Abstract
In the applications of scientific imaging and space exploration, the dynamic range of imaging systems is usually required to reach more than 120 dB. In order to observe a highly dynamic scene in real time, we designed an imaging system based on a digital micromirror device (DMD) that is used as a spatial light modulator. First, we designed a binocular highly dynamic light-adjusting system based on a DMD according to the DMD’s optical structure. Second, in order to realize the registration between the micromirrors of a DMD and pixels of the two cameras, a pixel-matching algorithm was developed. Finally, we introduce a novel light-adjusting algorithm that can recover the highly dynamic data of the dynamic scene. Experiments showed that the deviation between the DMD and the two cameras is reduced to 0.48 pixels after correction, and that bright and dark targets in a high-dynamic-range scene can both be displayed simultaneously in one image with high quality after light adjustment. The dynamic range of the system is theoretically 209 dB, which meets the requirements of high-dynamic-range observation.
