Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical imaging technology, specifically to an ultra-high-definition large-target thermal drift stabilization assisted driving optical system. Background Technology
[0002] Nowadays, automotive driver assistance systems (ADAS) are receiving increasing attention, and in-vehicle ADAS are constantly evolving. These systems utilize sensors such as cameras and radar installed in vehicles to perceive the surrounding environment and collect data. After identifying, detecting, and tracking static and dynamic objects, the system's calculations and analysis allow drivers and passengers to anticipate potential situations and dangers, effectively avoiding safety hazards caused by blind spots and reducing the likelihood of traffic accidents. The market demand for in-vehicle ADAS is growing, and the technical requirements for ADAS optical systems are also increasing. However, existing technologies generally suffer from problems such as a target area smaller than 7mm, low overall image brightness, insufficient image quality, purple fringing at the edges of photographed objects, and poor imaging performance in high or low temperature environments. For example, Chinese patent application number 201611209922.9 discloses a large-aperture high-definition optical system and its application lens; however, actual testing and research have revealed the following shortcomings of this existing technology:
[0003] 1. The lens has a relative aperture of 1.7 and a relatively small aperture, resulting in low brightness of the video image in darker environments.
[0004] 2. It is compatible with 1 / 3" sensors, but the target area is small and cannot be matched with large-target high-definition chips.
[0005] 3. As can be seen from the basic parameter table of the optical system in the existing technical solution, all six lenses are made of glass. This all-glass structure does not use high and low temperature resistant lens materials, and its thermal drift is unstable in high and low temperature environments. Summary of the Invention

The use of low-dispersion materials optimizes the purple fringing effect at object edges, better reproducing the true scene. Simultaneously, the entire optical system has thermal compensation, maintaining thermal drift stability at high temperatures of 85℃ and low temperatures of -40℃, ensuring resolution requirements at both high and low temperatures. If a spherical glass system were used, the total number of lenses in the optical system would reach 9-10 or more.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 This is a modulation transfer function (MTF) curve for the visible light band, representing the overall resolving power of an optical system. The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency, in cycles per millimeter (mm), and the vertical axis represents the MTF value. The MTF value is used to evaluate the image quality of a lens, ranging from 0 to 1. It is worth noting that the optical transfer function is a relatively accurate, intuitive, and common way to evaluate the image quality of an optical system. The higher and smoother the curve, the better the image quality and the stronger the ability to reproduce the true image. Figure 5 It can be seen that in the visible light band, at a spatial frequency of 100 lp / mm, the MTF in the imaging region near the center is >0.7, indicating good imaging quality. Figure 2 The defocus curve shows that the lens has good MTF concentration, facilitating focusing. The optical system provided in this specific implementation corrects for various aberrations, such as spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, field curvature, magnification chromatic aberration, and positional chromatic aberration, thereby improving the final image quality; from Figures 2 to 7 It can be seen that the defocus curve and MTF at both high and low temperatures meet the requirements of high resolution, the focus change of the defocus curve is small, and the thermal drift effect is stable.
[0085] Through the above technical solutions, the optical system provided by this invention, by employing an optical system composed of lenses with specific structural shapes and reasonable optical power distribution, achieves a full-image height of 9.6mm. Combined with a large aperture lens, it can be matched with a 1 / 1.9” large-area chip, supporting 12M high-definition video recording, meeting high demands for imaging quality. Furthermore, the high aperture of f / 1.6 allows for the absorption of more light, effectively improving nighttime visibility. In addition, the structural shape of the optical lens system provided by this invention, along with parameters such as the Abbe coefficient of the optical glass material, is well-matched to imaging conditions. The two sets of cemented glass lenses effectively reduce the spherical shape of the entire lens system. The system addresses aberrations such as coma, astigmatism, field curvature, positional chromatic aberration, and magnification chromatic aberration, improving the final image quality and chromatic aberration correction. The design utilizes low-dispersion materials, optimizing the purple fringing effect at object edges for better reproduction of realistic scenes. Simultaneously, the entire optical system exhibits thermal compensation, maintaining thermal drift stability at high temperatures (85℃) and low temperatures (-40℃), ensuring resolution requirements at both high and low temperatures. If a spherical glass system were used, the total number of lenses in the optical system would reach 9-10 or more.
