摘　　要：电子轰击有源像素传感器(electron bombarded active pixel sensor,EBAPS)是新型的真空-固体混合型数字微光夜视器件。闪烁噪声是影响EBAPS分辨力和成像质量的关键因素,然而,目前EBAPS闪烁噪声的测试研究不足。为此,本文首先开展EBAPS闪烁噪声测试方法研究,使用连通域检测算法筛选高亮噪点区域,提出异常像素点自适应中值替代的离散系数测试方法,在此基础上研制了EBAPS闪烁噪声测试系统,采用离散系数和高亮噪点数量作为闪烁噪声的表征参数,驱动EBAPS将不同测试条件下采集到的图像数据传输至上位机进行噪声处理与分析,测试结果表明:合适的测试照度为1.27×10^(-3) lx,高亮噪点数量在-1000~-1300 V范围内数量较少,-1300~-1500 V时高亮噪点数量则明显提升。离散系数和连通域数量重复度均在3%以内,验证了测试系统的稳定性,为国产EBAPS闪烁噪声测试提供有效手段。An electron bombarded active pixel sensor(EBAPS)is a novel vacuum-solid,hybrid,digital,low-light night vision device.Flicker noise is a key factor affecting the resolution and image quality of EBAPS;however,there is currently insufficient research on the testing of flicker noise in EBAPS.Hence,this study conducted research on EBAPS flicker noise testing methods using connected domain detection algorithms to filter out high-brightness noise spot areas and proposed an adaptive,median replacement,discrete coefficient testing method for abnormal pixel points.Based on these results,an EBAPS flicker-noise testing system was developed using the discrete coefficient and number of bright noise spots as parameters to characterize the flicker noise.The system drives the EBAPS to transfer image data collected under different test conditions to an upper computer for noise processing and analysis.The test results indicate that the appropriate test illuminance is 1.27×10^(-3) lx.Moreover,the number of high-brightness noise spots is relatively low in the−1000−1300 V range,and it significantly increases when the voltage is between -1300-1500 V.The repeatability of the discrete coefficient and number of connected domains was within 3%,thus verifying the stability of the testing system and providing an effective means by which to test flicker noise in domestic EBAPS.
