Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of spectral imaging technology, and in particular relates to a method for demodulating spectral data. Background Technology

[0002] Spectral imaging technology, a remote sensing technique that emerged in the 1980s, is used to acquire the spectral information of targets, and this technology has experienced rapid development in recent years. When applied to remote sensing, spectral acquisition methods can be mainly divided into two types: dispersive and interferometric. Dispersive imaging can be further divided into grating dispersion and prism dispersion. Both grating dispersion and prism dispersion disperse light containing different wavelengths at different angles and positions to achieve spectral splitting. Interferometric imaging primarily relies on various optical elements to generate optical path differences, using Fourier transform to achieve spectral demodulation.

[0003] A Fabry-Pérot interferometer (FP) is a multi-beam interferometer. Compared to dispersive spectrometers, spectrometers using FP as their dispersive system have higher light energy utilization and extremely high spectral resolution compared to interferometric spectrometers. However, there is a mutual constraint between the spectral resolution and the free spectral range of an FP interferometer. A larger FP spacing (the distance between the two parallel plates in the FP interferometer) results in higher spectral resolution but a smaller free spectral range. If the spectral range exceeds the free spectral range, spectral aliasing occurs, making it impossible to obtain the target's spectral information using intuitive geometric processing methods. Therefore, traditional FP interferometers can only be used in extremely narrow spectral ranges. Related techniques have proposed using singular value decomposition (SVD) to solve for aliased FP interferometric spectral curves; however, this method is sensitive to image noise, which needs to be controlled below 0.2% to reconstruct the spectral curve effectively. This significantly limits the application areas of FP interferometers.

[0004] In summary, for spectrometers that use FP interferometers as their spectroscopic system, optimizing the data demodulation and improving its noise immunity to achieve high-precision spectral detection and applications is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a method for demodulating spectral data, which at least helps to improve the demodulation accuracy of spectral data.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution created by this invention is implemented as follows:

[0007] This invention provides a method for demodulating spectral data, comprising: Step 1, providing an imaging spectrometer, acquiring multiple images of the same target point using the imaging spectrometer, and outputting an electron number expression for the modulation curve corresponding to each image; Step 2, obtaining the optimal solution x0 of the least squares problem of the electron number expression using singular value decomposition; Step 3, constructing an unconstrained optimization function based on the electron number expression; Step 4, using the optimal solution x0 as the initial value for the iterative input of the unconstrained optimization function, and using the LM algorithm to obtain the minimum solution x of the unconstrained optimization function, where x is the demodulated spectral data.

[0008] Furthermore, the imaging spectrometer includes a front mirror group, an FP module, an imaging mirror, and a detector arranged sequentially. The imaging spectrometer acquires n images of the same target point, and the detector outputs an expression for the number of electrons in the n modulation curves corresponding to the n images. The expression for the number of electrons is as follows: Where i is 1, 2, 3...n, j is 1, 2, 3...n, x(λ) j) λ is the exit pupil radiance of the imaging spectrometer. j Let λ be the wavelength of the different interference rays after the beam is split, h be Planck's constant, C be the speed of light, and I be the wavelength of the interference rays. i For the detector's signal output, T in For the integration time, A d F is the pixel area of ​​the detector. # Let τ0(λ) be the F-number of the imaging spectrometer. j T represents the transmittance of the imaging spectrometer. FP (λ j ,θ i η(λ) is the spectral transmittance function of the FP module. j ) represents the quantum efficiency of the detector, Δλ j For spectral resolution.

[0009] Furthermore, T FP (θ i ,λ j The expression for ) is as follows:

[0010]

[0011] Where θ is the angle at which the beam enters the FP module, R is the specular reflectivity of the FP module, d is the mirror spacing of the FP module, λ is the wavelength, and n is the refractive index of the medium.

[0012] Furthermore, step two also includes: simplifying the electron number expression to Formula 1, as follows: I = Kx; where I is I i The matrix x is x(λ) j A matrix of K, where K is K i The matrix, i is 1, 2, 3...n;

[0013] The optimal solution x0 of the least squares problem in Formula 1 is obtained by using singular value decomposition.

[0014] Furthermore, step three includes: transforming formula 1 into formula 2, as follows:

[0015] F(λ) = I - Kx;

[0016] Based on Equation 2, an unconstrained optimization function is constructed as follows:

[0017]

[0018] Furthermore, the LM algorithm is used to obtain the minimum solution x of the unconstrained optimization function, which includes: selecting initial input parameters β and σ, where β and σ ∈ (0,1), selecting x0 as the initial data point, selecting the allowable error ξ, where the allowable error ξ satisfies 0 ≤ ξ ≤ 1, and determining the small iteration number m and the large iteration number k; obtaining the derivative g(x) of the unconstrained optimization function, where g(x) = ▽f(x); determining whether g(x) satisfies Ⅱg(x)Ⅱ ≤ ξ; if it satisfies Ⅱg(x)Ⅱ ≤ ξ, then stop the calculation and output x; if it does not satisfy Ⅱg(x)Ⅱ ≤ ξ, then solve the system of equations: (J k T J k +u k I0)d=-J k T F k The solution d is obtained. k Where I0 is the identity matrix, F k For x k Substituting into the F(λ) matrix obtained from Formula 2, x k The initial value is x0, J k J is the Jacobian matrix of Formula 2. k T For J k The transpose of u k Given the L2 norm of Formula 2; determine whether f(x) satisfies the condition. k +β m d k )≤f(x k )+σβ m g(x k ) T d k If so, then m = m k If not, then m = 0; based on m, execute α. k :=β m And execute x k +1:=x k+α k d k Determine if m satisfies m < m max If yes, then m = m + 1; otherwise, update u. k u k =||f(x) k )|| 2 Determine if k satisfies k < k max If yes, then k = k + 1; otherwise, output x.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: The spectral data demodulation method provided by the present invention is a data demodulation method for imaging spectrometers based on multi-level aliased FP interferometers. Compared with the method of solving the aliased FP interferometric spectral curves by using singular value decomposition, the present invention constructs an optimization function and uses an optimization iterative algorithm to demodulate the spectral data. Moreover, the initial value of the optimization iterative algorithm is obtained by using singular value decomposition, which can improve the system's anti-noise interference capability and significantly improve the data demodulation accuracy and detection accuracy of the imaging spectrometer. This is conducive to expanding the application scenarios of FP interferometers and has broad engineering application value. Attached Figure Description
