Wherein, polarization rotator 6 is a stable twisted nematic liquid crystal rotatory polarization device, can accurately control polarization direction that can the fast rotational linearly polarized light beam to the polarization anglec of rotation by control.The outer ring 1 of analyzer 10 is provided with a plurality of triggerings hole 2, is arranged on the printing opacity direction of a plurality of demarcation.Infrared eye 9 is made up of infrared emission end and receiving end two parts.Optical filter adopts interference filter; The polarizer adopts the Glan Taylor prism polarizer,
Underwater camera method of the present utility model is specific as follows:
The laser that semiconductor laser 3 sends is through interference filter, produce linearly polarized light behind the Glan Taylor prism polarizer through diameter 10mm again, polarized light through behind the polarization rotator 6 again through the beam expander 7 of 5 * microcobjective, submarine target thing 8 is all illuminated just, and the reflection of object 8 or scattered light are surveyed by high frequency ccd video camera 11 behind analyzer 10.The light transmission shaft of rotatory polarization sheet 6 is AO axles, and stepper motor 12 control gyro frequencys make printing opacity direction AO, BO, CO and the DO of four demarcation pass through X-axis successively.The dynamic intensity variations that high frequency ccd video camera 11 records enter CCD, the Strength Changes figure at formation space object wavelength place.The outer ring of analyzer 10 has 4 to trigger hole 2, is arranged on the printing opacity direction of four demarcation.Infrared eye 9 sends the infrared light that is parallel to the z of system axle, and when the triggering hole of rotation was on the light path just, infrared eye 9 received light signal, and image is sent in the computing machine.Trigger hole 2 and rotate in the direction of the clock, after system's zero clearing, triggering hole A optical system for alignment, after this B, C, D optical system for alignment successively.
The plot of light intensity of five polarization directions grasping looks like to be followed successively by I 0 °, I 30 °, I 45 °, I 60 °, I 90 °Form the intensity gray level image.The radiation at each pixel record space bodies wavelength place is rotated the result of polaroid modulation on the image, the intensity level of choosing four polarization directions can calculate the polarization parameter of target background, and then calculate the degree of polarization and the polarization angle at the wavelength place, space of respective pixel correspondence, form degree of polarization and polarization angle gray level image.
Experimental result of the present utility model and analysis:
Experiment adopts semiconductor laser as lighting source, and illumination target is that white is printed the pencil coating (rectangle) on the scraps of paper, 1 coin-dividing and the scraps of paper.Experiment has been gathered when not adding polaroid the target image (intensity map) under the natural light and has been added polaroid and polarizer printing opacity direction and the analyzer printing opacity angular separation image of totally 6 width of cloth targets when being respectively 0 °, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, 90 °, is respectively (a) and (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) six width of cloth images.
(a) target image and background image contrast are less, and details is unintelligible.Compare (b), (c), (d) three width of cloth polarization images as can be seen, along with the polarization angle increases coin deepening gradually.(d) be the polarization image that the polarization angle is become when being 45 °, the profile of rectangle coating displays.(f) be that the polarization angle is become image during by 90 °, coin deepening fully, and the profile of coin and pencil coating is all very clear, and imaging effect is significantly better than intensity map.Its former because: when laser radiation was on coin, based on reflected light and single scattered light, and the degree of polarization of reflected light and single scattered light was bigger, and when two polaroids were parallel to each other, transmitted light was the strongest, this moment coin the brightest; When two polaroids are vertical mutually, transmission-polarizing light intensity minimum, this moment, the coin gray scale reduced.Blank sheet of paper is complete depolarization basically, and no matter angle is much each other for two polaroids, has all repeatedly that scattered light transmits, and transmitted light remains unchanged substantially.So variation that the constant substantially background of this light intensity sets off out coin and coating gray scale.As can be seen, depolarization is shaken the variation of little object (coin) light and shade obviously more than comprehensive; Obvious deepening when the difference that target (coating) and background (scraps of paper) are shaken to the incident ray polarized light depolarization causes that coating does not more add polarization in the time of 90 °, and that the scraps of paper change is less, so improved image contrast.Exactly because different targets has different polarization characteristics, so polarization is surveyed the powerful measure that becomes Target Recognition.
According to above intensity image and the polarization image that obtains by experiment, (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) in five width of cloth images as can be seen, though bias light has been eliminated fully, but the reflected light of target has also been filtered out largely simultaneously, influenced imaging effect, this be we do not wish situation about seeing.So for the wiping out background scattered light, do not influence simultaneously imaging effect again, this paper is according to theoretical formula, utilize image fusion technology, choosing the polarization direction is 0 °, the polarization image of 45 ° and 90 ° has calculated Stokes image and the degree of polarization and the polarization angle image of target, and wherein I, Q, U and degree of polarization image are respectively the image that I, Q, U component and the degree of polarization value of Stokes parameter are formed.
As can be seen: utilize the object that image fusion technology calculates the Stokes compression of images signal of background, but DeGrain.The degree of polarization image of the target that calculates has greatly compressed mixed and disorderly background signal, and the compression of object reflected light is less, intensity image and polarization image that effect obtains significantly better than direct detection, and this is for further target detection and identification provide convenience.So comprehensive utilization polarization Detection Techniques and image fusion technology are compressed mixed and disorderly background signal, make that target detection and the identification under the complex background becomes possibility.
Experiment adopts laser as lighting source, has obtained the intensity image of target and the polarization image under the different polarization angle situation, and the polarization image of intensity image and different polarization angle has been carried out comparative analysis.The result shows: the polarization imaging technology can improve the contrast of target imaging; With respect to the depolarization strong target of shaking, the depolarization weak target image brightness of shaking changes obviously.So the polarization imaging technology can improve target detection and recognition efficiency effectively.Polarization imaging can utilize difference that the different target depolarization shakes to eliminate the interference of bias light, and the means of recognition objective from mixed and disorderly background are provided, and has clear superiority than the method for light intensity recognition objective.
