Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catadioptric optical imaging technology, and more specifically to a deep learning optical imaging system design method based on complex function neural networks. Background Technology
[0002] Optical system design, or simply optical design, is the process of determining the design specifications that meet the user's requirements, including the performance parameters, dimensions, first-order parameters, and structure of each optical group of the optical system.
[0003] The traditional optical system design process usually includes: (1) design or selection of the initial structure; (2) dozens or even hundreds of Maxwell electromagnetic field simulations are required; (3) based on the design indicators, an optimization function is established to optimize the optical design. This type of optical design process has been solidified into the basic thinking of optical designers and R&D personnel, but it has fallen into a technical bottleneck. The main inherent technical disadvantages of this method are as follows: (1) dozens or even hundreds of Maxwell electromagnetic field simulations are required, which is time-consuming and computationally expensive. The optimization algorithm and partial differential iterative optimization algorithm in lens design consume a lot of CPU threads. Optical imaging design involving interference models and diffraction models not only consumes CPU threads, but also requires real-time memory space of the computer for multi-dimensional matrix operations. (2) Designers must spend a lot of time and energy on preparation, modeling and optimization. Deviations in modeling conditions will cause the design to fail completely, and it is difficult to find the cause of the optical design failure. (3) In the traditional design of optical imaging systems, the optimization algorithms used are based on the least squares method or improved algorithms of the least squares method. During the optimization process, it is easy to get stuck in local solutions and it is difficult to find the global optimal solution.
[0004] Deep learning-based artificial intelligence technology not only provides new ideas in algorithms but also offers new means in terms of computing hardware such as graphics processing units (GPUs) or tensor processing units (TPUs). It has significantly improved both the algorithm (software) and parallel computing (hardware) aspects of many optical algorithms. Since 2012, it has been widely applied in computer vision and image processing, primarily through a data-driven approach that reduces the reliance on known boundary conditions. Currently, it is divided into two main categories: data-driven deep learning and deep learning based on complex function neural networks. This data-driven approach quickly encountered bottlenecks in various optical technologies, revealing numerous problems such as incorrect training, overtraining, and limited applicability. Deep learning algorithms based on complex function neural networks, built upon actual physical models, have broader application value. In particular, compared to traditional data-driven deep learning, algorithms based on complex function neural networks offer faster optimization speeds and more accurate optimization results.
[0005] However, in recent years, deep learning models have begun to be used to guide the design, construction, and training of networks for deep optics, and are currently mainly applied to the design optimization of devices and systems such as photonic computing. This patent proposes for the first time a design optimization method for lens-type catadioptric optical element imaging systems based on complex function neural networks. Drawing on breakthroughs in deep learning algorithms based on complex function neural networks, the design methods for optical imaging systems based on deep learning have a clearer direction for evolution. Applying deep learning algorithms based on complex function neural networks to the design optimization of lens-type catadioptric imaging systems fundamentally improves upon the shortcomings of least squares optimization algorithms in traditional optical imaging systems, significantly increasing optimization speed and accuracy.
[0006] Therefore, how to solve the design optimization problem of traditional optical imaging systems based on the least squares method, and realize a faster and more convenient design process for optical imaging systems, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a design method for a deep learning optical imaging system based on complex function neural networks, addressing the problems in the prior art.
[0008] Therefore, the above-mentioned objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0009] The design method for deep learning optical imaging systems based on complex function neural networks includes the following steps:
[0010] Step 1: Using the object distance, system focal length, and F-number as inputs, determine the image distance and imaging scaling ratio based on the imaging relationship of an ideal optical system.
[0011] Step 2: Calculate the image-side image of the ideal optical system based on the imaging scaling ratio and the object-side image of the ideal optical system.
[0012] Step 3: Construct a complex function generator network model, which includes a first layer network, a second layer network, ..., an Nth layer network. The first layer network consists of the curvature, refractive index, and physical spacing of the first lens surface. The propagation to the second layer network consists of the curvature, refractive index, and physical spacing of the second lens surface. Finally, the propagation to the Nth layer network consists of the curvature, refractive index, and physical spacing of the Nth lens surface.
[0013] Step 4: Construct the discriminator network model. The image-side image output by the complex function generator network model is input into the discriminator network model, which judges the similarity between the image-side image and the image-side image of the ideal optical system. The judgment threshold of the discriminator network is determined by the design parameters. When the discriminator network model judges that the similarity between the image-side image and the image-side image of the ideal optical system reaches the threshold, it outputs "true", stops feeding back the recovery function generator network model, and ends the iteration. When the discriminator network model judges that the similarity between the image-side image and the image-side image of the ideal optical system does not reach the threshold, it outputs "false" and feeds this signal back to the complex function generator network model to continue iterative optimization of the complex function generator network parameters in Step 3. The object-side image of the ideal optical system is input into the discriminator network model, which judges whether further optimization calculation is needed, and finally outputs the specific values of the curvature, refractive index, and physical spacing of lens surfaces 1 to N.
[0014] Step 5: After establishing and training the deep learning model of the complex function neural network, the first-order parameters object distance, system focal length, and F-number are discretized and sampled. The discretized object distance, system focal length, and F-number are sequentially combined as a set of inputs. Steps 1 to 4 are repeated until all discretized object distances, system focal lengths, and F-numbers are combined. Specifically, the object distance is sampled at intervals of 0.1m to 1m, at intervals of 1m to 10m, at intervals of 10m to 100m, and at intervals of 10m to 100m. Sampling is performed at intervals of 100m for ~3000m, at intervals of 10mm for system focal length from 10mm to 50mm, at intervals of 50mm for system focal length from 50mm to 500mm, and at intervals of 0.5 for F-number from 1.5 to 10. Then, a series of discretized first-order parameters are input into a deep learning algorithm of a complex function neural network. The curvature, refractive index, and physical spacing of lens surfaces 1 to N are stored in a database as the initial structure of the optical imaging system in the usage stage.
[0015] Step Six, the usage phase: In the complex function neural network deep learning algorithm that has been trained and verified for accuracy, a set of optical imaging system design specifications and first-order parameters are input, including object distance, system focal length, and F-number. First, similar structures are searched in the database established in Step Five. That is, the structure with the smallest difference between the three values of object distance, system focal length, and F-number and the three values of the input first-order parameters is identified as a similar structure and used as the initial structure. After design and optimization by the complex function neural network deep learning algorithm, the specific values of the curvature of lens surfaces 1 to N, the refractive index of lens surfaces 1 to N, and the physical distance between lens surfaces 1 to N are output, thus completing the design of the optical imaging system.
[0016] While adopting the above technical solutions, the present invention may also adopt or combine the following technical solutions:

[0022] In the formula, A represents the amplitude of the light wave, and (x, y) represents the two-dimensional coordinates. It is a constant value, related to the physical distance D. It is phase.

It is the refractive index of the medium in front of the lens surface. It is the refractive index of the medium behind the lens. Represents wavelength, and The value is determined according to the lens surface shape formula.
[0028] Thus, the model of light wave propagating from lens surface n to lens surface n+1 is established. By passing this model sequentially, the entire complex function generator network model can be established.
[0029] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the complex function generator network model in step three is trained, optimized, and verified for accuracy. When training the complex function generator network model, 80% of the data in the neural network training dataset is used to replace the object-side image of the ideal optical system as the input of the complex function generator network model to train and optimize the complex function generator network model and the discriminator network model. When the training is completed, the remaining 20% of the neural network training dataset is used as verification data to verify the accuracy of the trained network and obtain effective model parameters for optical imaging system design optimization.
[0030] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: In step four, the discriminator network model includes an input layer, a network layer and an output layer, which are arranged in sequence. The network layer of the discriminator network model includes a convolutional layer, a compression layer, a nonlinear activation layer, a one-dimensional layer and a fully connected layer.
[0031] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: In step six, when a set of first-order parameters, including object distance, system focal length, and F-number, are input, a set of similar structures are taken from the database established in step five as the initial structure of the optical imaging system for optimization design. The similar structure refers to the initial structure corresponding to the set in step five where the first-order parameters object distance, system focal length, and F-number have been discretized and sampled. It is only necessary to find the set of three parameters that have the smallest difference with the three parameters that have been sampled.
[0032] Compared with existing technologies, the deep learning-based optical imaging system design method based on complex function neural networks provided by this invention utilizes deep learning neural network models with practical optical physics significance. Algorithmically, it does not rely on statistical calculation methods from computer science, greatly improving the matching degree between deep learning networks and practical engineering problems in optical imaging system design. It resolves the correlation between the quality of design results and the designer's experience, eliminating the need for the designer to provide initial structural parameters. In terms of hardware, it fully utilizes the computing hardware of graphics processing units (GPUs) or tensor processing units (TPUs), significantly improving computing power and optimization speed. This method greatly enhances the matching degree between deep learning networks and practical engineering problems in optical imaging system design, possessing advantages such as universality, convenience, and a more user-friendly experience. It significantly simplifies the design difficulty of optical imaging systems, making the design process faster, more convenient, and more user-friendly, thus having pioneering significance in the technological development of optical imaging system design.
