Problems solved by technology

[0005] Ayers et al. proposed an iterative blind image restoration method, which uses single-frame degraded images and positive constraints to restore the real target, but it can only deal with the case where the point spread function is small, and the convergence cannot be guaranteed; Conan et al. proposed a A Restoration Method for f(x, y) and h(x, y) Using the Zernike Multinomial Distribution Law under the Kolmogorov Atmospheric Turbulence Model
However, in actual observations, the atmospheric turbulence does not fit the Kolmogorov model well, so the method has poor adaptability

Embodiment 1

[0044] As shown in Figure 2, the human eye image of the present invention is used for restoration. (a) is a degraded image of 100 pixels×100 pixels that has not been corrected by the adaptive optics system, (b) is the image after adaptive optics correction, and (c) is the residual error recorded by the corrected wavefront sensor For the slope data, (d) is the wavefront aberration restored from (c), (e) is the point spread function corresponding to the wavefront aberration, and (f) is the image restored by the present invention. It can be seen from the experimental results that the quality of the restored image is greatly improved compared to (a) and (b), reflecting more details. The entire calculation process went through 25 iterations and took 20 seconds.

Embodiment 2

[0046] The application of the present invention is used to restore the partially corrected image of the adaptive optical system, as shown in FIG. 3. (a)~(c) are three frames of 100 pixels×100 pixels stellar target after adaptive optical correction. (d) is the result of secondary correction by the method of the present invention. Experiments show that the restoration results are better. It can be seen from Figure 3 that under the same energy, the peak value of (d) is 2.56 times, 2.47 and 1.49 times higher than that of (a) ~ (c), which means that the Strehl ratio is increased by 2.56 times. , 2.47 and 1.49 times. Figure 4 compares the cross-sectional views of Figure 3 (a) and (d). It can be further found from Figure 4 that after the second correction, the FWHM of Figure 3(d) is increased by nearly 4 pixels compared to Figure 3(a), reaching 5.9 pixels, which is close to the diffraction limit of the entire optical system of 4.8 pixels. The entire restoration process converges after 25...

Embodiment 3

[0048] As shown in Figure 5, (a) to (c) are also three frames of 100 pixels×100 pixels stellar targets after adaptive optical correction, but the system correction quality is improved compared to Example 1. (d) is the result of secondary correction by the method of the present invention. The experimental results also show that the restoration results are better. The Strehl of (d) is also greatly improved compared to (a) to (c). Figure 6 compares the cross-sectional views of Figure 5 (a) and (d). It can be seen from Fig. 6 that the full width at half maximum of (d) is 4.9 pixels, which is nearly 1 pixel higher than that of (a), which has reached the diffraction limit of the system. The entire restoration process went through 15 iterations and took 20 seconds.

Abstract

The invention relates to a multiframe self-adaptive optical image high resolution restoration method by utilization of wavefront data, comprising the following steps: firstly, a multiframe short exposure degraded image gm (x, y) and a corresponding slope signal of a wavefront sensor are recorded continuously; secondly, the slope signal is restored into a point spread function hm (x, y) by utilization of wavefront residuals, and the function is taken as a guess starting point; thirdly, an estimated value f(x, y) of a real image is restored by utilization of the short exposure degraded image gm (x, y) and the point spread function hm (x, y), and an estimated value f(x, y) is obtained after addition of positivity limitation on the estimated value f(x, y); fourthly, an estimated value hm (x, y) of the point spread function is obtained by utilization of the short exposure degraded image gm (x, y) and the estimated value f(x, y), and an estimated value h(x, y) is obtained after addition of positivity limitation in the same way; fifthly, iteration stopping conditions are defined, if the iteration stopping conditions are not met, the third step is returned until convergence. The invention has the advantages of quick convergence speed, capability of being adaptive to different degraded images obtained under the condition of wavefront disturbances with different types and degrees, effective compensation of correction capability under hardware limitation of a self-adaptive optical system, and improvement of imaging quality.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to image processing technology, and proposes an image restoration method for an adaptive optical system. Background technique [0002] Image restoration is the estimation process of obtaining the real image from the observed degraded image. The imaging model can be expressed as: [0003] g(x,y)=f(x,y)h(x,y)+n(x,y) (1) [0004] In the formula, g(x, y) represents the observed degraded image; f(x, y) represents the real target, which is the target to be restored; h(x, y) represents the point spread function of the optical system, which is used to describe the wave Front phase difference; n(x, y) represents system noise; "" represents cyclic convolution. Due to factors such as insufficient freedom of the deformable mirror and inaccurate measurement of the wavefront sensor, the adaptive optics system often cannot achieve complete correction of the degraded image. Therefore, the partially corrected image results need to be restored...
