Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polarization imaging technology, and in particular to a polarization spectral modulation type multi-band stereo imaging method. Background Technology

[0002] In 1979, Japanese scientist Koshikawa pioneered the theory of three-dimensional reconstruction of target surface morphology based on polarization information. In 1988, American scholar Wolff systematically analyzed Fresnel reflection theory, revealing the relationship between the polarization characteristics of light waves on the object surface and the macroscopic geometric morphology. By introducing azimuth angle and degree of polarization, he achieved three-dimensional reconstruction of specular reflection targets.

[0003] A team from the Institute of Space Optics, School of Physics, Xi'an Jiaotong University, proposed a method for modulating polarization spectral intensity using only a single fixed multi-stage delayer, and a DIP-SP reconstruction method that combines a sparse prior-based physical model with a deep image prior based on an untrained neural network. This method compresses and encodes the Stokes parameters using a modulation module, then uses a reconstruction algorithm to demodulate the spectral image cube containing the Stokes parameters. It offers advantages in system simplification and accurate reconstruction of polarization spectral information, and also exhibits strong noise resistance. However, this scheme relies on a series of complex algorithms, which cannot guarantee its real-time performance and versatility.

[0004] Existing technology uses a quarter-wave plate to convert the linearly polarized light of the target beam into circularly polarized light. After processing by a multi-stage phase delayer, a polarization beam splitter generates two beams with a certain discrete angle. The beams contain polarization information. The grating of the spectral imaging module performs dispersion processing on the two beams entering the slit, and forms corresponding target images in two regions of the area array detector assembly. The pixels of the target images received by the area array detector assembly that have the same incident angle and the same spectral channel in the two regions are calculated together to obtain the spectral, polarization, and spatial information of the target.

[0005] Existing technologies use polarization modulators and snapshot imaging spectrometers to spectrally modulate the full Stokes parameters. By constructing a complete imaging physics model or an imaging physics model based on compressed sensing, and then using untrained artificial neural networks, the full Stokes parameter images under each narrow band can be reconstructed.

[0006] Existing technology uses two polarization cameras to acquire polarization channel information and polarization spectral channel information. The polarization spectral channel uses a blazed grating to generate dispersion and produce spectral separation. After being modulated by a reflective micromirror array, the dispersed light carrying spatial and spectral compression information is reflected and imaged on a focal plane polarization camera in the polarization spectral channel. Depending on the different DMD loading encoding modes during acquisition, a restoration algorithm based on Hadamard transform, compressed sensing theory, and deep learning theory is used to reconstruct the polarization spectral image. Finally, the polarization spectral imaging subsystem obtains image data of the target in two-dimensional space, one-dimensional spectrum, and one-dimensional polarization.

[0007] Traditional polarization 3D reconstruction only reconstructs the 3D shape of the target without considering its material composition. Spectral imaging can use data cubes of the target in different spectral bands to identify the material composition of the target, but it lacks depth clues and cannot simultaneously acquire material composition and 3D shape.

[0008] Existing polarization spectral imaging systems mostly employ spectral splitting modules and polarization modulators / filters. These modules utilize dispersive or filtering devices, and the use of grating-based splitting and filtering equipment complicates the optical structure. The addition of spectrometers and other equipment increases system costs and makes maintenance difficult. Furthermore, as the number of spectral channels increases, the energy acquired through the splitting module decreases, leading to a decline in the accuracy of the acquired polarization spectral information. Moreover, most polarization spectral devices only acquire two-dimensional image information of the target and do not achieve three-dimensional reconstruction. Summary of the Invention

[0009] This invention provides a polarization spectral modulation type multi-band stereo imaging method, which solves the problem that existing polarization spectral imaging schemes in the prior art cannot achieve three-dimensional reconstruction of the target.

Based on the degree of polarization and the polarization angle, the zenith angle and azimuth angle corresponding to different spectral channels in each imaging sub-path are calculated using Fresnel's law of reflection and motion recovery structure, respectively. The surface normal gradient field is calculated based on the zenith angle and azimuth angle corresponding to different spectral channels in each imaging sub-path, and the three-dimensional surface morphology corresponding to the center wavelength of each channel is reconstructed by frequency domain integration. By fusing the three-dimensional surface topography of all spectral channels, multi-band three-dimensional reconstruction is achieved through spatial alignment and spectral weighting to obtain the final imaging result.

[0056] This invention splits the light emitted by the target object into n independent optical paths through a beam splitting system. The spectral-polarization modulation system is composed of multiple three-way filters and polarizers. Different filters allow light of specific wavelengths to pass through and cooperate with polarizers at different angles, so that the spectral and polarization characteristics of each light path are precisely modulated.

[0057] This invention is highly innovative in the design and application of three-way filters and polarizers. First, the combination of the three-way filter and polarizer is not a simple stacking, but an optimized design based on a deep understanding of spectral and polarization characteristics. The accompanying polarizer modulates the polarization of light at a specific transmission angle, ensuring that the transmitted light not only has a specific spectral channel but also a specific polarization direction, ultimately achieving the simultaneous acquisition of multiple polarization spectral components of the target.

[0058] This invention designs a polarization spectral modulation scheme with a simple structure and high light energy utilization. It obtains accurate polarization spectral information through linear calculation, and then uses the obtained polarization spectral information to solve for the degree of polarization and the polarization angle. Based on the degree of polarization and the polarization angle, it calculates the azimuth angle and zenith angle of the micro-surface element normal. Finally, it uses a surface integration algorithm to reconstruct the surface morphology of different targets.

[0059] The key lies in the designed polarization spectral imaging system and the method for linearly solving accurate polarization multispectral information. This ensures that the polarization multispectral information is linearly and accurately solved from the original signal, thereby realizing the three-dimensional reconstruction of the target under multiple spectral bands.
