Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric detection, and in particular to a single-frame high-quality shearing speckle interferometry phase extraction method, which aims to obtain high-quality phase comparable to that of traditional multi-frame phase deconvolution algorithms and complete single-frame high-quality extraction of the phase of shearing speckle interferometry. It also relates to a single-frame high-quality shearing speckle interferometry phase extraction device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid advancement of material processing technology, composite materials that combine lightweight characteristics with customizable mechanical properties have become an important direction in the field of material research and development, and are widely used in high-end industrial fields such as aerospace. However, composite materials are prone to defects during processing, and some components are often subjected to extreme working conditions (such as high temperature and high pressure environments) for a long time, resulting in frequent internal damage problems in the materials. Currently, the demand for quantitative testing, noise-resistant testing, and transient testing of composite materials in the field of industrial testing is increasing, and dynamic testing and high-precision testing are required for material testing.

[0003] Shear speckle interferometry (SSI) is a highly sensitive optical interferometry technique capable of detecting minute deformation gradients in a test piece. It requires recording speckle patterns before and after deformation, then performing phase extraction for quantitative analysis. With increasing industrial demand for dynamic and high-precision detection, quantitative accuracy and dynamic detection capabilities have become two key development goals for SSI. Therefore, as one of the core steps in SSI, achieving high-quality dynamic phase extraction simultaneously has become a key research topic.

[0004] The most classic phase extraction method for shear speckle interferometry is the time-shifting method. Because shear speckle interferometry requires phase extraction both before and after the DUT deforms, this classic phase-shifting method is known as the N+N (N=3, 4, 5, etc.) time-shifting method. Piezoelectric ceramics, due to their simple structure and precise control of the phase-shifting step size, have become the mainstream phase-shifting device for this method. The N+N time-shifting method for shear speckle interferometry achieves high phase extraction quality, resulting in clear fringe boundaries and facilitating subsequent unwrapping processing. However, this method requires at least three speckle image frames to calculate the phase, making it difficult to measure the dynamic deformation of the DUT.

[0005] To achieve dynamic detection, some researchers have conducted research based on spatial carrier methods. Spatial carrier technology extracts phase information using a fixed spatial carrier frequency for single-frame dephasing. However, due to spectral aliasing and the low signal-to-noise ratio caused by the aperture, the phase extraction quality of spatial carrier algorithms is poor. These factors often lead to phase ambiguity and discontinuity in the phase extraction results of spatial carriers, which directly leads to errors in subsequent phase unwrapping and limits the application of shearing speckle interferometry for quantitative analysis.

[0006] Another group of scholars have improved the dynamic detection capability of the time phase shifting method by improving it. Some scholars have realized dynamic phase extraction based on N (N = 3, 4, 5, etc.) frames of speckle images before the deformation of the test piece and 1 frame of speckle image after deformation. This method is called the N+1 time phase shifting method. This type of method sacrifices phase quality while achieving dynamic detection, and the calculated phase is ambiguous and broken. In addition, some scholars have proposed the N+2 time phase shifting method, but this method only makes a trade-off between accuracy and dynamic detection capability between the N+N and N+1 methods, and still cannot achieve dynamic high-precision phase extraction at the same time.

[0007] However, the existing shearing speckle interferometry phase extraction technology cannot achieve single-frame and high-quality phase extraction at the same time. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a single-frame high-quality shearing speckle interferometry phase extraction method. The method uses a neural network to repair the low-quality phase obtained by the traditional single-frame phase deconvolution algorithm. The quality of the obtained phase is comparable to that of the traditional multi-frame phase deconvolution algorithm. The single-frame advantage of the single-frame phase deconvolution method and the high-quality advantage of the multi-frame phase deconvolution method are strongly combined to complete the single-frame high-quality extraction of the phase of shearing speckle interferometry.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention is: this single-frame high-quality shearing speckle interferometry phase extraction method comprises the following steps:

[0010] (1) Dataset preparation: In the shear speckle interferometry system, piezoelectric ceramics are used for phase shifting. The N+N time phase shifting method is used to obtain high-quality phases. Noise is added to obtain the corresponding low-quality phases to complete the dataset preparation.

[0014] (5) Single-frame phase extraction: Phase extraction is performed based on the N+1 time phase shifting method. Based on the N-frame phase shifting interferogram when the DUT is stationary, the phase is extracted using the 1-frame interferogram after the DUT is deformed to obtain a low-quality phase distribution.

[0015] (6) Phase repair: Use the phase repair network obtained in step (3) to repair the phase of step

[0016] The low-quality phase obtained in (5) is repaired to finally obtain a high-quality phase distribution.

This method utilizes a neural network to repair the low-quality phase obtained by traditional single-frame dephasing algorithms. The resulting phase quality is comparable to that of traditional multi-frame dephasing algorithms. This method combines the single-frame advantages of single-frame dephasing methods with the precision advantages of time dephasing methods to achieve high-quality single-frame phase extraction using shearing speckle interferometry. The entire process is convenient and efficient, with a low detection threshold, achieving single-frame, high-quality phase extraction, which is more beneficial for industrial inspection and material maintenance.

[0068] The following is a detailed description of a specific embodiment of the present invention. A single-frame high-quality shearing speckle interferometry phase extraction method is implemented in the following manner:

[0069] The process of establishing a single-frame high-quality shearing speckle interferometry phase extraction method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the specific implementation steps are:

[0070] Step 1: Dataset creation

[0071] In the example, Figure 2 In the shear speckle interferometry system shown in the figure, 1031 groups of 4+4 time phase shifting method phase extraction experiments were carried out, and the results were obtained. Figure 3 The high-quality phase image shown. After adding Gaussian noise to each group, we get Figure 4 The corresponding low-quality phase image is shown. A total of 20,620 data sets were collected. The data size was 224×224, and the dataset was divided into training, validation, and test sets in a ratio of 7:2:1 for network training.

[0072] Step 2: Neural Network Construction

[0073] In this example, the swin-unet network structure is built using pytorch, and the input and output dimensions are both 224×224.

[0074] Step 3: Neural Network Training

[0075] In this example, RMS is used as the loss function. For the first 400 epochs, the learning rate is set to 1e-4 to accelerate optimization. During epochs 400-500, the learning rate is reduced to 5e-5 for fine-tuning the network. Adam is used as the optimizer.

[0076] Step 4: DUT testing

[0077] In this example, piezoelectric ceramics are used to capture four phase-shifted images before the DUT deforms, and real-time single-frame images are captured during deformation. The camera model is BFS-U3-200S6C-C, with a resolution of 2736*1824 and a pixel size of 2.4μm.

[0078] Step 5: Single frame phase extraction

[0079] In this example, a 4+1 time phase shifting method is used for phase extraction.

[0080] Step 6: Phase Repair

[0081] In this example, the low-quality phase obtained by the 4+1 temporal phase shifting method is cropped and scaled to ensure that the image dimension of the input network is 224×224. The network directly outputs a high-quality phase with an accuracy comparable to that of the four-step phase shifting method.

[0082] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0083] 1. The single-frame high-quality shearing speckle interferometry phase extraction method disclosed in the present invention does not require complex optical path devices or complex post-processing algorithms, and can combine the advantages of single-frame phase extraction and multi-frame phase extraction to achieve single-frame high-quality phase extraction.
