Problems solved by technology

Due to the halo of traffic lights at night, the camera quality of the traffic monitoring system is affected, which brings troubles to traffic management
Although a lot of research has been done on anti-halation technology, it is difficult to completely solve the halo problem of CCD imaging
The existing technology is not only ineffective, but also difficult to implement in the production process
The existing technology shows that when the CCD image sensor is sensitive to light, the light-sensing time of all pixels is the same, but the light radiation flux of each pixel point is very different. When the light radiation flux difference between pixels is too large, In order to ensure that the low-brightness pixels generate enough charge, the charge generated by the high-brightness corresponding pixel will be saturated, and the excess charge will overflow into the adjacent pixel unit or vertical shift register, so that the adjacent pixel or the vertical shift passes through the vertical shift register. The pixel unit of the register is sensitive to more light than the actual light radiant flux, resulting in image distortion

Embodiment Construction

[0105] The accompanying drawings show specific embodiments of the present invention.

[0106]See the accompanying drawings. The field programmable logic circuit U1 used in the present invention is a field programmable gate array module XC3S1200E of Xilinx Company of the United States. The video front-end chip U5 is AD9923 from ANALOG DEVICES, USA, and the image sensor UC1 is ICX274 from SONY, Japan. Therefore, this method is based on the AD9923 video front-end chip and the ICX274 image sensor. For the ICX274CCD signal processor, the control method of the electronic shutter is: during the non-light-sensitive time period, each row will generate a SUBCK signal to introduce the charge into the overflow groove, and then clear the charge in the overflow groove. However, if the illuminance of a certain pixel is too high, even the charge overflowing the ditch will be saturated within the photosensitive time of one line, and most of the excess charge will flow into the vertical shift...

Abstract

The invention discloses an anti-blooming implementation method for an image sensor. Hardware consists of a microprocessor or programmable logic circuit, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) front-end signal processor AD9923 and a CCD image sensor ICX274, wherein the microprocessor or programmable logic circuit is used for transmitting data to the CCD front-end signal processor through a serial communication interface; the CCD front-end signal processor is used for transmitting a driving signal to the CCD image sensor under dual control of an original normal light-sensitive driving time sequence and a newly-added blooming-removing driving time sequence; and the CCD image sensor is used for outputting a blooming-removed image signal. The blooming-removing driving time sequence is arranged between original two frames of normal light-sensitive driving time sequences. The method has the advantages of easiness, wide application range, high operability and remarkable effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of digital cameras, in particular to the field of high-definition digital cameras, and relates to a method for anti-halation of an image sensor. Background technique [0002] In the reality that digital cameras are increasingly used in traffic monitoring systems, the problem of halo of vehicle lights at night is becoming more and more prominent. Because the halo of traffic lights at night affects the camera quality of the traffic monitoring system, it brings trouble to traffic management. Although anti-halation technology has been studied a lot, it is difficult to completely solve the problem of halation in CCD imaging. The existing technology is not only ineffective, but also difficult to implement in the production process. The existing technology shows that when the CCD image sensor is sensitive to light, the light-sensing time of all pixels is the same, but the light radiation flux of each pixel point is very di...
