Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are promising candidates for strain measurements in smart structures. The wavelength-encoded nature of the reflected signals from FBGs allows for absolute strain measurement and for multi-point operation based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). To measure strain variation with good accuracy, detection of the small shift in the Bragg wavelength is essential. In this paper, we report the use of a digital matched filter (DMF) for improving the wavelength detection accuracy. The DMF technique has been used extensively in imageprocessing and pattern recognition for the detection of weak signals in a noisy environment. We apply it here for the detection of Bragg wavelength in FBG sensors when the SNR is low.

In this paper, the problem of underwater scene understanding from multisensory data is addressed. Acoustic and optical devices onboard an underwater vehicle are used to sense the environment in order to produce an output which is readily understandable even by an inexperienced operator. The main idea is to integrate multiple sensory data by geometrically registering data to a model. In this way vehicle pose is derived, and the model objects can be superimposed on actual images, generating an augmented reality representation. Results on a real underwater scene are provided, showing the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

We investigate, how linear or weakly nonlinear oscillatory systems (coupled nanoscale oscillators and propagating spin-waves) can be used as non-Boolean computing systems. We study two model systems: nearest-neighbor connected harmonic oscillators and propagating spin-waves. We argue that these systems may realize efficient co-processors for some demanding applications (imageprocessing, associative memories, scientific computations), where digital CMOS solutions are notably inefficient. Wave-based processing architectures may use emerging nano-scale oscillators as device components, potentially surpassing end-of-roadmap CMOS performance.

A fast, low-cost method for rice canopy leaf area index (LAI) estimation is proposed. Take photos of rice canopy with a 57° view angle from above using a common digital camera. Extract canopy gap fraction by digitalimageprocessing technology. Then LAI can be estimated using canopy gap fraction based on optical transmission model and Leaf angle distribution model. AccuPAR-LP80 and direct measurement were employed to provide Comparative data. Comparison of the three methods, we obtained high correlation coefficients(R2≥0.6). The result shows that the method is especially suitable for estimating LAI in early growth stage of rice.

This paper presents a comparison between three GPU-based parallel approaches to integration in digital signal processing (DSP). In many cases in practice, the integration is applied on large signals. Its implementation in real-time systems imposes strict limitations on the computational time. In cases where sequential implementation does not meet these limitations, parallel optimization is expected to provide a solution. The discussed parallel approaches are based on the many-core architecture of the GPU. These approaches are employed in generating synthesized scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) images. These images are based on multiple en-face images, generated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. Optimal parallel approaches, which meet the real-time criterion, are identified.

This paper presents an approach for parallel implementation of cross-correlation using the graphics processing unit (GPU). Cross-correlation is a central digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm with applications in many areas. In many cases in real time systems, a sequential implementation of the cross-correlation creates a performance bottleneck and prevents the systems from reaching the real time criterion. On the other hand, a GPU-based parallel implementation of the cross-correlation offers a solution to this problem. The proposed parallel implementation is integrated in an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. As a result, the OCT system is able to generate up to 40 en-face images from different depths from semitransparent objects in real time. This number of images provides the necessary information when OCT is used in areas such as ophthalmology, where detailed imagery of the retina, the optic nerve, and other parts of the eye is essential for accurate diagnosis.

images from an electro-optical sensor provide a covert way of detecting objects in the flight path of a low-flying helicopter. Passive ranging consists of processing a sequence of images using techniques based on optical flow computation and recursive estimation. The passive ranging algorithm has to extract obstacle information from imagery at rates varying from five to thirty or more frames per second depending on the helicopter speed. We have implemented and tested the passive ranging algorithm off-line using helicopter-collected images. However, the real-time data and computational requirements of the algorithm are beyond the capability of any off-the-shell microprocessor or digital signal processor. This paper describes the computational requirements of the algorithm and uses parallel processing technology to meet these requirements. Various issues in the selection of a parallel processing architecture are discussed and four different computer architectures are evaluated regarding their suitability to process the algorithm in real-time.< >

The present work illustrates some recent alternative methods to deal with digitalimage reconstruction. This collection of methods are inspired on the use of a class of Markov chains best known as Markov random fields (MRF). All of these new methodologies are also based on the prior knowledge of some information which will permit more efficiently modeling the image acquisition process. The methods based on the MRF's are proposed and analyzed in a Bayesian framework and their principal objective is to eliminate those effects caused by the excessive smoothness on the reconstruction process of images which are rich in contours or edges. In order to respond to the edge preservation, the use of certain convexity criteria are proposed which will lead to obtain adequate weighting of cost functions (half-quadratic) in cases where discontinuities are remarked and, even better, for cases where such discontinuities are very smooth. The final aim is to apply these methods to problems in optical instrumentation
