    The technology of 3D reconstruction based on stereovision is researched by using computer vision theory. In the early time, 3D reconstruction was limited by the level of theoretical research, the modeling process required special equipment such as vision coordinate measuring machine to achieve and the movement of camera is severely restricted. The 3D reconstruction is performed on non- specific model by ordinary digital camera in the non-specific circumstances. The system is practical and simple and can accurately restore the three-dimensional information such as the location or geometric of the object, which cannot provide by two-dimensional image detection method.

    The vast majority of cases in optical surface testing,the output surface of measured optical surface or optical system always tends to be smooth and continuous, such wavefront functions must can be expressed as a complete the linear combination of the basement function. Zernike polynomials are often used as basic set of polynomials for the fitting of measured discrete data. The wavefront and curved surface are interpreted in the form of linear combinations of Zernike polynomial. The effects of fitting precision owing to Zernike polynomials order and sampling points are studied. The result is obtained that higher order Zernike polynomial fitting wavefront is not better,if order more than a certain range,fitting results will appear sick. Therefore, the wavefront fitting should choose appropriate order of Zernike polynomial. When the polynomial order is selected, more sampling points will help improve fitting accuracy. However,the number of sampling points is not a prerequisite for improving the fitting precision.

    Using optical window cat-eye effect, the laser active detection is easily influenced by laser wavelength. A chromatic aberration theoretical model of the transmission-type cat-eye effect is established. The detecting laser wavelength doesn’t match with the operating band of transmission-type cat-eye system, which generates the chromatic aberration, so the influence of chromatic aberration on laser active detection is analyzed. An experiment is designed to validate the theoretical analysis results. The results indicate that the generated chromatic aberration results in the focus shift, the echo divergence angle is obviously increased and the received echo power is decreased. The conclusion is that the detecting laser wavelength should match with the operating band of the transmission-type cat-eye system.

    For the influence of environment effects on infrared search and track (IRST) system, the traditional operating range equation is changed in expression after analyses the parameters which relate to the environment. In the new operating range equation, the noise equivalent power (NEP) measures all noise power including environment noise. Based on the statistic characteristics of the signal and noise in digital image, the NEP can be calculated by the detector’s sensitivity. As a result, the operating rang of infrared system can be calculated in different applications. By analyzing the experiment, the conclusion is that comparing with traditional operating range equation, the results of improved operating range equation are more closer to the actual operating range.

    Type II superlattce (T2SL) photodetectors, which is composed of III-V semiconductor materials InAs/GaSb or InAs/Ga1-xInxSb, have experienced significant improvements in both theoretical structure design and experimental device realization in the past few years. The bandgap engineering and band structure engineering provides T2SL with some advantages over mercury cadmium telluride materials, particularly for very narrow band gaps. These inherent properties, such as a higher effective electron mass and large separation of the heavy and light-hole bands to suppress Auger recombination, make them an attractive material for very long wavelength infrared (VLWIR) detectors. By summarizing and analyzing of related papers published in recent years, an overview on issues in the development of T2SL/VLWIR detectors is provided, such as basic concepts, structure, performance optimization, numerical modeling, electronic properties and etc.

    The band-gap of one-dimensional complex-periodic holographic photonic crystals is calculated by using transfer matrix method. Aiming at the dichromate gelatin recording medium, band-gaps are found in this refractive medium structure, and the effects of the refractive index, refractive index modulation and thickness of the medium on the photonic gaps are discussed. When the light is shining, using calculating to find that the refractive index and refractive index modulation changes does not affect the position of the band-gap, the width of the band-gap decreases with the increase of the refractive index of the recording medium, and increases with the increase of the refractive index modulation. To get a good band-gap, the thickness of the recording medium is at least 8 μm.

    In order to get the most mosaic effect, the transformation matrix between adjacent images be studied for solving the problem, a robust image mosaic algorithm is presented. In this algorithm, SIFT is used to extract feature points. Then, a pseudo-matching set is obtained by comparing local neighborhoods of features through intensity cross correlation method and these pseudo matches are divided into inliers and outliers using robust error threshold set to false matches. In the inliers, the use of the smallest squares optimization algorithm to accurately estimate the point transformation matrix between the two images. In the end, the image color of the overlapping band is smoothed with bilinear interpolation technique. The whole algorithm filters the noisy or wrong input data iteratively, estimates the model parameters through pure data, so it has strong error-tolerant capacity for the image noise and inaccuracy of feature extraction. When estimating the model parameters, the energy function is constructed based on the position errors of features instead of the features’intensity errors, which conquers the original methods’shortcoming of sensitivity to illuminating conditions and makes this algorithm more practical. Experimental results show that the image mosaic effect is wonderful and the algorithm is stable very much. It is high valuable in practice.
