The present invention provides a device and method of
infrared imaging for
active detection of an aero-optical effect and real-time compensation of an aero-optical effect. A
laser /
infrared co-aperture device employs a reciprocating-type optical
system with a compact structure; the
laser and the emission lens of a
laser emission device are used at the outer portion of an aero-optical turbulence area to form laser spots; a
wavefront photoelectric sensor is configured to receive laser back scattering energy and extract deviation parameters in
distortion wavefront; an
infrared detector is configured to extract the infrared
radiation heat corresponding to target optical
waves; and an
image correction circuit and a degeneration image compensation method operated on the
image correction circuit are configured to receive infrared object
original data and aero-optical
wavefront distortion deviation parameters and perform single-frame real-time
deconvolution operation of the original image data and the deviation parameters to obtain recovered images so as to realize real-time compensation of the aero-optical effect. The scene adaptability is high, and the correction timeliness is high.
