Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of modulation coding, detector multiplexing, space-based infrared staring imaging system, and particularly relates to a space-based infrared staring imaging system based on detector multiplexing sub-field modulation coding. BACKGROUND
[0002] The space-based infrared staring imaging system is one of the important application directions of space optical detection, and is widely used for monitoring high-temperature radiation targets on the earth's surface and near-earth space, especially infrared point sources with high-speed motion characteristics, such as aircraft exhaust, space debris combustion or other transient thermal events. In recent years, with the continuous progress of satellite platforms, launch vehicles and infrared detector manufacturing processes, it has become possible to build a space infrared observation system with high resolution and large coverage. However, due to the limitations of the size of the current detector array, the size of the pixel and the detection sensitivity, the system still has bottlenecks in the expansion of the field of view (FOV). Limited detector array often cannot balance high-resolution imaging and large-scale coverage, making it difficult for a single satellite to achieve continuous staring observation of a large area, especially to ensure stable capture and continuous tracking of fast-moving targets. Therefore, how to realize large field of view, high resolution imaging and dynamic target recognition under the condition of limited detector has become a technical challenge that needs to be solved in the current space infrared observation field.
[0003] To break through the contradiction between the size of the detector and the field of view, existing research has proposed a variety of solutions. For example, the push-broom imaging mode relies on satellite orbit motion to achieve large-scale coverage, but this mode puts forward very high requirements for platform attitude stability and on-orbit data processing capability, and the target is easy to be missed due to insufficient time sampling within the imaging period; multi-satellite networking cooperation can alleviate the coverage deficiency of a single satellite to some extent, but the implementation cost of its constellation scale, on-orbit formation control and high-speed data transmission link is very high; the development of large-array high-sensitivity detectors can directly expand the system field of view, but it is subject to manufacturing process difficulty and cost, and it is currently difficult to meet the engineering application requirements. In addition, some methods try to achieve wide monitoring through optical structure optimization or multi-focal plane detection, but it is often difficult to balance resolution, sensitivity and real-time performance in complex target scenarios. These solutions have their own advantages, but they all have problems such as high implementation complexity, poor engineering adaptability or high cost, which are not enough to support large-scale applications and cannot fundamentally break through the bottleneck of detector manufacturing process.

[0078] The space-based infrared staring imaging system based on detector multiplexing field-of-view modulation coding of the present invention implements field-of-view modulation coding in the following principle:
[0079] When a cylindrical mirror with curvature in the Y direction is used as a field-of-view modulation and coding element to shape incident light in a large field of view, it introduces various off-axis aberrations. These off-axis aberrations not only evolve with the field of view position, but their directional differences and amplitude variations also directly determine the adjustable characteristics of the light spot. Specifically, under the action of the sixth lens 6 of the cylindrical mirror, which acts as a field-of-view modulation and coding element: when the field of view expands along the X direction, the coma direction and the principal axis of astigmatism rotate, causing the focal line of the light spot to deflect accordingly; while when the field of view increases along the Y direction, astigmatism and field curvature effects are enhanced, causing the size of the light spot to stretch or shrink in a specific direction. The combined effect significantly changes the geometric characteristics of the light spot, resulting in controllable and differentiated geometric features of the light spot under different fields of view. Based on this principle, this invention utilizes a cylindrical mirror to modulate and shape the light spot to achieve the marking and differentiation of targets in different fields of view.
[0080] Imaging quality of the space-based infrared staring imaging system based on detector multiplexing field-of-view modulation coding of the present invention:
[0081] In the imaging optical path of this invention, the selected small-area detector pixel size is 15μm. For example... Figure 3 As shown, within the 3μm-5μm operating band, the modulation transfer function (MTF) of this imaging optical path remains above 0.30 at the Nyquist frequency of approximately 33.3 lp / mm for a detector pixel size of 15μm, indicating that the present invention still possesses ideal imaging contrast at the cutoff frequency. These results demonstrate that the system aberrations of the present invention are adequately controlled, and edge details, texture information, and contour features are clearly transmitted. This significantly improves target recognition, localization capabilities, and the accuracy of centroid extraction, meeting the requirements for achieving wide-swath space-based infrared detection with the advantages of low power consumption and low cost of a small-target detector.
[0082] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the geometric changes in the light spot caused by off-axis aberrations not only possess stable directionality but also exhibit consistent controllability within the two-dimensional field of view. This establishes a physically reasonable and repeatable mapping relationship between aberration-modulated light spot features and the target's field of view position. The encoding mechanism relies on the monotonic and stable trends of the changes in the light spot shape features driven by these aberrations. It is these stable trends that provide sufficient discriminative information to distinguish different sub-field of view regions. This method not only fully utilizes the physical response characteristics of the imaging system but also provides more discriminative feature support for the localization of small targets in complex backgrounds.
[0083] The feasibility of this invention has been verified through theoretical analysis, optical modeling, and numerical simulation. Simulation results show that, under the same detector specifications, this scheme can effectively expand the system's field of view, enabling imaging of multiple field-of-view rays on a single detector array, while maintaining high imaging resolution and spot discrimination. Some functional principles have been preliminarily verified through an experimental platform, and the experimental results are consistent with the simulation predictions, indicating that this scheme has good engineering feasibility and application potential.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
