There is an interface between multibeam data and brightness modulation display system in digital sonar. The system gain obtained from signal processing system may be lost in this interface. A right choice of conversion algorithm will reduce this lose to minimum. The Grey Scale Conversion ( GSC) algorithm proposed in this paper is a real time digital operation technique. This technique can be used to improve the detection ability for weak signals, in the meantime there is no serious effect on strong signal detection. The method described in this papr is easy to implement in hardware. The simulation results with a computer show a good agreement with the theoretical analysis. A brief outline of hardware design is also illustrated.展开更多

This lidar affords 43.0-μJ pulse energy at 10-kHz pulse repetition frequency with 500-ns pulse width. The lidar is operated in monostatic mode with 50-mm diameter telescope. The heterodyne mixing signals are acquired with 500 M/s analog to digital converter and 2048 points fast Fourier transform (FFT) is implemented. Line of sight wind speeds are measured with more than 3.0-km range in a horizontal direction and about 1.9 km in the vertical direction with 75-m range resolution. Systematic error of speed measurement of 0.2 m/s is validated.展开更多

The model included an S-shape nonlinear function with four coefficients for each channel to fit the Tone reproduction curve (TRC), and a linear transfer matrix with black-level correction. To compare with the simple model (SM), gain-offset-gain (GOG), S-curve and three-one-dimensional look-up tables (3-1D LUTs) models, an identical LCD was characterized and the color differences were calculated and summarized using the set of 7 × 7 × 7 digital-to-analog converter (DAC) triplets as test data. The experimental results showed that the model was outperformed in comparison with the GOG and SM ones, and near to that of the S-curve model and 3-1D LUTs method.展开更多
