Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of structured light projection technology, and in particular to an imaging method for a binary encoded image and a structured light encoding module. Background Technology
[0002] With the gradual localization of domestically produced Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) chips, the monopoly of Digital Micromirror Devices (DMD) chips in the market has been successfully broken, bringing new opportunities for the development of optical engine modules. However, LCoS chips have inherent defects during operation, such as low light utilization and low contrast. Furthermore, because the LCoS chips in projection optical engines are deployed at an angle, inconsistencies in depth of field and encoding ambiguity occur when measuring large objects. Additionally, with changes in ambient temperature, the components of the projection optical engine may shift due to thermal expansion and contraction. These problems severely restrict the performance improvement and display optimization of projection optical engines, limiting their widespread application in high-precision display fields. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides an imaging method for binarized coded images and a structured light coding module to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:
[0005] This invention provides an imaging method for a binary coded image, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1. Use semiconductor cooling to control the temperature of the LCoS chip in the structured light coding module so that the temperature of the LCoS chip is controlled within a set fluctuation range.
[0007] S2. The structured light coding module is used to image the object under test to obtain a multi-line binary grating image, and the depth of field of the structured light coding module is consistent on the imaging surface.
[0008] S3. Obtain the first-level coding map L based on the multi-line binarized raster image; then, use the complementary Gray code coding strategy to construct Gray code maps GC1 to GC5, and construct the second-level coding map K1 and the third-level coding map K2 based on Gray code maps GC1 to GC5. Finally, add the codes of the three-level coding maps L, K1, and K2 to obtain the final binarized coding map.
[0009] Furthermore, step S2 specifically includes the following steps:
[0010] S21. Turn on the light source; the light source emits a beam of light.
[0011] S22. The light beam emitted by the light source is focused by the condenser lens and then passes through the aspherical collimating lens to become parallel light.
[0012] S23. Parallel light passes through a compound eye lens and becomes multiple uniform parallel beams.
[0013] S24. The parallel light generated in S23 is transmitted, corrected, adjusted and distorted by a repeater mirror so that the beam transmitted by the repeater mirror matches the size of the LCoS chip.
[0014] S25. The beam transmitted from the relay mirror is transmitted to the polarization beam splitter. The polarization beam splitter reflects the beam with the set deflection angle onto the surface of the LCoS chip. The beams with other polarization angles are filtered by the polarization beam splitter. The LCoS chip performs pixel-level control on the polarization angle of the reflected beam to realize structured light encoding and reflection.
[0015] S26. The beam emitted after being encoded by the LCoS chip passes through a polarizing beam splitter and is projected onto the surface of the object being measured through a lens, resulting in a multi-line binarized grating pattern.
[0016] S27. By introducing the Sham projection principle to adjust the angle between the LCoS chip and the optical axis of the lens, the depth of field of the structured light coding module on the imaging surface is consistent, that is, the angle θ1 between the plane where the LCoS chip is located and the optical axis of the lens, and the angle θ2 between the optical axis of the lens and the normal direction of the imaging surface are equal.
[0017] Furthermore, step S3 specifically includes the following steps:
[0018] S31. Move the bright lines of the multi-line binarized raster image one pixel to the right multiple times according to the row to obtain a series of multi-line binarized raster images.
[0019] S32. Arrange a series of multi-line binarized raster images to obtain the first-level coded image L;
[0020] S33. Using a complementary Gray code encoding strategy, construct Gray code maps GC1 to GC5, a total of 5 Gray code maps; wherein, from Gray code map GC1 to Gray code map GC5, the codeword width of the next Gray code map is half the codeword width of the previous Gray code map;
[0021] S34. Encode Gray code maps GC1 to GC4 to obtain the second-level coding map K1. The specific calculation formula for coding map K1 is as follows:
[0022] K1 = GC1 + GC2 + GC3 + GC4;
[0023] Wherein, GC2 and GC3 represent Gray code map GC2 and Gray code map GC3, respectively;
[0024] S35. Encode Gray code maps GC2 to GC5 to obtain the third-level coding map K2; the specific formula for calculating coding map K2 is as follows:
[0025] K2 = GC2 + GC3 + GC4 + GC5;
[0026] S36. The codes of the three levels of coding maps L, K1, and K2 are added together to obtain the final binary coding map C. The specific formula for calculating the binary coding map C is as follows:
[0027] C = L + K1 + K2.
[0028] Furthermore, step S33 specifically includes the following steps:
[0029] S331. First, project to obtain Gray code maps GC1 to GC4, a total of 4 Gray code maps; starting from Gray code map GC1 and ending at Gray code map GC4, the codeword width of the next Gray code map is half the codeword width of the previous Gray code map;
[0030] S332. Then project a Gray code map GC5 with a codeword width that is half that of Gray code map GC4. Thus, a 5-bit Gray code map is obtained. The 5-bit Gray code map is used to construct 16 pixel periods, and each period has a unique corresponding Gray codeword.

[0032] The housing has an internal space for receiving light, and light inlet and imaging holes are provided on both sides;
[0033] The light source is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the housing close to the light inlet hole;

[0038] The lens is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the housing close to the imaging aperture. It is used to transmit the light beam reflected by the LCoS chip so that the light beam illuminates the surface of the object being measured.

[0041] Furthermore, the structured light coding module also includes a heat sink, which is mounted on the light source through a thermally conductive material to achieve heat conduction and dissipation of the light source.
[0042] The light source is bonded to the outer wall of the housing with heat-insulating adhesive to prevent the heat generated by the light source from being conducted to the housing.
[0043] Furthermore, the parallel light imaging unit includes:
[0044] A condenser lens is installed within the housing's containment space and located between the light source and the relay lens to focus the light provided by the light source.
[0045] The collimating lens is installed within the housing's containment space and is located between the condenser lens and the relay lens. It is used to convert the light projected by the condenser lens into parallel light.
[0046] The compound eye lens is installed within the housing's containment space and positioned between the collimating lens and the relay lens. It is used to optimize the parallel light projected by the collimating lens to obtain uniform parallel light.

Finally, add the codes of the three-level coding maps L, K1, and K2 to obtain the final binarized coding map.

[0076] S11. Perform thermal analysis on the structured light coding module using thermal analysis software (preferably Ansys) to determine the heating area and its temperature value under normal operation, and obtain the thermal analysis results; the analysis results are as follows. Figure 4 As shown, through Figure 4 It can be seen that the heat generation of the structured light coding module is mainly concentrated in two areas: one is the area where the light source 2 is located, and the other is the area where the LCoS chip 6 is located.
[0077] S12. Based on the thermal analysis results, the temperature of the LCoS chip 6 in the structured light coding module is controlled by using semiconductor cooling to keep the temperature of the LCoS chip 6 within the set fluctuation range.
