Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of image processing technology, and particularly to a 4K abdominal endoscope imaging device and an endoscope image optimization method. Background Art

[0002] An endoscope generally inserts a flexible insertion portion having an elongated shape into a subject to be examined, illuminates illumination light supplied from a light source device from the front end of the insertion portion, and captures an in-vivo image by receiving the reflected light of the illumination light with an imaging unit at the front end of the insertion portion.

[0003] The disclosed patent: Invention Name, Image Sensor Data Transmission Device of 3D Endoscope and 3D Endoscope, Publication Number: CN215383848U, Publication Date of Application: January 4, 2022. The device includes: a first image sensor module 102: converting an optical signal into a first electrical signal; a second image sensor module 103: converting an optical signal into a second electrical signal; an image sensor data transmission device 104 for receiving the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal, and outputting first image data corresponding to the first electrical signal to a data processing system, and outputting second image data corresponding to the second electrical signal to the data processing system; a data processing system 105 for receiving the first image data and the second image data, and after synthesizing the first image data and the second image data, outputting synthesized image data for 3D display; a data interface circuit 2015 is connected to a parallel-to-serial circuit to transmit data to the backend; The disadvantages of the above-disclosed patent technology are: Image processing is not performed simultaneously, and the first image and the second image are obtained sequentially; this system can only be used for the endoscope image system; Published Patent: Invention Title: A 3D Fluorescence Endoscope, Imaging Method, Device and Debugging Method, Publication Number: CN117398043A, Publication Date: January 16, 2024. Disclosed is a 3D fluorescence endoscope, imaging method, device and debugging method, belonging to the field of endoscopes. The endoscope includes an endoscope sleeve, an objective lens and a photosensitive element arranged in the endoscope sleeve. A beam splitting device is arranged between the objective lens and the photosensitive element. The beam splitting device divides the light beam passing through the objective lens into a left visible light beam, a left fluorescence beam, a right visible light beam and a right fluorescence beam that are incident on the photosensitive element. A left focusing lens that makes the optical paths of the left visible light beam and the left fluorescence beam consistent and a right focusing lens that makes the optical paths of the right visible light beam and the right fluorescence beam consistent are arranged between the beam splitting device and the photosensitive element. This endoscope can simultaneously image the four beams of light on the photosensitive element, with no time difference between the left and right images, and no time difference between the visible light image and the fluorescence image. The entire endoscope only uses one photosensitive element, and can achieve consistency in time and focal plane in a relatively small space, which is beneficial to the miniaturization and high-sensitivity display of the 3D fluorescence endoscope. The technical unknowns of the above-mentioned published patent are: There are a total of 4 photosensitive elements. The image obtained by the light reflected twice on the photosensitive element is the mirror image of the real object, and the direction is the same as the light directly passing through the dichroic mirror 21, which is convenient for image processing operations during imaging; this system can only be used for imaging endoscope systems; it does not involve image optimization and only processes image signals.

[0004] And the technical route of existing laparoscopes: One is the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) solution, features: high parallelism, low latency, hardware reconfigurability; data is processed at the camera end, and an FPGA chip is used to implement ISP image processing. The disadvantage is that the algorithm for processing images needs to be burned on the FPGA main board, and if you want to change it after solidification, you need to rewrite the program on the chip. Application scenarios: high-realtime tasks, multi-modal imaging fusion; it is currently the main solution for 4K, 3D, and fluorescence.

[0005] The other is the SOC (System-on-Chip) solution, features: software-hardware collaboration, system integration; some do not have ISP functions, and some ISP functions are solidified on the chip. The disadvantage is that the underlying logic cannot be customized, resulting in limited flexibility, but the system integration degree is high.

[0006] When researching and developing a 4K laparoscope imaging device, the GPU solution is adopted. The data directly reaches the GPU, and the camera end does not process it. The GPU can obtain the most original image data; the GPU then completes ISP image processing. All image data can be implanted with AI algorithms, and the image algorithms can be updated in real time without having to rewrite. It is very necessary to optimize and improve the image quality and accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0068] The significant progress and creative technical features of the 4K abdominal endoscope imaging device and image optimization method of the present invention are as follows: The technical route adopted: The implementation process of the 4K endoscope camera solution: The CMOS converts the collected image into a digital signal and transmits the parallel signal to the serial board; the gyroscope collects the status information of the CMOS and outputs it to the signal output port of the serial board; the serial board compiles the parallel signal into a serial signal and transmits it at high speed to the deserialization board, enabling high-speed transmission of more than ten meters; at the same time, the gyroscope also transmits the status information to the backend at high speed. The host synthesizes the gyroscope information and processes the image. Because the image information is completely retained during the entire image transmission, higher-quality images can be obtained. It mainly overcomes the problem of image information loss caused by image processing at the camera module end, and also overcomes the problems such as possible increase in module temperature, damage to components, and impact on imaging quality caused by image processing at the camera module end; The technical objectives achieved: The main purpose is to meet the requirements of low-latency and high-pixel transmission, and the image information is completely retained.
