Rate-integrating gyroscope (RIG) operation is an attractive operation scheme for micro gyroscopes, because it can provide direct angle measurement and a high dynamic range. However, its zero rate output (ZRO) has a severe drift issue. This work compared the difference between rate and rate-integrating gyroscope operations, and further modeled the gyroscope with asymmetric error terms. Then the influences of these non-ideal factors were analyzed to abridge the ZRO drift phenomena and the sources. The numerical verification proved the theory that such an oscillation pattern is caused by the stiffness mismatch, and decaying to X/Y axis manner resulted from the damping errors. The conclusions can contribute to aiding engineers to rapidly locate the bottlenecks of RIG operations.

Extending the dynamic range can present much richer contrasts and physical information from the traditional low dynamic range (LDR) images. To tackle this, we propose a method to generate a high dynamic range image from a single LDR image. In addition, a technique for the matching between the histogram of a high dynamic range (HDR) image and the original image is introduced. To evaluate the results, we utilize the dynamic range for independent image quality assessment. It recognizes the difference in subtle brightness, which is a significant role in the assessment of novel lighting, rendering, and imaging algorithms. The results show that the picture quality is improved, and the contrast is adjusted. The performance comparison with other methods is carried out using the predicted visibility (HDR-VDP-2). Compared to the results obtained from other techniques, our extended HDR images can present a wider dynamic range with a large difference between light and dark areas.
