Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to image processing technology, and in particular to an image processing method, system and device for eliminating laser delamination. Background Art

[0002] At present, during laser surgery, if the release time (pulse width) of the laser within the exposure time of a frame of image is very short, such as hundreds of microseconds (us), only a portion of the exposure lines will produce a "response", and the remaining exposure lines will still be normally exposed. For example, during holmium laser surgery, if the release time (pulse width) of the holmium laser within the exposure time of a frame of image is very short, such as hundreds of microseconds (us), only a portion of the exposure lines will produce a "response", and the remaining exposure lines will still be normally exposed.

[0003] This situation will result in stratification in the final image frame (one part includes the laser stratification area, and the other part includes the normal image area). The laser stratification area has a high brightness or even overexposed, and will occasionally show dynamic "light bars" when the image frames are displayed later, which will affect the doctor's operating field during laser surgery, interfere with the doctor's judgment, and fail to achieve the expected surgical effect.

[0036] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application.

[0037] The terms used in this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in this application are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.

[0038] As described above, in laser surgery, if the release time (pulse width) of the laser within the exposure time of a frame of image is often very short (only a few hundred us), only a portion of the exposure rows will produce a "response", and the remaining exposure rows will still be normally exposed, resulting in stratification in the final frame of image (referred to as laser stratification). This laser stratification will cause a frame of image to be divided into two areas: the laser stratification area and the normal image area. The area size and position of the laser stratification area are not fixed, but the brightness of the laser stratification area is high or even overexposed. Taking holmium laser surgery as an example, stratification will occur in a frame of image collected during holmium laser surgery (referred to as holmium laser stratification). This holmium laser stratification will cause a frame of image to be divided into two areas: the holmium laser stratification area and the normal image area. Figure 1a An example of an image showing an area where holmium laser delamination is present. Figure 1b An image of normal exposure is shown as an example.

[0039] For the above-mentioned images with laser stratification, such as holmium laser stratification, dynamic "light bars" will appear from time to time when they are displayed, which will cause visual discomfort to doctors who are performing laser surgery, such as holmium laser surgery, and affect the operating field, interfere with the doctor's judgment, and fail to achieve the expected surgical effect. To solve this technical problem, this embodiment provides an image processing method for eliminating laser stratification, such as holmium laser stratification, which can eliminate laser stratification in image frames, and is described by example below:

[0040] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 The method flow chart provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the image acquisition device in laser surgery. As an embodiment, the image acquisition device may be an endoscopic imaging system in an endoscope, such as a set of lenses in an endoscope.

[0041] In this embodiment, a communication connection needs to be established between the image acquisition device used in laser surgery and the laser device. When applied to holmium laser surgery, the endoscopic imaging system establishes a communication connection with the holmium laser device. This embodiment does not specifically limit the communication connection method, which includes but is not limited to an Ethernet port, a serial port, a CAN bus, Bluetooth, etc.

[0042] Based on the above description, Figure 2 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0043] Step 201, when an exposure completion event is detected, it is determined whether it is necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal according to the current image output frame rate N of the image acquisition device and the laser emission frequency M of the laser device.

[0044] In this embodiment, the laser device in the laser surgery, after detecting an external trigger (also called a laser emission trigger), transmits the laser excitation signal to the image acquisition device through the above communication connection, so that the image acquisition device executes Figure 2 The process shown.

[0045] Specifically, after receiving the laser excitation signal, the image acquisition device starts the exposure signal detection. In this embodiment, the image acquisition process of the image acquisition device, such as a camera, includes the following two parts: the first part is the automatic exposure time (Exposure), and the second part is the Readout time. The readout time refers to the time when the sensor in the image acquisition device outputs the image after the image is exposed, and this time is generally about 20 to 30ms. That is, the time to acquire a frame of image (also called the image output time) = exposure time + readout time. Figure 3 An example is shown of the time of drawing output.

[0046] Based on the above description, in this embodiment, as described in step 201, when the image acquisition device detects the exposure completion event, it will determine whether it is necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal based on the current image output frame rate N of the image acquisition device and the laser emission frequency M of the laser device. Here, the laser emission frequency M can be the frequency of laser excitation within one second (s). For example, if the laser emission frequency M is 15HZ, it means that the laser will be excited 15 times within 1s. In this embodiment, the laser emission frequency M of the laser device can be carried by the laser device in the above-mentioned laser excitation signal and sent to the image acquisition device, or it can be pre-configured in the image acquisition device, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0047] In the above description, the exposure completion event is, for example, receiving an exposure completion signal, a signal for the start of Readout, a Readout enable signal, etc. Optionally, in this embodiment, an exposure completion signal is generated when each frame of automatic exposure ends, and the exposure completion signal is equivalent to the signal for the start of Readout, also called a Readout enable signal.

[0048] It can be seen from step 201 that in this embodiment, the laser device in the laser surgery, such as the holmium laser device, does not directly perform laser emission even when the above-mentioned laser emission trigger is detected, but the image acquisition device is linked, and the image acquisition device determines whether it is necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal based on the current image output frame rate N and the laser emission frequency M of the laser device. As for how to determine whether it is necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal based on the current image output frame rate N of the image acquisition device and the laser emission frequency M of the laser device, the following will be described by example, and will not be repeated here.

[0049] Step 202, under the premise of determining that the laser device needs to be controlled to emit a laser signal, a laser enable signal is sent through the communication connection established between the image acquisition device and the laser device, so that the laser device emits a laser signal after detecting the laser enable signal.

[0050] In this embodiment, the laser device used in laser surgery, such as a holmium laser device, performs laser emission after detecting the above-mentioned laser enable signal.

[0051] It should be noted that this step 202 is executed under the premise of detecting the exposure completion event. Based on this premise, the time when the laser equipment in laser surgery, such as the holmium laser equipment, emits the laser will be within the above-mentioned Readout time, and the exposure process will definitely not excite the laser, which causes the image exposure and laser excitation to be misaligned, and the current frame image generated will not produce the laser stratification phenomenon caused by laser excitation.

[0052] So far, completed Figure 2 The process shown.

[0053] pass Figure 2 It can be seen from the shown process that in this embodiment, the timing of laser device stimulating laser is controlled by establishing communication between image acquisition devices such as endoscopic camera systems in laser surgery and laser devices such as holmium laser devices, so as to control the time of laser emission by laser devices such as holmium laser devices in laser surgery to be within the above-mentioned Readout time, thereby avoiding laser device stimulating laser during image exposure, and ultimately avoiding (or misaligning) image exposure and laser excitation, ensuring that the generated current frame image will not produce laser stratification caused by laser excitation, thereby eliminating the laser stratification phenomenon in the acquired current frame image, eliminating the doctor's visual impairment, and providing a good surgical viewing experience.

[0054] The following describes how to determine whether it is necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal according to the current image output frame rate N of the image acquisition device and the laser emission frequency M of the laser device in the above step 201:

[0055] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 The step 201 provided in the embodiment of the present application is implemented as a flowchart. Figure 4 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0056] Step 401, determining an image frame-laser correlation relationship according to a current image output frame rate N of an image acquisition device and a laser emission frequency M of a laser device.

[0057] In this embodiment, the image frame-laser association relationship is used to indicate that the image acquisition device needs to control the laser device to emit n laser signals every time it acquires m image frames.

[0058] As an embodiment, there are many ways to determine the image frame-laser association relationship based on the current image output frame rate N of the image acquisition device and the laser emission frequency M of the laser device, such as: calculating the greatest common factor of M and N, dividing the numerator and denominator of M / N by the greatest common factor, and obtaining m / n, where m is greater than n, and n is greater than or equal to 1; determining the image frame-laser association relationship based on m / n. If N is 30 and M is 20, then n is 3 and m is 2, which means that the laser is excited twice every 3 frames, that is, the image acquisition device needs to generate the above-mentioned laser enable signal for 2 frames of images out of every 3 frames of images acquired.

[0059] Step 402: Determine whether it is currently necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal based on the image frame-laser association relationship.

[0060] As an embodiment, there are many ways to determine whether it is currently necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal based on the image frame-laser association relationship, such as: obtaining the first laser excitation signal sent by the laser device through the above-mentioned communication connection under the premise that the current image output frame rate of the image acquisition device is N and the laser emission frequency of the laser device is M; taking the image frame collected after receiving the first laser excitation signal as the first frame; starting from the first frame, determining whether it is currently necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal according to the above-mentioned image frame-laser association relationship.

[0061] Optionally, there are many ways to implement the above-mentioned method of determining whether it is currently necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal starting from the first frame according to the image frame-laser association relationship, such as detecting the frame number K of the target image frame corresponding to the above-mentioned exposure completion event; the frame number K refers to the frame obtained by counting from the above-mentioned first frame; based on K, the current control cycle is determined; wherein, if K is greater than or equal to n, K / n is rounded to obtain a calculation result p, and the current control cycle is determined to be the p+1th control cycle, and p is greater than or equal to 1; if K is less than n, the current control cycle is determined to be the 1st control cycle; according to the image frame-laser association relationship and the order of the current image frame in the current control cycle, it is determined whether it is currently necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal.

[0062] Here, according to the image frame-laser association relationship and the order of the current image frame in the current control cycle, it is determined whether it is necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal at present, for example: if it is determined whether to emit a laser in accordance with the order of precedence in each control cycle, if the order number of the current image frame in the current control cycle is less than or equal to m, it is determined that it is necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal, otherwise, it is determined that it is not necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal at present. For example, the image frame-laser association relationship indicates that the laser is excited twice every 3 frames. If the current image frame is the second frame image in the current control cycle, based on the image frame-laser association relationship (indicating that the laser is excited twice every 3 frames), it can be determined that it is necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal at present; and if the current image frame is the third frame image in the current control cycle, because the first two frames have determined that the laser device needs to be controlled to emit a laser signal, then based on the image frame-laser association relationship (indicating that the laser is excited twice every 3 frames), it can be determined that it is not necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal at present. It should be noted that this is just an example and is not intended to be limiting.

[0063] So far, completed Figure 4 The process shown.

[0064] pass Figure 4 The process shown implements how to determine whether it is necessary to control the laser device to emit a laser signal based on the current image output frame rate N of the image acquisition device and the laser emission frequency M of the laser device.

[0065] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, as described above, the laser device in the laser surgery will detect the laser stop trigger after detecting the laser emission trigger. Once the laser stop trigger is detected, an excitation termination signal will be sent to the image acquisition device through the above connection. The image acquisition device ends the control of the laser device emitting the laser after detecting the laser termination signal sent by the laser device through the above communication connection.

[0066] The above is a description of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application from the perspective of an image acquisition device such as an endoscopic imaging system in laser surgery. The following is a description of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application from the perspective of a laser device such as a holmium laser device in laser surgery:

[0067] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 Another method flow chart provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a laser device used in laser surgery, such as a holmium laser device, which establishes a communication connection with an image acquisition device used to acquire images in laser surgery, such as an endoscopic imaging system.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0069] Step 501: receiving a laser enable signal sent by an image acquisition device through a communication connection established between the image acquisition device and the laser device.

[0070] In this embodiment, the image acquisition device sends a laser enable signal based on Figure 2 For example, when an exposure completion event is detected, based on the current image output frame rate N of the image acquisition device and the holmium laser emission frequency M of the laser device, it is determined that the laser device needs to be controlled to emit a laser signal, and a laser enable signal is sent to the laser device through a communication connection. For details, see Figure 2 The process shown.

[0071] Step 502: emitting a laser signal based on a laser enable signal.

[0072] When the laser device receives a laser enable signal, it will emit a laser signal based on the laser enable signal.

[0073] Based on the laser enable signal described above, it can be known that in this embodiment, the timing of laser device stimulating laser is controlled by establishing communication between image acquisition devices such as endoscopic camera systems in laser surgery and laser devices such as holmium laser devices, so as to control the time of laser emission by laser devices such as holmium laser devices in laser surgery to be within the above-mentioned Readout time, thereby avoiding the laser device stimulating laser during the image exposure process, and ultimately avoiding (or misaligning) image exposure and laser excitation, ensuring that the generated current frame image will not produce laser stratification caused by laser excitation, thereby eliminating the laser stratification phenomenon in the acquired current frame image, eliminating the doctor's visual impairment, and providing a good surgical viewing experience.
