Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The invention firstly analyzes the infrared polarization information difference of the target material as follows:
for opaque radiation targets, the radiation at their surface consists mainly of background reflection and self-radiation. From the infrared polarized imaging radiation transmission model, it is known that for an opaque radiation object, the Stokes vector S before it is incident on the polarizing device in Expressed as:
S in =S r +S e =∫f(θ iirr ,λ)cos(θ r )dΩ r ·S isurf ·I obj (1)
s in r For reflecting Stokes vectors for objects, S e For self-radiating Stokes vector, θ i For incident zenith angle, θ r For reflecting zenith angle phi i For incident azimuth angle phi r Is the reflection azimuth angle, lambda is the detection wavelength, f (θ iirr Lambda) is the bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), epsilon surf For the surface emissivity of the material, I obj DΩ for the target radiation intensity i Is the solid angle of incidence. The transmission relation of incident radiation to reflected radiation is represented by a Fresnel reflection Muller matrix and a BRDF model based on the micro-bin theory, and the Stokes vector S of an incident interface is used i Can obtain reflected Stokes vector S r Can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002526709240000061
wherein the method comprises the steps of
Figure BDA0002526709240000062
Respectively representing the reflected Stokes parameters, ">
Figure BDA0002526709240000063
Respectively represent the incident Stokes parameters, the parameters S 0 Is related to the intensity of the incident light; s is S 1 Correlating with linear polarization information in the 0 ° and 90 ° directions; s is S 2 Correlating with linear polarization information in 45 ° and 135 ° directions; s is S 3 Is related to the left-handed and right-handed circular polarization informationClose, f 00 、f 01 、f 02 、f 03 、f 10 、f 11 、f 12 、f 13 、f 20 、f 21 、f 22 、f 23 、f 30 、f 31 、f 32 、f 33 To obtain the corresponding value of the polarized BRDF model by the action of scalar BRDF function and 4×4 Muller matrix M.
For opaque radiation target surfaces, where the radiation received by infrared polarized imaging typically includes radiation of the scene and reflection from other radiation sources, the total radiance of the target surface can be expressed as:
L tol =L e +L r =L B ·ε surf +∫f(θ iirr ,λ)·L(θ ii λ)cos(θ i )dΩ i (3)
wherein L is e For the self-radiation brightness of the target L r For reflecting the radiation brightness of the target surface, L B For blackbody radiation luminance corresponding to the spectral radiation luminance of the target, L (θ ii λ) is the incident radiance.
Since the incident radiation is thermal radiation at the same temperature as the surface, the total radiation is blackbody radiation at the same temperature, i.e
L B ·ε 0 =L B ·ε surf +∫f(θ iirr ,λ)×L B ·ε 0 cos(θ i )dΩ i (4)
Wherein ε is 0 E is the blackbody emissivity vector 0 =(1,0,0,0) T
The expression of the polarized radiation emissivity of the surface of the target material can be obtained by the expression (4):
Figure BDA0002526709240000071
from this, it can be seen that the Stokes vector S of the self-radiation of the target material surface e Can be expressed as: s is S e =ε surf ·I obj Wherein I obj Is the radiation intensity of the target. Then formula (1) can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002526709240000072
wherein S is 0 、S 1 、S 2 And S is 3 Representing Stokes parameters S 0 Image, S 1 Image, S 2 Image and S 3 An image. I bg Is the background radiation intensity.
The polarization degree calculation expression based on the infrared radiation polarization transmission model can be deduced from the expression (6) and the definition of the polarization degree, and is as follows:
Figure BDA0002526709240000073
from equation (7), it is known that the infrared polarization characteristic of the target material surface is closely related to the detection wavelength.
Please refer to fig. 1a and 1b, which are respectively an unbiased infrared radiation image of an infrared standard board in a middle wave band and a long wave band. Fig. 2a and 2b are images of infrared polarization information of an infrared standard plate in the medium-wave band and the long-wave band, respectively. As can be seen from the figure: the difference of the detailed information such as the edge of the infrared standard plate, the edge contour of the test supporting table and the like in the middle-wave and long-wave infrared polarization information images is obvious. Wherein the long-wave infrared polarization characteristics of the edge profile of the infrared standard plate in fig. 2b are clearer than those of the infrared standard plate in fig. 2a, and the medium-wave infrared polarization characteristics of the edge profile of the test support in fig. 2a are clearer than those of the long-wave infrared polarization characteristics in fig. 2 b.
In addition, in the infrared polarization imaging test process, as the resolution of infrared polarization information images in different wave bands can be different due to the fact that the fields of view of equipment are different, the infrared polarization information images acquired by infrared polarization imaging measuring devices which are different field of view detectors need to be registered. In view of the characteristic that the infrared polarization information image can highlight the edge contour feature of the target, if the calculated polarization information infrared polarization information image is directly subjected to difference matching, a polarization information error is introduced in the calculation process, so that the fused polarization image can not effectively reflect the infrared polarization feature of the target surface. To solve this problem, the infrared radiation images acquired by the different field-of-view detectors corresponding to the rotation direction of the polarizing wire grid need to be registered first. Therefore, the invention provides a registration method of polarized images of different fields of view based on radiation image registration, so as to improve the accuracy of target identification detection based on infrared polarized profile characteristics of a target surface.
Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of a method for registering polarized images of different fields of view according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in fig. 3, this embodiment provides a different field of view polarized image registration method comprising the steps of:
first, in step S1, an infrared radiation image registration step is performed to register infrared radiation images of different fields of view and different bands of wavelengths acquired in corresponding rotational polarization directions.
Preferably, the step S1 further comprises the following specific steps:
(1) Based on an infrared polarization imaging measurement device, acquiring an infrared radiation image I of a target scene with rotation polarization directions of 0 DEG, 45 DEG, 90 DEG and 135 DEG through a rotation polaroid 、I 45° 、I 90° 、I 135° . The invention can be provided with at least two infrared polarization imaging measuring devices, including an infrared polarization imaging measuring device for collecting long-wave infrared radiation images and an infrared polarization imaging measuring device for collecting medium-wave infrared radiation images. The fields of view of these infrared polarized imaging measurement devices may be different, forming different field of view detectors. The long wave refers to the wavelength of 8-12 mu m, and the medium wave refers to the wavelength of 3-5 mu m. Each infrared polarization imaging measuring device can acquire infrared radiation images I of target scenes with the rotation polarization directions of 0 DEG, 45 DEG, 90 DEG and 135 DEG through the rotation polaroid 、I 45° 、I 90° 、I 135°
(2) The image interpolation method is used for interpolating the infrared radiation image with low resolution, and the resolution of the infrared radiation image with low resolution is improved, so that the infrared radiation image with low resolution is identical with the resolution of the infrared radiation image with different fields of view corresponding to the rotation polarization directions. The image interpolation method includes, but is not limited to: nearest neighbor interpolation, bilinear interpolation, bicubic interpolation. Since the fields of view of the infrared polarized imaging measurement devices of different wavebands may be different, the resolution of the infrared radiation image obtained after selecting the target area may be different. In order to correct this field of view error in this step, the resolution of all acquired infrared radiation images is made the same by interpolation. (3) Extracting invariant features in the corresponding two long-wave infrared radiation images and the middle-wave infrared radiation image with the same rotation polarization direction by using a feature-based registration method, and completing registration of the long-wave infrared radiation image and the middle-wave infrared radiation image based on the invariant features. For example, a long-wave infrared radiation image and a medium-wave infrared radiation image with rotation polarization directions of 0 degrees are selected, and invariant features are extracted and registered by the feature-based registration method. These invariant features refer to features that remain unchanged with respect to rotation, scale, translation, illumination, etc. This step may be implemented by using specific algorithms well known and applicable to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail herein.
Subsequently, in step S2, a polarization information image registration step is performed, and infrared polarization information images of different wavelength bands are calculated based on the registered infrared radiation images and registered. In step S1, an infrared radiation image I of a target scene with 0 °, 45 °, 90 ° and 135 ° rotational polarization directions for different bands and different fields of view is completed 、I 45° 、I 90° 、I 135° After the corresponding registration, step S2 may be performed to perform the registration of the infrared polarization information image.
Preferably, the step S2 specifically includes the following steps:
(1) Calculating infrared polarization information images of different wave bands based on the registered infrared radiation images, wherein the infrared polarization information images of different wave bands comprise long-wave infrared polarization information images and medium-wave infrared polarization information images, and the method specifically comprises the following steps of:
a. calculating Stokes parametric images based on the registered infrared radiation images:
Figure BDA0002526709240000091
wherein I' 、I' 90° 、I' 45° And I' 135° Infrared radiation images with the rotation polarization directions of 0 DEG, 45 DEG, 90 DEG and 135 DEG after registration are respectively; s is S 0 、S 1 、S 2 And S is 3 Representing Stokes parameters S 0 Image, S 1 Image, S 2 Image and S 3 An image; i RCP And I LCP Respectively right-hand and left-hand circular polarization.
b. And calculating based on Stokes parameter images to obtain an infrared polarization information image of the surface of the measured object:
Figure BDA0002526709240000101
Figure BDA0002526709240000102
where p is the degree of polarization and α is the angle of polarization. The infrared polarization information image of the surface of the measured object can be obtained by calculation of Stokes parameter images through the formula, the range of the known polarization angle is [ -pi/2, pi/2 ], and the degree of polarization represents a dimensionless number from 0 to 1; the polarization angle α represents the angle of the polarization direction of the incident light with respect to the x-axis, and for some polarized light, the polarization direction with the greatest energy is the angle with respect to the x-axis.
(2) And extracting the edge linear characteristics of the targets in the long-wave infrared polarization information image and the medium-wave infrared polarization information image.
(3) And carrying out autocorrelation calculation based on the extracted edge linear features, confirming the two-dimensional offset of the infrared polarization information image of the current wave band according to the peak value occurrence position, and carrying out translation adjustment on the infrared polarization information image of the other wave band according to the two-dimensional offset so as to realize the registration of the infrared polarization information images of different wave bands. For example, the long-wave infrared polarization information image is subjected to translational modulation with the medium-wave infrared polarization information image as a reference, or the medium-wave infrared polarization information image is subjected to translational modulation with the long-wave infrared polarization information image as a reference.
Finally, in step S3, a target recognition step is performed, the registered infrared polarization information images in different wavebands are fused to obtain a fused image, and target recognition is performed based on the fused image. In this step, the long-wave infrared polarization information image and the medium-wave infrared polarization information image can be fused by using an image fusion method which is well known and can be applied by those skilled in the art. Please refer to fig. 4, which is a fused image processed by the registration method of polarized images of different fields of view according to the present invention. According to the image, the method can effectively keep the polarization detail characteristics such as the edge contour information of the target in the fusion image based on the radiation image registration mode, and is beneficial to the perception of scenes and the identification of the target.
