The demand for audio/video applications in avionics network is increasing rapidly.There are highly requirements for network bandwidth and quality of service.Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) technology can provide a synchronized and low-latency audio/video service in traditional Ethernet network,and therefore it has received attention in avionics applications.On the basis of analyzing AVB protocol,a time-triggered AVB transmission mechanism is proposed with the real-time guarantee and a traffic mapping model for message exchange in avionics network.The system architecture of AVB is constructed as a case study for an integrated avionics system.The simulation results indicate that the time-triggered AVB is expected to meet transfer needs in DIMA and is superior to AFDX.

    Considering the decision-making for cooperation of fire attack and electronic warfare in multi-target attacking when the fighter is making ground penetrating, we proposed a decision-making method based on commanders'cognition. Firstly, the value of target is evaluated in aspects of campaign and tactics by commanders'cognition. Then, the effectiveness of fire attack and electronic warfare for target attacking is derived respectively by using the same method. Based on the target value and attack effectiveness obtained, an integrated operational effectiveness evaluation model is constructed, the integrated operational effectiveness and the cooperative attacking scheme are derived. Finally, the method is verified by simulation, and the result shows that it is effective for cooperative decision-making.

    The four-parameter model is often used in astronomical fixation,but the coordinate scale and change of the angle between the coordinate axis are not taken into consideration.Therefore,the four-parameter model is only a simplified model for coordinate transformation of astronomical fixation.In order to verify the applicability of the model,and improve the precision when dealing with the transition between the tangential coordinate and the CCD image coordinate,a six-parameter model was built up based on the four-parameter model.Contrastive analysis was made to the two models in the aspects of positioning accuracy and tilt angle compensation.The analysis result to data obtained from the experiments demonstrated that the two models have basically the same precision,thus the applicability of the four-parameter model was proved.

    To implement automatic angle tracking of moving targets automatically,a new multi-target angle tracking algorithm is proposed based on PASTd and Kalman filter.The improved PASTd algorithm is used to track the signal subspace.Different from other signal subspace tracking algorithms,this algorithm has faster convergence speed and less calculation cost owing to the orthogonal signal subspace.Then,the angles of multiple targets can be predicted by using Kalman filter,with the tracking process executed automatically.Different from other one-dimensional tracking algorithms,this algorithm can track the elevation and azimuth of multiple targets simultaneously.Simulation results show the validity of the new algorithm.

    An algorithm combining the information entropy and region growing method is put forward for the accurate segmentation of the IR small target image in background of fluctuation.First,the IR original image is filtered using the adaptive smooth filter after analyzing the image features,thus the Gaussian noise is restrained without destroying the strong edge of the target.Then,the image segmentation is implemented using the maximum entropy algorithm based on the Gray level-Gray absolute difference (G-G) histogram,by using the feature that the target edge is high in gray level and changes rapidly in its surrounding region.After the image segmentation,the seed points are selected according to the threshold obtained in the maximum entropy algorithm.And the region growing method is realized in the segmented images.Experiment results show the effectiveness of the methods given here in target-detection under background of fluctuation.

    In order to evaluate and test the performance of processing arithmetic in single photon laser ranging,an emulational platform that can simulate real target echo and background noise is of great value.The construction and basic working principle of single photon laser ranging technology are introduced,and analysis is made to the models of target echo and background noise.M sequence is a frequently used digital pseudo-random signal.Based on this,a random sequence with adjustable scale is created,which can act as model of noise.A sequential logic circuit that can generate echo and noise signals is designed on FPGA chip,which can simulate the changes of moving speed and noise intensity.An ideal result is obtained in experimental verification.

    In order to suppress the random drift and zero bias of the Hemispherical Resonator Gyro(HRG), and improve the azimuth self-alignment accuracy of the HRG inertial navigation platform, a four-position self-alignment method with drift compensation was designed for the HRG inertial navigation platform. An ARMA model of the HRG random drift was constructed for filtering the signal output from the gyro, thus to decrease the influence of the random drift and noise to the azimuth self-alignment accuracy. Experiments were made to the two-position and four-position schemes separately. The experiment result shows that, the alignment time of our four-position drift detecting scheme is equivalent to that of the traditional four-position scheme, but the accuracy of this scheme is 15. 78′, which is better than that of the traditional two/four-position scheme ignoring the gyroscope drift.

    Optical distortion is one of important error sources of Wide Field-of-View (WFOV) star sensor,which has a great effect on focal length calibration due to coupling between the errors.To solve the problem,we established a mathematical model to determine the coupling relationship between optical distortion and focal length based on pinhole model.The referring threshold βmax of guide star incident angle is deduced using least square method to calibrate focal length,which provides the theoretical reference for focal length calibration.Simulation results demonstrate that:compared with calibration accuracy in cases that partial or all the guide star incident angles are greater than βmax,the focal length calibration accuracy in case that all guide star incident angles are less than βmax is increased by five times and ten times respectively.The influence of optical distortion on focal length calibration is effectively reduced.

    The common search patterns for cooperative coverage search methods of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) under unknown environment are zigzag and spiral patterns. Considering the constraints of the UAV's turning radius, the zigzag pattern needs to make turning out of the search area, which can result in longer total path lengths, while the spiral pattern may result in large number of turns, especially near the center of the area. Focusing on the shortcomings of these two patterns, we derived an improved search pattern based on the guarantee of area coverage and dynamic constraints of UAVs. The moments and positions of each UAV's turning were adjusted according to the corresponding rules. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that, the improved method can not only work better than zigzag and spiral patterns, but also have good ability of formation reconstruction when partial sensors or UAVs are damaged.

    Sigma-Delta background estimate is an effective moving object detection algorithm, which is able to achieve a good detection effect with a smaller amount of calculation. However, the algorithm can't clear the target image in the initial background model for the reason that there is no background model initialization. To solve this problem, it is proposed to initialize the background model based on method of mean value, which can clear the target image and get a clean background model. In order to improve the adaptability, the algorithm adopts a way to update the background model based on the idea of random update of Visual Background extractor (ViBe). In the aspect of foreground detection, a new Sigma-Delta algorithm based on RGB color space is raised to reduce the noise and improve the quality of detection. The experimental result demonstrates that the improved algorithm can obtain a clean background model and is adaptable to complex scenes. The images detected by the algorithm have less noise points and better detection performance.
