Hyperspectral reconnaissance technology can realize three-dimensional reconnaissance by using target space and spectral information, which effectively improves the efficiency of battlefield reconnaissance. However, in order to obscure what is true and what is false to confuse the enemy, camouflage technology is also developing. Hiding the target in the background environment and setting false targets have become common camouflage procedures on the battlefield. The camouflaged target has very similar spatial and spectral characteristics to the real target, so the method of identifying the camouflaged target according to the similarity threshold of the original spectral data is no longer reliable. In order to solve the problem of high spectral similarity and low discrimination between a camouflaged target and a real target in a hyperspectral image, a joint processing method of spatial spectrum information is adopted in this paper. Firstly, the hyperspectral image is preprocessed, and then the target area to be measured is determined. Finally, the dimensions of the determined sensitive small area are reduced. Experiments show that this processing method can effectively reduce the spectral similarity of true and false targets, increase the spectral difference of true and false targets and improve the ability to identify true and false targets based on hyperspectral images.
Hyperspectral imaging can simultaneously obtain the spatial morphological information of the ground objects and the fine spectral information of each pixel. Through the quantitative analysis of the spectral characteristics of objects, it can complete the task of classification and recognition of ground objects. The appearance of imaging spectrum technology provides great advantages for military target detection and promotes the continuous improvement of military reconnaissance levels. At the same time, spectral camouflage materials and methods that are relatively resistant to hyperspectral reconnaissance technology are also developing rapidly. In order to study the reconnaissance effect of visible/near-infrared hyperspectral images on camouflage targets, this paper analyzes the spectral characteristics of different camouflage targets using the hyperspectral images obtained in the visible and near-infrared bands under natural conditions. Two groups of experiments were carried out. The first group of experiments verified the spectral camouflage characteristics and camouflage effects of different types of camouflage clothing with grassland as the background; the second group of experiments verified the spectral camouflage characteristics and camouflage effects of different types of camouflage paint sprayed on boards and steel plates. The experiment shows that the hyperspectral image based on the near-infrared band has a good reconnaissance effect for different camouflage targets, and the near-infrared band is an effective “window” band for detecting and distinguishing true and false targets. However, the stability of the visible/near-infrared band detection for the target identification under camouflage paint is poor, and it is difficult to effectively distinguish the object materials under the same camouflage paint. This research confirms the application ability of detection based on the visible/near-infrared band, and points out the direction for the development of imaging detectors and camouflage materials in the future.
