摘要:
本文针对红外辐射测量系统需要积分时间连续变化的需求,提出一种快速宽动态的非均匀性校正算法。该算法考虑了积分时间效应和光学系统杂散辐射的影响,并利用25 mm口径的制冷型中波红外辐射特性测量系统进行试验验证。将本文所提算法与经典算法进行对比,结果表明,校正效率较传统非均匀性校正算法提高了3.4倍。本文还利用剩余残差评价原始图像以及两种算法的图像校正效果,利用多个积分时间(0.6 ms,3 ms和3.5 ms)模拟连续变化的积分。结果显示本文算法在各个积分时间下剩余残差均表现稳定且校正图像都具有良好的校正效果。
Abstract:In this paper, a rapid and wide dynamic non-uniformity correction algorithm is proposed for the requirement of continuous change of integration time in infrared radiation measurement system. The algorithm considers the impact of integration time effect and stray radiation of the optical system. The experimental verification was conducted by employing cooled mid-wave infrared radiation characteristic measurement system with a 25 mm aperture. The correction efficiency of the classical algorithm and the proposed algorithm are compared. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm is 3.4 times more efficient than the traditional non-uniformity correction algorithm. On the above basis, we evaluate the effect of the two algorithms on the image correction using residual non-uniformity. Multiple integration times (0.6 ms, 3 ms and 3.5 ms) are used to simulate the continuous change of integration. The results indicate that the residual non-uniformity of the proposed algorithm is consistent and the image has been effectively corrected.
