Study and analysis on a new optical detection design method for photoelectric detection target

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to improve photoelectric detection target (PDT) optical detection performance and detection view, by analyzing its influence factors and putting forward a new method to design its optical detection system.

Design/methodology/approach

Using rectangle linked photoelectric detector, with low noise and high response, to design optical detection system and gain faint projectile image information; bringing forward a deviating focusing technique to eliminate detection blind area of photoelectric detector; and designing adjustable slit diaphragm to weaken background light influence.

Findings

The results of experimentation in shooting range show that the new PDT has improved detection sensitivity and performance.

Originality/value

The paper presents a new design method in photoelectric detection target (PDT) optical detection system, which can provide a new method to design fire across measurement system and gain accurate projectile's coordinates data in the shooting range.
