Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of infrared imaging technology, and in particular to a shutter-free non-uniform correction method and system. Background Art
[0002] Since there are different non-uniformities in the response characteristics of each detection unit of the uncooled infrared detector, this non-uniformity will reduce the imaging quality of the infrared imaging system. In this regard, the more common non-uniformity correction method is to install a built-in shutter in the system and perform occlusion correction regularly. However, the addition of the shutter will increase the complexity of the detector's mechanical structure, limit the miniaturization of the detector, and increase the cost. At the same time, the shutter correction process will interrupt the image input, affecting the system's external observation and real-time tracking of the target.
[0003] Therefore, shutterless infrared image non-uniformity correction methods have been developed in the prior art, including: 1. A calibration-based non-uniformity correction method, which establishes a relationship model between the working state and the response of the detector to obtain different offline background images, and then selects the background image matching the actual working state to perform non-uniform correction on the infrared image. However, in this technical solution, the relationship model is difficult to obtain, and over time, the response coefficient in the relationship model will produce a certain drift, resulting in poor correction effect; 2. A scene-based non-uniform correction method, which separates non-uniform noise and useful image information through statistical scene characteristics, obtains a real-time corrected background image through learning, and then performs non-uniform correction on the infrared image through the real-time corrected background image. This technical solution has a large amount of calculation and slow convergence speed when implemented, and there are many restrictions when used, such as the need to use hardware support such as gyroscopes or accelerometers, and relies on motion scenes, and has poor image correction effect in static scenes.

[0058] Specifically, step S1 includes the following steps:
[0059] At the same ambient temperature, the infrared image of the black body with the same temperature (such as black body t1, t2 and t3, etc.) is directly obtained through the infrared detector of the infrared imaging device, and the background image Base1 at the infrared detector end is determined according to the infrared image. i ;

The background image can be obtained by collecting a black body or a built-in reference uniform surface image after the infrared imaging device is turned on; X160 is the original infrared image data output by the infrared detector of the infrared imaging device before the two-point correction is performed.
[0098] In the non-uniformity correction method of this embodiment, the correction of the non-uniform background image acquired by the infrared detector is decomposed into obtaining three different bias parameters: a starting bias parameter, a gain bias parameter and a process bias parameter, so as to automatically calculate the ideal background image for non-uniformity correction in real time, and further realize the non-uniformity correction of the infrared image without shutter correction. It solves the problem of poor correction effect caused by drift of the response coefficient and excessive dependence on the scene and hardware in the scene-based non-uniformity correction method. The algorithm complexity of the whole process is low and the amount of calculation is small.
