Abstract

The present invention provides an image sensor having multiple pixel dimensions, which is applied in an image capturing equipment, such as a scanner. The image sensor at least includes a red sensor array, a green sensor array, and a blue sensor array, which are linearly arranged with n red, green and blue sensor cells, wherein the total length of the red sensor array equals to the total length of the green sensor array, and also the total length of the blue sensor array. In order to compensate the defect of insufficient sensing at the edges, the area of sensor cells in each sensor array are progressively increased from the center toward two sides. For balancing the sensitivity differences among red, blue and green colors, the area of green sensor cells is reduced a little, or the area of blue sensor cells with lower sensitivity is increased a little.

Description of the invention ο Field of the invention The present invention relates to an image sensor with multiple pixel sizes, and particularly relates to an image sensor with multiple sizes applied in a color scanner. 'It can improve the image quality of the edge field (image field), and can also compensate for the lack of sensitivity in the image sensor. [Background of the Invention]-A scanner is a kind of page, graphic, and illustration that captures images, and even the conversion of coins into a computer that can be displayed, edited, and a scanner can do a lot of work, shapes and photos; input text into typing Scanning and storing fax documents in ^; adding live & to the multimedia, the image data makes it more effective ^ 彳 scanner is an indispensable peripheral device for ordinary personal computers. Device for scanning three-dimensional objects such as photos, text or textiles, and staggered and rotated digital formats. Scan For example: · Combine art graphics in documents and word processing software to save re-entering into the database or word processing for lively and vivid images; express themes in presentations, and so on. For many users or company lines, the view 104 is composed as shown in the figure. It shows the side of the traditional reflective platform scanner. The traditional reflective platform scanner 100 is composed of the cover 1. 〇2 and the base are set to be scanned (not shown). Among them, the light machine with the function of receiving light ^ Ji. T… TV winter talk light source (light source 112, mirror assi s) 1 1 〇 image receiving function 11 541825 V. Description of the invention (2) (reflector) 114, The lens 116 and the photoelectric-sensing device 118 〇 The light source 112 is usually a tube-shaped fluorescent lamp. The light generated by the lens 116 illuminates the document to be scanned 108. After reflection, a reflected light signal is obtained. The reflected light signal may be After multiple reflections by the mirror 1 1 4, the lens 1 1 6 is reached. Then, through the focusing effect of the lens 1 1 6, the reflected light signal can be received by the photoelectric sensor 1 1 8. Then, the photoelectric sensing element 1 1 8 can convert the received reflected light signal into an electric signal for processing, and read out the sensed image data. After the photoelectric sensor element 118 reads the reflected light signal, the optical machine 110 can be driven to move slightly towards the unscanned area by a transmission device (not shown), and the image of the document 108 is sensed again by the photoelectric sensor element 11 8 Then, read out the image data. Repeat the above steps to scan the file 108 step by step. Among them, the photoelectric sensing element 118 is, for example, a Charge Coupled Device (CCD), a Contact Image Sensor (CIS), a metal oxide semiconductor image sensor (CMOS Image Sensor), or other A sensing element that converts an optical signal into an electrical signal. For a transmissive scanner, although the light source located at the flip cover passes directly through the document to be scanned (such as scanning transparent negatives), it also uses the same principle to receive the optical signal through the photoelectric sensor and then convert it into an electrical signal. To complete the scanning action. The structure of the photo-sensing element 1 1 8 (for example, CCD or C M 0 S) is to add a color mask (c ο 1 〇rmask) to the individual perceived grid points (ce 1 1 s) to adjust the color of the grid to the image The sensing ability of the composition. For example, some grid points are covered with a red cover

541825 五、發明說明(3) (red mask),稱為紅色感知格點(red sensor cells),可 偵測影像中的紅色成分;另一些格點被罩上綠色罩,稱為 綠色感知格點,可偵測影像中的綠色成分;剩下的格點被 罩上藍色罩,稱為藍色感知格點,可偵測影像中的藍色成 分。以下即以傳統的線性CCD作說明。 請參照第2圖,其繪示傳統的一組線性CCD之示意圖。 一組線性C C D 2 0 0至少包括一紅色感知陣列(r e d s e n s 〇 r array)202 、 一綠色感知陣列(green sensor array)204 、 及一藍色感知陣列(blue sensor array)206,且分別由等 數且等面積的複數個紅色感知格點(red sensor cells)212、綠色感知格點(green sensor cells)214、與 藍色感知格點(blue sensor cells)216排列而成。其中, 三色的感知陣列總長(T )均相等。 然而,傳統的掃描器中,作為光源1 1 2的日光燈其發 光量並不十分均勻,靠近燈管中間的光線強度較強,而靠 近燈管兩側的光線強度較弱。導致日光燈投射至原稿1 1 2 之光線並不均勻,所以待掃描文件1 〇 8所產生之反射光訊 號也不均勻’亦即文件108表面之輝度(luminance)不均 勻。 除此之外’透鏡聚焦時,待掃描文件兩側的反射光訊 號也會衰減(decay),如第3圖所示,其繪示光訊號自待掃 描文件傳送至C C D之示意圖。以待掃描文件3 〇 8邊緣的b點 I為例,其反射光訊號經過透鏡316聚焦再由CCD318上對應 !的13’點接收’會有⑶以㊀的效應,而待掃描文件308的中541825 V. Description of the invention (3) (red mask), called red sensor cells, can detect the red component in the image; other grids are covered with green masks, which are called green sensor grids. Can detect the green component in the image; the remaining grid points are covered with a blue mask, which is called the blue perception grid point, and can detect the blue components in the image. The following is a description of the traditional linear CCD. Please refer to FIG. 2, which illustrates a schematic diagram of a conventional linear CCD. A set of linear CCDs 2000 includes at least a red sensor array 202, a green sensor array 204, and a blue sensor array 206. A plurality of red sensor cells 212, green sensor cells 214, and blue sensor cells 216 of equal area are arranged. The total length (T) of the three-color sensing arrays are all equal. However, in the conventional scanner, the fluorescent lamp used as the light source 1 12 does not emit light uniformly. The light intensity near the middle of the tube is strong, while the light intensity near the sides of the tube is weak. As a result, the light projected by the fluorescent lamp on the original 1 12 is not uniform, so the reflected light signal generated by the document 108 to be scanned is not uniform ', that is, the brightness of the surface of the document 108 is uneven. In addition, when the lens is focused, the reflected light signals on both sides of the document to be scanned will also decay, as shown in Figure 3, which shows the schematic diagram of the optical signal transmitted from the document to be scanned to CCD. Taking point b at the edge of the document to be scanned 308 as an example, the reflected light signal is focused by the lens 316 and then received by the corresponding 13 ′ point on the CCD318. There will be a CG effect, and the middle of the document 308 to be scanned.

541825 五、發明說明(4) 間點c,其反射光訊號則不會衰減。也就是說,即使文件 3 0 8表面具有均勻的輝度1^,(:〇〇318所偵測到文件3 0 8的中 間亮度為L,但最外側亮度則衰減為L X c 〇 s4 Θ ( < L )。541825 V. Description of the invention (4) Between points c, the reflected light signal will not be attenuated. That is, even if the surface of the file 308 has a uniform brightness of 1 ^, (: 〇〇318 has detected that the intermediate brightness of the file 308 is L, but the outermost brightness is attenuated by LX c 〇s4 Θ (& lt L).

從上述可知,光源與透鏡的效應均會影響CCD感測的 效能(p e r f 〇 r m a n c e ),使得C C D的感測曲線如第4圖所示, 兩側呈現衰減現象。習知的解決方法是利用一硬體(h a r d w a v e )自動將衰減的兩側乘上相關係數(g a i η ),以補平兩 側曲線。但是此種做法的缺點是:兩側光訊號的雜訊 (noise)也同時被放大,而使相對應的影像失真。再者, 加入用以乘上相關係數的元件於掃描器内,也會使成本提 高。From the above, it can be known that the effects of the light source and the lens will affect the efficiency of the CCD sensing (p r f 0 r m a n c e), so that the C C D sensing curve is as shown in FIG. 4, and the two sides show attenuation. The conventional solution is to use a piece of hardware (h a r d w a v e) to automatically multiply both sides of the attenuation by the correlation coefficient (g a i η) to fill the two sides of the curve. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the noise of the optical signals on both sides is also amplified at the same time, which distort the corresponding image. Furthermore, adding components to the scanner to multiply the correlation coefficient will also increase the cost.

另一個常見於影像感應器的問題是各色之間敏銳度 (sensitivity)的差異。由於紅色感知陣列202、綠色感知 陣列2 0 4、及藍色感知陣列2 0 6的敏銳度(或稱反應度 response)不同,一般而言,格點對於綠色光的敏銳度略 優於對紅色光的敏銳度,而對於藍色光則最不敏銳。因 此,供應相同的能量給各色感知陣列中等面積的格點,其 所反映出來的波形也會不同。也就是說,紅色感知陣列 2 〇 2、綠色感知陣列2 0 4、及藍色感知陣列2 0 6的反應原稿 的對比能力(Modulation Transfer function ,MTF)並不 相同,而使掃描後所得到的影像無法忠實地呈現原稿色 彩。即使調整燈源的色座標,也無法補償紅(R )、綠(G )、 藍(B)三色之間敏銳度的差異。Another common problem with image sensors is the difference in sensitivity between colors. Due to the different sensitivity (or response) of the red perception array 202, the green perception array 204, and the blue perception array 206, in general, the grid points are slightly more sensitive to green light than to red Light sensitivity, but the least sensitive to blue light. Therefore, if the same energy is supplied to the grids of the middle area of each color sensing array, the waveforms reflected by them will also be different. That is to say, the contrast capability (Modulation Transfer Function, MTF) of the original manuscripts for the red perception array 204, the green perception array 204, and the blue perception array 206 is not the same. The image cannot faithfully represent the original colors. Even if the color coordinates of the light source are adjusted, the difference in sensitivity between the three colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) cannot be compensated.

Description of the invention (9) and a blue sensor array 506, which are respectively arranged by an equal number of red% green and blue sen s or cells 0, where the area of the perceptual grid in the red perceptual array 5 0 2 gradually increases from the center perceptual grid 5 1 2 to both sides, so that the area of the edge perceptual grid 5 2 2 is the largest. Similarly, the green perceptual array 5 The area of the perceptual grids in the 0 4 and the blue perceptual array 5 0 6 is gradually increased from the central perceptual grids 5 1 4 and 5 1 6 to both sides, so that the areas of the edge perceptual grids 5 2 4 and 526 are the largest. It is worth noting that although the present invention compensates for the influence of the half-drawing angle on the energy acceptance by changing the area of the perceived grid points, the total length of the three-color perception array must be maintained equal (Ί \), and the three-color perception grids The number needs to be equal to 0. The number of perceptual grids is related to the resolution. For example, with a scanner with a resolution of 6 0 dp i, the number of grid points required to scan a file of length 8. 5 inch is 5100 points (8.5 (i η) X 600 (dot / in) : = 5 100 (dot)) 1. Therefore, each of the three sensing arrays of red, green, and blue requires 5,100 sensing grid points. In the first embodiment, the area of each grid point is changed according to the corresponding half-drawing angle, and the actual CCD grid point is 0. The area is very small. Even if there are dozens of adjacent grid points, the change of half-angle is very small. Therefore, in practical applications, all grid points can be divided into several parts to achieve the effect of compensating the half-angle. 0 In this embodiment, all grid points are divided into corresponding two fields of view. ^ FIG. 6 shows a display device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Description of the Invention (ίο) A schematic diagram of an image sensor with multiple pixel sizes. A set of linear CCDs 600 in FIG. 6 also includes a red sensing array 6 0 2, a green sensing array 6 0 4, and a blue sensing array 6 0 6, and each sensing array is composed of equal numbers. The red, green, and blue perception grids are aligned. Among them, each sensing array can be divided into three corresponding fields of view with the center line 0 as the optical center.红色 For the red sensing array 602, when the field of view is larger than the Η field of view, the long side of the red sensing grid is a and the wide side is b. When the field of view is smaller than the field of view and larger than the field of view of G, the long side of the red sensing grid point is a 'and the wide side is b'. When the field of view is smaller than the G field of view, the long side of the red sensing grid is a '' and the wide side is b ''. Similarly, for the green sensing array 604, when the field of view is larger than the Η field of view, the long side of the green sensing grid is c and the wide side is d. When the field of view is smaller than the Η field of view and larger than the G field of view, the long side of the green sensing grid is c 'and the wide side is d'. When the field of view is smaller than the G field of view, the long side of the green sensing grid is c '' and the wide side is d ''. For the blue perception array 6 06, when the field of view is larger than the field of view, the long side of the blue perception grid is e and the wide side is f. When the field of view is smaller than the Η field of view and larger than the G field of view, the long side of the blue perceived grid point is e ′ and the wide side is f ′. When the field of view is smaller than the G field of view, the long side of the blue sensing grid is e '' and the wide side is Γ '. In this embodiment, the area of the sensing grid located outside the sensing array is large, and the area of the sensing grid located at the center of the sensing array is small, as shown in the figure. Taking the red sensing array 602 as an example, the change in area can be fixed on the wide side and the long side can be changed, that is, let b'b '= b' ', a > a' > a ''.

It is worth noting that the relationship of a = c = e, a, = c, = e ,, a -c = e '' is maintained among the red, four-color, and blue perception grids. 1 Ran 'is limited to the change of painting only in the corresponding 3 people's field, and the corresponding field of view can be 2, 5, or even more. As long as the perceptual grid is equal to the corresponding field of view, which is a positive integer, it is gradually increased from the outer side of n to compensate for the lack of sensitivity of the edge image. This is the technical feature of the present invention. In addition, the details of how to use the diurnal dimensional change of the present invention to balance the sensitivity differences among the red, green, and blue sensing arrays are described below. Due to the difference in light transmission between the green, red, and blue masks, the sensitivity of the perceived grid to green light is slightly better than the sensitivity to red and blue light ^ ', and the sensitivity of the perceived grid to blue light As the lowest. Therefore, the grid points of the second, middle, and chromatic sensing arrays can generate strong electrical output signals. The present invention is to adjust the area of the perceptual grid points in the three-color array to balance the difference in the three-color sensitivity. Taking Figure 6 as an example, if we do not consider the problem of insufficient sensitivity of the edge image, the area of the perceptual grids that make up the same color is the same, that is, a = a '= a' ', b = b, = b ,, , C = c, = c ,,, d = d, = d ,,, e = e, two e ,,,

The better-perceived green perception array slightly reduces the size of its perceptual grid, that is, ef > ab > cd 0 when it is wonderful; it can also fix the long side 1 and only change the short side, that is, a = c = e? F b > d 0 In the fourth embodiment, in addition to the dimensional changes between pixels for the two-color sensitivity in the third embodiment, the problems of insufficient sensitivity of the edge image and different two-color sensitivity can also be improved. In this embodiment 1 except that the center of the area of the perceptual grid of the same color gradually expands to both sides, the area of the green perceptual grid is also smaller than the area of the corresponding red perceptive grid and the area of the corresponding blue perceptual grid is the largest.
