As the optional embodiment of one, as in figure 2 it is shown, focusing lens group is being moved to the first shift position, and After focus-variable lens group is moved to the second shift position, method also includes: calculate focusing lens group in the first shift position with And the focus value that focus-variable lens group is when the second shift position, wherein, focus value is for the definition of the image of shooting;Judgement is The no peak value finding focus value;Without finding peak value, then using the first shift position as the current location of focusing lens group, Using the second shift position as the current location of focus-variable lens group, the object distance after focus adjustment is held as current object distance, return Row determine focus adjustment after the step of object distance to redefine the object distance after focus adjustment;If finding peak value, it is determined that go out Focusing lens group that peak value is corresponding and the position of focus-variable lens group, move to the focusing lens group that peak value is corresponding by focusing lens group Position and focus-variable lens group is moved to the position of focus-variable lens group corresponding to peak value.
Specifically, as in figure 2 it is shown, focus method includes:
Step S201, determines the object distance after focus adjustment.
Step S202, moves according to when the object distance after front focal length and focus adjustment is calculated the first shift position and second Position.
Step S203, moves to the first shift position by focusing lens group, and focus-variable lens group is moved to second moves Position.
Step S201 to S203 is shown in the description in above example, does not repeats.
Step S204, calculates focusing lens group when the first shift position and focus-variable lens group are in the second shift position Focus value.
Focus value (focus value, referred to as FV) may refer to the definition values of the image of shooting, and its value shows the most greatly Image is the most clear.In the present embodiment, often mobile regulation once, calculates and obtains corresponding focus value, and record, in order to Carry out peak value judgement.
Step S205, it may be judged whether find the peak value of focus value.Without finding peak value, then perform step S206, instead It, then perform step S207.After being calculated focus value, carry out peak value inquiry, it may be judged whether peak value can be found every time, So that subsequent treatment.Wherein, peak value meter diagram picture position the most clearly, i.e. focus on final position to be regulated.
Step S206, using the first shift position as the current location of focusing lens group, using the second shift position as change The current location of focus lens group, using the object distance after focus adjustment as current object distance, returns and performs step S201 to redefine Object distance after focus adjustment.When not finding peak value, need again to be adjusted, therefore, return and perform step S201.
Step S207, determines focusing lens group and the position of focus-variable lens group that peak value is corresponding.
Step S208, moves to the position of focusing lens group corresponding to peak value and by focus-variable lens group by focusing lens group Move to the position of focus-variable lens group corresponding to peak value, automatically focus on and terminate.When finding peak value, determine each eyeglass during peak value The position of group, then moves to lens set this position, thus realizes automatically focusing on.
Preferably, as it is shown on figure 3, step S201 includes:
Step S2011, obtains current location and the current location of focus-variable lens group of focusing lens group.
Step S2012, is calculated clearly according to the current location of focusing lens group and the current location of focus-variable lens group Front focal length is worked as in the case of clear focusing.The object distance of present convergence can also be calculated.
Step S2013, utilizes auto-focusing algorithm to calculate focusing lens group and is focusing on the estimation position after moving.Automatically Focusing algorithm includes all existing auto-focusing algorithm of the automatic amasthenic lens of existing support, including climbing method, full search method Deng.
Step S2014, is calculated the object distance after focus adjustment according to the current location estimating position and focus-variable lens group.
Preferably, as a example by using climbing method, first obtain the position z1 of current focus-variable lens group and current focus lamp Sheet group de position f1, calculates clear object distance d1 focused on corresponding to current state and when front focal length EFL according to z1 with f1.
Then use focusing algorithm of climbing the mountain, provide the estimation position f2 ' of next step focusing lens group, as shown in Figure 4.First First check the FV value i.e. focus value number of record in bin, if number is less than a threshold value, does not reaches criterion, then tie up Hold the direction of search constant;If number is more than threshold value, it is judged that the trend of nearest several FV values, if FV value is on a declining curve and expires Foot certain condition, then the direction of search is reverse;If go to the end of hunting zone in current direction, then the direction of search is anti- To. the estimation position f2 ' of next step focusing lens group is determined according to the direction of search.
Its correspondence is calculated then according to the position z1 of current zoom lens set and the estimation position f2 ' of focusing lens group Next object distance d2.According to object distance d2 with when front focal length EFL calculates the position z2 of the next focus-variable lens group of correspondence and gathers The position f2 of focus lens group.
Then drive focus-variable lens group and focusing lens group to move into place z2 and position f2 respectively, and record current change Focus lens group and the position grouping of focusing lens group and the FV value got on its position.Several FV values of judgement record are No have peak value, if there being peak value, take out focus-variable lens group corresponding to FV peak and focusing lens group position grouping z and f.The most respectively z2, f2 and d2 are set to successively the position z1 of current focus-variable lens group, focusing lens group without peak value Position f1 and object distance d1, return use and climb the mountain focusing algorithm, provide the estimation position f2 ' of next step focusing lens group, again Carry out the calculating of next round.
If finding out peak value, then focus-variable lens group and focusing lens group is driven to move into place z and position f, process respectively In focal length EFL need to be kept constant, terminate automatically to focus on.
Alternatively, as it is shown in figure 5, before the object distance after determining focus adjustment, method also includes:
Step S501, obtains current location and the current location of focus-variable lens group of focusing lens group.
Step S502, is calculated clearly according to the current location of focusing lens group and the current location of focus-variable lens group Front focal length is worked as in the case of focusing.
Step S503, calculate minimum object distance or maximum object distance with when focus-variable lens group corresponding to front focal length position and The position of focusing lens group.
Step S201 includes: step S2011, below equation be calculated the object distance after focus adjustment:
d2=d1d
Wherein, d2Represent the object distance after focus adjustment, d1Represent current object distance, d1Initial value be minimum object distance or Big object distance, ΔdRepresent object distance regulated quantity.When starting to search for from minimum object distance, ΔdFor on the occasion of, otherwise, but open from maximum object distance When beginning to search for, ΔdFor negative value.ΔdCan be fixed value, it is also possible to be object distance d1Function, this function can be with d1Increase and Increase.
The present embodiment uses full search method.For short-focus lens, focal length EFL is less than 10 millimeter, supervises being used for Under the scenes such as control, video conference and daily life shooting, its focusing search range is the least, now uses global search FV peak The method of value, can keep being rapidly completed focused search.Existing global search scans the focus-of whole focusing search range FV curve, then finds the peak value of FV, drives focusing lens group to go to this position.Object distance d is then become by the present embodiment as search Amount, as shown in Figure 6, in search procedure, fixed focal length EFL is constant, drives focusing lens group to scan whole object distance range, simultaneously In scanning process, mobile focus-variable lens group compensates.Obtain the d-FV curve of whole object distance range, when finding the peak value of FV pair The focusing lens group answered and the position of focus-variable lens group, drive focusing lens group and focus-variable lens group to go to this position.
