Frequency Selection In Absolute Phase Maps Recovery With Two Frequency Projection Fringes, Yi Ding, Jiangtao Xi, Yanguang Yu, Wengqing Cheng, Shu Wang, Joe F. Chicharo Dec 2012

Frequency Selection In Absolute Phase Maps Recovery With Two Frequency Projection Fringes, Yi Ding, Jiangtao Xi, Yanguang Yu, Wengqing Cheng, Shu Wang, Joe F. Chicharo

Dr Yanguang Yu

In a recent published work we proposed a technique to recover the absolute phase maps of two fringe patterns with different spatial frequencies. It is demonstrated that a number of selected frequency pairs can be used for the proposed approach, but the published work did not provide a guideline for frequency selection. In addition, the performance of the proposed technique in terms of its anti-noise capability is not addressed. In this paper, the rules for selecting the two frequencies are presented based on theoretical analysis of the proposed technique. Also, when the two frequencies are given, the anti-noise capability of …

Estimating The Parameters Of Semiconductor Lasers Based On Weak Optical Feedback Self-Mixing Interferometry, Jiangtao Xi, Yanguang Yu, Joe F. Chicharo, T. Bosch

Dr Yanguang Yu

The paper presents a practical approach for measuring the linewidth enhancement factor /spl alpha/ of semiconductor lasers and the optical feedback level factor C in a semiconductor laser with an external cavity. The proposed approach is based on the analysis of the signals observed in an optical feedback self-mixing interferometric system. The parameters /spl alpha/ and C are estimated using a gradient-based optimization algorithm that achieves best data-to-theoretical model match. The effectiveness and accuracy of the method has been confirmed and tested by computer simulations and experiments, which show that the proposed approach is able to estimate /spl alpha/ and …

An Energy-Aware Multilevel Clustering Algorithm For Wireless Sensor Networks, Xinfang Yan, Jiangtao Xi, Joe F. Chicharo, Yanguang Yu

Dr Yanguang Yu

Clustering sensors nodes as the basic of routing is an efficient mechanism for prolonging the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, the high-efficient multilevel clustering is abstracted as a root tree which has the performances of the minimal relay set and the maximal weight according to graph theory. A mathematical model for the clustering virtual backbone is built. Based on the model, an algorithm called energy-aware multilevel clustering (EAMC) is proposed. The EAMC can reduce the number of relays used for data transmission by minimizing the amount of the nodes in the root tree (that is cluster-head). Furthermore, …


An Estimation Method For Feedback Level Factor C Of A Self-Mixing Interferometry System, Yuanlong Fan, Yanguang Yu, Jiangtao Xi, Joe F. Chicharo Dec 2012

An Estimation Method For Feedback Level Factor C Of A Self-Mixing Interferometry System, Yuanlong Fan, Yanguang Yu, Jiangtao Xi, Joe F. Chicharo

Dr Yanguang Yu

This paper presents a fast estimation method for feedback level factor C of a self-mixing interferometry (SMI) system. The reconstruction of a displacement waveform using a SMI signal needs to know a C value. However, it is difficult to maintain a constant C value during the reconstruction process. We study the features of the reconstructed displacement waveforms incorporating different pre-set C values and classify waveforms into two types. Bisection method is introduced in our method for fast estimating C value. The effectiveness of our proposed method has been verified by both simulation and experimental data.

A Calibration Approach For Decoupling Colour Cross-Talk Using Nonlinear Blind Signal Separation Network, Y. Hu, Jiangtao Xi, Enbang Li, Joe F. Chicharo, Zongkai Yang, Yuanguang Yu

Dr Yanguang Yu

We present a calibration approach to invert the nonlinear mixing process of colour cross-talk in multi-channel profilometry systems. Parameters of the inverse network are determined by a nonlinear blind signal separation algorithm. Experimental and simulation results demonstrate that proposed approach can effectively reduce colour leakages and improve the measurement accuracy.

3d Face Recognition Based On A Modified Icp Method, Kankan Zhao, Jiangtao Xi, Yanguang Yu, Joe F. Chicharo

Dr Yanguang Yu

3D face recognition technique has gained much more attention recently, and it is widely used in security system, identification system, and access control system, etc. The core technique in 3D face recognition is to find out the corresponding points in different 3D face images. The classic partial Iterative Closest Point (ICP) method is iteratively align the two point sets based on repetitively calculate the closest points as the corresponding points in each iteration. After several iterations, the corresponding points can be obtained accurately. However, if two 3D face images with different scale are from the same person, the classic partial …

Fpga-Based Signal Processing In An Optical Feedback Self-Mixing Interferometry System, Zongzhen Li, Yanguang Yu, Jiangtao Xi, Huiying Ye

Dr Yanguang Yu

Optical feedback Self-mixing Interferometry (OFSMI) can achieve a high-resolution displacement sensing and measurement by using advanced digital signal processing. However, most existing signal processing algorithms used for OFSMI signals are implemented on a PC by Matlab or other programming languages. In this case, the whole structure of OFSMI sensing system is incompact and the measurement is in low speed. The design trends in sensing systems are towarding to small size, high integration and fast real time processing. These trends require us to improve the existing OFSMI design. It is a good solution to apply Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) technique onto …

Dr Yanguang Yu

Turbine machinery has an extraordinary wide range of applications in the aviation, aerospace, automotive, energy and many other industries. The turbine blade is one of the most important parts of turbine machinery, and the characteristic parameters, pressure ratio of the engine and rotating speed of the turbine are all related to the shape and size of blades. Therefore, the profile measurement of turbine blade is an essential issue in the blade machining processing, however, it is difficult and particular to establish the profile measurement of turbine blade because of its complicated shapes and space angles of the blades, and the …

The Fourier Spectrum Analysis Of Optical Feedback Self-Mixing Signal Under Weak And Moderate Feedback, Xiaojun Zhang, Jiangtao Xi, Yanguang Yu, Joe F. Chicharo

Dr Yanguang Yu

The spectrum characteristics of self-mixing signals observed in optical feedback self-mixing interferometry (OFSMI) is studied in this paper. The purpose is to provide guidance for the design of pre-processing techniques for eliminating noise or disturbance. The influence of two important parameters of the OFSMI system on the spectrum, that is, the optical feedback factor and the linewidth enhancment factor, are measured by means of Discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The simulated results show that, at a weak feedback, the OFSMI signals are strictly band limited in nature, with the cut-off frequencies being the vibration frequency and the fringe frequency respectively. Also …
