SFMHANet: Surface Fitting Constrained Multidimensional Hybrid Attention Network for Aero-Optics Thermal Radiation Effect Correction by Yu Shi, ShanLin Niu, Lei Wang, Liang Ye, YaoZong Zhang, HanYu Hong

“…When an aircraft is flying at hypervelocity in the atmosphere, the airflow and the optical cowl rub against each other, and the airflow's kinetic energy in the boundary layer is transformed into thermal energy, which causes the cowl's surface temperature to rise nonuniformly and produces thermal radiation interference with the imaging system of the detector. In practical application scenarios, the aero-optical thermal radiation patterns in degraded images are not fixed, and types of aero-optics thermal radiation are more variable and complex. …”
