[0105] see image 3 , the figure shows the flow chart of the microlens array imaging method of the third embodiment of the present invention, the method can be applied to light field cameras, compound eye cameras and microscopic imaging systems with large field of view, the specific steps included in the method as follows:

[0106] Step S301, acquiring a response curve of an image sensor.

[0107] It should be noted that the response curve of the image sensor expresses the nonlinear mapping relationship in which the sensor converts the radiation amount of light into a digital image value, which is an inherent characteristic of the sensor. The acquisition of the response curve can be carried out when the image sensor is finalized, and the response curve of the sensor can be obtained by searching the factory parameters of the sensor; if the response curve data is lacking, the response curve of the image sensor can also be measured experimentally. The experimental measurement me...

Abstract

The present invention provides an imaging method and an imaging device of a microlens array. The imaging method includes: obtaining an original scene image output by an image sensor; Scene irradiance distribution; according to the pre-stored microlens irradiance distribution model, perform brightness uniform transformation on the original scene irradiance distribution to obtain a scene irradiance distribution with uniform brightness; convert the scene irradiance distribution with uniform brightness to The illuminance distribution is re-transformed into a digital image of the scene with uniform brightness, which solves the problem of uneven brightness distribution in the original image formed by the microlens array, improves the quality of the original image, and reduces the difficulty of matching and splicing the image formed by the microlens.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of imaging technology, in particular to an imaging method and an imaging device of a microlens array. Background technique [0002] Microlens arrays are widely used in light field cameras, compound eye cameras, and microscopic cameras with large fields of view. However, due to the fluctuation of light and the non-linear response of the image sensor in the processes of light sensing, conversion of analog signals to digital signals, and remapping of digital signals to digital images, the illumination distribution in the output digital image is different from the real one. The ambient light distribution of the scene is not linear, which leads to the non-uniformity of the brightness in the microlens imaging, resulting in the phenomenon that each microlens imaging will appear bright in the middle and dark around. This will cause serious interference to the subsequent processing of microlens array imaging (whether it is ma...
