The paper presents the method of measuring the distance to the object based on digital image processing. The solution is characterized in that the distance measurement to the object is performed by a motionless camera with established and unchanged parameters during measurement. The camera is equipped with a one non-stereoscopic lens. The measured distance is determined on the basis of one view of an object presented on one image. The image is made at a constant and invariant setting of the optical path such as: focus, aperture and focal length.

The nonlinear propagation of the Alfvén and magnetosonic waves in the solar corona is investigated in terms of model equations. Due to viscous effects taken into account the propagation of the Alfvén wave itself is governed by a Burgers-type equation. The Alfvén waves exhibit a tendency to drive both the slow and fast magnetosonic waves. For this process model equations are a generalization of the Zakharov equations. The propagation of the magnetosonic waves is described by linearized Boussinesq-type equations with ponderomotive terms due to the Alfvén wave. Both long and short Alfvén waves are considered. Also the limits of the slow and fast modes are investigated. An approximate shock wave solution has been found for a vertically propagating slow mode. Numerical results for the fast mode propagating perpendicular to the magnetic field show the effect of inhomogeneity and pumping on a shock as the solution of the homogeneous Burgers equation.

A new model equation governing the propagation of nonlinear pulses in optical fibres has been derived on the assumption of a saturated nonlinearity of the refractive index. This equation is a combination of the exponential nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the derivative one. It is valid for the long fibres. A modulational stability has been calculated to find out a cut-off in an angular frequency of a carrier wave. Moreover, it has been shown that the equation possesses family of stationary solutions. An initial value problem has been discussed on the basis of the implicit pseudo-spectral scheme.

The paper presents a technique for measuring membrane displacements with one motionless camera. The method relies on measuring the distance to an object based on one image obtained from a motionless camera with a fixed-focus lens. It is proven that the used technique allows monitoring the frequency and amplitude of vibration. The tests were performed for the oscillation frequency in the range from 0.5 Hz to 6 Hz and deviations from the neutral position in the range of ± 3 mm.

EN
The aim of the paper is to describe design of an optical sensor intended to analyze pupillary light reflex. It also presents the results of physiological adaptation mechanisms in human eye, i.e. response of the iris to changes in the intensity of light that falls on the retina of the eye under conditions of sensory deprivation. Pupillary light reflex is a closed loop nerve reflex. It controls the amount of light that reaches the retina. Based on the test results, an optical sensor was designed, fabricated and correctly calibrated. In comparative tests with the use of F^2D Fit-For-Duty, a commercial system by AMTech, selected pupillographic parameters were primarily evaluated (baseline pupil diameter, oscillations, reflex latency, maximum reaction time, pupil constriction time, pupil dilation time, and constriction amplitude) under conditions of diminished alertness, reduced ability to concentrate, increasing fatigue, and drowsiness. The solution comes as part of a mobile pupillography device intended to be assembled in cars and airplanes to identify conditions of lower alertness, reduced ability to concentrate, increasing fatigue and drowsiness in drivers, pilots and traffic controllers, and to trigger alarm and preventive measures, if necessary.

The aim of the paper is to discuss research conducted at the Military University of Technology as well as the Military Institute of Aviation Medicine. The essence of the research is to develop a pattern recognition algorithm for the analysis of data received from an eye tracker sensor. Data analysis can be done using computer vision algorithms. In the article the state of the art pattern recognition algorithms were presented. Particular attention was paid to the possibilities and limitations of their use. The main part of the paper is the presentation of the author's pattern recognition algorithm. In the paper we have also shown the results obtained by other techniques of image processing, which are frequently used to determine the position of the pupil of the eye on the image.

The aim of the publication is to describe the multifunctional optical sensor for analysis of dynamic pupillary light reflex developed by the authors which could be used as an objective indicator of human fatigue. The authors utilized knowledge gained from past experimental studies to develop a sensor, which along with custom software for detection of parameters of dynamic pupillary reflex provides a quick analysis of the human psychophysiological condition. Furthermore, the obtained parameters may also be utilized for medical purposes. The authors present the results of pilot studies prior to the development process of the sensory solution. The obtained result show that the type of light stimulation of the retina has a significant impact on the dynamic parameters of the pupillary reflex. The results played also an important role in shaping the structural assumptions of the sensor, so that it can serve as an indicator of the human fatigue level. The article includes results of experimental research conducted during the testing process of the sensor using various parameters of frequency light excitations, luminance and chrominance.

The aim of the article is to present the developed technique to measure the degree of neovascularisation of the cornea image in visible light. The study used an image sensor attached to a slit lamp. The proposed technique consists in performing segmentation of the color image to enhance blood vessels and setting values of the degree of cornea neovascularisation. Comparison of the indicator before and after treatment of the cornea can objectively assess the effectiveness of the adopted method of treatment.

The aim of the paper is to present a technique of reconstructing data received from a wireless sensor for measuring intraocular pressure. The algorithm was developed to automatically regenerate samples lost due to fortuitous events in clinical trials. The test consisted in measuring the pressure within 24 h, during which the intraocular pressure curve were determined. The paper also discusses the structure and the physical basis of sensor operation and shows the advantages resulting from its use.

We present simulation results of the impulsively generated linear and non-linear Alfvén waves in the weakly curved coronal magnetic flux-tubes (coronal funnels) and discuss their implications for the coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. We solve numerically the time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic equations to find the temporal signatures of the small and large-amplitude Alfvén waves in the model atmosphere of open and expanding magnetic field configuration with a realistic temperature distribution. We compute the maximum transversal velocity of both linear and non-linear Alfvén waves at different heights of the model atmosphere, and study their response in the solar corona during the time of their propagation. We infer that the pulse-driven non-linear Alfvén waves may carry sufficient wave energy fluxes to heat the coronal funnels and also to power the solar wind that originates in these funnels. Our study of linear Alfvén waves shows that they can contribute only to the plasma dynamics and heating of the funnel-like magnetic flux-tubes associated with the polar coronal holes.

Surface Waves along the Martian Ionopause

EN
We study the behaviour of surface waves propagating along the ionopause of the planet Mars and derive the onset criteria for unstable Kelvin-Helmholtz modes and negative energy waves at the Martian ionopause. Growth rate of unstable Kelvin-Helmholtz mode decreases with wavelength. The backward propagating waves became negative energy waves for the ionosheath velocity higher than critical velocity. It is found that short wavelength surface waves propagating along the Martian ionopause are less dispersive than long waves.
