Abstract:
When the split detection light screen is used to test projectile velocity of the indoor target trajectory, the sensitivity of detection light screen directly affects the accuracy of initial velocity measurement. The sensitivity distribution of a large-area triangular detection light screen formed by a line light source coupled with a lens-type receiving device was studied. Considering the off-axis effect of optical lens and the attenuation of line light source with the distance, the illuminance at different positions in the detection light screen was equivalent to the line light source. Assuming that the thickness of the light screen was uniform and the projectile length was always greater than the thickness of the screen, the ratio of the area formed by the projectile blocking the detection light screen to the cross-sectional area of the light screen in the current area was equivalent to the ratio of the projectile diameter to the width of the light screen at the current position. The theoretical simulation and live ammunition test verification were carried out on the 4.8 m×2.4 m triangular detection light screen. The simulation analysis results are consistent with the live ammunition test results. The sensitivity is higher near the lens and lower far away from the lens, and the standard deviation of the analog voltage amplitude in the key detection area was 0.05 V, from which the uniformity meets the test requirements. The research results can provide references for the engineering design of the triangular detection light screen.

Abstract:
The accuracy of stability control is an important indicator of photoelectric pod system. In order to reduce the effect of gyro drift on stability accuracy in stabilized sighting control, the gyro drift needs to be compensated. A method of drift measurement and compensation was introduced for the photoelectric pod based on the navigation system, which was designed to calculate the component of earth rotation in the platform by the position and attitude data of airborne navigation system and pod angle during drift measurement phase of photoelectric pod, so as to obtain a more accurate gyro error. And in the stable phase, the gyro error and earth rotation component were compensated respectively by the navigation system. This method could effectively separate the earth rotation component and gyro error in the gyro drift measurement stage and adjust earth rotation component in the stable stage, so that the stability precision of stabilized sighting system could be improved. The experimental results show that, by comparing the results of 10-minute traditional drift measurement and drift measurement based on the navigation system, the accumulated drift error is stably controlled, the pitch angle is reduced from 1.80° in traditional method to 0.04°, and the heading angle is reduced from 0.77° to 0.04°.

Abstract:
Aiming at the instability problem caused by the nonlinear constraint between the driving axis and the sensitive axis of the azimuth line-of-sight (LOS) control with the two-dimensional gyro platform, the variation rules of influence of azimuth line-of-sight (LOS) by different types of disturbance sources were analyzed, and a passing zenith stabilization method based on the disturbance sources classification control was proposed. This method used the feedback and feedforward dual channel compound control structure, eliminated the endogenous torque disturbance caused by gyro measurement noise amplification in the zenith position based on the control structure itself, and the torque disturbance caused by the high frequency component of the roll disturbance was suppressed by adding the filtering link of the feedforward channel, then the vibration problem of the azimuth drive axis in zenith position was solved. At the same time, the azimuth and the low frequency component of the roll disturbance were effectively isolated by the feedback channel and the feedforward channel. The simulation results show that this method can effectively suppress the amplitude of azimuth motor torque disturbance caused by the gyro measurement noise and high frequency component of the roll disturbance, and enhance the system stability. Finally, an experiment was carried out on a two-dimensional gyro platform. The stabilization precision of the line-of-sight bearing subjected to vibration in zenith position was reduced from 82.4 μrad to 44.6 μrad, and the isolation ratio was increased from −14.54 dB to −27.85 dB under the swing condition. The experimental results show that this method can effectively improve the disturbance isolation performance of azimuth line-of-sight in zenith position.

2021, 42(6): 1017-1024. doi: 10.5768/JAO202142.0602002
Abstract:
Due to the influence of atmospheric turbulence, the images obtained by the remote optical imaging equipment will appear serious degradation phenomena, such as geometric distortion, motion blur and defocus blur, etc. At present, the mainstream turbulence restoration algorithms usually rely on the non-rigid registration, reconstruction or finding rare lucky regions from long-term video sequences. These methods require huge calculated amount or complete video data in advance, which cannot meet the real-time requirements of actual application scenarios. Therefore, a real-time turbulence restoration algorithm that could be implemented in field programmable gate array (FPGA) was proposed. This method used the randomness of atmospheric turbulence to filter the image in the time domain through the continuous frames and solved the problem of image geometric distortion. Then, the Wiener filter in the frequency domain was converted into a convolution in the spatial domain, which was easier to implement, and solved the problem of image blur. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm not only meets the real-time requirements, but also effectively realizes the restoration of turbulence images.

Abstract:
Aiming at the problems that the current image segmentation algorithm has low accuracy in realizing the internal defect segmentation of industrial castings and the algorithm is not lightweight enough, an improved industrial casting internal defect detection algorithm Effi-DeepLab based on DeepLabv3+ was proposed.

Aiming at the problem of small internal defects in industrial castings, the expansion rate of the hollow convolution in the atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) layer was redesigned. The convolution block was more robust to small targets; the low-order semantic information in the feature extraction stage was fully utilized at the decoding end to perform multi-scale feature fusion to improve the accuracy of small target defect segmentation. The experimental results show that the segmentation accuracy and mIoU of the Effi-DeepLab model in the internal defect image data set of the automobile wheel are 93.58% and 89.39%, respectively, which are improved by 2.65% and 2.24%, respectively, compared with DeepLabv3+, and has better segmentation effect.

Then, the overlap area of the projection image was acquired by the camera and the color intensity of each pixel was calculated, and the peak signal-to-noise ratio was calculated by the ideal value. Then, the correction accuracy and flexibility of quadratic B-spline curve and cubic B-spline curve were compared. Finally, the edge brightness of the projection image was optimized by cubic B-spline until the peak signal-to-noise ratio reached the standard value. The experimental results show that the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the channel R in the overlapped area of the projection image is increased by 9.13 dB, that of the channel G by 6.09 dB, and that of the channel B by 7.53 dB.

Abstract:
The micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) acoustic film has extremely high requirements for tape-out, storage and packaging environments, and its surface defects will affect the quality and performance of MEMS devices. The image defects detection is an effective non-contact optical detection means that can effectively improve the yield rate of MEMS production. However, the periodic structure texture of the MEMS devices surface will interfere with defect detection. A acoustic film defect detection algorithm based on frequency domain transformation was proposed. By calculating the gradient distribution of spectrogram and establishing the Boolean mask, the dominant frequency components corresponding to the periodic structure texture were eliminated. The residual spectrograms were subjected to a Fourier inversion to reconstruct the defect images. The reconstructed images were decomposed by single-layer Haar wavelet to obtain the low-frequency sub-band image and the defect information was extracted by simple threshold segmentation. The defect detection effects of different types of MEMS acoustic film were showed. The experimental results show that it is reasonable to set the zoom constant in the range of 0.7~1.0.

Abstract:
Aiming at the characteristics of hyper-spectral imaging, a scheme for detecting tiny cameras based on three-dimensional features was proposed. The results were accurately determined in the spectral dimension after the suspected target was screened out by the cat's eye effect in the space dimension. According to the camera structure, the reflection spectral characteristics of the visible light camera were analyzed. Based on the geometric optics and radiometry, the detection distance of the system was calculated and simulated. The results show that if the equipment is working properly, the optical power affects the minimum detection distance, while the target size affects the maximum detection distance. A tiny-camera spectral feature verification system was built. The results show that the non-reflective light ratio curve of the target using the absorptive infrared cut-off filter changes smoothly and the value is high. As for the curve of the target using the reflective infrared cut-off filter, the value is high in visible light part while it is low in infrared part, and the curve begins to drop near 700 nm and even mutates where the absolute slope value is more than 10 times as it in the infrared band according to the experimental data. The experimental results are consistent with the expected results of the analysis, which proves the feasibility of hyper-spectral imaging technology to detect tiny cameras.

On this basis, a parallel processing method of DM code based on spatial light modulator was designed, and experimental verification of laser parallel processing of DM code was carried out in quartz glass. Compared with the traditional single-beam laser marking two-dimensional code, the processing efficiency was improved.

Abstract:
Aiming at the large aperture optical window working in the complex environment such as pressure difference and temperature gradient, a combination scheme of optical window was proposed, which was composed of optical glass and acrylic plate. Based on the thermal-optical analysis, the overall strength and thermal environment of optical window were analyzed and calculated theoretically, and the minimum thickness of optical window glass was obtained. The pressure field and axial temperature field were mapped to three-dimensional structure model by finite element software. The surface shape change and imaging quality evaluation index of 380 mm diameter optical window under different glass thickness were calculated. The simulation results were verified by corresponding environmental tests. The results show that the thickness of large aperture optical window with K9 optical glass as raw material is not less than 32.5 mm under this working environment; when the thickness of optical window is 35 mm, the thermodynamic effect can be ignored. Therefore, the large aperture combined optical window of 35 mm can not only meet the intensity, but also meet the imaging quality requirements of multi-spectral camera, which provides a basis for the design of this kind of window.

Abstract:
Based on the theory of matrix optics, the first-order properties of the zoom system of the three-element variable focal power devices were analyzed, and the control equation of the focal power based on the system magnification was obtained. Combined with the initial parameters of the three-element system and taking the minimum spherical aberration as the objective, the initial structure of the system was designed, the control function of the shape parameters of the lens was obtained, and the focal power and image quality were evaluated and calculated. Finally, the design example was compared and verified. The results show that the solution of the optimal value of the minimum spherical aberration is reliable. The starting point and method of the design provide a theoretical research reference for the further design of zoom system by using variable focal power devices.
