A new test method based on a Computer-generate Hologram(CGH) was presented for precisely testing off-axis aspheric surfaces and aligning the optics in tests. In this method, off-axis aspheric surfaces were tilt-translated and tested as an on-axis freeform optics to minimize the wavefront compensation and to reduce the relative aperture of the test setup. A software was developed to design the CGH to implement three kinds of diffractive sections,i.e. compensating wavefront in null test, alignmenting the optical path by adjusting the relative position between CGH and interferometer, and projecting fiducial marks around the optics. As an example, a typical off-axis aspheric surface with a figure error less than λ/50 rms was tested in this method. Results indicate that the CGH design error is better than λ/10 000 rms and the total error is better than λ/100 rms.These data agree well with the test result with null lens. The experiment also verifies the feasibility of alignment and fiducial sections and demonstrates that cross-lines projected by CGHs can be used as fiduciary to guide the alignment of the optics and measure the off-axis distance.

The dependence of the Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR) and Modulation Transfer Function(MTF) on the integnation stages was discussed.Then, it points out that increasing integration stages can resolve the lack of exposure light energy and improve SNR,but it causes the image MTF reduced. However,increasing gains can also resolve the problem of lack of exposure light,and it makes the SNR and the imaging MTF unchanged.

An infrared small target detection algorithm combined with temporal and spatial domains is put forward. On the basis of the background change slowly, the algorithm firstly confirms the object region based on the third central moments of frame difference, and decomposes the frame difference image by nonsubsampled Contourlet transform to define the energy coefficients of the sub-band images. Then the image based on the energy value of each pixel is obtained. Finally, the final detecting of the target is realised according to the different features of small targets, backgrounds and noises. The results indicate that the small infrared target detection based on nonsubsampled Contourlet transform can precisely detect the small infrared target and has better target detection performance. When the small targets with invariable and moving backgrounds are detected, the detection rate of the proposed algorithm can reach 98% and 97% and the mean of false alarm points is only 0.05 and 0.17, respectively.It concludes that the proposed algorithm can detect the small target when the target has fast or anomalistic movement.

In the low frequency block coding method, the Difference Pulse coding Modulation(DPCM) is firstly used to reduce coefficients' dynamic range. Then, a modified bit plane coding method is used to output the bit stream. In the high frequency block coding method, the proposed modified Set Partitioning in Hierarchical trees(MSPIHT) algorithm is used to code three high frequency blocks respectively with their thresholds.The MSPIHT optimizes the outputted bit stream by using a type of A set judge, reduces memory requirement and avoids memory dynamic management by eliminating the lists of SPIHT algorithm.Moreover,the MSPIHT avoids repeated calculation in scanning process and enhances the coding efficiency by adopting MMVS. Experiment results show that the bit-rates of all international standard testing images have reduced more than 1.4 bit/pixel and the coding speed has increased more than three times as compared with that SPHIT. It is concludes that the proposed algorithm is super in real-time performance, low memory requirement and fit for hardware implementation.
