Description

[0002] An infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) is a core component of an infrared imaging system, widely used in short-wave, mid-wave, and long-wave thermal infrared imaging. Its performance directly determines the quality of infrared images and the system's detection capability. Within an IRFPA, due to factors such as manufacturing processes, differences in material properties, or long-term performance degradation, some pixels may exhibit abnormal responses (these pixels are called "bad pixels"). Bad pixels introduce defects such as static noise and artifacts into infrared images, severely reducing image clarity and information accuracy, thereby affecting the precision and reliability of critical applications such as infrared image-based target recognition and temperature measurement.

This method is applicable to the detection of bad elements in short-wave infrared focal plane arrays, mid-wave infrared focal plane arrays, and long-wave infrared focal plane arrays, and can meet the bad element detection requirements of different infrared imaging systems. It has good versatility, and the method completes the bad element detection in one step based on infrared radiometric calibration data. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0060] S1: Align the infrared imaging system with the standard extended source calibration blackbody.

[0061] S2: Collect image grayscale values ​​at different standard extended source calibration blackbody temperatures and different integration times.

[0062] Step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0063] Step S21: Set the temperature of the standard extended source calibration blackbody to T1, and set the integration time of the infrared imaging system to t1, t2, ..., ty respectively. Collect the image gray values ​​at integration times t1, t2, ..., ty to obtain DN(T1, t1), DN(T1, t2), ..., DN(T1, ty).

[0064] Step S22: Set the temperature of the standard extended source calibration blackbody to T2, and set the integration time of the infrared imaging system to t1, t2, ..., tn respectively. Collect the image gray values ​​at integration times t1, t2, ..., ty to obtain DN(T2, t1), DN(T2, t2), ..., DN(T2, ty).

[0065] Step S23: Sequentially set the temperature of the standard extended source calibration blackbody to T3, T4, ..., Tx (x≥3, x is a positive integer). At each temperature, collect the image grayscale value with t1, t2, ..., ty as the integration time to obtain DN(T3, t1), ..., DN(T3, ty), ..., DN(Tx, t1), ..., DN(Tx, ty).

[0066] S3: Based on the first and second radiation constants, calculate the radiance values ​​corresponding to different temperatures of the standard extended source calibration blackbody.

[0067] Step S3 is used to calculate the radiance values ​​of the standard extended source calibration blackbody at temperatures T1, T2, ..., Tx. The formula for calculating the radiance value at each temperature is as follows:

[0068] ;

[0069] in, This represents the radiance value of a standard extended source calibrated blackbody; Indicates the first radiation constant; Indicates the second radiation constant; Indicates the center wavelength of the operating band of the infrared imaging system; This indicates the temperature of the standard extended source calibrated blackbody.

[0070] Calculated using the above formula, the radiance values ​​corresponding to the standard extended source calibration blackbody temperatures T1~Tx are L(T1)~L(Tx).

Radiance value; This indicates the blackbody temperature calibrated using a standard extended source. and integration time Below, the image grayscale value of each pixel.

[0075] For each pixel, image grayscale values ​​DN(Tx, ty) are collected at different standard extended source calibrated blackbody temperatures (corresponding to radiances L1, L2, ..., Lx) and different integration times (t1, t2, ..., ty), forming a dataset. The gain coefficient for each pixel can be calculated by fitting this dataset to the aforementioned integration time calibration equation using the least squares method.

[0077] Dynamic bias coefficient It is used to show the shift of the pixel's basic response (the part independent of radiance) when the integration time changes, and its value will change accordingly with the change of integration time.

[0078] Static bias coefficient It is the inherent basic response offset of the pixel itself (not affected by the integration time), usually caused by the inherent characteristics of the device itself (such as dark current), and reflects the inherent offset of the pixel's basic gray level.

[0079] By establishing an integral time calibration equation, the gain coefficient, dynamic bias coefficient, and static bias coefficient of each pixel are obtained through fitting. This quantifies the degree of anomaly from the essential level of pixel response coefficients. Compared with the traditional judgment method based directly on image grayscale values, this method can more accurately capture the abnormal patterns of pixel response and significantly improve the accuracy of bad pixel identification.

[0080] S5: Calculate the average calibration coefficient of all pixels based on the calibration coefficient of each pixel obtained from the fitting; where the average calibration coefficient includes the average gain coefficient, the average dynamic bias coefficient, and the average static bias coefficient.

The greater the difference between the gain coefficient of a pixel (reflecting its sensitivity to changes in radiance) and the baseline of a normal pixel, the more abnormal the pixel's response to changes in infrared radiance (potentially oversensitive or undersensitive). This can cause the pixel's image grayscale value (DN) to deviate significantly from that of surrounding normal pixels under the same radiance change, resulting in problems such as grayscale jumps and abnormal contrast.

(Base response offset caused by inherent device characteristics) and normal pixels The greater the benchmark difference, the more... Unaffected by points time, The larger the value, the more severe the inherent grayscale abnormality of the pixel. Even under the same integration time and the same radiance conditions, its basic grayscale value will deviate significantly from the normal range (such as being continuously brighter or darker), forming a fixed abnormal grayscale point.

[0097] The offset between the static bias coefficient of a pixel and the average static bias coefficient. Represents the static bias coefficient of a certain pixel. Average static bias coefficient of all pixels The absolute difference; the larger the absolute difference, the better for the pixel. Compared with normal pixels The greater the baseline difference, the more abnormal the change in the base grayscale of that pixel will be at different integration times. Normally, the base grayscale of a pixel will adjust according to a fixed pattern with the integration time, while... Large pixels will exhibit a significant deviation from normal logic in terms of the magnitude and trend of their base grayscale changes with integration time, resulting in the pixel consistently displaying abnormal grayscale in images acquired at different integration times.

[0098] , , The larger the value, the more significantly the key response coefficient of the pixel deviates from the normal state, the more severe the abnormal response it exhibits in the image, and the higher the probability of it being judged as a bad pixel.

[0110] This method can complete the detection of all bad elements based on multi-condition data collected in a single infrared radiation calibration process, eliminating the need for multiple independent calibration or detection procedures in stages. This simplifies the operation steps, saves time on the calibration and bad element detection of the infrared imaging system, and significantly improves the overall work efficiency.
