Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerospace technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for removing interference hyperspectral fringes. Background Technology

[0002] The hyperspectral imager carried on the Environment and Disaster Reduction Satellite-2 is a spatiotemporally modulated interferometric imaging spectrometer. This spectrometer generates a three-dimensional image containing both spatial and interferometric information by pushing and sweeping the entire field of view. Fourier transforming the interferogram yields the spectral distribution of the light source target, and after processing by the data image system, a hyperspectral image can be synthesized. Spatiotemporally modulated interferometric spectrometers possess the advantages of potentially high throughput, multiple channels, and high spectral resolution, demonstrating significant development potential and application prospects.

[0003] The interferometric spectrometer aboard the Environment and Disaster Reduction Satellite-2 faces inherent challenges and imperfections during imaging due to limitations in current devices and manufacturing processes. Among these, suppressing and processing parasitic ghost images is a crucial aspect of data processing. Parasitic ghost images are caused by insufficient light transmission enhancement at the interface between the detector's silicon surface and air. Light reflected from the detector passes through a Fourier mirror and re-enters the interferometer, where it is then dispersed before passing back through the Fourier mirror and entering the detector a second time. This results in new interferometric data superimposed on the true interferometric data. The presence of parasitic ghost images negatively impacts the signal-to-noise ratio and spectral accuracy of the hyperspectral data. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Figure 2 A schematic diagram illustrating a process for removing interference hyperspectral fringes according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0037] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an interference hyperspectral stripe removal device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0038] During the spectral reconstruction of interferometric images using an interferometric imaging spectrometer, parasitic ghost images are generated, with fringes superimposed on the interferometric image, resulting in a wavy appearance across the entire optical field of view in the reconstructed image. This ghost image noise can be removed by performing a Multi-Negative-Negative-Negative (MNF) transform on the interferometric data. First, a forward transform is performed to identify which spectral bands contain relevant images. Then, an inverse MNF transform is performed, using spectral subsets or methods to smooth the noise before the inverse transform to eliminate the noise. Finally, the image obtained after spectral reconstruction is free of the noise caused by the ghost images.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Reference Figure 1 The flowchart illustrates the steps of an interference hyperspectral fringe removal method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0042] Step 101: Based on the characteristics of the interferometric spectrometer data, arrange the original interferometric data cubes of each image in row order.

[0043] In this embodiment, during the spectral reconstruction of the interferometric image by the interferometric imaging spectrometer, parasitic ghost images are generated and superimposed on the interferometric image.

[0044] After acquiring the interferometric images, the raw interferometric data cubes for each image can be arranged in row order according to the characteristics of the interferometric spectrometer data. In specific implementation, the LAMIS can be transposed into a (space * pushbroom * interferometric) image based on the characteristics of the interferometric spectrometer data. The specific operation is as follows: The raw interferometric data LAMIS for each image is arranged in row order. The third dimension of this interferometric data cube is the interferometric dimension, where each band is a quick view of the optical path difference at the corresponding position. Taking the visible and near-infrared spectrum of the HAVE2 satellite as an example, the V dimension of the transposed interferometric data cube is 1990 (rows) * 2048 (detectors) * 256 (interferometric dimensions).

[0045] Simultaneously, relative radiometric correction can be performed on the original interferometric data after arrangement. Radiometric correction refers to the correction of systematic and random radiometric distortions or aberrations caused by external factors and data acquisition and transmission systems, eliminating or correcting image distortions caused by radiometric errors. The main factors contributing to radiometric errors (i.e., grayscale distortion) in remote sensing images include: ① atmospheric scattering and absorption of electromagnetic radiation; ② changes in solar altitude and sensor observation angle; ③ changes in radiation intensity caused by terrain undulations; ④ differences in sensor detection system performance, such as differences in sensitivity, spectral response, and light transmission performance of optical systems or different detectors; ⑤ image processing, such as photographic processing. Image grayscale distortion is related to the image's spatial frequency. The higher the spatial frequency, i.e., the smaller the target, the greater the radiometric error. Radiometric correction is actually a component of image restoration (or reconstruction).

[0046] After arranging the raw interferometric data cubes of each image in row order according to the characteristics of the interferometric spectrometer data, step 102 is executed.

[0047] Step 102: Perform MNF transformation on the original arranged interferometric data to obtain the transformed interferometric data cube.

[0048] After arranging the original interferometric data cubes of each image in row order according to the characteristics of the interferometric spectrometer data, the arranged original interferometric data can be subjected to MNF transformation to obtain the transformed interferometric data cubes.

[0049] Minimum Noise Fraction Rotation (MNF) can be used to determine the inherent dimensionality (i.e., number of bands) of image data, separate noise from the data, and reduce the computational requirements in subsequent processing.

[0050] MNF is essentially a two-tiered principal component transformation. The first transformation (based on the estimated noise covariance matrix) separates and readjusts the noise in the data, resulting in transformed noisy data with minimal variance and no inter-band correlation. The second step is a standard principal component transformation on the noise-whitened data. For further spectral processing, the intrinsic dimension of the data is determined by examining the final eigenvalues ​​and related images. The data space can be divided into two parts: one part correlated with larger eigenvalues ​​and their corresponding eigenimages, and the other part correlated with approximately the same eigenvalues ​​and noise-dominated images.

[0051] After performing MNF transformation on the original arranged interferometric data to obtain the transformed interferometric data cube, step 103 is executed.

[0052] Step 103: Select the interferometric data cubes without ghost images from the transformed interferometric data cubes.

[0053] After performing a Multi-Nutrition Fault Transform (MNF) on the original arranged interferometric data to obtain transformed interferometric data cubes, interferometric data cubes without ghost images can be selected from them. In specific implementations, after obtaining the transformed interferometric data cubes, denoising and signal separation processes are performed on them to obtain processed interferometric data cubes. Then, an inverse MNF transform is performed on the processed interferometric data cubes to obtain inverse transformed interferometric data cubes. The inverse transformed interferometric data cubes are then sorted according to the signal-to-noise ratio of the bands to obtain sorted inverse transformed interferometric data cubes. The first N interferometric data cubes without ghost images, where N is a positive integer, are selected from the sorted inverse transformed interferometric data cubes. In this example, N = 5.

[0054] After filtering out the interferometric data cubes without ghost images from the transformed interferometric data cubes, step 104 is performed.

[0055] Step 104: Perform spectral restoration processing on the interferometric data cube to obtain a spectral image.

[0056] After filtering out interferometric data cubes without ghost images from the transformed interferometric data cubes, spectral restoration processing can be performed on the interferometric data cubes to obtain spectral images.

[0057] In the above process, the interference dimension of the interferometric imaging data is denoised. Signal-noise separation is achieved through Minimal Noise Reduction (MNF) transformation. The signal residue caused by parasitic ghost images remains after the principal components. The parasitic ghost images are eliminated by performing an inverse MNF transformation on the first five principal components. This method combines minimum noise separation to remove the fringe noise caused by parasitic ghost images, effectively meeting the spectral quality requirements of interferometric imager data processing.

[0058] The above implementation process can be combined with Figure 2 The following description is provided.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a process for removing interference hyperspectral fringes according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2As shown, after obtaining the original LAMIS interferogram, relative radiometric correction and LAMIS transpose can be performed on it to obtain a (spatial * pushbroom * interferometry) image. Then, MNF transformation and inverse MNF transformation are performed, and the parasitic ghost image LAMSIS is selected. Finally, the parasitic ghost image-removed LAMSIS is subjected to spectral restoration processing to obtain fringe-free spectral data. This process incorporates minimum noise separation to remove the fringe noise caused by parasitic ghost images, effectively meeting the spectral quality requirements of interferometric imager data processing.
