We have developed the Space Imaging Optical Guidance for Ground Vehicle that uses the narrow field view of the Space Imaging Measurement System based on the fixed lens and fast moving detector to detect the objects to be evaded and the wide field view of the visible optical fine camera to set the drive path.In particular the angel between the optical axis of the narrow field view and the roadside object is very small. Therefore we considered the image segmentation processing of the narrow field view. This provides the accurate detection of the roadside object and its distance.To confirm the guidance ability of the Space Imaging Optical Guidance for Ground Vehicle we tested the Space Imaging Optical Guidance for Ground Vehicle on the road. The road has the object on the road and the roadside wall. The Space Imaging Optical Guidance for Ground Vehicle can detect the object and the surface of the wall and its distance.

We develop an optical fiber imaging laser radar based on the focal plane array detection method using a small number of detectors less than the number of the focal plane array resolution. For the development of this kind of the focal array detection method, we produce the optical fiber dissector, the movable aperture, and the small-number parallel multichannel pulse counter receiver. The optical fiber dissector has one vertical cross section of the 35ϫ35 optical fiber square array for the focal plane at one end and 25 vertical cross sections of the 25 optical fiber bundles for the 25-channel parallel multichannel pulse counter receiver at the other end. Each optical fiber bundle has the 49 optical fibers selected from the 35ϫ35 optical fiber square array with no overlap. The movable aperture has a window of a size 5ϫ5 optical fiber cross section to ensure no crosstalk for the detection of the divergent pulse laser beam. The divergent pulse laser beam is focused on some 5ϫ5 area of the 35ϫ35 optical fiber square array related to its scanning direction. The developed optical fiber imaging laser radar shows high range resolution and no-crosstalk angle resolution. The range resolution is under 15 cm. The angle resolution is 1 pixel. © 2005 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
