Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of endoscopes, and in particular to an endoscope imaging detection method and device with intelligent illumination adjustable and glare-free. Background Art

[0002] As an important tool in modern medicine, endoscopes are widely used in various minimally invasive surgeries and examinations. Its working principle is mainly to use the illumination fiber to guide the light beam of the light source module to the target living tissue, and receive the reflected light beam through the collection fiber to form a detection picture for doctors to observe and diagnose. However, in actual applications, due to the angle problem between the illumination light and the detection receiver, glare areas often appear in the detection picture. This glare not only reduces the clarity of the picture, but also may cover the lesion, seriously affecting the doctor's operation judgment and diagnosis and treatment effect.

[0003] The glare problem is mainly caused by the reflection and scattering of light on the surface of the target living tissue, resulting in overexposure of some areas. This glare forms bright spots or halos on the detection screen, interfering with the doctor's observation of tissue details. Therefore, solving the glare problem in endoscope detection is crucial to improving the accuracy of medical diagnosis and the safety of surgery. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide an endoscope imaging detection method and device with intelligent illumination adjustable and glare-free, which can improve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] The embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows:

[0006] In the first aspect, the present application provides an endoscopic imaging detection method with intelligent illumination and adjustable glare removal, which is used to control an endoscopic probe and process the detection image fed back by the endoscopic probe, wherein the endoscopic probe is arranged at the end of an endoscope handle, and the endoscopic probe includes a tubular shell, an illumination optical fiber and a scanning driver arranged in the tubular shell, and a main collection optical fiber fixed to the inner wall of the tubular shell; the illumination optical fiber is used to guide the light beam of the light source module to the target living tissue and emit the illumination light beam; the scanning driver is used to perform a scanning motion of a preset trajectory according to the driving parameters under the control of the driving signal to change the emission direction of the illumination light beam and realize the scanning of the illumination light beam on the target living tissue; the main collection optical fiber is used for the reflected light beam of the target living tissue.

[0007] The above-mentioned intelligent illumination adjustable de-glare endoscopic imaging detection method includes steps S1 to S3, wherein S1, S2, etc. are only step identifiers, and the execution order of the method is not necessarily in the order of numbers from small to large, for example, step S2 may be executed first and then step S1, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0008] The above-mentioned intelligent illumination adjustable glare removal endoscope imaging detection method comprises the following steps:

[0009] S1: receiving the reflected light beam fed back by the main acquisition optical fiber, and generating a main detection picture according to the optical signal of the reflected light beam;

[0010] S2: when a glare area is detected in the main detection image, adjusting the illumination light scanning parameters of the endoscopic probe so that the illumination light beam avoids the living body target area for scanning movement, and the living body target area is the tissue area corresponding to the glare area on the target living tissue;

[0011] S3: Displaying the main detection screen.

[0012] It can be understood that the method disclosed in steps S1 to S3 can actively avoid glare on the target living tissue by intelligently adjusting the scanning parameters of the illumination light. This dynamic adjustment not only reduces the formation of the glare area, but also ensures that the illumination light can be more evenly irradiated on the tissue to be inspected, thereby greatly improving the clarity and contrast of the detection image.

[0013] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the adjustment of the illumination light scanning parameters of the endoscope probe includes at least one of the following: adjusting the driving parameters of the scanning driver to change the preset trajectory; adjusting the optical parameters of the light source module. The optical parameters include at least one of the following: light brightness, light color, light cycle, and light duration within the light cycle.

[0014] It can be understood that the purpose of adjusting the illumination light scanning parameters of the endoscopic probe is to avoid the tissue area corresponding to the glare area on the target living tissue, which can be avoided in a variety of ways.

[0015] First, the drive parameters can be adjusted individually to reduce the scanning range of the scanning driver, thereby limiting the scanning range of the illumination light beam on the target living tissue and avoiding the tissue area corresponding to the glare area.

[0016] In addition, the optical parameters of the light source module can be adjusted individually. For example, when the illumination light beam scans the tissue area corresponding to the glare area, the light output brightness is reduced to avoid the tissue area corresponding to the glare area.

[0017] In addition, the driving parameters and the optical parameters may be adjusted simultaneously to avoid the tissue area corresponding to the glare area.

[0018] In an optional embodiment of the present application, at least one auxiliary collection optical fiber is fixed on the endoscope probe around the inner wall of the tubular housing; the endoscope imaging detection method with adjustable intelligent illumination and glare removal further includes the following steps between S2 and S3:

[0020] S22: Processing the glare area in the main detection picture according to the target auxiliary detection picture fed back by the target acquisition optical fiber.

[0021] It can be understood that the addition of step S21 and step S22 and the introduction of auxiliary collection optical fibers further enhance the diversity and accuracy of imaging. When glare still exists in the main detection image, the auxiliary collection optical fibers can be used to obtain detection images at different angles. These multi-angle data provide more information for subsequent image processing, which helps to more accurately identify and eliminate glare.

[0022] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the preset rule includes at least one of the following:

[0023] Acquire the auxiliary detection images fed back by the auxiliary collection optical fibers in order from far to near from the main collection optical fibers, and if there is no glare area in the auxiliary detection images, use the corresponding auxiliary collection optical fibers as target collection optical fibers;

[0024] The auxiliary detection images fed back by all the auxiliary collection optical fibers are obtained, and the auxiliary collection optical fiber corresponding to the auxiliary detection image with the best clarity is selected as the target collection optical fiber.

[0025] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the S22 includes the following steps:

[0026] S221: transforming the perspective of the auxiliary target detection picture so that the detection perspective of the auxiliary target detection picture is consistent with that of the main detection picture, thereby obtaining a perspective reconstruction picture;

[0027] S222: extracting an area consistent with the content of the glare area from the perspective reconstruction picture as a compensation area;

[0028] S223: Merge the compensation area with the non-glare area of ​​the main detection image, and re-update the main detection image.

[0029] It can be understood that the use of perspective transformation and regional fusion technology effectively integrates the data from different acquisition optical fibers and further improves the quality of the detection image.

[0030] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the S221 includes the following steps:

[0031] S2211: extracting features from the target auxiliary detection picture to obtain a first feature map;

[0032] S2212: using a perspective transformation generator to transform the perspective of the first feature map so that the perspective of the first feature map is consistent with the detection perspective of the main detection picture, thereby obtaining a second feature map;

[0033] S2213: Using a reconstruction generator to reconstruct a perspective reconstruction picture according to the generation result of the second feature map.

[0034] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the glare area includes an area in the main detection image where the degree of blurring exceeds a preset blurring threshold, and the degree of blurring is obtained by analyzing the main detection image based on dark channel prior theory.

[0039] The mainboard processor is connected to the endoscope handle via a transmission optical fiber and is electrically connected to the display. The mainboard processor is used to execute the endoscopic imaging detection method with intelligent illumination and adjustable de-glare as described in any one of the first aspects.

[0040] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the scan driver includes at least one of the following:

[0041] A piezoelectric actuator, wherein the fixed end of the piezoelectric actuator is fixed in the tubular housing through a fixing member, the light-emitting end of the illumination optical fiber extends out of the free end of the piezoelectric actuator, and the piezoelectric actuator performs a two-dimensional scanning motion under the control of a driving signal, thereby driving the light-emitting end of the illumination optical fiber to perform a scanning motion along a preset trajectory;

[0042] The MEMS scanning galvanometer is used to perform deflection motion in two-dimensional directions under the control of a driving signal, thereby reflecting the illumination light beam so that the illumination light beam scans on the target living tissue.

[0055] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] In a first aspect, the present application provides an endoscope imaging detection method with intelligent adjustable illumination and glare removal, which is used to control an endoscope probe and process the detection image fed back by the endoscope probe. Figure 1As shown, the endoscopic probe is arranged at the end of the endoscope handle 100, and the endoscopic probe includes a tubular shell 11, an illumination optical fiber 12 and a scanning driver arranged in the tubular shell 11, and a main collection optical fiber 14 fixed to the inner wall of the tubular shell 11; the illumination optical fiber 12 is used to guide the light beam of the light source module 500 to the target living tissue to emit an illumination beam; the scanning driver is used to perform a scanning movement of a preset trajectory according to the driving parameters under the control of the driving signal to change the emission direction of the illumination beam and realize the scanning of the illumination beam on the target living tissue; the main collection optical fiber 14 is used for the reflected light beam of the target living tissue.

[0057] The light source transmission fiber 16 is used to transmit the laser beam to the surface of the dichroic mirror 20 for reflection; the head end of the illumination fiber 12 is arranged toward the dichroic mirror 20, and the reflected light beam reflected by the dichroic mirror 20 is coupled into the illumination fiber 12 for transmission, and the end of the illumination fiber 12 emits light toward the target living tissue. The dichroic mirror is a special optical element that selectively reflects or transmits light according to the wavelength (or frequency) of the light. Within a given angle and wavelength range, the dichroic mirror exhibits high reflection for light of a certain wavelength and high transmission for light of another wavelength.

[0058] The target living tissue generates fluorescence after being excited by the laser. The fluorescence is collected by the main collection optical fiber 14 and then transmitted. It is emitted toward the end of the dichroic mirror 20 through the collection optical fiber, and is received by the handle photoelectric conversion module 18 through the dichroic mirror 20. The handle photoelectric conversion module 18 is used to convert the received optical signal into an electrical signal. After being excited by the laser, the living tissue generates fluorescence. This fluorescence usually has a different wavelength from the excitation light, that is, a band excitation change occurs. It is this band change that allows the reflected light (fluorescence) to pass through the dichroic mirror that originally reflects the laser.

[0059] The above-mentioned intelligent illumination adjustable de-glare endoscopic imaging detection method includes steps S1 to S3, wherein S1, S2, etc. are only step identifiers, and the execution order of the method is not necessarily in the order of numbers from small to large, for example, step S2 may be executed first and then step S1, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0060] The above-mentioned intelligent illumination adjustable glare removal endoscope imaging detection method comprises the following steps:

[0061] S1: receiving the reflected light beam fed back by the main collection optical fiber 14, and generating a main detection image according to the optical signal of the reflected light beam.

[0062] S2: When a glare area is detected in the main detection image, the illumination light scanning parameters of the endoscope probe are adjusted so that the illumination light beam avoids the living target area for scanning movement. The living target area is the tissue area corresponding to the glare area on the target living tissue.

[0063] S3: Display the main detection screen.

[0064] It can be understood that the method disclosed in steps S1 to S3 can actively avoid glare on the target living tissue by intelligently adjusting the scanning parameters of the illumination light. This dynamic adjustment not only reduces the formation of the glare area, but also ensures that the illumination light can be more evenly irradiated on the tissue to be inspected, thereby greatly improving the clarity and contrast of the detection image.

[0065] In an optional embodiment of the present application, adjusting the illumination light scanning parameters of the endoscope probe includes at least one of the following: adjusting the driving parameters of the scanning driver to change the preset trajectory; adjusting the optical parameters of the light source module 500. The optical parameters include at least one of the following: light brightness, light color, light cycle, and light duration within the light cycle.

[0066] It can be understood that the purpose of adjusting the illumination light scanning parameters of the endoscope probe is to avoid the tissue area corresponding to the glare area on the target living tissue, which can be avoided in a variety of ways.

[0067] First, the drive parameters can be adjusted individually to reduce the scanning range of the scanning driver, thereby limiting the scanning range of the illumination beam on the target living tissue and avoiding the tissue area corresponding to the glare area, such as Figure 2 The four cases shown are schematic diagrams of the scanning range on the target living tissue after adjusting the driving parameters individually, wherein the scanning trajectory avoids the target area 22 corresponding to the glare area on the target living tissue 21 .

[0068] In addition, the optical parameters of the light source module 500 can be adjusted separately. For example, when the illumination beam scans the tissue area corresponding to the glare area, the light output brightness can be reduced to avoid the tissue area corresponding to the glare area. Figure 3 As shown, when the scanning movement enters the target area 22 corresponding to the glare area on the target living tissue 21, the light output brightness is reduced.

[0069] In addition, the driving parameters and the optical parameters may be adjusted simultaneously to avoid the tissue area corresponding to the glare area, which will not be elaborated here.

[0070] In an optional embodiment of the present application, if Figure 4 As shown, at least one auxiliary collection optical fiber 15 is fixed on the endoscope probe around the inner wall of the tubular housing 11. The endoscope imaging detection method with intelligent illumination adjustable and glare-free includes the following steps between S2 and S3:

[0071] S21: When there is still a glare area in the main detection image, a target collection optical fiber is selected from at least one auxiliary collection optical fiber according to a preset rule.

[0072] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the preset rules include at least one of the following: 1. Obtain the auxiliary detection images fed back by the auxiliary collection optical fibers in order from far to near from the main collection optical fiber 14. If there is no glare area in the auxiliary detection image, the corresponding auxiliary collection optical fiber is used as the target collection optical fiber. 2. Obtain the auxiliary detection images fed back by all auxiliary collection optical fibers 15, and select the auxiliary collection optical fiber 15 corresponding to the auxiliary detection image with the best clarity as the target collection optical fiber.

[0073] like Figure 5 The endoscope probe shown is provided with three auxiliary collection optical fibers, wherein the first auxiliary collection optical fiber 151, the second auxiliary collection optical fiber 152, and the third auxiliary collection optical fiber 153 are located from far to near the main collection optical fiber 14, so the target collection optical fiber can be selected for subsequent processing in the order of the first auxiliary collection optical fiber 151, the second auxiliary collection optical fiber 152, and the third auxiliary collection optical fiber 153. It can be understood that the image information collected by the auxiliary collection optical fiber farthest from the main collection optical fiber 14 has the largest difference from the main detection image, and is therefore least affected by glare. Starting from the auxiliary collection optical fiber farthest from the main collection optical fiber 14 to select the target collection optical fiber is conducive to improving the processing efficiency of the glare area.

[0074] S22: Processing the glare area in the main detection picture according to the target auxiliary detection picture fed back by the target acquisition optical fiber.

[0075] It can be understood that the addition of step S21 and step S22 and the introduction of the auxiliary collection optical fiber 15 further enhance the diversity and accuracy of imaging. When glare still exists in the main detection image, the auxiliary collection optical fiber 15 can be used to obtain detection images at different angles. These multi-angle data provide more information for subsequent image processing, which helps to more accurately identify and eliminate glare.

[0076] In an optional embodiment of the present application, S22 includes the following steps:

[0077] S221: transforming the perspective of the auxiliary target detection picture so that the detection perspective of the auxiliary target detection picture is consistent with that of the main detection picture, thereby obtaining a perspective reconstruction picture.

[0078] In an optional embodiment of the present application, S221 includes the following steps:

[0079] S2211: Extract features from the target auxiliary detection image to obtain a first feature map.

[0080] S2212: Use a perspective transformation generator to transform the perspective of the first feature map so that the perspective of the first feature map is consistent with the detection perspective of the main detection picture, thereby obtaining a second feature map.

[0081] S2213: Reconstruct a perspective reconstruction picture according to the generation result of the second feature map using a reconstruction generator.

[0082] S222: extracting an area consistent with the glare area in the perspective reconstruction image as a compensation area.

[0083] S223: Merge the compensation area with the non-glare area of ​​the main detection image, and re-update the main detection image.

[0084] It can be understood that the use of perspective transformation and regional fusion technology effectively integrates the data from different acquisition optical fibers and further improves the quality of the detection image.

[0085] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the glare area includes an area in the main detection image where the degree of blurring exceeds a preset blurring threshold, and the degree of blurring is obtained by analyzing the main detection image based on dark channel prior theory.

[0086] Second, as Figure 6 As shown, the present application discloses an endoscopic imaging detection device with intelligent illumination adjustable glare removal, including an endoscope handle 100, a mainboard processor 200, a scanning drive board 300, a display 400 and a light source module 500 as in any one of the first aspects.

[0087] An end portion of the endoscope handle 100 is provided with an endoscope probe as in any one of the first aspects.

[0089] The light source module 500 is connected to the light source transmission optical fiber 16 and is electrically connected to the mainboard processor 200 , and is used to transmit an illumination light beam to the endoscope handle 100 through the light source transmission optical fiber 16 under the control of the mainboard processor 200 .

[0090] The mainboard processor 200 is connected to the endoscope handle 100 through a transmission optical fiber and is electrically connected to the display 400. The mainboard processor 200 is used to execute the intelligent illumination adjustable de-glare endoscopic imaging detection method as described in any one of the first aspects.

The piezoelectric actuator 17 performs a two-dimensional scanning motion under the control of a driving signal, thereby driving the light-emitting end of the illumination optical fiber 12 to scan along a preset trajectory;

[0093] The MEMS scanning galvanometer (not shown in the figure) is used to perform deflection movement in two dimensions under the control of a driving signal, thereby reflecting the illumination light beam so that the illumination light beam scans the target living tissue.
