    Laser fuze is a kind of proximity fuze generally used in guided weapon. However, it is very difficult to obtain the intensity of reflected laser pulses at the receiver's windows in the laboratory. In addition, testifying the signal processing algorithm in the laboratory is another problem. A method of optical fiber-based simulation system is proposed here for laser fuze. Firstly, coupling lens and auto-focus lens are used in this system to couple the laser beam transmitted from (emitter) into fiber. Then, real-time power attenuation simulation is realized by means of a program-controlled wideband intensity attenuator. After being attenuated, the optical signals returned to windows of receiver through coupling lens by fiber optic propagation. In the system , the fiber is used to propagate laser pulses, so it can accurately simulate the reflective laser signalwhich laser fuze has transmitted such as passing across the target. At the same time, it can testify the signal processing algorithm used in laser fuze in the laboratory through controlling attenuation of laser signal in real-time.By theoretical analysis,system composition and detailed design of every part are proposed,then the design is verified by conclusion.

    In the generation of infrared image, a method based on signal injection is presented in order to attain a high performance-price ratio. It consists of six interacting modules. The radiance of target, background and interference arrives at the sensor after it is attenuated by the atmosphere. The radiance and attenuation of the atmosphere are computed with the LOWTRAN model. With the mathematical model of the sensor, the scaling principle of converting the radiance to the gray-scale is built. The whole 3D scene is rendered with OpenGL. By this system, the ability of recognizing and tracking target can be evaluated in the laboratory. Therefore the outfield experiments can be reduced.

    The proposed approach adopts adaptive filter to suppress random noise and Gauss's noise so as to enhance the SNR. Then, Otus's threshold method is used to segment the image and locate the sea-sky-line, through which the target potential area can be determinated. A mathematical morphology filter, Top-Hat operator, is employed to execute filtering to restraint the background contribution and maintain the small target in high brightness area. By choosing proper structural element, an open filter is executed to discard small false alarms. Eventually, the real small target can be segmented through searching maximal value in the target potential area nearby the sea-sky-line and assigning threshold. The experimental results show that the method can reject the clutter caused by waves and clouds and effectively detect and segment IR small target in the complicated sea background.

    The key problem in iris recognition is how to locate iris's position in an image. A new method of interior boundary of iris location based on active contour is presented. Firstly, a point in pupil called pseudo-center, which isn't required to be located at the real center of pupil, is detected by a method of gray projection. Secondly, several points spaced evenly around the pseudo-center are chosen as initial snake, and then the snake evolves until it gets the interior boundary of iris. Finally, two values are computed --one is the real center of pupil, which is expressed through the center of snake, and the other is the radius of pupil, the average distances between every control point of snake and the center. Experiments show that our method has better performance in speed and precision than Hough transform and daugman method. Moreover, our method is more robust because the pseudo-center is not rigorous.

    An algorithm to segment color document images into four different classes--background, photograph, text and graph is developed. By use of a modified RGB-ellipse color model, several features from the histogram of high-frequency wavelet transformed sub-bands are got to classify the color document image into the according regions guided by the rough set theory.

Models in common use also can be derived from it when the parameters are set to some specific values, so in this aspect it's generalized form of the statistical model for infrared image. The estimation of parameters can be done via the statistical moments. Furthermore, the infrared image can be segmented properly based on the model.

    Template matching by means of correlation is common practice in object tracking. However, its sensitivity to deformations of the patterns and the broad unsharp peaks are significant drawbacks. To reduce the influence of the noise and occlusion, a novel distance measurement method is proposed, in which first order statistics of the close points between the template and the image are used as a matching measurement. Instead of computing the distance of the gray value of the two images, it counts the number of the close pixel pairs in the object image and the template. The correlation curve got in this way is proved to be much sharper and the matching precision is improved significantly. When above method is applied to the processing of tracking, the reasonable update of the template will be the key. Based on above similarity measurement method, an adaptive template updating strategy is also presented, which is capable of selectively updating the correlation template in response to the changes in an image sequence and enable the correlation to track target under serious background clutter while decreasing the risk of template drift.

    Image matching belongs to constrained optimization problems. Whether the system would converge to the global optimum is still an open problem. To produce smooth and detailed disparity map, three assumptions--uniqueness, continuity and ordering--are generally adopted. However, if a point appears in one image but it is occluded in the other one, above assumptions are invalid. While the unwanted smoothing occurs in the resultant disparity map, a surface with high intensity variation extends into neighboring surfaces with less variation across occluding boundaries. This fact creates the phenomena of so-called fattening and shrinkage of a surface. Therefore, when considering the definition of criteria for an optimal match in one matching algorithm, some other matching constraints must be imposed based on the internal image information, to ensure the global accurate matching results accompanied with occlusion detection. A sparse-to-dense matching approach is presented, which utilizes the energy map to gain sparse but high confidence disparity map ,the phase matching to interpolate the disparity results and the optimization theories to avoid local extrema and detect occlusion areas.The experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.

    The accuracy and validity of the traditional image correlation-matching algorithms are degraded, with the presence of the gray change, image clutter, object variation and occlusion. The reason of degradation is that they use the method of adding the differences of the pixels' gray value according to the corresponding position or calculating the number of the pixels having similar gray value as matching degree. A new image correlation-matching algorithm based on edge extraction is proposed. Firstly the new algorithm processes the image by extracting edge and thresholding, then calculates the correlation of the binary images using the defined ESD distance. Results show that the new algorithm is robust to more image distortions and has great value in target tracking application.

    Wavelet image denoising has been well acknowledged as an important method of image denoising. Recently, most of the research efforts about wavelet image denoising focus on how to select the threshold. Edge information is the most primary high frequency information of an image. Therefore maintenance of more edge information is more important in the denoising process. According to the idea of this paper, an image denoising method based on wavelet transform and mathematic morphology is proposed. The coefficients of wavelet transform of image are manipulated by morphological operator, so as to remove the noise whose support are small area or no area at all and preserve the edge and the small features whose support are large or consecutive area. The experimental results show that, compared with the usually used wavelet threshold denoising method and median filtered method, the proposed method can keep images edges from damaging and increase PSNR to 3~5 dB and SNR to 6~10 dB respectively.
