[0002] Compared to traditional images, polarization images can better supplement missing information in traditional images, such as the material and tissue properties, surface roughness, and structural composition of the target. Currently, a common method for obtaining polarization images is to encapsulate a polarizer on the camera's photosensitive target surface to form a pixel polarization camera, which can then capture polarization images.

[0003] However, when mounting the polarizer on the camera's photosensitive target, it is necessary to ensure that the camera's pixels are precisely aligned with the polarization units in the polarizer array. If this alignment is not accurate, moiré patterns will appear. Moiré patterns are a type of high-frequency interference that can cause crosstalk between adjacent pixel units in a polarization camera, resulting in poor image quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present invention, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. A and B can be singular or plural. In the text descriptions of the present invention, the character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0065] Optical components are used in various optical instruments and systems, playing an indispensable role in all sectors of the national economy. Traditional optical components are based on the refraction, reflection, or diffraction of light. Changes in the amplitude, phase, and polarization state of incident light are gradually accumulated along the optical path. However, of the many characteristic quantities of light, only amplitude and wavelength can be used as information carriers. The information carried by phase and polarization state is lost in conventional imaging due to the physiological limitations of the human eye.

[0066] Compared to traditional commercial cameras, polarization cameras can better supplement information missing from conventional imaging, such as material and tissue properties, surface roughness, structural composition, and three-dimensional shape. Currently, a common method for acquiring polarization images using commercial charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera sensors is time-spectroscopic polarization imaging, which involves rotating a polarizer placed in front of the camera. While this method is relatively simple in terms of system design and data reduction, it is time-consuming and can cause projection errors in the scene onto the camera. Another common method is focal plane spectroscopic polarization imaging measurement, known as a pixel polarization camera. This method aligns the polarization subunits in the polarizer array onto the camera's pixels. This pixel polarization camera has a simple structure, a small field of view error, can measure dynamic targets, and is time-efficient.

[0067] A key technical challenge in the production of pixel-based polarization cameras is achieving precise alignment between the camera's pixels and the polarization subunits in the polarizer array. If these are not precisely aligned, moiré patterns will appear. Moiré patterns are high-frequency interference that can cause crosstalk between adjacent pixel units in a polarization camera, resulting in poor image quality and an inability to clearly capture image detail.

[0068] Therefore, in order to avoid moiré patterns during the packaging of pixel polarization cameras, it is necessary to precisely align the camera's pixels with the polarization units in the polarizer array. To precisely align the camera's pixels with the polarization units in the polarizer array, thereby improving alignment accuracy, embodiments of the present invention provide an alignment system for a polarizer array and a camera's photosensitive target surface. The alignment system for a polarizer array and a camera's photosensitive target surface provided by the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. It is understood that the following specific embodiments may be combined with one another, and that the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0069] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the alignment system between the polarizer array and the photosensitive target surface of the camera provided in an embodiment of the present invention. For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the alignment system of the polarizer array and the photosensitive target surface of the camera may include: a controller 110, a first displacement automatic control platform 120 connected to the controller 110 respectively, a built-in orbital rotation clamp 130 and a second displacement automatic control platform 140, a polarizer array 150 arranged below the built-in orbital rotation clamp 130, and a camera 160 fixedly arranged on the second displacement automatic control platform 140; the polarizer array 150 is located above the camera 160 and is connected to the built-in orbital rotation clamp 130, and the built-in orbital rotation clamp 130 is installed on the first displacement automatic control platform 120.

[0070] The controller 110 is configured to control the first automatic displacement control platform 120 and / or the second automatic displacement control platform 140 to vertically adjust the distance between the polarizer array 150 and the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160 based on the positions of the camera 160 and the polarizer array 150, and to control the built-in track rotation clamp 130 to adjust the horizontal rotation angle of the polarizer array 150 until the distance is less than or equal to a first distance threshold. After the adjustment, the real-time display image of the camera 160 includes the polarizer array 150, and the clarity corresponding to the polarizer array 150 is greater than the first clarity threshold.

[0071] The controller 110 is also used to control the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera 160 based on the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera 160, so that the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera 160 are aligned with the polarization sub-units in the polarizer array 150 after adjustment.

[0072] For example, the first automatic displacement control platform 120 can be a three-axis automatic displacement control platform with at least three axes, that is, it can be a three-axis automatic displacement control platform or a six-axis automatic displacement control platform; the second automatic displacement control platform 140 can be a six-axis automatic displacement control platform, or a multi-axis automatic displacement control platform, and can be configured according to actual needs. For example, in the embodiments of the present invention, the first automatic displacement control platform 120 is a three-axis automatic displacement control platform, and the second automatic displacement control platform 140 is a six-axis automatic displacement control platform. However, this does not mean that the embodiments of the present invention are limited to this example.

[0073] For example, the polarizer unit in the polarizer array 150 may be a 2×2 polarizer unit, and the polarization directions of the four polarizer subunits in the polarizer unit are different, namely 0, π / 4, π / 2, and 3π / 4.

[0074] For example, the alignment system of the polarizer array 150 and the camera 160 also includes a light source 180 and a filter switch 190 respectively connected to the controller 110; wherein, the light source 180 is arranged above the built-in orbital rotating clamp 130, and the filter switch 190 is arranged between the light source 180 and the built-in orbital rotating clamp 130, and the filter switch 190 has bandpass filters of multiple bands.

[0075] The controller 110 is further configured to control the filter switch 190 to switch a bandpass filter of a certain wavelength band when controlling the light source 180 to operate.

[0076] Along the light beam output from light source 180, a built-in orbital rotation holder 130, a polarizer array 150, a camera 160, and a second displacement automatic control platform 140 are sequentially arranged. Built-in orbital rotation holder 130 rotates in all directions in space and is mounted on first displacement automatic control platform 120, which can move in the X, Y, and Z directions. Camera 160 is mounted on second displacement automatic control platform 140, which can move in the X, Y, and Z directions and rotate within the XY, YZ, and XZ planes.

[0077] For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the internal track rotating clamp 130 includes an external track rotating member 220 and an internal track fixing member 210. For example, see Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the internal track rotating clamp provided by the embodiment of the present invention, which is fixed by the fixing member 230. In particular, the internal track fixing member 210 is coupled with the external track rotating member 220 via a coupling member 240. The coupling member 240 is fixedly arranged on the outer periphery of the external track rotating member 220. The inner ring portion of the internal track fixing member 210 has a slide rail coupled with the external track rotating member 220. For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the external track rotating member provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the internal track fixing member provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The internal track fixing member 210 and the external track rotating member 220 can change their positions relative to the slide rail via a coupling 240. Typically, the internal track fixing member 210 and the external track rotating member 220 rotate relative to each other, with the internal track fixing member 210 being stationary and the external track rotating member 220 being rotatable.

[0078] Combined with the above Figure 4As shown, for example, the coupling member 240 can be a retractable roller. During the process of coupling the external track rotating member 220 to the internal track fixing member 210, the roller can be subjected to an external force in the center direction of the external track rotating member 220 and pressed into the external track rotating member 220; after the external track rotating member 220 is pressed and coupled to the internal track fixing member 210, the roller can be subjected to an external force in the center direction of the external track rotating member 220 and pulled out and coupled into the track of the internal track fixing member 210. For example, see Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the overall structure of the built-in orbital rotating clamp provided in an embodiment of the present invention is not fixed by the fixing part. It can be seen that the external orbital rotating part 220 is configured with a coupling part 230, which can rotate along the radial direction of the built-in orbital rotating clamp to match and couple the external orbital rotating part 220 with the built-in orbital fixing part 210; for example, a fixing part 230 is provided on the built-in orbital fixing part 210, and the fixing part 230 is used to fix the relative position of the external orbital rotating part 220 and the built-in orbital fixing part 210. After fixation, the position of the external orbital rotating part 220 is fixed to the position of the built-in orbital fixing part 210, so that the two do not move relative to each other.

[0079] For example, the built-in track rotating clamp can be mounted on the first displacement automatic control platform via a connecting rod. The connecting rod can be used to construct various optical paths, not limited to the optical path configuration shown in the above figure. For example, the connecting rod can be a four-way adjustable connector, which can adjust the vertical and horizontal pitch of the track rotating clamp 130, thereby simplifying the optical path.

[0080] For example, when the controller 110 controls the first displacement automatic control platform 120 and / or the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to adjust the distance between the polarizer array 150 and the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160 in the vertical direction based on the positions of the camera 160 and the polarizer array 150, and controls the built-in orbital rotation clamp 130 to adjust the horizontal rotation angle of the polarizer array 150, the controller 110 can first control the first displacement automatic control platform 120 and / or the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to reduce the distance between the polarizer array 150 and the camera 160 in the vertical direction based on the positions of the camera 160 and the polarizer array 150, so that the polarizer array 150 gradually approaches the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160, and in the process of the polarizer array 150 gradually approaching the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160, control the built-in orbital rotation clamp 130 to adjust the horizontal rotation angle of the polarizer array 150 so that the edge of the adjusted polarizer array 150 is parallel to the corresponding edge of the real-time display image of the camera 160.

[0081] When the adjusted side of polarizer array 150 is parallel to the corresponding side of the real-time image displayed by camera 160, controller 110 continues to control first automatic displacement control platform 120 and / or second automatic displacement control platform 140 to gradually decrease the distance between polarizer array 150 and the photosensitive target surface of camera 160 in the vertical direction, so that polarizer array 150 gradually approaches the photosensitive target surface of camera 160, until the distance between the photosensitive target surface of camera 160 and polarizer array 150 is less than or equal to a first distance threshold, the adjusted real-time image displayed by camera 160 includes polarizer array 150, and the clarity corresponding to polarizer array 150 is greater than the first clarity threshold. The values of the first distance threshold and the first clarity threshold can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention do not impose specific limitations on the values of the first distance threshold and the first clarity threshold.

[0082] For example, see Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the real-time display image of the camera provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the pixel of the camera 160 is 640×480, and taking the example of controlling only the first displacement automatic control platform 120 to gradually lower the height of the polarizer array 150, after the optical path is set up, the controller 110 can only control the first displacement automatic control platform 120 to gradually lower the height of the polarizer array 150 in the vertical direction, so that the polarizer array 150 gradually approaches the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160; and in the process of the polarizer array 150 gradually approaching the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160, the built-in track rotation clamp 130 is controlled to adjust The polarizer array 150 is rotated horizontally at an angle such that the adjusted side of the polarizer array 150 is parallel to the corresponding side of the real-time display image of the camera 160. The first automatic displacement control platform 120 is continuously controlled to gradually lower the height of the polarizer array 150 in the vertical direction so that the polarizer array 150 gradually approaches the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160 until the distance between the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160 and the polarizer array 150 is less than or equal to the first distance threshold, and the adjusted real-time display image of the camera 160 includes the polarization subunits 320, 330, 340, and 350 of the polarizer array 150.

[0083] After adjusting the distance between the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160 and the polarizer array 150, as well as the horizontal rotation angle of the polarizer array 150, the controller 110 can control the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera 160 based on the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera 160, so that the pixels in the real-time display image of the adjusted camera 160 are aligned with the polarization sub-units in the polarizer array 150.

[0084] For example, when the controller 110 controls the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera 160 based on the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera 160, it is specifically used to control the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to perform: S1, adjust the rotation angle of the camera 160, and the brightness difference of the real-time display image of the camera 160 after adjustment is less than the first brightness threshold, that is, the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera 160 after adjustment is relatively uniform; S2, adjust the horizontal position of the camera 160, and the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera 160 after adjustment is greater than the second brightness threshold; wherein the second brightness threshold is greater than the first brightness threshold; S3, based on the gradually enlarged real-time display image of the camera 160, continue to adjust the horizontal position of the camera 160 until the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera 160 after adjustment are aligned with the polarization sub-units in the polarizer array 150.

[0085] The value of the first brightness threshold and the value of the second brightness threshold can be set according to actual needs. Here, the embodiment of the present invention does not impose any specific restrictions on the value of the first brightness threshold and the value of the second brightness threshold.

[0086] For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, when adjusting the rotation angle of the camera 160, the rotation angle of the camera 160 can be adjusted in three directions: X, Y, and Z. The specific setting can be made according to actual needs. Here, the embodiment of the present invention does not make any specific restrictions.

[0087] For example, when the controller 110 controls the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to adjust the horizontal position of the camera 160 based on the gradually enlarged real-time display image of the camera 160, the alignment system between the polarizer array 150 and the camera 160 also includes an electronic device whose display screen is larger than a preset threshold, and the electronic device is connected to the camera 160 and the controller 110 respectively.

[0088] The electronic device is configured to receive the real-time display image of the camera 160 and display the real-time display image of the camera 160 which is gradually magnified.

[0089] The controller 110 is specifically configured to control the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to continue adjusting the horizontal position of the camera 160 based on the gradually enlarged real-time display image displayed by the electronic device.

[0090] The controller 110 is specifically configured to determine, based on the multiple images captured at different angles by the adjusted camera 160, the brightness corresponding to each of the multiple images and the extinction ratio corresponding to the adjusted camera 160; and determine, based on the brightness corresponding to each of the multiple images and the extinction ratio corresponding to the adjusted camera 160, whether to control the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to repeatedly execute the above-mentioned S1-S3 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera 160.

[0091] For example, the controller 110 may be a controller 110 independently provided in the electronic device, or may be a controller 110 in the electronic device. The controller 110 may be specifically provided according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0092] For example, when the controller 110 determines the brightness corresponding to each of the multiple images and the extinction ratio corresponding to the adjusted camera 160 based on the multiple images at different angles captured by the adjusted camera 160, for example, the alignment system of the polarizer array 150 and the camera 160 also includes an electrically rotating polarizer 170 arranged above the built-in track rotating clamp 130.

[0093] The camera 160 is further configured to capture multiple images at different angles when the electrically rotatable polarizer 170 is rotated to different angles.

[0094] The controller 110 is specifically configured to determine, based on the multiple images captured at different angles by the adjusted camera 160, the brightness corresponding to each of the multiple images and the extinction ratio corresponding to the adjusted camera 160; and, based on the brightness corresponding to each of the multiple images, determine whether there are a preset number of images each having a brightness greater than a third brightness threshold, and a brightness difference between the preset images less than a fourth brightness threshold, and determine whether the extinction ratio corresponding to the adjusted camera 160 is greater than or equal to the extinction ratio threshold.

[0095] Specifically, when the controller 110 determines that there are a preset number of images each having a brightness greater than a third brightness threshold, and the brightness difference between the preset images is less than a fourth brightness threshold, and the extinction ratio is greater than or equal to the extinction ratio threshold, it indicates that the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera 160 and the polarization sub-units in the polarizer array 150 are aligned, the controller 110 controls the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to stop executing the above-mentioned S1-S3 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera 160.

[0096] Specifically, when the controller 110 determines that there are no preset number of images each having a brightness greater than the third brightness threshold, and the brightness difference between the preset images is less than the fourth brightness threshold, and / or the extinction ratio is less than the extinction ratio threshold, it indicates that the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera 160 are not aligned with the polarization subunits in the polarizer array 150. The controller 110 then controls the second automatic displacement control platform 140 to repeatedly execute S1-S3 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera 160 until, among the preset number of images captured by the adjusted camera 160, there are a preset number of images each having a brightness greater than the third brightness threshold, and the brightness difference between the preset images is less than the fourth brightness threshold, and the extinction ratio is greater than or equal to the extinction ratio threshold.

[0097] Among them, the value of the third brightness threshold, the value of the fourth brightness threshold and the value of the extinction ratio threshold can be set according to actual needs. Here, the embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific restrictions on the value of the third brightness threshold, the value of the fourth brightness threshold and the value of the extinction ratio threshold.

[0098] Based on the above description, in the process of the controller 110 controlling the first displacement automatic control platform 120 and / or the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to reduce the distance between the polarizer array 150 and the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160 in the vertical direction, it is considered that in addition to aligning the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera 160 with the polarization sub-units in the polarizer array 150, the polarizer array 150 also needs to be movably adhered to the upper surface of the photosensitive target surface. For example, the alignment system of the polarizer array 150 and the camera 160 also includes an automatic glue-dropping device connected to the controller 110.

[0099] The controller 110 is configured to control the automatic glue-dropping device to drip curing glue onto the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160 when the distance between the polarizer array 150 and the camera 160 is equal to a second distance threshold, as the polarizer array 150 gradually approaches the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160. The curing glue, as displayed by the real-time image displayed by the camera 160, gradually spreads onto the photosensitive target surface, so that the polarizer array 150 is movably adhered to the upper surface of the photosensitive target surface by the spread curing glue. In this way, the polarizer array 150 can be encapsulated by the spread curing glue. The second distance threshold is greater than the first distance threshold.

[0100] The amount of curing glue is set according to the area of the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160. For example, the curing glue can be UV curing glue or other curing glue, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0101] After the polarizer array 150 is packaged by spreading the curing adhesive, a packaged polarization camera can be obtained. The brightness of the image captured by the packaged polarization camera is uniform and there is no obvious moiré pattern. For example, see Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 Schematic diagram of an image captured by a packaged polarization camera according to an embodiment of the present invention. After the image captured by the packaged polarization camera is enlarged, the enlarged image can be seen in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The image captured by the packaged polarization camera provided by the embodiment of the present invention is magnified, combined with Figure 8 The four polarization states of one unit of the packaged polarization camera can be clearly seen.

[0102] In addition, the extinction ratio of the packaged polarization camera is also greatly improved. For example, Figure 9The distribution diagram of the extinction ratio of the packaged polarization camera provided by the embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 The X-axis and Y-axis are the horizontal and vertical directions of the polarization microscopy image, respectively, and the Z-axis is the measured extinction ratio. In the embodiment of the present invention, the extinction ratio of the polarization camera is about 20. Figure 7 、 Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 It can be clearly seen that the alignment system for the polarizer array 150 and the camera 160 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can accurately align the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera 160 with the polarization sub-units in the polarizer array 150, effectively reducing signal crosstalk, and the extinction ratio can reach above 20. Moreover, packaging based on the precise alignment results in images captured by the polarization camera with uniform brightness and good imaging quality, which meets the needs of automated packaging and integration of polarization cameras, thereby satisfying the packaging requirements of polarization cameras.

[0103] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present invention, the alignment system of the polarizer array 150 and the camera 160 includes: a controller 110, a first displacement automatic control platform 120 connected to the controller 110, a built-in track rotation clamp 130, and a second displacement automatic control platform 140, a polarizer array 150 disposed below the built-in track rotation clamp 130, and a camera 160 fixedly disposed on the second displacement automatic control platform 140. When accurately aligning the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera 160 with the polarization subunits in the polarizer array 150, the controller 110 controls the first displacement automatic control platform 120 and / or the second displacement automatic control platform 140 to adjust the distance between the polarizer array 150 and the photosensitive target surface of the camera 160 in the vertical direction based on the positions of the camera 160 and the polarizer array 150, and controls the built-in track rotation clamp 130 to adjust the horizontal rotation angle of the polarizer array 150 until the distance is less than or equal to a first distance threshold. After the adjustment, the real-time display image of the camera 160 includes the polarizer array 150. , and the clarity corresponding to the polarizer array 150 is greater than the first clarity threshold; the controller 110 controls the second automatic displacement control platform 140 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera 160 based on the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera 160, so that the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera 160 after adjustment are aligned with the polarization sub-units in the polarizer array 150. In this way, by adjusting the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera 160 based on the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera 160, the pixels of the camera 160 can be better controlled to be precisely aligned with the polarization units in the polarizer array 150, thereby effectively improving the alignment accuracy.

[0104] Figure 10This is a flow chart of a method for aligning a polarizer array with a camera's photosensitive target surface provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This method for aligning a polarizer array with a camera's photosensitive target surface can be performed by the aforementioned alignment system for aligning a polarizer array with a camera's photosensitive target surface. For example, see Figure 10 As shown, the method for aligning the polarizer array with the photosensitive target surface of the camera may include:

[0105] S1001. Adjust the distance between the polarizer array and the photosensitive target surface of the camera in the vertical direction based on the position of the camera and the polarizer array, and adjust the horizontal rotation angle of the polarizer array until the distance is less than or equal to a first distance threshold. After the adjustment, the real-time display image of the camera includes the polarizer array, and the clarity corresponding to the polarizer array is greater than the first clarity threshold.

[0106] S1002 : Based on the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera, adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera, so that the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera are aligned with the polarization subunits in the polarizer array after the adjustment.

[0107] Optionally, adjusting the distance between the polarizer array and the photosensitive target surface of the camera in the vertical direction based on the position of the camera and the polarizer array, and adjusting the horizontal rotation angle of the polarizer array, includes:

[0108] Based on the position of the camera and the polarizer array, the distance between the polarizer array and the camera's photosensitive target surface is reduced in the vertical direction. As the polarizer array gradually approaches the camera's photosensitive target surface, the horizontal rotation angle of the polarizer array is adjusted. After adjustment, the edge of the polarizer array is parallel to the corresponding edge of the camera's real-time display image.

[0109] Continue to gradually reduce the distance between the polarizer array and the photosensitive target surface of the camera in the vertical direction until the distance is less than or equal to the first distance threshold.

[0110] Optionally, adjusting the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera based on the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera, so that pixels in the real-time display image of the camera are aligned with polarization subunits in the polarizer array after the adjustment, includes:

[0111] S1. Adjust the rotation angle of the camera, and after the adjustment, the brightness difference of the real-time display image of the camera is less than a first brightness threshold.

[0112] S2. Adjust the horizontal position of the camera, so that the brightness of the real-time display image of the camera after adjustment is greater than a second brightness threshold.

[0113] S3. Based on the gradually enlarged real-time display image of the camera, continue to adjust the horizontal position of the camera until the pixels in the real-time display image of the camera after adjustment are aligned with the polarization subunits in the polarizer array.

[0114] Optionally, based on the gradually enlarged real-time display image of the camera, continuously adjusting the horizontal position of the camera until pixels in the adjusted real-time display image of the camera are aligned with polarization subunits in the polarizer array, comprising:

[0115] Based on the gradually enlarged real-time display image of the camera, the horizontal position of the camera is continuously adjusted, and based on the multiple images at different angles captured by the adjusted camera, the brightness corresponding to each of the multiple images and the extinction ratio corresponding to the adjusted camera are respectively determined.

[0116] According to the brightness corresponding to each of the multiple images and the extinction ratio corresponding to the adjusted camera, it is determined whether to repeat the above steps S1 to S3 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera.

[0117] Optionally, determining whether to repeatedly perform S1-S3 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera according to the brightness corresponding to each of the multiple images and the extinction ratio corresponding to the adjusted camera includes:

[0118] Based on the brightness corresponding to each of the multiple images, it is determined whether there are a preset number of images whose corresponding brightness is greater than a third brightness threshold, and the brightness difference between the preset images is less than a fourth brightness threshold, and whether the extinction ratio corresponding to the adjusted camera is greater than or equal to the extinction ratio threshold.

[0119] When it is determined that there are a preset number of images, each of which has a brightness greater than the third brightness threshold, and the brightness difference between the preset images is less than the fourth brightness threshold, and the extinction ratio is greater than or equal to the extinction ratio threshold, stop executing the above S1-S3 to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera.

[0120] If it is determined that there are not a preset number of images each having a brightness greater than the third brightness threshold, and the brightness difference between the preset images is less than the fourth brightness threshold, and / or the extinction ratio is less than the extinction ratio threshold, the above steps S1-S3 are repeatedly performed to adjust the rotation angle and horizontal position of the camera until, among the preset number of images captured by the adjusted camera, there are a preset number of images each having a brightness greater than the third brightness threshold, and the brightness difference between the preset images is less than the fourth brightness threshold, and the extinction ratio is greater than or equal to the extinction ratio threshold.
