Description

In imageing sensor, obtain the fixedly method and the device of frame per second high-dynamics image
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of image sensors, be specifically related in imageing sensor, obtain the fixedly method and the device of frame per second high-dynamics image.
Background technology
The method of obtaining the high-dynamics image frame at present is: all row to the photosensitive pixel array carry out time exposure within a certain period of time, obtain the time exposure signal of whole picture frame; And all row of photosensitive pixel array are carried out short time exposure, obtain short time exposure signals of whole picture frame; The short time exposure signal and the time exposure signal that obtain are synthesized.
For imageing sensor; Above-mentioned exposure is that the logical photosensitive pixel array is grown resets and read and reset the short time of integration and read out realization the time of integration; And the principle that realizes integration just is earlier all row of pel array to be resetted by particular order line by line within a certain period of time, uniformly-spaced by this reseting sequence particular row is read line by line after a period of time again; When obtaining high-dynamics image, the long time of integration of all row short time of integration consistent, all row is consistent in one of them picture frame.
Because whole time of integration, the realization of principle need reset to the photosensitive pixel array in a last counts; Read in next counts then; Like this; One frame image data is from resetting to complete reading the time that just needs two counts; For improving frame per second and realizing the time of integration of length less than a frame; Usually the method that adopts is in a line time, not only to read but also reset simultaneously; Make a counts in the time except accomplishing the reading and reset of current image frame, can also begin resetting of next picture frame.One of them picture frame time (frame length) comprises effective frame time (effectively frame length) and idle frame time (idle frame length); The delegation owing to only reset in the line time; Therefore when changing from small to big the time of integration; If its variable quantity is greater than the idle frame length in the current image frame; Then in order to guarantee that current image frame and all provisional capitals of next picture frame can reset fully; Need make the blanking time between back one picture frame and the current image frame valid data elongated; Thereby make frame length become big, the image frame per second diminishes.
Fig. 1 is a sequential chart of realizing the embodiment of high dynamic mode image output under the prior art condition: existing algorithm is following:
10 begin present frame photosensitive pixel array is resetted line by line according to the long integration 10 of the present frame count signal Line_counter that is expert at; Then before current frame data is read; The count signal Line_counter that for example goes is 1 o'clock; The long time of integration 10 of present frame and the long time of integration 100 of next frame are compared; For avoiding the present frame and long time of integration of the horizontal reset of back one frame to overlap; Guaranteeing that all effective provisional capitals are accomplished resets, and the frame length of present frame is adjusted into 1110 by 1020 of acquiescence; Like this can so that the present frame short time of integration of row and current frame length integration horizontal reset fully after, just begin resetting of next the frame length row time of integration, i.e. T1 and T3, T2 and T3 do not conflict; So-called conflict is meant that the above effective row address of two row need reset in the time in a certain count line simultaneously, and in addition, T1 is 10, and T2 is 2, and both are even number, also do not clash.
From row count signal Line_counter is that 1110 beginnings are read the long time of integration of the row view data of integration of present frame photosensitive pixel array successively; Be 5 according to the maximum short time of integration then; Can know from row count signal Line_counter to be that 1105 beginnings are read the picture signal of the short time of integration of the row of integration of present frame photosensitive pixel array successively; Therefore and be 2 the short time of integration of present frame, should be 1017 to begin that present frame photosensitive pixel array is lacked time of integration row and reset line by line from row count signal Line_counter.Make like this when row count signal line_counter is even number; Carry out resetting and reading of current frame length row time of integration view data; And row count signal line_counter is when being odd number, then carries out resetting and reading of the present frame short time of integration of row view data.At last, 100 begin a back frame photosensitive pixel array is resetted line by line according to the long integration 100 of the back one frame count signal Line_counter that is expert at.The capable viewdata signal of long and short integration that obtains is exported on request.
The count signal Line_counter that is expert at be 1106 o'clock long when the time of integration, row was read to the 2nd row of the integration of said present frame photosensitive pixel array: at the 7th row long time of integration of the row of this horizontal reset present frame photosensitive pixel array; And according to maximum short time of integration be 5; The count signal Line_counter that confirms to be expert at is 1105 the 0th row short time of integration of the row view data of reading the integration of present frame photosensitive pixel array, is the short time of integration that the 2 count signal Line_counter that confirm to be expert at are 1105 the 1st row short time of integration of the row that reset present frame photosensitive pixel array according to present frame simultaneously; The present frame long and short time of integration of the row that resets at of the back one frame length row time of integration is read and is just begun to reset after finishing, and just no longer sets forth at this.In addition; Above-mentioned the photosensitive pixel array is resetted in the process with read operation, have present frame to read the row address 0<present frame short time of integration of reset line address 1<current frame length the short time of integration and read row address 2<current frame length reset line time of integration address 7 time of integration.
Frame length has become 1110 by 1020 in the prior art; Frame per second is slack-off; Can not satisfy NTSC (NatioNal TeleviSioN StaNdardS Committee; NTSC) or the fixing requirement of image frame per second that need satisfy of PAL (PhaSe AlterNatiNg LiNe, line-by-line inversion) when output system.In addition; If output high-dynamics image; Need at first in a frame time, to export the view data that is equivalent to general mode two frames; Wherein frame data are realized the long time of integration; It is time exposure; Another frame data are realized the short time of integration; If need to obtain the high-dynamics image frame data that the long and short time of integration, line data was alternately read; Long and short integration is capable need to be resetted in delegation in order to avoid; Need to guarantee that strange, the even property of the long and short time of integration in the same frame is identical, but can not guarantee to export the high-dynamics image data that realize any long and short time of integration like this.
