[0002] The transmission characteristics of polarized light are affected by suspended particles, aerosols, and atmospheric molecules in the atmosphere. Visibility is a key indicator of the concentration of suspended particles in the atmosphere. In environments with low visibility, such as haze or high humidity, particulate matter such as water droplets, aerosols, and dust in the air can increase the scattering and absorption of light, thereby changing the polarization state of light.

[0003] Currently, research on the transmission characteristics of polarized light primarily focuses on its propagation behavior under various atmospheric conditions, particularly in low-visibility environments such as haze. While some progress has been made in fields such as active polarization transmission, remote sensing, and aerospace, many uncertainties remain regarding the transmission characteristics of polarized light under complex meteorological conditions, particularly in marine and urban environments.

[0004] These changes affect the performance of polarization detection systems, especially in low-visibility conditions, where the light propagation path is significantly affected, resulting in a decrease in the detection range and accuracy of the detection system.

[0108] The data analysis unit 9 processes the polarization image acquired by the full-band polarization camera 501 and compares and calculates the polarization image with the polarization data acquired by the polarization state measuring instrument 401.

This not only accurately assesses the effects of scattering from particles like smoke and sea fog on polarization and light intensity, but also compares and analyzes the detection performance and signal attenuation patterns of the two polarized light types. Experimental data integration and summary provide a theoretical foundation and time-saving approach for outdoor experiments. This approach also provides a basis and technical support for applications in military reconnaissance, maritime navigation, environmental monitoring, and remote sensing.

[0113] In an exemplary embodiment, a method for testing active and passive polarization transmission characteristics in simulated multi-visibility is provided. The method is implemented using an active and passive polarization transmission characteristics testing device in simulated multi-visibility.

[0114] like Figure 3 As shown, the active and passive polarization transmission characteristic test method simulating multiple visibility includes:

[0115] Step 100: Obtain polarization data and a polarization image. Polarization data is obtained by detecting polarized light emitted by an active polarization light emitting unit using an active polarization light receiving unit under a set simulated environment and visibility. Polarization images are obtained by detecting polarization characteristics of reflected and scattered light emitted by a passive polarization light emitting unit using a passive polarization light receiving unit under a set simulated environment and visibility.

[0116] Step 200: performing calculation processing on the polarization image to obtain the degree of polarization.

[0117] Step 300: Compare and analyze the polarization data and the degree of polarization to obtain an analysis result. The analysis result is used to characterize the consistency of active and passive polarization transmission.

[0118] The polarization image is processed to obtain the degree of polarization, which includes:

[0119] Convert the polarization image to a grayscale image.

[0120] The polarization intensity and total light intensity are calculated based on the grayscale image; the calculation formula for the polarization intensity is:

[0121] .

[0122] The calculation formula for total light intensity is:

[0123] .

[0124] The degree of polarization is calculated based on the polarization intensity and the total light intensity. The calculation formula for the degree of polarization is:

[0125] .

[0126] in, is the polarization intensity; is the total light intensity; It is the gray value image of the polarization component in the 0° direction; It is the gray value image of the polarization component in the 45° direction; It is the gray value image of the polarization component in the 90° direction; It is the gray value image of the polarization component in the 135° direction; is the degree of polarization; is the pixel coordinate in the grayscale image.

[0127] like Figure 4 The specific steps are as follows:

[0128] Step 1: First, turn on the system's overall control center and send electrical signals to the active polarized light emitting unit and the passive polarized light emitting unit respectively; the active polarized light emitting unit turns on the multi-wavelength laser to emit laser, and the passive polarized light emitting unit turns on the full-band halogen lamp to emit light.

[0129] Step 2: The laser beam emitted by the multi-wavelength laser in the active polarized light emitting unit is modulated into the required linearly polarized light through the first ultra-wideband visible / near-infrared polarizer; the scale of the first ultra-wideband visible / near-infrared polarizer is first calibrated to ensure precise control of the subsequent polarization state; the first ultra-wideband visible / near-infrared polarizer is rotated to modulate polarized light into polarized light of different polarization states; it is then modulated into circularly polarized light through the first quarter-wave plate, and the first quarter-wave plate is rotated to modulate polarized light of left-handed or right-handed polarization state; the first quarter-wave plate is removed when linearly polarized light is required; the laser beam passes through the first beam reducer and is beam-contracted by rotating and modulating the first beam reducer until it reaches the required beam diameter, while ensuring that the optical axis of the first beam reducer is consistent with the laser beam to reduce spot distortion and energy loss, and then enters the first part of the environmental simulation unit through the first optical window at the bottom of the first part of the environmental simulation unit.

[0130] Step 3. Turn on the full-band halogen lamp to simulate the light source of the natural light band. The unpolarized light is converted into polarized light after passing through the second ultra-wideband visible / near-infrared polarizer, and then it is adjusted to circularly polarized light after passing through the second quarter-wave plate. After passing through the third ultra-wideband visible / near-infrared polarizer, only polarized light parallel to its optical axis can pass through. The polarization state and phase of the light can be precisely controlled and modulated into linearly polarized light. The third ultra-wideband visible / near-infrared polarizer is rotated to modulate polarized light into polarized light of different polarization states, and then the scale of the third ultra-wideband visible / near-infrared polarizer is calibrated; it is then adjusted to circularly polarized light after passing through the third quarter-wave plate, and the third quarter-wave plate is rotated to modulate polarized light into left-handed or right-handed polarization state; the third quarter-wave plate is removed when linearly polarized light is needed; then it passes through the fourth optical window to enter the second part of the environmental simulation unit and finally reaches the target.

[0131] Step 4: The polarized light emitted by the active polarized light emitting unit reaches the active polarized light receiving unit, and then the second beam reducer reduces the beam diameter. The first liquid crystal tunable filter of the corresponding band removes the stray light, and the polarization-maintaining beam splitter splits the light into two. One beam goes to the polarization state measuring instrument to record the polarization state (0, 45, 90, 135, left-handed, right-handed) and polarization degree information of the laser at this time; the other beam goes to the light energy meter, which is also the laser energy meter, to record the initial energy of the light energy meter and observe and record the value changes of the light energy meter.

[0132] Step 5. Turn on the environmental particle generator (i.e., visibility simulation unit) to generate smoke / haze particles or sea fog particles. At the same time, turn on the gas circulation device (i.e., gas circulation unit) to fill the first part of the environmental simulation unit and the second part of the environmental simulation unit with uniform environmental particles to keep the visibility environment of the two consistent.

[0133] Step 6: The visibility simulation control unit calculates the required visibility based on the initial energy from the light energy meter (i.e., laser energy meter) and the final required energy value. It then activates the visibility detection unit to record the visibility value and transmits this data to the visibility simulation control unit. The calculated visibility is then compared with the visibility obtained by the visibility meter (visibility detection unit) to ensure the accuracy of the simulated visibility. Upon reaching the required simulated visibility, the visibility simulation control unit signals the visibility simulation unit to stop injecting particles into the environmental simulation unit. Furthermore, when transitioning from a low-visibility environment to a high-visibility environment, particles are removed from the environmental simulation unit to reduce particle concentration.

[0134] When calculating simulated visibility, the derivation process of the light energy meter change is as follows:

[0135] visibility V It refers to the propagation distance when the target contrast decays to the visual threshold of the human eye.

[0136] .

[0137] .

[0138] in: C is the contrast threshold, usually 0.02 or 0.05; C0 is the initial contrast; is the atmospheric extinction coefficient, in units of .

[0139] According to the definition of optical thickness, optical thickness and light transmittance Related:

[0140] .

[0141] in, ; is the optical thickness; L is the propagation distance; I is the incident light intensity, I 0 is the received light intensity.

[0142] .

[0143] You can Expressed as:

[0144] .

[0145] Substitute into the visibility formula , and eliminate ,have to:

[0146] .

[0147] Experimental propagation distance L =2m or L =2.5m (the height of the cabinet is generally 2m / 2.5m); initial contrast C 0 is usually set to 1, which means it is fully visible.

[0148] Specifically, calculate the atmospheric extinction coefficient: ; Calculate visibility: ; where C0=1, so it simplifies to: .

[0149] Step 7: After the full-band halogen lamp passes through the second environmental simulation unit, the reflected or scattered light from the target reaches the fourth quarter-wave plate. The fourth quarter-wave plate stabilizes the polarization state of the received polarized light. A second liquid crystal tunable filter corresponding to the corresponding wavelength is then selected to remove stray light. The full-band polarization camera then captures the target's polarization information at the four polarization components of 0, 45, 90, and 135, generating a polarization image. This polarization image is then passed to the data analysis unit for processing and calculation of the degree of polarization.

[0150] The calculation process of polarization degree is:

[0151] The acquired polarization image is converted into a grayscale image, wherein the polarization image includes: 、 、 、 , the value of each pixel represents the light intensity at that location.

[0152] : Gray value image of polarization component in 0° direction; : Gray value image of polarization component in 45° direction; : Gray value image of polarization component at 90° direction; : Gray value image of polarization component in 135° direction.

[0153] For the pixel coordinates in the grayscale image , calculate the polarization intensity respectively and total light intensity .

[0154] Polarization intensity : .

[0155] Total light intensity : .

[0156] Degree of polarization The value corresponding to each pixel: .

[0157] The value of the passive polarization transmission characteristic is thus calculated.

[0158] Step 8: The data analysis unit calculates the polarization degree of the polarization image obtained by the passive polarization imaging, that is, the full-band polarization camera, and then compares it with the polarization data measured by the active polarization transmission to analyze the differences in the active and passive polarization transmission characteristics.

[0159] Compare the consistency of the DOP trends between active and passive polarization at different polarization states (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, left-handed, and right-handed). Use the DOP data obtained for each of the six polarization states to construct a polarization state-DOP comparison table (each group contains six polarization states) and plot each graph (one for active polarization and one for passive polarization).

[0160] Compare whether the shapes of the two curves are similar, that is, whether they have the same change pattern (such as synchronous rise or fall, consistent peaks and valleys, etc.).

[0161] By calculating the deviation between active polarization and passive polarization, the recorded active polarization and passive polarization degree values ​​are first assigned polarization degrees.

[0162] Degree of polarization value of active polarization:

[0168] Analyzing the degree of polarization value of active polarization A Polarization degree value with passive polarization B Whether consistency is met is determined through the following three processes.

[0169] Process 1: Linear Correlation: Linear Relationship Fitting - Regression Model + Goodness of Fit .

[0170] .

[0171] in, is the regression slope, the ideal value is 1; is the intercept, the ideal value is 0; is the residual term, the smaller the better.

[0172] The expression for goodness of fit (coefficient of determination) is:

[0173] .

[0174] in, For the i The predicted value of the observation; is the average of the actual values ​​of all observations. n is the total number of samples.

[0175] like , indicating that the trends of the two sets of data are highly consistent.

[0176] Process 2: Error Size: Error Magnitude Analysis - RMSE measures the size of the error from the perspective of residual squares. It can be defined using fitting or direct difference:

[0177] Error term : .

[0178] but, .

[0179] RMSE Essentially, it is the root mean square of the squared loss function, which is used to quantify the average deviation between the two.

[0180] Process 3: Difference consistency distribution - Bland-Altman difference and mean analysis.

[0186] The consistency interval is .

[0187] If 95% If it falls within this range, there is no obvious systematic deviation between active polarization and passive polarization, and it is considered to be statistically consistent.

[0188] That is: from trend consistency → deviation intensity → systematic error, verify step by step whether the observation results of the two polarization systems under the same environment are consistent, to ensure that the conclusions are statistically reliable and explanatory.

[0193] The polarization state-polarization degree curve plotted from the data in Table 1 and Table 2 is as follows: Figure 5 The specific processing process is as follows:

[0194] According to the calculation formula in the above process one, the fitting function result can be calculated , indicating that the fitting error is very small.

[0195] According to the calculation process of the above process 2, the first item: , and so on, sum the square differences of the 6 polarization states, average them and take the square root, the result is: , indicating that each point deviates by 9 polarization units on average.

[0196] According to the calculation process of the above process three, the difference , {9.41,9.58,9.56,8.85,8.56,8.03}; mean ,{69.00,70.93,70.29,71.53,78.50,78.71};

[0198] Among them, the consistency interval is: Upper limit = ; Lower limit = .

[0199] All differences , which falls completely within the consistency interval, indicating that the error is stable and there is no deviation point.

[0200] Based on the comprehensive analysis of the active polarization and passive polarization data under six polarization states, the results show that there is a high degree of consistency between the two: the determination coefficient of the linear fit is The RMSE (root mean square error) reached a value close to 1, indicating that the two data sets are generally synchronized. The root mean square error (RMSE) was approximately 9, reflecting an average deviation of approximately 9 units between the two systems, though this level of error is within an acceptable range. Bland-Altman analysis showed that the difference between the two systems fell within the range of 7.77 to 10.23, indicating no significant systematic deviation. Overall, while the active system exhibited slightly higher polarization transmission characteristics than the passive system, their polarization transmission characteristics were consistent and reliable in practical applications.
