Description

Spectral imaging method based on double microlens array segmentation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of spectral imaging, in particular to a spectral imaging method based on double-microlens array segmentation.
Background
The spectrometer is an important measuring instrument, can decompose compound light, can directly acquire substance information through researching and analyzing spectrum information formed by the compound light, the spectrum imaging technology type can be divided into a swinging scanning type, a pushing scanning type and a snapshot type according to a scanning mode for acquiring a three-dimensional data cube, and the snapshot type imaging spectrometer becomes a hot spot direction of spectrometer research due to the advantages of strict structure, simple principle, low cost and the like.
The related scholars have proposed a prism mask spectrum optical system, which is composed of a triangular prism, a monochromatic camera and a mask, wherein incident light rays from a scene are sampled by the mask, a two-dimensional image is discretized to separate a space for chromatic dispersion, and the sparse light rays are dispersed through the triangular prism to form a spectrum and then captured by the monochromatic camera. The system utilizes the mask to replace a slit, controls the imaging of a spectrum on the CCD, improves the spatial resolution, reduces the spectrum distortion, has an integral structure which is composed of only a few low-cost optical devices and is easy to build and calibrate, however, the system is too heavy, and the mask is used for isolating most of light, so that the energy transmittance of the system is low, clear spectrum images are difficult to acquire in time, and the spectrum information is extremely easy to lose.
In order to solve the problem of light miniaturization of a mask type spectrometer, aiming at an optical information capturing part, a learner places an objective lens in front of a mask and performs simplified design of the number of lenses, a traditional prism is replaced by a grating, linear dispersion is realized, the structure is further compact, meanwhile, an incident scene is divided into two paths of space dimension and spectrum dimension through the spectroscope to be respectively collected, a space dimension light path image is obtained by utilizing an RGB camera, a high spatial resolution image is obtained, and then information fusion is performed on the high spatial resolution light path image, so that the acquisition of a spectrum high-dynamic video signal is realized. The system realizes the simplification of the snapshot spectrometer, improves the spatial resolution of the spectrum image, but still has the problem of low energy transmittance.
Meanwhile, a learner designs a large-view-field high-resolution imaging spectrometer, improves an objective lens on the basis of the existing snapshot imaging spectrometer, designs a large-view-field space telecentric lens to capture a scene image, widens the view angle to 48.8 degrees, and improves the incident light intensity of the whole system. The system utilizes micron-scale mask sampling, generates a spectrum image with high spectrum resolution by combining dispersive light rays through a prism-grating, and reduces the aperture of the mask, while improving the spectrum resolution, the energy transmittance is also seriously affected, and the system only calibrates the light rays at the central position, so that the spectrum curve is bent.
In summary, the problems in the spectral imaging method of the prior art are as follows:
1. the scene image obtained by using the mask sampling causes the energy transmittance of the optical system to be extremely low, and influences the imaging and the obtaining of the spectrum image;
2. the image is segmented and calibrated by only using the mask aperture imaging and single microlens collimation combination, so that the emergent ray direction of the peripheral position unit microlenses is different from that of the central position unit microlenses, and the spectrum curve is bent;
3. secondary overlapping and ghost phenomena are easily generated by utilizing grating dispersion light.
