Abstract:
A method for calibration of a digital sun sensor is disclosed. The method comprises following steps. First, an integrated mathematic model for imaging of a sun sensor is established according to the external and internal parameters of the calibration system of the sun sensor. Next, the two axis of the rotator are rotated by different angles. Then, calibration points' data are acquired and sent to a processing computer through an interface circuit. Finally, a two-step calibration program is implemented to calculate the calibration parameters by substituting the calibration points' data to the integrated mathematic model. The disclosure also relates to an application device of the calibration method. The device comprises: a sun simulator to provide the incident sunlight, a two-axis rotator to acquire different the calibration points' data, and a processing computer to record the calibration points' data and calculate the calibration parameters. The calibration method and device apply to many kinds of digital sun sensors. By integrated external and internal parameters modeling, the disclosure improves calibration precision. Meanwhile, the whole calibration process is simplified because precise installation and adjustment is not required.

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a rapid and high precision centroiding method for spots image comprising the following steps. First, the method requires convoluting the gray value of a pixel with a Gaussian filter and judging whether the result thereof exceeds a predetermined threshold. If the value exceeds the predetermined threshold, the method requires marking the current pixel with a flag to identify which spot it belongs to, and then accumulating the product of the gray value and a coordinate value of the same spot; and at the same time, accumulating the gray value of the same spot; and saving the results of the accumulation respectively. If the gray value of the pixel does not exceed the predetermined threshold, the method requires marking the current pixel as a background flag. After all pixels of the image has been disposed of completely, the method includes calculating a quotient of the accumulations of the product of the gray value and the coordinate value and the accumulations of the gray value, and outputting the quotients. At the same time, a centroiding system for spots image is also presented.

Abstract:
An optical sensor for use in measuring constituents of an agricultural product. An optical sensing window passes a stream of the agricultural product, and a radiation source irradiates the stream as it passes through the optical sensing window. A receiver receives radiation transmitted through the stream and converts it into a corresponding electrical signal using a spectrometer. The electrical signal is digitized to produce a series of data points corresponding to particular wavelengths. A processor normalizes the data points using a reference value in order to generate processed data points that can be used to predict a constituent content of the agricultural product.
