The observation of solar activity has problems of small field of view and low resolution. The field of view corrected by a single-conjugated adaptive optics system is small, and a multi-conjugated adaptive optics system based on the method of three-dimensional reconstruction is time-consuming and complex. However, a solar ground-layer adaptive optics system, which corrects ground-layer turbulence, can achieve high efficiency and large field of view, and obtain high-resolution images. In the case of the distribution of four star array and with the average algorithm, the YAO software is used to the numerical simulation of the solar ground-layer adaptive optical system with 40″ and 60″ optimized field of view in J and H bands, and the simulation results are compared with that of single-conjugated adaptive optics system simulation under the same conditions. The results show that Strehl ratio of the ground-layer adaptive optics system increases 130%-210% compared with that of single-conjugated adaptive optics system within imaging field of view of 60″-120″, which is consistent with the results obtained by other softwares in solar adaptive optics.

    One-dimensional lidar signal is achieved by the simulation combining an atmospheric model and the design of parameters of imaging lidar. A two-dimensional light cross image is recovered based on measured beam widths and features of the Gauss distribution. The noised images similar to the real signals detected by imaging lidar are obtained when we add Gauss white noise with different intensities and certain intensity of average background to the original image. The good de-noising effect is obtained when we denoise the noised lidar light cross image by the two-dimensional wavelet transform method. The relative error between echo signal after denoising and original echo signal is in the range of ±12%. The extinction coefficients of aerosol are retrieved with de-noising lidar signals. Comparing extinction coefficients under the input aerosol atmospheric model with retrieved extinction coefficients of aerosol, we find that the relative error is in the range of ±15% and their variation trends are coincident, which verifies the feasibility of the proposed method using wavelet transform in the de-noising for the noised images of lidar.

    A model of refractive index sensing with high sensitivity elliptic side core surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based on dual-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is proposed. Properties of a sensor are analyzed by the full vector finite element method with the boundary condition of anisotropic perfectly matched layer. Results show that SPR can be realized in elliptic side core coated with silver nano-layer, and the resonance peak is highly sensitive to the changing refractive index of inspection hole. Compared with that of the circular structure, the phase matching between the fundamental mode of fiber core and the metal surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode of the elliptic side core structure is easier to implement. When the ellipticity is 0.7, a sensitivity of 10412 nm·RIU-1 in a refractive index range from 1.45 to 1.50 can be obtained, and the sensing curve has high linearity. In addition, the elliptic side core structure can effectively restrain the high-order SPP mode. The interference introduced by the coupling between fundamental mode and many SPP modes can be avoided.

    In a single detector compound axis system, the target will be out of field when the principal axis is in an open-loop state and the controlling for input is not proper after starting auxiliary axis tracking. In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to feedback the accurate position of piezoelectric ceramics (PZT) to the principle axis. When the PZT mirror is used independently in an open-loop system, the tilt angle of the PZT mirror cannot be controlled precisely. However, the control accuracy of the system can be greatly improved combined with detection and compensation systems. The detection of target position plays a significant role for mirror controlling, which can provide precise control information for servo system in open-loop state, so that it can ensure the target stay at the center of the optical axis. According to the physical structure characteristics of PZT mirror, the position detecting method for mirror in the single detector compound axis system is studied. The principle of the circuit design is present, and a new calibration method with optical autocollimator is proposed. The control formulas are given, and several repeating experiments are accomplished to verify these control formulas. The results show that the error can be controlled within 20 μrad. The study provides foundation for the design of the control system of single detector compound axis.

    The pedestrian reidentification is still a challenging problem due to various pedestrian poses, camera viewpoints and illumination conditions etc. Most of the reported works focus on improving the reidentification accuracy without considering the real-time capability. We propose a real-time pedestrian reidentification algorithm based on aggregated channel features (ACF). The ACF is applied to detect the pedestrian candidates, and the extracted ACF features are enhanced with histogram features and texture features and used as a pedestrian reidentification feature descriptor. Finally, based on the enhanced ACF features, we apply the metric learning to train the pedestrian identification model. The experimental results on four datasets show that the proposed feature descriptor obtains the higher recognition accuracy and much faster computation speed compared with the traditional reidentification features. The proposed pedestrian detection and reidentification framework has a running speed of above 10 frame·s-1, and it can basically meet the needs of real-time pedestrian reidentification tasks.

    In view of the problems of large matching calculation amount, too single constraints in the process of matching, and high rate of false matching in the extraction of image feature vector using the existing scale invariant feature transform algorithm, an improved matching algorithm is proposed. Considering the problem of feature description, selective independent component analysis algorithm is adopted to reduce the dimensionality of the feature vector for the decrease of the number and the dimension of the feature vector. In order to solve the problem of higher mismatching rate, a direction constraint is added to the constraint conditions, namely matching twice through the direction of the feature vector and the Euclidean distance to reduce the mismatching rate. The particle swarm algorithm is used to find the extremum of the function to reduce time consumption of the algorithm. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm can effectively increase the matching accuracy.

    To study the motion blur of liquid crystal display more precisely, the smooth pursuit eye tracking with sinusoidal patterns is investigated based on the eye movement tracking apparatus. The experiment tests the smooth pursuit eye tracking using nine kinds of sinusoidal images with different spatial frequencies at four kinds of motion velocities. The results show that the eye tracking velocity is always a little bit less than the moving velocity of the target image. Besides, the pursuit gain is significantly affected by the target moving velocity. The study puts forward an improved model which can simulate the eye perception results more precisely based on the pursuit gain. Simulation comparison results show that there is obvious difference between the proposed and traditional models when the product of spatial frequency and motion velocity is an integer while there is no big difference in other situations. The investigation results will play a guiding role in the optimization of motion blur and the improvement of visual comfort in liquid crystal displays.

    It is a challenging task to track pedestrian accurately in complicated environment such as illumination, background variation, occlusion, noise and fast motion. Aiming at these problems, the tracing algorithm based on HSV color features and reconstruction by contributions is proposed. The proposed algorithm extracts the mixed color features of target in HSV space to generate the target template set within the particle filter framework. According to the influence of different regions on the tracking results, the contribution of the region is distributed. And it is introduced into the adaptive regularization model, and the region with the minimum reconstruction error is determined as the target to be tracked. In order to be more robust, the templates are updated in real time during the tracking progress. The average center error of tracking results and tracking success rate of 100 sequences tested in OTB are 0.6624 pixel and 0.4153, respectively, and the proposed algorithm has better performance than others. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can realize the continuous tracking for pedestrian in complex video scenes and is beneficial to be realized in the practice system with better robustness.

    Directional polarization camera (DPC) is a space remote sensor with multi-spectrum, multi-angle and multi-polarization data. The procedure of laboratory geometric calibration is complex and it needs to process a large amount of data. By analyzing the principle, model and flow of the DPC laboratory geometric calibration and discussing the demand and framework of the software, we develop a flow-based data-processing software. The software is able to pre-process various calibration test data of the original image and calculate various scaling parameters rapidly. Compared with the manual calculation time of 40 min, the data processing software costs only 50 s. In conclusion, the software can meet the real-time requirement of laboratory calibration.

    In the process of moving object tracking, in order to solve the problems that the object is easy to loss because of the occlusion, illumination fluctuation, scale variation and other factors, and the tracking window of the traditional Camshift algorithm is easy to diverge, a moving object tracking algorithm is proposed based on the fusion of optimized hidden Markov model (HMM) and the block feature matching. Firstly, the principal component analysis (PCA) combined with the feature position is used to reduce the dimension of the affine scale invariant feature transformation (ASIFT) features to generate PCA-ASIFT features which can retain the key information of the object. Then, the of the PCA-ASIFT features can be optimized by using the optimal feature positions of the particle filter. Finally, the object blocks are established by HSV histogram model and the different weights are assigned to different blocks and the integration block features matching, which can improve the Camshift algorithm to accomplish the moving object tracking. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve better tracking effect of moving object in natural scenes, and it has bette robustness to occlusion, scale variation and so on.

    Aiming at the problem of the imaging distortion caused by the acousto-optic interaction, which is inherent in acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF), the distortion characteristic of AOTF camera is analyzed by AOTF analytic expressions and geometric aberration formulas. The image distortion model of the acousto-optic interaction is established, and the relationship between the distortion coefficient and the incident light propagation angle is showed. The two-step calibration method and the bilinear interpolation method are employed to correct and analyze the distorted image based on the constructed distortion model. The experimental results show that the maximum distortion pixel displacement of the image captured by the no-AOTF camera system is 1.6 pixel, while the maximum distortion pixel displacement of the image captured by the AOTF camera system is 9.0 pixel. The maximum distortion pixel displacement is 1.4 pixel after distortion image is corrected, which is better than the image captured by the no-AOTF camera system. The distortion model is introduced to describe the distortion mechanism and characteristics of AOTF camera. The distortion correction method can solve the problem of image distortion of AOTF camera imaging process effectively, and it has a good application prospect in the accurate measurement of AOTF spectrum camera.

    The compound eye imaging system, with such advantages as large field of view (FOV), small size, and light weight, has been extensively studied at home and abroad in recent years, and is one of the future development directions of optical imaging technology. Due to the smaller diameter of the sub-aperture, the existing compound eye system with large FOV is difficult to obtain high resolution images, and therefore cannot meet the requirements in such fields as remote sensing and aerial reconnaissance. To solve these problems, a dual-mode compound eye imaging system is proposed in this paper. This system not only has the imaging capability of multi-aperture and wide FOV as in the conventional compound eye, but also can enhance the imaging resolution significantly while all sub-apertures point at identical direction and the captured sub-images are processed by high resolution reconstruction. The principle and implement method of the system are analyzed. The feasibility of dual-mode imaging is verified by constructing an experimental device, which provides an innovative idea for the development of compound eye imaging system.

    In order to achieve the radial tolerance requirement in the process of machining, coating and aligning of the primary mirror of large aperture telescopes, we present a method based on image processing to realize the real-time detection of the radial eccentricity error of the primary mirror. Using optical imaging systems to take pictures of the reference hole which is fixed to the base of the primary mirror support structure and the inner hole of primary mirror while it is moving along the axis, the radial eccentricity error of the primary mirror with respect to the support structure is calculated by the edge extraction and the centroidal algorithm. Experimental results show that this method can realize the real-time measurement of the radial eccentricity error of the primary mirror, and the accuracy satisfies the radial tolerance requirement.

    When the high-precision measurement of the curvature radius is performed, the measurement error is introduced under three-point support. The theoretical analysis and the finite element simulation of the errors are carried out and the simulation results are verified by experiments. The results show that the rotationally symmetric error of support deformation leads to the inaccurate radius. The compensation is less than 70 nm under the specific experimental conditions. Based on this, the measurement accuracy can be increased when the measured value of the curvature radius under three-point support is compensated.

    Phase shift shadow moiré profilometry technique has the characteristics of the high definition and automatic measurement, but it requires the calibration for the measurement sensitivity in advance, and the implementation process is complicated. In order to simplify the calibration process, a calibration technique to measure sensitivity in real time based on three frame fringe patterns is proposed. A grating is shifted with vertical grating plane precisely and three frame phase shift fringe patterns are obtained. The fringe pattern background is removed by the subtraction between different frame fringe patterns. A phase shift algorithm based on the matrix norm is developed to extract the introduced phase shift. Rapid calibration of measurement sensitivity is obtained based on the relationship between phase shift and measurement sensitivity. Experiment results show that the proposed method is simple, flexible and can provide a closed-form solution for the calibration of measurement sensitivity. The calibration precision of the proposed method is better than that of the traditional Dirckx method.

And focusing performance parameters on the focusing plane are analyzed. The results show that any slight angle aberrations can lead to intense deterioration of the focusing performance and large deviation of the focusing location. When there is the angle aberration of the focusing system, different shapes of ignition areas appear for different design methods, which give rise to different flight trajectories and attitudes for the laser thrusters.

The curve fitting for these edges of the cross-sectional profile are done with the polynomial function model, the exponential function model and the Gaussian function model, respectively. The error analysis of the fitting results is also conducted. The analysis results show that the fitting precision for the upper edge of the cross-sectional profile of welds based on the exponential function model is the highest, however the fitting precision for the lower edge of the cross-sectional profile of welds based on the Gaussian function model is the highest. The geometric modeling experiments for the edges of the cross-sectional profile of welds in the tailored blank laser welding under different welding parameters are carried out and the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective to realize the geometric modeling for the cross-sectional profile of welds in the tailored blank laser welding.

    The laser tube asymptotic bending correction is realized by the layer scanning. Based on the Perona-Malik edge extraction algorithm and the RANSAC linear feature extraction algorithm, the real-time online measurement of the laser asymptotic bending correction process is realized. The influences of process parameters on the pipe bending angles are analyzed. The results show that the bending angle nearly increases with time linearly. The position and shape parameters have little effect on the increasing rate of bending angles, while the axial feeding times are directly proportional to the variation of the single-layer bending angle. The curvature of the bending section can be changed by the axial feeding step length. The higher the average laser power, the faster the increasing rate of bending angles.

After the laser-processed samples are baked, a series of aluminum surfaces with different wetting properties are obtained. A super-hydrophobic surface can be obtained by increasing the laser fluence. The study results show that, with the increase of laser fluence, not only the aluminum surface roughness increases, but also a clear micro-nano two-level structure is formatted. The area ratio between air and the total area of the super-hydrophobic aluminum composite contact surface is 90%. The super-hydrophobic surface induced by nanosecond laser is attributed to the coaction of micro-nano structures and chemical compositions.

Basically there will be no pinhole (slit) closure problem in the main optical system since the reduction of far-field intensity and the absences of filter aperture in transport spatial filter. Additionally, based on the design of off-axis angle complanation combined with the characteristics of mutual imaging between the distorted mirror and the reflector in amplifier cavity, the off-axis multi-pass of cavity spatial filter composed with SSF is designed to avoid the amplified spontaneous emission, which lays the foundation for the practical application of SSF and the further development of high power lasers.

    Aiming at the calibration of camera with a narrow field of view for deep space, the simulation analysis method based on stereo target is built. The spatial distribution influence of the target points on the accuracy of camera calibration is analyzed thoroughly. The number and position distribution of the target points are reasonably designed before camera calibration. The results show that spatial distribution scope of the target points has the greatest influence on the calibration accuracy while the number of target points has little influence. The calibration accuracy can be enhanced by arranging target points from the nearest measuring distance. A center location algorithm combining the region of interest with sub-pixel edge detection by the gray moment is proposed to locate the image target spot. The location accuracy and the processing efficiency of the image algorithm are improved effectively. The virtual stereo target is arranged to calibrate the intrinsic parameter of a camera quickly.

    The trouble of moving electric multiple-unite (EMU) detection system (TEDS), can monitor comprehensively the status of China railway high-speed (CRH) train, by using the high-speed linear cameras located besides the railway. We fulfill the automatic identification and inspection of the target in the high-quality image by using the machine learning and pattern recognition technology. However, the image taken by the linear camera is susceptible to the speed of vehicle, and there is a geometric deformation in the horizontal direction of image, which brings difficulties to the automatic recognition and detection of the subsequent target. To solve this problem, we set up a set of reference images, register and re-divide the images obtained in other time, according to the corresponding reference image, so as to minimize the influence of train′s speed on imaging deformation. Combined with TEDS, we use multi-resolution image fast registration method to achieve the rapid segmentation and alignment of subsequent target images. Hence, we propose an improved image subtraction technique, in order to quickly and automatically locate and detect the fault region by comparing and analyzing the aligned image pairs.

When the annealing temperature is 550 ℃, the thin film surface is smooth and compact and the variety of the secondary phases is the least. However, when the annealing temperature is 600 ℃, the film surface becomes rough and the variety of the secondary phases increases.

    The threshold and stable operation of a continuous-wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) are closely related with the roundtrip loss of the resonant signal travelling in the resonant cavity. Under the plane-wave approximation, a theoretical model considering the linear absorption of the nonlinear crystal and the nonlinear loss introduced by intracavity-frequency-doubled (IFD) is proposed to describe the output characteristics of continuous-wave IFD-SRO. The analytical solution is also given. The theoretical calculation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. According to these results, the output characteristics of the 532 nm green laser pumped IFD-SRO with resonant signal at 780 nm and the 1064 nm infrared laser pumped IFD-SRO with resonant signal at 1560 nm are predicted. The model is simple and easy to calculate. It provides a guideline for optimizing the design of continuous-wave IFD-SRO.

    The Fourier principles of moiré fringes produced by the square aperture planar microlens array and micrographics array are studied. The square aperture planar microlens array is regarded as orthometric 2D grid lines. The analytic formula of Fourier transform for 2D moiré fringes of the square aperture planar microlens array is derived based on the principle of Fourier transform of 1D grating moiré fringe. Moreover, the low frequency (1, -1) moiré fringe is analyzed in detail. The period and synchronization of moiré fringe with different angles are studied as key point. The experiments are carried out by using the 2D grid templates and micrographics arrays with different structural parameters. The results show that the experimental values agree well with the theoretical values, which provides theoretical basis for the application and research of the square aperture planar microlens array.

    In order to improve the cooling capacity of light emitting diode (LED), based on the principle of the chimney effect, the cylinder is added to traditional sunflower radiator to form a special chimney structure. We build a three-dimensional model by adopting Solidworks, and use its plug called Flow Simulation to simulate the model. The model with the number of fins of 12, the maximum diameter of 70 mm and the hight of radiator of 40 mm is optimized. Studies have shown when the number of fins is 20, the maximum diameter is 85 mm and the hight of radiator is 65 mm, LED cylindric sunflower radiator have the best cooling capacity. At the moment, the optimized highest temperature of LED is 48.98 ℃, which is reduced by 13.05 ℃. The temperature of the LED can meet the security requirements when the power of the LED chips are 8, 12, 16, 19 W. The LED radiator sample with the power of 8 W is experimentally tested. The results show that the average error between the actual temperature of the 4 monitoring points and the simulated temperature is 4.8%, which is within the allowable range. It confirms the correctness of the simulation steps. When the power is 32 W, the highest temperature of the LED chips still meet the technical requirements of less than 125 ℃. Which is 6.44 ℃ lower than that of the traditional sunflower radiator. In conclusion, the designed LED cylindric sunflower radiator can provide a new way to solve the heat dissipation problem of high power LED.

    The influence of spatial coherence of light source on interference is explored on the basis of Young′s double-slit experiment. Firstly, the spatial broadening problem of light source is equivalent to the problem of double-slit with width illuminated by parallel light. Then the double-slit is approximated to multiple secondary light source point arrays with discretization in which the distance of adjacent points is extremely tiny. An algorithm is deduced based on the principle of wave vector superposition. In this algorithm, each pair of secondary light source points in double-slit is designed as an interference unit. The interference light intensity for each unit at each observation spot of view plane is calculated, respectively. Then, the interference intensity of all the units is linearly superimposed, and the total light intensity of the observation point is calculated. Finally, we use Matlab to simulate the light intensity distribution when the double-slit is vertically illuminated by monochromatic parallel light, Gauss spectrum and rectangle spectrum with different slit widths, respectively. Comparison of simulated results shows that the influence of the double-slit broadening on stripe contrast is much greater than that of the spectrum broadening. The proposed algorithm simplifies computed process and raises program operating speed remarkably.

    The energy spectrum and the quantum entanglement in the Tavis-Cummings model are exactly solved, without the rotating wave approximation, and this exact solution of the energy spectrum is compared with the result under the rotating wave approximation. The influences of the atom state parameter θ and the atom-field coupling intensity at the initial time on the quantum entanglement are discussed. The results show that, when the coupling intensity is relatively weak, the energy spectrum under the rotating wave approximation is consistent with the exact solution. When the coupling intensity is relatively strong, there exist obvious differences between them. With the increase of θ, the entanglement degree increases gradually. With the increase of the coupling intensity, the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death between two atoms occurs. Moreover, the first occurrence time of entanglement sudden death becomes short and the duration of the entanglement death increases gradually.

    Many factors affect the accuracy of the point cloud obtained from terrestrial three-dimentional laser scanning. These factors exist together and influence each other. Therefore, it is useful to effectively improve the accuracy of the point cloud by studying the effect of each factor and their interaction on the number, reflection intensity and standard deviation of point cloud. Set the target color, roughness and distance as the study objects. By using multi-factor variance analysis method and multiple linear regression method, the significance of the influence of the various factors and their interactions are analyzed, and regression equations between the standard deviation and reflection intensity of point cloud are fitted. Results show that distance of target object has a significant impact on the number of point cloud. The number of point cloud at 5 m is about forty times as much as the number at 30 m. Distance is inversely proportional to the number of point cloud. Color of target object has a significant impact on the reflection intensity of point cloud. The strongest reflection intensity of point cloud for white is 0.54, and the one for black is 0.18. The reflection intensity of point cloud from strongest to weakest is white, green, blue, red, black. Distance of the target object has greatest impact on the standard deviation of point cloud obtained from terrestrial three-dimensional laser scanning. The standard deviation of point cloud at 30 m is three times as much as the value at 5 m. And color is taken the second place, however the effect of the roughness is not obvious. There is a power function relation between the standard deviation and reflection intensity of point cloud.

    At present, the space remote sensing camera still can not obtain the scene spectral radiance information in advance, so it can not adjust the exposure parameters according to the scene content. To this end, a method for adaptively configuring exposure parameters is proposed, which is realized by metering, calculating and imaging. In order to reduce the influence of metering camera on space remote sensing camera weight in practical application, the paper presents the application of a large-scale metering camera for metering, and a method of high resolution imaging based on low resolution image is proposed. Firstly, the change rule between the statistical characteristics of exposure of typical scenes and the scale. Large-scale metering image is used to conduct scale merging, and the exposure time of each scale is calculated. The function relationship between scale and exposure time is established by polynomial fitting, and the exposure parameters corresponding to the original scale are determined, so as to realize the imaging of space remote sensing camera with large-scale metering camera. According to the statistical results of unmanned aerial vehicle, the method can be applied to several typical scenes, the exposure parameter error between the value determined by large-scale fitting and the value determined by original scale image is less than 4%. Satellite picture data show that the error between the exposure parameters determined by large-scale fitting and the exposure parameters determined by the original scale image is less than 6% when the metering scale ratio is more than 90 times, but it still can accurately guide high-resolution camera imaging.

    In consideration of the problem of over-segmentation or under-segmentation in high-resolution remote sensing image segmentation that the noise leads to, a high-resolution image segmentation method with phase consistency and watershed transformation is proposed. Firstly, the phase-consistent model method with spectral similarity is adopted to obtain the edge response amplitude, and then the automatic marker watershed algorithm is adopted to segment the image. Based on the multiple restrictions for the features, such as spatial position, shape and area of adjacent segmentation objects, adjacent segmentation object merging cost function model is proposed to optimize the segmentation result and obtain the final segmentation result. Experimental images of the typical area are selected for the segmentation experiment. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by visual evaluation, supervision evaluation and comparison with the typical segmentation methods.

    Tumor is a great threat to human health, the majority of tumor patients die from metastatic tumor rather than primary tumor. Circulating tumor cell (CTC) is an important indication of metastatic tumor, and its detection can be used for monitoring tumor metastasis and prognosis evaluation. Based on the difference of light absorption between CTC and blood background, in vivo photoacoustic flow cytometry (PAFC) can realize CTC in vivo detection. Compared with the traditional CTC detection methods, the advantage of PAFC is that it can detect the number of CTC in the circulatory system, and the detection is noninvasive and high sensitive. This review summarizes the methods of the real-time and label-free detection of melanoma CTC and the real-time detection of breast cancer by nanoparticle targeting, and their application in evaluation of tumor metastasis and treatment effect.

    In order to solve the pre-processing problem of spectral data in near infrared rapid detection analysis of content of milk components, a pre-processing algorithm for score resetting (SR) of principal components (PC) in the near infrared spectrum on the basis of histogram layering mapping technology is proposed. With glucose content in the three components samples consisting of glucose, NaCl and water, and lactose content in the fresh milk samples, as the detecting objects, cumulative contribution rates of the near infrared scattering spectral PC scores are pre-processed by means of mapping by layer and by piece. Furthermore, partial least squares (PLS) regression analysis method is used for modeling, thereby test and analysis of sugar content information in corresponding near infrared spectra are completed. The results show that after SR pretreatment, the predicted deviation of the calibration curve of the milk lactose content PLS model is reduced by 23.9%, the actual prediction deviation is reduced by 27.8%, and the actual prediction deviation of the verification set is reduced by 16.7%. This SR spectral preprocessing method takes into account multi-scale information such as spectra, reference content value and component correlation to realize spectral information denoising enhancement. Therefore, false deletion of useful information can be avoided, and inadequate fitting and overfitting can be prevented.

Based on the mid-infrared spectra method, the preprocessing spectra are produced by smoothing, baseline correction, multiplicative scatter correction and normalization of the spectral data. The least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) prediction model is used to predict methanol/ethanol content, and the error rate is lower than 7.1%. The simulated results show that the correlation coefficient and the mean square error of the LSSVM prediction for methanol content of methanol diesel are 0.9791 and 1.7201; the correlation coefficient and root mean square error are 0.9802 and 2.9563 for ethanol content of ethanol diesel, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed model is a promising choice to identification and content determination of methanol/ethanol diesel.

    Based on the analysis of noise sources in the practical frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) traces, a reasonable program to remove noises is designed. The direct reconstruction and the reconstruction after noise removing are conducted for the FROG traces with the analogue noises, respectively. The root-mean-square error of the latter is lower by one order of magnitude than that of the former, which confirms that this noise-removing program is effective. The FROG system is set up and the FROG trace of a practical pulse is obtained. By analyzing and comparing the results obtained from these two reconstruction ways, it is found that the reconstructed pulse obtained by the noise removing way is much closer to the real pulse, which verifies the necessity of noise removing.
