Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy radiometric measurement technology, and in particular to an interferogram distortion detection method and system. Background Technology

[0002] Fourier transform spectral radiometric measurement technology possesses advantages such as high spectral resolution, high optical flux, multi-channel operation, and wide spectral coverage, making it a crucial high-resolution spectral analysis technique. In particular, wide-band infrared spectral radiometric measurement is currently widely applied in various fields including space remote sensing, target characteristic research, atmospheric detection, material analysis, security and chemical defense, metrology, laboratories, environment, medicine, military analysis, and criminal investigation. With the rapid development of infrared stealth technology and hypersonic technology, there is an urgent need for highly sensitive, real-time infrared spectral radiometric parameter measurements of low-emissivity, fast-flying targets.

[0003] Unlike traditional infrared spectral radiometry systems based on prisms, gratings, or filters, Fourier transform spectral radiometry acquires the interferometric data of a target. Only after performing a series of data processing steps, such as Fourier transform, on this interferometric data can the target's infrared spectral data be obtained. Due to defects in the interferometer's optical system, electronic noise abnormalities, and jitter during mirror movement, the interferometric data acquired by Fourier transform spectral instruments may contain distorted interferograms. Subsequent processing, such as Fourier transform, on these distorted interferograms may yield incorrect target spectral information, leading to erroneous measurement results. Currently, manual screening is often used to address this issue, but this method is inefficient and inaccurate. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Embodiment one

[0042] In view of the low recognition efficiency and poor recognition accuracy of the artificial recognition of the distorted interference figure as pointed out in the background art, the present embodiment provides an interference figure distortion detection method, as shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0043] Step S1, obtaining a target interference figure, and performing interference figure main peak detection on the target interference figure;

[0044] Step S2, judging whether the interference figure is an effective interference figure containing effective target information based on the detected interference figure main peak;

[0045] Step S3: If the interferogram is a valid interferogram containing effective target information, the local maximum method is used to locate the main peak and all levels of secondary peaks in the interferogram;

[0046] Step S4: Based on the main peak and all levels of secondary peaks of the interferogram, identify and determine whether there is distortion in the target interferogram.

[0047] Existing Fourier transform radiometers, when measuring the spectral radiometry of a target, first acquire the target's interferometric data, then perform a Fourier transform on the interferometric data to obtain the target's infrared spectral data. In this process, due to defects in the interferometer and other optical systems, abnormal electronic noise, and jitter during mirror movement, the interferometric data acquired by the Fourier transform radiometer may contain distorted interferograms. If such distorted interferograms are subsequently processed through Fourier transforms or other methods, incorrect target spectral information may be obtained, leading to erroneous measurement results. Figure 2 As shown, the Fourier transform infrared spectroradiometer acquires an interferogram with distortion, but the infrared spectral data obtained through Fourier transform is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the spectral data measurement is incorrect. In existing technologies, distorted interferograms are typically identified using the aforementioned manual identification methods. However, in reality, distorted interferograms are not so obvious or easy to confirm. Therefore, existing manual identification methods cannot guarantee accuracy and are inefficient and time-consuming.

[0048] Therefore, this embodiment provides an interferogram distortion detection method. First, in step S1, a target interferogram is acquired using a Fourier transform spectroradiometer, and the main peak of the interferogram is detected. The main peak detection is divided into two steps. In the first step, the target interferogram is input into the hardware detection circuit of the Fourier transform spectroradiometer, and the hardware detection circuit outputs the approximate location of the zero optical path difference (NZPD) point. In the second step, with the approximate location as the center point, symmetrical points are taken to the left and right to obtain a data segment. The maximum value point is searched in the data segment and taken as the main peak of the interferogram.

[0049] After determining the dominant peak value of the target interferogram, step S2 is executed. Based on the detected dominant peak value, it is determined whether the interferogram is a valid interferogram containing effective target information. Specifically, the detected dominant peak value of the interferogram is compared with the noise limit of the Fourier transform radiometer. If the dominant peak value of the interferogram is less than the noise limit of the Fourier transform radiometer, the interferogram is determined to be an invalid interferogram that does not contain effective target information, i.e., it is noise data that does not contain effective target signals. In this case, no further detection is performed. Otherwise, the interferogram is determined to be a valid interferogram containing effective target information.

[0050] For long-wave interferograms with refrigerated MCT detectors, the noise limit is usually set to 200; for mid-wave interferograms with refrigerated InSb detectors, the noise limit is usually set to 300. Further, the parameters can be adjusted according to the electronics of the infrared spectral radiometer used.

[0051] In step S3, if the interferogram is an effective interferogram containing effective target information, the main peak and each order peak of the interferogram are located by using a local maximum method.

[0052] Specifically, the local maximum method is used for interferogram peak positioning, including: a sliding window is used to select a data segment of a set data length of the interferogram, the maximum point of the data segment is determined, and if the number of points to the left and right of the maximum point exceeds a set number, the maximum point is determined as a peak point of the interferogram. According to the characteristics of the interferogram, the length of the data segment selected by the sliding window is usually 200 points, and the set number of points to the left and right of the peak point is usually 40. Further, the data segment length and the set number can be adjusted according to the detection effect.

[0053] In step S4, based on the located main peak and each order peak of the interferogram, it is identified and determined whether the target interferogram has distortion. Specifically, according to the located main peak and each order peak of the interferogram, if each order peak is symmetrically distributed with the main peak and the peak value gradually decreases, it is determined that the target interferogram is a normal interferogram and does not have interferogram distortion; if each order peak is symmetrically distributed with the main peak but the peak value does not gradually decrease, the amplitude value difference of adjacent spectral peaks is calculated, and if the difference is greater than a threshold value, it is determined that the target interferogram has distortion; if the difference is less than the threshold value, it is determined that the target interferogram is an interferogram with noise interference. At this time, when the Fourier transform infrared spectral radiometer is applied to target precise composition and other precise quantitative analysis occasions, it is necessary to apply wavelet filtering, smoothing, multi-interferogram superposition, principal component analysis and other filtering algorithms to the interferogram with noise interference to improve the measurement accuracy; when it is applied to target identification and other qualitative analysis, it is not necessary to perform subsequent processing. That is, at this time, it is determined whether to perform subsequent processing according to the application occasion of the Fourier transform infrared spectral radiometer.

[0054] Further, according to the characteristics of the interferogram, the above-mentioned threshold value is usually selected as one-twentieth of the main peak value of the interferogram, and can also be adjusted according to the detection effect.

[0055] By using the above-mentioned interferogram distortion detection method of the embodiment, without updating the hardware, only by adding the interferogram distortion detection and identification process in the data processing link, automatic identification can be easily realized, that is, the identification and detection of the distorted interferogram of the Fourier transform infrared spectral radiometer can be realized, and the method has the characteristics of simplicity, efficiency and high precision.
