Abstract

The invention relates to a TOF imaging system capable of automatically adjusting exposure time and an automatic exposure method thereof. The system comprises a data acquisition module, a Zynq development platform control module and an upper computer module, wherein the data acquisition module comprises a TOF sensor for data acquisition; the Zynq development platform control module comprises a programmable logic unit and a processor unit; the programmable logic unit is used for acquiring data of the TOF sensor and transmitting the data to the processor unit for caching; and the processor unit is used for communicating with the upper computer module, configuring the TOF sensor and adjusting the exposure time, and enabling the TOF sensor to adjust the automatic exposure time in time in a dynamic environment by setting an automatic exposure algorithm. The automatic exposure method comprises three simple steps with less related parameters, the method can be simple, rapid and stable and can be suitable for automatic adjustment of exposure time in a dynamic environment, and a system using the exposure method can operate more stably.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of time-of-flight (TOF) sensors, and more particularly, to a TOF imaging system capable of automatically adjusting exposure time and an automatic exposure method thereof. Background technique [0002] Time-of-Flight (TOF) technology means that the sensor emits modulated near-infrared light and reflects it when it encounters an object. The sensor calculates the distance between the light and the reflection time or phase difference, and then converts the distance of the object to generate depth information. , that is, the distance information between the object and the camera, which also provides detailed spatial position relationship. TOF technology is widely used in the fields of drone flight obstacle avoidance, human-computer interaction and gesture recognition, machine positioning and intelligent navigation, human detection and object detection, industrial automation and unmanned driving. As the resolution of the T...
