The current traditional phase unwrapping algorithm has entered the platform stage. Deep learning for phase unwrapping research methods were used and better experimental results were obtained. This study proposes an improved U-Net phase unwrapping method, adding the channel attention module after the residual block, and uses deep separable convolution to replace part of the traditional convolution. This study uses a large number of analog phase maps generated by random matrix as data training sets to achieve the purpose of phase unwrapping, and has solved the problem that optical path is inconvenient to obtain a large number of data sets. The proposed method is used to unpack different experimental holograms, and compared with the results of other unpacking algorithms, the experimental results show that the edge of the proposed method is smoother and the background is flatter. The structural similarity index of the experimental test set and the Discrete Cosine Transform unwrapping results increased from an average of 0.932 to 0.973, and the peak signal-to-noise ratio increased from an average of 21.60 to 29.18.
The zero-frequency component (ZFC) distributes widely and carries no phase information of the object in off-axis hologram, which significantly reduces the signal-to-noise ratio and thus decreases the accuracy of the reconstruction result. To suppress ZFC, existing methods need record multiple holograms or suffer from manually adjustment of hologram decomposition layer to achieve optimal results. Laplace operator is also used to suppress ZFC but it is difficult to extract the +1 level. To overcome these problems, a Hilbert-Huang transform based method is proposed that only needs one hologram and avoids manually adjusting the layer of decomposition. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the frequency spectrum of the hologram processed by the proposed method is compared with the frequency spectrum of the hologram without ZFC suppression, the hologram suppressed with Haar wavelet transform and Laplace operator. Three regions in the corrected phase maps of the holograms are randomly selected to obtain the standard deviations and sectional diagram. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress the ZFC and performs better than other two methods.
With around 70% of the earth's oceans and seas, there is a huge amount of resources beneath the surface to be explored, exploited and utilised. However, due to the complexity and variability of the underwater environment, it is not easy to explore and discover the underwater world. The introduction of polarimetric imaging, with its multi-dimensional polarisation vector information compared to traditional optical imaging techniques, has attracted much academic attention and has led to a boom in the development of underwater polarimetric detection and processing techniques. When imaging underwater targets, the large number of particles and some soluble materials in the water column can cause absorption and scattering of light, resulting in severe attenuation of light energy entering the receiver, resulting in blurred and poor quality underwater images that are difficult to achieve for practical applications. The polarization characteristics of underwater targets under different illumination are the research content of this paper. CMOS cameras are used to polarize objects of different materials under different light sources. The polarisation information is fused to combine the advantages of the different polarisation vector images, and finally the image is enhanced using the Laplace edge enhancement technique to recover the degraded image.
In order to solve the challenge of freeform surface measurement, a large-range laser differential confocal sensor with high precision was constructed. Based on the principle of laser differential confocal focusing, the sensor uses normalized single-point focusing model to eliminate the influences of the surface reflectivity and tilt of the capsule. A non-equidistant fractional-order accumulation model is used to predict the focus position and achieve fast tracking and focusing. The aerostatic linear guideway and PZT are combined to expand the axial scanning range. The experiment results show that the axial resolution of the sensor is better than 3nm and the measured surface tilt angle can reach 22°. The axial scanning range can reach 50mm and the zero-crossing standard deviation of the differential curve is 5.7nm, which has good repeatability. The sensor provides a new method for measuring the profile of freeform surface.
The accuracy of mode field analysis directly affects the performance of devices based on liquid crystal optical waveguides (LCOWs). The following procedures were used to accurately solve the mode field distribution in LCOW, with a dielectric tensor being graded along one dimension. The anisotropic magnetic field coupling equations of liquid crystal are discretized by the finite-difference method, under the case that the gradient characteristic of liquid crystal field-induced reorientation has been considered. Then, the eigenvalue equation that can accurately solve the modes in the LCOW is obtained by improving the traditional difference operator matrix. Finally, a numerical example is given to compare the solution results with the coupling relationship between the field components in the eigenmode, which is to verify the effectiveness of the proposed mode solver.
A miniature industrial endoscope system based on biprism and single camera is proposed, which can obtain two views of the same scene at the same time, and display on single-frame CCD image. By establishing the system structure parameter model, the influence of the measurement range on the system measurement error is analyzed. The result shows that, in the close measurement the system measurement range is small and the error is small. As the measurement range becomes larger, the error will also become larger, and the error changes gently along the straight line ω1=ω2. Using this system to measure the grid size of the high-precision calibration board, the measurement error reaches the order of microns, and the average error is 2.06%, which meets the needs of industrial applications. The system has simple operation, compact structure and relatively few parameters. It has certain guiding significance for the structural design and application of industrial endoscope.

Radiation monitors using Al2O3∶C as sensitive material have advantages of small size, high sensitivity, online remote annealing capability, etc. Accurately measuring OSL spectrum of Al2O3∶C not only helps to better understand the energy level distribution and luminescence mechanism of Al2O3∶C, but also guide the design of luminescence collecting and measuring system. Two different methods, direct measurement and dichroic measurement, are used to accurately measure the OSL spectrum of Al2O3∶C, and the results consistent with each other. The obtained spectrum has a peak shape, centered at ~414nm and with a full width at half maximum of ~62nm, and the long-wavelength side decreases more slowly. The broadband luminescence centered at 414nm (corresponding to energy of 3.0eV) is attributed to radiative transition from the 3P excited state to the 1S ground state of F-center. The dichroic spectrum measurement method designed can completely eliminate the influence of high-density reflected stimulating light, which can also be used in measurement of spectrum of other OSL materials.
The phase-shifting interferometry technique is widely used in wavefront detection interferometers due to its high measurement accuracy. The phase shift error is the main source of error in measurement process. Based on a self-tuning phase-shifting interference algorithm, the accuracy of wavefront phase restoration is studied under calibration errors and random phase shift errors. For the calibration error, the algorithm can accurately calculate the actual phase shift step size,thus greatly improving the phase restoration accuracy.Compared with the classic five-step Hariharan algorithm, the simulation results show that the phase restoration PV (Peak-Valley) and RMS (Root Mean Square) error response of this algorithm is lower, and its PV error response is much lower than 10-3λ, where λ is the center wavelength of the light source, while the Hariharan algorithm is on the order of 10-3λ. Based on the phase solving process of the self-tuning algorithm in phase shift calibration error, the algorithm is extended to be more suitable for random phase shift error. Within the same 20% random phase shift error range, the absolute value of the deviation from the Hariharan algorithm calculation result is close to 10-9λ, which can achieve high restoration accuracy. The self-tuning algorithm is used in the measurement of the surface topography by the interferometer. The experimental results show that compared with the Hariharan algorithm, the self-tuning algorithm can obviously suppress the ripple error when there is only calibration error. There is a deviation in the surface PV. In a small vibration environment, the phase restored by the two algorithms are highly consistent.

Wide-angle lenses are generally used in photoelectric measurement systems with large fields of view, which will cause serious distortion problems in the obtained measurement images. In order to accurately calibrate this type of large-distortion camera, the radial distortion division model and the corner sub-pixel coordinate extraction method are used to first solve the image distortion center coordinates and distortion parameters. and then uses the two-dimensional plane checkerboard marker points and The corresponding relationship of the image points is used to solve the homography matrix, and then the internal and external parameters of the camera are further solved according to the homography matrix. After solving the relevant parameters, use the Levenberg-Marquardt method to iteratively optimize the solved parameters, and then based on the iterative optimization, the reprojection error data is eliminated according to the 3σ rule. Calibration is performed until all data meet the requirements, and finally high-precision correction of large-field-of-view distorted images can be achieved. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, calibration experiments on simulated images and actual images are carried out . The results show that this method can appropriately improve the calibration accuracy. In the actual experiment, the average mean square reprojection error is reduced by 0.0103 pixels, which is equivalent to improving the correction error accuracy by 0.7%.

To address the errors introduced by the indiscriminate use of the grayscale values of the pixel points within the window in the stereo matching process of SAD, First the super-pixel segmentation method of Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) is used to process the map to be matched, and the segmentation results are combined with the distance between the neighboring pixel points and the center pixel point within the window to assign appropriate weights to the grayscale values of the pixel points within the window in the SAD stereo matching process; Subsequently, the Census stereo matching process is performed, and the matching results of the two algorithms are adaptively fused; Finally, post-processing processes such as left-right consistency detection and occlusion point filling are performed on the Initial parallax map.
