The invention relates to the technical field of
adaptive optics, and particularly provides a
wavefront detection
system for a dark and weak target under a strong
sky background, the
wavefront detection
system comprises a Shack-Hartmann
wavefront sensor system and a wavefront detection
processing unit, the Shack-Hartmann
wavefront sensor system carries out wavefront detection on a
short wave infrared band of 1.3-1.7 [mu] m, and the wavefront detection
processing unit carries out wavefront detection on the
short wave infrared band of 1.3-1.7 [mu] m. And the wavefront detection
processing unit corrects a sub-aperture image obtained by detection through a weighted self-threshold local contrast
algorithm, performs self-threshold operation on pixels in a center unit according to a gray scale ratio weight of the center unit and a background unit of the sub-aperture image, introduces an energy weight to eliminate PNHB
noise, and reconstructs a
centroid of the sub-aperture image. According to the invention, a Shack-Hartmann
wavefront sensor system is applied to a short-wave
infrared band, so that a
sky background spectrum is effectively blocked, the target brightness is ensured,
background light radiation photons received by a
detector are reduced to the greatest extent, various noises and background interferences are inhibited by optimizing a threshold
algorithm, and the wavefront detection precision is remarkably improved.
