These results are coincident with the theoretical results wel1,which verifies the feasibility of method that spectropolarimeter can be realized based on the intensity modulation.
In order to overcome non-uniformity defects arisen from image vignetting captured by a camera in the dot-to-dot correction of a LED display panel, a correction method based on an image smoothing filter algorithm was proposed from the gray distribution rule of vignetting images. Firstly,the imaging principle of CCD on the optical data acquisition in the LED display panel was discussed.

As the manual centering of laser particle size analyzers is slow operation and difficult to be adjusted, this paper presents an automatic centering method for the 50-channel photo detector based on a four-quadrant detection unit. According to the different positions of the detectors, the process of automatic centering was divided into pre-centering and acute-centering. When the laser beam was out of the sensing range of the detector, the system carried out a pre-centering based on the special structure of the detector; When the laser beam could be sensed by the detector, the system undertook the acute-centering according to the photocurrent intensity from the detector to determine its motion direction. After transition from a pre-centering into the acute-centering, the variable step was used to obtain the best cut-off condition of the automatic centering system by comparing the centering accuracy and centering time. Furthermore, the designs of software and hardware of the laser size analyzer were completed and the reliability and accuracy of the system were verified. The results show that its resolution is higher than 5 μm. Finally, the method was used to test standard particles, and the data after automatic centering meet the requirements of calibration specification for static light scattering particle size analyzers.

To improve the roborant capacity and the resolution of a micromechanical accelerometer, the nonlinearity of the system was studied. The mathematic model of the system was discussed and the variable electrostatic stiffness brought by the nonlinearity of a electrostatic torque was analyzed. Analytical results show that the preload voltage is used to be less than 0.707 time of crippling load voltage so as to make total stiffness greater than zero, which will cause a poor resolution when the input is near 0g. In view of the nonlinear effect, an adaptive adjustment method in which the total stiffness was kept a constant and the preload voltage and the feedback voltage were renewed every sampling cycle was proposed to improve the stability and resolution of the system. Finally, a digital micro accelerometer based on DSP was developed,then it was tested by using the adaptive adjustment method.

To quantitatively measure the number of magnetic beads and their binding biomolecules by a Giant Magnet Resistance(GMR) biosensor, the influences of the orientation of external magnetic field, the positions and the aggregation of magnetic beads on the biosensor signals should be considered. In this paper, the influences of three kinds of factors are simulated using Comsol software and the simulated results show that the signal amplitudes of the biosensor would be reduced by the tilt of external field, the deviation of bead position from the central area of sensor strips, and the aggregation of beads, especial the tilt of external field. When the tilt is 0.5°, the signal will decrease by 80%. Comparing with the simulated results, a GMR biosensor with the width of 5 μm is fabricated. The dependence of signal outputs on the coverage of magnetic beads is measured and results indicate that it is a linear relation with some deviations. Furthermore, the experimental result is 63 μV when the coverage of magnetic beads is 23.6%, which is smaller than the simulated result in 247 μV. Obtained results prove that both kinds of deviations are owing to the three factors. To measure the magnetic beads quantitatively, it suggests that the measuring conditions should be as fellows: making the external magnetic field perpendicular to the sensor plane; keeping the tilt angle unchanged during the measuring process; putting the magnetic beads to concentrate at the central area of the sensor strips; and avoiding the magnetic bead aggregation.
In order to detect the surface defect on the solder of a Flexible Printed Circuit(FPC), an inspecting technology based on image processing was presented. Firstly, all the defects on the FPC were classified into several defection sorts according to their defection characters. Then, the maximum entropy was used to locate the solder and extract the square and color characters. After estimating the effectness of the Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix(GLCM) on the quantification for color and structure characters, it was introduced to quantify and extract colorific and structural textures for solders. An analysis on experiments indicates that the defective solder is obviously different from the non-defective solder in several kinds of quantified charaters. On the basis of the result obove,the BP neural network was established and four kinds of characters were selected as the input of neural network. After all neural network weight parameters were adjusted to the optimization through sample training, the performance of the proposed defect detection algorithm was finally evaluated in an on-line testing. Test shows that 50 inspecting targets cost 300 ms, and the inspecting accuracy can reach 94.6%. The experimental result demonstrates that proposed method can detect accurately the solder defect with low false alarms, and the efficiency can satisfy the requirement of defect inspection in online and real time.

To verify the feasibility of an ambiguity resolution method for Beidou bi-satellite orientation by extending baseline, an experimental platform was established by using a Beidou carrier phase receiver with two-antennas. A physical experiment scheme was proposed for the extending baseline, which was realized by determining different positions of several antennae with different baseline lengths in the same direction in advance. The results show that it is feasible to determine the ambiguity of a Beidou single difference carrier phase by extending baseline, and the success rate can reach 100% without cycle slips during extending baseline. Moreover, some deterministic factors such as baseline length, orientation duration, and baseline direction on Beidou orientation were verified by the way. It suggests that the baseline length and orientation duration should be prolonged, and the baseline direction should be as near south-north as possible in order to improve the orientation precision. The research work will greatly improve the practical engineering application of Beidou orientation technology.
The best model to describe the asymmetrical distribution of noise correlation was explored to improve the accuracy of identifying digital image authenticity by noise correlation.By theoretical analysis and experiments,it was indicated that the beta distribution, gamma distribution and the logarithmic normal distribution could be used to describe the asymmetrical distribution of noise correlation within (0,1] . Then, three kinds of probability density functions were used to simulate the probability density function curves of the actual asymmetrical distribution of noise correlation. On the basis of the curve modality of probability density function and the value of the least false rate,it was explained that using logarithmic normal distribution to describe the asymmetrical distribution of noise correlation could obtain the best result. Thus a model by using the logarithmic normal distribution to describe the asymmetrical distribution of noise correlation was proposed. Experiment results show that this model can reduce the least false rate over 60% as compare with the model of using generalized chi square distribution, which proves that using a correct model to describe the asymmetrical distribution of noise correlation is an effective approach to reduce the false rate.

To solve the problem that a single optimal target anycast mode tends to cause new load imbalance, a Measuring & Controlling Network Platform(MCNP) based on the Session Initiation Protocol(SIP) was established and its anycast mechanism was analyzed. By integrating network-layer anycast and application-layer anycast, an load-balancing method based on an optimal decision set was introduced.The anycast objective is a set,which includes many servers to avoid server resources to be seized confusedly. To obtain an optimal decision set, a mathematical model of optimal decision set anycast was established,and the evidence theory was used to anycast the weight. An experimental platform was built to simulate and verify this new method in OPNET simulation environment. The results show that the imbalance rate of server resource occupancy by using the optimal decision setanycast mode has reduced by 31% as compared with that by using a single optimal target anycast mode, which brings an equal distribution of load to different servers and reduces the extra resources for tackling multi-processing in a single individual server.
A fast motion estimation algorithm used in H.264,UMhexagonS, is optimized to improve the efficiency of video compression. Firstly, a stop-search technique is used to judge whether the motion estimation of current macro block should be stopped after the initial search point is predicted. Then,the original algorithm is improved in two respects for macro blocks which need further motion estimation. One improvement is that fewer search points are used in motion estimation by the proposed partition method when multi-hexagon-grid pattern or cross pattern are adopted, and the other improvement is that the search points of square search pattern and extended-hexagon search pattern are reduced according to statistical characteristics of motion vectors. Moreover, the rationality of the partition method is proved. Experimental results show that the average time of motion estimation is reduced by 15.59% compared with that of the original algorithm, whereas, the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and bit rate remain almost unchanged. The proposed algorithm improves the coding performance and is suitable for various types of video sequences.

Firstly, the conventional Circular Prediction Mapping/Non-contractive Interframe Mapping(CPM/NCIM) method was improved,in which frame I of the video sequences was coded based on Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT) and the others were partitioned into subblocks by a tree structured partition method . In the stereo video encoding, the left channel was a base layer and the right channel was a enhanced layer. The left channel was encoded by using the Motion Compensation Prediction(MCP) method,and the right channel was encoded by using both MCP and Disparity Compensation Prediction(DCP) methods.

Therefore, a fast DCP encoding method was presented. The experiment results indicate that the computational complexity by the proposed method has reduced to 0.028-0.029 times comparing to that of the full search method while the reconstructed image quality is as good as that in the full search,which makes the stereo video encoding method more useful.
