Description

Optical centre monitoring device and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of optical centre monitoring device and method.More particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of optical centre monitoring device and method that a digital picture forms system that be applied to.
Background technology
It is wide popular consumer products that digital camera is become by the professional equipment of costliness.Its principle is to utilize camera lens with the sensor of image projection to digital camera, for example on the Charged Coupled Device (ChargeCoupled Device, abbreviation CCD).By Charged Coupled Device, the light signal with camera lens is taked converts the digital picture signal to, by the processing of electronic circuit, the digital picture signal is stored in the internal memory again.
Image sensor is generally the form of an array, by 320 * 240,640 * 480,1280 * 960 of very early time, the main flow on the market 2048 * 1536 up to now.Thereby along with the continuous progress of sensor, digital camera occupies the ground of a seat gradually on market, and along with digital camera and sensor component succeeding in developing in succession, digital camera replaces traditional camera gradually and becomes main flow on the market at present.
Form in the assembling process of device (as digital camera or lens assembly) in digital picture, it is an individual good problem to study that the optical axis that how to detect sensor array center and eyeglass aligns levels of collimation.Especially form in the device in high-quality digital picture, also need the center of sensor array itself is aimed at the optical axis (optical axis) of eyeglass, and the intersection point on lens light axis and this sensor array, be this paper alleged " optical centre ", the optical axis by calibration sensor array center and eyeglass is best in quality with the acquisition image.
General known calibrating mode is to utilize register pin (position pin), sensor array is fixed in the position on a picture plane (image plane) in lens barrel (lens barrel) structure.Yet in higher SLR (single lens reflex) camera system,, therefore need more complicated design because the camera lens of camera can be changed.For example at United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 483, in No. 284,, exactly sensor array is arranged on the position on picture plane by the register pin on four corners.Yet United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 483 there is no the direction that is disclosed in vertical optical axis No. 284, adjusts the position of sensor with respect to lens light axis.Relative therewith, United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 628 is then addressed a kind of fixed sturcture in No. 339, is to utilize a shaft collar (mountingplate), can adjust the position of sensor with respect to lens light axis in the direction of vertical and parallel optical axis.
About the definition of optical axis, can be referring to " http://www.photonics.com/directory/ ", or " http://www.usa.canon.com/eflenses/lens1001/glossary/index_a.htm l ".Briefly, in a reflective or refraction type optical module, " optical axis " is the axis by each surface curvature center of assembly, and optical axis also can be by the focus of this optical module.Because optical axis is not an entity, therefore do not have a kind of mode easily at present, with alignment optical center whether, the center of judging sensor itself.Eyeglass when light beam incident one camera with the direction of parallel optical axis, can focus on a focus of this eyeglass, and the light intensity that is detected on this focal position has a maximal value, so position that can have the maximal value light intensity by searching, seeking the focus of this eyeglass, and alignment optical center whether, the center of further judging sensor.Yet in practical application, noise may cause recording the position of maximal value light intensity, is not equal to the position of focus, and then causes a deviation in the process of aiming at.
