Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a correction system and method, in particular to a correction system and method for a baffle of an infrared thermal imager with continuously variable temperature, belonging to the technical field of infrared thermal imaging. Background Art
[0002] Cooled infrared detectors are the core components of infrared thermal imagers and are widely used in military, high-end civilian products and other fields. Due to the differences in manufacturing processes and readout circuit channels, there is serious non-uniformity in the imaging of infrared thermal imagers. Therefore, non-uniformity correction is required before leaving the factory, during long-term storage, and after long-term startup to maintain the high-performance working state of the infrared thermal imager.
[0003] At present, in various infrared imaging applications, a calibration method combining two-point calibration and single-point calibration is usually used. Two-point calibration mainly uses two reference sources of different radiation intensities to make the linear gain change rate and bias of each pixel in the focal plane consistent for the same incident radiation intensity. Single-point calibration uses a uniform radiation background as a reference source to update the bias. Two-point calibration generally uses a black body for calibration, and the infrared thermal imager needs to be removed from the original equipment and the objective lens is placed close to the black body target for calibration. Single-point calibration generally uses an internal baffle as a reference source for calibration.
[0004] With the diversified development of infrared thermal imagers' application fields, traditional two-point correction and single-point correction methods are difficult to adapt to the non-uniform correction requirements of modern products with high efficiency, high feasibility and high reliability. For example: due to the mismatch between the longer storage time requirement of infrared thermal imagers and the manufacturing process of domestic infrared detectors, the photoelectric conversion performance of the detector chip deteriorates after long-term storage, and it is difficult to re-correct the non-uniformity of the equipment without opening the cover. With the increasing integration of optoelectronic systems, the maintenance cost of removing the infrared part separately or returning it to the factory for recalibration is high, and the feasibility is low. The operating temperature requirements of infrared thermal imagers have been increased. When the single-point correction baffle is inserted, if the temperature is higher or lower than the linear region of the two-point correction coefficient, it will seriously affect the single-point correction effect. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the problems of great difficulty in non-uniformity correction, high maintenance cost, low feasibility, etc. in the existing infrared thermal imager correction system and method, the present invention provides an infrared thermal imager baffle correction system and method with continuously variable temperature.

[0010] The temperature sensor is configured as a thermistor.
[0011] The heat dissipation component includes a cover plate arranged on the inner side of the rotating seat, a heat dissipation fan is arranged between the cover plate and the small end of the rotating seat, and heat dissipation fins are arranged at the position where the cover plate connects with the heat dissipation fan, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes are arranged at the position where the cover plate connects with the refrigeration component, so that the non-working surface of the refrigeration component on the rotating seat can be heat-dissipated by the heat dissipation component, thereby ensuring the temperature control accuracy of the refrigeration component.
[0012] The rotating mechanism comprises a DC motor and a motor seat connected to the DC motor. The DC motor main shaft passes through the motor seat and is connected to the rotating seat. The DC motor is electrically connected to a controller so that the rotating mechanism is controlled by the controller to drive the rotating seat to rotate.

[0015] (1) Setting the target temperature Td according to the single-point correction temperature Ts, the two-point correction low temperature TL or the two-point correction high temperature TH;
[0016] (2) Set the sampling frequency Fs, and calculate the time interval Sr between two adjacent sampling moments k and k-1 as follows:
[0017]
[0018] (3) According to the current thermistor resistance R0(k), calculate the current temperature of the temperature baffle T as follows: n (k) is:
[0019]
[0020] Where, T0 and R0 are the thermistor reference temperature and the resistance value corresponding to the reference temperature, respectively, which are usually obtained by testing at 25°C; β is the thermistor index variation coefficient, which is determined by the thermistor selection;
[0021] (4) The discrete PID temperature control quantity Y(k) is calculated as follows:

For the three coefficients of semiconductor refrigeration plate, the empirical coefficients obtained after multiple tests are: 1, 4, 8; e(k) is the difference between the temperature of the temperature baffle Tn(k) at the current moment and the expected temperature Td;
[0024] (5) Calculate the semiconductor cooling plate driving voltage U as follows: T (k):

[0031] (1-11) Synchronously control the infrared thermal imager to determine whether the single-point calibration result is valid. When the infrared thermal imager returns a single-point calibration completion instruction, drive the DC motor to drive the rotating seat to rotate and leave the infrared thermal imager optical path, complete the baffle cutting, and stop the semiconductor refrigeration film from working; when the infrared thermal imager returns a single-point calibration invalid instruction, re-perform the single-point calibration; when the single-point calibration is performed three times and the result is still judged to be invalid, report the system to issue a fault instruction;
[0032] (1-2) When the two-point calibration mode is selected, the low-temperature calibration is completed first. The controller drives the DC motor to drive the rotating seat to rotate and insert it into the infrared thermal imager optical path to complete the baffle cutting. The controller controls the semiconductor refrigeration plate to cool or heat through the temperature information fed back by the temperature sensor to heat or cool the temperature-averaging baffle to reach the two-point calibration low-temperature temperature TL, and then synchronously controls the infrared thermal imager to perform the two-point calibration low-temperature calibration. After obtaining the low-temperature acquisition completion instruction returned by the infrared thermal imager, the two-point calibration low-temperature calibration is continued.
[0033] (1-3) After the two-point calibration is completed at low temperature, high temperature calibration is performed; the controller controls the semiconductor refrigeration plate to cool or heat through the temperature information fed back by the temperature sensor, so as to heat or cool the temperature-averaging baffle to reach the two-point calibration high temperature TH; after reaching the temperature, the infrared thermal imager is synchronously controlled to perform the two-point calibration at high temperature;
[0034] (1-4) Synchronously control the infrared thermal imager to determine whether the two-point calibration result is valid. When the infrared thermal imager returns a two-point calibration completion instruction, the DC motor is driven to drive the rotating seat to rotate and leave the infrared thermal imager optical path, complete the baffle cutting, and stop the semiconductor refrigeration film from working; when the infrared thermal imager returns a two-point calibration invalid instruction, the two-point calibration operation is performed again; when the single-point calibration is performed three times and the result is still judged to be invalid, the reporting system sends a fault instruction.
