[0072] 12) Pose adjustment: The alignment pattern is displayed on the screen. The camera 4 obtains the screen image II through the VR / AR lens group 3, analyzes the screen image II to obtain the translation amount and rotation angle of the VR / AR lens group 3, and adjusts the pose of the VR / AR lens group 3 according to the translation amount and rotation angle of the VR / AR lens group 3;

[0074] 2) Detection;

[0075] 21) Distortion detection: The camera 4 takes pictures of the distortion detection pattern displayed on the screen through the VR / AR lens group 3, calculates the deviation between the ideal and actual imaging positions, and evaluates the distortion;

[0079] 3) Result recording and determination;

[0080] Record the detection results of various performance indicators, compare them with the design requirements, and determine whether the product is qualified.

[0081] In this embodiment, the VR / AR lens group 3 includes a left lens group and a right lens group, and the alignment of each of them is adjusted by the camera 4 respectively. Through visual guidance and image analysis, high-precision alignment between the screen and the VR / AR lens group 3 is achieved. After the alignment is completed, the left lens group and the right lens group are fixed by applying glue. The centering deviation is controlled within 1 pixel, and the field angle deviation is less than 0.01°, significantly improving the optical performance.

[0082] Moreover, comprehensive and accurate detection of various performance indicators of the optical system is carried out to ensure the consistency of product quality and reduce the defective rate. This application provides a unified evaluation standard for the alignment of the optical system, provides favorable technical support for related research, and has extremely high promotion value.

[0083] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, in step 11), the MTF of the screen image a is analyzed by the fringe contrast method, including the following steps:

[0084] 111) Perform mean filtering along the stripe direction to make the gray levels uniform within the black and white areas of the stripes and eliminate the errors of camera 4;

[0085] 112) According to the interval of the stripes, at the center position of the stripes, find the maximum value I of the gray level within each interval maxi and the minimum value I mini , and calculate the MTF within each interval i as:

[0086]

[0087] where i = 1, 2, ···, n, and n is the total number of intervals;

[0088] 113) Average the MTF values of each interval to obtain the final MTF value;

[0089]

[0090] In this embodiment, the primary task of alignment is still focusing. The parsing process of MTF is as Figure 2 shown. In the pattern design, black and white stripes are used to calculate the MTF of a specific frequency. The gray vertical stripe is the window for mean filtering, and the horizontal stripes with alternating dark and light gray are the range for solving the contrast. The sharpness is evaluated through the MTF value of the central field of view. Control the lifting of the VR / AR lens group 3 and find the position of the VR / AR lens group 3 corresponding to the maximum MTF to complete autofocus.

[0091] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , 4 and 5, in step 12), the alignment pattern includes 1 group of MTF detection stripes at the center and 8 groups of MTF detection stripes evenly distributed on the periphery of the central MTF detection stripes; the parsing of the screen image II includes the following steps:

[0092] 121) Perform threshold segmentation on each MTF detection stripe in the screen image II through the positioning circles respectively;

[0093] 122) Fill each closed area surrounded by the positioning circles to obtain 9 circles;

[0094] 123) Distinguish the 9 circles by connected component judgment, fit the circles respectively, obtain the centers of the fitted circles, and mark the positions of the centers;

[0095] 124) Locate the center circle of the pattern from the center coordinates of the circles, establish a horizontal auxiliary line and a vertical auxiliary line at the position of the center circle of the pattern, locate the other circles according to the center coordinates of the other circles, and establish a pattern coordinate system from the center coordinates of the other circles in the four directions of up, down, left, and right;

[0096] 125) Obtain the coordinates (Δ ximage , Δ yimage ) of the center of the pattern coordinate system in the camera coordinate system, and calculate the translation amount of the VR / AR lens group;

[0097]

[0098] Among them, x c is the translation amount of the VR / AR lens group in the x-axis direction; y c is the translation amount of the VR / AR lens group in the y-axis direction;

[0099] P x and P y are conversion coefficients;

[0100] 126) Calculate the rotation angle of the VR / AR lens group according to the MTF of the screen image II in the x and y directions;

[0101]

[0102] Among them, R x is the rotation angle value of the VR / AR lens group around the x-axis; R y is the rotation angle value of the VR / AR lens group around the y-axis;

[0103] α and β are adjustment coefficients;

[0104] MTFL is the MTF value at the left end of the x-axis in the screen image II; MTFR is the MTF value at the right end of the x-axis in the screen image II;

[0105] MTFU is the MTF value at the top end of the y-axis in the screen image II; MTFD is the MTF value at the bottom end of the y-axis in the screen image II.

[0106] In this embodiment, the acquisition of the position and attitude adjustment amount of the VR / AR lens group 3 is achieved by analyzing the positioning circle of the projection pattern, and the image processing flow is as Figure 4 shown. Threshold segmentation can obtain each element (as shown in Figure 4 figure a), fill the closed area to obtain 9 circles (as shown in Figure 4 figure b), distinguish the 9 circles by connected domain judgment, respectively fit the circles, obtain the center of the fitted circle, and mark the center position (as shown in Figure 4 figure c). The alignment analysis is performed by the center of the positioning circle of the captured pattern as shown in 5, and the translation amount and rotation angle of the VR / AR lens group are calculated.

[0107] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, in step 21), the captured pattern is subjected to threshold segmentation, and the possible noise is removed by opening operation, and all the circular dots are extracted; circle fitting is performed on each circular dot to obtain the center of the fitted circle, the centers are sorted to obtain the center position of the central circle; the center position of the ideal imaging is calculated from the adjacent points; the deviation between the ideal center position and the imaging center position is the current target distortion; the deviation at the outermost periphery of the camera's field of view is used for distortion evaluation; at the same time, after calibrating the forward center, the deviation between the center of the camera coordinate system and the center position of the central circle is the final deviation of the VR / AR lens group.

[0108] In this embodiment, the process of capturing and processing the distortion is as Figure 7 shown. By performing threshold segmentation on the captured pattern (such as Figure 7 the figure a shown), the possible noise is removed by opening operation, and all the circular dots are extracted (such as Figure 7 the figure b shown). Circle fitting is performed on each circle to obtain the center of the fitted circle (such as Figure 7 the figure c shown). The deviation between the camera center and the central circle is the final deviation of the VR / AR lens group installation.

[0109] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, in step 22), a detection area is generated in the captured MTF fringe pattern within a set range, the MTF fringe pattern is subjected to threshold segmentation, fully dilated, the fringe patterns are connected to form a rectangle, opening operation is performed on each area to remove noise, the MTF fringe area is obtained by screening according to the area, and the center of the circumscribed rectangle is used as the center of the fringe area, and the contrast of the fringe is read according to the offset of the MTF fringe; the calculated MTF value is compared with the nominal value of the camera lens at the current frequency, and the lens measurement error is compensated for the MTF detection result.

[0110] In this embodiment, the MTF fringe pattern is captured (such as Figure 8 shown), and the MTF of different fields of view is detected. The detection process is as Figure 9 shown. A detection area is generated within a set range (such as Figure 9 the circular ring framed area shown in the figure b), to prevent detecting areas outside the lens. Subsequently, the image is subjected to threshold segmentation, fully dilated, the fringe patterns are connected to form a rectangle (such as the figure c shown in Figure 9), the MTF fringe area is obtained by screening according to the area (such as Figure 9 the figure d shown), the ratio with the nominal value is calculated, and the lens measurement error is compensated for the MTF detection result.

[0111] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 10 、 11As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, in step 23), the captured white-field pattern is subjected to frequency-domain filtering and inverse Fourier transform, and then a threshold is set, and corresponding defect marks are obtained by screening according to the threshold; the average gray levels of regions including the middle region and several peripheral regions are extracted from the pattern under the white field, and the gray-level distribution state of the entire region is recorded; the brightness of the peripheral and middle regions is compared to obtain the brightness uniformity.

[0112] In this embodiment, the white-field pattern mainly detects defects in the picture. There are some ripple textures in the white field. In this case, the image needs to be Fourier-transformed. Frequency-domain processing has very good advantages in defect detection with ripples and vignetting. The image processing process is as Figure 11 shown, the captured image is as Figure 11 shown in FIG. a in Figure 11 ; the specific morphology of the defect is as Figure 11 shown in FIG. b in Figure 12 . To prevent over-saturated exposure, a relatively dark shooting method is adopted, and the defect marks are as shown in FIG. c in

[0113] Figure 13 . The average gray levels of the 5 regions as 14 shown in FIG. 15 are extracted from the pattern under the white field, so as to obtain the brightness uniformity.

[0114] In this embodiment, the artifact is caused by the refraction of light in the lens due to the phenomenon of double refraction of light. The artifact has a great interference on the imaging of the VR system and will have a great impact on the image quality. The artifact is as Figure 14 shown, and the artifact usually images at the defocus position, and its shape depends on the displayed pattern.

[0115] The artifact and the background base color have similar gray levels. To extract the artifact, the ROI needs to be divided first to prevent the pattern itself from being included in the calculation. Then, the gray level of the ROI region is enhanced, and the gray-level difference is enlarged by using the power method, and is segmented by a threshold, and appropriate erosion is performed to reduce the interference of the periphery of the artifact. The ratio of the maximum gray-level data in the artifact of each region to the gray-level mean value of the original image is used to obtain the relative ratio of the artifact. The analysis process is as Figure 15 shown.

[0116] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, an auxiliary system is adopted to complete the assembly, adjustment and detection of the VR / AR lens group 3; the auxiliary system includes a six-degree-of-freedom platform 1, a manual linear displacement stage 2 and a screen; the six-degree-of-freedom platform 1 adsorbs and fixes the VR / AR lens group 3 through a negative pressure air valve, and drives it to move along the x-axis, y-axis or z-axis, and rotate around the x-axis, y-axis or z-axis;

[0117] The manual linear displacement stage 2 is arranged below the VR / AR lens group 3, and a camera 4 is fixedly installed on the manual linear displacement stage 2, and drives it to move along the x-axis, y-axis or z-axis;

[0118] The screen is arranged above the VR / AR lens group 3 and is used to display the patterns for assembly, adjustment or detection.

[0119] In this embodiment, for the three-direction translation and three-direction rotation degrees of freedom of the VR / AR lens group 3, a precise motion mechanism is designed to achieve the coordinated adjustment of each degree of freedom, and solve the problem of high-precision matching between the VR / AR lens group 3 and the screen under complex optical paths. The auxiliary system has sufficient degrees of freedom and flexibility of motion, can adapt to the assembly, adjustment and detection requirements of VR / AR glasses of different models and specifications, and has good versatility and expandability.

[0120] During the assembly and adjustment process, after obtaining the adjustment amounts such as the translation amount and rotation angle of the VR / AR lens group 3, it is fed back to the auxiliary system for adjustment; the automated assembly and adjustment process and real-time performance feedback greatly shorten the assembly and adjustment time, improve production efficiency, and meet the requirements of large-scale production.
