The common method for the estimation of IFOV is described. A new method which uses the maximum distance between two neighboring petals as the estimated value of IFOV is developed and a comparison between the common method and the new method is given. It is concluded that the minimum allowed value of IFOV of rosette scanning is over estimated by the common method while this value can be calculated accurately with the new method.展开更多

For detecting doping micro particles with the designed mosaic line-scan camera, a detection algorithm of the target＇s location in FPGA is proposed. Finally, the practicability and stability of the system were validated experimentally. The results of the experiment show that the camera can get images clearly with less light loss and can accurately distinguish the target and the background.展开更多

The simulation of orbit under atmospheric drag perturbation are given with expanded Kalman filtering. The large field of view star sensor has the same precision as star sensor and a sufficient filed of view. Therefore ,the refraction stars can be observed more accurately in real time. The geometric relation between the refracted starlight and the earth can be determined by tangent altitude of the refraction starlight. And then the earth center can be determined in satellite body frame. The simulation shows that the precision of the mean square deviation of satellite’s position and velocity is 5m and 0.01m/s respectively. The calculated decrement of the semi-major axis in one day is close to the theoretical result, and the absolute error is in the range of decimeter when the altitude of orbit is 750 km. The simu- lateion of orbit of different initial semi-major axis shows that the higher the altitude of orbit is, the smaller the dec- rement of the semi-major axis is, and when the altitude of orbit is 1700 km the decimeter of the semi-major axis is 10-7 km.展开更多

The radiation field emitted from an artificial lamp was measured and is introduced in this paper, and the optimized experiment project is discussed. It is demonstrated that the minimum size allowed of the lamp is determined by both the field of view （ FOV ） of optical instrument and the measuring distance from the lamp. Some problems that might influence on the experiment result often occur for a simple fluorescent lamp, such as instability, spatial nonuniformity, light divergence, effect of lamp temperature, etc. By the analysis of the light radiation, three kind of measures are proposed to control the quality of the experiment, i.e. keeping consistency of lamp size with FOV of instrument, calibrating in situ downwind, and conducting measurement in effective range. Among them, the downwind calibration is the key step to overcome most problems arose by the lamp. The experiment indicated that the reliable results can be obtained only when the optical measurement is coordinated with the radiation field of artificial lamp. The measured radiation property of the lamp was used to advise the field experiment to minimize measuring error. As the experiment by artificial lamp was the first attempt in the Arctic Ocean, the experience given by this paper is a valuable reference to the correlative studies.展开更多

文摘The Underwater Communication Link(UCL)is a crucial component of Underwater Wireless Optical Communication(UWOC)systems,requiring optimised design to mitigate the high power attenuation inherent in seawater.To ensure the reliability of an optimal UCL design,it is essential to account for the three primary scattering regimes:forward scattering(FSC),backward scattering(BSC),and isotropic scattering(ISC)in seawater channels.This study introduces a new photon-tracking model based on a discrete equation,facilitating Monte Carlo Simulation(MCS)to evaluate how different scattering regimes influence received photon distribution.Three distinct Scattering Regime Contribution Weight(SRCW)probability sets were employed,each representing different UCL operational configurations dominated by specific scattering regimes.The proposed modeling approach enables a comprehensive assessment of the temporal characteristics of received optical pulses,channel loss,and time spread-ultimately defining the optimal UCL design parameters.The key findings of this study include:(1)Enhancing the FSC regime dominance leads to a quasi-light waveguide effect over link spans and small Fields of View(FOV)<25°,significantly improving channel performance in Harbor seawater compared to Coastal seawater.(2)A well-designed UCL with a small FOV(<25°)can minimise channel loss and time spread,ensuring high capacity and efficient performance in both Coastal and Harbor seawaters.(3)When BSC and ISC contributions exceed FSC dominance,the received optical pulse undergoes significant temporal broadening,particularly for larger FOV angles(>25°)and extended link spans.(4)The developed novel MCS-based discrete equation provides a simple yet robust model for simulating photon propagation in both homogeneous and inhomogeneous underwater channels.These insights contribute to developing more efficient and reliable UCL designs with military standards by enhancing UWOC system performance over a longer linkspan for a given limited optical power across various underwater environments.
文摘The methods of estimating the minimum allowed value of IFOV (instantaneous field of view) of the detector in a rosette scan system are investigated. The common method for the estimation of IFOV is described. A new method which uses the maximum distance between two neighboring petals as the estimated value of IFOV is developed and a comparison between the common method and the new method is given. It is concluded that the minimum allowed value of IFOV of rosette scanning is over estimated by the common method while this value can be calculated accurately with the new method.

文摘Imaging an object through a scattering medium poses a significant challenge,especially when the object's size is larger than the isoplanatic region.To handle this,introducing multiple measurements or some priors is common sense,but it will fail when facing a time-varying scattering medium.Although the recent technique,correlation holography(CH),provides a way to alleviate this issue,its limited field-of-view(FOV),caused by the space-bandwidth product(SBP),presents a new challenge.Here,we propose a single-shot,non-iterative method termed Kramers–Kronig relations-based correlation holography(KKCH),capable of tracking and imaging moving objects within a large FOV,even in a dynamic scenario.The presented scheme utilizes the same setup as conventional CH,yet significantly enhances the imaging FOV and achieves a more efficient carrier-to-signal power ratio(CSPR)and a higher signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).Finally,numerical simulations further confirm its strong robustness against noise and uneven illumination,highlighting its imaging potential in low-light conditions and stability in complex environments.Simulations and experimental results validate the effectiveness of our method.

文摘Because single line-scan camera loses light in the edge of the sensor when the field of view is large, a mosaic cam- era based on field programmable gate array （FPGA） is presented by putting multiple cameras arranged in a straight line to share the field of view and reduce the view angle of every camera. For detecting doping micro particles with the designed mosaic line-scan camera, a detection algorithm of the target＇s location in FPGA is proposed. Finally, the practicability and stability of the system were validated experimentally. The results of the experiment show that the camera can get images clearly with less light loss and can accurately distinguish the target and the background.

文摘In this paper we investigate self-organized phenomena such as lane formation generated by pedestrian counter flow in a channel.The lattice gas model is extended to take the effect of walkers in the opposite direction into account simultaneously when they are in the view field of a walker,i.e.,walkers tend to follow the leaders in the same direction and avoid conflicts with those walking towards them.The improved model is then used to mimic pedestrian counter flow in a channel under periodic boundary conditions.Numerical simulations show that lane formation is well reproduced,and this process is rather rapid which coincides with real pedestrian traffic.The average velocity and critical density are found to increase to some degree with the consideration of view field.

文摘In this paper, an autonomous orbit determination method for satellite using a large field of view star sensor is presented. The simulation of orbit under atmospheric drag perturbation are given with expanded Kalman filtering. The large field of view star sensor has the same precision as star sensor and a sufficient filed of view. Therefore ,the refraction stars can be observed more accurately in real time. The geometric relation between the refracted starlight and the earth can be determined by tangent altitude of the refraction starlight. And then the earth center can be determined in satellite body frame. The simulation shows that the precision of the mean square deviation of satellite’s position and velocity is 5m and 0.01m/s respectively. The calculated decrement of the semi-major axis in one day is close to the theoretical result, and the absolute error is in the range of decimeter when the altitude of orbit is 750 km. The simu- lateion of orbit of different initial semi-major axis shows that the higher the altitude of orbit is, the smaller the dec- rement of the semi-major axis is, and when the altitude of orbit is 1700 km the decimeter of the semi-major axis is 10-7 km.

文摘A winter optical experiment by an artificial lamp was conducted in the Amundsen Bay of Arctic Ocean from November of 2007 to January of 2008. The radiation field emitted from an artificial lamp was measured and is introduced in this paper, and the optimized experiment project is discussed. It is demonstrated that the minimum size allowed of the lamp is determined by both the field of view （ FOV ） of optical instrument and the measuring distance from the lamp. Some problems that might influence on the experiment result often occur for a simple fluorescent lamp, such as instability, spatial nonuniformity, light divergence, effect of lamp temperature, etc. By the analysis of the light radiation, three kind of measures are proposed to control the quality of the experiment, i.e. keeping consistency of lamp size with FOV of instrument, calibrating in situ downwind, and conducting measurement in effective range. Among them, the downwind calibration is the key step to overcome most problems arose by the lamp. The experiment indicated that the reliable results can be obtained only when the optical measurement is coordinated with the radiation field of artificial lamp. The measured radiation property of the lamp was used to advise the field experiment to minimize measuring error. As the experiment by artificial lamp was the first attempt in the Arctic Ocean, the experience given by this paper is a valuable reference to the correlative studies.
