An aerothermal-radiation correction method, including: using a Gaussian surface to approximate a thermal radiation noise, performing a Fourier transform on the Gaussian surface so as to obtain a centralized spectrum of the thermal radiation noise, constructing a filter function H based on the centralized spectrum of the thermal radiation noise; performing a Fourier transform on the aerothermal-radiation degraded image f so as to obtain a centralized spectrum F, taking dot product of F and H to obtain a filtered spectrum G; and performing an inverse Fourier transform on filtered spectrum G to obtain a modulus, and acquire a corrected image. The method effectively removes background noise generated by aerothermal radiation, greatly improves image quality and image signal-to-noise ratio. The method features reduced computational complexity and a shorter operation time, and is suited for real-time processing.

An aerodynamic optical effect correction and identification integrated real-time processing system, comprising an FPGA module, a multi-core main processor DSP, a plurality of auxiliary processors ASICs and an infrared image non-uniformity correction system-on-chip (SoC). By means of the system, full-image thermal radiation correction, denoising, transmission effect correction and target detection processes of an aerodynamic optical effect degradation image are achieved. Correspondingly, provided is the corresponding method. The system effectively solves the problem of aerodynamic optical effect and the problem of the requirement for a short detection time interval of the processor in an aircraft flying at a high speed; due to the adoption of the independently researched and developed ASIC, the real-time property of the whole system is greatly improved; all tasks are rationally distributed and a multi-core parallel mode is adopted, so the image processing time is greatly shortened; and meanwhile, the FPGA module connects all units to form a closed-loop system, so that the system stability is further improved.

Aerodynamic optical effect correction and identification integrated real-time processing system and method

Disclosed in the present invention is a contrast constrained aerothermal radiation correction method. By analyzing features of images at different intensities of aerothermal radiation, it has been discovered that the stronger the aerothermal radiation effect is, the smaller the image contrast becomes, and when thermal radiation correction is performed using a gradient fitting algorithm, it has been discovered that time consumption thereof grows exponentially with an increase in a degree of a fitting surface and with an increase in an image size. The present invention can rapidly and effectively restore an aerothermal radiation image, remarkably improving a signal to noise ratio and quality of the image.
