[0002] All objects in nature, whether it is Arctic glaciers, flames, human bodies, or even the extremely cold deep space of the universe, will emit infrared radiation as long as their temperature is higher than absolute zero -273℃. This is the result of the thermal motion of molecules inside the object. Its radiation energy is proportional to the fourth power of its own temperature, and the wavelength of the radiation is inversely proportional to its temperature. Infrared imaging technology is based on the level of radiation energy detected by the object, which is converted into a thermal image of the target object through system processing and displayed in grayscale or pseudo-color, that is, the temperature distribution of the measured target is obtained to determine the state of the object.

[0013] A method for correcting non-uniformity of infrared images includes the following specific steps: S1, obtaining an original image output by an imaging device and processed in advance; S2, averaging the values of the pixels in each correction frame in the original image to obtain an average image; S3.

[0019] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the relevant invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0020] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0021] See also Figure 1-8 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions: Specifically, it refers to an infrared image non-uniformity correction device, including an infrared imaging shell 1, a base 2 is provided at the bottom of the infrared imaging shell 1, an n-type frame 3 is provided on the lower surface of the infrared imaging shell 1, and two vertical plates of the n-type frame 3 are respectively installed on the left and right side surfaces of the base 2.
[0022] An imaging device 4 is provided in the infrared imaging shell 1. The imaging device 4 is the disclosed technology in the existing patent: CN112763074B and will not be described in detail here. The lens part of the imaging device 4 extends out of the outside of the infrared imaging shell 1. A heat absorbing plate 5 is provided in the infrared imaging shell 1. All the electronic components of the imaging device 4 located in the infrared imaging shell 1 are integrated and mounted on the heat absorbing plate 5. A support 6 for fixing is provided between the lower surface of the heat absorbing plate 5 and the infrared imaging shell 1. The outer surface of the infrared imaging shell 1 is provided with heat insulation material, and the heat absorbing plate 5 is made of a material with high thermal conductivity (such as brass, graphene, etc.).
[0023] During use, the electronic components of the imaging device 4 are placed in a sealed space to isolate them from the influence of external temperature fluctuations. At the same time, all the electronic components are integrated and mounted on the heat absorbing plate 5. The heat absorbing plate 5 reduces the standard deviation of the surface temperature distribution of the electronic components through lateral heat diffusion, thereby avoiding thermal stress failure of the semiconductor devices and maintaining the temperature uniformity of the electronic components of the imaging device 4.
[0024] The bottom of the infrared imaging housing 1 is provided with a heat conducting component 9 for conducting the heat of the heat absorbing plate 5 to the outside. The heat conducting component 9 includes a heat conducting plate 91. The heat conducting plate 91 is also made of a material with high thermal conductivity. The heat conducting plate 91 is arranged between the heat absorbing plate 5 and the bottom wall of the infrared imaging housing 1. An electric push rod 92 is arranged on the bottom wall of the infrared imaging housing 1. A temperature sensor 7 for monitoring the temperature change of the imaging device 4 is installed inside the infrared imaging housing 1. A controller for controlling the electric push rod 92 is provided in the infrared imaging housing 1. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 7. One end of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 92 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 7. A rotating plate 93 is hinged between the lower surfaces of the heat conducting plate 91, and a plurality of first heat conducting columns 94 are provided on the lower surface of the heat conducting plate 91. The bottom wall of the infrared imaging housing 1 is provided with a plurality of heat conducting grooves 96 extending from its lower surface. The lower end of the first heat conducting column 94 extends into the heat conducting groove 96. A second heat conducting column 95 is provided on the lower surface of the first heat conducting column 94. The outer surface of the second heat conducting column 95 is in contact with the inner wall of the heat conducting groove 96. The first heat conducting column 94 and the second heat conducting column 95 are also made of a material with high thermal conductivity. A sealing component 10 is provided on the lower surface of the infrared imaging housing 1 to seal the heat conducting groove 96.
[0025] During use, when the temperature sensor 7 detects that the temperature of the electronic components of the imaging device 4 is greater than 50 degrees, the controller transmits a signal to the electric push rod 92, and the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 92 moves outward. At this time, the rotating plate 93 forms a thrust on the heat conducting plate 91, causing the heat conducting plate 91 to move upward and contact and squeeze the bottom of the heat absorbing plate 5. At the same time, the first heat conducting column 94 moves upward, and the second heat conducting column 95 moves downward. The sealing component 10 no longer seals the heat conducting groove 96, and the second heat conducting column 95 can move out of the lower side of the infrared imaging housing 1. Since the first heat conducting column 94 and the second heat conducting column 95 are also made of high conductivity The heat generated by the imaging device 4 during operation can be quickly conducted to the outside of the infrared imaging housing 1. The closed environment blocks the heat dissipation by air convection, forcing the heat to be concentratedly transferred to the outside of the infrared imaging housing 1 through a solid conduction path. Since the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the imaging device 4 is large when the temperature is abnormal, the heat flow driven by the high temperature difference can improve the heat dissipation efficiency by more than 30%, thereby avoiding the pixel response curve offset caused by temperature abnormality and the drift of non-uniformity over time, thereby ensuring the consistency of the response of different pixels in the infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) to the same radiation intensity.
[0026] A fixed plate 97 is provided in the heat-conducting groove 96, which is located between the first heat-conducting column 94 and the second heat-conducting column 95. The upper surface of the fixed plate 97 is rotatably connected to a rotating column 98. The lower surface of the first heat-conducting column 94 is provided with a rotating groove 99 that is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating column 98. The top wall of the rotating groove 99 is provided with a twisted rod 910. The upper surface of the rotating column 98 is provided with a twisted groove that is spirally sleeved on the outer surface of the twisted rod 910. The lower surface of the fixed plate 97 is rotatably connected to a screw rod 911. The upper end of the screw rod 911 rotates through the fixed plate 97 and is connected to the lower surface of the rotating column 98. The upper surface of the second heat-conducting column 95 is provided with a threaded groove that is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the screw rod 911. At the same time, the second heat-conducting column 95 slides in the heat-conducting groove 96. The rotating column 98, the twisted rod 910 and the screw 911 are also made of a material with high thermal conductivity.
[0027] During use, the first heat-conducting column 94 moves upward with the heat-conducting plate 91, and the twisted rod 910 moves upward synchronously with the first heat-conducting column 94. At this time, the rotating column 98 rotates under the drive of the twisted rod 910 spiral, and the screw 911 rotates synchronously with the rotating column 98. At this time, the second heat-conducting column 95 moves downward out of the heat-conducting groove 96 under the drive of the screw 911 thread teeth, so that the heat conducted to the first heat-conducting column 94 can be conducted to the screw 911 through the rotating column 98, and finally conducted to the second heat-conducting column 95, and finally dissipated by the second heat-conducting column 95.
[0028] An active cooling fan 8 is provided on the lower surface of the horizontal plate of the n-shaped frame 3. When the second heat-conducting column 95 extends out of the bottom of the infrared imaging housing 1, the active cooling fan 8 is started, so that convection is formed at the second heat-conducting column 95, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the infrared imaging equipment and minimizing the impact of heat changes on the non-uniformity of infrared imaging.
[0029] The upper surface of the second heat-conducting column 95 is provided with multiple auxiliary heat-conducting components, and the auxiliary heat-conducting components include an auxiliary heat-conducting plate 912. The auxiliary heat-conducting plate 912 is also made of a material with high thermal conductivity. The upper side of the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 912 slides through the upper surface of the fixed plate 97. The lower surface of the first heat-conducting column 94 is provided with multiple sliding grooves 913. The upper side of the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 912 extends into the sliding groove 913 and slides in the sliding groove 913. When the first heat-conducting column 94 and the second heat-conducting column 95 are displaced, the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 912 slides in the sliding groove 913. The setting of the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 912 increases the contact area between the first heat-conducting column 94 and the second heat-conducting column 95, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency between the first heat-conducting column 94 and the second heat-conducting column 95.
[0030] In addition, since the rotating column 98 rotates and slides in the rotating groove 99 and the auxiliary heat conducting plate 912 slides in the sliding groove 913, considering that the rotating column 98 directly contacts the inner wall of the rotating groove 99 and the auxiliary heat conducting plate 912 contacts the inner wall of the sliding groove 913, which will cause wear between the two, the contact area and heat conduction resistance between the first heat conducting column 94 are reduced, affecting the heat conduction efficiency between the first heat conducting column 94 and the second heat conducting column 95, the rotating column 98 does not contact the inner wall of the rotating groove 99, and the auxiliary heat conducting plate 912 does not contact the inner wall of the sliding groove 913.
[0031] In response to the above problem, a plurality of first contraction grooves 914 are provided on the outer surface of the auxiliary heat conducting plate 912, and a first contact plate 915 is slidably connected in the first contraction groove 914. The first contact plate 915 is also set to a high thermal conductivity material. An active cavity 916 is provided in the auxiliary heat conducting plate 912, and a first push rod 917 is provided on the surface of the first contact plate 915 close to the active cavity 916. The other end of the first push rod 917 slides through the active cavity 916, and a contact head 918 is provided at one end of the first push rod 917 located in the active cavity 916. A movable sleeve is provided between the contact head 918 and the inner wall of the active cavity 916. A spring 919 is provided on the outer surface of the first push rod 917. When the spring 919 is not squeezed, the spring 919 will form a thrust on the contact head 918, so that the contact head 918 is on the side away from the first contraction groove 914. At the same time, the first push rod 917 pulls the first contact plate 915 to shrink into the first contraction groove 914 and coincide with the first contraction groove 914. A pulling rod 920 is provided on the top wall of the sliding groove 913. The lower end of the pulling rod 920 slides into the active cavity 916. A truncated cone-shaped extrusion block 921 is provided at the lower end of the pulling rod 920. The outer surface of the extrusion block 921 contacts the contact head 918.
[0032] During use, the first heat-conducting column 94 moves upward, while the second heat-conducting column 95 moves downward, and the extrusion block 921 moves upward in the active cavity 916. When the heat-conducting plate 91 moves upward to contact the heat-absorbing plate 5, the lower end of the second heat-conducting column 95 moves out of the bottom of the infrared imaging housing 1, and the inclined surface of the extrusion block 921 contacts and squeezes the contact head 918, so that the first push rod 917 pushes the first contact plate 915 to move out of the first shrinkage groove 914 and contact the inner wall of the sliding groove 913. According to the above structure, after the heat-conducting plate 91 contacts the heat-absorbing plate 5, the first contact plate 915 can be automatically controlled to contact the inner wall of the first shrinkage groove 914, so that the heat of the first heat-conducting column 94 can be transferred to the second heat-conducting column 95 through the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 912.
[0033] A second contraction groove 923 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating groove 99 near the sliding groove 913, and a second contact plate 924 for heat conduction is slidably connected in the second contraction groove 923. The second contact plate 924 is made of the same material as the first contact plate 915. A second push rod 925 is provided on the surface of the second contact plate 924 facing the sliding groove 913. The other end of the second push rod 925 slides into the sliding groove 913 and can contact the first contact plate 915. A first tension spring 922 that is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the second push rod 925 is provided between the second contact plate 924 and the inner wall of the second contraction groove 923.
[0034] When in use, the first contact plate 915 moves out of the first shrinkage groove 914, and the first contact plate 915 contacts the second push rod 925. At this time, the second push rod 925 forms a thrust on the second contact plate 924, so that the second contact plate 924 moves out of the second shrinkage groove 923. At the same time, the first tension spring 922 is stretched until the second contact plate 924 contacts the outer surface of the rotating column 98. The above structure can ensure the heat conduction path between the first heat conducting column 94 and the second heat conducting column 95. At the same time, the extrusion contact method is adopted to increase the contact pressure between the two, thereby further improving the heat conduction efficiency between the first heat conducting column 94 and the second heat conducting column 95.
[0035] The sealing assembly 10 includes a rotating seat 101, which is arranged on a side of the lower surface of the infrared imaging housing 1 near the heat-conducting groove 96. A sealing plate 102 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 101. A rubber sealing block 103 is provided on the surface of the sealing plate 102 facing the heat-conducting groove 96 to seal the heat-conducting groove 96. The rubber sealing block 103 is made of a rubber material with a high thermal insulation rate (such as sponge rubber, etc.). When the sealing plate 102 rotates to the lower side of the heat-conducting groove 96, the rubber sealing block 103 extends into the heat-conducting groove 96 and seals the heat-conducting groove 96, thereby isolating external heat from entering the infrared imaging housing 1 through the heat-conducting groove 96.
[0036] The sealing plate 102 is provided with a connecting shaft 114 with one end rotating through the rotating seat 101. The end of the connecting shaft 114 outside the rotating seat 101 is sleeved with a worm gear 104. The outer side of the worm gear 104 is meshed with a worm 121. The upper end of the worm 121 is provided with a transmission rod 106. A transmission cavity 105 is opened inside the infrared imaging housing 1 on one side close to the heat conduction groove 96. The upper end of the transmission rod 106 rotates and penetrates into the transmission cavity 105. The upper end of the transmission rod 106 is provided with a bevel gear 107. The top inner wall of the transmission cavity 105 is rotatably connected with a rotating shaft 109. The rotating shaft The outer surface of 109 is also provided with a bevel gear 107, and the two bevel gears 107 are meshed with each other. A gear 110 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 109 close to the heat conducting groove 96. A connecting groove 111 that is interconnected with the transmission chamber 105 is provided on the inner wall of the heat conducting groove 96. A connecting plate 112 is provided on the outer surface of the top of the second heat conducting column 95. The other side of the connecting plate 112 extends into the transmission chamber 105 through the connecting groove 111 and slides in the connecting groove 111. A tooth plate 113 that meshes with the gear 110 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 112 located in the transmission chamber 105.
[0037] When in use, during the downward displacement of the second heat-conducting column 95, the connecting plate 112 drives the tooth plate 113 to move downward synchronously, the tooth plate 113 synchronously meshes with the transmission gear 110 to rotate, and the transmission rod 106 rotates synchronously under the meshing transmission of the two bevel gears 107. At this time, the worm 121 rotates synchronously with the transmission rod 106, and the worm wheel 104 rotates under the drive of the worm 121, so that the connecting shaft 114 drives the sealing plate 102 to rotate 180 degrees in the counterclockwise direction, and no longer seals the heat-conducting groove 96, and does not cause obstruction to the second heat-conducting column 95. At the same time, due to the sealing plate 10 2 The transmission adopts a worm gear. Since the worm gear has a self-locking effect, there is no need to worry about the sealing plate 102 rotating after rotation, ensuring the stability of the sealing plate 102 after opening. When the second heat-conducting column 95 moves upward and shrinks into the heat-conducting groove 96, the tooth plate 113 moves upward synchronously. When the bottom of the second heat-conducting column 95 moves to be flush with the lower surface of the infrared imaging housing 1, the tooth plate 113 engages with the gear 110 and drives the gear 110 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the sealing plate 102 to rotate clockwise and block the heat-conducting groove 96 again.
[0038] An inner cavity 115 is provided in the sealing plate 102, and a plurality of foot-operated air pumps 116 are provided on the inner wall of the inner cavity 115 away from the rubber sealing block 103. A plurality of nozzles 117 are inlaid on the surface of the sealing plate 102 close to the outer surface of the rubber sealing block 103. One end of the nozzle 117 passes through the inner cavity 115, and a connecting hose 120 for conveying gas is provided between the nozzle 117 and the foot-operated air pump 116. A push plate 118 is provided on the surface of the foot-operated air pump 116 away from the installation point, and a third push rod 119 is provided on the surface of the push plate 118 facing the foot-operated air pump 116. The other end of the third push rod 119 slides through the outer surface of the sealing plate 102, and a second tension spring 108 movably sleeved on the outer surface of the third push rod 119 is provided between the push plate 118 and the inner wall of the inner cavity 115.
[0039] When the sealing plate 102 rotates almost to 180 degrees, one end of the third push rod 119 passes through the sealing plate 102 and contacts the bottom of the infrared imaging housing 1, so that the third push rod 119 is displaced to one side of the inner cavity 115, so that the push plate 118 stretches the foot-operated air pump 116. During the stretching process of the foot-operated air pump 116, external air is sucked into the foot-operated air pump 116 through the nozzle 117. At the same time, the second tension spring 108 is stressed and stretched. When the sealing plate 102 rotates clockwise, the third push rod 119 loses its extrusion, and the second tension spring 108 pulls the foot-operated air pump 116 to move to In the initial position, the gas in the foot-operated air pump 116 is squeezed and ejected through the nozzle 117. Since the nozzle 117 is arranged on the side close to the outer surface of the rubber sealing block 103, the gas ejected by the nozzle 117 can be blown to the outer surface of the rubber sealing block 103, and the dust attached to the outer surface of the rubber sealing block 103 can be blown away, thereby avoiding dust or particles attached to the surface of the rubber sealing block 103 from entering the heat-conducting groove 96, resulting in a certain gap between the rubber sealing block 103 and the inner wall of the heat-conducting groove 96, thereby affecting the insulation effect against the external temperature.
