Description

Effective imaging pixel-based small target judgment method for measuring infrared radiation characteristics
Technical Field
The invention relates to a small target judgment method based on effective imaging pixel infrared radiation characteristic measurement.
Background
The infrared radiation characteristic measurement can acquire information of target such as radiation brightness distribution, radiation intensity, temperature and the like, and is important basic data for evaluating the target detection and identification capability and the target infrared stealth capability of an optical system. Generally, the targets are divided into surface targets and small targets according to the number of pixels imaged on the target surface of the detector by the targets. The energy radiated by the surface object to the space is related to the observation visual direction angle and the specific part of the radiation from the object, and the radiation distribution characteristic of the surface object is described by the radiation brightness. For small targets, the relation between radiation energy and observation visual angle is mainly focused, and the radiation characteristics of the small targets are described by using radiation intensity. The imaging process of the small target is influenced by factors such as atmospheric disturbance, diffraction of an optical system, down-sampling of a sensor and the like, the energy of the imaged target is dispersed to a plurality of pixels, the dispersed image energy distribution area is larger than an ideal geometric imaging area, the edge of the target image is fuzzy, and the peak gray level is reduced. If a small object is treated as an area object, describing the radiance characteristics of the object using radiance will cause large errors. Therefore, there is a need for effectively distinguishing whether an object is a surface object or a small object in infrared radiation characteristic measurement.
Different research institutions give different plane target and small target distinguishing references, and some targets with the ideal geometric imaging pixel number of the target projection area smaller than 10 multiplied by 10pixel or 12 multiplied by 12pixel are defined as small targets; some targets have a ratio of the angle of view of the target to the optical imager to the instantaneous field of view of the optical imager of greater than 10, and point targets have a ratio of less than (equal to) 1. The essence of the method is based on the ideal geometric imaging pixel number of the target projection area on the infrared focal plane. When the infrared radiation characteristic of the target is actually measured, particularly when the radiation characteristic of the aerial flight target is measured, the actual external dimension of the target is difficult to obtain, and the posture of the target relative to the measuring equipment changes in real time, so that the ideal geometric imaging pixel number of the target to the measuring equipment is difficult to obtain. It can be seen that when measuring the infrared radiation intensity of a small target at present, there are two problems: firstly, the number of ideal geometric imaging pixels of a target relative to the projection area of a measuring device in actual measurement is difficult to obtain, and the current small target judgment method based on the number of the ideal geometric imaging pixels of the target is difficult to apply in practice; secondly, a unified judging method is lacked for distinguishing the surface target and the small target, the difference of the imaging effect of the infrared imaging systems of different models on the target is larger, the current method taking a certain determined ideal imaging pixel number as a judging reference does not fully consider the imaging characteristics of the infrared imaging systems of different models, and the applicability is not strong.

Here, the point spread function and the discrete system imaging model are not changed after the first step determination, so that here, only step two needs to be repeated and i is changed to generate simulated images of different K values.

wherein, O opt (u, v) limits the contribution to the optical transfer function for the optical system, and D (u, v) limits the contribution to the optical transfer function for the focal plane array, u and v being the spatial frequencies in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.
The optical transfer function induced by the optical system limitations mainly includes diffraction-limited contributions and aberration contributions. Among them, diffraction confinement plays a major role. For a circular aperture optical system, the optical transfer function due to diffraction limitations is:

wherein, K and M r And respectively outputting the target side length theoretical imaging pixel number and the target area theoretical imaging pixel number in the system output image generated by the simulation.
By changing the value of i, a series of target images with different K values are generated in a simulation mode. Typically, K varies from 1 to 100.
(3) Target effective imaging pixel extraction method based on 3 sigma principle
And judging whether the pixels in the simulation generated image are target effective imaging pixels or not according to a 3 sigma principle. Making the gray level in the image larger than the background gray level mean value
Figure BDA0002255598880000122
And 3 times background gray standard deviation sigma b The summed pixels are defined as target effective imaging pixels, that is, the gray threshold of the effective imaging pixels is:

Then, the pixel is the effective imaging pixel.
The flow of the statistical method for the number of effective imaging pixels is shown in fig. 3. In order to suppress the noise influence and improve the statistical accuracy, the specific statistical method is as follows:
1) Binarizing the simulation generated image by utilizing a gray threshold value to obtain a binarized target image;
2) Performing digital morphological expansion operation on the binarized target image to obtain an expanded binarized target image, counting a connected region in the image, and recording a pixel index range corresponding to the connected region with the largest area as A;
3) Extracting a simulation generated image g d (n 1 ,n 2 ) The pixels belonging to the area A are obtained to obtain an effective imaging pixel distribution area image g deff (n 1 ,n 2 ) Comparing the effective imaging pixel distribution area image with a gray threshold value to obtain
Figure BDA0002255598880000125

4) Calculating the sum of all elements in the binary matrix to obtain the effective imaging pixel number M eff
(4) Small target judgment method based on characteristic curve
Defining the ratio of the theoretical imaging pixel number of the target area to the effective imaging pixel number as follows:
Figure BDA0002255598880000131
because of the dispersion effect of the system point spread function, the target effective imaging pixel number obtained by the 3 σ principle is always larger than the theoretical imaging pixel number, and therefore R is a number smaller than 1. The larger the R is, the closer the target theoretical imaging pixel number and the effective imaging pixel number are, and the closer the target image gray distribution and the theoretical imaging gray distribution are, the target can be treated as a surface target; the smaller the R is, the larger the difference between the number of target theoretical imaging pixels and the number of effective imaging pixels is, the more target effective imaging pixels are caused by the dispersion effect in the image, the larger the difference between the target image gray distribution and the theoretical imaging gray distribution is, and the target is treated as a small target.
And counting the target effective imaging pixel number of a series of target images with different K values generated by simulation to obtain a characteristic curve of R changing along with K. A typical characteristic is shown in fig. 4. When the R value is smaller, the characteristic curve rapidly rises along with the increase of K; when R increases to 0.8, the rising speed of the characteristic curve slows down, and the curve becomes gentle. Threshold effective imaging pixel number M determined with the target effective imaging pixel number when R =0.8 as the small target cri The judgment criteria are established as follows:
Figure BDA0002255598880000132
whether the target in the actual image obtained by the infrared radiation characteristic measurement system is a small target can be judged by using the formula.
Details not described in the examples are known to the person skilled in the art.
