. Firstly, the working principle and aberration requirements of the F-θ lens were analyzed, and the appropriate glass material was selected by the light source imaging requirements of 1 064 nm semiconductor laser marking machine to reasonably distribute the focal power of each lens to ensure the isoplanatic imaging. Secondly, according to the linear imaging requirements of F-θ lens, the total distortion of the system was 1.6%, which was the sum of the actual barrel distortion and the relative distortion. Finally, in the optimization design of the optical system, these two optimal parameters were introduced to observe the system imaging changes during the optimization process. The design results show that the system modulation transfer function (MTF) curve is closed to the diffraction limit, the relative distortion of the F-θ lens is less than 0.36%, the root-mean-square (RMS) radius of each field of view (FOV) is smaller than the Airy disk diameter, and 70% energy of the whole system is concentrated in a circle with a diameter of 16 μm, the total distortion of the system is 1.58%, which meets the requirements of design index.

Abstract:
In order to study the propagation law of laser-excited ultrasonic waves on metal plate with transitional fillet and the method of detecting surface defects, the finite element method was used to simulate the laser ultrasonic phenomenon in the plate, and the propagation process of surface wave in the rounded area and its interaction with defects were analyzed.The numerical result shows that, the laser excites the longitudinal wave, the transverse wave and the Rayleigh wave, and the Rayleigh wave mainly exists on the surface of millimeter magnitude. At the transition fillet, these surface waves are converted in mode, and various surface waves such as direct wave R′ and infrasound source generated wave RR are generated;the waves passing through the transition area are reflected and transmitted at the surface defects, and the position of the defect can be detected by the B-scan. As the depth of the defect increases, the transmission coefficient constantly decreases,and there is a difference in arrival time of about 0.5 μs between the transmitted waves Rt and Rst, which is linearly positively correlated with the depth of the defect. The numerical results provide valuable references for laser ultrasonic detection of plate surface defects with transition fillet.

Abstract:
The formation principle of zero error on high precision fiber-optic gyro was introduced, and the impact of temperature and magnetic field on the zero error of high precision fiber-optic gyro was analyzed in detail. The simulation results show that the zero-bias peak value drift caused by temperature is 0.06°/h. Finally, the theoretical model and experimental research were carried out under the cross-linking condition of alternating temperature field and radial static magnetic field. The experimental results show that under the action of radial magnetic field and temperature, the maximum drift value of the fiber-optic gyro generated by the cross-linking coupling effect is about 1% order of the sensitivity of the radial magnetic field, which is consistent with the theoretical model.

Abstract:
Based on the principle of Raman scattering temperature measurement, a distributed optical fiber system was built to carry out the simulated leakage points location experiment of UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) and cast-iron water pipes. Firstly, the original Anti-Stokes optical signal was filtered and smoothed. Then, the temperature measurement signal was classified and analyzed by using correlation coefficient method to identify whether the leakage occured in water pipes. Finally, the leakage points location in UVPC and cast-iron water pipes was identified by selective threshold method. The experimental results show that the distributed fiber optic system works stably and can accurately identify the leakage points of water pipes. The selective average threshold method can accurately locate the leakage points of 200 m underground water pipes and the location error ranges from 0.25 m to 0.65 m.
