Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of optical remote sensing science and technology, and relates to a method for correcting radiation error noise of a large-array space infrared camera system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The inherent system radiation error of a large-array space infrared camera (generally with a pixel size of 2K*2K or more) is a radiation signal generated by its own components rather than a target scene, which is superimposed on the target signal and can cause the image signal-to-noise ratio and radiation accuracy to decrease, and even directly affect the detection of the target. In theory, this inherent system radiation error cannot be completely eliminated, but only can be reduced by technical means.

[0003] After the image of the large-array space infrared camera is corrected linearly or locally (single-point correction, two-point correction, and multi-point correction) based on the camera internal black body, due to some limitations of the optical system design, the light propagates in the lens and interacts with the lens and the lens barrel, etc., and a part of the light is scattered. This internal radiation can reduce the definition of the image, and even can cause the inherent residual error to be unable to be eliminated, and the relative correction accuracy to decrease. From the corrected black body image, the residual error appears as an inherent shape, such as a fixed pattern noise of a circular shape. This residual error cannot be solved by the reference-based non-uniform correction, and affects the absolute accuracy and application effect.

[0004] The reference-based black body radiation source calibration method is to collect uniform black body images at different temperatures, thereby deriving the single-point correction of the single-temperature-point uniform image, the two-point correction of the double-temperature-point uniform image, and the multi-point correction of the multi-temperature-point uniform image. These methods assume that the response of the infrared focal plane is linear or locally linear, or can be fitted by a curve. However, the above-mentioned reference-based calibration technology has little effect on the fixed pattern noise caused by the internal radiation.

[0005] The scene-based large-array non-uniformity correction method includes a statistical model-based non-uniformity correction method and a constant statistics-based method. However, the statistical model-based non-uniformity correction method removes the fixed pattern noise while also removing the static ground objects in the scene, which also causes serious "ghosting", and the cutoff frequency of the spatial filter and the time filter is also difficult to determine. The constant statistics-based method requires that the scene radiation received by each detection pixel has high diversity, and thus is highly dependent on sufficient scene motion. In addition, this type of method needs to accumulate a large number of image frames to ensure the gray value at each pixel position, which is almost impossible to achieve for the large-array infrared camera with a size of 2K*2K or more. In summary, the statistical model-based non-uniformity correction method mainly depends on the compliance of the infrared image sequence with the statistical assumption, but it is difficult to fully comply with the statistical assumption in practice. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem solved by this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for correcting radiation error noise in a large-area array space infrared camera system.

[0007] The solution of this invention is: a method for correcting radiation error noise in a large-area array space infrared camera system, comprising:

[0008] (1) Using internal blackbody imaging, obtain uniform blackbody images of a large-area array space infrared camera within each L frame with different imaging parameters and different brightness, where L≥10;

[0009] (2) Perform arithmetic averaging on the uniform blackbody images within each L frames with different imaging parameters and brightness to obtain the average blackbody image N. t (i,j) and the spatial mean of the mean image of the inner blackbody t represents different brightness levels, with values ​​for the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth levels; i and j represent the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the image pixels, respectively.

[0010] (3) Using external blackbody imaging, according to the imaging parameters and brightness settings described in (1), obtain uniform external blackbody images of each U-frame of the large-area array space infrared camera, U≥100;

[0011] (4) Calculate the quadratic calibration coefficients of the average inner blackbody image in (2) using the least squares method, and use the quadratic calibration coefficients to correct the uniform outer blackbody image in (3) to obtain corrected images with different brightness under different parameters.

[0012] (5) Perform radial gradient statistics on the corrected images with different brightness under different parameters to determine whether there is inherent internal radiation circular noise in the corrected images; if there is, proceed to step (6), otherwise end the correction.

[0013] (6) The blackbody images of each U-frame with different brightness under each parameter are calibrated, the compensation function is statistically analyzed, and the calibrated blackbody correction image is corrected using the compensation function to obtain the final corrected image.

[0014] Furthermore, the method of correcting the uniform image of the outer blackbody in (3) using quadratic scaling coefficients includes: firstly, calculating the quadratic scaling coefficients for five sets of known data points. Perform least squares fitting, assuming the fitting function is D(i,j)=a(i,j)*N t (i,j) 2 +b(i,j)*N t (i,j)+c(i,j) yields the quadratic scaling coefficients (a(i,j), b(i,j), c(i,j));

[0015] Where (i,j) represents the horizontal and vertical components of a pixel, and N1(i,j), N2(i,j), N3(i,j), N4(i,j), and N5(i,j) represent the values ​​at position (i,j) of the average blackbody image within the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth brightness levels, respectively; the first brightness level is 0.1 full-well, the fifth brightness level is 0.9 full-well, and the second, third, and fourth brightness levels take different values ​​within the range of 0.1 to 0.9 full-well. These represent the spatial mean values ​​of the blackbody average image within the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth brightness levels, respectively.

[0016] The uniform image of the outer blackbody is corrected using the quadratic scaling coefficients to obtain corrected images I(i,j) with different brightness under different parameters;

[0017] I(i,j) = a(i,j) * O(i,j) 2 +b(i,j)*O(i,j)+c(i,j)

[0018] Where O(i,j) represents the uniform image of the outer blackbody under different imaging parameters and brightness.

[0019] Furthermore, step (5) involves performing radial gradient statistics on the corrected images with different brightness levels under different parameters to determine whether the corrected images contain inherent internal radiation circular noise, including:

[0020] Determine the center point of the corrected image;

[0021] Calculate the total radial gradient intensity and radial gradient direction for each pixel in the corrected image;

[0022] Remove non-edge points from the corrected image to obtain edge points;

[0023] Calculate the radial gradient exponent and determine whether circular noise exists in the corrected image.

[0024] Furthermore, the calculation of the total radial gradient intensity and radial gradient direction of each pixel in the corrected image specifically involves: assuming the center of the corrected image is... x and y represent the number of pixels in the horizontal and vertical directions of the calibrated image, respectively. Let I(i,j) be any point in the calibrated image. Using the Sobel operator to convolve the calibrated image, the total radial gradient intensity and radial gradient direction of each pixel are obtained as follows:

[0025]

[0026] Where, G(i,j) xTo correct the lateral radial gradient intensity of each pixel in the image, G(i,j) y To correct the longitudinal radial gradient intensity of each pixel in the image, G(i,j) is the total radial gradient intensity of each pixel in the corrected image, and θ(i,j) is the radial gradient direction of each pixel in the corrected image.

[0027] Furthermore, based on the total radial gradient intensity and radial gradient direction of each pixel in the corrected image, non-edge points in the image are removed to obtain edge points, specifically:

[0028]

[0029] Where, I(i,j) margin These are radial gradient edge points, with a value of 1 for edge points and 0 for non-edge points.

[0030] Furthermore, based on the total radial gradient intensity of each pixel in the corrected image and the radial gradient direction, the radial gradient exponent RGI is calculated, specifically as follows:

[0031]

[0032] Where M is the set of radial gradient edge points, r p (i,j) is the center point To edge point I(i,j) margin The radial vector G(i,j) takes the value I(i,j). margin The total radial gradient intensity of the pixels when RGI = 1; the threshold is set to 0.9. If RGI > 0.9, it is considered that the calibrated image under this parameter still has inherent circular noise. If RGI ≤ 0.9, it is considered that the calibrated image under this parameter does not have inherent circular noise.

[0033] Furthermore, the statistical compensation function, and the use of the compensation function to correct the calibrated outer blackbody correction image, includes:

[0034] Calculate the spatiotemporal mean and standard deviation of the U-frame out-of-frame blackbody corrected images under different brightness levels, and statistically analyze their deviation.

[0035] The deviation at each point under different brightness levels is fitted using a polynomial function to obtain the deviation compensation function;

[0036] The calibrated image is corrected using a deviation compensation function to obtain a corrected image that can effectively correct the inherent annular radiation error.

[0037] Furthermore, the calculation of the spatiotemporal mean and standard deviation of the U-frame out-of-frame blackbody corrected image under different brightness levels, and the statistical analysis of its deviation, includes:

[0038] Calculate the blackbody-corrected image outside the U-frame under different brightness levels. Arithmetic mean:

[0039]

[0040] Calculate the spatiotemporal mean of the U-frame out-of-frame blackbody corrected image under different brightness levels. Standard deviation

[0041]

[0042] Statistical analysis of the spatiotemporal mean of U-frame out-of-frame blackbody corrected images under different brightness levels Standard deviation Deviation:

[0043]

[0044] t represents different brightness levels, and s represents the frame rate. This represents the spatiotemporal mean of the external blackbody corrected image under different brightness levels. Standard deviation The deviation; x and y are the number of pixels in the corrected image in the horizontal and vertical directions; To correct any point in the image, (i,j) represents the horizontal and vertical components of any pixel in the corrected image; This represents the arithmetic mean of the blackbody-corrected image outside the U-frame.

[0045] Furthermore, the deviation compensation function is obtained by performing a least-squares fit on the spatiotemporal mean and standard deviation deviation of each pixel. The fitted deviation compensation function is R(i,j) = A(i,j) × I. t s (i,j) 2 +B(i,j)×I t s (i,j)+C(i,j) yields the quadratic fitting coefficients (A(i,j), B(i,j), C(i,j)) for each point.

[0046] Furthermore, the calibrated image is corrected using a deviation compensation function to obtain a corrected image I that can effectively correct the inherent annular radiation error. n (i,j) is:

[0047] I n (i,j)=A(i,j)×I t s (i,j) 2 +B(i,j)×I t s (i,j)+C(i,j)

[0048] To correct any point in the image.

[0049] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0050] This invention uses laboratory calibration images of a large-area array space infrared camera, including inner blackbody calibration images and outer blackbody calibration images, as a reference to calculate a correction function. It uses the radial gradient statistical method to determine whether there is inherent internal radiation circular noise in the system and obtains the relevant statistics of the internal radiation noise of the large-area array space camera system. These statistics are then applied to the inherent circular background noise formed by thermal radiation of the camera's internal components to compensate for the fixed circular noise in the image. This improves calibration accuracy, reduces calibration cost, and ensures the accuracy of subsequent absolute radiometric correction and inversion. Attached Figure Description

Typically, the brightness is selected as 0.1 full well, 0.9 full well, and three more levels within the range of 0.1 to 0.9 full well. In this embodiment, the brightness is selected as 0.1 full well, 0.3 full well, 0.5 full well, 0.7 full well, and 0.9 full well.

[0055] Using external blackbody imaging, we obtained uniform images of different brightness from a large-area space infrared camera under different imaging parameters (the parameters correspond one-to-one with the on-board internal blackbody imaging), with each parameter having ≥100 frames.

Typically, five different brightness levels are selected within the full-well range of 0.1 to 0.9. In this embodiment, the brightness levels are 0.1 full-well, 0.3 full-well, 0.5 full-well, 0.7 full-well, and 0.9 full-well.

[0064] Where (a(i,j),b(i,j),c(i,j)) are the quadratic scaling coefficients.

[0072]

[0074] Preferably, based on the gradient intensity and direction of each pixel, non-edge points in the image are removed to obtain edge points, specifically as follows:

[0075]

[0076] Where, I(i,j) margin For radial gradient edge points, the value is 1; for non-edge points, the value is 0. Preferably, the radial gradient exponent is calculated based on the radial vector gradient intensity and direction, specifically as follows:

[0077]
