    In order to combine the advantages of global threshold with local threshold method, a double-threshold binarization method based on image enhancement was proposed. The two thresholds were calculated out by using OTSU and Kittler method, and preprocessing was made to the points with gray value greater than the upper threshold or less than the lower threshold. Sauvola method was used to judge the points with gray value between the two thresholds. Double-threshold remained more detailed information with less time cost, but still had the problem of uneven illumination. Therefore, a new image enhancement algorithm was proposed. The image was divided into four areas equally, and the differences of the average grey value of the whole image with that of each area were taken. Then by using the four weights related to pixel points'location, the corresponding gray value on each point was compensated. Image enhancement was made repeatedly until the average gray value of the four areas was controlled within a certain range. The binarization of uneven illumination image was improved greatly after this image enhancement.

    In order to improve the effect and speed of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) reconnaissance video registration, a fast registration method based on scene matching is proposed.Firstly, a feature matching algorithm based on AGAST-Difference and Fast Retina Keypoint (FREAK) is proposed to match the video frames.Then, the matching region search method is proposed to find the matching region for the target frame in the satellite digital map.Finally, the video frame is registered to matching regions, and the homography matrix is calculated out according to 2D relationship of the matching regions for implementing the splicing.The experimental results show that:1) The feature matching algorithm based on AGAST-Difference and FREAK has great advantages in scale, rotation, viewpoint and so on;and 2) The matching region search method can avoid the error caused by the Position and Orientation System (POS) and the introduction of control points, thus the correction accuracy and speed are improved.With the splicing speed up to 25 frames per second for videos of 810×612 resolution, the 2D localization accuracy of our algorithm for a ground target can reach 7.87 m when the UAV flies at about 1000 m above ground.

    In processing high-resolution remote sensing images, the SIFT algorithm has large calculation burden and great amount of time cost.To solve the problems, we made improvement to the SIFT algorithm on extreme point detecting and similarity measurement.Firstly, the improved algorithm uses the 14 points that are closer to the detecting point and have higher weight instead of the 26 points of the SIFT algorithm to detect the extreme points, which can reduce calculation amount for extreme point detection.Secondly, in the similarity measurement of SIFT feature vector matching, the linear combination of Manhattan distance with Chebyshev distance is used instead of Euclidean distance, which is more simple and can decrease the computation complexity and improve the efficiency of matching.Finally, simulation results prove the effectiveness of the algorithm by using the measured remote sensing data.

    Improvements are made to ViBe (Visual Background extractor) algorithm for enhancing its test effect and test speed.The algorithm utilizes several pixel values from consecutive frames to train and construct the final samples of background during initialization, thus to decrease the ghosts effects on precision in detecting an object and partially remove the noises on the edge of background objects.In the process of pixel matching, a classified threshold and a match threshold for scene complexity of the pixel are adjusted dynamically to adapt complicated background scenes and diminish the disturbances of incorrect foreground pixels.In order to reinforce the robustness of the improved algorithm, an adaptive time-subsampling factor is utilized to accelerate elimination of the ghost caused by the departure of background objects and recovery of the background samples.Experiments show that the algorithm presented here can remove the ghost and noises effectively and is appropriate for complicated background scenes detections.

    In target tracking system, the measurements from different sensors might arrive at the fusion center out of sequence because of the different communication delays, and thus result in the Out-of-Sequence Measurement (OOSM) problem.Usually there are multiple OOSMs in the actual working process of the system.Aiming at this problem, the common situation is classified, and Dl algorithm is proposed within the forward prediction filtering framework.The algorithm can update the state estimation and the covariance matrix on each moment of OOSM fusion period, and deal with multiple OOSMs with arbitrary steps of delay.In addition, the equivalent measurement information filter is deduced for single OOSM without requiring the inverse of the state transition matrix and the discrete model of process noise.Simulations verify the precision and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    A novel parallel graph-based image segmentation algorithm was constructed to segment high-resolution image precisely in real time.This algorithm adopts parallel structure and divides the image into multiple regions.Parallel processing can be made to the non-adjacent regions.This algorithm can be deployed easily on multi-core processors for multi-core parallel processing to shorten the runtime.In order to segment precisely and enhance the ability in clutter scenes, this algorithm combines the smooth regions directly by setting low weight threshold.Based on this method, the object regions can be segmented coherently. Experiments demonstrate that this algorithm can segment high-resolution images rapidly and precisely, has better performance than the traditional segmentation algorithms, and can achieve high level performance in segmenting images with complex background.

    A hybrid task scheduling method is presented, in which strict periodicity criteria is adopted to certain important or easy-to-schedule tasks, while the rest is scheduled based on the jitter minimization criteria to mitigate the variance of intervals between any two adjacent jobs of a given task. To develop this method, a measure for strict periodicity schedulability, and a feasible slot selection scheme for variable-length jobs are proposed. The min-plus algebra is used for making multiplication of weighted transferring matrix, thus to implement slot allocation with minimum jitter of current task. Case study shows that: Compared with the control groups only based on minimum jitter scheduling, our hybrid method can gain increased proportion of strictly periodic tasks and the scheduling scheme obtained has smaller jitter rate in the worst case.

    In order to detect the damage locations of the cantilever beam with multiple damages, modal analysis based on the large commercial finite element software ABAQUS and modal experiment test method were adopted by using modal strain energy method. The low-order modal strain energy before and after damage of a cantilever beam structure was obtained, and the strain energy difference was used as damage index to identify the damage. The simulation and experimental results showed that the modal strain energy can be used to locate the damages of the cantilever beam. Based on the validation of the effectiveness of the method, the influencing factors of the beam structure damage detection were analyzed, including the arrangement of measuring points, the number of sensors, the position of sensors and the number of modal order. The result demonstrated that: 1) The damage location of the beam with multiple damages can be detected by the first three order of modals, and the locating effect is the ideal when the distance between the measuring points is roughly equal to the width of the beam;and 2) The number of sensors has no obvious effect on the damage detection and localization.
