For the requirement of fast-response temperature of expendable ocean sensor, a new design scheme of optic fiber sensor was presented. Metal materials of different thermal expansion coefficients and the same tube structure with inner diameter d = 0.55 mm, length L = 9 mm were used for packaging FBG along the axis of a metal tube. And the temperature characteristics of the encapsulated Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) were experimentally studied. The theoretical calculation, simulation and the tests of the fast response properties were also described and analyzed in detail. The experimental results show that, the response time of the single-ended FBG packaged by a stainless tube is 47.1 ms, and the response time of the double-ended FBG packaged by a copper tube is 48.6 ms, which has increased by an order of magnitude than that of an ordinary optical fiber temperature sensor.
Establishing the model of FOG’s random drift and compensating in the filter is an effective method to improve the output precision of FOG. For traditional random drift of fiber optical gyroscope has some shortages like off-line, needing pre-process and the off-line models, which are usually not universal for environmental changing, a new modeling and filtering way is put forward. First, based on a large amount of measured data, the traditional off-line AR model is improved, and a new method to build the model of FOG’s random drift is studied. Then, the comparison is made between the traditional Kalman filter and H∞ filter in real time. The result demonstrates that improved AR model has much applicability and the performance of H∞ filter is better than Kalman filter. The minimum value of fitting accuracy is 91.6% and H∞ filter can improve the performance of filtering by almost 38.5% when analyzing ingle noise.
Acute cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of human health. Intravascular Photoacoustic (IVPA) imaging modality, which combines photoacoustic imaging and medical endoscopic technique, is expected to provide more reliable information about the vessel and plaques for the detection of vulnerable plaques and the interventional treatment of cardiac diseases. Till now, the study of the IVPA imaging has been still in its beginning stages. The study of the IVPA image reconstruction also mainly learns from the reconstruction algorithms of other mature imaging techniques. Based on the introduction of the IVPA imaging principle, two problems to be solved in IVPA image reconstruction are pointed out and some main reconstruction algorithms that can be applied to the IVPA image reconstruction are introduced and analyzed.
A method for endoscopic ultrasonic phased array imaging was proposed based on high-precision digital beamforming. Based on conventional digital beamforming, a new digital beamformer with A/D converter of high sampling rate was designed. Compared with the conventional digital beamformer, the delay precision of the new digital beamformer is upgraded to 1.4 ns from 8 ns. In this paper, we used the new digital beamformer to synthesize the ultrasonic signals received by the array elements. Then we utilized the digital quadrature demodulation circuit to realize envelope extraction of the synthetic ultrasonic signal. Finally, using iron wires in water tank as experimental sample, the experiment results show that using the digital beamforming technology, the peak sidelobe is effectively suppressed, and the lateral resolution and SNR are improved by 25% and 3.7 dB respectively.
Deep learning has been a hot spot in the area of machine learning, of which the convolutional neural network is an important component. Based on the deep convolutional neural network and the edge features of characters extracted by auto-encoder, a convolutional neural network of multi-input layers was proposed, which input layers consisted of multi-input with gradient of various directions. In the experiments of handwritten numbers recognition and pedestrian detection, the multi-input network has higher recognition rate compared with the traditional network structure, especially when the number of training time is fewer. This result also provides a proof that multi-input convolutional neural network performed better with appropriate preprocessing.

A field calibration for laser scanning probe is put forward. Based on the model of camera calibration, the mathematical model of the laser plane is built. In order to get the more accuracy feature points, a new method using two alternate laser stripes which are not parallel to project on the chessboard is designed. The target is put in several different positions within the field of the camera vision aiming to get more feature points. All these feature points are fitted to an ideal plane after coordinate transformation. And the equation of the laser plane is obtained in camera coordinate. Experimental results indicate that the mean calibration error is less than 0.028mm. Using CMM to test the distance precision of the laser plane, the results show that the max distance error is 0.031mm. Experimental results indicate that the calibration technique has high accuracy and this method is suitable for field calibration.

Noise sources of white-light interference system and their influence on the interferograms are introduced. The noise in white-light interferometer is complicated because it contains both the temporal and spatial component, which will seriously affect the quality of interferograms and as a result, and reduce the measurement accuracy. Traditional denoising methods based on single component processing are unable to completely remove the noise and cause the distortion of interferometric data. Using the three-dimensional noise model, three-dimensional characteristic of noise in white-light interference system is analyzed. Experiments show that the three-dimensional denoising method can move the temporal and spatial component of noise without causing the distortion of original data. In order to solve the problem of serious time consumption from three-dimensional denoising and reconstruction, corresponding parallel algorithm based on Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) is designed, which can easily realize the real-time reconstruction.

The relative error of this method can be reduced to 0.5%. The new method can effectively improve the accuracy of image motion compensation.
The gravity deformation of the lenses is controlled by force mounting in their under surface margin. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method is used to analyze the relationship between the lens surface’s non-spherical deformation and the compensating force. The deformation data are fitted to Zernike coefficients. Compared with the wavefront of projection optics before and after compensation, the influence of gravity deformation can be evaluated. The results show that the max non-spherical deformation RMS is decreased from 50.877 nm to 26.675 nm because of compensating force. However, the max wavefront error-root mean square value of projection optics is increased from 0.041λ to 0.055λ. Although the gravity deformation can be controlled by the compensating force efficiently, the wavefront aberration of projection optics is increased. The gravity deformation cooperation of the lenses should be considered so as to achieve better wavefront.
