Description

High-precision infrared image tracker and target rapid tracking method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a target tracker and a target tracking and identifying method, in particular to a high-precision infrared image tracker for a guided weapon system to accurately strike a target and a tracking method for coarsely aiming the accurately strike target by using the tracker.
Background
In a weapon system that accurately strikes a target, noise is caused by environmental influences, such as wind blowing, interference of leaves of a bird, and shaking of a photoelectric imaging system, and is recognized as a target in a general detection method. These false targets, which act as disturbances, can affect the tracking accuracy, resulting in inaccurate targeting.
Early trackers were simple in algorithm, and often required algorithmic selection to fit the tracked target according to a priori knowledge of the target before performing the task. Meanwhile, due to the limited hardware resources, the tracker is difficult to complete the processing of a large target surface and multi-target tracking in real time. In addition, the adopted strategy is simple, the hardware platform efficiency is not high enough, and the stable tracking of the target under the complex state change is still difficult to complete.
The prior art generally adopts a gray-scale correlation matching tracking technology, which has the advantages of easy hardware realization and excellent noise resistance, thereby being widely applied. However, in the conventional gray-scale correlation matching tracking, accumulated errors often occur, and the template is usually replaced at an appropriate time to effectively overcome the accumulated errors. When the template is updated, the simple weighted combination of the old template and the new template is generally adopted, the target template is easily damaged by background clutter (such as target shielding) because the background and the hit target are not distinguished, and the conventional template matching and tracking technology lacks the perception capability of target deformation under the clutter background, so that the target is easily drifted out of the template for matching and tracking, and finally the target tracking fails.
In addition, in the gray scale correlation matching tracking technology, the matching speed when hitting the target is a key factor, which affects the tracking target accuracy of the tracking system, and further affects the hitting target accuracy. However, the main factor influencing the matching speed is the number of times of calculating the correlation (i.e. the similarity between the template and the real-time image during matching), and at present, a layering strategy and an improved search strategy are often adopted to improve the matching speed, but the existing algorithms still cannot meet the requirements of the system on precision, real-time performance and low cost at the same time.

Detailed Description
The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be further described with reference to the following examples.
As shown in fig. 1, a high-precision infrared image tracker is based on a programmable logic array and a digital processing chip as a framework, and comprises a real-time image acquisition processing module, a real-time image storage module, a control module FPGA, an output image storage module, a communication module, a digital processing module DSP and a dynamic storage module SDRAM; the real-time image acquisition processing module comprises an analog-to-digital conversion module A/D and a programmable logic array FPGA, the real-time image storage module comprises static memories SRAM1 and SRAM2, the output image storage module comprises static memories SRAM3 and SRAM4, the control module FPGA is configured with a power supply and an erasable memory EPROM, the digital processing module DSP is configured with a power supply and FLASH, and the communication module is configured with RS232 and RS422 communication serial ports; the erasable memory EPROM and the FLASH are used for storing programs for the chip to run, and the dynamic storage module SDRAM provides data storage for the digital processing module DSP to run.
The real-time image acquisition module acquires a target real-time image subjected to A/D conversion through the control module FPGA, the image is stored in the real-time image storage module through a ping-pong technology, namely, the control module FPGA firstly acquires a frame of image and stores the frame of image in the SRAM1 of the real-time image storage module to generate image interruption, the DSP responds to the interruption, image data in the SRAM1 is taken away through the EDMA to be analyzed and processed, then the processed image is transmitted to the SRAM3 in the output image storage module, and the image is displayed through a D/A video under the control of the control module FPGA. When the digital processing module DSP generates interruption, the control module FPGA stores the next acquired frame image into the SRAM2 in the real-time image storage module, when the digital processing module DSP finishes processing and analyzing the frame data and the control module FPGA finishes acquiring the next frame image and generates interruption, the digital processing module DSP takes the data in the SRAM2 away through an EDMA, transmits the data to an SRAM4 in the output image storage module after the data is analyzed and processed, and displays the data through a D/A video under the control of the control module FPGA; and repeating the steps in a circulating way, and after the digital processing module DSP processes one frame of image, transmitting the image and the information of the tracking position to the fire control system through the communication module.
And the control module FPGA roughly selects a target area from the real-time image acquired by the real-time image acquisition module and stores the target area into the real-time image storage module.
The analysis processing of the digital processing module DSP is to carry out binarization processing on the target area stored in the real-time image storage module and obtain the real centroid position of the target area by applying an eight neighborhood marking method; and selecting a target area with the same size as that stored in a real-time image storage module as an original target template picture according to the real centroid position, and carrying out related matching on the original target template picture and a target real-time image until the real position of the target in the real-time image is obtained.
A fast tracking method for performing rough aiming and accurate hitting target based on the high-precision infrared image tracker is shown in fig. 5, and comprises the following specific implementation steps:
step one, roughly selecting a target area in an acquired real-time image, wherein false targets generated by various environmental influences can occur in the target area.
Secondly, performing binarization processing on the target area selected in the first step, obtaining the centroid position of the target area by using an eight-neighborhood labeling method, and judging whether the centroid position is the real centroid position of the target or not; if yes, selecting the target area with the same size as the step one as the original target template picture by using the real centroid position; and if not, selecting the target area by the method of the steps again, and carrying out binarization processing and marking until the real centroid position of the target is obtained.
When the target region is subjected to target extraction, a gray value which enables the variance between the target and the background to be maximum is obtained by adopting an improved maximum inter-class variance method, the gray value which is larger than the gray value in the target region is 255, and otherwise, the gray value is 0. After binarization processing, because of a plurality of connected regions which can appear in the false target, eight-neighborhood labeling is needed to distinguish the real target from the false target, the connected regions which pass the eight-neighborhood labeling are combined, and finally the connected region with the area closest to the pixel imaged by the target is selected to calculate the centroid position of the connected region. And taking the centroid position as a reference, selecting an area with the same size as that in the first step from the target real-time image as a target area, wherein the obtained target area is a target template picture, namely a target needing accurate striking. The target area binarization and labeling schematic diagram is shown in fig. 2, and it is very likely that the beating target does not hit the real target 3 as the centroid detected by the conventional method.
Step three, the original target template image in the step two is matched with the target real-time image in a relevant manner, if the matching is successful, the real position of the target in the real-time image can be obtained, the target template is updated according to the matching result, and the target tracking is switched in; and if the matching fails, performing Kalman or attitude information target prediction, and acquiring a target real-time image again to perform target matching identification so as to obtain a real target.
As shown in FIG. 3, let the gray value matrixes for the real-time target image and the original target template image be S (M, N) and T (M, N), respectively, where M is>m,N&gt, n. The target template T (M, N) is translated on the real-time image S (M, N), and the area of the real-time image covered by the template is a subgraph S u,v (u, v) is the coordinate of the subgraph with the top left corner as the origin,referred to as reference points. A metric is computed at the real-time image reference points to characterize the size of the difference program between the target template graph and the corresponding subgraph, called the correlation value. The greater the correlation value is, the higher the similarity degree between the target template graph and the corresponding subgraph is, and if the correlation value is greater than a threshold value T established in advance, the matching is considered to be successful.
In order to meet the requirements of real-time performance and precision, an original target template graph and a target real-time image are subjected to relevant matching by adopting an improved hill-climbing search strategy and a simplified relevance measurement mode. The improved hill-climbing search strategy mainly adjusts the hill-climbing sequence according to the priority and reduces the calculation of the correlation degree by using samples. The adjustment of the hill climbing sequence according to the priority also solves many unnecessary calculation search processes on the premise of ensuring the matching precision, such as: a plurality of climbers search the point with the maximum correlation value and a plurality of climbers search the local maximum value, and certainly, the calculation efficiency can be further improved and the redundant calculation can be avoided by setting the correlation matrix table and the search position matrix table in the search process.
The search process from coarse to fine can be realized by setting initial hill climbing points at equal intervals under the condition of ensuring the precision, which is inspired by a hierarchical matching algorithm, and the specific flow is shown in fig. 4: the first step, initializing a position table and a relevance table, setting an initial climbing point with equal step length, and calculating subgraphs S of a template graph and a real-time graph u,v (u, v) correlation values, a record location table and a correlation table; step two, sorting the related tables from big to small, judging whether the corresponding position table is marked, if so, not calculating the subgraph S of the template graph and the real-time graph u,v (u, v) correlation values; otherwise, performing the next mountain climbing point at the adjacent point of the position table; thirdly, if the correlation value of the adjacent points is smaller than that of the current point, recording the maximum correlation value and the corresponding position, otherwise, updating the position of the current mountain climbing point by the next position, and calculating the correlation value; and finally, finishing all initial mountain climbing point searches to obtain the maximum position of the correlation value and the correlation value. The matching adopts a mean value removing normalization correlation algorithm as follows:
simplification of the above equation yields:
wherein:
and if the correlation value is larger than the set threshold value T, the matching is considered to be successful, the position and the correlation value of the target in the real-time image can be obtained, the target tracking process is switched to according to the updating of the target template, otherwise, the target position prediction is carried out by utilizing Kalman or attitude information, and then the target tracking is carried out by re-acquiring the real-time image of the target.
In order to improve the tracking stability, reduce the tracking accumulated error and suppress the tracking drift, the current matching optimal region and the current target template are weighted and combined according to a certain criterion according to the similarity degree of the current matching optimal region and the target template to form a new template for matching the next frame of image, so as to achieve a better tracking effect. The target image part should be focused during the target updating process, and the traditional target template updating does not distinguish the target from the background. In practical implementation, firstly, the template image is binarized and 3 × 3 expansion is performed to adapt to the small deformation capability of the target, and when the template is updated, alpha is performed on the non-zero point of the target template binary mask image 1 Updating the weight value, and adopting alpha for the pixel point with the value of zero 2 And updating the weight value to achieve the aims of delaying the background to carry out the target template and quickly updating the real target template graph.
Wherein Bin k (x, y) denotes the mask map after binary expansion of the target template, T k+1 For updated target template graphs, T k Target template graph used for current matching, I k Obtaining an optimal target template graph for the current matching; alpha is alpha 1 =λ 1 A,α 2 =λ 2 A, and satisfies λ 1 >λ 2 And A is an interframe confidence coefficient calculated according to a continuous multiframe matching result:
and matching the next frame of image by using the updated new target template, and then realizing target tracking in the cyclic step of repeatedly entering 'template matching-correlation value calculation-current best matching position acquisition-target template updating-template matching'.
The method can effectively avoid the false target, meet the real-time tracking, reduce the interference of the false target to the template, and has the advantages of reliable target identification and tracking, low requirement on hardware and the like.
