Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, ultra-wide-angle lenses or cup-shaped reflection lenses are mostly used to realize 360-degree full-field monitoring, but the image output by such lenses is very deformed, and the basic image quality cannot be guaranteed even after computer correction; in order to obtain higher quality 360-degree high-resolution images, and to achieve timely processing, so it is necessary to adopt a more favorable method under the premise that the current technology can achieve

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Such as figure 1 As shown, the monitoring camera with a 360-degree field of view of the present invention includes n cameras 1 with the same optical magnification arranged in the circumferential direction, wherein n is a natural number, n≥2, such as figure 2 As shown, each camera 1 includes a lens, a sensor for imaging, and a microcontroller for configuring and controlling the sensor, that is, the imaging parameters are adjusted by the microcontroller, such as brightness and contrast. Here, as figure 2 shown, the microcontroller can pass the I 2 The data (mainly the imaging parameters mentioned above) is transmitted between the C bus and the sensor, and the microcontroller outputs a control signal CTR to control the working state of the sensor, such as starting and resetting. The monitoring camera also includes a main controller 2, which can adopt a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), and the main controller 2 communicates with the microcontrollers of all cameras to send...

Abstract

The invention discloses a monitoring camera with a 360-degree field angle. The monitoring camera comprises n cameras and a master controller, wherein the n cameras are circumferentially distributed, and have the same optical power; the master controller provides a uniform starting control signal for the video data output of all sensors and a uniform pixel reference clock signal for own pixel clock signal generation of each sensor; video signals output by the sensors are synchronized and spliced by a synchronizer to form video spliced output signals; the synchronizer comprises memories configured in one-to-one correspondence with the cameras, writing control modules configured in one-to-one correspondence with the memories, a reading control module and an output selection module; each memory has dual asynchronous ports for asynchronously performing reading and writing operations; and the output selection module reads one line of each sensor out in a line period under the control of the reading control module, and splices the read-out line into a new line. The monitoring camera provided by the invention reduces requirements on the sensors, and can instantly obtain a panoramic image with high fidelity without subsequent complex processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to camera equipment, in particular to a monitoring camera with a multi-camera and a 360-degree field of view. Background technique [0002] At present, ultra-wide-angle lenses or cup-shaped reflection lenses are mostly used to realize 360-degree full-field monitoring, but the image output by such lenses is very deformed, and the basic image quality cannot be guaranteed even after computer correction; in order to obtain higher quality 360-degree High-resolution images, and to achieve timely processing, so it is necessary to adopt a more favorable method under the premise that the current technology can achieve. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a monitoring camera with higher image quality capable of 360-degree shooting. [0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a monitoring camera with a 360-degree field of view, including n cameras with the same opt...
