Abstract:

In the field of infrared (IR) polarization imaging, division-of-focal-plane (DoFP) polarization sensors have gained prominence for their compact design and real-time capture of multiple polarization states, crucial for industrial inspection and target recognition. Nonetheless, the spatial resolution of a singular DoFP image, particularly when depicting a single polarization state, is inherently constrained by the sensing mechanism. This limitation greatly reduces the effectiveness of such imagery incomplex environments where high-definition details are essential for accurate analysis. Presently, super-resolution (SR) techniques for DoFP IR polarization images is underdeveloped. This study innovatively introduces a multi-aperture IR polarization SR algorithm, achieved by merging Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers - Block Matching and 3D Collaborative Filtering (ADMM-BM3D) denoising with maximum likelihood estimation. In this proposed methodology, IR polarization images from a multi-aperture imaging system are decomposed into sub-images representing distinct polarization states. Subsequently, sub-pixel precision image registration aligns peripheral images with the central aperture. Maximum likelihood estimation reconstructs high-resolution single-polarization sub-images using the intrinsic sub-pixel displacement data from the multi-aperture system. The generated SR images are refined through ADMM-BM3D denoising. Evaluations in varied real-world scenarios, including indoor and outdoor environments, benchmark our method against state-of-the-art DoFP image SR techniques. Our method shows superiority in no-reference image quality assessment indices like the Natural Image Quality Evaluator (NIQE) and the Blind/Referenceless Image Spatial Quality Evaluator (BRISQUE). Empirical results confirm the method's ability to improve visual quality and detail clarity while preserving the integrity of polarization information. © 2025 SPIE.
