Current radar net coverage calculation has such deficiencies as huge calculation amount, low velocity and low precision.To solve the problems, the radar models of vertical coverage of three frequency bands are built, and the planar coverage model in geodetic coordinates is built by using the longitude incision method.The detection area of the radar net is incised into a couple of strips with the same longitudinal intervals so that a strip-shaped radar net is formed.The planar coverage of each radar in the net is projected onto the strip-shaped radar net.The strip-shaped model of radar net coverage is built, and an incision algorithm is given.A simulation was carried out on the radar net composed of 30 radars.The result shows that the proposed method reduces the two-dimension calculation amount to one dimension, which lowers the calculation amount, improves the velocity, solves the complex problem of masking boundary, acquires a more accurate spherical area, and solves the problem of the calculation of radar net coverage.

    There are two modes for air-to-air missile's all-aspect attack: target-certered all-aspect attack and all-aspect attack of the launch platform. The relationship between the two modes are studied from five aspects of concept, representation of attack envelope, calculation of typical attack ranges, display in cockpit, and key technical problems. It is concluded that: 1) The target-certered all-aspect attack pays more attention on the relation of the missile with the target and is the beginning of attacking, while the all-aspect attack of the launch platform pays more attention on the relation of the launch platform with the target and is the ending of attacking; and 2) The target-certered all-aspect attack is the basis for studying the all-aspect attack of the launch platform, but the methods and contents of study are quite different due to the different tools used.

    To guarantee the navigation accuracy of integrated MIMUs/GPS during the period of loss of GPS signal, the Adaboost optimized BP neural networks are introduced in the normal Kalman filter.When GPS signal is unavailable, the trained neural networks are adopted to predict the velocity difference & position difference between outputs of GPS & MIMUs at the same moments, which then will be transmitted into the observer of Kalman filter.Specifically, by improving the navigation strategy on the systematic level, the error of navigation parameters accumulated from MIMUs under single mode is corrected.Simulation results indicate that: 1) When losing the GPS signal, the Adaboost optimized BP neural network can help the filter for information processing and compensate for the lost information in 50 s; and 2) Compared with only applying the normal BP or RBF neural networks, better stability and precision of navigation parameter prediction are obtained.

    In the infrared target detection methods based on temperature difference, the final target detection result is greatly influenced by the segmentation effect of the infrared image.As to infrared images with certain detection distance, the traditional segmentation method is not fit for the segmentation of the target edge.To solve the problem, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to extract image features.A spectral-clustering infrared image segmentation method based on CNN is proposed.Experimental results show that this method can improve the segmentation accuracy of infrared images.Compared with that of the traditional image segmentation method based on sparse matrix and spectral clustering, the clustering speed of the CNN-based spectral-clustering infrared image segmentation method is increased by about 16 times.Under certain detection distance, the improved spectral-clustering infrared image segmentation method can acquire more accurate results of the temperature difference between the target and the background.

    For textureless objects with smooth surfaces in vision tasks, conventional three-dimensional reconstruction methods cannot retrieve the valid shape information of surfaces due to the loss of structure-texture features and the high reflectance.This paper presents a 3D reconstruction algorithm for textureless objects based on optical polarization imaging, which does not rely on the structure-texture features of objects.Stokes vector is calculated to quantify the polarization states of the surface reflected light.Then, based on the analysis of polarimetric-geometric space, the normal distribution of surface is effectively estimated.Finally, the multi-scale Shapelets blank operator is applied to integrate the normal vector to derive the accurate depth information of the objects.Experiments show that the proposed method can obtain the correct 3D shape reconstruction results, especially for high-reflective objects with less texture features.Meanwhile, the proposed technique can suppress the specular highlight and noise, with high computational efficiency.

    The single photon counting technique is an effective method for detecting weak optical signals by using a photomultiplier tube, which is widely used in lidar detection in the area of aviation.Considering that lidar echo signals have such characteristics as weak strength, large data volume and high real-time requirements, we designed a high-speed data acquisition system based on the FPGA chip.The system accurately detects the weak lidar echo signal by using the photomultiplier tube, and the counting collection without time intervals is realized through the ping-pong operation by using two photon counters.Storage controllers and transmission controllers are used to control the peripheral chips.In this way, the real-time caching and high-speed transmission of the acquired data are realized.In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, it was applied to the mie-scattering micro-pluse lidar and realized an effective detection of 7.5 km with a detection accuracy of 7.5 m.On this basis, a comparison was made to the measurement results of the acquisition system and the EASY-MCS photon counter.The mean square error was 8%.It indicates that the proposed system has high accuracy and stability, and can meet the requirements of weak echo signal acquisition of the lidar, which will have broad application prospects in the field of aviation meteorological detection.

    A piecewise compensation scheme is proposed to solve the problem that the digital closed-loop fiber-optical gyroscope is sensitive to changes of ambient temperature in its working process, which may lead to temperature drift.By analyzing the causes of temperature drift, a multi-model fitting method is introduced based on a new segmentation strategy and the traditional single-model fitting method.In this method, the full-range test data is divided into several data areas, and the parameters in each interval are estimated through multiple linear regression.In its realization process, the microcontroller collects the temperature signals in the center of the fiber-optical ring in every second, which are used for data processing.The compensation amount is calculated by using the model parameters from corresponding segments.The FPGA reads the compensation data for temperature compensation.Experimental results show that this scheme has better compensation effects than that of the method of single model fitting,and the full temperature error of the compensated gyro is reduced by an order of magnitude, compared with that of the uncompensated gyro.

Firstly, the movements of the robot are analyzed and divided into two types of the sliding gait and the rotational gait.Secondly, the single-step motion of the robot is regarded as the coupling of the sliding and rotational motion according to its mechanical structure.Then, in view of the single-step motion, a kinematic model of the robot is established, which includes a position dynamics model based on Cartesian coordinates system and a kinetic model based on the coupling of the rotation angle and the sliding displacement. Finally, in order to accomplish the robot's tracking movement on the outer surface of the aircraft, a sliding mode controller based on RBF adaptive compensation is designed.By using Lyapunov stability theory, the convergence of the tracking error is proved.Simulation results have verified that the aircraft skin inspection robot can realize the asymptotic tracking of the desired trajectory, and has a satisfying control performance.

    A method for the simultaneous estimation of the range and velocity of moving targets based on the single dechirped wideband echo is researched.After accurate analysis and derivation, it is indicated that the dechirped wideband echo of a moving target is a kind of LFM signal, whose parameters contain the range and velocity information of the target.Based on this, a method for the parameter estimation of LFM signals based on FRFT is proposed to accurately estimate the range and velocity of the target by using the single wideband echo.This method can not only realize the simultaneous estimation of the range and velocity of a single target or multiple targets, but also double the PRF of the wideband system compared with the working mode switching between wideband and narrowband.This is very beneficial for wideband imaging and target identification.Simulation results indicate that the proposed method not only has low computational complexity and high estimation accuracy of the range and velocity, but also can adapt to situations of different duration and widebands of the signal and different SNRs.It is an adaptable and robust method.

    To solve the problem that uncertainties exsiting in the performance degradation data and failure threshold are always ignored in current methods, a new method of reliability analysis of performance degradation products based on blind number and GM(1, 1) model is proposed. Firstly, the blind number of degradation data and failure threshold is defined.The method of gray number ranking is used to optimize the confidence level of the blind number. The degree of reliability at the time of the measurement is calculated through blind number operation. Then, the parameter estimation of three-parameter Weibull distribution is carried out by using the GM(1, 1) modeling method, and the function of reliability degree is obtained. Finally, a case study on the degradation data of GaAs laser is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.The results illustrate the rationality, validity and high fitting precision of the proposed method, which can be used in engineering applications.
