The pulsed LD rangefinder has many characteristics, such as simple construction, small size, light weight and so on. It has some advantages in applications of short and middle range measurement. At present, the maximum measurement range is about 1 km, and the minimum resolution is about several centimeters. The research on pulsed LD rangefinder started in 1960's and in the middle of 1980's a series of key techniques had been solved. In the midde of \{1990's\} some kinds of product had been developed. It can be expected that in near future the number of the product will increase rapidly in very wide areas. In this paper, the development and application of pulsed LD rangefinder around the world are presented, and several typical applications are demonstrated.

The traditional digital counting method for time-interval measurement in pulsed laser ranging can't achieve high precision, for it's restricted by the frequency of counting clock. Analog interpolation time-interval measurement has advantages of long measurement range, good linearity and high precision, so it is widely applied for time-interval measurement in pulsed laser ranging. The principle of time-interval measurement by analog interpolation in pulsed laser ranging is introduced. The corresponding time-interval measurement system is designed and studied in experiments. The precision of time-interval measurement reaches up to 100 ps, which corresponds to distance measurement precision at 1.5 cm. In the end, the error of analog interpolation time-interval measurement is analyzed theoretically.

The method of simulated test of pulse laser rangefinder uses LED (or LD) to simulate object to test pulse laser rangefinder (or ranging equipment). The test system receives a laser beam generated by rangefinder and starts a precision time delay. Then it feeds back an (one to three) "object pulses" to the rangefinder tested and begins another time delay (twice) at the moment of the timing ends. Whether the rangefinder works normally by observing the display of the rangefinder and the laser energy the rangefinder emitted at the same time is measured. By this method, the online test of the pulse laser rangefinder becomes possible.

It's important to study on suppressing speckle algorithms for this system. In the paper, three common algorithms——median filtering, homomorphic mean filtering, and Lee filtering were introduced and used in suppressing speckle in coherent pulse CO2 laser imaging system. Then these algorithms were compared. The results show that non-iterative Lee filtering with small windows is better. The speckle noises are suppressed clearly, and image edges are maintained.

It is an important task to detect and track the lowly observable and small targets in a sequence of infrared images against cloudy background. A simple and practical scheme about dim small target detection in cloudy background is given. In this scheme, the first step is to suppress the background clutter to obtain the higher SNR of the images. The second step is to segment the image using a threshold to get a binary image. According to the movement continuity of targets in temporal and spatial domain, these targets are identified by a pipeline method. The experimental results prove that the algorithm is very effective.

The small target detection in infrared imagery with complex background of sea and sky is studied. Taking into account that small target of infrared image guidance like naval vessel is always nearby the sea-sky-line, wavelet multiresolution edge detection algorithm is adopted to detect the sea-sky-line. The potential target area can be decided subsequently, then the target is found by careful search in this area. Therefore, a new algorithm for small target detection from coarse scale to elaborate scale is proposed. Experimental results indicate that the method can detect and locate small targets precisely in infrared image obtained in conventional noise conditions. The correct detection ratio of single image is more than 96%, and this method has high detection ratio from a single image and high speed.

A mathematical model to detect the moving targets by the discontinuous frame difference vector's infinite norm is proposed. Then the parallel processing construction system is established, which can make full use of the moving point targets detection ability of the discontinuous frame difference vector's infinite norm. Due to the algorithm is based on the discontinuous frame difference, the parallel processing system can detect not only the moving point targets whose displacement is no less than one pixel between two continuous frames, but also the moving point targets whose displacement is no more than one pixel between two continuous frames but larger than one pixel between two discontinuous frames. Therefore, the ability of detecting and recognizing the moving point targets is highly improved. The experimental result shows that the algorithm is efficient.

Radon transform has important value in mathmatics theory, which can be used in algorithms for detecting linear features in an image. However, it has difficulty in detecting line segments in image, because Radon transform can not provide information about the positions of endpoints and the length. These problems become more serious when the transform is applied to an image with a high level of noise. The algorithm's suitability is discussed for linear feature detection in low SNR image, and this algorithm's advantages and drawbacks are analyzed. Then an accessional strategy based on information fusion is put forward to remedy the drawbacks. Aiming at low SNR image of airdrome's runway, the new algorithm reveals the preferable performance of speed and location.

Thirdly, realize gray calibration by using linear point operations. The result shows that the method has better stability for gray changing caused by illumination.

Low light level (LLL) image procession has become one of the most important task of low light level night vision technology. Image fusion is a newly developing technology which extracts information from multi-channel images to form a more understandable one for the use of observer of decision making system. The laser assistant vision infrared image is obtained by use of infrared laser assistant vision technology. The features of LLL image and laser assistant vision image are different, because the spectrums they respond are different. The fusion of these two kinds of image is realized based on contrast modulation using wavelet transform. The experimental results show that the fusion of laser assistant vision image and LLL image can effectively improve the of quality image. This technology can increase the war field information from the LLL night vision system and extend the detection distance of the LLL imaging system effectively.

Image fusion is one of the important techniques to enhance image information. A novel pixel-level image fusion scheme is presented based on multiscale decomposition. The wavelet transform is used to construct the wavelet coefficients of fused image using multiple operators according to different fusion rules. Comparison of fusion results of visible image and infrared image is given. It shows that the proposed method based on local area energy of each pixel can achieve better fusion performance than other usual fusion rules, avoiding losing information and improving the resolution and the special quality of image. Then the fused image is more suitable for human vision or machine perception.

The objective of image fusion is to combine information from multiple images of the same scenc to accomplish tasks that cannot be achieved with a single image or source.

This paper surveys methods and principle of wavelet-based image fusion, pays attention to advantages of wavelet-based image fusion, and compares the characteristics of different image fusion rules. Furthermore, wavelet-packet-based, wavelet-frame-based and multiwavelet-based image fusion methods are presented.
