    Abstract: 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.
