Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of spectral polarization detection technology, and in particular, it is a method for evaluating target damage effects based on hyperspectral polarization imaging. Background Technology

[0002] Target damage effect assessment is an important basis for the development of modern weapon systems. Accurate target damage effect assessment is an essential part of formulating response plans and configuring attack weapons in on-site operations, and it is also an important basis for upgrading and optimizing weapon technology.

[0003] Methods for assessing target damage effects can be broadly categorized into three types: manual interpretation methods, which are simple and reliable but require human intervention and are time-consuming; damage assessment methods based on Bayesian theory, which can fully utilize various types of information but rarely rely on human interpretation knowledge and experience; and damage assessment methods based on image analysis, which fully utilize human experience as prior knowledge and have fast image processing algorithms, but due to the complex and ever-changing battlefield environment, traditional detection techniques based on target light intensity information are difficult to meet the requirements, leading to unstable assessment results. Hyperspectral polarization imaging technology, as an advanced optical measurement method, integrates the detection techniques of spectral information, polarization information, and two-dimensional image information of the target medium, providing a richer information source for target identification and analysis, and thus improving the ability to assess target damage effects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that traditional detection techniques based on target light intensity information carry limited information by providing a hyperspectral polarization imaging detection method for evaluating the damage effect on a target.

[0005] The technical solution to achieve the objective of this invention is as follows: On the one hand, a method for evaluating target damage effect based on hyperspectral polarization imaging is provided, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Acquire hyperspectral polarization images of the target before and after damage;

[0007] Step 2: Preprocess the hyperspectral polarization images of the target before and after damage;

[0008] Step 3: Extract the texture features of the preprocessed image using the gray-level co-occurrence matrix method, and calculate the changes in texture features before and after the target damage;

[0009] Step 4: Evaluate the damage effect on the target by comprehensively considering the changes in texture features before and after the target is damaged.

[0010] Furthermore, the acquisition of hyperspectral polarization images of the target before and after damage in step 1 is specifically achieved using a hyperspectral polarization imaging system based on liquid crystal modulation.

[0011] Furthermore, the preprocessing of the hyperspectral polarization images before and after target damage described in step 2 includes the following specific steps:

[0012] Step 2-1: Use the local upsampling phase correlation method to perform image registration on the hyperspectral polarization images of the target before and after damage;

[0013] Step 2-2: For the registered hyperspectral polarization image, use the full polarization restoration algorithm to restore the Stokes vector images S0, S1, S2, and S3 for each band, and then calculate the DOP image of the target.

[0014]

[0015] Steps 2-3: Fuse the DOP images of the target before and after damage across all bands:

[0016]

[0017] In the formula, M and N represent the width and height of the image, respectively, n represents the number of selected spectral channels, and DOP... k (i,j) represents the value of (i,j) of each pixel in the DOP image under the k-th spectral channel.

[0018] Furthermore, step 3 involves extracting the texture features of the preprocessed image using the gray-level co-occurrence matrix method and calculating the texture changes before and after target damage. The specific process includes:

[0019] Step 3-1: Compress the grayscale level of the DOP image to 32;

[0020] Step 3-2: Determine the size and step size of the sliding window. The sliding window traverses the DOP image in four directions: 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°, and calculates the gray-level co-occurrence matrix in the four directions.

[0021] Step 3-3: Calculate the gray-level co-occurrence matrix texture features, including contrast, correlation, energy, and inverse difference. Take the average of the texture features calculated in the four directions of 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135° as the final texture features.

[0022] Steps 3-4: Calculate the weight of each texture feature using the following formula:

[0023]

[0024] In the formula, V a W represents the coefficient of variation of the a-th texture feature.a This represents the weight of the a-th texture feature;

[0025]

[0026] In the formula, σ a ,u a Let represent the standard deviation and mean of the a-th texture feature, respectively;

[0027] Steps 3-5: Calculate the Euclidean distance of each pixel of each texture feature before and after the target is damaged. The specific formula is as follows:

[0028]

[0029] In the formula, d a (i,j) represents the Euclidean distance of each pixel (i,j) of the a-th texture feature, T 1a (i,j) and T 2a (i,j) represent the values ​​of each pixel (i,j) of the a-th texture feature before and after the target is damaged;

[0030] Steps 3-6: Calculate the total texture feature change, using the following formula:

[0031]

[0032] In the formula, m and n represent the width and height of the DOP image.

[0033] Furthermore, step 4, which involves evaluating the damage effect on the target by considering the changes in texture features before and after the target is damaged, specifically includes:

[0034] The degree of damage to the target is defined into five levels, as shown below:

[0035] Undamaged, D∈[0,0.05];

[0036] Minor damage, D∈[0.05,0.15];

[0037] Moderate damage, D∈[0.15,0.25];

[0038] Severe damage, D∈[0.25,0.4];

[0039] Scrapped, D≥0.4.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of this invention are:

[0041] 1) Hyperspectral polarization images are multidimensional information bodies that integrate the spectral information, polarization information, and image information of the target medium, which is beneficial to improving the assessment capability of target damage effects.

[0042] 2) The overall solution can avoid interference from camouflaged targets, making target detection and identification more effective.
