Problems solved by technology

But the required filters cost close to $10,000
Therefore, the above measurement methods have the defects of relying on the operator's subjective judgment ability or high testing costs

Embodiment Construction

[0036] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with drawings and embodiments. For the convenience of explanation, here is an example of an 8-bit image acquisition card:

[0037] As shown in Figure 1, the CCD camera signal-to-noise ratio digitization test system designed according to the present invention is mainly composed of parts such as a uniform lighting light box 1, a CCD camera 2 to be tested, an image acquisition card 3, a computer 4 and an oscilloscope 5 for auxiliary readings. .

[0038] The basic implementation process is as follows: the camera 2 shoots the uniformly illuminated transmissive target at the exit of the light box 1 , and the fluctuation in the imaging signal reflects the noise of the camera 2 . The video signal of the camera 2 is quantized into a digital image through the image acquisition card 3 and sent to the computer 4 for processing. A specially designed digital high-pass filter is used to separate the noise signal, a...

Abstract

The present invention provides a digitized testing method for the signal-to-noise ratio of a CCD video camera. The fundamental principle of the present invention is that the video camera images the high- uniform illuminating white and clean target, and the fluctuation of the imaging signal reflects the noise of the video camera. The video signal is quantified into a digital image through an image acquisition card, the noise signal is separated by a specially designed digital high-pass filter, and the root-mean-square value of the noise signal is calculated as the noise intensity. The image acquisition card brings a quantizing noise into the original video signal, the quantizing noise is modified to estimate the value of the noise in the original video signal, and thereby the signal-to-noise ratio can be worked out. The present invention achieves the fast speed and objective testing method of the television camera signal-to-noise ratio based on digital image acquisition, the testing result is as good as the result of the video analyzer, thus the method can be used as a replacement method for video camera signal-to-noise testing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the performance evaluation of a discrete photoelectric imaging system in the field of photoelectric testing, realizes a digital objective measurement method for the signal-to-noise ratio of a CCD camera, and is applied to the evaluation of a visible light CCD camera. Background technique [0002] According to IEC1146-1:1994 "Camera Measurement Method: Non-Broadcast Single-Sensor Camera", the signal-to-noise ratio measurement method is: connect the video clutter measuring instrument at the output end of the camera, disconnect the automatic control and correction circuit in the camera channel , Connect the 6MHz low-pass filter and 100KHz high-pass filter of the video clutter measuring instrument, the camera captures the grayscale test chart of EIAJ-C3, so that the video signal amplitude at the output end of the camera is 100% white level, and the video clutter measurement Read the signal-to-noise ratio on the instrument.
