Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical systems, and in particular to a spectral polarization multi-mode composite imaging system and method. Background Art

[0002] Spectral imaging of a target can obtain two-dimensional spatial information and one-dimensional spectral information of the target, and polarization imaging of a target can obtain two-dimensional spatial information and multi-dimensional polarization information of the target. The spectral polarization imaging technology, which is a combination of spectral imaging and polarization imaging, can simultaneously obtain two-dimensional spatial information, one-dimensional spectral information and multi-dimensional polarization information of the target, thereby fully understanding the spectral characteristics of the target.

[0003] Prior art has disclosed a spectral polarization imaging technique that combines staring spectral imaging with time-sharing polarization imaging. This technique utilizes a combination of a liquid crystal tunable filter (LCTF) and a liquid crystal variable retarder (LCVR) to achieve spectral polarization imaging. Due to the inherent characteristics of staring spectral imaging, this technique can achieve high spatial resolution, but its spectral and temporal resolutions fall short of expectations.

[0004] At the same time, existing technologies also combine the coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging technology of digital micromirror devices (DMDs) with time-sharing polarization imaging technology to form coded aperture snapshot spectral polarization imaging technology. This technology uses a rotatable quarter-wave plate (QWP) and a rotatable polarizer as polarization modulation components to modulate the polarization information on the spectrum. A digital micromirror device is then used to achieve aperture coding. After modulation by a dispersion element, the resulting coded polarization-modulated spectral image is recorded by a camera. The polarization-modulated spectral image is estimated using a sparse constrained optimization method, and a demodulation algorithm is used to calculate a spectral polarization image with full-Stokes properties. This technology, thanks to the digital micromirror device, can achieve high temporal resolution, but the spectral and spatial resolutions fall short of expectations.

[0005] In addition, existing technology also discloses a compressed spatial-dimensional dual-coded hyperspectral polarization imaging system. This system combines coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging technology with split-focal plane polarization imaging technology. It uses a micropolarizer array (MPA) detector as a polarization modulation module, directly modulating polarization on the detector surface. It also uses a digital micromirror device for spatial encoding and a prism-grating-prism (PGP) to modulate spectral information. Finally, it acquires the target's spectral polarization information with a single exposure. This system, with the combination of the digital micromirror device and the PGP, can achieve high temporal resolution, but its spectral and spatial resolutions fall short of expectations.

[0006] Therefore, the spectral polarization imaging technologies listed above all have contradictions between temporal resolution, spatial resolution, and spectral resolution (hereinafter referred to as the three major resolutions). Specifically, the three major resolutions restrict each other, making it difficult to achieve the best at the same time. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to achieve three major resolutions and simultaneously achieve the best technical effect in spectral polarization imaging technology. In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a spectral polarization multi-mode composite imaging system and method, which specifically include a spectral polarization multi-mode composite imaging system, a spectral polarization multi-mode composite imaging method, a push-broom spectral imaging method, a staring spectral imaging method, a transformation spectral imaging method, a snapshot spectral imaging method, a push-broom spectral polarization imaging method, a transformation spectral polarization imaging method and a snapshot spectral polarization imaging method.

[0008] The present invention provides a spectral polarization multi-mode composite imaging system, which includes a control device and the following devices arranged in sequence along the propagation direction of signal light of a target imaging scene: A digital micromirror chip contains a micromirror matrix composed of multiple micromirrors, each of which has two states: light-transmitting and light-blocking. The state of each micromirror is individually controlled. dispersion element; A spectrum-polarization regulator is composed of a motor and a rotating disk disposed on the output shaft of the motor. A plurality of filter elements are arranged on the rotating disk in a surrounding manner. The plurality of filter elements are composed of a broadband filter element, a plurality of narrowband filter elements, and a plurality of linear polarization filter elements. The motor is used to drive the rotating disk to rotate so that one of the filter elements is located on the propagation path of the signal light. Photodetectors; The control device is electrically connected to the digital micromirror chip and the motor at the same time to respectively control the state of each micromirror and the rotation angle of the output shaft of the motor.

[0009] The spectral-polarization multi-mode composite imaging system disclosed in the present invention comprises a digital micromirror chip, a dispersive element, a spectral-polarization regulator, and a photodetector, arranged sequentially along the propagation direction of the signal light of the target imaging scene. The digital micromirror chip comprises a micromirror matrix composed of multiple micromirrors, each of which has two states: light-transmitting and light-blocking. Each state of the micromirror is individually controlled. Since the digital micromirror chip, the dispersive element, and the spectral-polarization regulator are arranged sequentially along the propagation direction of the signal light of the target imaging scene, when a micromirror in the micromirror matrix is in the light-transmitting state, the signal light received by this micromirror can be directed into the dispersive element; otherwise, it is not directed into the dispersive element. The signal light directed into the dispersive element is dispersed by the dispersive element to form dispersed light. Since a broadband filter element, several narrowband filters, and several linear polarization filters are arranged in a circular pattern on the rotating disk of the spectral-polarization regulator, the motor of the spectral-polarization regulator can position one of the filter elements in the propagation path of the signal light. Therefore, with the combination of digital micromirror chips, dispersion elements and spectral-polarization regulators, spectral polarization imaging of multiple channels can be achieved, and the imaging information can be received by photodetectors, ultimately achieving the acquisition of spectral and polarization information of the target.

[0010] At the same time, since the spectral polarization multi-mode composite imaging system disclosed in the present invention also includes a control device to respectively control the state of each micromirror and the rotation angle of the output shaft of the motor, it can further realize push-broom, staring, transformation, and snapshot spectral imaging on the basis of obtaining the spectral information and polarization information of the target. In addition, due to the setting of the linear polarization filter device, the push-broom, transformation, and snapshot spectral imaging can also be combined with polarization imaging to perform spectral polarization imaging, realizing a total of seven different imaging modes. In the context of this multi-mode spectral polarization imaging, different spectral polarization imaging modes can be selected for different target scenes to adjust the three major resolutions in a targeted manner, ultimately realizing highly flexible, multi-scene adaptive spectral polarization imaging, meeting the technical requirement of achieving the best three major resolutions simultaneously in spectral polarization imaging technology.

[0011] In one possible embodiment, the composite imaging system further includes an imaging lens, a collimating lens, and a converging lens. The imaging lens, the digital micromirror chip, the collimating lens, the dispersive element, the converging lens, the spectrum-polarization regulator, and the photodetector are sequentially arranged along the propagation direction of the signal light. The imaging lens forms a clear image of the target imaging scene on the surface of the digital micromirror chip, the collimating lens collimates the light reflected from the digital micromirror chip so that its main light is incident parallel to the surface of the dispersive element, and the converging lens converges the dispersed light beam to improve the efficiency of the photodetector in receiving imaging information.

[0092] The physical model and imaging method disclosed above demonstrate that the spectral-polarization multi-mode composite imaging system of this embodiment utilizes a digital micromirror chip 3, a dispersive element 5, and a spectral-polarization regulator 7, arranged sequentially along the propagation direction of the signal light of the target imaging scene. Therefore, when a micromirror in the micromirror matrix is in a light-transmitting state, the signal light received by this micromirror is directed into the dispersive element 5; otherwise, it is not directed into the dispersive element 5. The signal light directed into the dispersive element 5 is dispersed by the dispersive element 5 to form dispersed light. Since a broadband filter element, several narrowband filters, and several linear polarization filters are arranged in a circular pattern on the rotating disk 7-2 of the spectral-polarization regulator 7, the motor 7-1 of the spectral-polarization regulator 7 can position one of the filter elements in the propagation path of the signal light. Therefore, the combination of the digital micromirror chip 3, the dispersive element 5, and the spectral-polarization regulator 7 enables multi-channel spectral-polarization imaging. Imaging information is then received by the photodetector 8, ultimately enabling the acquisition of both spectral and polarization information of the target.

[0093] At the same time, because the composite imaging system also includes a control device 9 for separately controlling the state of each micromirror and the rotation angle of the output shaft of the motor 7-1, it can achieve push-broom, gaze, transformation, and snapshot spectral imaging based on the acquisition of the target's spectral and polarization information. In addition, due to the provision of the linear polarization filter device, push-broom, transformation, and snapshot spectral imaging can be combined with polarization imaging to perform spectral polarization imaging, achieving a total of seven different imaging modes. In the context of this multi-mode spectral polarization imaging, different spectral polarization imaging modes can be selected for different target scenes to specifically adjust the three major resolutions, ultimately achieving highly flexible, multi-scene adaptive spectral polarization imaging, meeting the technical requirement of achieving optimal simultaneous three major resolutions in spectral polarization imaging technology.
