The stability of feature vectors based on SVD decomposition is very low because the target's size, and direction have been changed. Based on scale SVD transform, a target feature extracting method is proposed to solve this difficult problem. The experimental result shows that this method has favorable stability to target matrix's SVD feature vectors, and high invariant property to displacement, rotation and scale. It is a practical feature extracting method.

The latter will be the development trend in the future, and can be achieved in three ways: resistor array, laser diode, and thermal converter. It is suggested that both optic-mechanical system and computer scene generation system should be used in our Electro-optical simulation test facilities.

Projective invariants are independent of viewpoints, intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters and common used in computer vision gradually. The stability of the projective invariants is very important for the construction of the model library. It is related to the quality of the images, the precision of the feature extractor and the numerical computation. In this paper, cross ratios of the four collinear points and five coplanar points were analyzed first, then some affecting factors were concluded, and some constraints were proposed on constructing model-based object recognition system. The experiments show that the stability of the projective invariants designed under these constrains is improved highly.

The theoretical analysis and experimental verification of the principle of re-entrant IOG were carried out here. The experimental setup for analog simulation was established with Sagnac Sensing Ring (SSR) length of 20m. Based on the analysis of open loop output signal of the system, the signal of re-entrant part was verified. In order to get the high order re-entrant signal, a new modulation method using square waveform which duty ratio is not equal to 0.5 was suggested, in which the corressponding order of re-entrant signal was biased at maximum sensitivity. It provides a way to solve the problems in signal readout from ARE-IOG and PRE-IOG.

As the application of optical fiber is boasting, higher quality optical fibers are required in some application fields. Some pinhole defects such as air bubbles, caused during the manufacture of optical fiber, may have severe (or fatal) impacts on precision instruments because of affecting the optical fiber's toughness and signal propagating along the fiber. Therefore, it is very important to detecting the defects in optical fiber using an effective, non-touched, on-line and fast method. A hybrid opto-electronic joint transform correlator (JTC) is competent to do it. The key using the JTC is how to improve discrimination of the detection system. In this paper, through investigating the characteristics of digital joint power spectrum of optical fiber, two data processing methods to improve discrimination of the system are proposed, which are reducing joint-power-spectrum DC item method and binarizing joint power spectrum method. The experimental results show that both methods can greatly increase SNR and reduce the intensity of central peak of the correlation output,and largely improve discrimination probability of the detection system.

Speckle noise on synthetic aperture radar image is inevitable. Understanding the SAR image becomes very hard because of the existence of speckle noise, and thus the application of SAR image is influenced severely. There are many methods to restrain the speckle noise in image domain. In frequency domain, there are methods based on FFT transform and WT transform.

The image processing results show that this method restrains the noise effectively, and the edge information of the image is also retained well.
