Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of large-aperture static interferometric spectral imaging technology, interferometric imaging plays an increasingly important role in scientific research and industrial applications. However, due to factors such as environmental noise and optical system errors, contaminants may appear in some areas of the interferometric image, and the contaminant characterization may be unclear. This phenomenon often leads to a significant decrease in image quality, especially in high-spectral-resolution applications. Furthermore, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, parasitic images in interference images manifest as unnecessary artifacts or noise in the image, which can be easily confused with the characteristics of contaminants, reducing the accuracy of identification.

[0003] Therefore, eliminating interference caused by parasitic images and thus quickly and accurately identifying contaminants not only helps improve the quality assessment of interferometric images but also provides a reliable basis for subsequent data analysis and decision-making. However, existing contaminant identification methods are unable to accurately identify them, hindering the assessment of interferometric image quality. Summary of the Invention
