Problems solved by technology

However, it is precisely because of the need to use the shaded pixels on the CMOS to perform phase detection, so phase focusing requires relatively high light intensity, and all pixels with PD information are easily affected by noise and focusing images. Therefore, through this The phase value calculated by the method is not accurate, which reduces the focusing time and accuracy

Abstract

The invention discloses a phase focusing method and device thereof. The method comprises the following steps: dividing a focusing region into multiple sub-regions, and respectively computing the phasedifference and credibility of each sub-region; and dynamically matching a corresponding weight table according to the phase difference and credibility of each sub-region, and obtaining the corresponding weight value through table look-up; and finally, computing the phase difference and the credibility of the focusing region by combining the weight value obtained through table look-up, and then controlling a motor to perform automatic focusing according to the computed phase difference and credibility of the focusing region. In the method disclosed by the invention, the focusing region is divided into multiple sub-regions, the phase difference and the credibility of each sub-region are respectively computed, and the phase difference and credibility of the focusing region are obtained by performing weight summing in combination with the weight value, and the appropriate weight value can be selected according to different depths of field, thereby effectively utilizing the information with high credibility, effectively improving the focusing precision and shortening the focusing time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image processing, in particular to a phase focusing method and a device thereof. Background technique [0002] With the popularity of smart phones, consumers have more and more opportunities to use smart phones to take pictures, and the quality requirements for photos are also getting higher and higher. Focusing is a crucial part of the camera taking pictures. Faster focusing speed and more precise focusing accuracy are beneficial to improve user experience and product competitiveness. [0003] The current automatic focusing methods of electronic devices include phase focusing and contrast focusing, wherein, compared with contrast focusing, phase focusing has faster travel shortening speed. The current principle of phase focusing is to reserve some shaded pixels on the photosensitive element for phase detection, and determine the offset value of the focus through the distance between pixels and its changes to ach...
