Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of image processing technology, and in particular to a processing method, system, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of electronic device technology, more and more electronic devices support AON (always-on camera) to achieve low-power operation and faster response to operations such as face recognition and gesture control. The role of ISP (Image Signal Processor) is to process the signal output from the image sensor to obtain the processed image result.

[0003] In related technologies, one ISP corresponds to one AON camera, meaning that one ISP can only process image data from one AON camera. If image data from multiple AON cameras needs to be processed, multiple ISPs are required, which leads to increased power consumption and higher costs. Summary of the Invention

[0051] The method described above, as disclosed in this invention, has the following beneficial effects:

[0052] The method provided in this disclosure can determine the current target mode based on the target camera module currently in use, that is, determine whether it is necessary to process image data from multiple camera modules or image data from one camera module. Then, based on the target mode, the image data collected by the target camera module is processed. By configuring the target mode, image data processing under different modes can be achieved without adding an additional image signal processor, thus reducing power consumption and cost.

[0053] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0054] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

[0060] Figure 6 This is a block diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0061] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0062] In related technologies, one ISP corresponds to one AON camera, meaning that one ISP can only process image data from one AON camera. If image data from multiple AON cameras needs to be processed, multiple ISPs are required, leading to increased power consumption and higher costs. For example, a separate ISP is needed for the front-facing AON camera and the rear-facing AON camera; it is not possible to process both simultaneously using only one ISP.

[0063] The method provided in this disclosure can determine the current target mode based on the target camera module currently in use, that is, determine whether it is necessary to process image data from multiple camera modules or image data from one camera module. Then, based on the target mode, the image data collected by the target camera module is processed. By configuring the target mode, image data processing under different modes can be achieved without adding an additional image signal processor, thus reducing power consumption and cost.

[0064] The method provided in this disclosure is executed by an electronic device, which may be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, wearable device, or other device with multiple camera modules.

[0065] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a processing method according to an exemplary embodiment, executed by an electronic device, see [link to flowchart]. Figure 1 The method includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S101: Determine the target camera module currently in use, including a front camera module and / or a rear camera module.

[0067] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the electronic device is provided with a front-facing camera module and a rear-facing camera module, and the user can select the camera module to use as needed. Optionally, a front-facing camera module can be used, for example, for face recognition, gesture recognition, or other operations, in which case the target camera module is the front-facing camera module; or, a rear-facing camera module can be used, for example, for QR code scanning, object detection, or other operations, in which case the target camera module is the rear-facing camera module; or, both a front-facing camera module and a rear-facing camera module can be used simultaneously, for example, while using a front-facing camera module for face recognition or gesture recognition, a rear-facing camera module for QR code scanning or object detection, in which case both the front-facing camera module and the rear-facing camera module are the target camera modules.

[0068] Step S102: Configure the target mode corresponding to the target camera module. The target mode includes a first mode or a second mode. The first mode is used to indicate that the front camera module and the rear camera module can be used simultaneously. The second mode is used to indicate that the front camera module and the rear camera module can be used independently in time division.

[0069] In this embodiment of the disclosure, since the image data collected when using only the front-facing camera module, using only the rear-facing camera module, and using both the front-facing and rear-facing camera modules are different, different processing methods are needed for different situations in order to better process the image data collected by the camera modules. Therefore, it is necessary to configure a target mode corresponding to the target camera module. This target mode indicates the currently used camera module and the image data processing method.

[0070] In some embodiments, configuring a target mode corresponding to a target camera module includes: when the target camera module includes a front-facing camera module and a rear-facing camera module, determining the target mode as a first mode; or, when the target camera module includes either a front-facing camera module or a rear-facing camera module, determining the target mode as a second mode. In other words, the corresponding target mode is set according to the number of target camera modules currently in use.

[0071] Step S103: Based on the target pattern, process the image data acquired by the target camera module.

[0072] When the target camera module includes a front camera module and a rear camera module, the image data collected by the target camera module is processed based on the first mode, that is, the image data collected by the front camera module and the image data collected by the rear camera module are processed simultaneously. When the target camera module includes either a front camera module or a rear camera module, the image data collected by the target camera module is processed based on the second mode, that is, only the image data collected by the front camera module or only the image data collected by the rear camera module needs to be processed.

[0073] The method provided in this disclosure, by configuring a target mode, enables the processing of image data under different modes without the need for an additional image signal processor, thereby reducing power consumption and cost.

[0074] In some embodiments, each mode includes a working mode and a signal processing mode. The working mode characterizes the camera module currently in use, and the signal processing mode characterizes the processing method for the image data acquired by the currently used camera module. The following describes... Figure 2 The illustrated embodiments explain the configuration process for each mode.

[0075] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a processing method according to an exemplary embodiment, executed by an electronic device, see [link to flowchart]. Figure 2 The method includes the following steps:

[0076] Step S201: Determine the target camera module currently in use.

[0077] In some embodiments, the image data acquired by different camera modules has different transmission paths. Therefore, the target camera module currently in use can be determined based on the transmission path of the image data; alternatively, the operating information of the underlying camera module can be directly read to determine the target camera module currently in use. Of course, other methods can also be used to determine the target camera module, and this disclosure does not limit this approach.

[0078] In this embodiment of the disclosure, subsequent corresponding operations are performed according to the target camera module being used. When the target camera module includes a front camera module and a rear camera module, step S202 is executed; when the target camera module includes either a front camera module or a rear camera module, step S204 is executed.

[0079] Step S202: When the target camera module includes a front camera module and a rear camera module, the working mode corresponding to the target camera module is configured as a dual camera working mode, and the signal processing mode corresponding to the target camera module is determined as a synchronous signal processing mode.

[0080] The first mode includes a dual-camera working mode and a synchronous signal processing mode. The dual-camera working mode indicates that the front-facing camera module and the rear-facing camera module are currently in use, while the synchronous signal processing mode indicates that image data acquired by the front-facing camera module and the image data acquired by the rear-facing camera module are processed simultaneously. The dual-camera mode can also be called the simultaneous working mode.

[0081] In this embodiment, the operating mode is configured as a dual-camera operating mode, indicating that a front-facing camera module and a rear-facing camera module are currently in use, meaning that the first and second channels operate simultaneously. The first channel is the channel for transmitting image data corresponding to the front-facing camera module, and the second channel is the channel for transmitting image data corresponding to the rear-facing camera module. Then, the signal processing mode is configured as a synchronous signal processing mode so that subsequent processing of image data acquired by the front-facing camera module and the rear-facing camera module can be performed synchronously.

[0082] Step S203: Based on the synchronous signal processing mode, process the image data acquired by the target camera module.

[0083] When the target camera module includes a front camera module and a rear camera module, after configuring the synchronous signal processing mode, the image data collected by the front camera module and the image data collected by the rear camera module are processed synchronously. For example, two processing threads can be created, each processing thread is used to process the image data collected by one camera module, and the two processing threads execute synchronously.

[0084] Step S204: When the target camera module includes a front camera module or a rear camera module, configure the working mode of the target camera module as a single camera working mode and determine the signal processing mode of the target camera module as a time-division signal processing mode.

[0085] The second mode includes a single-camera working mode and a time-division signal processing mode. The single-camera working mode indicates that the front-facing camera module or the rear-facing camera module is currently in use, while the time-division signal processing mode indicates that the image data collected by the single camera module currently in use is processed separately.

[0086] In this embodiment, the operating mode is configured as a single-camera operating mode, indicating that either a front-facing camera module or a rear-facing camera module is currently in use, i.e., one of the first and second paths. Then, the signal processing mode is configured as a time-division signal processing mode, so that image data acquired by either the front-facing camera module or the rear-facing camera module can be processed independently subsequently.

[0087] In some embodiments, the image data acquired by the front-facing camera module can be processed using the processing method corresponding to the front-facing camera module, and the image data acquired by the rear-facing camera module can be processed using the processing method corresponding to the rear-facing camera module. The processing methods for the front-facing camera module and the rear-facing camera module can be the same or different. The processing methods may include multiple image processing algorithms or other processing methods, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0088] Step S205: Based on the time-division signal processing mode, process the image data acquired by the target camera module.

[0089] When the target camera module includes a front camera module or a rear camera module, after configuring the time-division signal processing mode, the image data collected by the front camera module or the image data collected by the rear camera module are processed separately.

[0090] In some embodiments, during the processing, it can be further determined whether the target camera module currently in use is a front-facing camera module or a rear-facing camera module. If the target camera module is a front-facing camera module, the processing method corresponding to the front-facing camera module is used to process the image data collected by the front-facing camera module. If the target camera module is a rear-facing camera module, the processing method corresponding to the rear-facing camera module is used to process the image data collected by the rear-facing camera module.

[0091] The method provided in this disclosure, by configuring a target mode, enables the processing of image data under different modes without requiring an additional image signal processor, thus reducing power consumption and cost. Furthermore, it can process image data acquired by a single camera module or simultaneously process image data acquired by multiple camera modules, enriching its application scenarios.

[0092] See one example. Figure 3 The flowchart shown illustrates the processing method, which includes the following steps:

[0093] Step S1: The electronic device is in standby mode.

[0094] Step S2: Determine whether the AON function is enabled. If the AON function is not enabled, proceed to step S3. If the AON function is enabled, proceed to step S4.

[0095] Step S3: Enable AON function.

[0096] Optionally, a prompt message is displayed to prompt the user to enable the AON function. If the user wants to enable the AON function, the AON function is enabled on the electronic device. If the user does not want to enable it, the AON function is not enabled and no further operations are performed.

[0097] Step S4: Determine whether the current setting is a single AON. If it is a single AON setting, proceed to step S5. If it is not a single AON setting, proceed to step S9.

[0098] The single AON setting refers to using either the front camera module or the rear camera module.

[0099] Step S5: Configure the working mode as single camera working mode and the signal processing mode as time-division signal processing mode.

[0100] Step S6: Determine whether the front camera module is being used. If the front camera module is being used, proceed to step S7; otherwise, proceed to step S8.

[0101] Step S7: Process the image data acquired by the front-facing camera module.

[0102] Step S8: Process the image data acquired by the rear camera module.

[0103] Step S9: Configure the working mode as dual-camera working mode and the signal processing mode as synchronous signal processing mode.

[0104] Step S10: Simultaneously process the image data acquired by the front camera module and the image data acquired by the rear camera module.

[0105] This disclosure also provides a processing system, which includes a front-facing camera module, a rear-facing camera module, a multiplexer, and an image signal processor. The front-facing camera module is connected to the multiplexer, the rear-facing camera module is connected to the multiplexer, and the multiplexer is connected to the image signal processor.

[0106] The multiplexer is used to determine the target camera module currently in use, including a front camera module and / or a rear camera module; and to configure a target mode corresponding to the target camera module, including a first mode or a second mode, wherein the first mode is used to characterize the simultaneous use of the front camera module and the rear camera module, and the second mode is used to characterize the independent time-division use of the front camera module and the rear camera module.

[0107] An image signal processor is used to process image data acquired by a target camera module based on the target pattern.

[0108] In some embodiments, when the target camera module includes a front-facing camera module and a rear-facing camera module, the multiplexer is used to determine the target mode as a first mode; or,

[0109] When the target camera module includes a front camera module or a rear camera module, the multiplexer is used to determine the target mode as the second mode.

[0110] In some embodiments, the multiplexer includes a first configuration register and a second configuration register.

[0111] When the target camera module includes a front camera module and a rear camera module, the first configuration register is used to configure the working mode of the target camera module as a dual-camera working mode; the second configuration register is used to determine the signal processing mode of the target camera module as a synchronous signal processing mode.

[0112] The first mode includes a dual-camera working mode and a synchronous signal processing mode. The dual-camera working mode is used to indicate that the front camera module and the rear camera module are currently in use, and the synchronous signal processing mode is used to indicate that the image data collected by the front camera module and the image data collected by the rear camera module are processed synchronously.

[0113] In some embodiments, the multiplexer includes a first configuration register and a second configuration register.

[0114] When the target camera module includes a front camera module or a rear camera module, the first configuration register is used to configure the working mode of the target camera module as a single camera working mode; the second configuration register is used to determine the signal processing mode of the target camera module as a time-division signal processing mode.

[0115] The second mode includes a single-camera working mode and a time-division signal processing mode. The single-camera working mode indicates that the front-facing camera module or the rear-facing camera module is currently in use, while the time-division signal processing mode indicates that the image data collected by the single camera module currently in use is processed separately.

[0116] In some embodiments, the processing system further includes a first controller and a second controller, the front camera module is connected to the first controller, the first controller is connected to a multiplexer, the rear camera module is connected to the second controller, and the second controller is connected to a multiplexer.

[0117] The first controller is used to transmit the images captured by the front-facing camera module to the multiplexer.

[0118] The second controller is used to transmit the images captured by the rear camera module to the multiplexer.

[0119] The implementation methods for the operations performed by the multiplexer and image signal processor are described above. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiments shown will not be described in detail here.

[0120] In some embodiments, a block diagram of the processing system is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the first controller can also be called the first CSI (Container Storage Interface) controller, and the second controller can also be called the second CSI controller. In addition to the front-facing camera module, the rear-facing camera module, the multiplexer, the image signal processor, the first CSI controller, and the second CSI controller, the processing system also includes: random access memory (RAM), a first interface (C-PHY / D-PHY) for connecting the front-facing camera module and the first CSI controller, and a second interface (C-PHY / D-PHY) for connecting the rear-facing camera module and the second CSI controller. The RAM is connected to the image signal processor and is used to store the image data processed by the image signal processor. The RAM can be static random access memory (SRAM) or dynamic random access memory (DRAM).

[0121] For the multiplexer, the first CSI controller can transmit the usage information of the front camera module to the multiplexer, and the second CSI controller can transmit the usage information of the rear camera module to the multiplexer. Thus, the multiplexer can determine the target camera module currently in use, and then configure the corresponding working mode and signal processing mode according to the target camera module through the first configuration register and the second configuration register respectively. Then, the image signal processor can process the image data acquired by the target camera module according to the configured mode. Thus, the multiplexer realizes the multiplexing function and the switching function. The multiplexing function means that the front camera module and the rear camera module can be used simultaneously through one image signal processor, and the switching function means that the front camera module and the rear camera module can be used independently in a time-division manner through one image signal processor.

[0129] In some embodiments, the mode configuration module 502 is configured as follows:

[0130] When the target camera module includes a front camera module and a rear camera module, the working mode corresponding to the target camera module is configured as a dual camera working mode, and the signal processing mode corresponding to the target camera module is determined as a synchronous signal processing mode.

[0131] The first mode includes a dual-camera working mode and a synchronous signal processing mode. The dual-camera working mode is used to indicate that the front camera module and the rear camera module are currently in use, and the synchronous signal processing mode is used to indicate that the image data collected by the front camera module and the image data collected by the rear camera module are processed synchronously.

[0132] In some embodiments, the mode configuration module 502 is configured as follows:

[0133] When the target camera module includes a front camera module or a rear camera module, the working mode corresponding to the target camera module is configured as a single camera working mode, and the signal processing mode corresponding to the target camera module is determined as a time-division signal processing mode.

[0134] The second mode includes a single-camera working mode and a time-division signal processing mode. The single-camera working mode indicates that the front-facing camera module or the rear-facing camera module is currently in use, while the time-division signal processing mode indicates that the image data collected by the single camera module currently in use is processed separately.
