Laser radar can obtain the three-dimensional shape information of objects, which is an effective method to identify vehicle on complex ground. A fast laser radar target recognition method based on projection dimension reduction was proposed in this paper. Firstly, the suspected target area was extracted and tested from the scene. Then the digital surface model(DSM) data was obtained. Finally, the combination of contour similarity measure value and the similarity of size measurement acted as the matching recognition criteria for target recognition. The experiments were performed by using the simulated point clouds data of 8 ground armored targets. The results show that the type recognition rate of this method is above 90%, and the real-time performance is far superior to the traditional algorithms. In view of the practical application, the influences of point cloud spatial resolution and laser radar system noise on target recognition were further studied.

When pulse laser ranging for a non-cooperative target in space, due to the large distance span of the target, the corresponding echo signal dynamic range is also great. Single method of optical or electronic adjustment can't meet the requirements of whole range receiving. According to the different distance range, in the transmitter the output beam of pulsed fiber laser and pulsed solid state laser was coaxial by polarization beam combiner and the laser emission power was classified. In the receiver the magnification of avalanche photodiode was also classified. Introducing a narrow-pulse peak detector and a variable gain amplifier, the output of the receiving circuit was stabilized by closed-loop automatic control. The equivalent input dynamic range of 160 dB and measuring range of 15 m-20 km was realized in a pulse laser ranging system.

The rotating parts on the spacecraft can seriously disturb working payload. In order to decrease this effect, electronic magnetic technology was applied to adaptive vibration absorber. This EM frequency control system worked through the repulsions from two electromagnets: when the central magnet left the balance place, repulsions of the electromagnets on both sides of the magnet would change. Because of the nonlinearity of the repulsions, the combining force would point to the balance just like a restoring force. Theoretical analysis showed that if the distance between the two electromagnets was sufficiently small, such restoring force was proportional to the displacement of central magnet from the balance place. Furthermore, it was also proportional to the currency in the electromagnet. These conclusions are supported by simulation too. That means it can be taken as the base of an effective, high-accurate DVA control method. According to the theoretical calculation and FEM simulation results, the whole system can change its stiffness in a range of 4 500 N/m. Through choosing right mass ratio, the adaptive vibration absorber could adjust its working frequency in a range of 50 Hz. The performance of the vibration absorber can meet the need of spacecraft.

The error was only 0.27% when the projection angle was 10. The deformation analysis of the reflector was achieved by using beam structure for equivalence of the thin film. The equivalent method could avoid large deformation caused by the force out of thin film. Load test for the reflector was carried to verify the correct of the equivalent method. Spotlight experiment was conducted based on the tailoring analysis and deformation research. The spotlight result is good. The tailoring analysis method and equivalence method can be the bases of the design for large reflector.

The Methods was proposed based on the analysis of Modulation Transfer Function(MTF) test error of spaceborne TDI CCD camera, the influence from grating period error, environment vibration and imaging noise was retained from MTF testing. The MTF testing is affected by grating period error, environment vibration and imaging noise. Through analyzing the influence mechanism, a mathematic module was established to describe the influence of grating period error, environment vibration and imaging noise. The correcting algorithm of the testing MTF error from grating period error was proposed, and the optimization mask of MTF testing was also proposed to reduce the influence from image noise. Based on the testing images, the horizontal scale of MTF mask should not exceed 4% of the Morie fringe horizontal period, the vertical scale of MTF mask should not exceed 2% of the Morie fringe vertical period. The analysis shows that if the mask is larger, the influence from noise is reduced, but the influences from the environment vibration and grating period error will increase. In the real project, the mask scale should be selected based on the imaging system noise level, and ensure the accuracy of the MTF testing.

Electromechanical actuator state can be classified to certain types by calculating least approximation distance between waiting test state sample and standard sample, so the state detection was realized. First, some original electromechanical actuator state sample data has been normalized. Then fuzzy similar matrix between each sample was established based on angle cosine law. After that iterative calculation of clustering center matrix and membership matrix was started. And iterative process was ended through setting maximum iterative error. So the standard state sample was obtained. Finally, test platform is established for state detection. The real-time state detection program runs in the electromechanical actuator controller in continuous operation test.

Experimental results indicate that runtime of electromechanical actuator state detection program just need 0.23us, and detection conclusion is completely right. This state detection method can satisfy the requirements of veracity and real-time for electromechanical actuator fault detection.

The Pulse Per Second(PPS) signal of Global Positioning System(GPS) receiver has large random error and the onboard clock exists cumulative error. Based on analyzing normal distribution characteristics of the PPS signal of GPS, the real-time correction algorithms for reference source of PPS and clock were proposed. In the real-time correction algorithms for reference source of PPS, the average value of pulse number in one second was obtained by averaging high frequency pulse accumulation, the average value of time error was obtained by averaging the pulse number of the time error between predict second pulse and coordinated universal time(UTC), thereby generating corrected second pulse. On the basis of the actual frequency of Temperature Compensated Crastal Oscillato(TCXO) which is obtained by the average method, pulse compensation algorithm was studied which is used for correcting the clock reference source. Simulation and experiment results show that the random error decreases 7.5 times by the use of real-time correction algorithm for reference source of PPS. Test error is less than 140 ns in 9.5 hours by the use of real-time correction algorithm for reference source of clock.

[Abstract](285) [PDF 887KB](134)
In order to meet the needs of low-cost, high integration space instruments for space power systems, a space-based instrument C8051F040 chip power controller was designed. The major difference between the controller and the traditional design approach is the use of highly integrated lithium-ion battery controller chip (bq77PL900) as an integrated controller chip instead of analog circuits. By employing the bq77PL900, the size of power controller is reduced and the energy of the power controller used is decreased, and the anti-jamming ability of the system is enhanced. To improve the reliability of the system, the system uses the online EEPROM re-injection technology, which can be used to discover the knocked data. This experiment proves that this design not only greatly simple and reliable, but also enhance the efficiency of the system by 5%. This design can wildly used in low-cost space instruments and small satellites.

[Abstract](285) [PDF 868KB](259)
One of the major problems that restricts the widely use of hard and brittle materials is the quality and efficiency of fabrication. To deal with this,improving fabricaiton efficiency and quality of hard and brittle materials needs to be quickly solved. To a large extent, high efficiency could imply the quality may get worse. Keeping up high efficiency and good quality seems to be contradictory in the meantime. Since the grinding thermal situation was one of the key elements that could affect the fabrication quality, this article aims to analyze the thermal situation in the process of fabrication of carbon dioxide and aluminum oxide by studying the relationships between grinding temperature and grinding parameters which include grinding wheel linear velocity, grinding depth and workpiece speed. In the meanwhile, it compared the thermal results between carbon dioxide and aluminum oxide in purpose of providing useful information and reference for fabrication.

The stability of space remote pointing mirror plays a vital role in improving image geometric accuracy, and it is determined by adhesives. First of all, the requirement of remote sensor to pointing mirror's stability was analyzed in this paper. Then the three commonly used for aerospace adhesive were compared comprehensively. Combining with the actual requirements of pointing mirror, HY914 and SE-14-80 adhesives were chose to compare the stress of glue bonding. By setting a reasonable curing process for both adhesives, and under the same conditions, the pointing stability was examined before and after the test verification. Experimental results show that with the specific curing process,the pointing error of pointing mirror using SE-14-80 adhesive was 1 before and after bonding, and SE-14-80 is more suitable for use in bonding in space optical remote sensor pointing mirror. Given its excellent adhesion, this adhesive is applied in a research project.

At present, there are some conditions in the research field of the space camera. For example, the imaging mode is single of the optical imaging reconnaissance satellite in our country. The detection efficiency of the satellite is very low for banded target curve. Therefore, it need to carry out a research about the new drift adjusting method of the space camera. This research requires a basis that is the real time compensation technology for the image motion of the camera.

To resolve the problem that brought by the complex drift angle adjusting structure in the current image motion compensation method, a new drift angle adjusting method based on image was proposed in this paper, which was suitable for the CMOS remote sensing cameras based on TDI in digital domain. The method was based on digital images, and accumulates the matching image pixel in digital domain to adjusts the image motion mismatch caused by the drift angle. Finally, in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the imaging experiment was conducted. And the results show that when the drift angle is 26.56 degrees, the of the image gotten directly before using the proposed algorithm is 0.132 8, while the contrast transfer function is increased to 0.444 7 after using the proposed method. So it proves that the drift angle adjusting method based on image can improve imaging results significantly and is feasible and effective. The proposed method gets rid of the limit of the idea of adjusting the drift angle by mechanical structure, and it is of high precision but simple, without the need for any additional hardware expenses, which is helpful to improve the current image motion compensation system.

The total number of 80 apples was for the calibration(n=60) and prediction(n=20) sets. Different spectral pretreatment methods, including smoothing, standard normal variate(SNV) and multiplicative scatter correction(MSC) were performed. Uninformative variable elimination(UVE) and successive projections algorithm(SPA) were proposed to select effective wavelength variables. Partial least squares(PLS) models combined with whole wavelength and selected wavelengths were established to detect SSC of apple. The results indicated that the best model was developed using PLS with respect to the spectra in whole wavelength range. The correlation coefficient (Rp) and root mean square error of prediction(RMSEP) for prediction sets were 0.853, 0.534 for SSC. The model is reliable and the predicted result is effective. The meter can meet the requirement of quick measuring SSC of apple. The study can provide a reference for development of portable apple soluble solids content spectrometer.

In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the projected grating three-dimensional measurement system, a sub-pixel matching method based on epipolar line rectification was proposed. Firstly, the epipolar line rectification algorithm was used to transform the bi-stereo geometry into the epipolar standard geometry, so the certain point on the left image had the same horizontal epipolar line with the same row coordinate on the right image. Then, the new phase images of left and right camera were achieved by bilinear interpolation algorithm, and the initial matching points were obtained using the proposed method of stereo matching algorithm based on phase region matching. Thirdly, the local minimum of the surface was achieved by the least squares fitting of 33 neighborhood similarity metric of the initial matching points to be a quadratic surface. Then the right camera matching point coordinate was acquired which had the same phase with the left camera matching point. The planeness of a standard planar was measured to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can achieve the stereo matching fastly and accurately.

Random dot stereograms were used to study the factors of the key problem that existed in the visual comfort of stereo display and was caused by stereo vision comfortable fusion. Subjective behavior experiments were done to analysis the factors to affect CFL(Comfortable fusion limits) of stereo vision by changing the size and shape of a hidden graph, the dots density and dot size in random dot stereograms. Then a prediction model of these factors to CFL was put forward. The results showed that these factors had different influences on CFL under crossed disparity and uncrossed disparity. Under uncrossed disparity, the subjects can stand bigger size of hidden graph, and the perception of fusion limit for the shape is opposite to the perception under crossed disparity. Correlation detection was measured between the prediction values calculated by the prediction model and the measured values. The correlation coefficient achieved 0.998 and 0.977, respectively, under crossed disparity and uncrossed disparity, which indicated that the prediction model could more accurately predict the CFL.

Digital imaging devices require color space characterization while transferring or showing image between various devices which is a crucial part of color management for digital devices. In order to keep the color reproduction ability for output image, a high dynamic range digital(HDR) camera requires characterization based on the device properties. For existing characterization algorithms, which are in most cases for 8-bit-digital cameras, the processes of transformation matrix calibration are involved in some complex approaches, which are easy to cause system errors and influence the precision of color space transformation matrix. Accordingly, a color management approach was proposed for a high dynamic range colorful digital camera that using a color space mapping from camera RGB space to CIE1931 XYZ color space to estimate the function relation between two color spaces and using the least square method to achieve color matrix calibration. Eventually the camera RGB color space was transformed to sRGB standard color space which achieves characterization for HDR camera. Experimental results show that this method is of good robustness and easy to realize as well as the mean square error is less than 0.08.

The existing Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) based color information encryption system provided an optical matrix composition scheme, secure ciphertexts and very sensitive keys. As the Higher-order SVD (HOSVD) is a natural multi-linear extension of the matrix SVD, an HOSVD based color image encryption algorithm was proposed. In the encryption procedure, HOSVD can generate more multiplication orders of the ciphertexts (decomposition parts) than what SVD provides. These multiplication orders can be used as effective keys to make unauthorized decryption harder. In the decryption procedure, the reconstruction accuracy of HOSVD is higher than that of SVD. These advantages enhance the accuracy, security and robustness. Numerical simulations based on a test dataset of 100 images support the viability of the proposed algorithm.
