Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical metrology and measurement technology, and in particular to an axial consistency calibration system and method for a multi-optical axis window device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment mainly includes visible light equipment, infrared light equipment and low-light-level night vision equipment, etc. Among them, infrared light equipment will be completely ineffective because infrared light cannot pass through glass; visible light equipment and low-light-level night vision equipment will produce strong reflection when the external ambient light hits the window surface due to the reflection effect of the glass surface or strong reflective medium, which seriously affects the detection efficiency of visible light equipment and low-light-level night vision equipment, causing the observer or image acquisition equipment to be unable to clearly collect the image information of people and objects in the window, and therefore, it is impossible to conduct effective through-window detection.

[0003] The multi-axis window-through device is a new type of photoelectric detection device. Its main application scenario is to detect and identify targets and environmental information such as those inside houses and cars through window media such as glass or coated glass. At present, in the application of multi-axis window-through devices, the most widely used method is active window-through imaging technology. Its principle is to use a laser to emit a laser to illuminate the target in the window. Since the emitted laser has the characteristics of strong directionality and concentrated energy, it can enhance the laser signal reflected back by the target in the window. Then, the reflected laser signal is imaged and processed, thereby achieving the purpose of window-through detection. Therefore, in the multi-axis window-through device, the axial consistency of the transmitting component, the axial consistency of the receiving component, and the common axial consistency of the transmitting component and the receiving component become key parameters for evaluating the detection capability of the multi-axis window-through device. However, the existing axial consistency calibration device of the multi-axis window-through device has the following problems:

[0004] First, most of the existing multi-axis window devices use the laser axis or the laser emission axis of the device to be measured as the reference axis to measure other axes. This makes it impossible to analyze the emission axis of the multi-axis window device and is not suitable for measuring the axial consistency of the emission component of the multi-axis window device, as well as the common axial consistency of the emission component and the receiving component.

[0005] Secondly, many of the existing multi-axis window devices are used to measure the axial consistency of the optical axis of the optoelectronic system of the multi-spectral sensor, while the existing axial consistency calibration or detection systems cannot meet the evaluation and calibration of the axial consistency of the transmitting component, the axial consistency of the receiving component, and the common axial consistency of the transmitting component and the receiving component in the multi-axis window device.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a solution to improve one or more problems existing in the above-mentioned related technical solutions.

[0007] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0111] Then, the illumination emitting element of the calibrated multi-optical axis window device is operated to simulate a certain window distance value, and switched to a small beam divergence angle;

[0112] Next, the laser light source of the illumination transmitter in the calibrated multi-axis window device is turned on, and the generated laser passes through the parabolic reflector, the secondary reflector and the beam splitter in sequence, and finally forms a light spot at the focal plane position of the long focal length collimation component;

[0113] Finally, the target surface scanning piece is moved to make the light spot coincide with the circular ring alignment baseline of the circular cross target, and the common axial consistency calibration result of the illumination transmitter and the illumination receiver corresponding to the current window distance value is obtained by calculating the movement amount on the target surface scanning piece.

[0114] The axial consistency calibration of the distance measuring component of the calibrated multi-axis window device includes the common axial consistency calibration of the distance measuring transmitting component and the distance measuring receiving component.

[0115] Furthermore, the specific process of calibrating the common axial consistency of the ranging transmitter and the ranging receiver is as follows:

[0116] First, adjust the test bench so that the distance measurement receiving component is aligned with the long focal length collimation component, and the target generating component generates a cross to align with the baseline;

[0117] Next, the laser light source is turned on, and the ranging transmitter emits laser light, which is then projected onto the star point target through the neutral attenuation plate group and the fiber coupling mirror in turn;

[0118] Finally, operate the calibrated multi-axis window device to measure distance, and control the coupling scanning component of the fiber coupling assembly to move to the two edge critical points of the receiving field of view. At this time, the zero position of the fiber coupling assembly is the calibration result of the common axial consistency of the ranging transmitter and the ranging receiver.

[0119] Furthermore, the expression for calibrating the common axial consistency of the ranging transmitter and the ranging receiver is:

[0120]

[0121] Among them, θ 3 The calibration result of the common axial consistency of the ranging transmitter and the ranging receiver, d 2 Indicates the movement of the laser center position of the distance measuring component from the zero position. x i It represents a critical edge point of the receiving field of view when the coupled scanning piece moves in the x-axis direction. j Indicates another edge critical point of the receiving field of view when the coupled scanning piece moves in the x-axis direction, y i It indicates an edge critical point of the receiving field of view when the coupled scanning piece moves in the y-axis direction. j It indicates another edge critical point of the receiving field of view when the coupled scanning piece moves in the y-axis direction.

[0122] It should be noted that the axial consistency calibration system of the multi-axis window device can also perform common axial consistency calibration between the lighting component and the ranging component of the multi-axis window device, and corresponding methods can also be used to perform calibration calculations between its various transmitting components and between its various receiving components.

[0123] It should be noted that the axial consistency calibration system of the multi-axis window device covers visible light, near-infrared light, mid-band infrared light and long-wave infrared light. For multi-axis window devices equipped with other band sensors (such as infrared thermal imagers), corresponding axial consistency calibration can also be performed; in conjunction with the neutral attenuation plate set and illuminance meter, corresponding axial consistency calibration can also be performed for multi-axis window devices equipped with low-light night vision sensors.
