Target location is one of the typical functions and tasks of the photoelectric turret, and its location accuracy is also one of the operational technical indicators of the turret. This problem was analyzed from the angle of theory and simulation. Firstly, the coordinate systems used in target location and their mutual transformation relations were analyzed.

In the process of image generation and sensing, the image is often disturbed by the noise, which will increase the difficulty to the subsequent image processing and even bring the huge economic losses to some production activities. Combined the advantages of stationary wavelet transform with convolutional neural network, an effective image denoising algorithm was proposed. In the training stage, the proposed algorithm was adapted to decompose the image with a stationary wavelet of scale 1, and the high and low frequency components were input into the four designed residual networks for training respectively. In the test phase, the inverse wavelet transform was used to obtain the final predicted image. The experimental results show that when the level of Gaussian white noise reaches σ = 50, the mean of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index method (SSIM) of the denoised image can reach 28.37 dB and 0.808 0. This algorithm can effectively remove the Gauss white noise and natural noise in visible image, and the noise generated by remote sensing image in the sensing process. Moreover, the proposed algorithm can preserve the edge and texture details of the image while removing the image noise.
Accurate removal of the skeletal burrs is the most critical step in the extraction of interference fringe skeleton, which can be applied in laser interference fringe detection. A burrs removal algorithm of interference fringe skeleton based on skeleton features is proposed,which includes the acquisition of feature points of skeleton and the tracking of the eight-neighborhood linked list. First, the pixel points are scanned one by one to obtain the four feature points of the skeleton: endpoints, nodes, glitch points, and backbone points. Then, the algorithm of eight neighborhood linked list based on feature points is used to extract all the glitch points and backbone points, and the difference operation was performed based on nodes to remove the burrs. Finally, the processed image is iterated until the interference fringe skeleton burrs are completely removed. The OpenCV machine vision algorithm was used to simulate the burrs image removal, the results were verified by 1 000 pieces of burrs images, and the correct rate of burrs removal is 94%. Compared with the traditional scheme, the proposed algorithm has a higher pertinence, retains the backbone of the skeleton, and removes the remaining burrs, which has a broad application prospect in interference fringe detection.

Based on the optical fiber laser hydrophone of distributed feedback (DFB), a new demodulation algorithm of single differential division (PGC-SDD) was proposed for the deficiency of traditional phase generated carrier (PGC) demodulation scheme. Compared with the demodulation algorithms of traditional differential cross-multiplication (PGC-DCM) and the Arctan, the improved algorithm could reach the demodulation results with reduced amount of operation steps and computation, in which only the signals in one of the two channels needed differential calculation. The PGC-SDD algorithm could effectively suppress the light intensity disturbance caused by environment and the harmonic distortion caused by modulation depth, which made the demodulation results closer to the signal to be tested. The simulation and experimental results show that the signal-to-noise ratio of PGC-SDD algorithm can reach to 17.5 dB, higher than 12.4 dB of PGC-DCM algorithm and 13.9 dB of PGC-Arctan algorithm.
In the deep working environment, the hydrostatic pressure can cause the reflection center wavelength of distributed feedback (DFB) fiber laser hydrophone drifting out of the multiplexing window of demodulation system, and the target sound pressure signal cannot be demodulated by the water receiver; different hydrostatic pressures also cause changes in the sensitivity of the distributed feedback fiber laser hydrophone, which affects the consistency of the fiber laser hydrophone array. Based on the theory of electric sound analogy, a distributed feedback fiber laser hydrophone probe with static pressure compensation was proposed. The sound pressure transfer function of the structure was established, and the influence of various structural parameters on the transfer function was analyzed, which provided a theoretical basis for the flattening design of the frequency response for distributed feedback fiber laser hydrophone probe.

Multi-dimensional information acquisition by single detector is the future direction of photoelectric detection. Aiming at the problem that the energy and the polarization information could not be considered in target detection, a new pixel array structure with polarization-low level light integrated function was proposed. The integration of polarization and low level light detection was realized in electronic multiplying charge coupled device (EMCCD) by introducing the white light channel and the reduced polarization channel. The experimental results show that under the low level light condition, the high sensitivity of the new detector is held, and the imaging quality at low illumination is almost not decay. In polarization mode, the white light channel and two polarization angle enable the detector to obtain enough polarization information, so as to realize the polarization detection of the target. Synchronous acquisition of high sensitivity imaging detection and polarization information detection by this method is realized, and the reconstruction of the detection mode can be realized by the algorithm processing.

The gas detection method based on tunable semiconductor laser absorption spectroscopy has the advantages of non-contact, high resolution and sensitivity. However, the on-line detection of industrial gas by laser spectroscopy is susceptible to temperature changes, resulting in an increase in concentration measurement deviation. Study on ammonia, the mechanism of temperature effect on the absorption spectroscopy characteristics was explored, the experimental platform for ammonia laser detection at various temperatures (298 K to 323 K) was built, and the gas absorbance-temperature correlation method was proposed to correct the concentration inversion results. The results show that, the ratio of total partition function rQ is the dominant parameter affecting the spectral line intensity of ammonia at the same concentration. The spectral line intensity decreases with the increase of temperature due to the linear decrease of rQ with the rise of temperature. When the ambient temperature of ammonia reaches 323 K, the inversion value is 3.13%, and the relative error between the inversion value and the standard concentration value is as high as 37.4%. After correction, the relative error between the inversion value and the standard concentration value is in the range of 0.2%~1.4%.
