Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of image processing technology, and in particular to an image acquisition method, apparatus and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] To acquire clear images at different times, image acquisition devices typically use dual CMOS image sensors to sense the light information of the target object. A beam splitter separates the infrared and visible light from the acquired light information. All the separated infrared light is input into an infrared CMOS image sensor, and all the separated visible light is input into a CMOS image sensor that filters out infrared light. The image processing unit then fuses the color image and the infrared brightness image, thus obtaining a high-brightness image even under low white light illumination.

[0003] In practical applications, the light information collected by dual CMOS image sensors is inconsistent. When images are collected under high white light illumination, the exposure parameters of the dual CMOS image sensors are the same, which will result in the same exposure time for the dual CMOS image sensors. Therefore, the fused image will be overexposed, resulting in an unclear fused image.

[0004] Furthermore, to obtain a clear fused image, the exposure parameters of the dual CMOS image sensors will be adjusted so that the exposure times of the two CMOS image sensors are different. A schematic diagram of the exposure times of the dual CMOS image sensors is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, in Figure 1 In the process, when the exposure time of image sensor 1 reaches t, image sensor 2 begins to expose. If there is a moving object within the time t, it will cause insufficient brightness or color in the fused image, or the image of the moving object will be lost, which will also result in an unclear fused image. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides an image acquisition method, apparatus, and electronic device for improving the clarity of fused images obtained by image acquisition devices.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides an image acquisition method, the method comprising:

[0007] The first exposure parameters of the first sensor of the image acquisition device and the second exposure parameters of the second sensor are obtained, wherein the first exposure parameters and the second exposure parameters are different;

[0008] The first exposure duration is calculated based on the first exposure parameters, and the second exposure duration is calculated based on the second exposure parameters;

[0009] The first image corresponding to the first exposure duration is obtained according to the preset time difference, and the second image corresponding to the second exposure duration is obtained.

[0010] The first image and the second image are fused and denoised to obtain a fused image.

[0011] By using the above method, the first exposure time and the second exposure time are evenly distributed during the process of the image acquisition device obtaining the fused image, thereby reducing the probability of the fused image being unclear due to uneven sensor exposure time difference in the acquired image, and thus improving the clarity of the fused image.

[0012] In one possible design, acquiring the first image corresponding to the first exposure duration and the second image corresponding to the second exposure duration according to a preset time difference includes:

[0013] The first light information corresponding to the first exposure time is determined, and the second light information corresponding to the second exposure time is determined;

[0014] The first sensor is controlled to generate a first image based on the first light information, and the second sensor is controlled to generate a second image based on the second light information.

[0018] The initial exposure time difference is calculated based on the first endpoint value and the third endpoint value, and the end exposure time difference is calculated based on the second endpoint value and the fourth endpoint value;

[0019] The start exposure time difference and the end exposure time difference are controlled to be equal to the preset time difference.

[0020] By using the above method, the start exposure time difference and the end exposure time difference are made equal, and the first exposure time and the second exposure time are evenly distributed within the image acquisition period, thereby ensuring that the accuracy of the fused image can be improved.

[0021] In one possible design, the step of fusing and denoising the first image and the second image to obtain a fused image includes:

[0022] The first image and the second image are respectively subjected to image noise reduction processing to obtain the first target graphic and the second target image;

[0023] The target first image and the target second image are fused based on a preset fusion method to generate a third image;

[0024] The third image is subjected to a preset image enhancement process, and the enhanced third image is used as the fused image.

[0025] By using the above method, the first graphic and the second image are subjected to noise reduction and enhancement processing, making the fused image determined based on the first image and the second image clearer and ensuring the clarity of the fused image.

[0026] Secondly, this application provides an image acquisition device, the device comprising:

[0027] The acquisition module is used to acquire the first exposure parameters of the first sensor of the image acquisition device and the second exposure parameters of the second sensor;

[0028] The calculation module is used to calculate a first exposure duration based on the first exposure parameters and a second exposure duration based on the second exposure parameters;

[0029] The image module is used to acquire a first image corresponding to the first exposure duration according to a preset time difference, and to acquire a second image corresponding to the second exposure duration;

[0030] The fusion module is used to perform fusion and noise reduction processing on the first image and the second image to obtain a fused image.

[0031] In one possible design, the image module is specifically used to determine first light information corresponding to the first exposure time and second light information corresponding to the second exposure time, control the first sensor to generate a first image based on the first light information, and control the second sensor to generate a second image based on the second light information.

[0032] In one possible design, the image module is further configured to determine a first endpoint value and a second endpoint value corresponding to the first exposure duration, and to determine a third endpoint value and a fourth endpoint value corresponding to the second exposure duration, calculate an initial exposure time difference based on the first endpoint value and the third endpoint value, and calculate an end exposure time difference based on the second endpoint value and the fourth endpoint value, and control the start exposure time difference and the end exposure time difference to be equal to the preset time difference.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific operational methods in the method embodiments can also be applied to the device embodiments or system embodiments. It should be noted that in the description of this application, "multiple" is understood as "at least two". "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. A connected to B can represent: A and B directly connected, and A and B connected through C. Furthermore, in the description of this application, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only for distinguishing the purpose of description and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or order.

[0045] In previous technologies, because the exposure times of the dual CMOS image sensors in the image acquisition device were different during image acquisition, and the distribution of the exposure times of each dual CMOS image sensor was different during the image acquisition process, reference... Figure 1 The time difference between the start and end exposure times is t. If there is a moving object within t, the fused image will be insufficient in brightness or color, or the image of the moving object will be lost, resulting in an unclear fused image.

[0046] To address the problems described above, this application provides an image acquisition method for obtaining clearer fused images. The methods and apparatus described in this application are based on the same technical concept. Since the principles by which the methods and apparatus solve the problems are similar, embodiments of the apparatus and methods can be referred to interchangeably, and repeated details will not be repeated.

[0047] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 This application provides an image acquisition method that can acquire a clearer fused image. The implementation process of this method is as follows:

[0049] Step S21: Obtain the first exposure parameters of the first sensor of the image acquisition device and the second exposure parameters of the second sensor.

[0050] When an image acquisition device acquires a fused image, the beam splitter in the image acquisition device needs to distinguish the light information acquired by the sensor according to two dimensions: color and brightness, and generate color images and black and white images respectively. The clarity of the color images and black and white images will affect the clarity of the fused image.

[0051] The shutter of the image acquisition device can be a rolling shutter. The exposure method of a rolling shutter is a series of progressive exposures, line by line. For details on progressive exposure, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 In terms of exposure modes, the shutter of the image acquisition device can also be a global shutter, where the sensor exposes all pixels at the same time.

[0052] Because the color path and luminance path of the image acquisition device have different supplementary lighting or photosensitive characteristics, different exposure parameters need to be set in the sensors of the color path and luminance path. The first sensor can be the color path sensor and the second sensor can be the luminance path sensor. The image acquisition device obtains the first exposure parameter of the first sensor and the second exposure parameter of the second sensor. The first exposure parameter and the second exposure parameter are different.

[0053] Step S22: Calculate the first exposure duration based on the first exposure parameters, and calculate the second exposure duration based on the second exposure parameters.

[0054] Substituting the first exposure parameter into the exposure time formula allows us to calculate the first exposure duration, and substituting the second exposure parameter into the exposure time formula allows us to calculate the second exposure duration. Since the exposure time formula is a technique known to those skilled in the art, it will not be elaborated upon here.

[0055] Step S23: Obtain the first image corresponding to the first exposure time and the second image corresponding to the second exposure time according to the preset time difference.

[0056] After the image acquisition device determines the first exposure time and the second exposure time, the first sensor will collect the first light information during the first exposure time, and the second sensor will collect the second light information during the second exposure time. The A / D converter in the image acquisition device will convert the light signals in the first light information and the second light information into charges. The stronger the light signal, the more charges are converted. The image acquisition device can control the first sensor to generate the first image based on the first light information, and control the second sensor to generate the second image based on the second light information.

[0057] Because the start and end exposure time differences of the CMOS image sensor are unevenly distributed within the exposure time period of the image acquisition device, in order to prevent insufficient color or brightness imbalance in the fused image caused by uneven distribution, a first endpoint value and a second endpoint value corresponding to the first exposure time, as well as a third endpoint value and a fourth endpoint value for the second exposure time, are determined. The first endpoint value is the time when the first sensor starts exposure from the first row, i.e., the pixel reset time of the first row. The second endpoint value is the time when the second sensor ends exposure, starts converting the first line information into charge and outputs the first image, i.e., the pixel readout time. The third endpoint value is the time when the second sensor starts exposure from the first row. The fourth endpoint value is the time when the second sensor ends exposure, starts converting the second light information into charge and outputs the second image.

[0058] Based on the first endpoint value and the third endpoint value determined above, the initial exposure time difference when the first sensor and the second sensor start exposure can be calculated, and the end exposure time difference when the first sensor and the second sensor end exposure can be calculated based on the second endpoint value and the fourth endpoint value determined above. In this embodiment of the application, the initial exposure time difference and the end exposure time difference can be made equal.

[0059] The image acquisition device can acquire a first image corresponding to a first exposure duration according to a preset time difference, and acquire a second image corresponding to a second exposure duration according to a preset time difference. The preset time difference represents the acquisition duration interval between the first image and the second image. The preset time difference can also be the end exposure time difference, or it can be the start exposure time difference when the image acquisition device acquires each frame of image.

[0060] For example: A diagram illustrating the exposure time for the first and second sensors respectively is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 3 In this example, the initial exposure time difference and the end exposure time difference between the first sensor and the second sensor are both t / 2. The initial exposure time difference and the end exposure time difference can be adjusted based on the actual situation. This is just an example.

[0061] By using the above method, the first exposure time and the second exposure time are evenly distributed during the image acquisition process of the image acquisition device, reducing the probability of blurred fused images caused by uneven exposure time distribution, thereby improving the clarity of the fused images obtained by the image acquisition device.

[0062] Step S24: Perform fusion and noise reduction processing on the first image and the second image to obtain a fused image.

[0063] In the process of fusing the first and second images, in order to prevent the image quality of the first and second images from degrading due to noise interference, the image acquisition device needs to perform noise reduction processing on the first and second images. The noise-reduced first image is used as the target first image, and the noise-reduced second image is used as the target second image. Noise reduction processing can use Gaussian filtering, mean filtering, etc., without specific limitations here.

[0064] After identifying the first and second target images, in order to improve the spatial resolution of the fused image, the first and second target images need to be fused to generate a third image. The fusion process can employ pixel-level fusion, feature fusion, and decision fusion, etc. Since the fusion processing methods are well-known to those skilled in the art, only examples are given here.

[0065] After obtaining the third image, in order to make the details in the third image clearer, the third image needs to be subjected to a preset image enhancement process, and the enhanced third image is used as the fused image. The preset image enhancement process can be grayscale transformation enhancement, linear grayscale enhancement, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0066] Based on the above method, by adjusting the sensor exposure time of the image acquisition device during the image acquisition process, the distribution of the first exposure time and the second exposure time during the image acquisition process is made more uniform, thereby reducing the probability of unclear fused images caused by the difference between the initial exposure time difference and the end exposure time difference, and thus improving the image acquisition device to obtain clearer fused images.

[0067] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an image acquisition device, which implements the function of an image acquisition method, as described above. Figure 4 The device includes:

[0068] The module 401 is used to obtain the first exposure parameters of the first sensor of the image acquisition device and the second exposure parameters of the second sensor.

[0071] The fusion module 404 is used to perform fusion and noise reduction processing on the first image and the second image to obtain a fused image.

[0072] In one possible design, the image module 403 is specifically used to determine the first light information corresponding to the first exposure time and the second light information corresponding to the second exposure time, control the first sensor to generate a first image based on the first light information, and control the second sensor to generate a second image based on the second light information.

[0073] In one possible design, the image module 403 is further configured to determine a first endpoint value and a second endpoint value corresponding to the first exposure duration, and to determine a third endpoint value and a fourth endpoint value corresponding to the second exposure duration, calculate an initial exposure time difference based on the first endpoint value and the third endpoint value, and calculate an end exposure time difference based on the second endpoint value and the fourth endpoint value, and control the start exposure time difference and the end exposure time difference to be equal to the preset time difference.

[0074] In one possible design, the fusion module 404 is specifically used to perform image noise reduction processing on the first image and the second image respectively to obtain a target first image and a target second image, fuse the target first image and the target second image based on a preset fusion method to generate a third image, perform preset image enhancement processing on the third image, and use the enhanced third image as the fused image.
