For the current deep learning-based target detection model to detect infrared targets in the ground background, it is easy to be interfered by complex backgrounds and insufficient attention to the target, which leads to the problem of low detection accuracy. A method of ground infrared target detection based on a parallel attention mechanism was proposed. Firstly, the parallel down-sampling method of convolution and attention was used to reduce the spatial complexity of the model and increase the training speed, while focusing and paying attention to the target features. Secondly, the multi-scale features extracted by the backbone network were fused to suppress the interference of background information and improve the accuracy of target detection through the multiplexing and complementary of different scale information. Finally, the focal loss and CIOU loss were used to improve the classification and regression accuracy of the model. The experiment results showed that the average detection accuracy of the model on the Infrared-VOC dataset was 82.2%, which was 6.9% higher than YOLOv3. At the same time, the space complexity of the model was only 32.6% of YOLOv3, and the training time was 43.7% of YOLOv3. The improvement of model training efficiency and detection accuracy was achieved..

Firstly, a set of PIR sensors placed on the ceiling and modulated by the field of view were used to collect the infrared heat radiation signal emitted by the human body when moving, and the voltage analog signal output by the sensor was filtered and amplified, and then transmitted to the PC through the ZigBee wireless module and packaged into raw data. Secondly, the two-way sensor output data of the original data feature was fused, and the fused data was standardized and packaged into training dataset and test dataset. Then, a two-layer cascaded hybrid deep learning network was proposed to be a classification algorithm of human motion based on the characteristics of the data. The first layer used one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1DCNN) to extract features from the data, and the second layer used gated recurrent unit (GRU) to save historical input information to prevent loss of valid features. Finally, the training dataset was used to train the network model to obtain a classification model with the best parameters, and the correctness of the model was verified through the test dataset. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed motion recognition technology model for basic motion classification is higher than 98%. Compared with image motion recognition or wearable device motion recognition, it realizes high-precision human motion recognition with real-time, convenience, low cost and strong confidentiality..

SAR images were highly sensitive to target azimuth, the SAR image with a special azimuth only highly correlate with those samples with approaching azimuths. The proposed method was developed based on the idea of sparse representation. First, all the training samples were sorted according to the azimuths to construct the global dictionary. Then, the sparse coefficients of test sample to be estimated over the global dictionary should be block sparse ones, that was the non-zero coefficients mainly accumulate in a local part on the global dictionary. The solved positions of the blocks effectively reflect the azimuthal information of the test sample. The block sparse Bayesian learning (BSBL) algorithm was employed to solve the block sparse coefficients and then the candidate blocks were chosen based on the minimum of the reconstruction errors. With the optimal block, the estimated azimuth was calculated by linearly fusing the azimuths of all the training samples in the block thus a robust estimation result could be achieved. The proposed method considered the azimuthal sensitivity of SAR images and comprehensively utilized the valid information in a local discretionary, so the instability of using a signal reference training sample could be avoided. Experiments were conducted on moving and stationary target acquisition and recognition (MSTAR) dataset to validate effectiveness of the proposed method while compared with several classical algorithms. The experimental results validate the superior performance of the proposed method..

It has a wide range of applications in the fields of intelligent monitoring, target detection and tracking. The two type of images are based on different imaging principles. How to integrate the advantages of each type of image and ensure that the image will not distorted is the key to the fusion technology. Traditional fusion methods only superimpose images information and ignore the semantic information of images. To solve this problem, an improved generative adversarial network was proposed. The generator was designed with two branches of part detail feature and global semantic feature to capture the detail and semantic information of source images; the spectral normalization module was introduced into the discriminator, which would solve the problem that traditional generation adversarial networks were not easy to train and accelerates the network convergence; the perceptual loss was introduced to maintain the structural similarity between the fused image and source images, and further improve the fusion accuracy. The experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to other representative methods in subjective evaluation and objective indicators. Compared with the method based on the total variation model, the average gradient and spatial frequency are increased by 55.84% and 49.95%, respectively..

Aiming atInfrared sensing technology effectively handle the problem of night observation, which is becoming an important measure for battlefield reconnaissance. Continuously improving the ability of target recognition based on infrared images was a powerful way to implement precision strikes and situational awareness. Aiming at the problem of infrared image recognition, a Zernike feature selection algorithm based on Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) was proposed, combined with Sparse Representation-based Classification (SRC) to complete the target category confirmation. Firstly, based on the target area in the infrared image, multi-order Zernike moment features were extracted to characterize the essential characteristics of the target to be recognized; Secondly, the LGBM feature selection algorithm was used to screen the multi-order moment features twice to reduce redundancy and improve the pertinence of features; Finally, the final selected Zernike moment feature vector was classified based on SRC. The method effectively improves the effectiveness of the final features through the feature selection of LGBM, at the same time reduces the computational complexity of classification, which was beneficial to improve the overall recognition performance. The publicly available mid-wave infrared target image data set was used to carry out verification experiments to distinguish and identify 10 types of typical military targets. The experiment was carried out under the three conditions of original samples, noise interference samples and partially missing samples, and compared with several types of existing infrared target recognition methods. The results show that the proposed method can achieve better performance and prove its effectiveness..

Sumei Xue, Yuyu Tang, Xiaoxian Huang, and Jun Wei
The wide-field space camera with off-axis and three-reflection structure had large optical distortion, which led to the image motion blur during push-broom imaging of the plane-array detector with time delay integration (TDI) technology. According to the principle of TDI imaging degradation caused by distortion, the diThe wide-field space camera with off-axis and three-reflection structure had large optical distortion, which led to the image motion blur during push-broom imaging of the plane-array detector with time delay integration (TDI) technology. According to the principle of TDI imaging degradation caused by distortion, the distortded image motion blur was converted into non-uniform motion blur, and the initial blur kernel was solved by fitting the image motion path, which was used as prior information to establish a semi-blind restoration model to further refine the blur kernel. Using the rough image edge restored by the initial blur kernel to guide the refinement, a multi-directional weight-heterogeneous total variation model was proposed to extract image structure information. In order to enhance the constraints of prior information on the refinement of the blur kernel, a regular term containing the initial blur kernel was constructed, so that the estimation of the blur kernel did not depend excessively on the image content, and a multi-scale iterative method was used to solve the problem. Finally, a regularization-constrained non-blind deconvolution method was used to remove image blur. Experimental results show that the compared with several existing deblurring algorithms, the deblurring effect of the proposed method is not only clear and natural, but also more stable in the estimation of the blur kernel of different sample images..

For infrared small target detection, an infrared small target detection algorithm based on dehazing enhancement and tensor recoTo solve the problem that it is hard to find the nonconvex approximation of tensor rank by using nuclear norm in infrared patch tensor model, the obtained non optimal solution further affects. For infrared small target detection, an infrared small target detection algorithm based on dehazing enhancement and tensor recovery is proposed. Firstly, the improved dark channel algorithm is used to dehaze and enhance the infrared image, which improves the definition and indirectly enhances the low rank of the background in the infrared image; Secondly, the matching tensor frontal slices are selected to construct the infrared patch tensor model. Under the framework of tensor singular value decomposition, the detection task is transformed into tensor recovery problem; Finally, a fast algorithm is designed to recover the low rank components and sparse components in the infrared image, which is simple and reduces the complexity of the algorithm. Compared with the methods of filtering and human visual system, the false detection rate of the algorithm in complex background is reduced by 16.6% on average. In common highlighted background areas, the detection performance is good, and the false detection rate can be reduced by 33%. Experimental results show that the algorithm can be applied to complex scenes and eliminate potential false alarm points..

Then, in the fusion process of low frequency sub-bands, the impTo improve the visual effect and time efficiency of infrared and visible image fusion, the source images were decomposed into a series of high and low frequency sub-bands with the same size and different scales by Finite Discrete Shearlet Transform (FDST). Then, in the fusion process of low frequency sub-bands, the improved spatial frequency was used as the input excitation of Pulse Coupled Neural Network(PCNN), and the link strength was dynamically adjusted to change adaptively according to the image features, which fully preserved the feature information of image contour and edge. In the fusion of high frequency sub-band, the strategy of regional average energy contrast was used to fuse, which highlighted the information such as texture and details as much as possible. Finally, the image with clear background and prominent target was reconstructed with the processed high and low frequency sub-bands by using FDST inverse transform. The experimental results show that the improved fusion method can present the background and target in the image more clearly and comprehensively, compared with other algorithms, and performs the best subjective and objective indicators with the highest operation efficiency..

Here the authors reported the application of the terahertz (THz-TDS) mapping of the electrical conductance of Cu alloy sample matrix fabricated using high throughput solid state synthesis method. Fast detection of 144 Cu alloy thin films on a single materials library chip were achieved. The mapping technique was based on an algorithm derived from Tinkham equations and Fresnel formula. The THz conductance acquired from alloy thin films of either uniform or continuous gradient thickness agreed semi-quantitatively with those determined with four-probe method. Distinctive conductance differences among the 144 Cu alloy samples were obtained within one batch. Further analysis of the changing trends in the microstructures and semi-quantitative compositions of representative samples against their electrical conductance revealed a clear composition-structural-function relationship. This study demonstrated that THz-TDS may be a powerful tool for fast high throughput screening of Cu alloy materials library chip, and facilitate the R&D procedure substantially..

The traditional radiation temIn the process of high temperature thermal experiment in aerospace, metallurgical casting and other industrial fields, it is necessary to obtain the high temperature on the shelter surface of the test piece quickly and accurately under the condition of high concentration of diffuse medium. The traditional radiation temperature measurement methods include band radiation method, brightness method, colorimetric temperature measurement method, multi-wavelength temperature measurement method and so on, which is the main measurement method to realize high temperature measurement. Due to the effect of medium particles, diffuse medium will produce various spectral scattering, absorption and emission effects, which will bring great interference to the accurate measurement of high temperature and lead to deviation of measurement results. It is necessary to improve classical radiation thermometry. Several main radiation thermometry methods under the condition of diffuse medium were discussed, including experimental data inversion method, thermal radiation calculation method, multi-channel split window method, information recovery calculation method, and neural network calculation method. The advantages and disadvantages of various methods were analyzed, and the challenges and development trends of radiation thermometry methods under the condition of diffuse medium were summarized..

An accurate mathematical model via Runge-Kutta Difference and FDTD finite element method was constructed to characterize the time-space evolution of the quantum vortex gyrotron polariton system. On this basis, the influence of some key parameters related to pump light, signal light and semiconductor microcavity materials on the evolution characteristics of the quantum vortex gyroscope exciton polariton condensate was studied. For the pump light and signal light, the light intensity and geometric size of the annular spot were considered. Meanwhile, the effect of the microcavity material on the exciton polariton system was converted into the effect of the effective mass on the BEC system through mathematical transformation. By scanning a lot of parameters, some key factors affecting the performance of the quantum vortex gyroscope were obtained, including the geometric parameters and intensity of the pump light, the related influence of the pump light and the signal light, and the material properties of the semiconductor microcavity. The relationship between material properties and superposition state evolution of quantum vortex gyroscope was calculated by characterizing the relationship between effective mass and properties of different microcavity materials, and the range of reasonable values for effective mass was found to be narrow. These works provided an important reference for the engineering prototype development of the quantum vortex gyroscope..

Aiming to the needs of high-speed and high-precision ranging system, a high-speed digital phase detection method based on the Vector Inner Product (VIP) method was studied. The phase detection performance of the VIP method was simulated and tested in terms of the number of phase detection calculation points, phase detection calculation speed, and phase detection accuracy. The simulation and experimental results were compared with the traditional digital frequency domain phase detection method (Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) method), which show that the VIP method has higher phase detection speed and phase detection accuracy. When the signal modulation frequency is set as 50 MHz, based on high-speed sampling board, the measured phase detection accuracy is better than 0.1°, the ranging accuracy is within 0.2 mm, the phase detection processing speed of the VIP method is 3 times faster than that of the DFT method under the circumstance with the same number of calculation points. Referring to the high phase detection accuracy and fast phase detection speed, all the analysis data show that the VIP method has the significant advantages, which is suitable for the high-speed and high-precision laser ranging systems..

The Master Oscillator Power Amplification (MOPA) technology, which combining the seed laser and the amplifying structure, not only enables features of the output pulse laser are consistent with that of the seed laser (pulse width and repetition frequency, etc.), but also ensures the amplification of the output laser energy. Thus, MOPA technology becomes the main technology in laser amplifier based on engineering applications. In this subject, a laser amplifier based on a sub-nanosecond microchip solid-state laser was developed in response to the demand for sub-nanosecond high-energy laser amplifiers in medical cosmetology. Firstly, a sub-nanosecond passive Q-switched microchip solid-state laser was used as the seed source. The seed source laser has a repetition frequency of 10 Hz, a pulse width of 487.3 ps, and a wavelength of 1064 nm to output seed light with an energy of 190 μJ. Then two self-made xenon lamp-pumped Nd:YAG modules were used as the main amplifier to amplify the sub-nanosecond laser pulse energy. The energy generated from the self-oscillation in the amplification process was suppressed, and the energy transfer efficiency during the amplification was increased effectively. Finally, a switchable output with wavelengths of 1064 nm and 532 nm was obtained. When the repetition frequency was 10 Hz, a sub-nanosecond laser output with a pulse width of 496.4 ps, a pulse energy of 561 mJ@1064 nm, 330 mJ@532 nm, an energy stability of 2% and a uniform spot were obtained..

Qi Wang, Yongming Qian, and Shulian Zhang
The change of the polarization state of a HeNe laser is observed when the cavity length is increasing, it is found that one of its polarized state is always bright, and the other polarized state is always dark. Only in process of mode conversion, the latter has opportunity to oscillate but extinguish immediately, and aThe change of the polarization state of a HeNe laser is observed when the cavity length is increasing, it is found that one of its polarized state is always bright, and the other polarized state is always dark. Only in process of mode conversion, the latter has opportunity to oscillate but extinguish immediately, and at the same time their power changes of light intensity in the opposite direction. The phenomenon above shows that there is strong competition between two modes of dual-polarized state as well as the mode jump occurs in the process of mode conversion, but there have been no specific report on this phenomenon. The longitudinal mode characteristic and the change of dual-polarized light intensity curve before and after frequency difference modulation of laser were studied. From the analysis, it is found that gain medium being only monoisotope Ne is the reason which cause the polarization abnormality of the orthogonal modes, and the influence of the monoisotopic Ne on mode competition was also expounded..

Yingchao Wan, Baolai Yang, Xiaoming Xi, Hanwei Zhang, Yun Ye, and Xiaolin Wang
It is generally believed that the transverse mode instability (TMI) of fiber laser mainly comes from the thermal effect caused by the quantum defect of the pump source and the pump absorption of gain fiber. Theoretically, based on the analysis of the heat source in optical fiber, it was found that the thermal effect ofIt is generally believed that the transverse mode instability (TMI) of fiber laser mainly comes from the thermal effect caused by the quantum defect of the pump source and the pump absorption of gain fiber. Theoretically, based on the analysis of the heat source in optical fiber, it was found that the thermal effect of induced mode instability mainly comes from pump absorption, followed by the quantum defect. And the simulation software SeeFiberLaser developed by the research group was used to verify the conclusion. The simulation results showed that the lower the pump absorption coefficient, the lower the maximum temperature and temperature gradient in the fiber, the more beneficial it was to restrain the formation of thermally induced refractive index grating and increase the TMI threshold. Experimentally, a co-pumped ytterbium-doped fiber laser oscillator with a core/inner cladding diameter of 30/400 μm was built and comparatively studied on TMI threshold characteristics of lasers pumped by laser diodes (LDs) with central wavelengths of 976 nm, 915 nm and 940 nm. The results showed that when 976 nm LD, 915 nm LD and 940 nm LD were used as pump sources, the laser TMI threshold was 279 W, 502 W and 697 W respectively, and the laser optical-to-optical (O-O) conversion efficiency was 67.7%, 61% and 63%, respectively. It was be found that the influence of the pump absorption coefficient on the TMI threshold was greater than that of the quantum defect on the TMI threshold, and the TMI threshold could be effectively increased by changing the pump wavelength and reducing the pump absorption coefficient. Optimizing pump wavelength, taking into account both quantum efficiency and pump absorption coefficient, was one of the important technical routes for fiber lasers to achieve high beam quality and high mode instability threshold..

Firstly, the velocity structure function was constructed from the wind speed data obtained by lidar; Then, the eddy dissipation rate was fitted, and then the eddy dissipation rate was constructed as a pixel data set. The data set was input into the CNN model composed of two convolution layers, two fully connected layers, one softmax layer and several activation functions for turbulence identification.

Hao Zhou, Qingzhou Mao, and Qingquan Li

The efThe ranging accuracy of full-waveform LiDAR, also known as ranging repetition accuracy or ranging standard deviation, is affected by laser output light stability, laser pulse width, detector response time jitter, circuit noise, waveform shape, waveform sampling frequency, waveform processing algorithm and so on. The effects of different sampling frequencies and pulse widths of full-waveform LiDAR on ranging accuracy were analyzed theoretically. The waveform data under different sampling frequency (1.25, 2.5, 5 GHz) and pulse width (1, 2, 3,···, 10 ns) were collected and preprocessed by filtering, interpolation and waveform extraction. Linear Gaussian fitting, weighted linear Gaussian fitting, iterative weighted linear Gaussian fitting, expectation maximization algorithm and Levenberg Marquardt algorithm were used to calculate the ranging value and the ranging accuracy. The experimental results show that the ranging accuracy obtained by EM algorithm is least affected by waveform distortion compared with the other four algorithms, and that the ranging accuracy obtained by weighted linear Gaussian fitting algorithm is least affected by the change of sampling frequency. Under the condition of the same waveform amplitude, the actual pulse width increases 2.47 times, and the ranging accuracy obtained by EM algorithm is reduced from 0.97 mm to 1.18 mm, so increasing the pulse width will reduce the ranging accuracy. When the optical pulse width is 4 ns, the ranging accuracy of 5 GHz sampling frequency data obtained by EM algorithm is 1.71 and 3.07 times of that of 2.5 GHz and 1.25 GHz sampling frequency data, respectively, while when 2.5 GHz and 1.25 GHz data are interpolated 2 times and 4 times to 5 GHz, they are only 1.17 times and 1.29 times, so increasing the sampling frequency can improve the ranging accuracy. On the other hand, the ranging accuracy close to the high sampling frequency data can be obtained by interpolating the low sampling frequency data..

However, the continuous online preparation technology of metal-coated fiber is still in the research and development stage in China, which directly leads to the failure of large-scale continuous production of metal-coated fiber, and to a certain extent, limits the rapid development of high-power fiber lasers in China. An on-line fabrication device of metal-coated fiber based on molten metal condensation coating method was proposed and developed. Coupling with the fiber drawing tower, it can realize metal coating while drawing, and the coating thickness can be controlled. Aluminum coated fiber with uniform coating, good surface quality and stable diameter had been successfully fabricated. The influences of fiber inlet temperature, liquid aluminum temperature, mold aperture and contact distance on the coating quality of metal coating were discussed. By theoretical analysis and practical experiment, the optimum temperature of aluminum liquid is 663-690 ℃, and the linear decreasing relationship between the thickness of coating and the temperature of aluminum liquid was obtained. The relationship between drawing speed and cooling distance was calculated. The optimal aperture size of screw of ceramic upper and lower die and the contact depth between optical fiber and liquid aluminum were given. The research results provide a solution to the problem of mass production of metal-coated fiber and lay a foundation for breaking the international technology monopoly..

Bipod flexible support structure based on kinematics principle has good adaptability to mechanical and thermal environment, and has been more and more applied in mirror support of space optical remote sensor. In order to effectively remove the assembly stress, the Bipod flexible supporting structure is usually connected to mirror by optical glue. But there is inevitable shrinkage stress in the curing process of optical glue. In addition, the fluctuations of the ambient temperature and the thermal vacuum test could lead to additional force change, which will have an adverse impact on the shape of the mirror. In this paper, the influence of glue shrinkage on the surface shape of a Bipod flexible support secondary mirror assembly was analyzed. Aiming at the surface shape decline after vacuum deflation test, the combination of stress relief and hot immersion was used to effectively solve the surface shape decline problem, so as to provide technical support for the space environmental application of this kind of optical glue..

The proposed algorithm and traditional one both required sinusoidal fringe patterns of three frequencies, but the number of fringe patterns was reduced to 5, that was, 3 fringe patterns of the highest frequency, and one for each of the other two frequencies. Compared with 9 fringe patterns of the traditional algorithm, the projection and capture efficiency was increased by 44.44%. The principle of the proposed algorithm was derived. Three fringe patterns of the highest frequency were used to directly obtain the wrapped phase, and the other two fringe patterns were used to unwrap the phase. In theory, the proposed algorithm owned the same accuracy as the traditional one. Finally, four sets of experiments were conducted to verify the reconstruction accuracy of the algorithm, the reconstruction ability of complex discontinuous models, the reconstruction stability in different illuminations, and the reconstruction ability of color objects. The experimental results prove that the algorithm can effectively improve the measurement speed while maintaining the accuracy and adaptability consistent with the traditional three-frequency three-step phase shifting algorithm..

The improved tangent-slab approximation method was used to solve the radiative transport equation, and the influences of target and window radiation on the radiation field distribution in the shock layer were considered. Based on this, the radiation and transmission property of shock layer were deduced. Finally, the calculation model of each radiation component and proportion of the photosensitive surface was given. The property of the shock layer of a supersonic missile at an altitude of h=1 km and flight speed of Ma=3-5 was simulated and calculated. The results showed that the transmittance of shock layer in mid-wave bands is lower than that in short-wave band, but shock layer absorption can be ignored in general. The increase of flight speed leads to a broadening of the CO2 radiated noise region to the long-wave direction, and the target signal is submerged seriously by CO2 radiation noise in the band above 4.4 μm under condition of Ma≥4 and h=1 km, the filter with a cutoff wavelength of 4.4 μm is not suitable..

Firstly, the I-V test of variable area diode were performed, which confirm the dark current of InAs/GaSb superlattice longwave detector passivated by anodic sulfidization and SiO2 were mainly originated from bulk current, not from surface leakage current; Then, the dark current of InAs/GaSb longwave infrared detectors were fitted by the current model of diffusion current, generation-recombination current, direct tunnel current, trap-assisted tunnel current. The result indicate the dark current of detector was dominated by G-R current at low reverse bias (≤60 mV), while at high bias (>60 mV), the dark current is dominated by direct tunnel current. The effect of doping density of absorption layer on these two currents are analyzed, and confirm that the optimum doping density is 5×1015-1×1016 cm-3..

Infrared imaging equipment plays an important role in the terminal guidance field of hypersonic vehicles. Infrared imaging equipment is susceptible to interference from background radiation and thermal radiation from windows, and the background noise generated by the interference can easily cause imaging saturation. The imaging effects of mid- and long-wave thermal imagers were compared by experiments, high-temperature objects, the sun, clouds, sea surface, jamming bombs and rotating, high speed, high dynamics conditions. And the effects of spinel, yttrium oxide, zirconia and zinc sulfide materials' own thermal radiation on the imaging of medium and long wave thermal imaging instrument were compared, the relative attenuation rate of transmittance of windows at high temperature was obtained by testing. The comparative analysis show that the long wave thermal imager has advantages in anti-interference, and the zinc sulfide material has the advantages of low radiation, high transmittance and good pressure resistance. Mid- and long-wave comparison tests provide reference and support for the selection of working wavebands and window materials, and have reference value for the subsequent design and research of mid-long wavelength dual-band systems..

A large amout of storage and computing overhead has alse become the biggest obstacle to the deployment of such algorithms in hardware platforms.The neural network model quantization uses low-precision fixed-point numbers instead of high-precision floating-point numbers in the original model, which can effectively compress the model size, reduce hardware resource overhead, and improve model inference speed on the premise of losing less precision. Most of the existing quantization methods quantize the data of each layer to the same accuracy, while mixed-precision quantization sets different quantization accuracy according to the data distribution of different layers, aiming to achieve a higher model accuracy under the same compression ratio, but finding a suitable mixed-precision quantization strategy is still very difficult. Therefore, a mixed-precision quantization strategy based on error limitation was proposed. By uniformly and proportionally limiting the scaling factors in each layer of the neural network, the quantization accuracy of each layer was determined, and the truncation method was used to linearly quantize the weights and activate to low-precision fixed-point numbers. Under the same compression radio, this method had higher accuracy than the unified precision quantization method. Secondly, the classical object detection algorithm YOLOV5s based on convolutional neural network was used as the benchmark model to test the effect of the method. On the COCO data set and VOC data set, compared with the unified precision quantization, the mean average precision (mAP) of the model compressed to 5 bits was improved by 6% and 24.9%..

A weighted bidirectional cyclic featurAiming at the problem of reliable detection and accurate recognition of high dynamic aerial targets by infrared detectors carried by hypersonic vehicles in complex background, an aerial polymorphic target detection method based on deep spatial-temporal feature fusion was proposed. A weighted bidirectional cyclic feature pyramid structure was designed to extract the static features of polymorphic target, and switchable atrous convolution was introduced to increase the receptive field and reduce spatial information loss. For the extraction of temporal motion features, in order to suppress the complex background noise and concentrate the corner information into the moving region, the feature point matching method was used to generate the mask image, then the optical flow was calculated, and the sparse optical flow feature map was designed according to calculation results. Finally, the temporal features contained in multiple continuous frame images were extracted by 3D convolution to generate a 3D temporal motion feature map. By concatting the image static features and temporal motion features in channel dimension, the deep spatial-temporal fusion could be realized. A large number of comparative experiments showed that this method can significantly reduce the false recognition probability in complex background, and the target detection accuracy reached 89.87% with high real-time performance, which can meet the needs of infrared targets intelligent detection and recognition under high dynamic conditions..

Firstly, the mean value characteristics of target and neighborhood in real infrared images was analyzed. Then, the difference between the target area and the inner and outer bilayer neighborhood was calculated, so as to improve the local contrast of bright and weak small targets and suppress complex background and noise. Finally, an adaptive threshold segmentation algorithm was used to obtain the target location. Aiming at the problem that signal-to-clutter ratio gain and background suppression factor were difficult to objectively evaluate the performance of target enhancement and background suppression of infrared image sequences, a target trajectory saliency graph evaluation method was proposed to evaluate the target detection performance of infrared image sequences effectively. Experimental results showed that compared with similar detection methods, the signal-to-clutter ratio gain and background suppression factor of this method were increased by 12% and 10%, respectively, and the running time was shortened by about 34 ms. Therefore, this method is an effective and feasible method for high dynamic infrared small targets detection..

To deal with the challenges of target detection with airborne in high dynamic air to ground background, such as dynamic scene change, large background interference intensity and unknown target motion law, a novel incremental inertial navigation information assisted air to ground infrared dim moving target detection algorithm was proposed. To solve the drift error problem of traditional inertial navigation information prediction, the concept of incremental inertial navigation information was put forward. The location prediction model of incremental inertial navigation information (LPI) was designed and the accurate prediction of the target point was achieved. A moving target detection framework was constructed based on inertial navigation information assistance and background difference, which corrected the images under different positions and attitudes by LPI. The cross correlation matching algorithm based on mountain climbing method was introduced to calculate the translation parameters, and Gaussian weighting was used to estimate the background. The dim moving target could be detected by adaptive threshold segmentation. The simulation experiments verified the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed detection algorithm..

For the platform with limited computing resources, a new lightweight convolution structure was proposed. Asymmetric convolution was introduced to enhance the feature expression ability of standard convolution, reducing the amount of parameters and computation effectively. A lightweight feature extraction unit was constructed by designing parallel multi-feature path, which generated rich features through channel concatation, then combining with attention module and channel shuffle. SkipBranch was added to promote the transmission of shallow information to the high level and further enrich the characteristics of the high level. Experiments on FLIR dataset showed that the accuracy of the designed lightweight network structure was 81.7%, which exceeded YOLOv4-tiny.

Firstly, the Whale optimization algorithm was improved by Tent chaotic map and control factor chord change. The position directivity of the algorithm was improved when the position was updated, and the global search ability of the algorithm was enhanced. At the same time, the reentry trajectory optimization problem was transformed into the parameter optimization problem of the control profile, and a one-time reversal strategy of the inclination angle was proposed. The Planck formula was used to calculate the infrared radiation of the stagnation point, and the objective function was designed. The resistance acceleration was used to enter the corridor to deal with the path constraint. The penalty function method was used to combine the terminal constraint with the objective function. Finally, the improved Whale optimization algorithm was used to optimize the parameters of the designed control profile to obtain the optimal solution of the objective function. The simulation results showed that the improved whale algorithm can effectively complete the reentry trajectory optimization task with the minimum total infrared radiation, and has strong global search ability and good robustness..

With the development of missile weapons to supersonic and hypersonic, the working environment of infrared imaging detection devices is worse. The structure safety of infrared windows faces great challenges because of the severe aerodynamic thermal environment in high speed flight. The radiation interference of high-temperature radiation sources such as shock wave and window seriously affects the infrared detection ability. The transmission effect of flow field and window reduces the detection and guidance accuracy.
