Different types of visual and measured data, such as high-resolution orthoimages, real-time videos, accurate digital elevation models, and three-dimensional landscape maps, can enable producing effective rescue plans and aid the efficient dispatching of rescuers after disasters. Generally, such data are acquired using unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with multiple sensors. For typical application scenarios, efficient and real-time access to data is more important in emergency response cases than in traditional application scenarios. In this study, an efficient emergency response airborne mapping system equipped with multiple sensors was designed. The system comprises groups of wide-angle cameras, a high-definition video camera, an infrared video camera, a LiDAR system, and a global navigation satellite system/inertial measurement unit. The wide-angle cameras had a visual field of 85° × 105°, facilitating the efficient operation of the mapping system. Numerous calibrations were performed on the constructed mapping system. In particular, initial calibration and self-calibration were performed to determine the relative pose between different wide-angle cameras to fuse all the acquired images. The mapping system was then tested in an area with altitudes of 1000 m–1250 m. The biases of the wide-angle cameras were small bias values (0.090 m, −0.018 m, and −0.046 m in the x-, y-, and z-axes, respectively). Moreover, the root-mean-square error (RMSE) along the planer direction was smaller than that along the vertical direction (0.202 and 0.294 m, respectively). The LiDAR system achieved smaller biases (0.117, −0.020, and −0.039 m in the x-, y-, and z-axes, respectively) and a smaller RMSE in the vertical direction (0.192 m) than the wide-angle cameras; however, RMSE of the LiDAR system along the planar direction (0.276 m) was slightly larger. The proposed system shows potential for use in emergency response systems for efficiently acquiring data such as images and point clouds.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46585838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an intended misplaced parallax barrier with discrepant width of Light Translucent Slits (LTSs) to weaken vernier fringe. Because of the wild Black Matrix (BM) of LED display, which causes apparent vernier fringe, we enlarge the width of the LTS and move the slits properly in their periods. This structure increases the periodic difference between the parallax barrier and pixel of the LED display, which can increase the brightness of the diazone of vernier fringe and make it to appear more sparsely. In this way, vernier fringe produced by those two periods is weakened at the condition that no obvious crosstalk of stereoimages is increased. The performances of simulation and experimental display prototype show that the diazone of vernier fringe is faded and obviously sparser in the naked-eye LED 3D display. As a result, vernier fringe of this display is significantly decreased and not visible for viewing.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47484810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These performance parameters are nearly three times higher than those of Ag/Au bimetallic resonance sensors. Furthermore, an adhesive Cr layer and two-dimensional graphene were incorporated into this sensor structure to explore their impact on the performance. The results demonstrated that the Cr layer significantly weakened the sensor performance, whereas graphene did not produce the expected enhancement effect on this structure. If simply adding a layer to a Au/Ag sensor can produce a three-fold improvement in its performance, then its economic and scientific benefits are potentially significant and widespread.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47123835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a direct yet efficient, very short air-slot coupler (ASC) of a length of 36 nm to increase the coupling efficiency between a silicon waveguide and a silver-air-silver plasmonic waveguide. Our numerical simulation results show that having the ASC at the interface makes the fabrication process much easier and ensures that light couples from a dielectric waveguide into and out of a plasmonic waveguide. The proposed coupler works over a broad frequency range achieving a coupling efficiency of 86% from a dielectric waveguide into a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) plasmonic waveguide and 68% from a dielectric waveguide to an MDM plasmonic waveguide and back into another dielectric waveguide. In addition, we show that even if there are no high-precision fabrication techniques, light couples from a conventional dielectric waveguide (CDW) into an MDM plasmonic waveguide as long as there is an overlap between the CDW and ASC, which reduces the fabrication process tremendously. Our proposed coupler has an impact on the miniaturization of ultracompact nanoplasmonic devices.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41534125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of omnidirectional illumination, air sterilization becomes more effective than surface disinfection if similar irradiance levels are measured from the enclosure wall.

In textiles, the most commonly used fiber material types are wool, cotton, and polyester. When recycling fabrics, it is critical to identify and sort various fiber types quickly and correctly. The standard method of determining fabric fiber material type is the burn test followed by a microscopic examination. This traditional method is destructive, tedious, and slow since it involves cutting, burning, and examining the yarn of the fabric. We demonstrate that the identification procedure can be done nondestructively using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and deep learning. The OCT image scans of fabrics that are composed of different fiber material types such as wool, cotton, and polyester are used to train a deep neural network. We present the results of the created deep learning models’ capability to classify fabric fiber material types. We conclude that fiber material types can be identified nondestructively with high precision and recall by OCT imaging and deep learning. Because classification of material type can be performed by OCT and deep learning, this novel technique can be employed in recycling plants in sorting wool, cotton, and polyester fabrics automatically.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48407881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the one hand, the gamma coefficient of the measurement system depends on precoding two groups of fringe sequences with different gamma coefficients to calculate the corresponded proportional coefficient of harmonic component. On the other hand, the phase error compensation method is designed to compensate the phase error and improve the accuracy and speed of phase calculation after gamma correction. Experiments show that the proposed precalibration gamma coefficient method can effectively reduce the sinusoidal error in nearly 80 percent which only needs fewer fringe patterns.

Mahmood","doi":"10.1155/2021/2785225","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/2785225","url":null,"abstract":"Blur detection (BD) is an important and challenging task in digital imaging and computer vision applications. Accurate segmentation of homogenous smooth and blur regions, low-contrast focal regions, missing patches, and background clutter, without having any prior information about the blur, are the fundamental challenges of BD. Previous work on BD has emphasized much effort on designing local sharpness metric maps from the images. However, the smooth/blurred regions having the same patterns as sharp regions make them problematic. This paper presents a robust novel method to extract the local metric map for blurred and nonblurred regions based on multisequential deviated patterns (MSDPs). Unlike the preceding, MSDP extracts the local sharpness metric map on the images at multiple scales using different adaptive thresholds to overcome the problems of smooth/blur regions and missing patches. By using the integral values of the image along with image masking and Otsu thresholding, highly accurate segmented regions of the images are acquired. We argue/hypothesize that the local sharpness map extraction by using direct integral information of the image is highly affected by the threshold selected for distinction between the regions, whereas MSDP feature extraction overcomes the limitations substantially by using automatic threshold computation over multiple scales of the images. Moreover, the proposed method extracts the relatively accurate sharp regions from the high-dense blur and noisy images. Experiments are conducted on two commonly used SHI and DUT datasets for blur and sharp region classifications. The results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of sharp segmented regions. Experimental results of qualitative and quantitative comparisons of the proposed method with ten comparative methods demonstrate the superiority of our method. Moreover, the proposed method is also computationally efficient over state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48001564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
