In nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope (NMRG) system, circularly polarized light is utilized to pump alkali metal (for instance, rubidium) atoms in order to get them polarized. However, the pump beam is not ideal circularly polarized light in practical applications. In order to research the relationship between the pump beam ellipticity and the Rb polarization, the expression of the pump beam after passing through the quarter-wave plate was calculated, and the ellipticity of the pump beam before going through the rubidium gas cell was obtained. A numerical simulation model was established to study the influence of pump beam ellipticity on Rb polarization, the relationship between Rb polarization and pump beam ellipticity were obtained by experiment at the same time. Both the simulation and experiment results show that the Rb polarization increases with the increase of pump beam ellipticity, and with the further increase of pump beam ellipticity, the rate of Rb polarization growth slows down and gradually becomes saturated; In addition, Rb polarization increases with the increase of pump beam power for the same ellipticity.

    According to the bomb falling point coordinate measurement of wide field under complex terrain conditions, a monocular vision measurement method combined with digital elevation model(DEM) was proposed. The object or scene information was not relied on in the method. The 3D coordinate of the bomb falling point can quickly be calculated with only one bomb fall image of single camera in the method.

    The reflectance of cirrus clouds is an important parameter in weather, climate and earth energy balance studies. The fast algorithm for calculating the reflectance of cirrus clouds plays an important role in the retrieval characteristics of cirrusclouds. Based on the variations of the reflectance of cirrus clouds with the relevant factors, such as cirrus optical thickness, effective particle size, solar zenith angle, observing zenith angle, the relative azimuth angle et al, a prepared Look-Up-Table(LUT) was developed by using DISORT to compute the reflectance of cirrus clouds. A fast algorithm for calculating the cirrus reflectance was established with utilization of the LUT. The cirrus reflectivity was calculated from the parameters of cirrus clouds, including cirrus optical thickness, effective particle size, solar zenith angle, observing zenith angle, the relative azimuth angle, which were read from the cloud products of MODIS. A comparison between the derived reflectivity with the proposed fast algorithm and the measured one was performed. The correlation coefficient is 0.94 and an average deviation is less than 18.5%. The result indicates that the fast algorithm for calculating cirrus reflectance is reasonable and feasible.

    In order to get accurate data of external heat fluxes on space camera with two-dimensional changing attitudes, a method was proposed to calculate the external heat fluxes of space camera with two-dimensional changing attitudes in J2000 coordinate system. First, in J2000 coordinate system positions of space camera, position and radiation intensity of sun were calculated. Second, according to the working characteristics of the space camera whose visual axis always points to the sun and the position of the sun, its two-dimensional attitude angles were calculated under extreme conditions. Then, based on the obtained attitude angles, the attitude transformation matrix was calculated. Finally, in one orbital period external heat fluxes of unchanging attitude and two-dimensional changing attitudes were calculated with Matlab programming. The external heat fluxes of this paper were in good agreement with I-deas/TMG software. Compared with the unchanging attitude camera, external heat fluxes of the two-dimensional changing atitudes camera will have a great change, especially for the -Y surface where optical entrance is located. The solar radiation heat fluxes fluctuation range of -Y surface is 0-1 394 W/m2. The obtained attitude angles provide an important reference for the adjustment of the attitude for the thermal simulation model. According to the data of the external heat flux with changing attitudes, it can be seen that the external heat fluxes of the -Z surface is smallest, and the maximum average period external heat fluxes of -Z surface is less than 4 W/m2. In addition, the external heat fluxes of the ±X surfaces and +Y surface are smaller, and the maximum average period external heat fluxes of ±X surfaces are less than 80 W/m2, and the maximum average period external heat fluxes of +Y surface are less than 110 W/m2. In practical application, the external heat fluxes of ±X surfaces and +Y surface will be smaller due to the obstruction of the satellite platform. Therefore, the -Z surface, ±X surfaces and +Y surface can be used as heat dissipation surfaces, which provides a good guide for thermal design work.

    In order to obtain 3D moving trajectory of non-rigid object with point feature, two calibrated high-speed cameras were used. A practical 3D motion recovery method of non-rigid object with point feature was proposed. The method included image spatial reconstruction, temporal series reconstruction and other steps. The spatial reconstruction and temporal series reconstruction were the core of 3D motion recovery. In spatial reconstruction, the coordinates of the points on the image were obtained by using ellipse fitting method, and the matching points were searched according to the Mahalanobis distance. Then, triangulation was used to calculate the 3D points. In the aspect of temporal series reconstruction, the searching method was used to match the coordinates of the points between sequential images. So, the 3D motion recovery of the movement process was realized. Then, the reconstruction result was used to calculate the parameters, such as speed, acceleration and curvature change of the non-rigid object. The experimental result shows that the method improves the speed and accuracy of the spatial matching and realizes the temporal series matching simply and effectively. What′s more, the time of the whole reconstruction process is reduced. Through the reconstruction of the target, the 3D motion data of the object is obtained accurately.

    Based on the basic structural unit of SiO2/Al/SiO2, the optical constants of thin Al films were obtained accurately by fitting the multi angle ellipse polarization spectrum and the transmittance spectrum. And the influences of the thickness of Al film on the optical constants was also studied and analyzed. Theoretically, the three cavity UV induced transmission filter was obtained by using the admittance matching method. And the influence of preparation error of Al and SiO2 dielectric matching layer on the spectral properties of UV filters was systematically analyzed. Based on the low temperature, the high vacuum growth process of Al and SiO2 thin films, the high performance three cavity UV induced transmission filter were successfully prepared. The peak wavelength was located near 218 nm, and the peak transmittance was ~23.1%, and the bandwidth was ~32 nm. The transmittance in the 280 nm, 318 nm bands were about 0.5% and 0.04%, respectively.

    The effects of γ-ray irradiation on the subsequent time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) of partially depleted (PD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOS devices were investigated. By testing and comparing the transfer characteristic curves, threshold voltage, off-state leakage current, the TDDB lifetimes and other electrical parameters of the NMOS and PMOS devices before and after irradiation, the effects of γ-ray irradiation on the TDDB reliability of the devices were analyzed. The results show that the positively charged oxide trap charges induced by γ-ray irradiation in the gate oxide layer affected the distribution of the internal barrier of the device, and reduced the height of the barrier of the electron transition. Therefore, the positive feedback effect of electron tunneling is enhanced and the TDDB lifetime of the device is reduced, resulting in a reliability degradation of the gate oxide of the devices.

    In order to improve the air-stability of organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite, two kinds of all-inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 nanocrystals with different sizes were synthesized by high temperature hot-injection method. Because the nanocrystal size plays a key role in determining electrical performance of nanocrystal film, the effect of CsPbBr3 nanocrystal size on the photoelectric response of thin film photoconductive photodetector was studied. The results show that the photocurrent of nanosheet film is 100 times higher than that of nanocube film, resulting from the large carrier diffusion length of 2D CsPbBr3 nanosheet film with less boundary. Finally, an overall performance evaluation on nanosheet film photodetector with higher photoreponse was conducted, and low noise equivalent power and high specific detectivity demonstrate its good weak light detection capability.

    In the dual Mach-Zehnder perimeter security system, it is difficult to achieve pattern recognition accurately and efficiently. To solve this problem, a pattern recognition method based on short-time Fourier transform(STFT) and singular value decomposition was proposed. In order to realize the accurate distinction of three different events, the method consisted of three steps. Firstly, the time-frequency information was obtained by the short-time Fourier transform of the interference signal, finding the event endpoint and filtering the signal according to the information; And then, the singular value of the time-frequency information was got. The characteristic vectors were defined by the characteristic of singular value, according to the physical meaning of the singular value. Finally, SVM was used to classify the events. In order to verify the effectiveness of the method, a fence system of 2 km long for experiment was built. 360 sets of interference signal data of three events (climbing the fence, knocking the cable, and waggling the fence) were collected, each event had 120 sets of data. The result of experiments demonstrates that the proposed scheme can discriminate three common invasive events with a high recognition rate. The recognition rates of the three events were all above 90%. The scheme also improve signal processing speed of the system, which has high application value.fiber sensing; signal analysis

    A dispersion flattened fiber (DFF) transmission system was proposed with high bitrate, polarization multiplexing and quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) signal. The modulation format of the system was PM-16QAM, the bitrates were 160 Gbps and 256 Gbps. The transmission characteristics over DFF link system were experimentally studied, which were compared with those of non-zero dispersion shifted fiber (NZDSF) link and standard single mode fiber (SSMF) link. The experimental results show that the Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) of 160 Gbps and PM-16QAM over 50 km DFF link is 0.5% better than those over 50 km NZDSF link, the BER is 2 orders of magnitude better than that of NZDSF, and the DFF link can better reduce side-mode noise. When bitrate is 256 Gbps and transmission distance are 50 km and 75 km, the PM-16QAM signal can be well demodulated only after the DFF link. And the longer the transmission distance, the smaller the input optical power range is while maintaining good characteristics. Comparing 160 Gbps with 256 Gbps, high bitrate PM-16QAM signal transmission characteristics over the DFF link are superior to those over NZDSF and SSMF links. The higher the transmission rate and the longer the transmission distance, the more obvious the transmission effects are.

    In order to design large-aperture mirror with light weight, high rigidity, high accuracy characteristics for the space telescope, a mirror topology optimization method based on the level set method was promoted. Firstly, a finite element model based on the 1-meter aperture mirror body initial structural model was constructed. The surface shape aberration RMS of the mirror was used as the objective function, which was constructed by the DRESP2 technique in Optistruct based on SIGFIT. With the weight constraint, the topology methods based on SIMP and level set method were used to optimize the structure separately during the design process. The separation threshold of the design result was studied based on the OSSmooth function. By analyzing the separation threshold of optimized model, the optimized exported structural model could be achieved. The number of elements with the middle density using the level set topology optimization design method is much smaller than level set method, and the connectivity of the structure is much better. The surface shape RMS value of the optimized model is smaller than λ/50(λ=632.8 nm), which satisfies the technique specification.

An optical system design of a cooled off-axis three-mirror optical systems based on freeform surfaces was presented. This cooled off-axis three-mirror optical system was composed of two freeform surfaces and one even aspherical surface, which was a re-imaging structure with cold stop as the optical stop that could ensure 100% cold shield efficiency in the optical system. The optical stop could be imaged at the position of the first mirror by the second mirror and third mirror, which could reduce the size of the first mirror obviously. With the three mirrors optimized after optimization design including tilted and decentered methods, the system unobscured could be achieved and the freeform surfaces could be used to enlarge the field of view, correct image aberrations and improve the total image quality of the system.

    Considering the complexity of internal structure and optical path of the off-axis three-mirror system, it is difficult to directly analyze the effect of deflection error of each mirror inside the off-axis three-mirror system on the line-of-sight. Therefore, a method of simplifying the off-axis three-mirror system model was presented to a single-mirror system model for analysis. Then, based on the model of single reflection system, the formula of the deflection error of the off-axis three-reaction was derived. Finally, the model of off-axis three-mirror system was created by Zemax software, the change of the line-of-sight of the system was simulated by adjusting the position of the mirror and the coordinates of imaging can be obtained, then the deflection value of the system′s line-of-sight was solved by substituting the image coordinates into the calculation formula. From comparing the results, the maximum error of the deflection of the line-of-sight relative to the deflection of the line-of-sight in the simulation is not more than 4%, which verifies the correctness of the theoretical analysis based on the single reflection model.

    A frequency-quadruple microwave signal method based on dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) was proposed. The frequency-quadruple principle was theoretically analyzed. The upper sub-MZM of the DPMZM was modulated by RF signal and operated at the maximum transmission point (MATP), while only an optical carrier was obtained from the bottom sub-MZM of the DPMZM. Then the DPMZM worked at the carrier-suppressed even-order sideband modulation mode. In order to improve the purity of quadruple frequency signal, optical bandpass filter(OBPF) was used to remove the high-order spurious sideband. Microwave photonic frequency-quadruple system was built based on DPMZM, and its performance was tested experimentally. The results demonstrate that the optical sideband suppression ratio (OSSR) and radio frequency spurious suppression ratio(RFSSR) can reach 21.09 dB and 28.41 dB, respectively. Since no extra electronic devices were used, the system can generate radio frequency with frequency up to 80 GHz. DPMZM based microwave photonic frequency-quadruple system had the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation and good frequency-quadruple performance, which can realize high purity and high frequency quadruple frequency generation.

    Exhaust plumes of solid rocket motors involve complex flow state, afterburning and radiation effects, which have an important role in the operations of detecting, indentifying, and tracking. To investigate the characteristics of afterburning and radiation effects under different flight conditions, the computational fluid dynamics method and the finite-rate ratio model were used to simulate the flow properties with chemical reactions, and line of sight method was utilized to solve the radiation transmission equations. The influence of afterburning effect on the radiation characteristics of different heights was analyzed. The results show that the afterburning effect can cause the flame temperature rise to 1 000 K, and increase the radiation brightness of the flame band more than 10 times. For different bands, the radiation brightness rises and then decreases along with the height. The maximal position is 20-30 km, with about 17 times radiation enhancement in the short wave 2.7 μm waveband and about 16 times in the 4.3 μm mid wave waveband. It can be seen that the contribution of the H2O molecule caused by the afterburning is greater than that of the CO2 molecule. Theses can provide reference for further theoretical research and engineering application.

    The laser echo signal will cover the certain range while laser ranging to space targets through transmitting laser signal from the ground station. The number of laser echoes per unit time will be obviously increased through utilizing multi-telescopes to receive signal on ground. It′s very helpful to enhance the detection ability of measuring space targets for laser ranging system. According to laser ranging link equation and the theory of signal detecting probability, the analysis of the effect on the detecting probability of laser ranging system with multi-telescopes to receive laser signal was performed to research on the equivalent receiving ability. Based on the 1.56 m aperture of astronomical telescope about 60 m far from the 60 cm telescope at Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the activity of laser ranging to artificial satellites with retro-reflector was implemented to research on the detecting ability of dual-telescopes while simultaneously receiving laser echo signal. The number of laser echoes had increased by 4 to 5 times compared with the aperture of 60 cm telescope system. The effect on increasing the detecting ability of measuring space targets was obvious. Considering the laser measuring ability of 1.56 m telescope system, the equivalent receiving aperture of 1.61 m can be derived for 1.56 m/60 cm telescopes. The analysis on the detection ability of laser ranging to space targets with the orbit height of 1 000 km and the size of 10 cm and number of receiving telescopes were also performed. From the experiments the technical feasibility and advantage of multi-telescopes to receive signal are validated, which will play an important role in the weak signal detection and laser ranging in future.

    In order to realize the remote sensing detection classification and identification of the rotor, the laser echo feature of extended rotor target based on micro-Doppler effect was studied. The micro-Doppler coherent laser echo model of moving extended rotor was built with the panel method of physical optics. Angular scattering characteristics of laser were analyzed and calculated, which proved that rotor had the same echo reflectivity everywhere under the far field condition. Laser detection echo of three typical rotor shapes was simulated, and the time-frequency features of extended rotor were achieved by Smooth Pseudo Wegener-Villy(SPWV) transform. The electromagnetic scattering mechanism confirms that each frequency band was related to the shape of the rotor, and the number of blades does not affect the expression of features of rotor shape in time-frequency figure as well as the moving velocity. The laser detection calculation methods of rotor shape parameters, including aspect ratio, root-tip ratio and sweep angle of rotor tip, were proposed and proved to be correct through simulation, which layed the foundation for rotor identification.

    Porosity defect is the main problem for the double-sided laser beam welding of aluminum alloy T-joints. Based on its technology characteristics, the effects of the surface states, laser incident angles, welding speeds, heat inputs and laser distances on the porosity defects were studied in this work. The results indicate that the pure aluminium cladding layer is beneficial for reducing porosity defects. Using larger laser incident angle and welding speed are good for reducing porosity defects, the reason is that the fluid flow changes from convection to toward to keyhole, which can help pores escape from the weld pool. And, reducing heat input and increasing laser distance are bad for reducing porosity defects, the change of the keyhole shape and fluid flow are the essential reasons. It is necessary to ensure keyhole symmetry and pass-through, which can help the pores escape from the weld pool and reduce the number of the porosity defects.

A total of 8 freshly extracted sound human maxillary third molars were prepared according to occlusal veneer. Extracted teeth were treated by Er: YAG laser after tooth preparation. The ultrastructure of dentin was observed by SEM. They were divided into 2 groups, 4 for the control group and 4 for the experimental group. After tooth preparation, the dentin of the experimental group was treated by Er:YAG laser. The specimen were observed by SEM including dentinal tubules, melting and fissure etc. It was observed that in the experiment group there was no smear layer, and the dentinal tubule was clear. Meanwhile, in the control group, there was obvious smear layer in the dentinal tubule therefore the dentinal tubule was not clear. This study suggests that Er:YAG laser treatment on dentin after tooth preparation can remove smear layer in the dentinal tubules, which may improve the adhesive properties between tooth and restoration.

Moreover, this technique is also able to control the far-field laser combining intensity distribution. Based on the theory, the principle of coherent combining of lasers from multi-core linear fiber array was studied. By using the coherent synthesis model, the coherent combining effect of multi-core linear fiber array was numerically simulated by MATLAB when wavefront of the lasers with and without random phase noise respectively, and the feasibility of angle scanning using actively phase-controlling was analyzed. The coherent combining angle scanning control system was built based on MOPA laser linear array fibers. The experiment shows that active phase-controlling of the laser linear array is able to realize the angle scanning of the main maximal stripe, and the scanning range is between two secondary large stripes. The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical calculation, and that has a guiding significance to the application of coherent combining of linear fiber array lasers.

    In order to improve the measurement accuracy, the high accuracy measurement model of laser triangulation method was proposed, which consisted of variable threshold subpixel grayscale gravity center extraction algorithm and CCD tilt error compensation algorithm. The spot centering algorithm played a decisive role in the accuracy of laser detection. A variable threshold subpixel grayscale gravity center extraction algorithm was proposed according to the defect of the existing laser center localization algorithm. The gradient function and the Gaussian fitting algorithm were used to set the threshold to remove the effect of spot edge noise region on center location, and the polynomial interpolation were used to improve the precision of grayscale gravity method. CCD tilt error compensation algorithm was established to further improve accuracy. The system was established with STM32F407 as the hardware core. Taking taper thread as the measured object, the test was carried out. The results show that the laser spot can be accurate acquisition by the high accuracy measurement model.

    The colored fraction of dissolved organic matter, CDOM, directly influences water optical properties and spectral quality, playing an important role in aquatic ecosystems, optical remote sensing and carbon circulation in the sea. Measuring in situ CDOM absorption coefficient, however, is difficult because it requires prefiltration of water samples. An analytical laboratory and field instrument for fast diagnosis of chromophoric dissolved organic matter(CDOM) in water was developed. The laser fluorometer was integrated with spectral fluorescent signature(SFS) analysis of the laser stimulated emission excited at 405 nm and hyper spectra for surveillance of CDOM. CDOM and water Raman scattering components were derived from the laser stimulated emission spectra measured in the laboratory and field conditions with SFS technology, which added to analytical Lidar sensing the capability of detecting and identifying trace substances in a variety of targets in the presence of other background matters responding to optical excitation with overlapping signals. The influence of temperature change on CDOM fluorescence data in water was investigated in laboratory, and a temperature calibration method was employed for calibrating fluorometer data. Laboratory and in-situ studies with the laser fluorometer in the East China Sea (ECS) in April 2013 were carried out. Significant and positive correlation in the ECS was observed between CDOM absorption measurements and CDOM fluorescence (R2=0.83). The result demonstrated the possibilities of CDOM monitoring in real time based upon the laser fluorometer.

The Young′s modulus and hardness of the mixed films with different SiO2 content were measured through nanoindentation, and the variation of Young′s modulus and hardness as a function of SiO2 content were studied. The results show that with the increase of SiO2 content, both the Young′s modulus and hardness of the mixed films decrease, and the variation of Young′s modulus of mixed films as a function of SiO2 content can be well fitted by iso-stress model of a two-component composite. In order to illustrate the relation between SiO2 content and mechanical properties of the mixed films, the microstructure of the mixed films was analyzed by XRD, and the influence of microstructure on Young′s modulus and hardness were studied. It was found that the crystallization of thin films had major impact on hardness, but little influence on Young′s modulus. The residual stresses of the mixed films were calculated using the data of surface shape measured by Zygo interferometer, the variation of stress as a function of SiO2 content was obtained, and a reduction of compressive stress with the SiO2 doped in HfO2 was observed.

    In order to prepare electromagnetic wave attenuation materials in wide-band, the hydrothermal method was used to prepare graphene/copper nickel ferrite composite (CNFRGO), and the composite was characterized by SEM, XRD, IR and Raman spectrum. Secondly, the electromagnetic parameters of the composite were measured at 2-18 GHz. Moreover, the loss tangent and reflection loss were calculated to analyze its microwave attenuation performance. Finally, its complex refractive index in IR band was measured, and its extinction and absorption properties were calculated and analysed by using the measured data and the T matrix method. The results show that the spinel-type copper nickel ferrite nanoparticles are adsorbed on the surface of reduced graphene oxide, and the particle size is mostly around 20 nm. CNFRGO have both dielectric and magnetic loss, and the bandwidth of its reflection loss lower than -10 dB is 3.7 GHz, and its peak is -14.7 dB at 11.8 GHz. In near-IR band, the strong extinction of CNFRGO is mainly caused by scattering. It′s mainly due to absorption in middle and far IR band, and its absorption ability in near and middle IR band is strong, but it′s relatively weak in far IR atmospheric window. Therefore, microwave and IR radiation can be absorbed simultaneously by CNFRGO, and it′s a good microwave and infrared compatible material.

A high-performance prohibitory traffic sign detection VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) architecture was presented. Both color and shape characteristics were utilized in the proposed architecture by detecting circles using circular Hough transform in the red edge bitmap. The local property of circular Hough transform was exploited so that the memory requirement was significantly reduced comparing with common architecture. All the radii were voted concurrently to make full use of the parallelism of logic elements and memory in FPGA. The proposed architecture was implemented on Altera′s EP3C55F484C6 FPGA. The maximum frequency of the implementation was 122 MHz and the resource requirement was acceptable. Experimental results show that the architecture can achieve a throughput up to 115 M pixels/s and was robust to adverse situations such as bad lighting condition, partial occlusion, multiple signs clustered and similar background color.

    Vehicle infrared panoramic scanning imaging system has the characteristics of column single imaging and 360° full field view, which result in that traditional electronic image stabilization methods could not be directly applied, therefore, the panoramic image stabilization algorithm based on region segmentation and fusion was proposed. First, the image pre-compensation was completed by local column offset adjustment method. Then the panoramic image was divided by the area, i.e., the front region, the right region, the end region and the left region, based on vehicle forward direction. Then each region used different image stabilization models for stabilization according to imaging characteristics, and the sliding window strategy was used to shorten the computation time in motion estimation process, the undefined area reconstruction method was used to compensate for missing information in motion compensation process as well. Finally, the local area expansion strategy and the progressive fade-weighted average fusion strategy were adopted to complete the region′s splicing and fusion, resulting in the seamless splicing effect of panoramic images. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method which can meet the requirements of engineering applications can effectively solve image stabilization problems of the system in the course of the vehicle moving forward, the precision of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) is increased by 14.7% compared with the original image sequence, running time is reduced to the 1/10 of traditional algorithms.

    The usage specifications of p-value statistic were stimulated by highly visible discussions in the field of Statistics over the last few years. It is generally considered that a p-value can indicate how incompatible sample data are with the alternative hypothesis model. To explore the connection between the p-value of correlation analysis and spectral independence, the deductive reasoning and example verification were carried out. Compared with correlation coefficient(r-value statistic), results show that the band independence can be directly expressed by p-value statistic of correlation analysis. And p-value matrix has a kind of high-level self-sparsity, which can be used to model easily. And then an unsupervised band selection method(p-value sparsity matrix band selection, pSMBS) through p-value statistic modeling independence was proposed, based on the histogram frequency statistics of p-value matrix. Using two typical hyperspectral images (HSI) data, the experiments of supervised classification were carried out. The results indicate that, on Kappa coefficient, overall accuracy(OA) and average accuracy(AA), pSMBS is superior to three kinds of methods, adaptive band selection(ABS), infinite feature selection (InfFS) and Laplacian score feature selection(LSFS). Therefore, the effectiveness and the practicability of pSMBS were verified on HSI band selection, and the characterization ability of p-value of correlation analysis on expressing band independence was evidenced.hyperspectral image

    The feature representing method based on encoding has advantages in illumination invariance, calculation efficiency and feature representation. It is one of the new feature extracting methods. The finger-vein images were captured in a perspective view by using infrared light source. Due to the complex biological tissue and the imaging mode, the image quality was usually poor. The Gabor filtering was used to enhance the image texture and the local graph structure encoding was adopted. A new feature encoding method was proposed with emphasis on a new local graph structure which was symmetric and crossed in neighborhood. The image texture of local neighborhood was converted to weighted encoding strings. The filtered image of each channel of Gabor filter was encoded in different directions so as to express the information of position and gradient in the neighborhood adequately, and it was rotation invariant as a result. The experiments results show that new method achieves better performance in finger recognition than common feature encoding methods and is more robust in rotation.
