	+ -	Show Abstract A new fast effective approach for impulsive noise suppression in digitized aerophotographic images is presented in this paper. The filtering scheme consists of the global histogram analysis part to detect impulse corrupted pixels and the part of local adaptive interpolation of the intensity function of identified pixels by spatial modified order statistic value computed around these pixels. The proposed technique is characterized by its simplicity and better performing of the impulsive noise suppression while preserving fine details and edges of the image, especially where there is a high probability of the impulse occurrence. The advantages of developed approach in comparison with known adaptive identification filters are demonstrated by simulation results.

	+ -	Show Abstract The paper describes the phase-shifting method for measuring 2D birefringence distributions with return-path polarimeter scheme. Eight or sixteen images in polarized light are processed for determining of specimen's retardance and azimuth distributions. The principal formulas that describe the mathematical processing are presented. The method allows us to find the image of specimen's birefringence with nonuniform distribution of fast axis azimuth and retardance. The method gives the exact solution for any retardance value. Approximation equations for determining of small retardance are presented. The measurement method is highly effective for research of vector or tensor physical fields, which are accompanied by birefringence. For example, inner stresses, electrical and magnetic fields, heat flows, birefringence liquid flows et al.

	+ -	Show Abstract A whole-field polarimetric method through digital image processing has been developed for mapping the three optical parameters, which determine normalized Jones matrix of an elliptic retarder. The suggested technique conveys measurement data sufficient to describe optical anisotropy in the media exhibiting rotation of birefringence axes along the light path. Particularly, homogeneous or inhomogeneous birefringent gyrotropic objects and initially isotropic transparent samples bearing stress-induced anisotropy can be investigated by use of this technique. Operational principle of the method implies incremental rotation of polarizer and analyzer with the ratio 1:3 over the revolution of the polarizer and collection of 9 intensity images between successive rotation steps. Then thus obtained intensity patterns are digitally processed by use of Fourier analysis. Specifically in this paper we address issues concerning the accuracy of mapping all the three parameters at different values of those. Some ad hoc experiments with test crystalline quartz phase plates are reported. Computer simulations and measurement results are presented and discussed.

Select this Article		Information transmission in acousto-optic imaging systems Boris S. Gurevich, Sergei V. Andreyev, V. A. Belyaev, Mikhail V. Kaupinen, Alexander I. Kantserov, and Salmor A. Alymkulov Proc. SPIE 4148, 90 (2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.388428 Online Publication Date: Aug 01, 2003 Full Text: \| Download PDF
	+ -	Show Abstract Different kinds of acousto-optic imaging systems have been observed from the point of view of their capability to transmit and process information. The major attention have been paid to the system providing image projection. Acousto- optic light projection system represents a kind of light information systems in which two kinds of information are used: basic and auxiliary information. The auxiliary information contains data which are used in order to arrange the basic information in such form that it would require no additional decoding means. When such auxiliary data are used, the signal-to-noise ratio falls because each operation introduce its own noise. Several ways of additional information input have been considered from the point of view of the useful information transmission optimization. In order to perform this consideration, such standard information parameters as information capacity and information transmission capability have been assigned to the system as well as to its separate links. These parameters limitations providing by acousto-optic deflection and modulation units have been estimated. These limitations are connected with the certain contradiction between attempts to increase both information parameters simultaneously. This contradiction is connected with nature of acousto-optic interaction, however it differs from that taking place while optimizing the information parameters of acousto-optic spectrum analyzers. The results of information parameters estimation for the systems we had experimentally performed, have been stated and discussed.

A technique is sketched which enables one to calculate the characteristics of the narrow-band optical filters based on the CdS crystals. The approach adopted in this work is compared with that of the coupled-wave theory.

It is shown, that due to non-stationary energy transfer between recording and scattering beams and, accordingly, the noise holograms amplification essential decreasing of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) has place at relatively high efficiency of Fourier holograms (more than 50%). It has been found, that recording of the noise holograms can be appreciably suppressed by increasing of intensity of reference beam concerning to intensity of object beam. On this way it was possible to improve the SNR for the Fourier holograms of binary phase masks: at a reference to object beams ratio R equals 26 the phase Fourier holograms with efficiency 15% and SNR 20 dB has been recorded.

Select this Article		Adaptive correlation image processing by collinear optical heterodyning with hologram lens scanning Eugeny R. Tsvetov Proc. SPIE 4148, 158 (2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.388439 Online Publication Date: Aug 01, 2003 Full Text: \| Download PDF
	+ -	Show Abstract The optical heterodyne correlator (OHC), in which the functions of overlapping and fast scanning by reference image relatively signal image and light frequency shift between them are realized with hologram lens scanner (HLS) in JFT plane is describe.d The important feature of the collinear heterodyning is non-sensitivity of its output response to any phase distortions of an amplitude spatial filters (ASF). That provides high instrumental accuracy of OHC and wide possibilities for adaptive processing with using controllable ASF and matrix photoreceiver with controllable sensitivity of each element. Presented results of experiments demonstrate high performance of this scheme. Multichannel fiber optical communication between the imaged JFT plane of OHC scheme and elements of radio or acoustic antenna array permits fast and soft beam forming and scanning by computer controlled optical transparencies and HLS.

Select this Article		Optical/digital identification/verification system based on digital watermarking technology Alexander Herrigel, Sviatoslav V. Voloshynovskiy, and Zenon D. Hrytskiv Proc. SPIE 4148, 170 (2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.388440 Online Publication Date: Aug 01, 2003 Full Text: \| Download PDF
	+ -	Show Abstract This paper presents a new approach for the secure integrity verification of driver licenses, passports or other analogue identification documents. The system embeds (detects) the reference number of the identification document with the DCT watermark technology in (from) the owner photo of the identification document holder. During verification the reference number is extracted and compared with the reference number printed in the identification document. The approach combines optical and digital image processing techniques. The detection system must be able to scan an analogue driver license or passport, convert the image of this document into a digital representation and then apply the watermark verification algorithm to check the payload of the embedded watermark. If the payload of the watermark is identical with the printed visual reference number of the issuer, the verification was successful and the passport or driver license has not been modified. This approach constitutes a new class of application for the watermark technology, which was originally targeted for the copyright protection of digital multimedia data. The presented approach substantially increases the security of the analogue identification documents applied in many European countries.

SPIE 4148, 177 (2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.388441 Online Publication Date: Aug 01, 2003 Full Text: \| Download PDF
	+ -	Show Abstract In the case of image coding are containing interpolation methods, a linear methods of component forming usually used. However, taking in account the huge speed increasing of a computer and hardware integration power, of special interest was more complicated interpolation methods, in particular spline interpolation. A spline interpolation is known to be a approximation that performed by spline, which consist of polynomial bounds, where a cub parabola usually used. At this article is to perform image analysis by 5 X 5 aperture, result in count rejection of low-frequence component of image: an one base count per 5 X 5 size fragment. The passed source counts were restoring by spline interpolation methods, then formed counts of high-frequence image component, by subtract from counts of initial image a low-frequence component and their quantization. At the final stage Huffman coding performed to divert of statistical redundancy. Spacious set of experiments with various images showed that source compression factor may be founded into limits of 10 - 70, which for majority test images are superlative source compression factor by JPEG standard applications at the same image quality. Investigated research show that spline approximation allow to improve restored image quality and compression factor to compare with linear interpolation. Encoding program modules has work out for BMP-format files, on the Windows and MS-DOS platforms.

Select this Article		Identification of random phase masks in a nonlinear joint transform correlator Leonid I. Muravsky Proc. SPIE 4148, 185 (2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.388442 Online Publication Date: Aug 01, 2003 Full Text: \| Download PDF
	+ -	Show Abstract The procedure for identification of a random phase mask in a nonlinear joint transform correlator containing a photosensitive recording material or a spatial light modulator in a frequency domain is studied. The new approach for estimation the intensities of correlation peaks in such type of a nonlinear correlator is proposed. This approach is based on the use of an experimental dependence of the recording medium's diffraction efficiency versus its exposure. The comparative analysis of correlation peaks produced by phase masks and primary test images in nonlinear joint transform correlators containing different photosensitive recording medium in frequency domains is represented. The results of analysis have shown, that the peak intensities produced by phase masks and by primary images are the same in a linear joint transform correlator, but the peak intensity produced by a phase mask in the nonlinear joint transform correlator is much larger than the peak intensity produced by a primary image.

	+ -	Show Abstract Each acousto-optic device is intended generally for the purposes of information transmission and processing. Different kinds of such devices, however, transmit different kinds of information. Output information originating from acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTF) is contained in output light spectrum or wavelength. Amount of the transmitted information depends on different factors; the most important among them are AOTF resolving power by wavelength and the processing rate. The resolving power can be defined according to the following criterion: two adjacent wavelengths are considered to be resolved if their possibility to be non-recognized is less than the value given beforehand (usually determined by the customer of the device). This possibility can be measured if the valley between two peaks corresponding these wavelength is in the certain relationship with the value of noise. Hence, signal- to-noise ratio appears to be the most important factor describing information possibilities of AOTF. From the other hand, the processing rate depends on the temporal aperture of Bragg cell on the basis of which the device have been designed. The calculations of the possible amount of information to be transmitted by AOTF has been carried out both for collinear and noncollinear configurations of the device. The influence of features of slow shear acoustic wave propagation in tellurium dioxide single crystal in AOTF on information transmission through AOTF has been considered and discussed.

	+ -	Show Abstract Thermovision systems based on the pyroelectric vidicon (PV) are low-cost non-cooled devices for image creation in far infrared range of spectrum. For such systems it is necessary to form the positive pedestal charge to prevent PV from blanking and to decrease electron beam delay. Secondary emission pedestal mode (SEPM) is most frequently used for this purpose. It provides pedestal creation during retrace time of horizontal scanning. This paper is dedicated to examining of the SEPM influence on pyroelectric vidicon focusing and deflection mode changes, analysis results of the influence and finding possible ways to correct them. It is shown that SEPM causes deflection decreasing during retrace raster, performed estimation shows that trace and retrace rasters are considerably different. The trace and retrace rasters matching enables to improve the power parameters of the scanning and to increase target commutation time (sensitivity) and number of active scanning lines (spatial resolution). The methods of the trace and retrace raster matching are discussed. The advantages and shortcomings of these methods are pointed out. An estimation of thermovision system parameters improvement is calculated. The obtained results provide a good basis for designing low- cost portable thermovision systems with improved power parameters, resolution and sensitivity.

	+ -	Show Abstract Spatial inhomogeneity of the phase different in the birefringent plates of YAlO₃ and LiNbO₃ crystals with the dimensions ranging from 7 X 8 to 20 X 20 mm² are measured. A considerable eigenwave ellipticity k approximately 0.001 is revealed in the samples doped with neodymium, which can be explained by lowering symmetry of those crystals. The studies for the spatial optical inhomogeneities are performed with the imaging polarimeter which utilizes computer registration and processing of images. The apparatus have been used for the measurement of spatial distribution of the optical anisotropy parameters characterizing several single crystals. The results obtained agree well with the data derived from the automated polarimeter which works according to a single-ray scheme and utilizes usual single-element photodetector.

	+ -	Show Abstract The optical-digital systems find more and more broad application in scientific researches and productions. In particular the researches of the capillary characteristics of materials with the purpose of development of effective solders to design compounds metal-ceramics execute on special techniques in the high-temperature (700 - 1100 degree(s)C) vacuum installations (3 (DOT) 10^-3 P). The specifity of such researchers requires the use of remote methods for determination of the characteristics of materials (factor of surface tension and angle of wetting). The indicated characteristics of materials are determined through geometric images of drops of melts registered and processed by optical-electron and optical-digital systems. The modern optical-digital systems for registration and image processings are created on the basis of photoreceivers or devices with charging connection (CCD-lines, CCD-matrices and CCD-video cameras) and personal computer. Use and development of such digital systems has raised the question on choosing of optical system elements with the goal of optimization of their parameters and increase of accuracy of determination of the objects geometric sizes.

	+ -	Show Abstract In this article we describe an optoelectronic sensor for assessing the level of light petrochemical products in technological tanks at the oil refineries. This sensor employs the multi-element vertical array of discrete micro- optical refractometric transducers. The transducers are made of silica glass and have the conical shape. In the air, each transducer operates as a tiny retro-reflector that optically couple together two multimode optical fibers. The optical coupling in the transducer is due to the internal reflection at the conical surface. The amount of the coupling depends on the refractive index of the surrounding media. In a fluid, the total internal reflection vanishes and the coupling becomes negligibly small. The number of immersed transducers is a measure of the fluid level in the reservoir. Because of the significance of the transducer transmission function, it is evaluated in detail under various combinations of the geometrical parameters of the micro-optical structure and connecting optical fibers. The numerical ray tracing shows that the form of the transmission function can be modified by change of some geometrical parameters of the structure.
