The production of parts and (or) finished products in electronics, mechanical engineering and other industries is inextricably linked with the control of the accuracy and cleanliness of the processed surfaces. Currently existing meters of parameters of statistically uneven surfaces, both contact and non-contact have some disadvantages, as well as limitations due to methods and design features of measurement. Speckle interferometric methods for measuring parameters of statistically uneven surfaces make it possible to get away from some disadvantages inherent in existing methods and measurements. The use of methods of statistical radio engineering, methods of optimization of statistical solutions and estimates of parameters of predictive distributions for optimal radio engineering system synthesis is promising for the analysis and processing optical-electronic coherent laser space-time signals (speckle images) form with the laser radiation scattered by statistically uneven surfaces. This work synthesizes the optimal algorithm and structure for analyzing the parameters of statistically-temporal surfaces based on spatio-temporal processing of optical speckle interference signals and images using modern methods of optimal synthesis of radio engineering and coherent optoelectronic systems. In this work, an algorithm for processing optical signals scattered by statistically uneven surfaces is synthesized and investigated for problems of optimal estimation of parameters and statistical characteristics of statistically uneven surfaces. A block diagram of the optical contactless device for evaluating the parameters of statistically uneven surfaces is proposed. The limiting errors of estimation parameters of statistically uneven surfaces and the optimal installation angles of the emitters and the optical receiver are investigated. Equations are obtained for estimating the root-mean-square height of the ridges and the correlation radius of small-scale statistically uneven surfaces in the approximation of small perturbations. The proposed method for evaluating the parameters of statistically uneven surfaces allows to increase the accuracy of measurements, to conduct a non-contact assessment of the parameters - even statistically uneven surfaces that have geometric surface irregularities or located in hard-to-reach places, for example, grooves, holes, as well as products of cylindrical, spherical and other shapes.
The subject of study in the article is the algorithms for radio monitoring of the Earth in a wide field of view from aerospace transport. The goal is to design a structural diagram of a radio complex that can operate simultaneously in two modes: modified synthetic aperture (SAR) and aperture synthesis (ASR), in accordance with algorithms synthesized by the maximum likelihood method. The modified SAR mode allows obtaining high-resolution radio images in the observation angle range ±(20°...50°) from the direction to the nadir. A method of combining a modified SAR algorithm is used, which differs from the classical imaging algorithm by the possibility of obtaining a higher spatial resolution, the payment for this is the complication of the signal processing algorithm associated with the implementation of decorrelating filters that expand the spectrum of received signals in each receiving path, and the ASR mode, which allows imaging using passive or active radar principles. The passive ASR mode provides for the imaging in the observation angle range of ±20° from the nadir based on the results of processing signals of its own broadband radio-thermal radiation, and the active mode – in the same observation angle range, but using the broadband noise signal of the backlight. An important result in the formation of a radio image in the specified viewing area when using the active mode of the ASR is that the images are close in physical content, namely, proportional to the specific effective reflection surface of the underlying surface. In addition, a distinctive feature of the synthesized algorithms is the use of wideband probing signals and, accordingly, the same input paths of receivers, which makes it possible to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the output effect. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is as follows: a structural diagram of the radio complex was developed on the basis of algorithms synthesized by the maximum likelihood method. For the formation of a radio image in the radio complex, a combination of SAR and ASR (with two modes of operation) is implemented. This implementation is important, since it allows obtaining high-resolution images in the observation angle range of ±50° from the direction to the nadir. It is advisable to place the complex on airplanes, helicopters and spacecraft (preferably those that move in low orbits).
Mathematical models of the fields of stochastic ultra-wideband signals that are necessary for solving problems of aperture synthesis of images using active radar methods are presented. The expediency of using V-transformations in these problems has been substantiated, the effectiveness of which has already been proven for the mathematical description of ultra-wideband spatio-temporal fields in the methods of passive and active radar, as well as remote sensing, that are used to solve problems of radio astronomy, medicine, navigation. Using modern methods of mathematical analysis and the theory of ultra-wideband systems, the physical essence of radio images obtained with the help of algorithms for coherent and incoherent signal processing is investigated. According to these algorithms, it is proposed to divide images into coherent and incoherent. Coherent images include those in which its amplitude and phase are recorded separately. In the case of an incoherent image, only its amplitude (power or related characteristic) is recorded. To describe of the obtained radio image structure, new concepts of the spectral density of the complex spatial coherence function (SDCSCF) and the spectral density of the spatial autocorrelation function of the amplitude-phase distribution (SDFSAF APD) are introduced. Application-use of functions is expedient and fundamentally necessary for solving problems of aperture synthesis using stochastic ultra-wideband signals. A mathematical description of the structures obtained by aperture synthesis of radio images is given. Here, studies are conducted for the general case of using a continuous (idealized) aperture, and for using an antenna system with spatially separated receiving elements. Simulation of the heuristic synthesized algorithm for constructing incoherent radio images is conducted. The possibility of using antenna arrays and synthesized aperture synthesis algorithms for solving problems of image formation in a survey located directly under the aircraft (at sounding angles close to vertical) are substantiated.
A new method is presented to detect the sea sky line. In the first step, the original image is transformed into grayscale image and the sea-skyline region is located by using the textural features gray-level co-occurrence matrix based on texture feature. In the second step, the adaptive segmentation thresholds are obtained by the OTSU algorithm, which produces a set of sea sky line candidate points. Finally, a simple clustering method is adopted to select appropriate points and transform them by straight line fitting. The results of experiments established on realworld sea-sky images demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach.
