The invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle autonomous obstacle detection system and method based on binocular vision and an unmanned aerial vehicle. According to the technical features, the system comprises a binocular vision system arranged on the unmanned aerial vehicle, other sensor modules and a flight control system; the method comprises the steps that the binocular vision system obtains visual information of an unmanned aerial vehicle flight environment, and the visual information is processed to obtain obstacle information; an other sensor unit obtains unmanned aerial vehicle state information; the flight control system receives the obstacle information and the unmanned aerial vehicle state information, establishes a flight path, generates a flight control command and sendsthe flight control command to the unmanned aerial vehicle; the unmanned aerial vehicle avoids obstacles for flying according to the flight control command. The unmanned aerial vehicle autonomous obstacle detection system and method based on the binocular vision and the unmanned aerial vehicle have the advantages that the visual information and other sensor information are combined, flight environment information is perceived, flight path control and path planning are performed to evade the obstacles, so that the problem of unmanned aerial vehicle visual obstacle avoidance is effectively solved, and the unmanned aerial vehicle has the ability to achieve the visual obstacle avoidance by using an airborne camera.

Method and apparatus for compensating for first-order Polarization Mode Dispersion in an optical transmission system. An apparatus has a polarization controller for transforming polarization components of an optical signal carried by the optical fiber into orthogonal polarization states, a variable delay line for introducing a variable differential time delay between the polarization states and for producing an output optical signal that is compensated for PMD in the optical fiber, and a feedback unit for adjusting the polarization controller and the variable delay line to compensate for variations in the PMD of the optical fiber, the feedback unit including apparatus for generating a plurality of independent control signals to independently control actuators of the polarization controller and the variable delay line. The invention provides for a reduction in response time of the actuators and a reduction in complexity of an algorithm used to control the apparatus.
