The method includes the steps of firstly, calculating the information entropy of corresponding images obtained according to the preset longest exposure time, the preset medium exposure time and the preset shortest exposure time; obtaining the theoretical optimal exposure time through a weighed average method according to all types of the information entropy, selecting one exposure time which is closest to the theoretical optimal exposure time from preset exposure time to serve as the current optimal exposure time, and recording the number of obtaining times of the current optimal exposure time; thirdly, judging whether the number of the obtaining times is smaller than or equal to a preset threshold value or not, executing the fourth step if the number of the obtaining times is smaller than or equal to the preset threshold value, and executing the sixth step if the number of the obtaining times is not smaller than or equal to the preset threshold value; fourthly, calculating the information entropy of the corresponding image which is obtained according to the current optimal exposure time; fifthly, renewing the longest exposure time, the medium exposure time, the shortest exposure time and the corresponding information entropy according to the current optimal exposure time, and executing the second step; sixthly, controlling an imaging camera to conduct unceasing imaging on a space target with the current optimal exposure time as the optimal exposure time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of space-based space object imaging, in particular to a space-based space object imaging exposure time adaptive control method and device for realizing adaptive control of camera exposure time based on information entropy. Background technique [0002] Under the constraints of space-based imaging conditions, the richness of image gray levels depends on the dynamic range of the sensor design itself. If the dynamic range of the sensor design is given, then choosing a reasonable exposure time and giving full play to the performance of the sensor itself can make the image content richest. [0003] At present, the automatic exposure time control methods commonly used in commercial cameras include central average metering, partial metering and spot metering. The most commonly used is central average metering, that is, when using conventional shooting, the subject is mostly located in the center of the field of view...
