Shown in Figure 1 is the functional block diagram of traditional images disposal system.Wherein, label 10 expression files after the image of file 10 is illuminated by fluorescent tube 12, via the reflection of mirror 14, are focused on by at least one lens 16 again.The image of this focusing is handled via a pretreating device 20 (for example DC current gain amplifier) after being obtained by charge-coupled device (CCD) 18 detections, and this DC current gain amplifier is normally formed by general operational amplifier.Then, analog-digital converter (ADC) 22 is converted to digital signal with processing signals before this analog form, and wherein black is with reference to input R BAnd white reference input R WBe in order to adjust the use working range of analog-digital converter (ADC) 22.Digitized signal is again through after-treatment device 24, for example add agate (Gamma) treatment for correcting after, be stored in the impact damper in the storer 26, with as further handling or demonstration.
Density range is one of important parameter of image processing system (for example image analyzer).This density range is to be relevant to intrasystem signal/noise ratio.For example, have value and be the scan image of 2 density range, have only when system information/noise than greater than 100 (that is 10 2) time, can differentiate and draw this scan image.In general, the signal/noise when system compares greater than 10 DThe time, we claim that its density range is D.Above-mentioned signal/noise is than being determined by signal/noise ratio of charge-coupled device (CCD) and/or signal/noise ratio of system's other parts.As for digital image processing system, then its signal/noise is relevant to the bit number of system than system.For example, when system had 256 gray scales, its signal/noise ratio became 256.And its density range D becomes 2.4 (that is 1og256).
The non-linear effects that traditional images disposal system as shown in Figure 1, this system are subjected to some elements (for example operational amplifier in the pretreating device 20 and charge-coupled device 18) is bigger.Fig. 2 A shows the family curve of conventional charge coupling mechanism, and wherein the light intensity of charge-coupled device is imported in the X-axis representative, and Y-axis is then represented the output voltage of charge-coupled device.Desirable charge-coupled device family curve of dotted line 30 expressions, solid line 32 is then represented general charge-coupled device family curve.The 32a of solid line 32 partly represents the image of dark portion, and 32c represents the image of highlights, has only label 32b partly to have linear characteristic.
The family curve of Fig. 2 B display system density range, wherein input density scope and output density scope are represented with X-axis and Y-axis respectively.The 34a of family curve 34 partly represents the image of dark portion, and 34c represents the image of highlights, has only label 34b partly to have linear characteristic.
Traditional images disposal system as shown in Figure 1, wherein most scanning operating parameters is fixed, and perhaps is not easy at least adjust.These parameters include the time shutter, the black of the yield value of the reflectance of exposure intensity, charge-coupled device 18, DC current gain amplifier 20, analog-digital converter (ADC) 22 with reference to input and white reference input, add agate (Gamma) Correction Processor 24 add the agate value, or the enhancing of after-treatment device 24/weaken function.
Fig. 3 shows the spectrogram of two worst-case, and wherein X-axis is represented gray-scale value, and the Y-axis representative is to the total number of specific gray value.Curve 36 is represented a dark image, and curve 38 is represented a bright image.Because traditional image processing system uses identical parameter handling this two kinds of images, thereby has caused very poor image scanning treatment effect.
