Description

A kind of automatic exposure control method based on FPGA and device thereof that is applicable to space exploration imaging
Technical field
The present invention relates to the auto-exposure control field in survey of deep space technology, particularly a kind of automatic exposure control method based on FPGA and device thereof that is applicable to space exploration imaging.
Background technology
The auto-exposure control of imaging device is very large on the impact of output image quality.The target of auto-exposure control is that the dark portion of the image details of the shooting body is not lost, and highlights is overexposure not, and the applicable human eye of mean flow rate is watched simultaneously.
While being applied to the imaging device operation on orbit of space exploration, whether the time for exposure is suitable extremely important, too short meeting of time for exposure causes scenery very dark, and the long scenery luminance saturation that can cause, therefore it is essential carrying out auto-exposure control, but auto-exposure control is very complicated, exposure is controlled badly may be absorbed in time for exposure disorder, dark situation when bright while appearance.Therefore whether auto-exposure control is suitable, is vital to imaging device, is related to the success or failure of task.
Civil camera comparative maturity in Control Technique for Automatic Exposure at present, can set needed different exposure control modes according to night scene, daytime, portrait etc., effect is fine, also can adopt aperture priority formula, ShutterPriority Auto formula and program mode auto-exposure control to obtain accurate exposure according to different the shooting bodies.If the Control Technique for Automatic Exposure of civil camera is applied to the space industries such as space exploration, just have limitation.
First from automatic exposure control method, 1. be applied to the imaging device of space exploration, when the shooting body is carried out to imaging, owing to cannot predicting the situations such as the illumination condition, position, shared image area size of the shooting body, cannot set automatic exposure control mode according to scene.Adopt existing integral image brightness to control exposure if be 2. applied to the imaging device of space exploration, if the luminance difference between the shooting body and background is too large, can make the shooting body occur under-exposed or over-exposed phenomenon.If be 3. applied to space exploration imaging device adopt civil camera with reference to brightness value control method, by image block, the brightness of each piece subimage is used to arrange with reference to brightness value, this can obtain by adjusting aperture size with reference to brightness value, certainly equally also can obtain this with reference to brightness value by shutter speed is set, it is unattended being applied to space exploration imaging device, cannot set aperture or shutter.The control that exposes of brightness under research different illumination conditions that what 4. civil camera had pass through and the relation between exposure value, the imaging device that application space is surveyed cannot carry out the demarcation between brightness and exposure value in advance, so can not adopt such exposal control method.5. civilian automatic exposure control method all carries out auto-exposure control based on entire image, in the time that the relative background of the shooting body is very little, can cause the shooting body over-exposed.When the shooting body is very bright, background is when darker, now should reduce the time for exposure; But due to entire image is calculated, the high number of pixels of brightness is much smaller than the low number of pixels of brightness, and therefore entire image is darker, in order to improve the brightness of entire image, continuing increases the time for exposure, finally causes the shooting body over-exposed.Therefore need in existing automatic exposure algorithm, be partitioned into the shooting body image, the shooting body image is carried out to effective auto-exposure control.6. the existing automatic exposure algorithm to the shooting body image, in order to be partitioned into the shooting body image, often adopt constant brightness threshold value to cut apart, but owing to being applied to the temperature impact of space exploration imaging device, constant brightness Threshold segmentation can not adapt to various situations, therefore needs the method that adaptive threshold is cut apart to introduce automatic exposure control method.
Secondly choose from automatic exposure step-length, the step-length of automatic exposure search can affect the balance relation between search speed and search stability.Time for exposure is adjusted the too small meeting of step-length increases searching times, causes reducing search speed; And if the time for exposure adjusts that step-length is long may cause search to restrain, in the optimum exposure point unsettled phenomenon of vacillating now to the left, now to the right.Existing automatic explosion method majority can not be adjusted step-size in search dynamically according to the brightness situation of different scenes.
Last from realizing the device of automatic exposure control method, the general particular microprocessor part adopting of civil camera is realized automatic exposure control method, and such particular microprocessor part generally can not be applied space product, can not under deep space environment, ensure the reliability of space borne imagery device.The device that employing is adapted to space exploration environment is thus realized automatic exposure control method, and automatic exposure control method is optimized.
At present, the method of space optical remote camera adjustments exposure is also few, large-scale remote sensing of the earth camera is because the certainty of its ground target, can use spoke Luminance Analysis software, camera optics and sensor chip characteristic to draw the accurate time for exposure, only need switch according to several grades of time for exposure of the different set of ground scenery.
The domestic space exploration imaging device automatic exposure control method that is applied to is at present because imaging device cannot be identified the shooting body, when in visual field when scenery relative complex, cannot carry out effectively exposure controls, disturbed by noise and non-the shooting body large, make the shooting body brightness in image be difficult to, in a suitable scope, increase the difficulty of auto-exposure control.
