The invention discloses a multi-region time-sharing
exposure control method for a single-
chip image sensor and an application of the multi-region time-sharing
exposure control method. The control method comprises the following steps of: logically partitioning a
pixel array of a single-
chip image sensor according to a shooting scene to obtain a plurality of
exposure areas; according to the exposure time of different partitions, a pixel row decoder is controlled to
expose the area needing to be exposed; after exposure is completed, the column reading circuit is controlled to read out, and exposure images of all the partitions at different moments and different exposure times are obtained. The method is used in the star guiding process. According to the method, multi-region time-sharing exposure of the
single image sensor is realized, and meanwhile, the multi-region time-sharing exposure is applied to the astronomical field, so that a guided star image is acquired and a target image is shot on the same
image sensor, the error is smaller when the
guide star deviation is calculated, and more accurate
guide star correction can be completed. The complex process problem of adjusting the
guide star sensor and the main sensor to be in the same plane and the guide star
calculation error caused by the adjustment error are avoided.
