热图像显示的连续伪彩色编码

讨论了连续伪彩色编码的视觉特性,提出了连续伪彩色标尺的优化设计方法:以相关性、自然性约束色调、明度、饱和度的变化范围和方向,在均匀颜色空间先自动计算节点的色品坐标,使标尺的路径最长,再进行等色差插值,获取视觉上均匀的连续伪彩色标尺.用于热图像的伪彩色显示,保留了原始图像的相关性、自然性和目标整体模式的认知特性,增加了图像的视觉动态范围和可视信息量,提高了识别目标的对比灵敏度,避免了标尺设计的盲目性.

Continuous Pseudocolor Encoding of Thermal Image Display

The visual features of continuous pseudocolor encoding is discussed and the optimiz- ing design algorithm of continuous pseudocolor scale is derived.The algorithm is restricting the varying range and direction of lightness,hue and saturation according to correlation and naturalness,automatically calculating the chromaticity coordinates of nodes in uniform color space to get the longest length of scale path,then interpolating points between nodes in equal color differences to obtain continuous pseudocolor scale with visual uniformity.When it was applied to the pseudocolor encoding of thermal image displays,the results showed that the correlation and the naturalness of original images and cognitive characteristics of target pattern were reserved well;the dynamic range of visual perception and the amount of visual information increased obviously;the contrast sensitivity of target identification improved;and the blindness of scale design were avoided.
