Embodiment
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent more, the present invention is further detailed explanation below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
Because the bad point of imageing sensor is insensitive to the image of input, always can export relatively more fixing pixel value, in the detection of monochrome image, situation about being more or less the same with reference pixel value may appear in the pixel value of bad point, and omission takes place.The present invention detects the method for bad point to monochrome image according to prior art, utilize transducer that the monochrome panel of a plurality of different colours is gathered a plurality of monochrome images, detect by respectively going bad of each monochrome image being put, bad point under the comprehensive comparative analysis different colours environment, thereby draw the bad point of imageing sensor, can detect the bad point of imageing sensor more exactly.
With reference to Fig. 1, show the flow chart of the method embodiment of a kind of dead pixels of image sensor survey of the present invention, comprising:
Step 101 utilizes imageing sensor that the monochrome panel of a plurality of different colours is gathered corresponding monochrome image respectively;
For imageing sensor to be detected, the monochrome panel of a plurality of different colours of its alignment lens is taken pictures, gather corresponding monochrome image.Adopt the monochrome panel of different colours, can obtain the photosensitive property of imageing sensor, thereby obtain the bad point of different colours environment hypograph transducer different colours.The monochrome panel of described different colours can comprise black panel, white panel and other color panel, and choosing of panel color can be chosen according to different examination criterias.If the detection quality requirement of bad point is higher, can choose the panel of a greater number different colours; If the detection quality of bad point otherwise lower then can be chosen the panel of lesser amt different colours.
Preferably, the monochrome image that collects can be the image of RGB pattern, YUV pattern, Lab pattern.The RGB pattern is to obtain color miscellaneous by variation and their stacks each other to red, green, blue three Color Channels, and R represents red R ed, and G represents green Green, and B represents blue Blue.The Lab pattern is a by illumination L and relevant color,, three key elements of b form.L represents illumination (Luminosity), is equivalent to brightness, and a represents the scope from redness to green, and b represents from yellow to blue scope.In the YUV colour model, Y represents brightness, and U and V represent aberration, constitutes two colored components.
Step 102 sorts respectively to each pixel component value of each monochrome image, obtains the component value sequence of each pixel component;
Carry out different orderings according to the pattern difference of the monochrome image that is collected,,, respectively R component value, G component value and B component value are sorted if be the image of RGB pattern at each monochrome image; If be the image of YUV pattern, then respectively Y component value, U component value and V component value are sorted; If be the image of Lab pattern, then respectively L component value, a component value and b component value are sorted.Described sort method has multiple, as bubble sort method, selection sort, insertion ranking method etc.This step obtains the component value sequence of each pixel component of its correspondence for each monochrome image.
Step 103 is determined benchmark pixel component value and compared pixels component value for each component value sequence;
Determine and corresponding benchmark pixel component value of pixel component and compared pixels component value for each component value sequence of each monochrome.Determining of described benchmark pixel component value can be to be positioned at the middle same pixel component value of described component value sequence.Because the pixel of the transducer overwhelming majority is the normal pixel point, the pixel component value of normal pixel point is positioned in the middle of the component value sequence and accounts for the overwhelming majority, therefore will be positioned at the middle same pixel component value of described component value sequence and be defined as the benchmark pixel component value.Can also be that the pixel component value of described component value sequence is asked on average, the average pixel value that obtains is defined as the benchmark pixel component value.Because the pixel component value of bad point is greater than or less than the pixel component value of normal pixel point, so the mean value of each component value preface also can be used as the judgment standard of bad point.
The definite of described compared pixels component value can select the pixel component value except that the benchmark pixel component value in the described component value sequence.Can also according to pre-set criteria with sequence in the described component value sequence before with sequence after component value be defined as the compared pixels component value, wherein, choose different pre-set criteria according to different detection quality, if the detection quality requirement of bad point is higher, choose in the component value sequence before the sequence with sequence after most component value; If the detection quality requirement of bad point is lower, then choose in the component value sequence before the sequence with sequence after the component value of fraction.
Step 104 is calculated the benchmark pixel component value in each component value sequence and the difference of compared pixels component value, if the absolute value of described difference is greater than a bad some threshold value that presets, then corresponding pixel points is judged as the suspected bad point;
Each pixel component for each monochrome image is put a threshold value to the different evil ideas that presets should be arranged, the different detection quality of set basis of the described bad some threshold value that presets is chosen different values, for example for the R component value sequence of black image, if set the higher detection quality, can choose the bad some threshold value that presets is 5, and then the benchmark pixel component value is judged as the suspected bad point with the absolute value of the difference of compared pixels component value greater than 5 o'clock corresponding pixels; If set lower detection quality, can choose the bad some threshold value that presets is 10, and then the benchmark pixel component value is judged as the suspected bad point with the absolute value of the difference of compared pixels component value greater than 10 o'clock corresponding pixels.
Step 105 contrasts the suspected bad point of each pixel component, will have the bad point of the suspected bad point of same coordinate as monochrome image, and with its coordinate record in each monochromatic bad some tabulation;
The suspected bad point of each pixel component with same coordinate is as the bad point of monochrome image, promptly in corresponding color environment, each pixel component value of this point does not have normal standard, and it is undesired that this point shows in corresponding monochrome image, is the bad point of monochrome image.Write down the coordinate of this pixel, corresponding different color is recorded in the tabulation of the bad point of different monochromes.
Step 106 by more described each monochromatic bad some tabulation, is comprehensively determined the bad point coordinates of described imageing sensor.
The bad point coordinates of described imageing sensor is determined according to each monochromatic bad some tabulation analysis-by-synthesis.At the number of times that each monochromatic bad some tabulation occurs, divide different bad some grades according to bad point coordinates of monochrome.At the coordinate that the bad point of each monochrome image is tabulated and all occurred, its corresponding pixel one is decided to be bad point, can be judged as senior bad point; The badly pixel of a tabulation appearance coordinate correspondence once at each monochrome image can be judged as bad point of one-level; The pixel of twice coordinate correspondence occurs, can be judged as bad point of secondary, and by that analogy.According to the needs of user's different application condition, choose the bad point of the bad point of appropriate level as imageing sensor, remaining monochromatic bad point can be ignored it in detection, is considered as normal pixel.
According to the method that above-mentioned a kind of dead pixels of image sensor is surveyed,, parallel processing can be analyzed simultaneously to each monochrome image for the monochrome image of each different colours that collects; Also serial process can be analyzed respectively to the image of each color successively.Preferably, for improving the efficient that bad point detects, each monochrome image is carried out analyzing and processing simultaneously.
The embodiment of the invention utilizes a plurality of monochrome images to detect respectively, can detect the bad point under the multiple color environment, bad point compared with solid color detects, can detect bad point more exactly, avoid the generation of bad some omission phenomenon in the black and white image detection, improved the accuracy that bad point detects.In addition, the present invention carries out analysis-by-synthesis with the badly some tabulation of each monochrome image, according to the number of times that the coordinate of pixel is tabulated and occurred at the bad point of each monochrome image, divides different bad some ranks, can adapt to the needs of different detection quality, and flexibility is strong.

The camera lens of imageing sensor is aimed at the monochrome panel of black, white, redness, green, blueness successively and is taken pictures, and gathers the monochrome image of corresponding black, white, redness, green, blueness.The pattern of described testing image is the RGB pattern.
Step 203 is carried out bubble sort respectively to R component value, G component value and the B component value of each monochrome image, obtains the component value sequence of each pixel component;
R component value for black image carries out bubble sort, obtains the R component value sequence according to the ascending arrangement of R component value, in like manner also obtains G component value sequence and B component value sequence according to the ascending arrangement of G component value and B component value.
Simultaneously, for white, red, green, blue image, obtain R component value sequence, G component value sequence and the B component value sequence of corresponding monochrome image.
Step 204 will be positioned at same pixel component value in the middle of the described component value sequence as the benchmark pixel component value, with the pixel component value as a comparison of the pixel component value except that the benchmark pixel component value in the described component value sequence;
For example, the R component value sequence of black image is:
[236,240,242,245,245,245,245,245,245,245,245,246,252,255]
G component value sequence is:
[237,243,246,247,247,247,247,247,247,247,247,249,252,255]
B component value sequence is:
[236,240,242,245,245,245,245,245,245,245,245,246,252,255]
Then choose 245 benchmark R component values, 236,240,242,246,252,255 comparison G component values as black image as black image; Choose 247 benchmark G component values, 237,243,246249,252,255 comparison component values as black image as black image; Choose 245 benchmark B component values, 236,240,242,246,252,255 comparison B component values as black image as black image.
In like manner, the definite and black image of the benchmark pixel component value of white, redness, green, blue image and compared pixels component value is definite similar.
Step 205 is calculated the benchmark pixel component value in each component value sequence and the difference of compared pixels component value, if the absolute value of described difference is greater than a bad some threshold value that presets, then corresponding pixel points is judged as the suspected bad point;
In the present embodiment.For the R component value sequence of black image, benchmark R component value is respectively 9,5,3,1,6,10 with the difference that compares the R component value.The described bad some threshold value that presets gets 4, judges that then difference is 9,5,6, and the point of 10 correspondences is the suspect pixel point, is designated as suspected bad point a, b, c, d herein.
For the G component value sequence of black image, benchmark G component value is respectively 10,4,1,2,5,8 with the difference that compares the G component value.A described bad some threshold value that presets gets 4, judges that then difference is that the point of 10,5,8 correspondences is the suspect pixel point, is designated as suspected bad point e, f, g herein.
For the B component value sequence of black image, benchmark B component value is respectively 9,6,2,2,5,10 with the difference that compares the B component value.The described bad some threshold value that presets gets 4, judges that then difference is 9,6,5, and the point of 10 correspondences is the suspect pixel point, is designated as suspected bad point h, i, j, k herein.
Accordingly, the judgement of the suspected bad point of each pixel component of white, redness, green, blue image is same as above.
Step 206 for each monochrome image, is recorded in the coordinate of the suspected bad point of R, G, B component the ascending of absolute value by described difference in corresponding R, G, the bad some tabulation of B;
Size according to the absolute value of the difference of pixel correspondence in the step 205, pressing the order of b, c, a, d goes bad the coordinate record of corresponding points in the some tabulation at R, the order of pressing f, g, e with the coordinate record of corresponding points in the bad some tabulation of G, the order of press j, i, h, k with the coordinate record of corresponding points in the bad point of G is tabulated.
Accordingly, the record of white, redness, green, blue image R, G, the bad some tabulation of B is same as above.
Step 207, the bad some tabulation of contrast R, G, B will have the bad point of the suspected bad point of same coordinate as monochrome image, and with its coordinate record in each monochromatic bad some tabulation;
For black image, contrast R, G, the bad some tabulation of B in the present embodiment, have identical coordinate as if some a, e, h, are designated as an A; Point b, g, k have identical coordinate, are designated as a B; Point c, g, i have identical coordinate, are designated as a C, then put A, B, C is the bad point of black image, and A, B, C are recorded in the bad some tabulation of black.
Accordingly, choose the bad point of white, redness, green, blue image and being recorded in the corresponding monochromatic bad some tabulation.
Step 208 by more described each monochromatic bad some tabulation, is comprehensively determined the bad point coordinates of described imageing sensor.
Relatively the bad point of the monochrome of black, white, redness, green, blue image is tabulated, and determines the bad point coordinates of imageing sensor according to the standard that detects.In the present embodiment, the coordinate of postulated point A has occurred five times in the tabulation of described five monochromatic bad points, and the coordinate of some B has occurred four times in the tabulation of described five monochromatic bad points, and the coordinate of some C has only occurred once in the tabulation of the bad point of black.If examination criteria is had relatively high expectations, be decided to be the coordinate that in the tabulation of the bad point of monochrome, occurred at all, then judging point A, B, C are the bad point of imageing sensor; If examination criteria is the coordinate that occurs in the tabulation of the bad point of monochrome more than three times, then judging point A and some B are the bad point of imageing sensor; If it is lower that examination criteria requires, be decided to be the coordinate that in the tabulation of the bad point of monochrome, all occurs, then judging point A is the bad point of imageing sensor.The judgement of other pixels as mentioned above.
