    This paper proposes a new algorithm based on gradient similarity (GSIM).By comparing the original images with the disturbed ones on their luminance contrast and resolution an image quality assessment index system was obtained and a modified GSIM was constructed.Comparison experiments show that the correlation prediction accuracy and consistency of the proposed metric are respectively 8.5% 7.6% and 4.8% higher than the PSNR index and are respectively 1.5% 3.8% and 2.6% higher than the SSIM index.In terms of experiment results, the new algorithm shows better feasibility comparing with MSE PSNR and SSIM image quality assessment methods.GSIM can overcome the influence of the difference in background intensity and it is efficacious to reflect the laser-dazzling effect.

    There is a lot of uncertain information in target recognition which can be learned and reasoned by the use of BN.However the target recognition problem is of small sample size and there are often some errors due to lack of observational data during parameter learning.Therefore it is needed to introduce monotonic expertise.Focusing on the above problem the minimum unit algorithm was proposed.By use of the minimum unit the monotonic information was translated into priori information which could be directly used in parameter learning.Then based on the thinking of isotonic regression the parameter learning outcomes were optimized and the errors were eliminated.The relatively accurate network parameters were obtained.On the background of aerial target recognition the advantages of minimum unit algorithm compared with the minimum lower sets algorithm in accuracy and complexity are illustrated.

    Aiming at the problems such as hysteresis and large calculation amount during path planning of moving targets we put forward a path planning method suitable for moving target in dynamic environments.First of all the Kalman filter algorithm was used to estimate the next position of the target.Then the D* algorithm was used for the path planning of the UAV by taking its current position as a starting point and the targets predicted position as a destination.In order to reduce the prediction error and ensure efficient route planning the dynamic observation periods were used.Since the Kalman filtering algorithm predicts the next state of UAV according to a recursive formula it doesnt need a lot of historical data(one at most).The prediction algorithm can not only reduce the calculation cost but also has strong real-time performance.The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively shorten the distance and reduce the time needed for getting to the target position.

    To compromise the gap between the linear and nonlinear controllers we made a study on how to design a linear time varying controller using virtual reference feedback tuning strategy.To identify the unknown time varying parameter vectors in the two linear time varying controllers we added a new regularization term about the two unknown time varying parameter vectors to the formal cost function.So we could constrain the time varying parameter vectors jump property in virtue of this regularization term.An iterative separable nonlinear least-squares identification method was proposed to estimate the unknown time varying parameter vectors.Through iterating the global optimum of the time varying parameter vectors could be obtained.By means of the convex optimization theory we derived a critical value and take it as the starting point for finding the appropriate regularization coefficient.Finally the simulation example results verified the validity of the identification method.

    LFM radar signal has coupling between the range and Doppler frequency.Based on the method of ladder wave jamming a method of random frequency-shift jamming was proposed.Random Doppler frequency-shift component was added in center frequency bandwidth of the positive and negative half and false targets could be generated randomly distributed around the real target.Random frequency-shifting technique has high randomness thus the radar cant obtain the position of the real target through frequency compensation of multi-false-target.The false-target generated by random frequency-shifting is partially adaptive to the radar thus the false-target range can be broadened.When the random frequency-shifting is close to radars center frequency the generated false-targets can even cover the real-target and achieve very good effect.
