[0054] see figure 1 , is the flow chart of the first embodiment of the exposure control method of the present application:

[0055] Step 101: After the capture machine receives the capture trigger signal, it switches from the video recording mode to the capture mode.

[0056] Step 102: Calculate the snapshot exposure parameter in the snapshot mode according to the video exposure parameter in the video recording mode.

[0057] Specifically, obtain the preset slowest shutter speed, calculate the capture shutter speed according to the slowest shutter speed and the shutter speed in the video recording mode, and calculate the capture gain according to the shutter speed and gain in the video recording mode, The snapshot shutter speed and the snapshot gain are the snapshot exposure parameters. Further, the snapshot shutter speed and the snapshot gain can also be corrected by a preset correction coefficient (including a maximum gain value, etc.).

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an exposure control method and device which are used in a candid camera with a video recording mode and a candid mode. The method comprises the following steps: after receiving a candid trigger signal, the candid camera converts the video recording mode to the candid mode; the candid exposure parameter in the candid mode is calculated according to a video exposure parameter in the video recording mode; and one frame of candid image is shot according to the candid exposure parameter. The candid camera in the embodiment of the invention has double functions of video recording and candid so that the candid exposure parameter of any moment can be calculated according to the video exposure parameter; as the video exposure parameter is characterized by changing according to the physical environment, the calculated candid exposure parameter can change to adapt to the environment and the exposure quality of the candid image can be increased; and when the candid function of the candid camera in the embodiment of the invention is not triggered, the candid camera can perform real-time recording of the video image, thus the double functions of the candid camera can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of image processing, and in particular to an exposure control method and device applied in a camera. Background technique [0002] A camera is a device that is triggered by an event at a specific time to capture the current scene to obtain a close-up image of the current event. The camera is usually used in the field of traffic monitoring, such as capturing road speeding, toll checkpoints, and vehicles that violate traffic rules. Wait. During the capture process, due to the large change in the light brightness range of the natural scene, its dynamic range can reach 160dB, which is far greater than the dynamic range of ordinary digital cameras (about 55dB), so it is necessary to perform exposure control during the capture process. Appropriate exposure parameters are obtained, and the exposure parameters generally include aperture parameters, shutter parameters, gain parameters, and the like. In pr...
