摘要
逐像元自适应增益成像系统通过在每个像元的电子链路中集成四档不同容积的积分电容,可以在确保高信噪比的前提下实现大动态范围的遥感成像需求。此成像系统在发射前测试时,由于甚低增益(ULG)的动态范围过大而实验室积分球能量有限,只能通过与低增益(LG)的比例系数递推来间接对ULG后半量程的输出特性标定;星载太阳定标器反射能量过大会导致高增益(HG)和中增益(MG)输出饱和也无法直接测定辐射定标系数,只可通过比例系数推定。提出一种星上增益比例系数测定的方案,分别利用四档增益的输出作为特征对实验图像分类,将不同成像目标的输出码值作为多个定标能级,利用最小二乘法线性拟合相邻增益输出后得到相邻增益的比例系数。此方案验证了实验室增益比例系数测定结果,同时在外场成像实验中用该方法计算得到的比例系数用于相邻两档增益中较低增益图像反演较高增益图像,结果与实际较高增益图像对比归一化均方误差大部分小于0.01、两图像结构相关系数基本在90%左右、数据相关系数达到90%。证明该方法测定的相邻两增益比例相关系数有较高准确性,在星上辐射定标时用于高增益辐射定标系数的递推求取有极大的可行性,解决了星上不能直接对HG、MG辐射定标的问题。
Abstract
ObjectiveThe pixel-level adaptive gain imaging system can achieve a large dynamic range of remote sensing imaging requirements while ensuring high signal-to-noise ratio by integrating four different volume integrating capacitors in the electronic link of each pixel. During prelaunch testing of this imaging system, due to the large dynamic range of Ultra Low Gain (ULG) and the limited energy of the laboratory integrating sphere, the output characteristics of the second half range of ULG can only be indirectly calibrated by recurrence of the proportional coefficient with Low Gain (LG). Excessive reflected energy from the onboard solar scaler can lead to saturation of High Gain (HG) and Medium Gain (MG) outputs, which can only be inferred through proportional coefficients and cannot be directly calibrated. A scheme for measuring the onboard proportion coefficient between adjacent gains is proposed. The test images are classified using outputs of different gains as features to obtain the output of different imaging targets, and the outputs of different targets are used as multiple calibration energy levels. The proportion coefficient of adjacent gains is obtained by linear fitting of adjacent gain outputs using the least squares method. This scheme verifies the laboratory proportionality coefficient and solves the problem of onboard radiance calibration of HG and MG.MethodsThe onboard gain ratio measurement scheme of the pixel-level adaptive gain imaging system proposed in this article mainly utilizes the incoming pupil radiance received by the detector to provide appropriate energy levels for adjacent two gain levels, in order to calculate the conversion ratio coefficient between them. During the calibration process, the type of imaging target is not taken into account, that is, the ground, clouds, etc. which are considered as energy levels. Therefore, atmospheric correction and cloud removal are not required, and it is not affected by weather. This scheme can be used to measure adjacent gain ratio coefficients on both sunny and cloudy days. The specific solution is to determine the two level gain ratio coefficients that are currently suitable for measurement through the adaptive gain imaging results of different channels; Then, the fourth gear gain output after removing stripe noise is used as the imaging feature of a single pixel to cluster the imaging images; By using different categories of image regions with adjacent gains after clustering as energy points to fit the linear relationship between adjacent gains, the ratio coefficient of adjacent gains for the current channel can be obtained. And further use the gain ratio coefficient to calculate the onboard radiation calibration coefficients for the four gains.Results and DiscussionsThe removal effect of stripe noise in the imaging process of outfield experiments and the complexity of ground targets during outfield imaging may have a certain impact on the measurement accuracy of the gain to gain ratio coefficient. The proportion coefficient calculated using the method proposed in this article is used to invert the higher gain image from the lower gain image in the adjacent two levels. Compared with the actual higher gain image, the normalized mean square error is mostly less than 0.01, the structural correlation coefficient of the two images is basically around 90%, and the data correlation coefficient reaches 90%. Prove that this method has high accuracy in determining the correlation coefficient between adjacent two gain ratios, and it is highly feasible to use it for recursive calculation of high gain radiometric calibration coefficients in satellite radiometric calibration.ConclusionsThrough field imaging experiments, it has been verified that the ratio coefficient of adjacent gains measured by this method can effectively complete the task of inverting high gain images from low gain images. Therefore, it is highly feasible to use this method to obtain the other three gain radiometric calibration coefficients from the radiometric calibration coefficients of ULG during onboard radiometric calibration. This provides a certain idea for the onboard radiation calibration of large dynamic range imaging systems with multiple gains.
