Effect of charge transfer efficiency on image quality in CCD line scan-based web inspection

Charge transfer efficiency limits the performance of a CCD line scan-based imaging system. Even though the degradation of the image quality due to the inefficiency in the charge transfer is often neglected in practical work it may have considerable effect on the system performance in applications where high resolution and uniform image quality are needed. In this paper the relationship between the charge transfer efficiency and the image quality in paper web inspection and, especially, in streak detection is discussed. A simple method for the estimation of the charge transfer efficiency is proposed. The method is based on the imaging of a square wave test pattern. The degradation of the image quality due to the charge transfer is analysed both theoretically and with practical imaging experiments. The results show clearly the variation in the system performance along the CCD scan. This is emphasised in the case of small and low-contrast surface defects on the web.     

Linear polarization characteristics for terrain identification at millimeter wave band

We experimentally research linear polarization characteristics of various terrains at millimeter wave band for image interpretation. We measure and discuss the polarization phenomena, and consider as well the incident angle which also affects terrain radiometric temperature. An economic single-channel radiometer is used in measurements, and changes to the linear polarization are produced by manually rotating its waveguide. We demonstrate that the characteristic in polarization is a decisive advantage of terrain identification in ways beyond that which can be achieved using an intensity radiometer alone.

It is necessary to study the radiation characteristic of metal solid objects for millimeter wave passive guidance.

A novel method of high resolution imaging through random perturbation wave front

A novel method is proposed for eliminating the effect of the traditional optical aberration on high resolution imaging by random perturbation wave front and digital image processing. A random phase mask, whose phase spectrum fluctuation is accordant with Kolmogorov distribution, is positioned near the aperture stop of optical system, making the optical aberration image become random perturbation image, that is, the intermediate image. The blind deconvolution algorithm based on maximum-likelihood estimation technique is used to restore the intermediate image acquired by a digital detector. The effects of optical aberrations and the noise on the restoration image are explored. To demonstrate the validity of the method proposed, the computer simulation and laboratory experiments are carried out for the imaging of the optical system with primary aberration. The results have shown that the present method is well suited for effectively improving the imaging quality of the optical system with certain aberration, thus making the optical system resolution close to or reach the diffraction-limit of the optical system.

Effect of Fog and Clouds on the Image Quality in Millimeter Communications

The effect of fog and clouds in millimeter communication is discussed, and the attenuation caused by fog and clouds is reviewed. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of image is derived using relating models of fog and clouds attenuation. According to the relation of image quality and its signal-to-noise ratio, the system behavior is forecasted theoretically. It is shown that the signal-to-noise ratio of receiver at certain transmitter power is inverse with radio wave frequency, from about 70dB at 10GHz to 48dB for fog and 49dB for clouds. The image quality of received signal at certain transmitter power is inverse with radio wave frequency, from about 7 grade at 10GHz to 5.27 grade for fog and 5.37 grade for clouds. The above calculated results are consistent with experimental results.

光学遥感系统采用线阵CCD推扫成像方法获取地面景物的高分辨图像信息,调制传递函数(MTF)是评价系统成像质量的重要参数。使用矩形波板作为目标在Nyquist频率处测试光电成像系统的静态调制传递函数可以定量评价系统的成像质量。由于采用线阵CCD推扫成像的光电系统还需要测试其在像移补偿、偏流角控制状态下的动态调制传递函数(Dynamic MTF),才可以定量评价系统在工作状态下的动态成像性能。为此,论文基于光电成像系统动静态调制传递函数的测试原理,研究了测试系统的组成与工作方法,对其中的平行光管组件与动静态目标发生装置进行了仿真设计。其中平行光管的波像差优于25 nm(RMS),静态目标发生装置的调焦精度优于3 m,动态目标发生装置的输出像移补偿偏差小于5/1 000,照明均匀性优于95%,可以理论上实现非相干照明。上述仿真设计结果可以满足新型光学遥感成像系统实验室内动静态调制传递函数的测试需求。
