Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic focusing method for a diamond cutting camera, and relates to the technical field of numerical control machining, and the method comprises the steps: placing a dot calibration plate on a rotary table, and controlling the camera to move from top to bottom along a Z axis to collect calibration plate images at different positions; performing zooming and de-noising processing on each image, detecting circular spots in the layered concentric recognition area, and selecting a spot closest to the center of the image to determine an ROI (Region of Interest); in the coarse positioning stage, a definition score sequence is obtained through the first stride, a focus candidate interval is determined, in the fine searching stage, the candidate interval is scored point by point through the second stride, and the position with the maximum score is determined as the focusing position. Through double-stage search and ROI self-adaptive selection based on a layered identification area, rapid convergence of the focusing process is realized, and the focusing precision and stability are improved; through image zooming and ROI local definition evaluation, the calculation amount is reduced, the focusing speed and the system response efficiency are improved, and meanwhile the accuracy and comparability of definition evaluation under different imaging scales are guaranteed.
