Juncheng Tang, Xianmei Qian, Xikui Miao, and Yong Chen

It is found that astigmatism and coma aberrations can restrain and promote the axis-scintillation to some extent, respectively. Stronger coma and astigmatism aberrations can forward and delay the appearance of scintillation saturation, respectively. The distribution of intensity deviates from log-normal distribution when turbulence strength is weaker. It is close to log-normal distribution when the intensity of turbulence rises. The skewness of the intensity distribution is less than zero and its kurtosis is greater than zero basically. Under weak or moderate turbulence intensity, the distribution of intensity fluctuation is always determined by aberrations when the aberration is big enough, however, the effects of turbulence play the main role on the distribution of intensity fluctuation and the aberrations mainly affect the fluctuation distributions of weak intensity areas when the weight of aberration is small. The strong turbulence influences the probability distribution of intensity fluctuation mostly, and the distribution fits to log-normal distribution approximately..

Analyticall expressions of the far-field lighBased on the angular spectrum representation of partially coherent beams and the method of stationary phase, the far-field light intensity and divergence angle properties of nonparaxial partially coherent beams with nonconventional spatial correlation structure are studied. Analyticall expressions of the far-field light intensity and divergence angle of nonparaxial Bessel-Gaussian Schell-model (BGSM) beam diffracted by a circular aperture are derived. The properties of the far-field light intensity and divergence angle of the BGSM beam are illustrated numerically by the expressions. The results show that the far-field light intensity and divergence angle properties of the nonparaxial BGSM beam are obviously different from that of nonparaxial Gaussian Schell-model beam, and are closely related to the spatial correlation structure, beam waist width, coherence length and aperture radius in light source plane of the beams. Modulating the spatial correlation structure of the beam provides a novel way to modulate the propagation properties of nonparaxial partially coherent beam in the far-field..

Yayun Dong, Duyan Bi, Linyuan He, and Shiping Ma
Most of the existing single image dehazing algorithms are on the basis of local priors, and there is block effect in dehazing results. The image artifacts are augmented at heavy haze regions, if there is no special treatment. For example, the noise and color overlap which are almost invisible in the original haze imageMost of the existing single image dehazing algorithms are on the basis of local priors, and there is block effect in dehazing results. The image artifacts are augmented at heavy haze regions, if there is no special treatment. For example, the noise and color overlap which are almost invisible in the original haze image are enhanced after dehazing, and affect the quality of the dehazing images. In order to eliminate these disadvantages, a novel image dehazing algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the non-local prior is adopted to estimate the initial transmission. Then, a regularized method is used to optimize it, the L1/2 norm of gradient difference of original image and dehazing image is used as regularization term to suppress the noise interference. The results show that the proposed algorithm can recover the details and color effectively, and has better robustness than the local prior methods..

To solve this problem of environmental adaptability of sea sky line detection in complex background, a sea sky line detection method is proposed based on the image edge phase encoding. The principle of bilateral filter is used to preserve the image edges and filter out the high frequency noise, and the edge response is enhanced by the Laplace of Gaussian. The edge phase encoding is enhanced and the noise of the system is restrained combined with the Gaussian-Kernel directional filter. Then, the optimized sea sky line is detected by the analysis of cumulative response intensity of scan line in phase component and the difference of pixel intensity distribution mode in sea sky region. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect the sea sky line in different complex backgrounds, and has low computation complexity and strong environmental adaptability..

Because of the huge data volume of 3D image, the speed of data transmission and processing is very slow. The safety and speed of 3D images transmission has become the primary problem. An optical image hiding technique using fully optical means is proposed, which utilizes the parallelism of optical technology and the theory of compressive sensing to greatly reduce the acquisition time and data volume, it provides the possibility of future 3D image secure transmission. Firstly a secret scene or image is embedded into a host image to perform optical image hiding by using a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Then the hidden image is compressed to a much smaller signal data using single-pixel holographic compression imaging. At the received terminal, the hidden image is reconstructed well via compressive sensing theory and a specified holographic reconstruction algorithm. The preliminary experimental results and numerical simulations show that it is effective and suitable for optical image security transmission in the coming all-optical network for the reason of the completely optical implementation and largely decreased holograms data volume..

The proposed method possesses the feature of edge preserving and extracting ability of directional information, and can capture the useful information from the source images more effectively. The low-frequency subbands, which are obtained by the multi-scale directional guided filter, include the low-frequency approximation components and strong edge components. These components are separated by Gaussian filter. The low-frequency approximation components and strong edge components are fused based on convolutional sparse representation and adaptive regional energy, respectively. The detail directional subbands are fused via a strategy combined saliency and guided filter to preserve the spatial consistency. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method could effectively extract the target feature information and preserve the background information of the source images. The fused results have better subjective visual effect and objective evaluation criteria..

Due to this problem, a correction method research based on radiometric calibration is conducted. A theoretical model for correction is deduced according to the flow of signal processing. A correction method is proposed based on weighted least square, which needs to acquire three sets of image data in 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 saturation. Three sets of correction parameters are fitted by weighted least square using Gaussian weighting function to achieve the optimized parameters. The experimental verification is carried out using a TDI CCD imaging system. The results show that the photo response non-uniformity reduces from 4.09% to 0.85%, which is better than 1.93% obtained by two-point correction method. And it has a good performance in wide response range with advantages of high precision and good practicability. This method can be applied in many kinds of airborne or spaceborne camera payloads and lay the technical foundation to achieve high-quality remote sensing image data..

This micro-polarizer array has high non-uniformity and large influence on image quality. Aiming at this problem, we improve the mathematic model of pixel-level vector transfer matrix measurement algorithm based on the structure of the nano wire grating and the polarization transfer theory. Combined with the matrix least squares algorithm, a number of measurements are established to fit the optimal transfer matrix algorithm, and then the core calibration parameters are provided for pixel-level non-uniform calibration of the polarization camera. Considering the structure of the nano wire grating, a calibration algorithm with high spatial resolution is proposed. The non-uniformity of polarization camera decreases from 2.00% to 0.26% after calibration. On the outfield experiment, the information entropy of the target polarization image rises from 5.34 to 15.15. The results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively correct the non-uniformity of the nano wire grating and improve the quality of polarization image..

However, the existing DL 3D SAR imaging methods which used for cross-track profile reconstruction are based on the single measurement vectors (SMV) model and has defects of time-consuming and noise-affected. Based on the multiple measurement vectors (MMV) model, the order of cross-track and along-track in the DL 3D SAR imaging process are exchanged. By using the same sparse structure in cross-track domain for different along-track measurements, the DL 3D SAR imaging method based on MMV model is proposed. The proposed method is superior to the SMV-based method both on time-consuming, reconstruction accuracy and anti-noise performance, and the effectiveness is verified by the simulation experiments..

The new constant is calculated This work aims at covering the shortage of the complex measurement procedure of nonlinear two-line atomic fluorescence (NTLAF), and a new calibration method based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is proposed. First, three calibration constants are combined into one. The new constant is calculated by an iteration of the fluorescence intensity and TDLAS real-time path integral temperature. Finally, the temperature profile is deduced. Numerical simulations for the calibration of NTLAF temperature by TDLAS are performed. The influence of temperature profiles and initial values is analyzed. The precision of the simulation results is almost equivalent to that obtained by conventional point-wise temperature calibration methods, and the uncertainty is within 5%. Different temperature profiles have little influence on this calibration method. A proper initial value will always result in the same final value..

In order to avoid the influence of stray light on the inversion of high-precision quantitative parameters, special analysis, measurement and correction should be carried out in the laboratory. According to the characteristics of the optical system of the directional polarization camera, the stray light which affects the instrument is divided into local stray light and global stray light. The causes and performance characteristics of these two kinds of stray light are analyzed emphatically. On this basis, the stray light model of the instrument is constructed, and the method of obtaining the stray light coefficient matrix by partition of the illumination for correction the image is proposed. In the cases of unsaturation and supersaturation, by dividing the rectangular area and the two-dimensional rotation scanning imaging of the field of view, the relationship between the amount of radiation in the target area and the amount of scattered light in other non-target areas is established. Finally, the 11×11 regions of the stray light coefficient matrixes are obtained. The image is corrected according to the measured stray light coefficient matrixes. The results show that this correction method can eliminate at least 90% of stray light..

Based on the analysis of the factors affecting the phase error, we establish the analysis model of fringe pattern quality and the factors such as phase error, F value of camera lens, the period of coded fringe pattern, and modulation. The reliability and correctness of the proposed model are verified by computer simulation and experiment. The results of theoretical analysis, simulation, and experimental results show that the contrast ratio of the obtained fringe pattern is proportional to F value of the camera lens and the period and the modulation of the fringe pattern. The sinuousness of fringe is inversely proportional to F value of the camera lens and the period and the modulation of the generated fringe pattern. According to the proposed fringe quality analysis model, high quality fringe pattern can be obtained by optimizing the system parameters. The proposed model can apply to other techniques, such as surface-structured light three-dimensional measurement..

Results show that the system can control the temperatures of the two lasers simultaneously. The accuracy of this system can reach -0.011-0.015 ℃ and the response time is less than 3 s. The stability of the temperature controller is tested. The temperatures of the two lasers can stay stable after operation for 6 h, and the emitting peak wavelengths are stable in spectrum test for 10 h. For its tiny size, low cost, capability to be integrated, great stability as well as reliability, the temperature control system has great application prospect in mixed gas detection..

Firstly, a scene flow calculation model considering the camera pose is established to represent the motion vector of the objects. Secondly, the method of constructing virtual map points is proposed. On the one hand, the motion object detection can be complied according to the virtual map points and the scene flow, on the other hand, the virtual map points ensure that there are still enough matched point pairs to estimate the pose when the proportion of the moving objects in the image is too large. Finally, the feature points in the current frame will be matched with the local map points and the virtual map points, and according to the matching results, the nonlinear optimization model considering the virtual points is constructed to estimate the camera pose. It can not only ensure that the static map points do not match with the feature points of the motion object, but also avoid the failure of the visual odometry when the effective point pairs are too few. The results of the dataset experiment and the online experiment in the actual scene show that the proposed method improves the robustness and accuracy of the visual odometry in the dynamic scene..

Besides the regular factors that have adverse influence on visual target tracking, infrared target tracking is faced with other difficulties as well, such as lack of edge and texture information, low signal-to-noise ratio and background clutter. An infrared target tracking algorithm based on histograms of sparse coding (HSC) and the distractor-aware model (DAM) is proposed, which exploits K singular value decomposition algorithm to obtain an overcomplete dictionary. With the dictionary, sparse code of every pixel is computed to compose HSC as a descriptor, and DAM is utilized to strengthen resistance against background clutter. The proposed algorithm does not only use structural information of tracked object but also eliminates the influence of background clutter. Compared with other tracking algorithms, the proposed algorithm achieves 3.8% and 4.4% enhancement on VOT-TIR2015 dataset with respect to precision and success rate, respectively, possessing high research and practical value..

Considering both problems of the joint modeling based on aerial and urban street images, we propose a matching method based on the two kinds of partial stable features. The method comprises the following steps. Firstly, we extract ASIFT (Affine Scale Invariant Feature Transform) feature points and MSER feature areas, and improve the MSER (Maximally Stable Extremal Regions) algorithm to get the two stable features described by SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) feature descriptor; secondly, we use the homography matrix to match features by the feature matching algorithm; finally, we parallelly optimize feature matching by using graphics processing unit(GPU). A large number of experiments and comparison results show that more than twice correct matching pairs can be obtained by the proposed algorithm than other two algorithms..

An anti-noise stereo matching algorithm based on the improved Census transform and outlier elimination is proposed. Firstly, at the initial match cost stage, the median of the window neighborhood is taken as the reference value and the outliers are controlled by the mapping function, which improves the reliability of the single pixel matching cost. At the cost aggregation stage, the outliers are eliminated from the initial cost value of dynamic aggregation window. Finally, the final disparity maps are obtained by disparity calculation and disparity optimization. The Middlebury benchmark images are used to test the stages of the initial matching cost, cost aggregation, and final disparity map on the VS2013 software platform. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better noise-robust performance than the existing Census transform algorithms, and the error matching rate is 5.71%..

First, the multilayer convolutional features are extracted from the target candidate area using VGG-Net-19 deep convolutional network architecture. By constructing the two-dimensional location filters by correlation filtering algorithm and fusing the multilayer convolutional features, the center location of the target is determined. Then, through the multi-scale sampling of target, the histogram of oriented gradient features are extracted to construct the one-dimensional scale filter to achieve the optimal scale estimation. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gains the best success rate and precision compared with the six state-of-the-art methods. Meanwhile, this algorithm achieves an adaptive tracking to the fast scale changing of target effectively, and possesses a fast tracking speed..

The nonlinear optimization procedure is tedious, and the internal and external parameters of the camera are coupled with the lens distortion. We present a calibration method for the binocular camera with the combination of a distortion correction and a plane homography matrix. Firstly, based on the principle that three-dimensional linear projection to the image plane is still a straight line for the image without distortion, while any two points on the right line of vectors has the same direction, the direction of the vector angle should be zero. The distortion coefficient can be solved based on this characteristics. Then the measurement matrix is constructed by plane homography matrix, and the initial values of inside and outside parameters of the camera are obtained through matrix decomposition. Finally, all parameters of binocular camera are calculated by the nonlinear optimization. Simulations and experimental results show that this method is highly stable, and has equal accuracy compared to the traditional calibration methods. It spends less time and has better efficiency than the traditional calibration methods..

The conventional feature preserving point cloud simplification method needs to calculate the differential information of all point clouds, but there is a certain deviation in the results by direct calculation with the high density or noise-containing point cloud, resulting in poor effect of point cloud simplification. The conventional feature preserving point cloud simplification method needs to calculate the differential information of all point clouds, but there is a certain deviation in the results by direct calculation with the high density or noise-containing point cloud, resulting in poor effect of point cloud simplification. We present a point cloud simplification method based on grid dynamic partitioning. Firstly, the model is divided into space grids in which the interference points are eliminated with the random sample consensus method. Secondly, the flatness value of grid is calculated by using the least squares method in remaining points, judging whether the grid needs to be subdivided according to the flatness value. Thirdly, the flat areas are achieved and pressed into large spacing grid, and the features-rich areas are divided into small grids as well. For the points in small grids, Gaussian function is introduced to reduce the weight of distant points for recognition features, and the feature points are identified by integration of the surface variation and neighborhood normal vector angle information and then retained. Points in the large grid are sampled at different sampling rates according to the grid spacing. Comparative experiments are carried out with the random sampling method, grid method, curvature method and the proposed method. It is shown that this method can maintain the fine features of model and avoid the appearance of holes, and the maximum deviation of the simplified model is 1.502 mm, much smaller than those of the other three methods. Moreover, as the noise intensity increases, the simplification error of this method is small and gentle. Under the noise condition of 35 dB, the average deviation is only 40% of those of random sampling method and grid method, as well as 50% of that of the curvature method..

The polarization imaging spectroscopy is applied more and more widely due to its ability of getting rich data information. We design an optical system of multi-slit polarization imaging spectrometer based on the double Amici prism. As a light splitting element, the double Amici prism can provide parallel beam dispersion of wide field to meet the needs of the multi-slit. We optimize the optical structure of the multi-slit based on the conventional slit imaging spectrometer. The pupil of wide field in the multi-slit spectrometer structure must match with the pupil of the front telescope. The imaging system and polarization spectrometer system adopt telecentric structure to match the pupil. The total length of the system is 279 mm. The system has coaxial optical path, and its structure is very compact. We evaluate the image quality of the optical system by using modulation transfer function (MTF) and spot diagrams. The results show that the MTF at typical wavelengths in each typical field is close to the diffraction limit, and the MIF is over 0.75 at 39 lp/mm. The spot diagram at each typical wavelength is in the Airy spot, which means that the imaging is almost perfect. Three slits correspond to three different polarization states. Polarizations information, spatial information, and spectral information of the target scene can be obtained by pushing-brooming..

The theoretical analysis and simulation results all demonstrate that the W_OTSDF filter has better recognition effect than OTSDF filter..

Properties of Graphene TE Mode Surface Plasmons and Surface Plasmon Waveguides

It is found that the TE mode is highly sensitive to the dielectric contrast between the cladding and the substrate materials on both sides of graphene in the near-infrared regime. When the dielectric contrast between the cladding and the substrate is tiny, the TE mode surface plasmons can be transmitted. As the dielectric contrast increases, the TE mode dispersion curve behaves differently. The effective refractive index of the TE mode increases obviously and the propagation loss decreases continuously. For the three-layer parallel-plated waveguide structure with graphene embedded between two dielectric medium layers, the numerical results show that the control for the TE mode is significant especially when the dielectric constants for the propagation layer and the substrate layer is close to each other. It originates from the coupling between the electromagnetic wave and graphene leading to the surface plasmons between them. The results provide a theoretical support for the design of graphene surface plasmons based optoelectronic waveguides, such as modulators, detectors, and filters..

Such beam meets the sufficient condition established by Gori, and thus it is physically realizable. Analytical expressions of the cross-spectral density function of the proposed beam passing through a paraxial ABCD optical system are derived based on the generalized Huygens-Fresnel diffraction Collins formula. The light intensity distribution properties of beams focused by a thin lens are further analytically investigated. Results show that the proposed beam exhibits extraordinary propagation properties such as self-splitting and self-shaping, and these transmission properties are closely related to the properties of the correlation function. The cosine-function factor of the total SDOC is responsible for the self-splitting behavior and the Lorentz-function factor determines the self-shaping phenomenon. It is clearly shown that modulating the non-conventional SDOC of a partially coherent beam can alter the coherence length and the degree of nonuniformity, and thus provides an effective way to manipulate its focusing properties. Therefore, the results provide an alternative method for realizing four square beam spots, and have important application prospect in the engineering field..

Three types of aircraft rotating parts echo signal are simulated according to the rotor micro-Doppler model, and the grayscale image is generated by the time-frequency distribution obtained by smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville transform. OTSU method combined with grayscale stretching is used to perform threshold de-noising on the image, and the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) feature and the Tamura feature are extracted. Feature optimization is carried out for the time-frequency difference, and finally the support vector machine (SVM) is used to classify the aircraft targets. Simulation data classification results show that the GLCM feature is sensitive to noise performance. When the time-frequency image is denoised by the proposed method and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) RSN=0 dB, the classification correct rate reaches to 96.4%. The Tamura feature has a higher classification accuracy under high SNR conditions, but decreases significantly when RSN<5 dB. Therefore, good classification performance can be obtained with the extraction of the texture feature of time-frequency image, and accurate classification of targets can be achieved by the improved GLCM feature under low SNR conditions..

A wood slice is used to absorb water to convert liquid samples analysis into solid samples analysis, which eliminates the influence of water on atomic emission as well as an optical collecting system in direct analysis of liquid samples with LIBS. Meanwhile, a beam of tunable dye laser is used to excite lead atoms in laser-induced plasma resonantly, and LIF of lead is detected to improve its spectral analysis sensitivity significantly.

Experimental results show that mitiglinide calcium leads to the fluorescence quenching of BSA, and the quenching mechanism is a dynamic quenching procedure according to the Stern-Volmer equation. The binding distance between mitiglinide calcium and BSA is calculated to be about 5.461 nm based on F rster theory. The effect of mitiglinide calcium on the conformation of BSA is studied by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. The results show that a slight blue shift is observed when the difference between excitation wavelength and emission wavelength is 60 nm. The blue shift indicates that the peripheral microenvironment near tryptophan residue of BSA is affected by the mitiglinine calcium molecule, which makes the polarity of the microenvironment decrease and the hydrophobicity of BSA increase..

The content of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) is an important index for evaluation of pork freshness. To achieve rapid and nondestructive detection of pork freshness, we use a light-emitting diode (LED) light source containing optimal characteristic wavelengths to set up a multispectral detection system by selecThe content of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) is an important index for evaluation of pork freshness. To achieve rapid and nondestructive detection of pork freshness, we use a light-emitting diode (LED) light source containing optimal characteristic wavelengths to set up a multispectral detection system by selecting optimal characteristic wavelengths related to the content of TVB-N in pork, and the content of TVB-N in pork is detected by the detection system. Firstly, a visible near infrared (VIS-NIR) hyperspectral system is applied to detect pork to acquire hyperspectral reflectance data, and then different preprocessing algorithms including the first derivative (FD), standard normal variable transformation (SNV), and other methods are utilized to build partial least squares regression (PLSR) model of the TVB-N content in pork. Secondly, some variable selection methods including the step wise algorithm (SWA), successive projections algorithm (SPA), and genetic algorithm (GA) are used to screen the characteristic wavelengths related to TVB-N content. PLSR model and multiple linear regression (MLR) model are established by these characteristic wavelengths. The model results are compared to choose optimal characteristic wavelengths. Lastly, the LED light source containing characteristic wavelengths is used in the multispectral detection system to establish PLSR and MLR models, so that the detection of TVB-N content in pork is completed. The results indicate that the screening characteristic wavelengths by using the SWA, SPA, and GA can reflect full spectral information well. The effect of the established model is good, and the number of variable decreases greatly. The LED light source containing characteristic wavelengths can detect the TVB-N content in pork well in the multispectral detection system. The results of the established MLR model are better than those of the PLSR model. The correlation coefficient and square error of calibration (SEC) set of the MLR model are 0.9050 and 3.63×10
-5, respectively, and the correlation coefficient and square error of prediction (SEP) set are 0.9040 and 3.81×10
-5, respectively.

A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) for space GaInP/(In)GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cell is designed by the optical film design software (TFCalc). The experimental results show that the reflectivity of 15-pair Al0.2Ga0.8As/Al0.9Ga0.1As DBR is 96% at the center wavelength of 850 nm. The light in the spectral range of A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) for space GaInP/(In)GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cell is designed by the optical film design software (TFCalc). The experimental results show that the reflectivity of 15-pair Al0.2Ga0.8As/Al0.9Ga0.1As DBR is 96% at the center wavelength of 850 nm. The light in the spectral range of 800-900 nm is reflected and then absorbed twice, which enhances the anti-radiation ability of the middle subcell. According to the detailed balance principle and p-n junction formation mechanism, the thicknesses of the original cell structure and the new cell structure containing the DBR are optimized. By comparing the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the original cell structure with middle subcell thickness of 2.93 μm and the new cell structure with middle subcell thickness of 1.2, 1.6 and 2.0 μm, we conclude that the influence of the battery current attenuation by thinning base can be almost made up by the new structure. By analyzing the electrical properties of the two types of solar cell structures before and after irradiation, we find that the DBR structure significantly improves the decay of the current after irradiation. The efficiency of the new structure with the middle subcell thickness of 1.6 μm is up to 24.87%, which is increased by nearly 2% than that of the original structure,close to that of the new structure with the middle subcell thickness of 2.0 μm, and significantly higher than that of the new cell structure with middle subcell thickness of 1.2 μm..

Songlin Liu, Baoxue Bo, Yixuan Zou, and Liangping Xia
A terahertz beam-splitter structure with polyester films as the support based on ultrathin metallic films is proposed, and the splitting model based on the transmission matrix theory is built. The influences of the metallic Cr films and the polyester films with different thicknesses on the reflectivity, transmissivity A terahertz beam-splitter structure with polyester films as the support based on ultrathin metallic films is proposed, and the splitting model based on the transmission matrix theory is built. The influences of the metallic Cr films and the polyester films with different thicknesses on the reflectivity, transmissivity and splitting ratio of this ultrawide-band terahertz beam-splitter are also analyzed. The theoretical results show that the splitting performance of the proposed terahertz beam-splitter is relatively sensitive to the thickness of metallic Cr films but insensitive to the thickness of polymer films. On this basis, the terahertz beam-splitters with different thicknesses of metallic Cr films are fabricated and tested experimentally. The experimental results are consistent with those from theory analysis. The structural parameters of this device with a splitting ratio of 1∶1 are determined..
