Specific embodiment
Referring to FIG. 2, Fig. 2 be the fixed pattern noise removal of the embodiment of the present invention one (fixed pattern noise, FPN) the schematic diagram of process 20.As shown in Fig. 2, fixed pattern noise removal process 20 is in an image sensor comprising Following steps:
Step 200: starting.
Step 202: according to multiple compensated pixel value in each column pixel, calculating each offset of corresponding each column pixel.
Step 204: according to each offset of each column pixel, when sampling multiple photosensitive area pixel values of a photosensitive area It compensates, to generate multiple compensation photosensitive area pixel values;Wherein, photosensitive to generate this more for multiple photosensitive area pixels in the photosensitive area A photosensitive area pixel value.
Step 206: terminating.
According to fixed pattern noise removal process 20, the present invention first according to multiple compensated pixel value in each column pixel, is calculated Each offset of corresponding each column pixel is sampling the multiple of a photosensitive area further according to each offset of each column pixel When multiple photosensitive area pixel values produced by photosensitive area pixel is photosensitive, multiple photosensitive area pixel value is compensated, it is more to generate A compensation photosensitive area pixel value.In this case, since the present invention only needs to store corresponding each column pixel in memory Each offset is even not required to store in memory, therefore need to store whole shading in memory compared to well-known technique and shine Storage space can substantially be saved.In this way, the present invention only needs each offset for calculating corresponding each column pixel to compensate, And storage space can be saved and reduce computational complexity.
For example, referring to FIG. 3, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of one image sensor 30 of the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in figure 3, Image sensor 30 can produce compensation photosensitive area pixel value CAPViGiving an image processor 32 makes it generate an image data ID, Image sensor 30 include a picture element matrix 300, a sampler 302, a Memory Controller 304, linear memory 306, 308,310,312, one adder 314 of multiplier, a subtracter 316 and an analog-digital converter (analog to Digital converter, ADC) 318, wherein picture element matrix 300 includes a photosensitive area (Active Pixel Area) 320 and a shading region (Optical Black Area) 322, and picture element matrix 300 is that Bell schemes (Bayer Pattern) knot Structure, therefore its each pixel is only a red pixel R, one in green pixel Gr, Gb and a blue pixel B three primary colors pixel To sense particular color.
In simple terms, under an original state, image sensor 30 can first set sensitivity (ISO) and increase as a specific operation Benefit, so that sampler 302 samples under the specific operation gain and calculates in a shading region 322 each primary color pixels in each column pixel Each column primary color pixels average value sum (CP(c)j)/CPN(c)j、sum(CP(c)k)/CPN(c)kWith each primary colors picture of this in shading region 322 Each primary color pixels average value AVE of elementj、AVEkDifference LM306(c)j、LM308(c)k(the certain primary color pixel of particular bar it is average with The average difference of whole certain primary color pixels is the fixation pattern noise of the certain primary color pixel of particular bar), then by memory Controller 304 stores in on-line memory 306,308, and following (whole pixels are not photosensitive in shading region 322, in this embodiment There can be 16 column calculating averagely with benefit, and it is each described in each primary color pixels value, that is, step 202 in each column pixel in shading region 322 Multiple compensated pixel value in column pixel):
LM306(c)j=AVEj–sum(CP(c)j)/CPN(c)j,AVEj=sum(OBPj)/OBPNj,j=R,Gr
LM308(c)k=AVEk–sum(CP(c)k)/CPN(c)k,AVEk=sum(OBPk)/OBPNk,k=Gb,B
Wherein, sum (CP(c)j)/CPN(c)j、sum(CP(c)k)/CPN(c)kRespectively indicate primary color pixels j, k in a field c Quantity of the pixel value summation divided by primary color pixels j, k, sum (OBPj)/OBPNj、sum(OBPk)/OBPNkRespectively indicate shading region In 322 the pixel value summation of primary color pixels j, k divided by primary color pixels j, k quantity.
For example, the 1st column Yin Beier graph structure of left side only has red pixel R and green pixel Gb, when being intended to calculate the 1st column Column red pixel average value sum (CP(1)R)/CPN(1)RWhen, can by shading region 322 in the 1st column all red pixel R picture Element value is added the then quantity divided by the 1st column red pixel R, then calculates the red pixel of red pixel R in shading region 322 again Average value AVER, i.e., the pixel value of red pixel R all in shading region 322 is added the then number divided by all red pixel R Amount, then subtracts each other and takes difference LM306(1)RIt is stored in the position of corresponding 1st column red pixel R.The rest may be inferred, can calculate other The difference LM of corresponding red pixel R, green pixel Gr, Gb and blue pixel B in column306(c)j、LM308(c)kIt stores respectively again In on-line memory 306,308, wherein since separately column have same pixel arrangement in Bell's graph structure, only need two Alignment memory 306,308 can store the difference of the average value of all column primary color pixels, and since fixed pattern noise is solid Determine noise, therefore can set specific operation gain is a maximum actual gain clearly to note down.
Then, sensitivity is set as specific operation gain in original state image sensor 30, then Memory Controller 304 by difference LM306(c)j、LM308(c)kAfter storing on-line memory 306,308, under a sense state, sampler 302 is to photosensitive The sampling of area 320 generates photosensitive area pixel value APVi, and it is an analog gain AG by multiplier that image sensor 30, which sets sensitivity, 310 accordingly to photosensitive area pixel value APViGain is carried out, then by analog-digital converter 318 by photosensitive area pixel value after gain APViSwitch to a digital form.At the same time, Memory Controller 304 can be by reading corresponding difference in linear memory 306,308 Value LM306(c)j、LM308(c)k, then specific operation gain set by analog gain AG and original state is multiplied by as multiplier 312 One ratio obtains fixing pattern noise under analog gain AG (because fixed pattern noise is steady noise, it is therefore assumed that can be with gain Equal proportion zoom), then by one of whole certain primary color pixels in shading region 322 under the aggregation of adder 314 analog gain AG Shading region certain primary color pixel average OBAi(the not irradiation, therefore shading region certain primary color pixel average of shading region 322 OBAiRepresent the size of existing dark current under the non-irradiation of certain primary color pixel) each offset of each column pixel is obtained, then subtract Musical instruments used in a Buddhist or Taoist mass 316 is again by photosensitive area pixel value APViEach offset for subtracting corresponding each column pixel obtains compensation photosensitive area pixel value CAPVi, it is as follows:
OBAi=sum(AGOBPi)/AGOBPNi
CAPVi=APVi-OBAi+LM(c)i*AG
i=R,Gr,R,Gr;LM(c)i=LM306(c)j、LM308(c)k
Wherein, sum (AGOBPj)/AGOBPNjIndicate that the pixel value of primary color pixels i in shading region 322 under analog gain AG is total With the quantity divided by primary color pixels i.
In this way, which image sensor 30 only need to store difference using two alignment memories 306,308 in original state LM306(c)j、LM308(c)k, then the simple combination for passing through multiplier 312, adder 314 and subtracter 316 in sense state The fixed pattern noise of elimination is compensated, therefore storage space can be saved and reduce computational complexity.
It is worth noting that, essentially consisting in for above-described embodiment can calculate each offset of corresponding each column pixel and be mended It repays, to save storage space and reduce computational complexity.Those of ordinary skill in the art, which work as, to modify or change accordingly, And it is without being limited thereto.For example, referring to FIG. 4, Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram of another image sensor 40 of the embodiment of the present invention.Image Sensor 40 is similar to 30 part of image sensor, therefore the identical component of function and signal are indicated with the same symbol.Image passes Sensor 40 and image sensor 30 main difference is that, image sensor 40 does not pass through memory storage in the initial state Difference, but sampler 302 samples generation photosensitive area pixel value APV to photosensitive area 320 under sense stateiAnd multiplier 310 When carrying out subsequent operation with analog-digital converter 318, while being sampled by a computing unit 400 and being calculated each in shading region 322 Each shading region column pixel average OBCA of column pixeliAs each offset of each column pixel, (this column pixel average is wrapped simultaneously Dark current composition and fixed pattern noise component are included, and in shading region 322 in each column pixel described in each column pixel value, that is, step 202 Each column pixel in multiple compensated pixel value), then by subtracter 402 by photosensitive area pixel value APViSubtract corresponding each column pixel Each offset (i.e. each shading region column pixel average OBCAi) obtain compensation photosensitive area pixel value CAPVi', as follows:
OBCAi=sum(OBCPi)/OBCPNi
CAPVi'=APVi-OBCAi
i=R,Gr,R,Gr
Wherein, sum (OBCPj)/OBCPNjIndicate under analog gain AG in shading region 322 primary color pixels i in specific fields Pixel value summation divided by primary color pixels i quantity.
In this way, since image sensor 40 direct sample and calculates in shading region 322 each when photosensitive area 320 is photosensitive Each shading region column pixel average OBCA of column pixeliAs each offset of each column pixel, then pass through subtracter 402 The fixed pattern noise of elimination is compensated, therefore is not required to memory and computational complexity can be reduced.
Furthermore referring to FIG. 5, Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram of another image sensor 50 of the embodiment of the present invention.Image sensor 50 It is similar to 30 part of image sensor, therefore the identical component of function and signal are indicated with the same symbol.Image sensor 50 with Image sensor 30 main difference is that, image sensor 50 sets sensitivity under an original state and increases as a specific operation After benefit, the connection of photosensitive area pixel in a photosensitive area 520 of a sampler 502 and a picture element matrix 500 can be cut off (due to disconnecting Link between sampler 502 and picture element matrix 500, therefore 502 reading values of sampler are corresponding 500 part of picture element matrix Circuit values), then calculate sampler 502 and put down corresponding to each column primary colors circuit of each primary color pixels in each column pixel in photosensitive area 520 Mean value sum (CC(c)j)/CCN(c)j、sum(CC(c)k)/CCN(c)kCorrespond to each primary colors picture in photosensitive area 520 with sampler 502 Each primary colors circuit average value CAVE of elementj、CAVEkDifference LM506(c)j、LM508(c)k(the certain primary color picture corresponding to particular bar The average difference average with the circuit values corresponding to whole certain primary color pixels of the circuit values of element is that sampler 502 corresponds to spy Determine fixation pattern noise caused by the certain primary color pixel on column), then on-line memory is stored by a Memory Controller 504 506, in 508, as follows (in photosensitive area 520 in each column pixel in each column pixel described in each primary colors circuit average value, that is, step 202 Multiple compensated pixel value):
LM506(c)j=CAVEj–sum(CC(c)j)/CCN(c)j
CAVEj=sum(APCj)/APCNj,j=R,Gr
LM508(c)k=CAVEk–sum(CC(c)k)/CCN(c)k
CAVEk=sum(APCk)/APCNk,k=R,Gr
Wherein, sum (CC(c)j)/CCN(c)j、sum(CC(c)k)/CCN(c)kSampler 502 is respectively indicated corresponding to photosensitive area Quantity of the circuit values summation of primary color pixels j, k divided by primary color pixels j, k, sum (APC in 520 1 field cj)/APCNj、sum (APCk)/APCNkSampler 502 is respectively indicated corresponding to the circuit values summation of primary color pixels j, k in photosensitive area 520 divided by primary colors The quantity of pixel j, k.
For example, the 1st column Yin Beier graph structure of left side only has red pixel R and green pixel Gb, when being intended to calculate the 1st column Column red circuit average value sum (CC(1)R)/CCN(1)RWhen, it can be first by the separated company of sampler 502 and picture element matrix 500 Knot, then sampler 502 simulate each red pixel R in normal operating connection the 1st column of photosensitive area 520 obtain corresponding circuit values into Row aggregation then calculates the red corresponding to red pixel R in photosensitive area 520 then divided by the quantity of the 1st column red pixel R again Circuit average value CAVER, i.e., all red pixel R are obtained corresponding in the simulation of sampler 502 normal operating connection photosensitive area 520 Circuit values add up the then quantity divided by all red pixel R, then subtract each other and take difference LM506(1)RIt is stored in corresponding The position of 1 column red pixel R.The rest may be inferred, can calculate corresponding red pixel R, green pixel Gr, Gb and indigo plant in other columns The difference LM of color pixel B506(c)j、LM508(c)kIt is separately stored in linear memory 506,508 again, wherein due to Bell's graph structure In separately column there is same pixel arrangement, therefore only need two alignment memories 506,508 that can store all column primary color pixels Average value difference, and since fixed pattern noise is steady noise, can set specific operation gain is one maximum to grasp Make gain clearly to note down.
Then, original state image sensor 50 set sensitivity as specific operation gain and disconnect sampler 502 with Link between picture element matrix 500, then Memory Controller 504 is by difference LM506(c)j、LM508(c)kStorage on-line memory 306, After 308, under a sense state, image sensor 50 is connected again to be linked between sampler 502 and picture element matrix 500, so that Sampler 502 samples photosensitive area 520 and generates photosensitive area pixel value APVi, and image sensor 50 sets sensitivity and increases as simulation Beneficial AG is by multiplier 310 accordingly to photosensitive area pixel value APViGain is carried out, then will be felt after gain by analog-digital converter 318 Light area pixel value APViSwitch to a digital form.At the same time, Memory Controller 504 can be by reading in linear memory 506,508 Take corresponding difference LM506(c)j、LM508(c)k, then as multiplier 312 be multiplied by analog gain AG with it is specific set by original state One ratio of actual gain obtains fixing pattern noise under analog gain AG (being steady noise because fixing pattern noise, therefore false If can be with gain equal proportion zoom), then by whole specific originals in shading region 322 under the aggregation of adder 314 analog gain AG One shading region certain primary color pixel average OBA of color pixeli(the not irradiation, therefore shading region certain primary color picture of shading region 322 Plain average value OBAiRepresent the size of existing dark current under the non-irradiation of certain primary color pixel) obtain each compensation of each column pixel Value, then subtracter 316 is again by photosensitive area pixel value APViEach offset for subtracting corresponding each column pixel obtains compensation sense Light area pixel value CAPVi", as follows:
OBAi=sum(AGOBPi)/AGOBPNi
CAPVi"=APVi-OBAi+LM(c)i*AG
