The image light source 30 may be a RGB three-color laser or other types of light sources, and the feedback light source 31 may be an invisible light source, such as: infrared laser light source or ultraviolet laser light source, etc. The optical scanning device 32 may be a fiber scanner, or may be a MEMS (micro electro Mechanical Systems) scanning mirror or the like. The preset object is a character, a pattern, or the like, which is not limited in the present invention.
And an optical waveguide 33 including a coupling-in unit 330, wherein the coupling-in unit 330 is configured to couple light emitted from the optical scanning device 32 into the optical waveguide 33 partially as shown by a solid line in fig. 3A and partially transmit through the optical waveguide 33 as shown by a dotted line in fig. 3A.
The optical scanning device 32 and the image acquisition unit 34 are arranged on two sides of the optical waveguide 33, the image acquisition unit 34 faces the optical scanning device 32, and the image acquisition unit 34 is used for acquiring feedback image light penetrating through the optical waveguide 33 and generating an acquired image corresponding to the feedback image. The image capturing unit 34 may be implemented by a device having an imaging function, such as a camera or a video camera. Readable storage medium 35 includes, but is not limited to, disk storage, CD-ROM (Compact disk Read-Only Memory), optical storage, and the like. The readable storage medium 35 has stored thereon a program which, when executed by the processor 36, performs the steps of: the features of the preset object in the acquired image and the features of the preset object in the standard projection image are compared to obtain a comparison result, and the driving signal of the optical scanning device 32 is adjusted based on the comparison result.
In the scheme, the comparison result can reflect the motion trail of the end face of the optical fiber, so that the motion trail of the optical fiber in the optical fiber scanning imaging system can be monitored, and further, a feedback signal can be provided according to the motion trail of the optical fiber for compensation control, so that the technical problem of projection quality degradation is solved. In addition, in the scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the image acquisition unit 34 is arranged facing the optical scanning device 32 to acquire the light emitted by the feedback light source 31 so as to monitor the motion track of the optical fiber, the structure is simple, the vibration states of the optical scanning device 32 and the optical fiber are not influenced, and the utilization rate of the imaging light is not reduced.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the feature of the preset object in the acquired image includes a size and/or a contour of the preset object in the acquired image, and correspondingly, the feature of the preset object in the standard projection image includes a size and/or a contour of the preset object in the standard acquired image. The standard projection image may be a projection image obtained through parameter simulation calculation, or may be a projection image of the near-eye display device in an ideal non-interference environment, which is not limited in the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the comparison of the size and/or the profile of the preset object is performed because when the amplitude of the optical fiber scanner changes, the size of the preset object in the captured feedback image changes due to the change of the motion trajectory of the end face of the optical fiber along with the amplitude change of the optical fiber scanner, and therefore, the size characteristic can be detected to reflect the amplitude change of the optical fiber scanner and the change of the motion trajectory of the end face of the optical fiber. When the amplitude of the optical fiber scanner changes little or unchanged and the phase of the optical fiber scanner changes (generally, the scanning phase changes in the horizontal direction), the vertical line in the preset object profile will be split, and one vertical line will be split into two vertical lines, so that the profile characteristic can be used as a characteristic to detect, and the phase change of the optical fiber scanner can be reflected.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the feedback light source 31 may be an infrared laser light source, and the infrared laser light source may modulate and output a feedback image at any part of the display screen, where the feedback image includes a preset object, and the preset object is a character, a pattern, or the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the preset object is a "farm" character. Correspondingly, the camera which is used for detecting the motion trail of the optical fiber end face of the optical fiber scanner works in an infrared mode, and the requirement on the camera for small-field shooting is lower, so that enough sampling precision can be realized without high pixel density, and the camera can only shoot the 'field' character area; alternatively, an optical element group (similar to a magnifier) with a magnifying function is arranged in front of the camera, so that the character area of the 'farmland' is magnified in front of the camera. Therefore, the pixels of the whole camera are used for shooting a part of the projection picture, so that the shooting result can be more accurate.
Next, the scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking the optical scanning device 32 as an optical fiber scanner and the preset object as a "field" character.
In a possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the program stored on the readable storage medium when executed by the processor for implementing the steps of comparing the feature of the preset object in the acquired image with the feature of the preset object in the standard projection image to obtain a comparison result, and adjusting the driving signal of the optical scanning device based on the comparison result specifically includes the following steps.
Step 401, calculating a size difference between the size of the preset object in the acquired image and the size of the preset object in the standard projection image. Assuming that the preset object is a "tian" shape, as shown in fig. 5A, it is a schematic view of a picture projected by the infrared laser source through the optical fiber scanner, as shown in fig. 5B, it is a schematic view of a content shot by the camera in an ideal state. If the amplitude of the scanning fiber of the fiber scanner drifts, a situation as shown in fig. 5C may occur, where the solid line is an image in an ideal state, the dotted line is an image in an actual state, that is, there is a size difference between the preset object in the ideal state and the preset object in the actual state, and according to the size difference, if the size of the preset object in the collected image is smaller than that in the standard projection image, the scanning amplitude of the fiber scanner is decreased, and if the size of the preset object in the collected image is larger than that in the standard projection image, the scanning amplitude of the fiber scanner is increased.
Step 402, adjusting the amplitude of the driving signal of the optical fiber scanner based on the size difference. That is, when the amplitude variation of the optical fiber scanner is detected, the mismatch of the scanning amplitude of the optical fiber scanner can be corrected by adjusting the variation of the driving signal of the optical fiber scanner; in the embodiment of the invention, taking an actuator of an optical fiber scanner as an example of a piezoelectric actuator, if the scanning amplitude is reduced, the driving voltage is increased to increase the scanning amplitude; the driving voltage is reduced if the amplitude becomes large to reduce the scanning amplitude. In practical applications, the actuator may also be an electromagnetic drive actuator or an electrostatic drive actuator, and the invention is not limited thereto.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the near-eye display device may store the corresponding relationship between the size difference and the adjustment amplitude of the driving signal in advance, and in step 402, the adjustment may be performed directly according to the corresponding relationship between the size difference and the adjustment amplitude of the driving signal. Alternatively, a driving signal adjustment amplitude value may be stored in the near-eye display device in advance, and in step 402, the adjustment amplitude value may be adjusted directly according to the driving signal.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the size difference calculated in step 401 is not zero, the amplitude of the driving signal of the optical fiber scanner may be adjusted, and of course, a difference threshold may also be preset, and when the size difference calculated in step 401 is greater than or equal to the difference threshold, the amplitude of the driving signal of the optical fiber scanner is adjusted, and no matter which way is used to determine the adjustment amplitude of the driving signal, step 401 and step 402 may be repeatedly executed until the size difference between the preset objects in the ideal state and the actual state is controlled to be zero or the size difference is controlled to be below the difference threshold, so as to eliminate the amplitude variation of the optical fiber scanner, or control the amplitude variation of the optical fiber scanner to be below the amplitude threshold.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the resolution of an image, multiple scanners are often required to be spliced, and as shown in fig. 5E and 5F, the projection images of two fiber scanners are spliced. In the manner described above, the first fiber scanner projects a "farm" character at any location, and the second fiber scanner projects another "farm" character in the vicinity of the "farm" character. In this way, the camera can simultaneously feed back the track conditions of the two scanners by only shooting the double-field character area (the thickened frame area), so that the motion conditions of the scanning optical fibers of the optical fiber scanners are fed back through one camera.
In another possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the program stored on the readable storage medium is executed by a processor to compare the feature of the preset object in the acquired image with the feature of the preset object in a standard projection image, obtain a comparison result, and adjust the driving signal of the fiber scanner based on the comparison result, and specifically includes the following steps.
Step 601, comparing whether the contour of the preset object in the acquired image is the same as the contour of the preset object in the standard projection image, and obtaining a comparison result. Still assume that the preset object is a "tian" word, as shown in fig. 5A, a schematic diagram of a picture projected by the infrared laser source through the fiber scanner, as shown in fig. 5B, a schematic diagram of a content shot by the camera in an ideal state. If the phase of the scanning fiber of the fiber scanner is shifted, a situation as shown in fig. 5D occurs, in which the solid line is an image in an ideal state, and the solid line and the broken line are together an image in an actual state, and it can be seen from fig. 5D that the vertical line in the field outline is split into two vertical lines.
Step 602, when the comparison results are different, adjusting the phase of the driving signal of the optical fiber scanner, so that the phase of the driving signal of the optical fiber scanner is synchronous with the phase of the modulation signal of the image light source. In the embodiment of the present invention, a phase adjustment amount may be stored in the near-eye display device in advance, and the phase adjustment amount may be obtained from an empirical value, and the phase of the drive signal of the optical fiber scanner may be adjusted based on the phase adjustment amount, or the phase of the modulation signal of the image light source and the phase of the modulation signal of the feedback light source may be adjusted based on the phase adjustment amount. When the modulation signal phase of the image light source and the modulation signal phase of the feedback light source are modulated, the modulation signal phase of the image light source and the modulation signal phase of the feedback light source are always kept synchronous.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the feature of the preset object may be other features besides the size and the outline of the preset object, which is not limited in the present invention.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the coupling unit 330 is configured to couple part of the light emitted from the optical scanning device 32 into the optical waveguide 33 and part of the light passes through the optical waveguide 33. In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 3A and 3B, the image capturing unit 34 is disposed opposite to the optical waveguide 33 of the optical scanning device 32 along the exit optical path of the optical scanning device 32, the coupling-in unit 330 is a coupling-in grating, the exit light of the optical scanning device 32 is collimated by the optical system 37 and then enters the optical waveguide 33 via the coupling-in grating to propagate as +1/-1 st diffraction light (shown by a solid line in fig. 3A and 3B), but the 0 th diffraction light (shown by a dotted line in fig. 3A and 3B) of the exit light of the optical scanning device 32 directly enters the image capturing unit 34. It should be noted that, in fig. 3A, the 0 th order diffracted light is projected into the camera, and the three light rays represent three fields of view, which are not parallel light, and are shown in fig. 3A only for indication and do not represent actual light path traces.
In another possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 7, which is a schematic diagram of another possible arrangement manner of the image capturing unit in the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the incoupling unit 330 is an incoupling grating, and since the incoupling grating has a diffraction angle bandwidth (generally, around 35 °), and the incoupling grating has little diffraction effect on the incident light with an incident angle exceeding the diffraction angle bandwidth, the incoupling grating directly transmits the incoupling grating. Therefore, the incident angle of the light emitted from the optical scanning device 32 with respect to the coupling grating may be slightly larger than the diffraction angle bandwidth, for example, 35 °, the designed incident angle is 0 ° - (35+ n) °, and n may be a relatively small value such as 1, 2, and the like. Thus 0-35 of the incident light is propagated by the incoupling waveguide and the remaining n of the incident light (as indicated by the dashed lines in fig. 7) is transmitted through the incoupling grating into the corresponding camera head.
