It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a camera module according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the camera module according to the embodiment of the present invention includes an optical system 10, a planar lens group 13, and a sensor 14, which are sequentially disposed along a propagation direction of an incident light 100, where the optical system 10 includes at least one lens, the optical system 10 is used for correcting aberration, the planar lens group 13 includes at least one planar lens 131, the incident light 100 is transmitted by the optical system 10 to form a first corrected light 200, the first corrected light 200 is incident to the planar lens group 13 at a brewster angle and is transmitted by the planar lens group 13 to form a linearly polarized light 300, and the sensor 14 is located on a propagation path of the linearly polarized light 300.
The camera module provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to camera devices such as a mobile phone or an infrared camera, for example, the camera module is applied to a front infrared camera of the mobile phone, but is not limited thereto.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, when the camera module is applied to an infrared camera, and the infrared camera takes a pattern through the camera module, the formed picture may generate an aberration, for example: spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, field curvature and distortion. In the present embodiment, by disposing the optical train 10 on the propagation path of the incident light ray 100, the above-described aberration can be corrected, thereby contributing to improvement of the imaging quality.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, the optical train 10 includes four lenses, and the four lenses are all aspheric lenses, so that the aberration formed can be minimized to improve the imaging quality, but not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, a person skilled in the art can set the number of lenses and parameters of each lens in the optical train 10 according to actual requirements.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a planar lens assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the planar lens assembly 13 includes at least one planar lens 131, and a first corrected light ray 200 formed by transmitting an incident light ray 100 through the optical system 10 is incident on the planar lens assembly 13 at a brewster angle, where when natural light is reflected and refracted on a medium interface, the reflected light and the refracted light are both partially polarized light, and the reflected light is linearly polarized light only when an incident angle is a specific angle, and a vibration direction of the reflected light is perpendicular to the incident plane, where the specific angle is called the brewster angle, and this rule is called the brewster law. In the present embodiment, the first correcting light ray 200 transmitted through the planar lens 131 in the planar lens group 13 can be partially polarized light by setting the first correcting light ray 200 to be incident to the planar lens group 13 at the brewster angle, and the first correcting light ray 200 transmitted through the planar lens group 13 can be linearly polarized light 300 by setting the number of the planar lenses 131 in the planar lens group 13.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the sensor 14 includes a substrate 141 and a sensor pixel array 142 disposed on the substrate 141, the sensor 14 is disposed on a propagation path of the linearly polarized light 300 so that the linearly polarized light 300 is irradiated on the sensor pixel array 142, and the sensor pixel array 142 converts the linearly polarized light 300 into an electric signal.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the sensor 14 may be electrically connected to an external image processor through a connection 15 to transmit the electrical signal to the image processor, where the electrical signal is processed by the image processor to ultimately output a captured photograph.
It should be noted that different polarization states can be generated by different objects or different states of the same object, so as to form different polarization spectrums. The traditional infrared technology measures the intensity of radiation of an object, while polarization measures the contrast of the radiation of the object in different polarization directions, so that objects with the same radiation intensity and different polarizations can be distinguished by using polarized light.
In this embodiment, the incident light 100 is converted into the linearly polarized light 300 by the planar lens group 13, so that the light refracted to the sensor 14 is the linearly polarized light 300 with the polarization direction parallel to the propagation direction of the light, and the sensor 14 performs imaging by using the linearly polarized light 300, so that a relatively high precision can be achieved without accurate radiation calibration, thereby contributing to improving the imaging quality.
It should be noted that the number of the planar lenses 131 in the planar lens group 13 may be set according to practical requirements, as shown in fig. 2, the planar lens group 13 may include only one planar lens 131, as shown in fig. 3, and the planar lens group 13 may also include a plurality of planar lenses 131 (e.g., 6), which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
It can be understood that when the first corrective light ray 200 is incident to the planar lens 131 at the brewster angle, the refracted light is partially polarized light, and therefore, when the number of planar lenses 131 in the planar lens group 13 is sufficiently large, the finally refracted light can be approximately considered as linearly polarized light whose polarization direction is the propagation direction of the parallel light. That is, the greater the number of the planar lenses 131, the stronger the linear polarization characteristic of the linearly polarized light beam 300, but the smaller the number of the planar lenses 131, the more the miniaturization of the camera module is facilitated, and those skilled in the art can set the number of the planar lenses 131 in the planar lens group 13 according to actual needs.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an optical path of a first correcting light ray at a planar lens interface according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and optionally, an incident angle of the first correcting light ray 200 at the planar lens group 13 isθ 1 ，θ 1 =arctan(n 2 /n 1 ) Wherein n is 1 Is the refractive index of air, n 2 Is the refractive index of the planar lens.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the first correcting light ray 200 is incident at brewster's angle, i.e. the incident angle θ of the first correcting light ray 200 on the planar lens group 13 1 At Brewster's angle, the reflected light and the refracted light are perpendicular to each other. As shown in fig. 4, θ 1 Is the angle of incidence, θ 4 Refractive angle, refractive index of air n 1 Refractive index of the planar lens is n 2 From the law of refraction, one can obtain:
n 1 sin(θ 1 )=n 2 sin(θ 4 )；
when a light ray is incident at Brewster's angle, the reflected light is perpendicular to the refracted light, then:
n 1 sin(θ 1 )=n 2 sin(90°-θ 1 )=n 2 cos(θ 1 )；
further obtaining:
θ 1 =arctan(n 2 /n 1 )。
therefore, in the present embodiment, the incident angle θ of the first correcting light ray 200 on the plane lens group 13 is set 1 Satisfies theta 1 =arctan(n 2 /n 1 ) So that the first corrected light ray 200 is incident on the planar lens group 13 at the brewster angle.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of another camera module according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a front view of a camera module according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a top view of a camera module according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5-7, optionally, the planar lens group 13 includes a plurality of planar lenses 131 arranged in parallel, and a plane of each of the planar lenses 131 is perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the optical system 10.
As described above, the larger the number of the planar lenses 131 is, the stronger the linear polarization characteristic of the linearly polarized light beam 300 is, and therefore, the arrangement of the plurality of planar lenses 131 in the planar lens group 13 is helpful to improve the linear polarization characteristic of the linearly polarized light beam 300, and is further helpful to improve the imaging quality.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, by arranging a plurality of planar lenses 131 in parallel and overlapping, the incident angle of the first correcting light ray 200 on each planar lens 131 can be the same, that is, the incident angle of the first correcting light ray 200 on each planar lens 131 is brewster's angle, which helps to realize the conversion of the first correcting light ray 200 into the linearly polarized light ray 300; meanwhile, the occupied space of the planar lens group 13 can be reduced, and the miniaturization arrangement can be realized.
Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 5 to 7, each component in the camera module can be fixed in a lens barrel (not shown in the figures), and the plane where the planar lens 131 in the planar lens group 13 is located is perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the optical system 10, which is beneficial to accurately assembling the planar lens group 13, reduces the process difficulty, and is easy to implement.
With continuing reference to fig. 5 to 7, optionally, the camera module according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes an optical path adjusting unit 16, where the optical path adjusting unit 16 is located on the propagation path of the first calibration light 200. The optical path adjusting unit 16 includes a first reflective surface 21 and a second reflective surface 22, and the first calibration light beam 200 is emitted by the first reflective surface 21 and the second reflective surface 22 in sequence and then enters the planar lens group 13 at the brewster angle.
As shown in fig. 5-7, the light path adjusting unit 16 is disposed on the propagation path of the first correcting light ray 200 to change the propagation direction of the first correcting light ray 200, so that the first correcting light ray 200 is incident on the planar lens group 13 at the brewster angle.
Specifically, the optical path adjusting unit 16 includes a first reflective surface 21 and a second reflective surface 22, and the first calibration light beam 200 is reflected twice by the first reflective surface 21 and the second reflective surface 22 and then enters the planar lens group 13 at the brewster angle, so that the planar lens group 13 is horizontally disposed and the linearly polarized light beam 300 is converted.
With continued reference to fig. 5 to 7, optionally, the optical path adjusting unit 16 includes a quadrangular prism 161 and an equilateral right triangular prism 162, the first reflecting surface 21 being located on the quadrangular prism 161, and the second reflecting surface 22 being located on the equilateral right triangular prism 162. The four prisms 161 further include a first incident surface 23 and a first exit surface 24 adjacent to the first reflection surface 21, respectively. The equilateral right triangular prism 162 includes a second entrance face 25 and a second exit face 26 adjacent 22, respectively, to the second reflective face. The first correction light ray 200 sequentially enters through the first incident surface 23 of the four-prism 161, is reflected by the first reflecting surface 21 and exits through the first exiting surface 24 to reach the second incident surface 25 of the equilateral right-angled triple prism 162; and is incident on the planar lens group 13 at the brewster angle after being incident on the second incident surface 25 of the equilateral right triangular prism 162, reflected by the second reflecting surface 22, and emitted from the second emitting surface 26. The first incident surface 23 is perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the optical system 10, the first reflecting surface 21 intersects with the first incident surface 23, and the first emitting surface 24 is perpendicular to the propagation direction of the first calibration light 200 reflected by the first reflecting surface 21; the second incident surface 25 is perpendicular to the propagation direction of the first calibration light beam 200 emitted through the first emitting surface 24, the second reflecting surface 22 is parallel to the optical axis direction of the optical system 10, and the second emitting surface 26 is perpendicular to the first calibration light beam 200 reflected by the second reflecting surface 22.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5-7, the first incident surface 23 of the four prisms 161 is perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the optical system 10, and the propagation direction of the first calibration light beam 200 after entering through the first incident surface 23 does not change. The first reflecting surface 21 intersects the first incident surface 23, so that the first correction light ray 200 changes its traveling direction after being reflected by the first reflecting surface 21 to travel toward the equilateral right triangular prism 162. The first exit surface 24 is perpendicular to the propagation direction of the first calibration light beam 200 reflected by the first reflection surface 21, so that the propagation direction of the first calibration light beam 200 does not change after exiting through the first exit surface 24.
Further, with continued reference to fig. 5-7, the second incident surface 25 of the equilateral right triangular prism 162 is perpendicular to the propagation direction of the first calibration light ray 200 emitted through the first emission surface 24, and the propagation direction of the first calibration light ray 200 incident through the second incident surface 25 does not change. The second reflecting surface 22 is parallel to the optical axis direction of the optical system 10, so that the first calibration light 200 changes the propagation direction after being reflected by the second reflecting surface 22 to propagate to the planar lens group 13, and meanwhile, the precise assembly of the equal-side right-angled triangular prism 162 is facilitated, the process difficulty is reduced, and the implementation is easy. The second exit surface 26 is perpendicular to the first calibration light beam 200 reflected by the second reflection surface 22, so that the propagation direction of the first calibration light beam 200 after exiting through the second exit surface 26 is not changed.
As can be seen from the above, the first correcting light ray 200 is reflected by the first reflecting surface 21 and the second reflecting surface 22, and then enters the planar lens group 13 at the brewster angle, so that the setting angle of the first reflecting surface 21 and the second reflecting surface 22 can be determined according to the brewster angle.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5 to 7, taking the brewster angle as an example of 45 °, the incident light ray 100 vertically enters after passing through the optical train 10 to form a first corrected light ray 200, and after passing through the first incident surface 23 where the quadrangular prism 161 is horizontally disposed, the first corrected light ray 200 is reflected by the first reflecting surface 21 to form a light ray having an angle of 45 ° with the optical axis direction (vertical direction) of the optical train 10, and then perpendicularly hits the second incident surface 25 (one right-angled side of the equilateral right-angled triangular prism 162) of the equilateral right-angled triangular prism 162. The vertically cathetized first corrective light ray 200 is reflected by second reflective surface 22 (the hypotenuse) of equilateral right triangular prism 162 and emerges vertically from second exit surface 26 (the other cathetized side of equilateral right triangular prism 162).
Further, since the planar lens group 13 is horizontally disposed, the first corrected light ray 200 emitted from the second emission surface 26 is incident on the planar lens group 13 at 45 ° (i.e., brewster angle), thereby realizing the conversion of linearly polarized light rays.
Note that by changing the refractive index and the thickness of the planar lens 131 in the planar lens group 13, the brewster angle of the planar lens group 13 can be made 45 °.
With continued reference to fig. 6, angle HKM =45 °, so angle HKP =180 ° -, HKM =180 ° -45 ° =135 °, so the incident angle and the reflection angle of the first correction light ray 200 at the first reflection surface 21 can be found to be:
135°/2=67.5°；
with continued reference to fig. 6, the dotted line at point K is the normal to the first reflecting surface 21, so ≈ PKF =90 ° -67.5 ° =22.5 °, thereby obtaining the setting angle of the first reflecting surface 21.
Further, with continued reference to fig. 6, the field of view required by equilateral right triangular prism 162 is determined by the size of the pixel area in sensor 14, and the maximum field of view obtained by equilateral right triangular prism 162 is edge AB, which therefore also determines the size of edge EG of quadrangular prism 161, i.e. the length of edge AB of quadrangular prism 161 may be equal to the length of edge EG, i.e. the area of first exit face 24 of equilateral right triangular prism 162 may be set according to second reflection face 22 of equilateral right triangular prism 162.
Meanwhile, the edge DF is in the horizontal direction, the edge DE may be in the vertical direction, and since ═ PKF =22.5 °, the four edges EG, DE, DF, and GF may form the rectangular prism 161.
As shown in fig. 6, the edge DE is a vertical direction, which helps to reduce the volume of the rectangular prism 161, thereby facilitating a compact design, but is not limited thereto.
With continued reference to FIG. 6, optionally, the index of refraction of the four prisms 161 is n 3 ，n 3 ≥1/sinθ 2 (ii) a Wherein, theta 2 Is the incident angle of the first correcting ray 200 on the first reflecting surface 21.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, according to the refractive index formula:
n 3 sin(θ 2 )=n 1 sin(θ 5 )；
wherein n is 3 Is the refractive index, θ, of the quadrangular prism 161 2 Is the incident angle, n, of the first correcting ray 200 on the first reflecting surface 21 1 Is the refractive index of air, which is 1, theta 5 Is the refraction angle of the first corrected light ray 200 at the first reflecting surface 21. When the first correction light ray 200 is totally reflected on the first reflection surface 21, the refraction angle theta 5 =90 °, sin (θ) 5 ) =1, can calculate refractive index n 3 The lowest value of (c):
n 3 =1/sin(θ 2 )=1/sin(67.5°)≈1.08239。
therefore, in the present embodiment, the refractive index n by setting the quadrangular prism 161 3 ≥1/sinθ 2 I.e. the refractive index n of the quadrangular prism 161 3 Greater than or equal to 1.08239, the first correcting light beam 200 can be totally reflected on the first reflecting surface 21.
Since the plane mirror reflection may lose a part of the energy, compared to the case where the first reflection surface 21 is configured as a plane mirror, the present embodiment can minimize the loss of light by changing the optical path of the first correction light beam 200 based on the total reflection principle of the four prisms 161.
With continued reference to FIG. 6, the equilateral right triangular prism 162 optionally has an index of refraction n 4 ，n 4 ≥1/sinθ 3 (ii) a Wherein, theta 3 Is the angle of incidence of the first correcting ray 200 on the second reflecting surface 22.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, according to the refractive index formula:
n 4 sin(θ 3 )=n 1 sin(θ 6 )；
wherein n is 4 Is the refractive index, theta, of the equilateral right triangular prism 162 3 Is the incident angle, n, of the first correcting ray 200 on the second reflecting surface 22 1 Is the refractive index of air, which is 1, theta 6 Is the angle of refraction of the first corrective ray 200 at the second reflective surface 22. When the first correction light ray 200 is totally reflected on the second reflecting surface 22, the refraction angle theta 6 =90 °, sin (θ) 6 ) =1, can calculate refractive index n 4 The lowest value of (c):
n 4 =1/sin(θ 3 )=1/sin(45°)≈1.41421。
therefore, in the present embodiment, the refractive index n by providing the equilateral right-angled triangular prism 162 4 ≥1/sin(θ 3 ) I.e. refractive index n of equilateral right triangular prism 162 4 Greater than or equal to 1.41421, the first calibration beam 200 is totally reflected by the second reflecting surface 22.
Since the plane mirror reflection may lose a part of energy, compared to the case where the second reflective surface 22 is configured as a plane mirror, the present embodiment can minimize the loss of light by changing the optical path of the first calibration light 200 according to the total reflection principle of the equilateral right-angled triple prism 162.
It should be noted that the optical path adjusting unit 16 is not limited to the arrangement of the four prisms 161 and the equilateral right triangular prism 162, and in other embodiments, the optical path adjusting unit 16 may also include two plane mirrors, and the two plane mirrors are respectively used as the first reflecting surface 21 and the second reflecting surface 22 to achieve the adjustment of the optical path, and those skilled in the art can set the optical path according to actual requirements.
Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of an optical path of another first corrective ray at an interface of the planar lens according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8, optionally, the thickness of the planar lens 131 is d, d = (λ k)/((4 n) = 2 2 -2) 1/2 ) (ii) a Wherein λ is the wavelength of incident light, k is a positive integer, n 2 Is the refractive index of the planar lens 131.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the optical paths from the point R to the point T and from the point S to the point T are equal, so that the optical path difference between the two reflected lights of the first correcting light ray 200 on the plane lens 131 is the straight line OS and the polygonal line OQR.
As shown in fig. 8, OS = OR sini =2 d tan r sini;
OQ=QR=d/cosr；
therefore, the optical path difference δ = n 2 *（OQ+QR）-n 1 *OS=（n 2 *2*d）/cosr-n 1 *2*d*tanr*sini=2*d*（n 2 -n 1 *sini*sinr）/cosr；
From the refractive index formula:
Sini=n 2* sinr/n 1 ；
obtaining by solution:
δ=2*d*n 2 *cosr=2*d*(n 2 2 -n 1 2 *sin 2 i) 1/2 ；
in this embodiment, n 1 Is a refractive index of air, therefore, n 1 And =1. Further, there is half-wave loss in the reflection process of the first correction light ray 200 from the optically thinner medium (air) to the optically denser medium (planar lens), and in order to make the two reflected light beams reflected by the planar lens 131 cancel interference and increase the transmittance, the calculation formula can be obtained:
δ=2*d*(n 2 2 -n 1 2 *sin 2 i) 1/2 k =0, 1, 2, 3 … … is an integer;
the formula can be obtained through calculation:
d=(λk)/((4n 2 2 -2) 1/2 )。
exemplary embodiments of the inventionBy setting d = (0.93k)/((4 n), for example, where the wavelength λ =0.93 μm of incident light is set 2 2 -2) 1/2 ) The optical path difference of the two reflected lights of the first correction light 200 on the planar lens 131 is used to perform interference cancellation on the two reflected lights, so that the light intensity of the transmitted light can be increased, the energy of the 930nm refracted light can be enhanced, the anti-reflection effect on the 930nm light is achieved, and the effect of filtering light with wavelengths outside 930nm is achieved.
Alternatively, the incident light is infrared light, and the material of the planar lens 131 includes any one of fused quartz, crown glass, dense crown glass, barium crown glass, flint glass, barium flint glass, and dense flint glass.
Specifically, the incident light is infrared light, and the infrared imaging and infrared detection functions can be realized.
The wavelength of the infrared light may be set according to actual requirements, for example, the wavelength is 930nm, but is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may set the wavelength according to actual requirements.
Furthermore, fused quartz (SiO 2), crown glass (K6, K8, K9), dense crown glass (ZK 6, ZK 8), barium crown glass (BaK 2), flint glass (F1), barium flint glass (BaF 8), and dense flint glass (ZF 5, ZF 6) have good transmittance to infrared light (e.g., light having a wavelength of 930 nm), and therefore, the above-described materials can be used as the material of the planar lens 131.
In addition, the above formula of geometric optics is more applicable when the thickness d of the planar lens 131 is two orders of magnitude or more greater than the wavelength of the incident light, and thus d is greater than or equal to 93 μm when the incident light is 930nm wavelength infrared light.
Further, the appropriate thickness d and material of the planar lens 131 may be computationally determined by taking different values for k.
Illustratively, a program is written below using python to calculate how many microns the thickness value of d is when k takes on different values. The thickness of the planar lens is required to be as small as possible, so that the number of the planar lenses can be increased as much as possible in a limited space.
The python program is as follows:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
n = refractive index
k=np.linspace(200,300,101,dtype=int)
print(k)
a=np.sqrt(4*n*n-2)
d=0.93*k/a
print(d)
By bringing in refractive indices of different materials one can get:
1. when the planar lens material is SiO2, the refractive index n =1.45843, d =109um can be calculated by a program;
2. when the plane lens material is K6, the refractive index n =1.5111, and d =125um can be calculated by a program;
3. when the planar lens material is K8, the refractive index n =1.5159, d =129um can be calculated by a program;
4. when the planar lens material is K9, the refractive index n =1.5163, d =104um can be calculated by a program;
5. when the planar lens material is ZK6, the refractive index n =1.61263, d =94um can be calculated by a program;
6. when the planar lens material is ZK8, the refractive index n =1.614, d =108um can be calculated using a program;
7. when the planar lens material is BaK2, the refractive index n =1.53988, d =155um can be calculated by a program;
8. when the planar lens material is F1, the refractive index n =1.60328, d =95um can be calculated by a program;
9. when the planar lens material is BaF8, the refractive index n =1.6259, d =121um can be calculated by a program;
10. when the planar lens material is ZF5, the refractive index n =1.73977, d =129um can be calculated by a program;
11. when the planar lens material is ZF6, the refractive index n =1.75496, d =99um can be calculated using a program.
The minimum thickness values of the planar lens are calculated by substituting the refractive indexes into ZK6 and F1 materials, so that the planar lens adopts ZK6 and F1 materials, the thickness value of the planar lens can be ensured to be as small as possible, and the number of the planar lenses can be increased in a limited space as much as possible.
It can be understood that, when the number of the planar lenses is large enough, the light finally refracted by the planar lenses can be approximately considered as linearly polarized light, and the polarization direction of the light is the propagation direction of the parallel light.
It should be noted that, nowadays, the accuracy and sensitivity of infrared detection are higher and higher, the temperature difference of the detectable target is smaller and smaller, but the probability of target discovery and identification is still not very high due to the limitation of clutter background signal. By using the camouflage technology, a noise source with the same temperature is placed around a target object, so that the existing thermal infrared imager cannot identify the target object.
In the invention, an infrared polarization imaging technology is adopted, which has the following advantages:
(1) infrared polarization measurements can be made with considerable accuracy without the need for accurate radiometric calibration, since the degree of polarization is a ratio of the radiometric values.
(2) The infrared polarization degree of the ground object background in the natural environment is very small (< 1.5%), while the infrared polarization degree of the metal material target is relatively large and reaches 2% -7%, so that the difference between the polarization degree of a vehicle taking the metal material as a main body and the polarization degree of the ground object background is also large. The difference of the polarization values of the two objects reaches 1%, and the difference between the two objects can be well distinguished by adopting an infrared polarization imaging technology. There are significant advantages to using infrared polarization imaging techniques to identify vehicle targets in the background of the surface feature.
(3) Camouflage paint is often used in military applications to camouflage targets, and the emissivity of metal panels painted with infrared camouflage paint can change. The thermal infrared camouflage paint with lower radiance can enable the target to have lower gray value in an infrared radiation intensity image, compared with the common material, the camouflage paint can effectively weaken the infrared characteristic of the target, and the purpose of camouflage the target in an infrared band is achieved. However, the polarization degree of the target plate after camouflage is not greatly changed along with the change of the emissivity, and the influence of the camouflage method for changing the emissivity of the metal plate on the half polarization degree is smaller. The object that has been camouflaged in the polarized image loses the camouflaging effect and is easily found.
In summary, the existing infrared camera adopts a light intensity imaging technology, which is greatly influenced by environmental factors, and under a severe environment, due to too weak light intensity, imaging is difficult to achieve. The polarization imaging technology adopted by the invention can carry out image acquisition operation in a severe environment, and has absolute advantages in the aspects of inhibiting background noise, improving shooting distance, acquiring detailed characteristics, identifying target camouflage and the like.
