Wavefront coding (WFC) imaging systems can redistribute the energy of an interference laser spot on an image plane sensor by wavefront phase modulation and reduce the peak intensity, realizing laser protection while maintaining imaging functionality by leveraging algorithmic post-processing. In this paper, a spiral axicon WFC imaging system is proposed, and the performance for laser protection is investigated by constructing a laser transmission model. An Airy disk on an image plane sensor is refactored into a symmetrical hollow ring by a spiral axicon phase mask, and the maximum intensity can be reduced to lower than 1% and single-pixel power to 1.2%. The spiral axicon phase mask exhibits strong robustness to the position of the interference laser source and can effectively reduce the risk of sensor damage for an almost arbitrary lase propagation distance. Moreover, we revealed that there is a sensor hazard distance for both conventional and WFC imaging systems where the maximum single-pixel power reaches a peak value under irradiation of a power-fixed laser source. Our findings can offer guidance for the anti-laser reinforcement design of photoelectric imaging systems, thereby enhancing the adaptability of imaging systems in a complex laser environment. The laser blinding-resistant imaging system has potential applications in security monitoring, autonomous driving, and intense-laser-pulse experiments.

We present a system to measure 3-dimensional coordinates of huge structures like ships, buildings and oil tanks. Two important units are a laser spot projector and a laser spot tracker. Employing a tactful image processing, our system has some features :e.g. compactness, cost, accuracy and robustness to hazardous emvironments.

In order to measure the retina thickness, there are to need the 3-D retina photographing and the high speed signal processing system. In this paper, we introduced the retina photographing system and the 16-channel high speed image data acquisition system. There are able to measure the retina thickness with sensing image the returned laser signal to APD sensor after there were projected the HeNe laser on retina. We developed the laser projection system to sense a reflected image of the retina using APD sensor, the 16-channel high speed A/D converter and PCI master interface card for image transmission into computer.

The determination of surface topography is believed to be extremely important in the areas of contact mechanics, adhesion and friction. In order to describe topography of various frictional surface, the wear test was carried out under different experimental conditions in dry friction. And fractal descriptors was applied to frictional surface of laser modified steel with image processing system. These descriptors to analyze surface structure are fractal dimension. Surface fractal dimension can be determined by sum of intensity difference of surface pixel. Topography of frictional surface can be effectively obtained by fractal dimensions.

The methods suggested up to now for 3-dimensional anthroponetry require much efforts and costs in measuring and analysing. To solve these problems, we adopt the methods such as Moire Interferometry, Image processing and Computer Vision Technique which are efficient in processing anthropomorphic data. Moire contourgraph was constructed by using Ar-ion laser as a light source (2 Watt power and 5145 A wavelength) and laser beam expander(20X). Image data can be 3-dimensionally reconstructed as the surface patch and geographical relation between faces expressed by mash-point and edges as units. This research is focused on the followings; 1) Development of an economical and reliable measuring method. 2) Design of reproduction methods of 3-dimensional human body data. Therefore, our research makes it possible to study further advanced quantitative analysis of human body.

Particle Image Velocimetry combined with developed image processing method is adopted to study the liquid-solid two phase flow in the centrifugal pump impeller with crystallization phenomenon. The tracer particle is used to follow the liquid phase, which has the diameter between 8 to $12{\mu}m$. The crystal particle precipitates from the sodium sulfate solution does change the wavelength of the laser, and which has great laser scattering characteristics. The diameter of the crystal particle is larger than $20{\mu}m$. Through calculating the diameter of the particles in the image, the tracer particle and the crystal particle can be distinguished. By analyzing the experimental result, the following conclusion has been obtained. During the delay period, there is not any crystal particle and the pump performance has not been changed. As the crystallization process begins, the crystal nuclei appears from the supersaturation solution and grows larger with temperature decreasing, which has the tendency of moving towards the pressure side. The characteristics of liquid-solid two phase flow with crystallization phenomenon in the pump are obtained according to analysis of experimental results, and some guiding advices are presented to mitigate the crystallization phenomenon in pump impeller.

We fabricated the diffraction grating on the surface of fused silica glass using a femtosecond laser. The grooves of diffraction grating has a lot of micro crack and debris result in reduced diffraction efficiency. So, we polished the diffraction grating with $CO_2$ laser beam. With different scan number of $CO_2$ laser beam, we observed the image of diffraction grating and measured the diffraction efficiency.

In this paper, we proposed an omnidirectional ranging system that is able to obtain $360^{\circ}$ all directional distances effectively based on structured light image. The omnidirectional ranging system consists of laser structured light source and a catadioptric omnidirectional camera with a curved mirror. The proposed integro-differential structured light image processing algorithm makes the ranging system robust against environmental illumination condition. The omnidirectional ranging system is useful for map-building and self-localization of a mobile robot.
