Image output method and camera

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an image output method and a camera. The camera comprises a first lens, a second lens, a first reflector, a second reflector and an image sensor, wherein the focal length of the first lens is different from the focal length of the second lens, and in the first reflector and the second reflector, the first reflector is closer to the image sensor; the opticalaxis of the first lens is parallel to that of the second lens; when the first reflector is located at a working position, the image sensor receives an image which is collected by the first lens and reflected by the first reflector; and when the first reflector is located at a non-working position and the second reflector is located at a working position, the image sensor receives an image which is collected by the second lens and reflected by the second reflector. According to the camera, one image sensor can alternately receive images collected by two lenses through the first reflector and the second reflector, so that the number of the image sensors in the camera can be reduced, and the production cost of the camera can be saved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of image processing technology, in particular to an image output method and a camera. Background technique [0002] The camera is a professional image acquisition equipment, and its working principle is to convert optical image signals into electrical signals for storage or transmission. When shooting an object, the light reflected on the object is collected by the camera lens, and the collected light beam is focused on the light-receiving surface of the imaging device, such as the photosensitive surface of the image sensor, and then the light signal is converted into an electrical signal by the imaging device, that is, Image data. The camera can also amplify the electrical signal, and then process and adjust the standard signal through various circuits, and transmit the standard information to a recording medium such as a video recorder for recording, or transmit it to the screen for display.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the existing cameras, in order to increase the effective shooting range of the camera, two sets of camera systems with different shooting ranges are usually implanted in the camera, such as figure 1 As shown, it includes two lenses, two image sensors and two SoCs (System on Chip, system-on-chip) for processing image data, which increases the cost of the camera
