Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of photon integrated interference imaging, and particularly relates to a method and device for optimizing baseline pairing of a photon integrated interference imaging system based on a genetic algorithm. Background Art

[0002] High-resolution imaging technology has an urgent need in many fields such as military reconnaissance, resource exploration, and environmental monitoring. According to the Rayleigh resolution criterion, (where is the angular resolution of the camera, is the incident wavelength, is the camera aperture), increasing the system aperture can effectively improve the resolution. However, limited by factors such as materials and processes, it is difficult to machine a single mirror with an ultra-large aperture, the support structure is complex, and the load volume and mass of a large-aperture system increase, which brings difficulties to the launch of a space-based optical system. To solve these problems, the prior art has proposed a new photon integrated interference imaging technology, which combines the synthetic aperture imaging technology and the photon integrated circuit technology. The target light information is collected through a large-scale microlens array, and phase adjustment, beam interference, signal detection, etc. are realized in the photon integrated circuit. By analyzing the amplitude and phase of the interference image and through image reconstruction, a high-resolution image can be obtained, which can greatly reduce the size, mass, power consumption (by 10 to 100 times) and development cycle of the optical system. The arrangement method and baseline pairing method of the microlens array at the front end of the system directly affect the UV spectrum coverage of the system, and thus affect the imaging quality.

Each interference arm is composed of 100 (this number is only an example, and other numbers can also be used) microlenses. The pairing mode of the interference baselines is the same. Therefore, only the pairing mode of the microlenses on a single interference arm needs to be optimized, and each lens can only be paired once. The first microlens on the interference arm must be paired with the last microlens to ensure that the longest baseline length is the same in different baseline pairing modes;

[0040] S22: Initialize the interference baseline pairing mode of the microlens array according to the above constraint conditions.

[0041] S3: Use the pairwise paired microlenses to perform spectral sampling on the target to obtain the mutual intensity spectrum of the target;

[0042] Step S3 specifically includes:

[0043] S31: The pairwise paired microlenses on the same interference arm determine the distribution of the system spatial frequency points , which is expressed as:

[0044] ;

[0045] Among them, , is the The interference baseline formed by the th microlens on one interference arm and the th microlens on the th interference arm, is the jth imaging wavelength of the system, is the detection distance, is the horizontal coordinate of the center of the mth microlens on the jth interference arm, is the horizontal coordinate of the center of the nth microlens on the jth interference arm, is the vertical coordinate of the center of the mth microlens on the jth interference arm, is the vertical coordinate of the center of the nth microlens on the jth interference arm.

[0046] S32: Use the system spatial frequency points obtained in the above step S31 as the ideal mutual intensity spectrum sample to obtain the actually detected mutual intensity spectrum. The mutual coherence intensity of the target is:

[0047] ;

[0048] where, is the mutual coherence intensity of the target, is the light intensity of the target.

[0053] S5: Calculate the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) value of the obtained spatial domain reconstructed image and construct the objective function of the photon integrated interference imaging system;

[0054] In step S5, the expression of the objective function is:

[0055] ;

[0056] where, is the peak signal-to-noise ratio, is the maximum pixel value of the reconstructed image, is an intermediate quantity, is the spatial domain reconstructed image, and For reconstructing the height and width of the image.

[0057] S6: Taking the objective function obtained in step S5 as the optimization index, optimize the pairing method of the micro-lens interference baselines by using the genetic algorithm;

After all the fitness functions are completed, calculate the probability of the fitness values of all individuals:

[0061] ; ( represents the i-th individual).

[0062] S63: Selection operation: According to the probabilities of the fitness values calculated in step S62, accumulate them into a probability table for constructing a "probability roulette wheel"; generate a random number for each parent position, and determine the selected individual according to the probability interval where the random number falls, and form the parent population with them.

[0063] S64: Crossover operation: Under the condition of satisfying the constraints of S21, determine whether to perform crossover on the parent individuals in the population with a certain crossover probability (the crossover probability can usually be selected between 0.8 and 0.99). If crossover is performed, randomly select a crossover point between the genes, and segmentally crossover the genes of the two parents , before and after the crossover point to generate two offspring , .

[0064] S65: Mutation operation: Calculate the fitness function of all new individuals, and combine all the newly generated individuals and the original population P(t) to form a new population , and select individuals with smaller fitness function values for mutation with a certain mutation probability (usually a probability less than 0.4) can be selected. In the present invention, the method of swap mutation is adopted, randomly select two gene positions, and then swap their gene values to obtain a new population , and calculate their fitness values.

[0065] S66: Select M larger individuals as the new population according to the fitness function values in and determine whether the genetic algebra is reached and output the optimal individual. If not, return to execute step S62 and subsequent steps.

[0066] The flowchart of the genetic algorithm is as shown in Figure 3 Using this algorithm, the baseline pairing method of the microlens array can be optimized, and then the UV spectrum sampling can be optimized. The UV spectrum sampling diagram obtained after optimization by the genetic algorithm is as shown in Figure 5

[0067] S7: Use the interference baseline pairing method corresponding to the maximum value of the objective function as the optimal baseline pairing method for the photon integrated interference imaging system.

[0068] Figure 2 shows the layout diagram of a given wavy microlens array. The wavy microlens array is composed of a total of 37 interference arms surrounding a center point, and 100 microlenses are arranged on each interference arm according to a certain rule.

By comparing the two figures, it can be clearly seen that after optimizing the baseline pairing method by the genetic algorithm, the imaging quality of the system has been greatly improved, which proves the feasibility of the method for optimizing the baseline pairing of the photon integrated interference imaging system based on the genetic algorithm of the present invention.
