    Aiming at the threat of active laser detection system for electro-optical devices based on “cat-eye” effect in battle field, a new method is put forward to eliminate “cat-eye” effect by using circular holes array’s intensity modulation. Based on the principles of single hole’s diffraction imaging process and spatial translation effect, intensity distribution characteristic of far-field Fraunhofer diffraction for circular holes array is deduced and then simulated. The stealth effect of “cat-eye” target is proved by experimental method by using circular holes array without changing the optical structure of electro-optical device. The results show that the echo intensity of “cat-eye” target can be modulated by circular holes array, which causes echo energy’s loss, while the effect on imaging quality is finite. “Cat-eye” target’s stealth effect is remarkable by this method.

    In order to improve the ground pixel resolution, the image motion compensation device system should be designed to compensate image motion of the CCD plane in the area scan color CCD camera. An image motion compensation mechanism is designed based on analysis of several kinds of image motion compensation methods and discussion on image motion compensation device. Constant-diameter conjugate cam is used to translate the rotation to the line movement. It has the advantages of simple transmission chain and microscopic operation and can reduce the transmission error effectively. The factors that affect the accuracy of image motion compensation are studied and equivalent residual image motions of the compensating system are measured. The measuring results show that the focusing mechanism has a high precision and the error is less than 600 μm/s.

    The velocities of particles in Electrorheological (ER) fluids were measured by laser speckle velocimetry. It was verified that laser speckles could be formed by illuminating laser beam on the starch ER fluids. The speckle patterns was recorded with high speed CCD camera, and the speckle patterns sequences with short time intervals was obtained by intercepting laser speckle video. Velocities parallel to the direction of electric field and that perpendicular to the direction of electric field were obtained by processing the two consecutive speckle patterns. The experimental results show that the velocities of particles decreases oscillatorily with time. Furthermore, there is a critical electric field and a critical sample concentration. When it is lower than this critical electric field (particle concentration), the mean particle velocity increases; otherwise, it decreased.

    Because of focus changing when TFT inspection device performing auto focus, the resolution of device will inevitably changes. So there is a need to offer a fast estimation method for device’s actual resolution. Since total resolution is the product of camera resolution and lens resolution, at first, camera contrast limit is set up based on all kinds of noise model. Then, LCD white and black bar fringe are used whose frequency changes gradually to estimate lens MTF degeneration. Finally, through relationship between resolution and contrast, the spatial cut through frequency can be calculated by differentiating imaging system’s light dark blur smallest differences at highest camera contrast distinguish condition. Experimental results indicates that when using optic inspection device to examine cell phone background light panel's defects, article's method estimates the actual resolution less than 17 μm , in contrast test, the calibrated sample defects exceeds 17 μm can be photographed clearly using device. The results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    Grain shape is an important feature, which determines the grain quality and yield. Traditional manual determination of grain shape is time-consuming, laborious and subjective. A system for automatically determining the grain shape is presented based on a line-scan camera and a coveyor belt. In order to improve the grain shape determination efficiency, parallel processing technique based on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is used. On the basis of Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), the grain shape determination algorithm is optimized. The experiment result shows that the GPU-based accelerated algorithm can achieve a good effect on the measurement efficiency. When the number of grain in an image is approximately 2 000, the optimized algorithm gets a speedup of more than 400 times. Moreover, as the quantity of kernels in the images gets larger, the performance of the grain shape determination algorithm is improved more significantly.

    Laser tracker distance measurement accuracy depends on the accuracy of laser Interferometer Measurement(IFM) and Laser Absolute Distance measurement (ADM). Based on the current technology, IFM measurement accuracy is much higher than ADM measurement accuracy. So the ADM measurement error needs to be compensated in order to improve laser tracker measurement accuracy. The compensation method of cubic spline function and linear function is compared and analyzed. The results show that the residual error of cubic spline function compasation method is 0.007 mm, which is much better than that of linear function method (0.029 mm). The verification points also show the same result. The conclusion is drawn that cubic spline function can be used to better correct ADM error of laser tracker.

    The principle of the random ball test technology is introduced. There are two types of random ball test technologies. One is called static method; the other is called dynamic method. The relation between calibrating error and the number of measurements in these two methods is analyzed separately. Based on statistics and reasonable assumption, the analysis shows that static method is one of the special dynamic methods. In both of these two methods, the calibrating error drops off as N-1/2 with the number of measurements increases. The experiment of random ball test is done using dynamic method. The experiment result shows that the calibrating error drops off as N-1/2 with the number of measurements increasing approximately.

    Gaussian radial basis function is usually applied as the kernel function of the kernel fisher discriminant analysis (KFD) in face recognition application. However, the parameter σ of the kernel function has a great impact on the classification. At present, the parameter is usually selected based on experience, and the process of KFD costs too much time for dealing with a large number of samples. To solve these problems, a method of face recognition is presented based on wavelet transform and improved KFD. It employs wavelet transform to compress the data of face image. And it applies PSO algorithm to automatically obtain the parameter to enhance the ability of classification when KFD is employed to complete feature extraction. Finally, support vector machine is used for classification. Numerical experimental results show that the method has a better operational efficiency and more accurate recognition rate than the traditional method of KFD.

    A series of feature extraction algorithms based on locality preserving projection were proposed. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm must be firstly used for high-dimensional samples when these algorithms are applied in such as face recognition. Therefore,using unsupervised discriminant analysis algorithm as the theoretical basis,a direct unsupervised orthogonal locality preserving algorithm is proposed. Through the corresponding matrix decomposition according to the properties of the Laplace matrix, the projection matrix can be directly extracted from the original high-dimensional space without first using PCA algorithm processing and the proposed algorithm can solve the small sample size problem. To further improve the recognition performance, the orthogonal projection matrix obtained based on QR decomposition is given. Experimental results on face database and palmprint database demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The fingerprint image has different frequency component, low, medium and high frequency. The fingerprint image compression algorithm based on graded frequency is proposed. The low frequency sub-image, which contains the most energy, is encoded by lossless Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM). The medium frequency sub-image, which contains less energy, is encoded by Embedded Zero-tree Wavelet (EZW). The high frequency sub-image, which contains the least energy, is encoded by Set Partitioning Embedded Block Coder (SPECK). The experimental result indicates, compared with the other image encoding method, the presented algorithm improves the compression ratio by about 21.4 percent and fidelity by about 6.25 percent in conditions of ensuring reconstruction quality.

    The absorption spectrum, upconversion fluorescence spectrum and infrared absorption spectrum of Er3+-doped bismuth-germanate glass, which was prepared by conventional high-temperature melting-annealing method with the heavy metal oxide composition of Bi2O3-GeO2-PbO, are investigated, and the research focus is on the upconversion fluorescence mechanisms of Er3+ under the 975 nm and 800 nm laser excitation. The results show that the green and red emission centered around 529 nm, 552 nm and 667 nm, corresponding to the 2H11/2→4I15/2、4S3/2→4I15/2 和4F9/2→4I15/2 transitions of Er3+, respectively, are simultaneously observed under the 975 nm and 800 nm laser excitation. A two-photon upconversion process is assigned to the green and red emission. Compared to the 800 nm laser excitation, a more intense upconversion fluorescence can be obtained under the 975 nm laser excitation, and the green emission intensity is greater than that of the red emission, which indicates that the bismuth-germanate glass is a more promising glass host material applied to the green upconversion.

    A blind robust image watermarking algorithm against row shifting was proposed, which used district points to design a revision method for resistance against row shifting to estimate row shifting number and turn row shifting into cropping. Firstly, at the embedding end, an original image was split into non-overlapping blocks. Then, a watermark was inserted by adjusting the numerical value of pixels from four columns in each block. Secondly, at the detection end, the revision method for resistance against row shifting was imposed on the watermarked image suffering from attacks. Then, a watermark was blindly extracted through pixel value comparison and majority judgment rule. The proposed algorithm has good invisibility and can achieve blind extraction. Moreover, the proposed algorithm has strong robustness against row shifting, since it adopted the revision method for resistance against row shifting. Experimental results also show that the proposed algorithm has strong robustness against common signal processing like Gaussian low-pass filtering, cropping, salt&pepper noise adding and Gaussian noise adding.

    APEX Blind Image Restoration (BIR) is hardly real-time applied in image processing due to its slow speed, instability and the multi-input parameters process. Considering these limitations, according to the very important property in the image restoration process that there is a strong asymmetry between the dimensionality of the image and the Point Spread Function (PSF), the multi-region parameters estimate (MRPE) process is proposed, and the rationality of the MRPE process was proved by the Maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) estimate theory, and the feasibility of the multi-estimate process is illuminated by the experiments. Through the MRPE process method, the precision of the parameter estimation and usability are improved, and validity of the algorithm is validated by the experiments. This method is fast and robust, and can be applied for the low level noisy Gauss class blur image real-time image restoration.

Secondly, Local Binary Pattern Histogram Fourier (LBP-HF) feature is applied to remove non-text areas which have the similar characteristics in wavelet domain. Experimental results demonstrate that verification procedure based on LBP-HF is effective, by which the error detection rate is reduced greatly for complex background text detection.

    A new 2D-histogram called 2D-WLDH is proposed. At the same time, a new image thresholding method based on 2D-WLDH and maximum between-cluster variance is proposed. Moreover, the corresponding fast recursive algorithm is deduced. Regional division of the proposed 2D-WLDH can avoid the shortcomings of the traditional 2D histogram. The probability of the target and background of the image can be accurately estimated by calculating the small normalized Weber Local Descriptor (WLD) value. The experimental results show that, compared with the existing corresponding algorithm, the proposed fast recursive algorithm for maximum between-cluster variance threshold selection based on 2D-WLDH, achieves better segmentation quality, which obtains uniform regions, accurate borders and robust noise resistances. Furthermore, the running time of the proposed algorithm reduces by about 84.93%.
