When the total dose of irradiation reached the predetermined point, the change of photoelectric response capability of the sensor was measured quantitatively by an off line method. The experiment results show that as the total dose of irradiation increases, the photoelectric response capability decreases rapidly. When the total dose of irradiation reaches 60 krad(Si), the photoelectric response capability is reduced to 6%. The causes of decline of the photoelectric response capability were analyzed according to the components of the image-intensified sensor and empirical equations of the decline of the photoelectric response capability were also derived. The experiments demonstrate that the decline of the photoelectric response capability is compensated by improving the voltage gain of the image-intensified sensor. When the total dose of irradiation reaches 25 krad(Si), the photoelectric response capability still maintains 100% by improving the voltage gain of the image-intensified sensor of 0.23 V meanwhile maintaining a good weak-light-detecting ability. These findings show that the image-intensified sensor is able to withstand 25 krad(Si) of the total dose irradiation.
The Liquid Crystal Display(LCD) module in a high power TEA CO2 laser is easy to couple with electromagnetic interference, so as to affect the normal work of the laser. Therefore, this paper explores the prediction method of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)for the LCD module under transient irradiation in an electromagnetic field. The coupling mechanism of electromagnetic interference received by the LCD module integrated in the laser system was analyzed. On the basis of the coupling of field and line , the field line electromagnetic interference of the LCD module was analyzed and calculated by using the BLT equation in the Taylor form, then, the prediction results were verified by several experimentally. The experimental results show that the interference voltage produced by connect cables coupled with electromagnetic fields on the data lines of LCD display module is 1 V, and exceeds the noise margin of the circuit. So the EMC control measures must be taken to ensure the performance of the LCD module. Moreover, the verification experiments indicate that prediction results for the EMC has correctly reflected the actual EMC performance of LCD module. The method has a guiding significance for prediction and design of EMC of electrical equipment in high-power TEA CO2 lasers.

A no-common path calibration system was desighned for the Adaptive Optical (AO) system in a 1.23 m ground telescope. To solve some practical problems of no-common path static aberration calibration, the evaluation function for the multi-channel Phase Diversity (PD) processing method was presented for a condition of the defocusinng amount difficult to be measured. Then, a method to use the detected aberration and the modulated deformable mirror to iterate each other for convergence was proposed to make up the effect of nonideal measurement conditions on aberration detection. As compared with two-channel PD processing, the multi-channel PD processing method has stronger tolerance to the forms of target sources and higher accuracy of wavefront solution in theory . The processing method was used to measure the no-common path aberration of the AO system in the 1.23 m telescope.

When a surface-bonded Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor is used to measure the strain of a host material, it will effect the strain distribution of the host material. Therefore, this paper explores the relationship between optical fiber strain and host material strain. A theoretical model of strain transfer of the host material to the optical fiber was presented to modify the measured strain, and the interaction between FBG sensor and host material was considered. Finally, the theoretical predictions proposed in this paper were verified by Finite Element Analysis(FEA) and practical experiments. The results show that the error between FEA and theoretical solution is controlled within 5%, and that between theoretical solution and experimental data is controlled within 8%. These mean that the strain transfer mode satisfies the accuracy requirement of surface-bonded FBG sensors. Moreover, the effects of geometrical and material parameters on the average strain transfer rate and the strain transfer rate were analyzed. The obtained results indicate that the average strain transfer rate and the strain transfer rate increase with the Young's modulus of the host material. However, they decrease with increasing the top thickness and bottom thickness of an adhesive layer.

The diagnosis system was designed to provide measurements for scattering time, scattering spectrum, near-field imaging, and scattered energy and its whole sizes are 1.9 m×0.9 m×1.5 m. The full aperture backscatter system designed in this paper has potential applications to the new inertial confinement fusion facility.

In high speed free space optical communication systems, the efficiency that a laser beam is coupled into a single-mode fiber is an important factor. However, the laser propagation through atmospheric turbulence degrades the fiber coupling efficiency. According to the relation between turbulence intensity and optical system resolution, this paper explores the effect of atmospheric turbulence on fiber coupling efficiency, and derives the relationship of the receiving aperture, focal length, the wavelength of incident light, fiber radius and atmospheric coherence length with the single mode fiber coupling efficiency. Two methods were proposed to improve the fiber coupling efficiency in a turbulence environment. The first method is to maintain the coupling efficiency to be the maximum by adjusting the focal length of the coupling system when turbulence environment is deteriorated. The second one is to use a taper fiber in receiving end of the focal plane to improve the coupling efficiency. Finally, corresponding analysis, simulation and a coupling efficiency experiment at outdoor were performed, and it verifies the effectiveness of the improved method for fiber coupling efficiency.

According to the characteristics of datum axis measurement by using a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), a method based on 3D convex hulls was proposed to realize the datum plane fitting. Firstly, the 3D convex hulls of discrete sampling points were rapidly constructed by using "gift encapsulated algorithm" based on the computational geometric theory. According to the definition of datum axis in Datum Reference Frames (DRF), the constrained degrees of freedom as well as the method to establish the datum axis were determine by the priority of datum axis and the features of other datum. Then, the mathematical equation of datum axis was used to resolve the constrained axis into a rotational vector and a translational vector and then to establish mathematical models with constrained datum axis rotation and constrained datum axis translation. Finally, the variable domain of datum axis was obtained by using 3D convex hulls based on material requirements. The experiment demonstrate that the results of datum axis determined by proposed method is the same as that of the CMM least square method in an unconstrained axis processing, however, it has more different as copared with that in a constrained axis processing. Fortunately, the method ensures the relative position relationship between the constrained axes, and it accords with the principle of establishing datum axes and meets the requirements of engineering applications.

To overcome the linearizated errors from the attitude estimation algorithm based on Extended Kalman Filter ( EKF), a new attitude estimation algorithm based on gravity/magnetic assisted Euler angle Unscented Kalman Filter ( UKF)algorithm was proposed to improve the attitude measuring accuracy of a low cost Micro-electro-mechanic System(MEMS). The gravity and magnetic data were used to inhibit the rapid divergence of attitude error for the MEMS. The Euler angles were taken as UKF states and the quaternion was used to calculate the attitude in time update, so that the algorithm avoids the quaternion standardized problem and solves the low attitude accuracy of Euler angles. Without linearization errors of the UKF, it has better stability and attitude estimation accuracy. By taking measured MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU )data for experiments, the results show that the measuring accuracy of pitch and roll angles by proposed algorithm has improved nearly 20 percent respectively and the heading accuracy improved by 12.1 percent as compared with that of the attitude estimation algorithm based on the EKF. It concludes that the proposed method has better precision. However, the convergence time of UKF has increased due to the insufficient estimation for state variances.
The triethanolamine (TEA) with different concentrations was added to the slurry to lap of quartz crystal. By defining the ratio of Material Removal Rate(MRR) and Pad Wear Rate (PWR) as the wear ratio, the effects of TEA concentrations on the magnitude and stability of quartz crystal, MRR, PWR, wear ratio, Friction Coefficient (COF), Acoustic Emission (AE) and the surface quality of quartz crystal after lapping were investigated in fixed abrasive lapping process. The results show that with increasing additive amount of TEA in the slurry, the wear ratio increases first and then decreases, and the magnitude and stability of MRR for the quartz crystal have the same variation trend, too. Moreover, the COF decreases first and then increases and AE increases first and then decreases. The surface quality of quartz crystal after lapping gets first better then goes bad. When TEA concentration is 5%, the MRR of quartz crystal is the maximum and most stable, and the service life of FAP is the longest and surface quality is the best. Obtained results indicate that to add appropriate amount of TEA in the slurry will stabilize the lapping process of quartz crystal, prolong the service life of pad, enhance the surface quality of work pieces and reduce production costs in lapping process.

According to the direction cosine of the axis of workpiece, the amount of leveling was defined and calculated to overcome the problem brought by manual adjustment technology and the accurate leveling and high precise measurement were completed. As the assessment of cylindricity error is to search for a cylinder axis that statisfies the minimum condition and the Nelder-Mead simplex method has lower convergence precision and convergence rate because it depends on initial solution,so that a combined algorithm with quasi-Newton method and simplex algorithm was proposed to achieve the fast and accurate search for global optimums.The Matlab simulation and experimental testing on classical functions indicate that the combined algorithm improves the convergence rate and convergence precision effectively and the convergence rate has been increased over 50% and convergence precision increases over once as compared with that of Nelder-Mead simplex method, which ensures and improves the measuring precision of workpieces.
Three dimensional(3D) object recognition was researched under multi-view points. For the shortages of traditional signal feature description for 3D object recognition under multi-view points, a new recognition algorithm fusing multiple features was proposed. Firstly, the object corners were extracted by using the correlation matrixes of anisotropic Gaussian directional derivatives, the particular corners were selected by the skeleton constraint, and the normalized distance between particular corners and the object centroid was taken as the corner descriptor. Then, the geometric moment invariants, affine moment invariants, and the Fourier descriptor of object boundary were extracted, respectively , and the scatter matrixes within and between classes for the four features were calculated. By taking the trace of sample scatter matrix as the weight, the four features were fused. Furthermore, the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) was carried out on the fused vector to obtain independent features.

It meets the need of multi-rotor UAV autonomous flight and can be applied to other navigation information measuring systems with high dynamic performance requirements if the parameters are modified appropriately.
The face recognition based on 3D facial data overcomes the difficulties sensitive to illumination and pose variations in 2D face recognition systems. However, the high computational complexity restricts its practical applications. To simplify the description for 3D face data, a novel strategy to map 3D face data to 2D ones, called 2D intrinsic shape description map, was proposed in this paper. With the strategy, each 3D facial surface was firstly mapped homeomorphically onto a 2D lattice which keeps the local geometrical features based on the constraint discrete conformal. Then ,a 2D intrinsic shape description map was obtained by combining 3D facial geometrical structure and appearance feature for simplifying 3D face representation and for verifying the recognition. The proposed strategy was compared to state-of-the-art 3D face recognition algorithms in the FRGC 2.0 and GavabDB database. The results show that the proposed strategy offers the rank-one rate of 90.6% when the pose change is greater than 60°, higher 5.9% than that of the existing method. Moreover, the single matching time is 7.89 s. As the strategy transforms the 3D face recognition into the 2D image recognition, it effectively reduces the complexity of data description and shows higher computation efficiency and robustness to a pose change.
Traditional gradient based image sharpness evaluation functions are sensitive to noise, which is easy to introduce more non-edge information and shows poor stability in practical applications. This paper analyzes the effect of the defocus of an optical imaging system on image sharpness based on the defocused model and proposes a improved sharpness evaluation method. The method uses the maximum gradient as the criterion of image sharpness.Then,it introduces the optimal threshold to distinguish the edge points and non-edge points to reduce the impact of the gradient of flat area and the noise in the image on evaluation results and to suppress the noise interference. The simulation experiments and actual test are performed and obtained results are compared with that of different traditional methods. It is verified that the improved method has better sensitivity and noise immunity, which is able to evaluate the sharpness of defocused image accurately and is suitable for auto-focusing in actual optical imaging systems.
As the accuracy of moving object tracking in video surveillance is disturbed by occlusion, camera moving and target appearance changing, an algorithm based on piecewise fusion weight and multi-strategy was proposed. Firstly, the piecewise fusion weight was constructed by combining the feature of object, background and candidate regions to obtain the likelihood image of object location. Then, the likelihood image was segmented with the spatial coherent and hysteresis threshold to suppress noise interference. Meanwhile, the object occlusion was determined and handled by analyzing the change of the piecewise fusion weight and enlarging the candidate area. Furthermore, the object scale was adaptively adjusted according to history and current scales. Finally, object information and background regions were dynamically updated to adapt to the object appearance and scene changing. Experimental results compared with other traditional methods show that the proposed algorithm is applicable to process the moving object tracking in low-contrast scenes in real time, and the average processing time for different video images is 10 ms, which means that the algorithm is suitable for the moving object tracking in complex scenes.
To meet the requirements of some injection simulation platforms for reality, a real adaptive topography optimization algorithm based on Real Time Optimally Adapting Mesh(ROAM) algorithm was proposed. By taking the terrain generated by ROAM as a base grid, a new integrated parameter Y was proposed, and a given threshold was compared with the Y parameter to determine whether the local splitting was implemented or not. The sharp features of the terrain were extracted from a vertex that satisfy the splitting conditions, and the local curve surface was splitted by Loop algorithm. Finally, a video stream was generated by rotation mapping algorithm in real-time roaming process and it was sent to the injection simulation system to be displayed by a Digital Visual Interface(DVI) display. Experimental results show that the average of roaming frame rate of proposed algorithm is 45.1303 frame/s and the peak frame rate is close to 50 frame/s, higher than that of traditional algorithm . Moreover, the obtained terrain could display on the DVI display on the injection simulation platform with an average of roaming frame rate of 45 frame/s, which satisfies the requirements of the injection simulation systems for the reality.
A cumulonimbus detection approach was proposed based on Multi Fuzzy Support Vector Machine(FSVM) by using a decision fusion strategy to solve the contradiction that adding more features will increase the accuracy of cloud classification while cause over fitting phenomenon due to high feature dimensions. Firstly, spectral features, the brightness temperature difference of multi-channels, first order histogram texture features, gray level co-occurrence matrix texture features and Gabor wavelet features were extracted from training cloud images to form a training sample set which contains 5 kinds of features. Then, five FSVM sub-classifiers were trained respect to each kind of feature. Finally, the output of each sub-classifier was fused by weighted decision in the output space to improve the detection accuracy of the cumulonimbus. Experimental results show that the proposed approach solves the over fitting phenomenon in cumulonimbus detection caused by the too high feature dimensions and can determine the weight of different features adaptively. The results also demonstrate that the accuracy is not only superior to each FSVM sub-classifier but also to the FSVM classifier trained by all the input features at once. The proposed approach is expected to be applied in the analysis of satellite cloud images.
To improve the segmentation precision of brain Magnetic Resonance(MR) imaging, a novel brain tissue automated segmentation method was proposed. Firstly, the merits and demerits of Gaussian mixture model and active contour model used for MR image segmentation were analyzed, and a new energy function was constructed through combining the probability density function of the Gaussian mixture model with the energy function of the active contour model. Then, the genetic algorithm and expectation maximization algorithm were used to get the parameter values of the probability density function. Finally, segmentation results were achieved through minimizing the novel energy function by using the level set method and the gradient descent algorithm. The experiment results clearly indicate that the segmentation accuracies of white matter and gray matter in brain tissue by the proposed method are increased by 6.73% and 14.07%, respectively as compared with that of the traditional methods. By using the area information and probability values of pixel points to drive the active contour curve, the proposed method automatically segments the brain MR image with high enough accuracy and improves the segmentation accuracy of brain MR images.
