Before calculating motion vectors, gradient information is analyzed to judge the blocks, and only useful reference blocks that are indispensable for accurate motion estimation are selected with its reliability and consistency on motion estimation, by which the number of blocks for subsequent calculation is reduced. Secondly, in the block matching, an improved Sequence Similarity Detection Algorithm (SSDA) is used to reduce computing cost. Finally, the LMedS method is used to eliminate wrong motion vectors and the parameters of whole motion model are obtained by least squares algorithm. Experimental results show that the method gets 1/4 pixel accuracy, and one process time is less than 7 ms.
The principle of the adaptive optics system for all-path aberration correction was analyzed in detail according to the theory of wavefront propagating in optics medium. While the wavefront sensor was calibrated by conventional method, the residual error of the adaptive optics system was deduced, and the shortcoming was indicated from the points of the residual error and the operation feasibility. Based on the characteristics of the adaptive optics system for all-path aberration correction, two kinds of new calibration methods for common mode Hartmann wavefront sensor were proposed, and the residual error of the system was analyzed in detail while the wavefront sensor was calibrated by new methods. The result indicates that the residual error of the system calibrated by the two new calibration methods is related to one of the residual errors of the system calibrated by the conventional calibration method.

A model for polarized light propagating in the biological tissue was proposed and the propagating of polarized light was simulated with the model. The distribution of polarization in biological tissue and birefringence model of biological tissue were reconstructed with different input polarized light. The relationship between Degree of Polarization (DOP) and order of scatters shows that depolarization of polarized light propagating in tissue weakens the interference between two arms of interferometer in PS-OCT and brings down image quality. Analysis of application of Stokes vector, Muller matrix in fiber-based PS-OCT system shows that Muller matrix is not affected by polarization of input light. Compared with Stokes vector, Muller matrix is more suitable for studying fiber-based PS-OCT.
Carrier phase delay resulted in output signal fading in the Phase Generated Carrier (PGC) demodulation, and in critical conditions, the output signal vanished. A carrier phase advance technique was developed to solve this problem. The digital carrier waveform was generated using cosine waveform Look-up-table (LUT) in the digital PGC demodulation system. An address offset was introduced at the LUT input port and a phase-advanced carrier was generated. The phase advance completely compensated the constant delay in the demodulation system. The address offset could be obtained from both analysis and measurement of the demodulation system. Experiment result verifies that the carrier phase advance technique is effective.
This paper points out the obvious wrong segmentation in the existing two-dimensional histogram vertical segmentation method. A new method of two-dimensional histogram oblique segmentation is proposed, in which the histogram is divided into inner, edge and noise parts by four oblique lines paralleled with the main diagonal. The image is segmented according to the sum of point grayscale and neighborhood average grayscale. The method could be used in almost all the two-dimensional histogram threshold algorithms. The formula of the Tsallis–Havrda–Charvát entropy thresholding based on the two-dimensional histogram oblique segmentation and its fast recurring algorithm are deduced. The segmented images and processing time are given. Compared with the original two-dimensional Tsallis–Havrda–Charvát entropy algorithm based on two-dimensional histogram vertical segmentation, the proposed algorithm makes the inner part uniform and the edge accurate in the segmented image, and has better tolerance capability to noise. The processing time is reduced by 5 orders of magnitude.
In image measurement system, accurate focusing is critical for high precision measurement. For image focusing, a focusing evaluation function is introduced to verify whether the image is in focus or not. When the edge of a work does not lie in a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction, it is difficult to focus correctly with conventional focusing evaluation functions. So a focusing evaluation method is proposed based on the edge tracking. Firstly, the edge of interest is extracted with edge tracking. For each edge point, sums of gradient square within a certain area along the edge direction are calculated and the focusing evaluation function is the sum of the sums of gradient square. When the focusing evaluation function reaches its maximum, the edge is in focus. Experimental results show that, when the edge of a work does not lie in a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction, it can be focused correctly with the proposed method.
To satisfy the requirement of preserving details in equipment geometric model simplification, a novel 3D geometric model simplification method based on preserved vision feature was put forward. In the algorithm, a new error metric rule based on the geometric importance (including the length of the edge and the vertical curvature) and change error of a half-edge was proposed to determine the order of edge collapse in 3D geometric model simplification. And then, a vertex micro-adjusting algorithm was adopted to modify the local details of the 3D geometric model. Experimental results show that the proposed simplification method is practical and convenient, and can effectively preserve model details and obviously improve model distortion in 3D geometric model simplification.
Moving cast shadow usually is misclassified as foreground. In order to solve the problem, a novel method is proposed to detect moving cast shadow based on energy minimization. Firstly, the stationary background and moving objects could be obtained by the traditional pixel-wise method. Then, the color and texture invariance of cast shadow is employed with the temporal-spatial coherence to construct the energy function through Gibbs energy. Finally, moving cast shadow and foreground are segmented accurately through minimizing the energy function. The method is tested with some videos including moving shadow and the results show that the proposed method excels previous methods both in indoor and outdoor scenes.

By simulation experiment and comparison with other arithmetic, the validity and superiority of the method are proved.
A profilometer was developed for micro-nano structure profile testing on the basis of interferometry and micro vision system. A Linik interferometer was adopted in this profilometer, in which the scanner and the phase shifter were integrated through scanning the reference mirror.

A method of feature extraction which is composed of invariable moment functions and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is presented in order to recognize and classify the surface defects of strips. First, a 22-dimensional eigenvector which was invariable was extracted from images when the image was translated, scaled and rotated. And then, in order to improve the efficiency of classification, PCA was applied to reduce the dimension of the eigenvector. As a result, the 4-dimensional eigenvector was obtained. Finally, using these eigenvectors as input, weights and thresholds of the BP neural network were trained for the purpose of defect classification. Experimental results show that the average efficiency of the correct identification can reach 85%, and it’s fit for the application for detection of surface defects of strips.

The sol-gel silica films on K9 glass substrates were prepared with the dip method, and some of them were treated in saturated ammonia gas. Microcosmic surface morphology, chemical structure, refractive index and weak absorption of the films before and after ammonia treatment were respectively measured by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), infrared spectrophotometer, ellipsometer and transmission photo-thermal lens. The experimental results indicated that the porous ratio of the films decreased from 0.73 to 0.63 after ammonia treatment, and the weak absorption increased from 67.88×10-6 to 74.58×10-6. The Laser-induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) of silica films decreased from 18.0 J/cm2 to 16.9 J/cm2 after ammonia treatment. Considering the improved mechanical property of films with ammonia treatment, a trade-off is always needed between mechanical property and LIDT according to the requirement in practice.
To describe and analyze the system level noises of the thermal-mechanical optical readout uncooled infrared imaging system, a photoelectricity coupling model is presented. The photoelectricity coupling device in the model shows the noise isolation characteristic of the optical readout IR imaging system. Based on the model, the noises are partitioned into two kinds: internal noises which are from the Focal Plane Array (FPA), and external noises which are from the optical readout system. The Noise-equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) caused by internal noises is calculated to be 5.94 mK theoretically. Experiment shows that the NETD caused by external noises is 98 mK, which is close to the NETD caused by the whole noises of the system. The results indicate that the calculation of NETD caused by the internal noises is reasonable and the primary noise problem of the IR imaging system is from the optical readout system
The performance of an infrared imaging system is affected by spatial fixed-pattern noise badly due to the different photoresponse of each detector in a focal plane array for the same irradiance. A novel nonuniformity correction algorithm based on Wiener filtering is developed, which first determines an output delay for being able to use the later information of an uncorrected image, and then by depending on the front and back information of a current frame, Wiener filter is adopted to estimate the current frame for several times. At last, take the average value of the estimations as the final correction result. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated with a real infrared image, and its advantage is that it can employ sufficient information to eliminate the fixed-pattern noise.
