The distortion model is identified simply based on Hilbert marginal spectral analysis after empirical mode decomposing.

In the traditional Ⅱ, the distortion originating from lens aberration wraps elemental images and degrades the image quality severely. According to the theoretical analysis and experiments, it can be proved that the farther the three-dimensional image is displayed from the lens array, the more serious the distortion is. To analyze the process of eliminating lens distortion, one lens and its corresponding elemental image are separated from the traditional Ⅱ. By introducing the directional diffuser, the aperture stop of the separated optical system changes from the eye＇s pupil to the lens. In terms of contrast experiments, the distortion of the improved display system is corrected effectively. In the experiment, when the distance between the reconstructed image and lens array is equal to 120 mm, the largest lens distortion is decreased from 46.6% to 3.3%.展开更多

The optimization of this kind of anode has been studied by both numerical simulations and experimental tests. It is found that to obtain good detector performance, the resistance ratio of the pads to the strips should be larger than 5, the nonuniformity of the pad surface resistivity should be less than 20%, a smaller pad width leads to a smaller spatial resolution, and when the pad width is 6 mm, the spatial resolution （a） can reach about 105 μm. Based on the study results, a 2-D GEM detector prototype with optimized resistive anode is constructed and a good imaging performance is achieved.展开更多

As a result, the image suffers from shape distortion, variable brightness, and blurred characters. This paper describes a method based on book shape analysis to address these problems. The algorithm utilizes the relation between the distance from a line segment on the book to the flat bed and its projected length. The correction process uses edge extraction, iterative boundary point computations, linear image transformation, and histogram modification. Experimental results show that the shape distortion and brightness variance problems are perfectly resolved by the method.展开更多
