Informatics of optoelectronic measurements: Science and innovative industrial technologies

Major scientific achievements and practical results obtained by Prof. V.G. Meledin and his group at the Institute of Thermophysics SB RAS in the field of physical experimental diagnostics and informatics of optoelectronic measurements are revewed. These large-scale and productive results are successfully used in various fields of science and technology. This paper is divided into several sections. These are as follows: Semiconductor Doppler laser anemometry of multiphase flows; Diagnostics in water power engineering and hydraulic turbine machine building, optimization of operation regimes and safety of hydropower plants, dynamic monitoring of the geometry of loaded rotors of super-high-power generating units, methods and systems for laser diagnostics of flows behind hydroturbines to increase efficiency and safety; Laser monitoring of velocities and linear sizes of hot rolled metal in metallurgy. Monitoring of the geometry of railway wheels; investigations and optimization of nonvolatile memory of new generation in molecular electronics; Systems of machine vision and processing of multi-dimensional signals; Information monitoring in the glass industry; Optoelectronic complexes for endoscopy in medicine; Optoelectronic diagnostics of coordinates and shapes of 3D objects in machine building; Information diagnostics in atomic power engineering, 3D velocity fields of heat carrier flow in fuel assembly of power reactors, the geometry of separating lattices of power reactors; Computer visualization: dynamic structure of boiling jets; Informatics of physical experiments, computer videoanemometry of floating bubbles, gravitational-capillary waves and hydrodynamic quasicrystals; Multiplhase borehole flowmeter survey in oil production.
