BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Figure 1 A flow chart of a satellite-ground integrated imaging parameter tuning method based on target imaging performance simulation provided by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, for the imaging task of a satellite using an infrared multi-spectral camera to observe a terrestrial target at normal temperature, a satellite-ground integrated imaging parameter tuning method based on target imaging performance simulation proposed in the present invention is used to perform the process of optimizing the on-orbit imaging exposure time, gain and imaging spectrum as follows.

[0036] 1. Before the satellite is launched and in the initial stage of orbit entry, the integral time lookup table that meets the imaging performance indicators under the nominal surface reflectivity and nominal surface temperature is determined as follows. In addition, the camera gain can be freely combined with the above exposure time, and the gain can be set to 1 times, 1.1 times, and 1.4 times.

[0037]

[0038] 2. The user defines the latitude and longitude of the ground target point of the imaging mission as (40°N, 110°E), and the imaging time is 11:00 am Beijing time on January 12, 2024. The imaging mission requires imaging one of the five infrared spectral bands with the best imaging performance, and through mission planning, determine the imaging observation attitude and orbit positioning parameter sequence. It can be determined that the imaging time is daytime, so the parameters are optimized from the daytime spectral band and exposure time combination in the table in the previous step, as well as different gains.

[0039] 3. Determine the target radiation characteristic parameters of the imaging area according to the longitude and latitude of the imaging area and the imaging time defined by the user. The target radiation characteristic parameters include target reflectivity and target temperature attributes. The acquisition method is to interpolate the surface reflectivity and temperature time series data of the satellite imaging area according to the set longitude and latitude of the imaging area and the imaging time, and use the surface reflectivity and temperature closest to the longitude and latitude of the imaging area and the imaging time as the target radiation characteristic parameters of the imaging area. In this specific embodiment, the long-wave infrared reflectivity of the corresponding target is 0.11 and the surface temperature is 296K.

[0040] After determining the target optical characteristic parameters, the atmospheric mode and aerosol mode are selected according to the latitude and longitude and imaging time given by the imaging task. The satellite attitude and orbital position parameter sequence obtained during satellite imaging observation are used to calculate the satellite observation angle and solar illumination angle. The above parameters are input into the atmospheric radiation transfer model, such as MODTRAN, to simulate the satellite optical camera observing the target radiance signal.

[0041] 4. Determine the camera frame rate determined by the satellite imaging mission, as well as the maximum and minimum values ​​that can be set for imaging parameter combinations such as integration time and gain parameters in the optical camera imaging parameter lookup table, as the boundaries of the optional imaging parameter combinations for each spectral band of the satellite optical camera.

[0042] 5. According to the satellite attitude and orbital position parameter sequence, target radiation characteristic parameters and target radiance signal during satellite imaging observation, estimate the satellite optical camera imaging performance parameters under various imaging parameter combination conditions. The specific steps are as follows: traverse the optional parameters within the range of each camera spectrum, optional integration time and gain boundary conditions, construct a parameter combination {spectral band, integration time, gain}, and estimate the on-orbit imaging performance parameter vector X for each imaging parameter combination i. i ,

[0043] X i =[a1 a2 ... a6]

[0044] Among them, X i represents the on-orbit imaging performance parameter corresponding to the i-th group of parameter combinations, a1, a2…a6 represent the ground spatial resolution, imaging area width, modulation transfer function, on-orbit imaging dynamic range, on-orbit imaging signal-to-noise ratio, and imaging positioning accuracy, respectively. For the thermal infrared camera imaging task of this specific embodiment, the on-orbit temperature resolution is used instead of the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0045] The following estimates the on-orbit imaging parameters for different camera parameter combinations of {spectral band, integration time, gain}.

[0046] Estimate ground spatial resolution: Calculate the ground spatial resolution of the central target pixel of the imaging mission scene based on the Earth geometry model, the focal length of the satellite-mounted camera, the satellite pitch angle, the satellite sway angle, the camera's field of view, the detector pixel size, the observation angle and other parameters;

[0047] Estimate the width of the imaging area: Based on the geometric model of satellite earth observation and the camera on board the satellite, calculate the width of the imaging area of ​​the satellite-mounted camera corresponding to the ground;

[0048] Estimated imaging positioning accuracy: Calculate the satellite's imaging positioning accuracy for a target at a specified ground location based on the satellite's onboard camera instrument installation error, satellite attitude determination error, satellite position determination error, satellite clock time error, etc.

[0049] Estimate the on-orbit modulation transfer function: Under the given spectral band, target and background parameters, atmospheric and aerosol patterns, observation angles and solar angles, the atmospheric radiation transfer equation is used to calculate the radiance of the top of the atmosphere background and the target, and then the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the mission scene is calculated. in , perform Fourier transform on the simulated scene image, multiply it with the atmospheric turbulence degradation function and the linear motion degradation function between the satellite and the ground in the frequency domain, and then perform inverse Fourier transform to restore it to the spatial dimension image, and calculate the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the restored spatial dimension image out , thus obtaining the estimated on-orbit modulation transfer function MTF = MTF0 × MTF out / MTF in , where MTF0 is the static modulation transfer function of the camera.

[0050] Estimation of the dynamic range of on-orbit imaging: The atmospheric mode and aerosol mode, spectrum, observation angle and sun angle, maximum reflectivity and minimum reflectivity of the objects in the imaging area and other parameters given by the imaging task are input into the MODTRAN atmospheric radiation transfer model and the radiation response coefficient obtained by the camera radiation calibration test, and the maximum DN value and minimum DN value of the camera imaging are estimated. The maximum DN value and the minimum DN value are used as the dynamic range of on-orbit imaging.

[0051] Estimate the on-orbit temperature resolution: Use the camera infrared spectrum radiation calibration test data to calculate the noise equivalent temperature difference NETD that is closest to the target temperature specified by the imaging task. Use the atmospheric mode and aerosol mode, spectrum, and observation angle given by the imaging task to input the atmospheric radiation transmission model to calculate the atmospheric transmittance τ, and then estimate the on-orbit temperature resolution ΔT = NETD × ωτ. In this specific embodiment, the image motion caused by platform jitter is 0.05 pixels, and the design value of the influence factor of radiation concentration caused by satellite platform jitter is ω = 1 / (1-0.05 2 )=1.0025.

[0052] 6. Calculate the Mahalanobis distance using the camera imaging performance parameters under each parameter combination and the task indicators required by the imaging task, and optimize the imaging parameter combination.

[0053] First, calculate the mathematical expectation V of the covariance matrix of the X vector set, that is,

[0054]

[0055] Where n represents the total number of satellite optical camera imaging spectrum segments required for the imaging mission, and X is the mathematical expectation of X;

[0056] Then, calculate the vector X i The Mahalanobis distance from the mission indicator vector X0 required by the satellite imaging mission,

[0057]

[0058] Among them, X0 represents the vector composed of the ground spatial resolution, imaging area width, modulation transfer function, on-orbit imaging dynamic range, on-orbit imaging signal-to-noise ratio, and imaging positioning accuracy parameter indicators required by the user's technical requirements.

[0059] Finally, D(X i ,X0) are sorted, and the imaging parameter combination with the smallest Mahalanobis distance is the optimal imaging parameter. In this specific embodiment, the Mahalanobis distance sequence under different imaging parameter combinations is sorted from small to large as shown in the following table, and the final imaging parameter tuning result recommends that the imaging parameters be set to {spectral band, exposure time, gain} = {spectral band 2, 35.6ms, 1.4}.
