In order to accurately reflect the actual features of laboratory-simulated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) atmospheric turbulence channels, a method using phase screens to simulate MIMO atmospheric turbulence channels was proposed. The liquid crystal modulation method based on liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) was studied, and the feasibility of the method was verified by experiments. The experimental results show that the laser spot of MIMO atmospheric turbulence channels simulated by phase screen has different degrees of distortion. In the turbulent environment, the power stability of the two-channel laser emission system is better than that of the single-channel laser emission system. Under the forward error correction error limit (3.8×10-3), the link penalty of the single-emission single-receiving system is 10.5 dB, and the link penalty of the two-emission two-receiving MIMO system is 9.3 dB. This research provides a new idea for the experimental method of simulating MIMO atmospheric turbulent channels in laboratory.
A high-sensitivity temperature sensor based on dual-core fiber coupling effect and vernier effect was proposed. The sensor was composed of two fibers which with a certain length difference, they were dual-core photonic crystal fiber and single mode fiber. The vernier effect was achieved by dual-core photonic crystal fiber through the cascade, and in the meantime the temperature sensing was achieved by filling the pores with ethanol in the middle of the fiber core. The simulation results show that the average temperature sensitivity of -20.37 nm/℃ of the temperature sensor can be achieved in the temperature range of 35℃~45℃. Compared with the sensor which only depends on the energy coupling effect of dual-core photonic crystal fiber, the temperature detection sensitivity of the proposed sensor is 10 times higher.
In the manufacturing technology of additive materials, the characterization of dendrites is crucial for analyzing the mechanical properties of laser cladding layer. However, the labeling of the dendrites is mainly completed manually at present, which is time-consuming and easy to introduce artificial errors, while the deep learning can improve the accuracy of target recognition. Based on the U-net network, the BNC-Unet network which was suitable for the identification and segmentation of dendrites was proposed. The serial attention mechanism and the Batch Normalization layer were effectively deployed in the upsampling and downsampling regions to adjust the weight information of image features. The intersection over union (IoU) was selected as the evaluation index of the segmentation results, and the results of original U-net network and different improved methods under this index were compared. In the test set, the segmentation accuracy index of BNC-Unet network for dendrites is 84.2%, which is 8.97% higher than the results of original U-net network. The index shows that the BNC-Unet network can accurately identify the morphology of dendrites from metallographic diagrams of laser cladding layer, and the accuracy of dendrites identification is significantly improved, which is convenient for evaluating the properties of cladding layer after the laser cladding test.

When the traditional key frame extraction algorithm is applied to the theodolite image sequence, a large number of unstable tracking image frames will be extracted. In order to better retain the stable tracking measurement information of the target, after analyzing the characteristics of the theodolite image sequence, a key frame extraction algorithm for the theodolite image sequence based on the local maximum was constructed. Firstly, the frame difference of the image sequence was calculated by the algorithm. Then, the Hanning window function was used to smooth the frame difference. Finally, based on the smoothed local maximum of frame difference, the key frame was extracted.

The extracted key frames are more uniformly distributed in the entire tracking measurement image sequence, and the scene information contained is more abundant.
The patch-match algorithm has been widely used in binocular stereo reconstruction due to its low memory consumption and high reconstruction accuracy. However, the traditional patch-match algorithm needs to iteratively calculate the optimal disparity d for each pixel of image in an orderly manner, which resulting in a high running time. In order to solve this problem, a learning-based model on the basis of traditional patch-match algorithm as a guide to reduce the running time and improve the accuracy of stereo reconstruction was introduced. First, the deep learning model was used to output the initial disparity map of each pixel with heteroscedastic uncertainty, which was used to measure the accuracy of the disparity predicted by the network model. Then, the heteroscedastic uncertainty and initial disparity were taken as the prior information of patch-match algorithm. Finally, in the plane refinement step, the heteroscedastic uncertainty of each pixel was used to dynamically adjust its search interval to achieve the goal of reducing the running time. On the Middlebury dataset, compared with the original algorithm, the running time of the improved algorithm is reduced by 20%, and the reconstruction accuracy of the discontinuous region is slightly improved.

The average adaptive threshold calculation method was adopted to improve algorithm adaptability to external dynamic environment and illumination changes in combination with OTSU method and uniformity measurement method, which retained effective pixels to the greatest extent. In the update phase, the adaptive update factor was introduced, which could effectively reduce the misjudgment probability, so as to enhance algorithm robustness. Finally, the target was more complete through morphological processing and filtering. The standard dataset video was applied to test and compare the improved algorithm.

The imaging circle of panoramic fisheye optical system is usually a complete circle, which is smaller than the vertical size of the sensor. Compared with rectangular sensor, the area of circular imaging circle is smaller and the utilization rate of effective pixels of sensor is low. Combined with the characteristic that the imaging circle of panoramic fisheye optical system is smaller than that of sensor, a panoramic fisheye optical system based on freeform surface design was introduced, which could realize elliptical imaging area and greatly improve the utilization rate of effective pixels of sensor.

Then, the center coordinates of original stripe were roughly extracted by gray centroid method. The regions of interest and background of stripe image after threshold segmentation were determined by extending the roughly center to stripe width direction, and the noise in the background region was removed. Finally, the stripe center was extracted by geometric center method after median filtering. The experimental results show that the average error of incoherent light stripe center of roughness specimen surface extracted by proposed method was 1.5 μm and that of involute gear was 0.9 μm, which are both smaller than those of line laser stripes. The proposed method can accurately extract the center of incoherent linear structured light stripe on metal surface.
