A new kind of polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber with two side-holes is designed. There is only a layer of small air holes between the core and the large air hole, and two large air holes are introduced in the cladding symmetrically. The two-dimensional model was simplified by the plane strain hypothesis, the two-dimensional model of this fiber was numerically analyzed by the finite element method, and the characteristics of temperature and hydrostatic pressure sensing were studied by calculating the birefringence-induced frequency shift at different temperatures and hydrostatic pressures. As the studies show, within a large range of hydrostatic pressure and temperature, this polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber can realize the hydrostatic pressure sensitivity of -2.135 3 GHz/MPa and it is insensitive to temperature without doping any stress material. Its temperature sensitivity is only +0.154 2 MHz/℃. In addition, the optical properties of the photonic crystal fiber were also analyzed. The proposed photonic crystal fiber satisfies the condition of single-mode transmission, has a small confinement loss and a large effective mode area. Due to its characteristics of small size, strong compatibility with other optical fibers, high hydrostatic pressure sensitivity and temperature insensitivity, it has obvious advantages in the accurate measurement of hydrostatic pressure in the environment with variable temperature and great hydrostatic pressure variation. Better optical properties make it has important reference value in monitoring application of oil well and civil engineering.

    Aiming at the problems of severe noise interference of fiber-optic vibration signals, single feature extraction and long recognition time, an improved local characteristic-scale decomposition and ant colony algorithm optimize deep belief network are proposed. Firstly, cubic B-spline function interpolation is used to fit the mean curve to improve the local characteristic-scale decomposition algorithm, and the sum of a series of intrinsic scale components is obtained by decomposing the original signal.

    A thin-cladding Excessively Tilted Fiber Gratings (ExTFG) cantilever beam vibration sensor is reported in this paper. Using the ExTFG written in the standard single-mode fiber, the effects of the decrease of the fiber cladding radius on the dispersion factor of the waveguide, the effective refractive index of the cladding mode, the axial strain sensitivity factor, the axial strain sensitivity and the mode order are theoretically analyzed, and the corresponding numerical simulations are performed, which provide the theoretical foundation for the enhancement method of vibration measuring sensitivity. And then, hydrofluoric acid is used to etch the fiber cladding to fabricate ExTFGs with different diameters and the related vibration sensing experiments are conducted. The results show that in the vibration frequency range of 40~200 Hz, with the decrease of cladding diameter, the acceleration sensitivity of ExTFG vibration sensor in C band of the same order and different order TE/TM mode increases gradually, and there is a good linear relationship between them. The maximum acceleration sensitivity of the TE and TM mode with the same-order cladding mode is 100.46 mV/g and 88.68 mV/g, respectively, which is increased by 1.36 times and 1.53 times, respectively, as compared with the standard diameter one. And the maximum acceleration sensitivity of those with different-order cladding modes can reach 159.35 mV/g and 133.37 mV/g, respectively, which is increased by 2.15 times and 2.31 times.

    Convolutional neural network-based semantic segmentation models do not effectively explore feature weight information, which will result in under-segmentation of segmentation boundaries in complex scenes of computed tomography images. To address this problem, an improved U-Net++ model is proposed to explore adaptive weighted aggregation strategy based on U-Net++, and the improved U-Net++ model is applied to the segmentation of lung nodules in computed tomography images. In the convolutional neural network phase, the information from the different levels of deep features is extracted and combined with the weighted aggregation module, and thus the weights of features in each layer are adaptively learned. Then the learned weights are loaded on each feature layer and obtained a sampled segmentation map, and the final segmentation result can be obtained. Segmentation experiments are carried out on the lung cancer data sets of LIDC and Chongqing University Cancer Hospital. The intersection over union of the proposed improved U-Net++ method on two datasets reach 80.59% and 87.40%, and the DICE of this method on two datasets could reach 88.23% and 90.83%, respectively. Compared with U-Net and U-Net++, the proposed algorithm significantly improves the segmentation performance of lung nodules in computed tomography images. The experimental results show that improved U-Net++ achieves accurate segmentation on tiny details of tumors, and it bring beneifits to solve the problem of under segmentation when lung nodules grow invasively to the surrounding.

    In view of the fact that the mountainous area is easy to accumulate clouds and haze, it brings difficulties to the interpretation of remote sensing images. In addition, the remote sensing image contains a large amount of information and the calculation rate is slow. In the process of dehazing, aiming at the problem of poor removal effect when the amount of haze is too much. A dehaze algorithm for optical remote sensing images that combines curvature filtering optimization and non-local dehaze method is proposed. First, curvature filter is used to reduce the total energy of the images, thereby reducing the memory occupied by the images and improving the calculation efficiency. Then the Hough transform voting mechanism is used to screen out the corresponding atmospheric light value, and the transmittance is estimated according to the atmospheric scattering model. Finally, the image reconstruction method is used to obtain the dehazed image. The experimental results show that the calculation rate of the proposed method is significantly faster than the method without Gaussian curvature filtering optimization. In terms of dehazing effect, the restored images are more detailed and clearer when the amount of haze is large, and the brightness is appropriate, which improves the effect of dehazing.

    Because the existing unsupervised band selection methods in hyperspectral image classification could not calculate the similarity between bands and the high-dimensional characteristics in the selection process, a greedy unsupervised hyperspectral band selection method based on variable precision rough set was proposed. Firstly, a new dependency measure was defined by using the variable precision rough set, which made it insensitive to the misclassification parameters of the variable precision rough set, so as to make full use of the similarity between wavebands. Secondly, a new criterion was proposed to find out the bands with higher and lower similarity values in the unselected and selected segment subsets. Then, the first order incremental search method was used to select the required information band one by one, so as to avoid the generation of a large amount of information and reduce the computational complexity. Finally, three hyperspectral datasets were used to compare the proposed band selection technique with the five latest techniques. The results show that the proposed method has good classification accuracy for all datasets, and the average classification accuracy is only 1.9%,3.1% and 4.1% lower than the average classification accuracy of all pixels under the condition of 50% marked pixels, which proves that the proposed method can guarantee good classification performance and generalization ability of data set, and has robustness to parameters.

    Non-linear partial volume effect is still an unsolved problem in the theory and application of computed tomography reconstruction. In this work, an optimization-based reconstruction algorithm for effectively solving this effect was studied and developed. The discrete non-linear X-ray projection transformation model was established, when the inverse problem of X-ray projection transformation was transformed into a non-convex optimization. A non-linear iterative reconstruction algorithm was formulated to solve the non-convex optimization problem by tailoring the first-order primal-dual algorithm developed originally for solving convex optimization problems. Using computer-simulation studies, the convergence and reconstruction accuracy of the algorithm was demonstrated in this investigation. Images reconstructed were examined first through visual inspection with extremely narrow display window for revealing a contrast level of less than 1%, and then assessed with quantitative metrics such as the normalized l2-norm of the difference relative to its truth images. The simulation results show that the non-linear reconstruction algorithm can converge to the real image within the range of calculation accuracy, and the reconstructed image can also be displayed for the details with image contrast less than 1%. This would provide a reference for the design of computed tomography imaging application algorithm which can effectively compensate the non-linear partial volume effect artifacts.

    In order to improve the accuracy of star centroid extraction of high dynamic star sensor, an on-orbit correction method based on adaptive filtering was proposed, which can adaptively adjust the correction matrix at different angular velocities. Correction matrix is updated in real time by the noise estimation filter which is proposed based on temporal-spatial correlation. And the star point can be corrected in real time. Compared with the traditional method which correct on the ground, it not only reduces the cost, but also updates the correction matrix in real time, so the correction is more reliable. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in correcting star sensor under high dynamic conditions. Compared with the existing on orbit correction methods which can only appicable to low-speed star tracker (≤0.1°/s), the proposed method can adapt to the angular velocity of 0~3°/s, accurately correct the high dynamic star sensor, and successfully improve the accuracy of star centroid, which is of great significance to improve the dynamic performance of star sensor.

    An approach for recognizing spatter dynamics and analyzing welding status based on spatter feature is proposed. A type 304 austenitic stainless steel plate is taken as a testing object for high-power disk laser bead-on-plate welding experiment. A high-speed camera is used to capture the ultraviolet band and visible light band spatter images. Image processing extracted spatter feature parameters, including centroid position, area, grayscale, average grayscale, and radius. Spatter searching information database and similarity functions are established based on spatter feature parameters to recognize the spatter, calculate spatter volume and grayscale, and evaluate the welding status. By comparing the weld seam width with the spatter feature information, the internal relation between the welding status and the spatter feature parameters is investigated. The test results of the relationship between spatter characteristics and welding state show that the weld width will decrease with the increase of spatter volume and gray value in the process of laser welding. It can be seen that the status of a high-power disk laser welding process could be monitored and evaluated through the spatter feature parameters.

    The plasma polishing and etching system independently developed by the laboratory was used to prepare sapphire self-organized nanostructures. The formation mechanism of self-organized nanostructures by Ar+ ion beam sputtering assisted with stainless steel at different incident energy was studied. The roughness, longitudinal height of nanostructure and surface morphology of the etched sapphire sample were respectively measured by Taylor Surf CCI2000 non-contact surface measuring instrument and atomic force microscope. With the ion beam incident angle of 65°, the beam current density of 487 μA/cm2, the etching time of 60 min, and the ion beam incident energy of 1 000 eV, well-ordered stripe-like nanostructures with a longitudinal height of 11.1 nm appear on the surface of the sapphire sample. As the incident energy increases, island-like nanostructures gradually appear on the surface of the substrate. When the incident energy is 1 200 eV, island-like structures and ripple generate on the substrate, with a longtidudinal height of 13.6 nm. With an increase of the incident energy, the density of island-like structures enhances. When the incident energy is 1 400 eV, the longitudinal height of island-like nanostructures is 18.8 nm.When the incident energy is 1 600 eV, the surface of the sapphire sample appears a relatively ordered island-like structure with a longitudinal height of 20.1 nm. During the ion beam sputtering process, with an increase of the incident energy, metal impurities break the balance between the surface growth mechanism and the surface smoothing mechanism, which form island-like nanostructures, these structures promote the growth of nanostructures and change the orderliness of nanostructures.

Under 10-1 lx illumination, the resolution of the third-generation image intensifier does not decrease after undertaking 675 nm short wave cut-off for A luminant, while the resolution of super second-generation image intensifier drops to 94% of the initial value; however, under 10-4 lx illumination, the resolution of the third-generation image intensifier decreases to 90% of the initial value after undertaking 675 nm short wave cut-off for the A luminant, while that of the super second-generation image intensifier decreases to 85%of the initial value. In addition, the resolution decreases with the decrease of illumination. For the super second-generation and third-generation image intensifiers, although the parameters are the same under the illumination of A luminant, but when used in different short wave cut-off wavelengths, the performance of the third-generation image intensifier is better. Although the decline proportion of parameters for super second-generation image intensifier is higher than that of third-generation image intensifier under different short wave cut-off wavelengths, the difference is not obvious, so the performance difference during use is not obvious.
