One of the main limitations to CCD-Based system is the time delay in the control loop of Fast Steering Mirror (FSM). The stability of closed loop and its bandwidth is entirely dependent on this term. Time delay is usually difficult to compensate. Therefore, a tentative approach to the implementation of a CCD-based tracking control system with a simple PI-PI controller is proposed. The controller is to add an integrator into PID controller, resulting in two integrators in the control loop of fast steering mirror. First, a detailed model of CCD-based tracking loop is designed to analyze the characteristic of the close loop system, and then the results of parameters for the PI-PI and I controller are given. At last, the performance of the closed loop system with the two different controllers is compared. Although the bandwidth of error attenuation with PI-PI controller is little smaller than that of I controller, the error attenuation at low frequency is enhanced greatly. The experiment results are in great accordance with the theoretical analysis.

    The structure resonance perhaps causes the unstable system, which limits the tracking precision and the dynamic response speed of an airborne opto-electronic platform servo system. According to the zero-pole assignment principle, an active disturbance rejection controller is designed with a nominal control input. The active disturbance rejection controller is used to compensate the stable loop structure resonance of the opto-electronic platform servo system. Simulation experiment results demonstrate that the controller could inhibit the structure resonance influence on the servo system and increase the stable loop velocity tracking precision of the opto-electronic platform. Moreover, it is robust to the parameters’ changes of the structure resonance model.

    Testing on theodolite tracking control system is very important for the theodolite development. The function structure of the simulation test system was established. Real-time Workshop (RTW) was used to realize the tracking control algorithm fast. The virtual target motion scenes, which accord with the theodolite imaging character and effect and satisfy various simulation test demands, were rendered real-time based on the visual simulation technology. The practical applications show that this simulation test system can be used to test theodolite tracking control system and solve the limitation of traditional indoor test methods. It is not only convenient and fast, but also targeted and repeatable. The test system is quite useful to analyze and design theodolite tracking control system.

    During terminal guidance phase of electro-optical precision-guided weapons, basic inverse compositional template matching algorithm can not deal with robust target tracking in high-dynamic environment due to its theoretical limitations. An inverse compositional tracking algorithm using multi-resolution motion prior is proposed to deal with this problem. The novel method divides tracking problem into two phases of off-line training and on-line tracking. During training phase, multi-resolution priori error Jacobian matrices are obtained according to the principle of “coarse-to-fine”. Using this priori knowledge, the new tracker can achieve robust tracking without increasing on-line computation complexity. Comparative experiments confirm the good convergence properties of the algorithm under high-dynamic environment. Meanwhile, the algorithm also has a good stability against the disturbances of target image rotation, scale and illumination changes, etc.

    Binocular Multi-FOV Sun-photometer (BMFOVSP) is used to measure the optical properties of cirrus. In order to solve the localized problem of traditional sun-photometer tracking sun inaccurate by using four-quadrant detector when the cloud is in homogeneous, image tracking system of BMFOVSP is developed by using image processing technology to track sun. The all-weather and full automatic sun tracking in the absence of drizzle is achieved by adopting the double modes tracking technology with the combination of both calendar-check tracking and image processing technology tracking. The tracking accuracy is higher than one minute of angle. The system fits BMFOVSP for measuring the optical properties of cirrus. It also can be applied to other occasions which require high sun tracking accuracy. Gross structure, system principle and the design of imaging unit are introduced. The methods of both calendar- check tracking and image tracking are represented in detail. The reliability and stability of system are analyzed.

    Nonlinear transmission and supercontinuum generation with femtosecond pulse in a new designed high birefringence photonic crystal fiber are numerically simulated and analyzed by using split-step Fourier algorithm. The influences of the center wavelength, the peak power, the half-width and the polarization direction of the input pulse on supercontinuum are discussed in detail. It is shown that the supercontinuum could be broadened to an ultra-wide wavelength range of 550-2200nm. If the center wavelength of the input femtosecond pulse is close to that of the inflexion of the dispersion curves, the spectrum will be up to the widest range. The generated supercontinuum becomes wider with increasing the peak power and the pulse half-width of the input pulse. The width of the supercontinuum will become narrower if the input polarization direction gets away from both principal axis directions. Accordingly the new designed high birefringence photonic crystal fiber could be effectively applied to the generation of ultrabroadband supercontinuum.

    Angular velocity measurement error exists in swaying motion Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG), which constrains FOG strap-down system’s performance under severe angular motion. Based on automatic control theory and FOG’s closed-loop control scheme, the reason for FOG’s swaying error was analyzed and found out that the angular acceleration is the main factor for FOG’s swaying error. Then a simplified FOG’s swaying error model was built up and the compensation algorithm was proposed. Finally, according to the equivalent input principal, it is experimented to test and compensate FOG’s swaying error under different swaying frequencies. Test results show that the compensation algorithm has the capability of reducing FOG’s swaying error by an order of magnitude.

    Lacking of local or global extrema in the area of the sea and sky of the image causes the failure of the traditional Bi-dimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition (BEMD). The frequency characteristic of BEMD is analyzed, and the construction method of the high-frequency assisted signal is given. The high-frequency assisted signal is added to the original video image signal, and then we obtain the closest frequency components to the assisted signal of the original signal by subtracting the decomposed intrinsic mode component (IMC) to the assisted signal of IMC. Moreover, the different frequency components of the original signal can be obtained. Solving the problem of lacking of local or global extrema of the maritime image, this assisted signal BEMD is applied to the enhancement of maritime degraded image, and the acquired result is consistent with that of the currently accepted HE’s algorithm.

    A novel seam-line removal method based on curve fitting is put forward. Firstly, the proposed method modifies the gray value around the original seam-line by curve fitting. And then the texture massage is added to the pixels which are obtained by the process of curve fitting. This step is aimed to avoid the character loss of gray changing. Thus, the gray value can change smoothly and the texture character can be remained as well. Finally, the result image with good sense of sight is got after weighted fusion and fine adjustment. Apart from that, a method for confirming the correction width is proposed according to the average gray difference between the two sides of the seam-line, and it is proportional to the gray difference. Experiment results show that the method is effective and easy to be realized. In addition to the elimination of sudden change in gray, the texture character of this method is better saved than that of the common methods. The seam-line is eliminated smoothly and the visual effect is good. The proposed method is also applicable especially when the difference of gray is above ten.

    A blurriness metric method based on Maximal Oriented Gradient (MOG) is proposed. In this method, a set of filters are used to get oriented gradient maps from original image at first. Then, oriented masking is used to suppress gradient values. At last, a set of MOGs, which is extracted from the suppressed values, are used to predict the blurriness of the original image. Experiments of algorithm consistency and sensitivity show that new method has a good performance, and experiments on cross-distortion data prove that the proposed method is stable and applicable.

    According to the ability of limited decomposition directional subband and difficult to suppress noise based on the traditional multi-scale analysis, a multi-focus image fusion method based on Surfacelet transform and composite incentive model is proposed. Original images are decomposed by Surfacelet transform to obtain a number of different frequency band sub-images. A composite incentive model is built based on the characteristics of the low frequency sub-band and high-frequency sub-band coefficients, namely improved-sum-modified-Laplacian and spatial frequency are selected as external stimulus of compound PCNN. Fusion coefficients are preferred by compound PCNN and the results are improved. The experimental results show that grayscale distribution of the fusion image is more dispersed and coherent image texture details are outstanding. The algorithm overcomes the traditional multi-focus image fusion defects, and the objective evaluation indexes show that this method is superior to that of Laplace, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and PCA traditional image fusion methods.

The two GPU-based approaches were tested in simulation signals and real signals by scanning a tissue-mimicking phantom respectively.Experimental results show that the GPU-based Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC) implementation is about 42 times faster than that based on CPU platform with the same elasticity image quality. At the same time, the GPU-based Phase Zero Estimation (PZE) approach is about 65 times faster than that corresponding implementation on CPU by increasing data throughput.

    To overcome the undesirable shakes of a camera and to implement the image stabilization in a real time, a digital image stabilization approach based on local feature points was proposed. Local feature points have been widely investigated in solving problems in image processing, pattern recognition and computer vision, such as feature matching, object detection, target tracking and image navigation. First, the Harris algorithm is proposed to select key points in the image sequence where image motion happened due to vehicle or platform vibration, and Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC) matching algorithm is used to match local feature points between reference frame and current frame, here, a novel bi-directional search strategy is proposed to extract the more robust feature points. Second, the Random Samples Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is adapted to eliminate the wrong matching points, and the reserved matching feature point is taken into affine motion model to yield global motion vector. Finally, jitter parameters are extracted from global motion vector, and original image sequence is compensate. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DIS approach can process affine motion of image sequence fast and efficiently, accuracy lower than 1 pixel, and have a better robustness. This approach can be used in moving vehicle cameras system.

By modulating the pupil of the imaging system, the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the system has showed defocus-independent. Therefore, the loss of system’s imaging information is avoided meanwhile the depth of the field is enlarged. Finally, the large depth of field system is simulated by Zemax as well as the traditional optical system. From the experimental results, we can draw the conclusion that the binary phase mask has successfully extended the depth of field of imaging system with a higher resolution.

    Application value of the Gaussian beam with flat-top shaping and some main shaping methods were introduced. Because of the advantages of aspherics, aspherics shaping method was studied, Fermi Dirac function was chosen as a flat-top beam distribution model, and the relationship between its flat-top distribution and the characteristic parameters was analyzed. By analyzing aspherics shaping principle theoretically, according to the law of conservation of energy and ray tracing function, aspheric surface form expression was deduced. Considering the processing factors, the effects of system parameters on the spherical degree was analyzed. And then, by choosing appropriate parameters, MATLAB software was used to solve numerical solution of mapping relation and surface shape curve and fit to get aspheric coefficient. By using ZEMAX optical software to make system modeling, the output beam of light intensity distribution and propagation characteristic could be gotten through the physical optics propagate-POP simulation. As a result, output beam of the flat-top quality is close to the expected effect, and its error mainly comes from numerical calculation accuracy and edge diffraction.

    The high refresh rate and more gray information are very important for using PWM to achieve grey level, such as full color LED screen. The standard LED display control system either realized good gray and the low refresh rate, or realized the high refresh rate and not achieving full gray information. A mean field segmentation method is proposed to achieve high intensity high refresh rate. To a certain extent, though brightness efficiency, about 10%~30% is reduced, gray display effect can be better improved and high dynamic refresh rate can be reached at the same time.
