Abstract

The invention discloses a pulse interval-based pulse image sensor noise elimination method and device, applied to a pulse pixel structure; the method comprises the steps: obtaining a first pulse interval, caused by uniform illumination, of a pixel and a second pulse interval, under a dark condition, of the pixel in consideration of time domain noise and space domain noise; obtaining a dark currentcoefficient matrix; carrying out dark current non-consistency correction on the pulse matrix containing the noise by utilizing the dark current coefficient matrix to obtain a pulse matrix after darkcurrent correction, then carrying out guided filtering for multiple times to obtain a noise matrix, subtracting the noise matrix from the pulse matrix after dark current correction to obtain a denoised pulse matrix, and completing noise elimination. The method has the advantages that the pulse data is directly processed and the processing mode is simple and effective, so that the method has the potential of being implemented on hardware.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image processing of CMOS image sensors, and more particularly relates to a method and device for eliminating noise of pulse image sensors based on pulse intervals. Background technique [0002] The pulse image sensor draws on the advantages of pulsed scene information in biological vision and complete information in frame rate image sensors, and converts all light intensity information into time-domain pulse signal representation, which has the characteristics of high speed, low data, and complete information. It solves the problems of the traditional frame rate image sensor that as the frame rate continues to increase, the amount of data will increase year-on-year, seriously affecting the data processing speed, and increasing the output pins, area and power consumption of the chip; while avoiding The address event indicates that the image sensor cannot effectively output the background information event due to the...
