Further Development

The paper presents the results of research on assessing the accuracy of angular position measurement relative to the sea horizon using a camera mounted on an unmanned bathymetric surveying vehicle of the Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) type. The first part of the article presents the essence of the problem. The rules of taking the angular position of the vehicle into account in bathymetric surveys and the general concept of the two-camera tilt compensator were described. The second part presents a mathematical description of the meters characterizing a resolution and a mean error of measurements, made on the base of the horizon line image, recorded with an optical system with a Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) matrix. The phenomenon of the horizon line curvature in the image projected onto the matrix that appears with the increase of the camera height has been characterized. The third part contains an example of a detailed analysis of selected cameras mounted on UAVs manufactured by DJI, carried out using the proposed meters. The obtained results including measurement resolutions of a single-pixel and mean errors of the horizon line slope measurement were presented in the form of many tables and charts with extensive comments. The final part presents the general conclusions from the performed research and a proposal of directions for their further development.

The Stability

Abstract An inverted pendulum system has been designed and constructed as a physical model of inherently unstable mechanical systems. The vertical upright position of a pendulum is controlled by changing the horizontal position of a cart to which the pendulum is hinged. The stability of the system has been investigated when a fuzzy controller is used to produce the control signal, while making a single measurement. It has been shown that by using simple fuzzy rules to allow real time computation with a single angular position measurement, the system can not be made absolutely stable. However, the stability and performance of the system have been considerably improved by shrinking the membership functions of angular position, computed angular velocity and control signal when inverted pendulum is very close to the vertical upright position.

In this study, we design and present a five-fold digital slit-lamp microscope (DSLM) with built-in photographic lens and CCD. The initial structures of the front objective, Galilean telescope system, and photographic lens are systematically investigated and discussed in the design. A progressive optimization process is employed in the non-coaxial system design after the coaxial system achieves high performance. The analysis of spot diagrams and the modulation transfer function (MTF) show that this DSLM optical system achieves quasi-diffraction-limited performance and enables high-quality imaging for ophthalmic examination. Furthermore, tolerance analysis of this optical system is also performed, which provides a theoretical basis for machining and assembly. This design provides an idea for the design of a digital-zoom microscope in biomedical imaging instruments.
