一种抗信息丢失的稳像系统

针对二维电子稳像补偿全局运动矢量后会出现大量 的空白区域,提出了一种不需要采用单应性模型明确估计全局运动矢量的快速平滑特征轨迹 的稳像算法。首先,采用改进的快速鲁棒特征(SURF)提取图像局部特征点;然后,利用空间 运动的 一致性连接帧与帧之间匹配的特征点得到特征点轨迹;最后,建立同时考虑特征轨迹的平滑 度和视频质量退化程度的目标函 数平滑特征点轨迹,得到稳定的视频。实验结果表明,用本文方法稳定的视频比Matsushita 方法处理后的视频丢失的区域减小 了30%左右,更满足人眼感官需求,减轻了费时的运动修复任务;同时 消除了运动估计中帧间匹配的累积误差,对前景存在较大局部运动的视频仍能表现较好的稳 像效果。     

Modified ESPRIT (M-ESPRIT) algorithm for time delay estimation in both any noise and any radar pulse context by a GPR radar

This paper presents M-ESPRIT, a modified version of the ESPRIT algorithm, for the purpose of time delay estimation of backscattered radar signals. The proposed algorithm takes both the transmitted pulse shape and any noise into account. It can process raw data from experimental device without the preprocessing which would be required with the conventional ESPRIT algorithm.     

A 1 GHz Digital Channel Multiplexer for Satellite Outdoor Unit

A digital channel multiplexer for satellite outdoor unit running at 1 GHz clock frequency is implemented in 65 nm CMOS mixed oxide dual voltage technology. This multiplexer, based on a 1 GS/s digital signal processor (DSP) approach with 500 MHz input and output bandwidth, embeds two 8 bit 1 GS/s analog-digital converters (ADCs) and two 8 bit 1 GS/s digital-analog converter (DACs). It consumes less that 1022 mW at ambient temperature while achieving noise rejection up to 42.5 dB on a single tone, and > 37 dB on modulated satellite channels.     

A new concept of planar self-reconfigurable modular robot for conveying microparts

Modularity and self-healing are two interesting properties that could help to design more flexible conveyors of micro-objects. In the Smart Blocks project, we propose to design a 2D modular and self-reconfigurable robot composed of centimeter-scale sliding blocks that embed their own actuators and control electronics. This article presents a proof-of-concept of the linkage and of the traveling system as well as an algorithm able to reconfigure a set of blocks from a spatial configuration to another one. Prototype blocks have been realized using electro-permanent magnets which show a good motion speed while saving power consumption during the linkage. Our reconfiguration algorithm is implemented in a simulator software showing in real-time the reconfiguration of the robot.

A Backside-Illuminated Image Sensor With 200 000 Pixels Operating at 250 000 Frames per Second

In this paper, a high-speed image sensor with very high sensitivity is developed. The high sensitivity is achieved by introduction of backside illumination and charge-carrier multiplication (CCM). The high frame rate is guaranteed by installing the in situ storage image sensor (ISIS) structure on the front side. A test sensor of the BSI-ISIS has been developed and evaluated. It is shown that an image with a very low signal level embedded under the noise floor is recognizable by activating the CCM.     

Construction and performance analysis of 2-D variable-length variable-weight optical orthogonal codes

In this paper, a new generation algorithm of a two-dimensional variable-length and variable-weight optical orthogonal codes (2-D VLVWOOCs) is proposed. By analysis of the BER performance for the corresponding optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system, it is shown that the users with different codewords have significant differences in performance. Users with heavier-weight address matrices always outperform those with lighter-weight address matrices, and shorter-length and longer-length matrices support high bit-rate and low bit-rate in OCDMA applications, respectively. Therefore, heavier-weight shorter-length matrices can accommodate high bit-rate and high-quality of services (QoS) (e.g., real-time video), and lighter-weight longer-length matrices can achieve low bit-rate and low-QoS (e.g., voice). The system performance becomes worse as the users concentrate on one type of service. Especially, a surge of the number of users with shorter-length matrices has particularly impact on system performance. Thus, the 2-D VLVWOOCs can be used to provide many different types of services with different rate-levels and different levels of QoS, and simultaneously make better use of bandwidth resources in optical networks.

Optical Distribution and Upconversion of MB-OFDM in Ultrawide-Band-Over-Fiber Systems

Broadband radio-over-fiber networks are raising great interest for intrabuilding distribution and signal processing of ultrawide-band (UWB) signals. In this paper, a unique optical system based on an external modulator biased either in linear or nonlinear regime has been used to realize both distribution of multiband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) UWB signal and all-optical frequency upconversion of UWB-OFDM subband. The impact of the nonlinearity of the optical link on the MB-OFDM signal is investigated through a simulation model of the complete UWB-over-fiber system. Results have shown enhanced performance of upconverted MB-OFDM subband compared to direct transmission due to optical noise reduction. First experimental results have confirmed simulation results.
