For detecting doping micro particles with the designed mosaic line-scan camera, a detection algorithm of the target's location in FPGA is proposed. Finally, the practicability and stability of the system were validated experimentally. The results of the experiment show that the camera can get images clearly with less light loss and can accurately distinguish the target and the background.展开更多

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.展开更多

The design was based on diffuse reflection uniformity of the integrating sphere and requirement of the strip uniform illumination region. This system was called dome light. White light LED array light sources were used for uniform illumi- nation. The LEDs were filtrated to composite array light source based on coefficient of variation of a single LED. The standard white board and SG color checkers were used in the line-scan CCD imaging experiments under the dome light and ordinary illumination light source. The average color difference (AE) of SG color checkers in CIELAB space was 2. 091 under the dome light and 2. 286 under ordinary illumination light source respectively. Experimental results indicate that the dome light can satisfy illumination uniformity and color rendering consistency for line-scan CCD and provide a standard light source for uniform calibration of different cameras.展开更多

The evaluation of image differences between two records showed that the location of regions on plasma jet boundaries characterised by stronger nitrogen radiation changes with the plasma flow rate. Close-to-laminar flow results in a small mixing rate and consequently low nitrogen optical emission on plasma jet boundaries. The increase of the flow rate leads to the formation of a relatively thick and stable layer on the boundaries characterised by strong nitrogen radiation. Further enhancement of the flow rate results in the formation of unstable regions of excited nitrogen molecules moving along the jet.展开更多

The hydrogen multi-pellet (2 × 1.0 mm, 3× 1.2 mm, 3×1.2 ~ 1.3 mm) is horizontally injected into plasma. The observation is performed above the injection path at a sight angle 13.4°,As the shape of cloud ablation varies so quickly, the key points of the experiment have to be the high temporal resolution of CCD and the determination of pellet radial location in plasma. A series of improvements have been made with the experiment setup, including camera parameter, control (NA, ROI) and trigger mode, so as to satisfy the experiment requirements. Thus very nice photos along with the satisfying experimental results are obtained such as: (1) single exposure time reduced to 100 us (2) multi-frame in one discharge (FPS≥ 40) (3)multi-exposure for one pellet so that further observation of the temporal process of pellet ablation may be possible. Through the data analysis on the spatial distibution of pellet ablation clouds in photos taken, the pellet dimensions, trajectory of the cloud and pellet velocity are obtained, and the physical mechanism of pellet-plasma interactions also analyzed. In particular, it is possible to provide an effective means for measuring q-profile of HL-1M plasma.展开更多
