Landing aerial crafts, such as helicopters, on the board of naval vessels of small or medium size is a difficult and risky task for pilots since the tonnages are not large enough which makes the ships always swinging along with ocean waves. Thus the landing areas are moving all the way with six degrees of freedom randomly. Even, this mission will become dangerous and deadly when the weather is stormy. Here, we design a real-time and automatic position sensing system to track, locate and help a helicopter to land on deck safely under all weather conditions. For the sake of practical application, we have not only adopted some ready and mature computational technologies from image processing, photogrammetry and computer vision, but also chosen some simple but effective optical elements to reduce the computational complexity. The system is composed of camera units, image-processing unit, controlling system and fiber optical communication unit. Experimental results show our system is capable of all-weather, real-time, robust and automatic landing mission.

A new criterion is proposed in this paper which employs the grayscale erosion to measure the concentration of different time-frequency representations/distributions. In contrast to some widely used Concentration Measures proposed by L. Stankovic and L. Jones, this method combines the both width and peakedness information of the auto-term area. Moreover, it can be used in the multi-component signal analysis when the minimum mean square error criterion is invalid.

Comparing with conventional airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), the signal characteristics of highly-maneuvering (HM) platform SAR are much more complicated that makes the HM-SAR imaging difficult to process. To address this problem, this paper establishes the HM-SAR signal model in wavenumber-domain and analyses the signal characteristics for SAR imaging, based on which the relationship between the HM-SAR echoes and the spectrum of SAR image is revealed. Then, the two dimensional Nyquist sampling rates for imaging are designated accordingly and an effective time-domain image process is developed with high accuracy. Simulation results are presented and analyzed to validate the performance of the proposed method.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the latest video coding standard and has achieved 50% better compression performance compared to prior video standards competing with (2K, 4K, and 8K) video resolutions. HEVC adopts flexible quad-tree structure, resulting 60% of inter prediction complexity. A fast coding unit decision taking algorithm is proposed which can reduce the coding tree unit (CTU) inter mode complexity of HEVC, by enlarging the coding unit (CU), prediction unit (PU) and transform unit (TU) sizes. The algorithm first extends the coding unit size and then classifies it into different units with respect to the information collected from previous encoded frames. The probability model is used to take decision for the splitting of coding unit. Experimental results achieved an average reduction of encoding time by 62% with an average decrease of 0.01% dB in PSNR and negligible bit-rate increment.

Compressive sensing (CS) is a new framework for simulations sensing and compressive. How to reconstruct a sparse signal from limited measurements is the key problem in CS. For solving the reconstruction problem of a sparse signal, we proposed a self-adaptive proximal point algorithm (PPA). This algorithm can handle the sparse signal reconstruction by solving a substituted problem — ℓ1 problem. At last, the numerical results shows that the proposed method is more effective compared with the compressive sampling matching pursuit (CoSaMP).

Identification and mitigation of ground clutter are crucial problems in radar meteorology because the ground-clutters contaminate radar echoes and mask weather echoes. In this paper, two algorithms, Spectral Stationary Echo Filter (SSEF) and the clutter mitigation decision (CMD), are introduced to address the contamination of ground clutter on radar products, and performances of them are tested with raw data of an X-band radar in Foshan Nanhai radar site. Moreover, the CMD algorithm is adopted to prevent the zero velocity weather echoes from being filtered by the SSEF filter. Results show the good performance of the approach.

Existing decision-level information fusion methods for weak electrophysiological signals detection cannot effectively integrate conflicting information. Meanwhile, data-level information fusion methods lose physiological significance of channels. In this study, the evidence on each channel with a soft-decision method is first proposed. Then, a general multi-channel flexible information fusion detection framework for weak electrophysiological signals is established based on DSmT uncertain information fusion theory. Microvolt T wave alternans in ECG signal as an example, the proposed algorithm is verified on the simulation data and the measured data under various kinds of strong noise environments. These results demonstrate that the proposed method enables robust detection of weak electrocardiogram signals under strong noise background with significantly higher detection probability in the case of low false alarm probability by comparison with the existing decision-level fusion method, applying to the weak electrophysiological signals detection for mobile monitoring environments.

Distance information is useful for satellite constellation. Evaluating the accuracy of spread spectrum receiver under finite bandwidth is still hard and few researches focus on that. In this paper, we build the signal model of DSSS signal under finite bandwidth, and then derive the mathematic form of error function. Furthermore, we propose the error factor, which is decided by bandwidth and early-to-late correlator space. Finally, we conclude that the error factor gradually oscillates to a steady value with the bandwidth increase; the error decreases with a smaller correlator space if the bandwidth is large enough, but might increase if the bandwidth is relative narrow. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of our analysis.

This paper proposes a recognition approach for Semaphore flag signaling (SFS). We use the improved convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify the SFS. In the experiment we made Semaphore flag signaling system (SFSS), which based on CNN. The image can be directly input into the SFSS. Each alphabetic character or control signal is indicated by a particular flag pattern. We shoot the SFS videos by a monocular camera. The dataset is divided into five SFS classes. The improved CNN uses the Relu activation function, the max-pooling methods. It's alway use SFS data whitening and grayscale preprocessing methods. The improved CNN provides for partial invariance to different light, angles, scenes, and a group of people. The result shows that our approach classifies five SFS classes with 99.95% accuracy.
