Abstract:
The atmospheric turbulence effect is one of the important factors that seriously affect the image quality of aerial photoelectric reconnaissance system. Starting from the description of atmospheric turbulence parameters, the influence mechanism of atmospheric turbulence on the imaging quality of optical system was researched, the influencing factors of atmospheric turbulence on the modulation transfer function (MTF) of optical system were analyzed, and the theoretical model of atmospheric turbulence on the imaging MTF of optical system was established. The simulation results show that under the influence of atmospheric turbulence, the ratio of optical system pupil aperture to atmospheric coherence diameter has a great influence on the imaging MTF. By comparing the ground field experimental images of the optical system, the imaging MTF theoretical model of the actual optical system affected by atmospheric turbulence was verified. The research results can provide theoretical supports for the design of aerial photoelectric reconnaissance system and the improvement of imaging quality under the influence of atmospheric turbulence.

Abstract:
The imaging luminance measurement device (ILMD) can utilize the image sensor and the short focal length lens to achieve a large field of view and spatially resolved luminance measurement. However, there still exists problems of pixel nonlinear response of image sensor, strong vignetting effects of short focal length lens and image distortion. Therefore, a correction method of ILMD was proposed. Linear correction and flat-field correction were used to obtain linear correction coefficients and flat-field correction matrices by using standard radiation source method. The distortion correction matrix was obtained through the geometric coordinates calibration method. A 12 mm short focal length lens and a 2-megapixel image sensor were adopted to build an ILMD. After correction, the luminance measurement of the LCD panel was completed. It was compared with a commercial spectroradiometer and the test results show that the relative error of measurement does not exceed ±2%, which realizes the large field of view, high-precision and spatially resolved luminance measurement.

2022, 43(1): 36-40. doi: 10.5768/JAO202243.0101006
Abstract:
There exist friction torque, unbalanced torque and other disturbance torques in the process of image stabilization and target tracking by photoelectric pod, which affect the response accuracy of speed loop. On the other hand, the delay caused by the image transmission and processing of the pod video tracker can cause tracking lag. Therefore, the delay must be compensated so as to reduce the error. For this, a sliding mode variable structure control method based on prediction tracking was proposed, in which the differential prediction tracker was adopted to compensate the delay of video tracker, and the motion angular velocity of target estimated by the prediction tracker was applied to compose the adaptive parameter so as to adjust the quantity of sliding mode variable structure contro. The improved sliding mode control algorithm could compensate the disturbance torque and suppress the chattering phenomenon at the same time. The simulation and experiment results show that the improved control method can effectively compensate the errors caused by disturbance torque and delay of tracker , its tracking error is reduced to 1/3 of the original traditional PID control.What's more, the proposed method has been applied in related systems.

Abstract:
An attitude measurement method based on multi-sensor combination was proposed to solve the problem of target feature points occlusion due to spatial obstruction in large-scale spatial attitude measurement. The single-coordinate reference measurement of the measured feature point was realized by the digital level and the attitude probe, and the initial attitude of the target was obtained by the level difference of the feature point and its known geometric constraint relationship. On this basis, the attitude rotation matrix between high-precision tilt sensor and measured target was calibrated, and then the target attitude was calculated in real time from the sensor output based on the coordinate transformation theory. The experimental results show that the relative accuracy of attitude measurement is better than 0.001 5° in the range of 10 m, and the repeatability measurement error is less than 0.000 4°, which can be used for the precise real-time measurement of large-scale obstructed spatial attitude.

2022, 43(1): 167-170. doi: 10.5768/JAO202243.0108003
Abstract:
A temperature sensor based on coreless-few mode-coreless optical fiber structure was proposed for theoretical analysis and experimental study. The coreless fiber (CLF) and the few-mode fiber (FMF) were fused together to form a coreless-few mode-coreless optical fiber structure, and the single-mode fiber (SMF) was fused at both ends of the structure as input and output fiber. The mode mismatch between the first section of coreless fiber and single-mode fiber could excite higher-order modes. The two modes of LP01 and LP11 in the few-mode fiber were transmitted along the core of the few-mode fiber. Under the action of the second section coreless fiber, the two modes were recoupled back to the single-mode fiber, and the two modes interfered to form an interference spectrum. When the outside temperature changed, the optical path difference between the two modes also changed, and the interference troughs of the interference spectrum were shifted. Two different interference troughs were selected as the characteristic wavelengths for experimental analysis. The experimental results show that the interference troughs with wavelength around 1 550 nm and 1 534 nm both have red shift, and the corresponding temperature sensitivity is 68 pm/ and 44.5 pm/ respectively. The sensing structure has the advantages of simple fabrication, high sensitivity and good application prospects.

Abstract:
In order to meet the demand of microseismic monitoring in oil and gas development, a new type of underground three components optical fiber microseismic monitoring system was designed based on time-division multiplexing scheme. Combined with indoor test, the background noise of the system was less than −101 dB, dynamic range more than 120 dB, interstage crosstalk less than −67 dB, which meet the needs of microseismic signal detection. The system was successfully applied to the field detection of hydraulic fracturing microseism in Xinjiang Oilfield. The monitoring results show that the system can clearly capture the P-wave and S-wave signals of microseism, better reveal the characteristic information of hydraulic fracturing microseismic signals, and establish a good foundation for the spatial location of microseismic events and the interpretation of fracture characteristic parameters.
