Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of endoscope image processing, and in particular to a method and system for an endoscope system to solve the problem of light flickering affecting image effects during laser treatment. Background Art
[0002] During holmium laser lithotripsy with endoscopes such as ureteroscopes, the holmium laser device will emit pulsed lasers, which will generate plasma when irradiating stones for lithotripsy. Its de-excitation process will emit strong visible light flashes, which usually last for hundreds of microseconds. The exposure time of commonly used imaging sensors (CMOS) is several milliseconds, which is much shorter than the exposure time of a frame of image. CMOS often uses a rolling shutter design, which results in only some lines in a frame of image receiving exposure to laser flashes when flashes occur, so that the output image presents a partially overexposed image with obvious dividing lines, which seriously affects the image effect of the video.
[0003] Because the wavelength of light emitted by holmium laser is widely distributed in the visible light band, it cannot be filtered out by optical solutions such as filtering, and its light flicker is an unavoidable phenomenon in laser surgery. The current mainstream solution is to use image algorithms to identify overexposed areas and then suppress them through image processing or use previous data frames for compensation. However, due to the uncertainty of the position and intensity of the overexposed areas, and the fact that the data of the overexposed areas is overexposed, the effective information of the image has been lost. The image processing algorithm alone can only alleviate the visual problem caused by image flicker, but it cannot make up for the lost image information. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method and system for suppressing laser flicker for endoscopic diagnosis. The present invention adjusts the exposure timing of CMOS to avoid the possibility of laser pulse flicker being captured and exposed by CMOS from the signal source, fundamentally solving the problem of local over-exposed images caused by laser flicker, and eliminates image flicker without losing any image information.

[0011] S5: CMOS starts a new frame and begins exposure immediately after receiving the frame synchronization signal.
[0012] Preferably, in step S3, the delay time is required to be no less than the flash duration of the laser pulse emitted by the laser device, and the calculation formula of the delay time T2 is: T2=T0+τ, wherein T0 is the flash duration of the laser pulse emitted by the laser device, and τ is the system delay of the transmission link.
[0013] Preferably, in step S1, the exposure time of the CMOS is preprocessed, specifically:

[0015] S12: If the exposure time of the CMOS is greater than the time interval between two laser pulses emitted by the laser device, the exposure time of the CMOS needs to be adjusted, and the calculation formula for limiting the upper limit value T1 of the exposure time of the CMOS is: T1=1 / F1, where the pulse frequency of the laser device is F1.
[0016] Preferably, for step S12, after adjusting the exposure time of the CMOS, compensation is performed by increasing the CMOS gain, and the calculation formula for the ratio G / G0 of the new gain G and the original gain G0 is: G / G0=k*T4 / T3, wherein T3 is the exposure time of the CMOS after adjustment, T4 is the original exposure time of the CMOS, and k is an adjustment coefficient, which can be adjusted according to the actual image effect.
[0017] Preferably, step S4 specifically includes: performing logic level conversion on the delayed pulse synchronization signal Delay_Pluse_SYNC to convert it into a signal that meets the CMOS reception requirement, and then sending it to the CMOS as the frame synchronization signal Frame_SYNC for CMOS exposure.

[0047] Example 1
[0048] Combination Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for suppressing laser flicker for endoscopic diagnosis, comprising the following steps:
[0049] S1: pre-processing the exposure time of CMOS according to the laser pulse configuration of the laser device;
[0050] S2: Lead out the pulse synchronization signal Pluse_SYNC of the laser device;
[0051] S3: Add a delay time to the pulse synchronization signal Pluse_SYNC to convert it into a delayed pulse synchronization signal Delay_Pluse_SYNC;

[0053] S5: CMOS starts a new frame and begins exposure immediately after receiving the frame synchronization signal.
[0054] The present invention can control the staggered exposure time of CMOS and the time of laser pulse flickering. Compared with the traditional method of optimizing the overexposed area through image algorithm, the present invention avoids the possibility of flicker pulses being detected by CMOS from the signal source, and there will be no flickering image caused by laser pulses in the generated image, which fundamentally solves the problem of local overexposure of the image caused by laser flickering, and eliminates image flickering without losing any image information, and the imaging content is clear and complete.
[0055] Before and after using the method of the present invention Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, after using the method of the present invention, the generated image will not have a partially overexposed image, and the image display content is clear and complete without losing any image information.
[0056] Example 2
[0057] Combination Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for suppressing laser flicker for endoscopic diagnosis, comprising the following steps:
[0058] S1: pre-processing the exposure time of CMOS according to the laser pulse configuration of the laser device;
[0059] S2: Lead out the pulse synchronization signal Pluse_SYNC of the laser device;
[0060] S3: Add a delay time to the pulse synchronization signal Pluse_SYNC to convert it into a delayed pulse synchronization signal Delay_Pluse_SYNC;
[0061] S4: convert the delayed pulse synchronization signal Delay_Pluse_SYNC into a frame synchronization signal Frame_SYNC for CMOS exposure, and send it to the CMOS;
[0062] S5: CMOS starts a new frame and begins exposure immediately after receiving the frame synchronization signal.
[0063] Among them, CMOS is an image sensor, which is mainly used to receive light reflected from the human body, convert light signals into electrical signals through the photoelectric effect, and the electrical signals generated by each pixel unit constitute the original image information, which is transmitted to the endoscope image processor to generate a digital image. It contains many pixel units, each of which is equipped with a photodiode and a corresponding transistor circuit. The pulse synchronization signal of the laser device is an electrical signal used to control the timing of the laser pulse output.
[0064] Among them, the transmission and connection of signals between different devices described in this method are all commonly used signal transmission methods in the field and will not be repeated here.
[0065] Laser equipment can set the energy and frequency of the laser. First, according to the characteristics and related configurations of the laser equipment, input the pulse frequency F1 of the laser equipment and the flash duration T0 of the laser pulse emitted by the laser equipment. The duration of visible light excited by laser pulses is generally fixed, and there are not many types of medical lasers. You can first obtain a list of durations corresponding to different laser types and energies through experiments, and set the laser pulse flash duration T0 according to the measurement results.
[0066] In this embodiment, in step S3, the delay time is required to be no less than the flashing duration of the laser pulse emitted by the laser device, and the calculation formula of the delay time T2 is: T2=T0+τ, wherein T0 is the flashing duration of the laser pulse emitted by the laser device, and τ is the system delay of the transmission link.
[0067] According to the conventional configuration of laser pulses of laser equipment, the laser pulse frequency of laser equipment is generally 1 to 60 Hz, which generally does not exceed the frame rate of 60 FPS of CMOS used in conventional endoscopes. In general, the exposure time of CMOS is less than the time interval between two laser pulses emitted by the laser equipment, and each frame of the image will not be affected by the laser pulse light flicker more than once. Therefore, in this case, there is no need to adjust the exposure time of CMOS.
[0068] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, because different devices may use different level standards, conversion may be required to achieve device compatibility to prevent damage to the device due to level mismatch. Therefore, in step S4, the delayed pulse synchronization signal Delay_Pluse_SYNC needs to be converted into a signal that meets the CMOS reception requirements. Specifically, the conversion can be performed through a level conversion chip or an inverter. The converted signal is used as the frame synchronization signal Frame_SYNC of CMOS exposure and sent to the CMOS.
[0069] In the process of executing the embodiment of the present invention, the signal changes as follows: Figure 3As shown, the starting point of the laser pulse flashing is a, and its duration is ab. The pulse synchronization signal Pluse_SYNC is synchronized with the laser pulse. The delayed pulse synchronization signal Delay_Pluse_SYNC after the pulse synchronization signal Pluse_SYNC is delayed starts at the end point b of the laser pulse. After conversion, Delay_Pluse_SYNC is sent to CMOS as a frame synchronization signal Frame_SYNC. After receiving the frame synchronization signal Frame_SYNC, CMOS immediately starts a new frame and starts exposure. Its exposure time is completely staggered in time with the laser pulse.
[0070] Because the duration of the pulsed flickering light excited by the laser device is relatively stable, generally in the hundreds of microseconds. The present invention leads out the pulse synchronization signal Pluse_SYNC of the laser device, and by adding a certain delay time as the frame synchronization signal of the CMOS exposure, the CMOS immediately starts a new frame and starts exposure after receiving the frame synchronization signal, so that the exposure time of the CMOS and the time of the laser pulse flickering can be controlled to be staggered. Compared with the traditional method of optimizing the overexposed area through image algorithms, the present invention avoids the possibility of the flickering pulse being detected by the CMOS from the signal source, and the generated image will not produce an overexposed area, which fundamentally solves the problem of local overexposure of the image caused by laser flickering, and eliminates image flickering without losing any image information.
[0071] Before and after using the method of the present invention Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, after using the method of the present invention, the generated image will not have a partially overexposed image, and the image display content is clear and complete without losing any image information.
[0072] Example 3
[0073] Different from Example 1, this example illustrates that in some extreme cases, the exposure time of the CMOS may be greater than the time interval between two laser pulses emitted by the laser device, resulting in multiple laser pulse flashing exposures in one frame of image.
[0074] At this time, when the exposure time of the CMOS is greater than the time interval between two laser pulses emitted by the laser device, it is necessary to increase the exposure time of the CMOS for preprocessing, that is, adjust the exposure time of the CMOS, and set the exposure time of the CMOS not to exceed its upper limit value T1. The calculation formula for the upper limit value T1 of the exposure time of the CMOS is: T1=1 / F1, where the pulse frequency of the laser device is F1.
[0075] In this embodiment, because the exposure time of the CMOS may be reduced due to adjustment, after the exposure time of the CMOS is adjusted, the CMOS gain needs to be increased for compensation, and the calculation formula of the ratio G / G0 of the new gain G and the original gain G0 is: G / G0=k*T4 / T3, wherein T3 is the exposure time of the CMOS after adjustment, T4 is the original exposure time of the CMOS, and k is the adjustment coefficient, which can be adjusted according to the actual image effect.
[0076] The overall workflow of the method in this embodiment is shown in the attached Figure 2 According to the pulse frequency F1 of the input laser device and the flashing duration T0 of the laser pulse emitted by the laser device, when the exposure time of the CMOS is greater than the time interval between two laser pulses emitted by the laser device, it is necessary to pre-set the exposure time of the CMOS so that it cannot exceed its upper limit T1 and increase the gain control G of the CMOS; then the pulse synchronization signal Pluse_SYNC of the laser device is connected, and after being delayed by a delay device for T2 time, it is finally converted into a frame synchronization signal Frame_SYNC, which is connected to the frame synchronization signal or field synchronization signal of the CMOS as the start signal of the frame exposure of the CMOS.
[0077] The method of the present invention can compensate for the change in image brightness caused by the lack of exposure time by increasing the CMOS gain. In addition to the above-mentioned method of compensating for the reduction in exposure time by the CMOS gain control method, in this embodiment, the compensation image can also be achieved by other methods, such as using an image algorithm in an image processor to increase the brightness of the image, such as a brightness enhancement algorithm, an image digital gain, an image contrast, and an image gamma algorithm.

[0086] The processor is connected to the CMOS to realize the relevant configuration and operation of the CMOS, and the processor is connected to the delay device to configure the delay time of the delay device.
[0087] In this embodiment, the delay time processing of the pulse synchronization signal Pluse_SYNC is performed by a separate delay device, wherein the processor can use one of FPGA, single-chip microcomputer and ARM.

The processor is connected to the CMOS to realize the configuration and operation of the CMOS.
