If one of the reference points is the rotation center of the chopper, the position of the center of the chopper circle in the image needs to be determined. And then in the same coordinate system, calculating the angle of an included angle between a first connecting line of two reference points in one image and a second connecting line of two reference points in the other image in the pair of images, and dividing the angle by the rotating speed of the chopper to obtain the delay time of the image fusion system to be detected. Alternatively, multiple pairs of images may be used to find multiple delay times, which are then averaged to determine a relatively accurate delay time. The processor may also display the calculated delay time via a display screen.
Fig. 5 shows a flow chart of a delay measurement method for an image fusion system. As shown in fig. 5, the present invention further provides a delay measuring method for an image fusion system, which may include: step S51, modulating light output by the multiband light source by a chopper to form modulated light, and enabling the modulated light to enter an image fusion system to be measured for fusion, wherein a first reference point and a second reference point different from the first reference point are arranged on a blade of the chopper; step S52, after the image fusion system to be detected outputs the fusion image, controlling a first camera to shoot the chopper to generate a first image set, and controlling a second camera to shoot the image displayed by the image fusion system to be detected to generate a second image set, wherein the first camera and the second camera are controlled to start shooting at the same time; step S53 of calculating, in the same coordinate system, an angle between a first line between a first reference point and a second reference point displayed in a specific image in the first image set and a second line between the first reference point and the second reference point displayed in an image corresponding to the specific image in the second image set; and step S54, calculating the time delay of the image fusion system to be measured according to the included angle and the rotating speed of the chopper. The method can quickly and accurately measure the time delay of the image fusion system to be measured.
The specific working principle and the benefits of the delay measurement method for the image fusion system provided by the embodiment of the invention are similar to those of the delay measurement device for the image fusion system, and are not repeated here.
Fig. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a delay measuring apparatus for an image fusion system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6, correspondingly, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a delay measuring device for an image fusion system, where the delay measuring device includes: the system comprises a multiband light source 10, a chopper 20 and a processor 60, wherein a reference point is arranged on a blade of the chopper 20, the reference point is any point except for the rotation center of the blade of the chopper 20, the chopper 20 is used for modulating light output by the multiband light source 10 to form modulated light, and the modulated light is incident to an image fusion system 40 to be measured for fusion; after the image fusion system under test 40 outputs the fused image, the processor 60 is configured to: intercepting a frame of fused image from the fused image output by the image fusion system 40 to be detected, wherein the light output by the multiband light source comprises infrared light and visible light, the fused image output by the image fusion system 40 to be detected is formed by fusing a visible light image and an infrared image, and calculating an included angle between a first connecting line between the reference point displayed in the visible light image of the intercepted fused image and the displayed rotation center and a second connecting line between the reference point displayed in the infrared image of the intercepted fused image and the displayed rotation center; and calculating the time delay of the image fusion system 40 to be measured according to the included angle and the rotating speed of the chopper.
The time delay of the image fusion system calculated in this embodiment refers to the synchronization degree of the image fusion system, and the synchronization degree of the image fusion system refers to the time difference between the time delays from the different band images (such as visible light and infrared images) received by the detector of the image fusion system to the time delay of the display screen of the image fusion system in the process of displaying the corresponding band images. Due to the fact that the delay time of the fusion processing of the visible image and the infrared image is different, the two images are displayed in a delayed mode, display is asynchronous, the phenomenon that the fused images are separated appears on a display screen, and therefore the synchronization degree of the image fusion system to be detected can be obtained by measuring the display delay between the visible image and the infrared image. The larger the synchronization degree is, the poorer the synchronization of the image output of different wave bands of the image fusion system is.
And under the condition that the blades of the chopper uniformly rotate at a certain speed, the ratio of the included angle to the rotating speed of the chopper is the delay time of the image fusion system to be detected. During specific measurement, a plurality of frames of images output by image fusion can be intercepted aiming at a certain rotating speed, the delay time is respectively calculated aiming at each frame of image, and then the average delay time of the plurality of frames of images is taken as the delay time of the image fusion system. Alternatively, a delay time may be calculated for each of a plurality of different rotational speeds, and then an average value of the calculated plurality of delay times is used as the delay time of the image fusion system.
In actual implementation, the processor 60 may be, for example, a PC, and may output a video signal (e.g., gigabit ethernet, USB, etc.) output by the image fusion system to the PC by using an image transmission device.
The processor may calculate the delay by: image screening, image segmentation, feature extraction, time delay calculation and display and the like. Specifically, the processor may convert the video signal output by the image fusion system to be tested into images frame by frame, and screen out the images containing the reference points from the converted images. Then, image segmentation processing is carried out on the screened image to extract an area only containing the chopper, and a first mass center of a reference point displayed on the infrared image, a second mass center of the reference point displayed on the visible light image and a third mass center of a chopper rotation center displayed on the image are detected. In the same coordinate system, an included angle between a first connecting line between the first centroid and the third centroid and a second connecting line between the second centroid and the third centroid is calculated according to coordinates of the three centroids. The time delay (i.e., the degree of synchronization) of the image fusion system to be measured can be obtained by dividing the included angle by the rotating speed of the chopper.
Further, the delay measuring device for an image fusion system provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include: and a collimator, which may be disposed between the chopper 20 and the image fusion system 40 to be tested, through which the modulated light output by the chopper may be incident to the image fusion system 40 to be tested. The collimator can correct the modulated light modulated by the chopper 20 into parallel light, which is equivalent to that the visible light and the infrared light in the modulated light are equivalent to parallel light from infinity, and the parallelism of the visible light beam and the infrared light beam is ensured so as to be absorbed by the visible light detector and the infrared detector in the image fusion system 40 to be detected.
Further, the delay measuring device for an image fusion system provided by the present invention may further include: a rotational speed control device by which the processor can drive the chopper to operate at a fixed rotational speed. The rotational speed control means may comprise a stepper motor (which may be a bi-directional hybrid stepper motor, for example) and a stepper motor driver.
