Methods Utilizing CCD external trigger, computer video capture card and image processing software, the image accumulation was made. Results The detection of the static object image whose illuminance on the CCD FPA(focal plane array) was less than 3 7×10 -5 lx was realized and the image's resolution of 300?TV lines was achieved. Conclusion This experimental system can provide a kind of night vision device capable of detecting the static object at low light level and with low cost compared to an image intensifier.展开更多

The underlying concept is to combine low-light visible and infrared imagery into a single output to enhance visual perception. The proposed framework is computationally simple since it is only realized in the spatial domain. The core idea is to obtain an initial fused image by averaging all the source images. The initial fused image is then enhanced by selecting the most salient features guided from the root mean square error(RMSE) and fractal dimension of the visual and infrared images to obtain the final fused image.Extensive experiments on different scene imaginary demonstrate that it is consistently superior to the conventional image fusion methods in terms of visual and quantitative evaluations.展开更多

The system can selectively image some objects in specific distances,meanwhile ignore those shelters on the way of observation by combining an intensifying charge coupled device(ICCD) with a near infrared laser assisted in vision,whose operation wavelength matches with the photocathode of the image tube,and adopting the gated mode and adjustable time-delay. A semiconductor laser diode of 100 W in peak power is chosen for illumination. The laser and the image tube operate in 150 ns pulse width and 2 kHz repeat frequency. Some images of different objects at the different distances within 100 m can be obtained clearly,and even behind a grove by using a sampling circuit and a delay control device at 100 W in peak power of semiconductor laser diode,150 ns in pulse width of laser and image tube,2 kHz in repeat frequency.展开更多
