Diffractive elements for imaging optics of mobile communication devices
Статья научная
An estimate of the permissible width of the working spectral range of optical systems with diffractive elements is given. It takes into account the interval of the angles of incidence of the radiation on the microstructure of the element and it proceeds from the requirement that there is no halo in the image that is visualized by the LCD monitor. It is shown that the design parameters of diffractive elements intended for mobile device cameras are quite achievable for today's technologies of mass production of plastic optics.

Parallel implementation of a multi-view image segmentation algorithm using the Hough transform
Статья научная
We report on the parallel implementation of a multi-view image segmentation algorithm via segmenting the corresponding three-dimensional scene. The algorithm includes the reconstruction of a three-dimensional scene model in the form of a point cloud, and the segmentation of the resulting point cloud in three-dimensional space using the Hough space. The developed parallel algorithm was implemented on graphics processing units using CUDA technology. Experiments were performed to evaluate the speedup and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The developed parallel program was tested on modelled scenes.

Parallel implementation of the informative areas generation method in the spatial spectrum domain
Статья научная
This paper proposes a parallel implementation of the image informative segments extraction method. The images are segmented in the spatial spectrum domain. The median energy in each selected segment is viewed upon as an area. For purposes of time savings, a parallel implementation of the algorithm for calculating the areas is developed. The developed approach to the parallel algorithm implementation is tested on a high performance multicore computing system. The experiments have shown that the parallel implementation of the method allows us to obtain a three-fold speedup, which is a good result.

Three-dimensional model of quantum dots' self-assembly under the action of laser radiation
Статья научная
This study considered a process of quantum dots' self-assembly into nanostructure arrays with predefined geometry, which proceeds in the external resonant laser field. We considered the simplest case of assembling a stable structure of two particles. The problem was solved numerically using a three-dimensional model of Brownian dynamics. The idea of the method is that the attraction of the dots occurs due to the interaction of resonantly induced dipole moments, with the dots being then captured by the Van der Waals force. Finally, a three-dimensional model was considered; the average nanoparticle aggregation time as a function of the laser radiation wavelength was calculated; the probability of such structures' being formed was estimated for the calculated average aggregation time and for the laser pulse duration used in the experiment. The wavelength of the maximum probability was found to be shifted from the single particle resonance wavelength of 525 nm to the red area of 535 nm, which is in qualitative agreement with the redshift of the resonance wavelength of interacting particles.

Threshold image target segmentation technology based on intelligent algorithms
Статья научная
This paper briefly introduces the optimal threshold calculation model and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for image segmentation and improves the PSO algorithm. Then the standard PSO algorithm and improved PSO algorithm were used in MATLAB software to make simulation analysis on image segmentation. The results show that the improved PSO algorithm converges faster and has higher fitness value; after the calculation of the two algorithms, it is found that the improved PSO algorithm is better in the subjective perspective, and the image obtained by the improved PSO segmentation has higher regional consistency and takes shorter time in the perspective of quantitative objective data. In conclusion, the improved PSO algorithm is effective in image segmentation.

Vortex-free laser beam with an orbital angular momentum
Статья научная
We show that if one cylindrical lens is placed in the Gaussian beam waist and another cylindrical lens is placed at some distance from the first one and rotated by some angle, then the laser beam after the second lens has an orbital angular momentum (OAM). An explicit analytical expression for the OAM of such a beam is obtained. Depending on the inter-lens distance, the OAM can be positive, negative, or zero. Such a laser beam has no isolated intensity s with a singular phase and it is not an optical vortex, but has an OAM. By choosing the radius of the beam waist of the source Gaussian beam, the focal lengths of the lenses and the distance between them, it is possible to generate a vortex-free laser beam equivalent to an optical vortex with a topological charge of several hundreds.
