Mars-On-Orbit Color Image Spectrum Model and Color Restoration

Deep space Color Remote Sensing Images (DCRSIs) are of great significance in reconstructing the three-dimensional appearance of celestial bodies. Among them, deep space color restoration, as a means to ensure the authenticity of deep space image colors, has significant research value. The existing deep space color restoration methods have gradually evolved into a joint restoration mode that integrates color images and spectrometers to overcome the limitations of on-orbit calibration plates; however, there is limited research on theoretical models for this type of method. Therefore, this article begins with the physical process of deep space color imaging, gradually establishes a color imaging spectral model, and proposes a new color restoration method for the color restoration of Mars remote sensing images. The experiment verifies that our proposed method can significantly reduce color deviation, achieving an average of 8.43 CIE DE 2000 color deviation units, a decrease of 2.63 (23.78%) compared to the least squares method. The color deviation decreased by 21.47 (71.81%) compared to before restoration. Hence, our method can improve the accuracy of color restoration of DCRSIs in space orbit.

Abstract

Deep space Color Remote Sensing Images (DCRSIs) are of great significance in reconstructing the three-dimensional appearance of celestial bodies. Among them, deep space color restoration, as a means to ensure the authenticity of deep space image colors, has significant research value. The existing deep space color restoration methods have gradually evolved into a joint restoration mode that integrates color images and spectrometers to overcome the limitations of on-orbit calibration plates; however, there is limited research on theoretical models for this type of method. Therefore, this article begins with the physical process of deep space color imaging, gradually establishes a color imaging spectral model, and proposes a new color restoration method for the color restoration of Mars remote sensing images. The experiment verifies that our proposed method can significantly reduce color deviation, achieving an average of 8.43 CIE DE 2000 color deviation units, a decrease of 2.63 (23.78%) compared to the least squares method. The color deviation decreased by 21.47 (71.81%) compared to before restoration. Hence, our method can improve the accuracy of color restoration of DCRSIs in space orbit.
