Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of computer vision technology and image processing, and particularly relates to a day and night dual-purpose atmospheric turbulence parameter estimation method based on optical flow calculation.
Background
As the earth atmosphere is heated and cooled day and night, the refractive index of the atmosphere can be randomly changed, so that the earth atmosphere can move irregularly. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as atmospheric turbulence. The atmospheric turbulence is a basic parameter closely related to the design and application of a photoelectric engineering system. While it has a significant impact on long-range imaging and laser transmission in the atmosphere. At present, atmospheric optical turbulence parameter measurement is an important means for analyzing the change rule of atmospheric turbulence. But due to the structural constant of the refractive index of the atmosphere

And length of coherence of atmospherer 0 And the like do not belong to the conventional observation parameters, and the currently common measurement methods comprise measuring the whole-layer and single-layer atmospheric turbulence parameters by using a turbulence sonde, an atmospheric coherence length meter and the like. It is certain that these methods are limited by various conditions such as manpower, material resources, financial resources, etc., and the observation results are disturbed by various regions and environmental factors. Therefore, in recent years, inversion of atmospheric turbulence parameters by directly capturing an image of a target using an optical telescope system has become a new research method. Such as the literature (S.R. Bose-Pilai, J.E.McCrae, et al.estimation of atmospheric structural using differential motion of extended defects in time-lag image [ J.]. opt.Eng57(10),104108 (2018)). The method has the advantages that the method can acquire the target image by depending on a common optical telescope system without an excessively complicated hardware acquisition system and simultaneously does not need to be provided withAnd a target light source is arranged, and a target image can be shot by depending on natural light. However, how to perform effective image inversion on the acquired target image becomes the core of the method for achieving better effect.

The invention mainly adopts a Lucas-Kanada optical flow calculation method to estimate the atmospheric turbulence parameter, but the Lucas-Kanada optical flow algorithm has two constraints of (I) and (II) and simultaneously requires the region consistency of two frames of images, which is not easy to meet under the common condition. Therefore, the tracking accuracy of the Lucas-Kanada algorithm is improved by adding an image pyramid.

Specifically, the image frame at the time of T1 is used as a reference frame, and the optical flow of the feature points corresponding to the feature points of the image frame at the time of T2 is calculated by combining the pyramid.
The conditions for optical flow calculation mainly include: (I) the brightness is constant; (II) the temporal continuity or movement is "small movement". The partial constraint expression is:
I(x,y,t)=I(x+dx,y+dy,t+dt) (1)
that is, for a certain pixel point (x, y, t) in the image, the light intensity in the first frame isI(x, y, t), t represents the time dimension. It moves(dx, dy)To the next frame, using dtTime. The light intensity of the pixel before and after the motion is constant, as the previous assumption is fulfilled. Taylor expansion is performed on the right end of the formula (1), and the following can be obtained:

A day and night dual-purpose atmospheric turbulence parameter estimation method based on optical flow calculation is provided, and simple and practical atmospheric turbulence parameter estimation system software is designed for facilitating the use of subsequent external field experiments. The atmospheric turbulence parameter estimation system software is written by PyQt, and two interfaces for calculating atmospheric turbulence parameters in a daytime mode and a nighttime mode are set according to the time for shooting a target image. The system parameters of the daytime mode are set to be 5, and the parameters are pixel (um), focal length (m), wavelength (nm), aperture (m) and observation distance (m); the night mode telescope system is characterized in that 4 system parameters are set, wherein the parameters are pixel (um), focal length (m), wavelength (nm), aperture (m), and the parameters of the day mode telescope system and the night mode telescope system are set as shown in the following tables 1 and 2. The atmospheric turbulence parameter estimation system software can realize the query of meteorological conditions, and the weather conditions of the current day and the next days of the observation place can be checked through manually inputting the place name of the observation place (accurate to a district-level administrative unit). Determining the position of a shooting place, and inquiring weather conditions of the area on the same day and four days in the future by using atmospheric turbulence parameter estimation system software to determine whether the requirements of shooting conditions are met; according to the shooting target and the shooting time, the method supports the estimation of a daytime single-layer atmospheric turbulence parameter and a nighttime whole-layer atmospheric turbulence parameter; a telescope system is used to capture images of a fixed target. And then opening atmospheric turbulence parameter estimation system software to set parameters of an observation system, selecting a folder directory of observation image data needing to be calculated and storing the position of a calculation result, and then starting to operate the atmospheric turbulence parameter estimation system software. The resolution of the shooting target image is as follows: 4944x3284, the exposure time for daytime shooting is less than 10ms, and the exposure time for night time shooting is less than 30 ms.

Figure 70294DEST_PATH_IMAGE044
As shown in FIG. 3, the method for estimating day and night atmospheric turbulence parameters based on optical flow calculation according to the present invention is implemented by the following steps:
step 1, firstly, acquiring the serial number of the current image frame. The image frames mainly refer to serial numbers of continuous target images shot through a telescope system, the target images are disturbed by real atmospheric turbulence, the images are distorted, and the image distortion problem caused by the atmospheric turbulence is related to a theoretical model of fluctuation and variance of the arrival angle of the light wave.
And 2, when the image is not the last frame image, calculating the optical flow values of the current frame image and the next frame image. According to the formula, the jitter information of the image disturbed by the atmosphere can be fully captured by calculating the optical flows of the images of the front frame and the back frame. Since a plurality of target images are continuously captured at a certain time, optical flow values of a plurality of adjacent two-frame images are obtained. At this point, it is necessary to add a decision that the selected image is not the last image, since the last image cannot calculate the optical flow value with the next image.
And 3, calculating the corresponding fluctuation variance of the arrival angle through the calculated light flow value. In the last step, a plurality of optical flow values of the image at the same time can be obtained, and a plurality of arrival angle fluctuation values can be obtained by substituting the plurality of optical flow values into the formula (6).
And 4, since the fluctuation value of the arrival angle calculated by the Lucas-Kanada (L-K) pyramid optical flow algorithm inevitably has an outlier value which is beyond a normal range, the accuracy of the estimation of the atmospheric turbulence parameter is greatly influenced. Therefore, a reasonable arrival angle fluctuation value is screened by using an MAD mechanism. And then, respectively substituting the obtained reasonable arrival angle fluctuation values into a formula (7) and a formula (8) to obtain corresponding arrival angle fluctuation mean values and arrival angle fluctuation variance values.
The MAD mechanism is realized by the following steps: calculating median of all arrival angle fluctuation estimated values

(ii) a Determining the parameter m when

Figure 681404DEST_PATH_IMAGE054
And 5, respectively substituting the arrival angle fluctuation variance values obtained by the formula (8) into a formula (9) and a formula (11) to respectively obtain an atmospheric refractive index structural constant value and an atmospheric coherence length value corresponding to the arrival angle fluctuation variance, and simultaneously substituting the obtained atmospheric coherence length value into a formula (12) to obtain a corresponding seeing value when estimating the night mode. During daytime mode estimation, the vision acuity value does not need to be calculated, and during nighttime mode estimation, the atmospheric refractive index structural constant value does not need to be calculated.
And 6, when the image is judged to be the last frame of image, respectively calculating the average values of all the refractive index structure constants, the atmospheric coherence length and the seeing degree which are calculated before, and using the average values as the atmospheric turbulence parameter estimation values calculated by the algorithm at the current moment. By the continuous execution of the algorithm, the trend curves of the different atmospheric turbulence parameters can be plotted for all observation periods.
In order to prove the accuracy of the estimation method provided by the invention on the estimation of the atmospheric turbulence parameter. The temperature pulsation instrument equipped in a laboratory is used for comparing with the atmospheric refractive index structural constant estimated in the daytime by using the estimation method of the invention. In the experiment process, firstly, clear and cloudless weather is selected for carrying out the experiment, a telescope system (the optical parameter configuration condition of the telescope system is shown in table 1) shown in fig. 2 is used for horizontally shooting a target spot building inside and outside a public place by using an indoor window positioned on a 5-th floor (about 16 meters away from the ground), a temperature pulsator is placed on an outdoor roof which is positioned on a horizontal measurement path and is about 100m away from the telescope system, and data such as wind direction, temperature, atmospheric pressure temperature, relative humidity and the like on the path are collected in real time, and the temperature pulsator can calculate the atmospheric refractive index structural constant in real time by using the meteorological parameters
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE055
. At the moment, the telescope system synchronously acquires the image of the target point of one kilometer, but the telescope system acquires the image of the target point once every 3 minutes, and the image of the target point is acquired every timeThe set time is about 30 seconds, and a temperature pulsator used in a laboratory measures a group of data every 5 seconds, so that the time resolution of data acquired by the temperature pulsator is obviously higher than that of a telescope system in the experimental process, and in order to ensure that the time resolution of two types of data in later comparative analysis is the same, only the data at the same sampling time as that of the telescope system is reserved for the time sequence acquired by the temperature pulsator, namely, the time resolution of the two methods is 3 minutes. The observation experiment was performed approximately 8 a.m. to 6 a.m. each day. The specific results are shown in fig. 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e and 4f, the gray box curves represent the measured values of the daily temperature pulsator, and the black circle curves represent the estimated values of the proposed algorithm; in the daytime experiment process of 3 and 5 days in 2022, 3 and 6 days in 2022, 3 and 7 days in 2022, 3 and 8 days in 2022, 3 and 27 days in 2022, and 28 days in 2022, 3 and 28 days in 2022, the estimated value of the algorithm of the invention is compared with the daily variation trend of the atmospheric refractive index structural constant value (logarithmic value) actually measured by the temperature pulsator, so that the estimated value of the algorithm of the invention is very close to the actual measured value of the instrument, and the variation trend is consistent, wherein the horizontal coordinate in the graph represents the time of shooting the target image every day.
For night experiments, a telescope system is positioned on the roof of a 4 th building of an experimental building, a space target shot at night is a moon, after the moon target is found through the telescope system, an automatic tracking system of an instrument is arranged, continuous multiframe turbulence degraded moon images can be shot, corresponding observation parameters are arranged by using a night mode of writing software, a plurality of night atmospheric turbulence parameters can be calculated, and the night shooting time is generally about 23 o 'clock after 20 o' clock in night. The partial night turbulence parameter estimation results are shown in the graph in the software of fig. 5. Since the measured value cannot be obtained by the instrument for comparison with the algorithm estimated value temporarily in the night mode, fig. 5a and 5b only show the variation of two atmospheric turbulence parameter curves estimated by the algorithm, where fig. 5a is an estimated atmospheric coherence length graph and fig. 5b is an estimated atmospheric seeing graph.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the details of the invention not described in detail herein are well within the skill of those in the art.
