A Method to Improve Photographing Function of Common Digital Camera to Small Flowers and Fruits

[ Objective] The aim of this study was to solve the problem of photographing small flowers and fruits with a common digital camera in field. [Method] Firstly, the photographic mode of a common digital camera was set as ＂macro＂ （or ＂soft snap＂ ） and ＂flash off＂. Secondly, the small flower or fruit was magnified with a magnifying glass, and then the magnified flower or fruit was automatically focused with the digital camera lens. After automatic focusing, the shutter button was pressed and the photograph finished. [Result] With this method, the clear inflo- rescence or floral photographs of Eragrostis pilosa （ Gramineae ） , Bidens biternata （Compositae） and Tribulus terrester （Zygophllaceae） were obtained in field. [ Conclusion] The optical system of a digital camera has been changed by the magnifying glass, which improves the photographic function of a common digital camera to small flowers and fruits, and also easily gets their clear photographs.

Estimation of Fractional Vegetation Cover Based on Digital Camera Survey Data and a Remote Sensing Model

The objective of this paper is to improve the monitoring speed and precision of fractional vegetation cover (fc). It mainly focuses on fc estimation when fcmax and fcmin are not approximately equal to 100% and 0%, respectively due to using remote sensing image with medium or low spatial resolution. Meanwhile, we present a new method of fc estimation based on a random set of fc maximum and minimum values from digital camera (DC) survey data and a di- midiate pixel model. The results show that this is a convenient, efficient and accurate method for fc monitoring, with the maximum error -0.172 and correlation coefficient of 0.974 between DC survey data and the estimated value of the remote sensing model. The remaining DC survey data can be used as verification data for the precision of the fc estimation. In general, the estimation of fc based on DC survey data and a remote sensing model is a brand-new development trend and deserves further extensive utilization.

An Introduction to 2-CCD Digital Particle Image Velocimetry System and Its Application in Ocean Engineering

The basic principle of particle image velocinmetry (PIV) is described. When a PIV image is analyzed by the method of auto-correlation, there is a direction ambiguity of 180 degrees iii velocity measurement. The problem can be solved by using 'Image Shifting Technique', but this makes devices much complicated and difficult to control. A new arrangement of 2-CCD (Charge Coupled Device) fully digitized PIV system, which can also solve the problem successfully, is introduced in the paper. As an example of application of the system, an experimental result of flow field around a horizontal cylinder in wave is presented.

CCD signal acquisition and optimal digital denoise technology

To reduce the charge-coupled device(CCD)readout noise and improve the detection ability under low illumination and dim targets,a new low-noise CCD signal processing technology-CCD digital denoiseis gradually being employed in aerospace detection and other fields.In this study,the main readout noise of CCD detectors and its characteristics are analyzed.A CCD digital denoise system and an experimental platform are designed as well as established by using a PCIe data acquisition card.According to the characteristics of readout noise,some digital filters are analyzed and designed based on distributed kernel coefficient,and the optimal kernel coefficients are obtained through iteration.Then,CCD signal and filter model are established,and the optimal filter is designed to apply to the digital denoise system.Finally,according to the image data obtained from the system,the performance of the digital denoise system and digital filtering algorithm is evaluated and compared.At 500 kHz and 1 MHz CCD readout rates,the denoising performance of the optimal filter designed in the experiment is 16%-32%higher than that of the digital filter with kernel distribution coefficient,and 50%-60%higher than that of the traditional correlated double sampling technology.

Evaluation of the Anterior Chamber Angle Structures in Perinatal Infants Using a Wide-Field Digital Fundus Camera

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the ability of a digital fundus camera to observe the development of the anterior chamber angle(ACA)in premature infants.Methods Forty-eight eyes of preterm infants(n=48)were examined by a digital fundus camera to observe the development of the ACA.ACA grading was performed based on the visualization of the anterior chamber structures according to the Scheie Angle Depth Evaluating System.Results ACA images from all 48 infants were successfully acquired using RetCam3.The corrected gestational age ranged from 30 weeks to 49 weeks,which covered the period from 2 months preterm to>2 months post-term.As the corrected gestational age increased,the corrected gestational age grading was significantly decreased.The mean corrected gestational ages of the infants corresponding to the ACA classification from grade IV to grade 0 were 32.75±1.89,37.20±1.30,39.75±2.38,40.56±2.24,and 44.23±2.14 weeks,respectively,which were all significantly different(P<0.05).The regression analysis showed a linear correlation between the grading of the ACA and the corrected gestational age(R2=0.724,P=0.0001).Conclusion The ACA of a full-term newborn can be fully detected and evaluated by a digital fundus camera.For premature infants,part of the ACA is not visible physiologically;however,it should not be misdiagnosed as angle closure or a narrow angle.

Enhancement of Frame-rate Using Digital Camera

Frame rate is corresponding to the temporal resolution and the number of the pixels of the picture is corresponding to the spatial resolution. They are both very important for the researchers. The ideal image analysis and processing system should have high spatiotemporal characteristics, which is much expensive in practical use. A new method to enhance dynamic frame rate using multi-digital camera(DC) is proposed and the result shows that it could increase the frame rate effectively and decreases the cost in practical use.

Improved plasma position detection method in EAST Tokamak using fast CCD camera

To control the steady-state operation of Tokamak plasma, it is crucial to accurately obtain its shape and position. This paper presents a method for use in rapidly detecting plasma configuration during discharge of the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak device. First, a visible/infrared integrated endoscopy diagnostic system with a large field of view is introduced,and the PCO.edge5.5 camera in this system is used to acquire a plasma discharge image. Based on the analysis of various traditional edge detection algorithms, an improved wavelet edge detection algorithm is then introduced to identify the edge of the plasma. In this method, the local maximum of the modulus of wavelet transform is searched along four gradient directions, and the adaptive threshold is adopted. Finally, the detected boundary is fitted using the least square iterative method to accurately obtain the position of the plasma. Experimental results obtained using the EAST device show that the method presented in this paper can realize expected goals and produce ideal effects;this method thus has significant potential for application in further feedback control of plasma.

A Model for Estimating Total Forest Coverage with Ground-Based Digital Photography

Vegetation fractional coverage (VFC) is one of the key indicators of vegetation distribution. In the work a measurement-based model was developed to derive total forest VFC (TG) as well as the VFC of trees (T) and shrub-grasses (G) separately in a subtropical forest area in Nanjing, China. Both upward and downward photographs were taken with a digital camera in 72 quadrats (10 m × 10 m each). Fifteen models were established and validated. Models jointly using both T and G performed better than those using the T and G separately. The best model, TG = T + G- 1.134 × T × G- 0.025 (R2 = 0.9115, P < 0.01, root mean squared error = 0.0789), is recommended for application. This model provides a good way to obtain total forest VFC values through taking tree and shrub-grass photos on ground below tree canopy rather than above tree canopy.
