  • Patent number: 11162847
    Abstract: A method of attitude estimation of a spotted target. The method includes an offline training and an online estimation. The offline training includes establishing a three-dimensional geometric model of a target, performing region division according to the structure of the target, establishing an object-space temperature distribution model for each region of the target, establishing an infrared radiation transmission model of an intra-atmospheric target in six attitudes in observation by a detection system, constructing an image-space radiant energy model of the target in the six attitudes using the object-space temperature distribution model and the infrared radiation transmission model, and performing simulation calculation to obtain an infrared spectral curve of the spotted target regarding wavelength versus image-space-radiant-energy-of-target, so as to establish a mapping database regarding target-attitude versus spectrum.

  • Patent number: 9921102
    Abstract: A moving platform borne infrared image-spectrum associated detection system includes an optical hood, a broadband optical system, a two-dimensional servo system, an infrared optical fiber, a Fourier interference spectrum module, an image-spectrum associated detection processing module, a power supply module, and a display module. Incident light enters from the optical hood to the broadband optical system, and is split by a spectroscope. Transmitted light is focused by a long-wave imaging lens group on an infrared detector for imaging. Reflected light is focused by a broadband spectrum lens group to an optical fiber coupler, enters the Fourier interference spectrum module through the infrared optical fiber to form an interference pattern, and undergoes Fourier transform to obtain spectral data.
