Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of optics, electronics, and mechanical manufacturing, and in particular to a method for manufacturing an image correction optical lens for a vehicle-mounted camera. Background Technology

[0002] In typical automotive rearview mirrors, the camera lens exhibits image distortion, meaning the image appears warped to some extent. This distortion is particularly noticeable when using a wide-angle lens, with the warping increasing from the center outwards. The problem stems from the fact that the camera's optical lens has a fixed magnification. This magnification changes with the angle between the beam and the principal axis. According to optical imaging principles, this results in image distortion, a physical characteristic of optical lenses. The direct cause is the difference in magnification between the edge and center of the lens. The following invention patents all contain image distortion correction or compensation technologies: CN202011412713.0 Method, device, equipment and storage medium for distortion correction of vehicle-mounted fisheye camera; CN201910435044.X Method, system and medium for camera distortion correction based on B-spline surface fitting; CN201510514238.0 A method for accurately correcting image distortion of ultra-wide-angle camera; CN201820856836.5 A car panoramic camera lens with small image distortion; CN201810403187.8 Image distortion correction method and device, computer-readable medium and electronic device; CN201510977380.9 Method for eliminating image distortion in augmented reality integrated imaging 3D display. However, all of them adopt symmetrical structures or lens designs using rotating structures. For CMOS image sensors with rectangular windows, this does not fundamentally solve the problem of the magnification ratio of the length × width rectangle, and further inventions are needed to achieve this. Typically, in images captured by wide-angle devices, the closer the central portion is to the center of the image circle, the greater the magnification; conversely, the farther the top and bottom portions are from the center, the smaller the magnification, resulting in image distortion. Current technologies often employ software-based image correction methods. For wide-angle lenses and lenses with large field-of-view lenses, software performs calculations on the image to correct distortion. However, the software calculations and image information storage consume significant time, severely impacting the time delay of electronic rearview mirrors. Therefore, software-based image distortion correction methods face the technical challenge of time delay. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a method for manufacturing an optical lens with image correction function, which realizes the optical lens to correct image distortion, saves the time of software to correct image distortion, improves the CMS of electronic rearview mirror, reduces system latency, ensures the real-time characteristics of electronic rearview mirror, and also saves software programming and calculation time.

[0013] Set points B1, C1, D1 and E1, points O, A0, B1, C1, D1 and E1 are located in the same plane, and the line connecting points O and E1 is perpendicular to the Y-axis. Points O, A0, B1, C1, D1 and E1 are connected in sequence to form the first section. The first section is rotated 360 degrees around the Y-axis to obtain an optical convex lens with an upper and lower structure.

Points O, A0, B2, C2, D2, E2, and F2 are connected sequentially to form a second section. The second section is rotated 360 degrees around the Y-axis to obtain a horizontal optical convex lens.

[0033] According to ISO 16505 Road vehicles—Ergonomics and performance aspects of camera surveillance systems—Requirements and test procedures, the magnification of the third corrected camera with a diagonal optical convex lens is set to 0.3464 at an imaging distance of 20 meters. The magnification of the camera lens group with the diagonal structure is adjusted as follows:

[0034] A third corrective camera based on a diagonal optical convex lens is used to image the standard image to obtain a third imaging image. The standard points g, h and i in the standard image are imaged by the third corrective camera based on a diagonal optical convex lens and correspond to the moving points g', h' and i' in the third imaging image.

Secondly, using general mechanical part design software, such as three-dimensional mechanical part design software SolidWorks, Pro / Engineer, and Siemens NX (UG), the eight surfaces are mixed to form an integral optical lens, thus generating the first surface-mixed optical lens.

[0043] Furthermore, the fifth lens in the basic camera constructed in step S2 is replaced by a first curved surface hybrid optical lens to obtain a corrected optical camera.

[0044] Furthermore, in step S6, the forward-shifting and magnifying base camera includes a first lens, a fifth lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a second lens, and a CMOS image sensor;

[0045] The generated second curved surface is mixed to form an optical lens, which replaces the fifth lens in the constructed forward-magnifying basic camera to obtain a forward-magnifying corrective optical camera.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0047] (1) The corrective optical camera and the forward-shifting magnification corrective optical camera constructed in this invention use two magnification methods, horizontal magnification and vertical magnification, to correct image distortion.
