In order to monitor the working status of marine ecological monitoring instruments, a three-gear zoom optical system with large relative aperture is designed. This system is designed with Zemax software and its total length is 200 mm. The system uses a 6.4 mm×4.8 mm CCD camera, and the three-gear zoom focal lengths are 8, 14, and 28 mm, respectively. The relative aperture remains at 1/1.4 during zoom process. The maximum field of view is 52° with short focus. At maximum field angle, when the Nyquist frequency is 42 lp/mm, the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the system at 0 field of view is 0.8, the average MTF is 0.7 at 0.707 field of view, and the average MTF value at 1 field of view reaches 0.6. In 10 μm range, the diffraction encircled energy is 90%, and distortion control is in a reasonable range. The system has high zoom ratio, simple structure and large relative aperture. It is suitable for monitoring the marine ecological monitoring instruments and can timely feedback their working status information. Therefore it greatly reduces the maintenance cost of marine ecological monitoring equipment.

    Using monocrystalline silicon, multicrystalline silicon and simulated amorphous silicon solar cells as research objects, we study the influences of bias spectral characteristics such as irradiance and spectral distribution on the spectral response (SR) of solar cells. The SR of solar cells is related to the bias light. The SR at long wavelength region increases and the short-circuit current of solar cell increases linearly with the increase of irradiance of bias light. The spectral distribution of bias light also has influence on the SR of solar cell. Large spectral mismatch degree induces large difference in SR measurement. Therefore, the irradiance and spectral distribution of bias light should be as close as possible to the IEC standard in order to improve the accuracy of SR measurement of solar cells.

    The direction angle sequence of the target is collected by the pyroelectric infrared sensing equipment, and the target tracking scheme without distance measuring is realized with the help of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. When the array layout is large, the collected length of direction angle sequence increases, the dimension of algorithm search space increases, and the tracking precision decreases. Through splitting sequence, the distributed particle swarm optimization algorithm (DPSO) integrated multi-node cooperative decision is used to realize the real-time target tracking in the large array of infrared detecting system. And the tracking accuracy meets the requirements. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively extend the application of the basic PSO algorithm in pyroelectric sensing.

    Based on liquid crystal, a wavelength tunable guide mode resonance filter (WTGMF) with a center wavelength of 1.55 μm is designed and optimized by using the rigorous coupled wave method. From calculation, the thicknesses of anti-reflection layer and substrate both have influence on the resonance line width of the filter. The thinner the thickness of anti-reflection layer is, the wider the resonance line width is. However, there is always an optimum substrate thickness to minimize the line width. When the substrate thickness is 300 nm, the resonance width is the narrowest with only 0.96 nm. In addition, the main factor that determine the wavelength tuning range of WTGMF is the thickness of the liquid crystal layer. The tuning range increases with the increase of the thickness of the liquid crystal layer and finally reaches stability. When the thickness of the liquid crystal layer reaches 1600 nm, the wavelength tuning range reaches the maximum of 39 nm.

    In order to meet the requirements of uploading and downloading large-capacity data in all-optical networks, a reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), polarization division multiplexing (PDM) and space division multiplexing (SDM) is proposed, which can improve the uploading and downloading capacity of optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) by 12 times. The OADM system based on WDM and PDM is built experimentally and performances are analyzed. Results show that the OADM based on WDM and PDM can achieve dense WDM and realize PDM steadily. The stability of the polarization state at main output port achieves 0.01, the splitting ratio of fast and slow axes at polarization beam splitter output port is close to 1∶1, and the insertion loss is lower than 9 dBm. The OADM models based on photonic lantern (PL) and SDM are established, and the multimode multiplexing of six-mode and three-mode are realized respectively. Results show that the effective refractive index difference between different modes of OADM based on PL and SDM is larger than 6×10-4, which indicates low inter mode interference and high isolation degree.

    A torsion sensor based on few-mode long-period fiber grating (LPG) with high sensitivity is proposed. The LPG is written by CO2-laser pulse with high frequency. Harmonic peaks are generated by the coupling between linear polarization (LP01 and LP11) modes of two cores. Torsion sensitivity can reach up to 0.528 nm·rad-1·m-1, and the torsion sensitivity of the torsion sensor is one order higher than that of the common single-mode LPG. The torsion-induced LPG can be treated as a periodic helical modulation superimposed on the original grating. As a result, the effective grating period changes in proportion to the torsion rate to make the wavelength of resonant peak drift, which is the main reason for the generation of high torsion sensitivity. Due to the weak cross sensitivity of the new LPG to ambient refractive index and temperature, the new LPG can be used as a contact torsion sensor with high accuracy and has a wide range of application prospects in the fields relation to torsional measurement.

    The multichannel transmission of dual single sideband discrete multitone (Twin-SSB-DMT) signal based on all-optical wavelength conversion (AOWC) is investigated theoretically and simulated. The generation principle of the dual single sideband signal is studied theoretically, and the relationship between the converted signal and the original signal is analyzed. The dual single sideband signal, which is with the left single sideband modulated by discrete multitone-quadrature amplitude modulation (DMT-4QAM) and the right single sideband modulated by DMT-16QAM, is obtained when we set the radio-frequency signal in the push-pull modulator. High-quality converted signals of 1-8 channels are generated through the four-wave mixing of 20 Gbit·s-1 dual single-sideband signal in the semiconductor optical amplifier. The converted signal contains the original data, and the multicast transmission of high-order signal can be achieved. The simulation results show that the dual single sideband DMT signal improves the spectral efficiency and the utilization of wavelength bandwidth, reduces the cost, and improves the performance of the whole AOWC system. In addition, according to the constellation and bit error rate curves, 8-channel polarization-insensitive multicasting signals can be directly received without crosstalk, and the cost of signal to noise ratio is low, which is good for achieving the high-quality multicast system.

    Peak localization is a critical step in processing fiber Bragg grating (FBG) reflected signal. Aiming at the feature of FBG reflected signal, we propose a peak detecting algorithm applied to FBG reflected signal to solve the peak overlapping problem in peak localization. According to the ridge peak detecting algorithm based on continuous wavelet transform, the correspondence between wavelet coefficients and FBG reflected signals is analyzed, and the ridge peak detecting algorithm is improved to find the peak of overlapped FBG reflected signal. The experimental result shows that the improved wavelet ridge peak detecting algorithm can effectively solve the peak overlapping problem of FBG reflected signal. Through this algorithm, the error of peak detecting can be reduced, and the accuracy of peak localization can be improved.

    The coherent detection sensitivity can be directly reflected by mixing efficiency in free-space coherent optical communication system. Expressions of the variation in mixing efficiency with the radial error of optical axis, mismatching angle, axial defocusing and atmospheric turbulence intensity are derived respectively, and simulation analysis is carried out. Results show that mixing efficiency can reach the maximum value of 0.8145 when we choose the waist radius and relative aperture matched with wavelength. The optical axis radial error of signal light and local oscillator light has the greatest influence on the mixing efficiency and relative aperture, followed by the mismatching angle and axial defocusing. The above three factors are limited to 0-4 μm, 0-0.05 rad and 0-200 μm respectively. Mixing efficiency is larger than 0.55 when the 1550 nm light wave is chosen as the communication wavelength, the waist radius is 3.4λ and relative aperture is 0.21. The atmospheric turbulence effect can be effectively suppressed with a small aperture receiving antenna under the mid-strong turbulent condition.

    Kerr effect is one of the key factors limiting the performance of the resonator fiber optic gyroscope (RFOG). Based on the Kerr effect and Sagnac effect, we establish a theoretical model of gyroscope Kerr effect bias error of RFOG, and analyze the influence of difference of coupling ratio of the output couplers in clockwise and counter-clockwise beam paths in fiber resonator and the difference of lengths of two resonant cavity arms on the performance of the gyroscope. In addition, we also present a scheme to suppress the Kerr effect bias error by coupling light intensity control and structure design of the RFOG. After 4 runs of individual experiments, it is shown that the proposed scheme can effectively suppress the Kerr effect. The gyroscope bias is reduced from 0.150 (°)/s to 0.017 (°)/s, and the bias stability is increased from 1300 (°)/h to 140 (°)/h. The gyroscope performance can be improved by nearly one order of magnitude.

    Effects of structural parameters of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) on its eigenmode field distribution are analyzed with the full vector finite element method (FEM). The numerical calculation results show that light field will be confined in fiber core when the PCF structure is with multi-layer air hole and fiber core, long distance between air holes and large filling ratio of air. High order mode appears when the number of fiber core layers, distance between air holes and filling ratio of air increase. In addition, the increasing of the number of fiber core layers and distance between air holes compensates the power leaking at fiber core arising from the decreasing of filling ratio of air. It is demonstrated that the single-mode transmission with large mode field is feasible when we decrease filling ratio of air and increase the number of fiber core layers and distance between air holes. The core radius and effective mode area can reach 40 μm and 3717 μm2 respectively while the power concentration of fiber core is 68.32% with four-layer air hole, two-layer fiber core, air filling ratio of 0.01 and distance between air holes of 20 μm.

    Anti-resonant hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCF) have important application in middle-infrared fiber gas lasers. The low-loss coupling between HC-PCF and solid-core fiber is a key technology to realize all-fiber structure fiber gas lasers. A scheme of inserting tapered solid-core fibers into hollow-core fibers is proposed and studied. Theoretical and experimental results show that the low-loss coupling between solid-core fiber and anti-resonant HC-PCF with large mode field diameter is realized when we use optical fiber taping technology to change the diameter of ordinary fiber mode field and make the mode field diameter of the tapered fiber approximately match that of the hollow-core fiber. For the ice-cream type anti-resonant HC-PCF with mode field diameter of about 35 μm, the simulation results indicate that when the waist diameters of tapered fibers are around 30-50 μm, the coupling efficiency is over 95% and the maximum coupling efficiency can reach to 98%. In the experiment, the coupling efficiency is 96.05% when the waist diameter of tapered fibers is 35 μm. This conclusion provides a feasible technical approach for the low-loss coupling between anti-resonant HC-PCF with large mode field diameter and solid-core-fiber and the realization of all-fiber structure gas lasers.

    In order to apply the acousto-optic frequency shifter (AOFS) to the optical phase-locked loop for the fast and accurate tuning and to ensure the quality of the signal received by coherent receiver, we introduce the frequency shift principle and the dynamic operation mode of the AOFS in the phase-locked loop, study the insertion loss characteristics of the AOFS systematically, and analyze the effects of power variation of driver and frequency variation in frequency shift process on insertion loss. We design and build a test system for the insertion loss measurement of 1550 nm AOFS based on the beat frequency method. The test results show the variation in the insertion loss under the influence of various modulation signals, and the global dynamic variation trend of insertion loss under multiple influencing factors is also analyzed and verified experimentally. The driving power is optimized according to the experimental results of the AOFS. The optimization results show that the AOFS insertion loss declines by 15 dB in the range of frequency shift when the driving power increases from 25 mW to 1 W, and the maximum relative insertion loss declines by 1 dB.

The experimental results show that the APD detection sensitivity ranges from -47 dBm to -34 dBm when the communication rate changes from 10 Mb·s-1 to 2000 Mb·s-1. When the bias voltage changes from 55.0 V to 70.0 V, the detection sensitivities at communication rates of 10,100,1000 Mb·s-1 increase by 5.7,6.5,7.8 dB, respectively. The experimental results well validate the theoretical analysis, which provides technical support for improving the receptivity of space laser communication system.

    On the basis of the characteristics of multi-band, nonlinear and spatial correlation of hyperspectral remote sensing data, a new feature extraction algorithm based on spatial-spectral deep learning (SSDL) is proposed. This algorithm uses a multiple layers deep learning model, which is the stacked automatic encoder to study high spectral data layer by layer and explore the deep nonlinear characteristics of the image. Based on the spatial neighbor information of each feature pixel, the spatial-spectral combination of sample depth feature and spatial information is used to increase the compactness of homogeneous data and the separability of non-homogeneous data, and improve the performance of subsequent classification. The ground objects classification experiments are performed on Pavia University and Salinas Valley hyperspectral remote sensing datasets. When sample proportion is 1%, the ground objects overall classification accuracy reaches 91.05% and 94.16%. When sample proportion is 5%, the ground objects overall classification accuracy reaches 97.38% and 97.50%. The results show that the SSDL feature extraction algorithm fuses the deep nonlinear characteristics and spatial information of data. It can effectively extract the discriminant features, and obtain higher classification accuracy than other algorithms.

    In order to overcome such defects as low robustness and low detection rate induced by the sensitivity of current hash image authentication algorithm to the rotation operation, the compact image hash algorithm based on an improved local binary pattern (LBP) operator and the dynamic update transform is proposed. The linear interpolation technique is introduced to preprocess the input image and improve the scaling robustness of the hash sequence. The Ring division is used to transform the interpolation image into the secondary image. A H-LBP operator with strong descriptive ability was designed when the Heaviside function is embedded into traditional LBP operator. Considering the difference between the center pixel characteristics and the adjacent pixels, the anti-rotation robustness features are extracted. The compression sensing is introduced to reduce the dimensions of high-dimensional feature vector, and a compact transition hash array is output. A dynamic update transform mechanism is designed with the chaotic transform idea to encrypt the transition hash array, and the image hash sequence is obtained. Finally, the hash similarity between the input image and the detected image is calculated based on Hamming distance to achieve the authenticity of the image through the optimized decision threshold. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm generates a smaller hash sequence and has better perceptual robustness to rotation, noise and other operations than the current hash algorithms.

    The image quality assessment algorithm based on feature similarity (FSIM) has certain limitations to some extent when detecting image step edges. A new algorithm named symmetry feature similarity is put forward by combining the FSIM with the symmetry phase congruency (SPC), which is sensitive to step edges, and calculating the gradient magnitude through the isotropic Sobel operator. The proposed algorithm makes use of the symbols responded to the phase adjacent pixels by SPC and the more accurate weighting coefficient of isotropic Sobel operator to detect and locate the image edge feature. The simulation experiments on various kinds of distorted images are carried out, and the results indicate that the SFSIM is more sensitive to sharper image edge features and Gaussian blurred images, on the basis of retaining the excellent performance of the original method.

The original assumed ellipsoid is estimated by the least squares method. The ellipsoid is corrected to obtain the most realistic corneal surface. First of all, the pixel level data information is obtained by the Canny algorithm. Then, the gray value of the data is smoothed to reduce the noise. And the gray gradient of the data is fitted 3 times to obtain the sub-pixel data. Finally, the clear images obtained by standard corneal topography are used for the three-dimensional reconstruction. By analyzing the curvature radii and diopter data obtained by both methods, the results show that the errors are less than 0.9%, and it proves that the proposed method is feasible.

    Four dual-energy projective decomposition algorithms that may be applied to the X-ray bone densitometry, including surface fitting method, lookup table method, contour fitting method, and neural network method, are studied and compared. The photon counting detector has high energy resolution and low noise. The projection data acquired by the multi energy bin photon counting detector on a bench-top imaging setup helps to improve the decomposition precision. Aluminum (Al) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) are selected as the base materials to represent bone and soft tissue respectively. Combinations with different base material thicknesses are used for calibration experiments to build lookup tables for high energy and low energy projections. The four projective decomposition algorithms mentioned above are used to establish the inverse lookup table, nine test points are selected in table and are decomposed by the four decomposition algorithms, and the decomposition deviation and running time of various algorithms are calculated and compared. The results show that Al thicknesses with a bias of 0.11%-3.68%, 0-2.86%, 0.07%-3.23% and 0.41%-4.18%, PMMA thicknesses with a bias of 0.11%-3.42%, 0.44%-5.33%, 0.02%-2.83% and 0.09%-4.89% are estimated by the surface fitting method, the lookup table method, the contour fitting method and the neural networks method, respectively. Compared to the lookup table method and the neural network method, the surface fitting method and the contour fitting method are faster by about an order of magnitude. The results suggest that the contour fitting method is superior in terms of decomposition accuracy and rate.

In an experimental cabin under atmospheric environment, the simulation of target mechanical structure named miniature landscape sand table is carried out under various rain and fog conditions to obtain visible images in sunny day, mist, fog, dense fog, light rain, moderate rain and heavy rain. The visible images are enhanced based on the improved dark channel method, and, the mean squared error (MSE) and peak signal to noise ratio (PNSR) of the rain and fog images and the enhanced images are calculated. The calculated results show that , with the increase of rain and fog level, MSEs of the rain and fog images and enhanced images gradually increas from 245.78 to 383.07, and from 46.84 to 222.01, respectively, and the PNSRs gradually decrease from 24.23 to 22.29, and from 31.42 to 24.66, respectively.

In addition, compared MSE and PNSR of the rain and fog images with those of the enhanced images, it shows that MSE decreases obviously and PNSR increases significantly. The quality of the images is improved significantly according to the two objective indexes of MSE and PNSR.

Besides, the PTR signals of stepped steel samples, aluminum/steel samples with blind hole array, and steel samples with blind hole filled tin are tested in experiments. For the aluminum samples with blind hole array with diameters of 2.5, 2.0, 1.5 mm and hole bottom thickness of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 mm, the PTR phase distributions obtained by the experiment show that the diameter of the blind hole and the hole bottom thickness are distinguishable. For the steel samples with blind hole array, the PTR phase distribution before and after the blind hole filling with tin shows a certain difference. The experimental results show that the PTR detection of the focused spot can detect the stoma defect in aluminum or steel. The depth of the stoma defect should be less than or approximately equal to the thermal diffusion length of the surface material, and the cross-sectional area of the stoma defect should be approximately equal to or greater than the spot.

    The effects of pulse energy and spot overlap ratio on the wettability of ceramic tools processed by femtosecond lasers are investigated. The wettability of the alumina ceramic tools after laser treatment is investigated by measuring the contact angles. The experimental results show that the femtosecond laser can change the wettability of ceramic material surfaces. The superhydrophilic surfaces and the superhydrophilic-based cutting fluid surfaces can be prepared if suitable laser energy density and spot overlap ratio are chosen. The wetting speed of water based cutting fluid on the laser-processed surfaces is exponentially decaying with the contact angle.

    There are many ways to limit the current flowing in the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), in which the preparation technology of oxide aperture (current injection aperture) confining method is simple. So the oxide aperture confining method becomes a universal choice. The simulation result shows that the maximum current density is at the edge of the oxide aperture for the oxide aperture confined VCSEL. The influence of the inner radius of the P-type electrode on the current density of the injection aperture is also simulated. The results show that when the inner radius of the P-type electrode increases, the current density at the edge of the device oxide aperture increases, the corresponding device working voltage increases, and the output optical power declines. The device surface spot area is calculated with optical field distribution and divergence angle distribution of the device structure comprehensively considered. The optimal inner radius of the P-type electrode is 8 μm.

    An unstable resonator can obtain high extraction efficiency of light as well as high beam quality under the condition of the large Fresnel number. We design a telescopic off-axis metastable-unstable hybrid resonator with conduction-cooled end-pumped structure which can be used as the Nd∶YAG slab gain medium, and its output coupling mirror is a variable reflectivity mirror. The resonator in the width direction of the hybrid resonator (the x direction of the slab gain medium) is an unstable resonator, and the resonator in the thickness direction (the y direction of the slab gain medium) is a metastable resonator. Through the theoretical analysis, an output power of 4428.7 W of this metastable-unstable hybrid resonator structure and an optical-optical efficiency of 0.4429 can be obtained when the pump power is 10 kW.

    A method of water-assisted laser induced plasma backside etching of Pyrex7740 glass is proposed and a scaled-down cross-channel microfluidic chip is fabricated. The influences of laser energy density and laser processing times on the average etching depth, and the function of deionized water in the etching process are studied by means of theoretical analyses and processing experiments. The study results show that the average etching depth depends much on the laser energy density and the processing times. The deionized water is helpful for the realization of a continuous etching, and a chip with microgroove width of 77.8 μm, etching depth of 20.4 μm, a neat etching edge of no obvious damages is fabricated. However, in the absence of deionized water, the maximum etching depth is 2.8 μm under a laser energy density of 3.4 J/cm2.

The effects of thickness, diameter and hardness of rubber on the metal sheet forming is also analyzed. An experiment is carried out to verify the simulated results. The study results show that the final shape of the deformed sheet is hemispherical. A great thickness of the rubber is conducive to the metal sheet forming when the thickness is in the range of 1.5-3 mm. The metal sheet forming result has no obvious correlation with the rubber diameter.

    High power pulse xenon lamps are usually used as the pumping source for slab amplifiers in high power laser facilities. The spectrum of xenon lamps is strongly linked to the gain performance of slab amplifiers. A spectrum testing system in a dark room with the time resolution of 2 μs is built to test the xenon lamp spectra at different discharging time. The results show that the xenon lamp gives quite different spectra for rising and falling edges of the current waveform with the same current density. The rising edge spectrum has many obvious discrete spectra. If no pre-ionization is applied, the radiation spectrum energy at the rising edge is 48% lower than that at the falling edge when the current density is 0.866 kA·cm-2. If pre-ionization is applied, the difference reduces to 24%. The pre-ionization can effectively increase the radiated energy of the rising edge, and the pre-ionization is an effective way to increase the radiation efficiency of the xenon lamp. The original xenon lamp radiation spectrum model is modified to agree with the experimental spectral data well.

    The surface contact angles of aluminum-based materials is regulated and controlled by using femtosecond laser pulses with different energies, and the transformation mechanism of wettability is analyzed and studied. The results show that the final stable wettability state of aluminum-based material surfaces after the femtosecond laser processing and aging treatment is related to the laser energy and the aging time. With the increase of the laser energy, the surface contact angle is changed from 70° to above 150°. The morphology, roughness and chemical compositions of aluminum-based surfaces are studied under different pulse energy processing conditions. The results show that the wettability of a laser-processed sample changes from a hydrophilic state to a final super-hydrophobic state. The super-hydrophobic surfaces can be obtained in different pulse energy regions, but there are non-periodic or periodic structural differences in their surface microstructures, and the formation mechanisms of hydrophobic properties are different.

The results show that a good metallurgical combination between the deposition layer and the as-cast substrate is formed, and the deposited samples are composed of the γ and γ′ phases. There is a strongest diffraction peak both in the deposition layer and the as-cast substrate when the diffraction angle is 50.78°, which indicates that the growth orientation of the substrate gets well extended in the SLM deposition structure. The primary dendrite spacing is only 1-2 μm and the secondary dendrite arm degenerates and even disappears. The segregation ratio of each alloy element is close to 1 and the elements are uniformly distributed at the dendrite arms and the interdendritic space.

According to the heating-pulse zone demarcation points and the peak points of the temperature curve on the upper surface of base at any moment, the section body for the warp deformation analysis is obtained by using two geometric planes to intercept the single-track cladding model. By analyzing the stress/strain states of the upper surface of the cladding layer and the upper and lower surfaces of the base, it is found that the reverse and forward bending occur successively on the section body. The cladding part exhibits deformation toward the laser beam macroscopically. Finally, the reasons for the warp deformation in the single-track cladding process are summarized.

The study results show that the residual stress distribution simulated by this model is similar to the experimental result. LSP can induce a residual compressive stress layer in the welding zone to eliminate the residual tensile stress induced by the welding thermal influence. With the increase of laser pulse energy, the residual compressive stress and the depth of residual compressive stress layer increase, but the increase becomes smaller. The peak value of strain on the weldment surface increases with the increase of laser pulse energy.

    In order to solve the false pose of a single circle feature in the monocular vision measurement, a method for eliminating the pose duality of a single circle based on rectangle constrain is proposed. When the camera is calibrated in advance, the images of the circle and rectangle of the target are acquired, and the planes of circle and rectangle are required to be coplanar or parallel to each other. Firstly, the center position of the circle feature and the normal vector of the circle plane can be obtained by the mathematical derivation which has a false solution. Secondly, based on the constrain condition that the real normal vectors between the circle plane and the normal vector of the rectangle plane whose priory condition is unknown are parallel to each other, the false solution can be effectively eliminated. Finally, the real pose parameters of the object can be calculated by the related algorithm, so the real position of the object is acquired. The experimental results show that the absolute error of the object attitude measurement is less than 0.5°, which shows that the proposed method is simple and easy to implement and can eliminate the false pose effectively.

The color model of the object is established by using HSV space. The texture apparent model of the object is established by using the enhanced center symmetric local binary patterns and represented by the local joint sparse coding. Integrating the color and texture features,the similarities of the object and candidate regions are computed. The object state is estimated by the maximum posterior probability. Whether the object model need to be updated is judged every two frames, which reduces the accumulative errors caused by frequent updates. The proposed method is compared with the other four methods by using visual tracker benchmark data set. Experimental results show that the overall accuracy and success rate of the proposed method is 83.5% and 79.6% respectively. In the case of occlusion, deformation and illumination, the proposed method can track the object accurately and steadily.

    Eu2+ and Dy3+ co-doped alkaline earth silicate fluorescent powders are synthesized by the high temperature solid-phase method and the microwave combustion method. The properties of the fluorescent powders are analyzed and measured by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and fluorescence analyser. The results show that the Ba5Si8O21∶Eu2+, Dy3+ fluorescent powders synthesized by the high temperature solid-phase method have the best fluorescence property when they are sintered at 1150 ℃ and the Eu2+/Dy3+ ratio (the ratio of mole fraction) is 1∶3. Comparing the high temperature solid-phase method with the microwave combustion method, it is found that the microwave combustion method can reduce the synthesis time of Ba5Si8O21∶Eu2+, Dy3+ significantly, but the luminescent intensity of products is low. Comparing the properties of the synthesized Sr2MgSi2O7∶Eu2+, Dy3+ with those of Ba5Si8O21∶Eu2+, Dy3+, it is found that the type of alkaline earth metal ions has an effect on the emission wavelength of fluorescent powders.

The variations of illumination factor, blue light hazard factor and circadian factor with color are studied with the utilization of MATLAB. In the visible range, the blue-light-ratio of LED backlight displayer at different color temperatures is calculated. The result show that illumination factor decreases with the increase of the age and color temperature; blue light hazard factor and circadian factor increase with the increase of color temperature, and decrease with the increase of the age. When the color temperature is 1200 K, the ratio of blue-light-ratio of the displayer to blue-light-ratio of candle is 0.783, and the ratio is 10.294 when the color temperature is 6500 K.

    On the basis of the typical structure and parameters of human eyes, we establish personalized -5 D myopic models with two types of astigmatism: corneal astigmatism and ocular residual astigmatism. The corneal ablation is simulated using three typical surgery schemes including spherical, optimized-Q, and wave-front guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Spot diagrams at the fovea on retina and wave-front aberration maps of the eyeball before and after surgery are compared. The results show that the spherical correction and optimized-Q surgery can restrain corneal astigmatism, but the rectification to ocular residual astigmatism is poor; spherical correction scheme can introduce substantial spherical aberration, which can be well confined by the optimized-Q surgery scheme, but neither of them is able to reduce other types of high order aberrations; the wave-front guided LASIK can correct any type of myopia, astigmatism, or irregular high order optical aberrations.

    Based on the analysises of the measured bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) data and the limitations in Phong model, a modified model is proposed to describe the Fresnel reflection properties. On the basis of the classical Phong model, two parameters are added to adjust the strength and the decay rate of Fresnel reflection in different materials, respectively. The genetic algorithm is used to fit the BRDF data from 4 kinds of commonly used materials for space targets, and the fitting errors of the modified model and the classical Phong model are compared and analyzed. The results show that the fitting precision obtained by the modified model is 90% higher than that obtained by the classical Phong model for the materials with an obvious Fresnel reflection phenomenon, which verifies the effectiveness of the modified model. For the materials with a weak Fresnel reflection phenomenon, the fitting errors obtained by the two models are equivalent, which represents the robustness of the modified model. The modified model can better describe the Fresnel reflection phenomenon while keeping the orginal excellent description ability of the Phong model.

    In view of the problems of the random forest in the feature selection process in high-dimensional spaces, such as calculation complexity, large model memory overhead, and low classification accuracy, a feature selection algorithm named binary search random forest pruning (BSRFP) is proposed. This algorithm firstly obtains the feature importance scores according to the purity Gini index, and deletes features with low importance scores. The optimal feature subset and the classifier with the highest classification accuracy are then obtained with utilization of the pruning technique combining binary search with the diversity among base classifiers. To verify the effectiveness of this algorithm, a cigarette quality recognition model is established and compared with other methods. The results show that the binary search algorithm simplifies the feature search process, and the RFP algorithm reduces the size of random forest algorithm. The classification accuracy of the random forest pruning algorithm is 96.47%. The features selected by using BSRFP algorithm are more correlated, and the algorithm provides higher accuracy of cigarette quality recognition.

The square resistance is 6.01 Ω and the average transmissivity of light whose wavelength is at range of 400 nm and 800 nm is 91.39%. The ZnO/Ag/ZnO composite films have good opto-electronic properties after optimization.
