When the readout circuit works normally, the image signals can only be processed frame by frame, if the readout operation of the image signal of the previous frame is not finished, the image signal of the next frame enters the readout circuit, which will cause the CMOS image sensor to work abnormally, therefore, when designing the control timing sequence, the constraint relation between the readout time of the image of the previous frame and the exposure time of the image of the next frame needs to be considered.
In practical situations, the adjustable exposure time is an important performance index of the CMOS image sensor, and the adjustable exposure time leads to a more complex constraint relationship, and has an adjustable exposure time, which is uncertain in length, and the exposure time may be longer than or shorter than the readout time; the existing CMOS image sensor can not automatically adjust the constraint relation, so that the prior art generally needs to synchronously change the corresponding control time sequence when changing the exposure time, the time sequence design is very troublesome, and for a single CMOS image sensor, a large amount of control time sequences cannot be prestored on a device, so that the single CMOS image sensor can only adjust in a limited number of exposure time types, and the adjustment flexibility is poor.

Detailed Description
The principles of the invention are explained below in conjunction with the following drawings:
referring to fig. 2 and 3, in the case shown in fig. 2, after the exposure time is adjusted, the exposure time of the (i + 1) th frame is less than the readout time of the (i) th frame, and in the case shown in fig. 3, after the exposure time is adjusted, the exposure time of the (i + 1) th frame is greater than the readout time of the (i) th frame; fig. 2 and 3 show two common cases when the exposure time is adjusted, namely, the adjusted exposure time may be smaller than the readout time of the previous frame (the case shown in fig. 2) or larger than the readout time of the previous frame (the case shown in fig. 3); after the exposure time is changed, the control time sequence of the CMOS image sensor needs to be correspondingly changed, otherwise, the CMOS image sensor cannot work normally; in order to ensure the normal operation of the CMOS image sensor, in the case shown in fig. 2, the readout operation of the ith frame should be finished in synchronization with the exposure operation of the (i + 1) th frame, and in the case shown in fig. 3, the readout operation of the ith frame should be started in synchronization with the exposure operation of the (i + 1) th frame; in practical situations, the exposure time of a CMOS image sensor is usually adjusted manually and actively, and for the CMOS image sensor, the adjusted exposure time is uncertain, which causes a problem that the exposure time and the control timing are difficult to synchronize; after the scheme of the invention is adopted, when the CMOS image sensor starts a new non-initial frame period, the current exposure time and the reading time of the previous frame period are judged through the detection stage, and the ending time of the detection stage is dynamically adjusted according to the judgment result (namely the starting time of the exposure operation of the next frame period is adjusted), so that the synchronization of the exposure time and the control time sequence is realized; after the present invention is adopted, corresponding to the two cases shown in fig. 2 and 3, the time sequence relations of the processing stages of the two frame periods before and after are respectively shown in fig. 4 and 5.
The CMOS image sensor exposure time sequence control device is a hardware scheme obtained on the basis of the method, and the device also integrates two control modes of external exposure and internal exposure in consideration of the fact that the conventional CMOS image sensor usually adopts a working mode combining external exposure and internal exposure; from the device operation point of view, the difference between the external exposure mode and the internal exposure mode is only that the exposure time source is different, in the external exposure mode, the exposure time is determined by the time interval of the trigger pulse and the end pulse output by the control circuit 9, in the internal exposure mode, the exposure time is provided by the exposure time register 1; the following explains the specific operation procedure by taking the external exposure mode as an example:
1) the control circuit 9 firstly controls the first data selector 10 to gate the exposure time detection module 2 and the exposure time counting module 3, meanwhile, if the current frame period is an initial frame period, the control circuit 9 controls the second data selector 11 to gate the enable signal output end and the exposure time counting module 3, and if the current frame period is a non-initial frame period, the control circuit 9 controls the second data selector 11 to gate the third data selector 12 and the exposure time counting module 3; then, the control circuit 9 outputs a trigger pulse and an end pulse to the exposure time detection module 2 in sequence, and at the same time of outputting the trigger pulse, the control circuit 9 outputs exposure control time and reading time to the comparison module 7 (the exposure control time at this moment is the time interval between the currently output trigger pulse and the corresponding end pulse; because the reading time and the amplification and quantization processing time are not influenced by the change of the exposure time, the reading time and the amplification and quantization processing time are both regarded as fixed values);
after receiving the exposure control time and the readout time, the comparison module 7 can compare the duration of the exposure control time and the readout time: if the reading time is longer than the exposure control time, the exposure time of the next frame and the reading time of the previous frame are required to be synchronously finished at the moment, and the alignment time is required to be provided by the exposure initial position control module 8, so that the comparison module 7 outputs a first command to the data selector III 12, and the data selector III 12 gates the exposure initial position control module 8 and the data selector II 11; if the reading time is less than the exposure control time, the exposure time of the next frame and the reading time of the previous frame need to be started synchronously, and the alignment time needs to be provided by the FOT time sequence control module 5, so that the comparison module 7 outputs a command II to the data selector III 12, and the data selector III 12 enables the FOT time sequence control module 5 and the data selector II 11 to be gated; under the condition of an initial frame period, because the second data selector 11 does not gate the third data selector 12 and the exposure time counting module 3, the exposure starting position control module 8 and the FOT time sequence control module 5 do not play a role in the initial frame period;
2) when receiving the trigger pulse, the exposure time detection module 2 starts counting, and when receiving the end pulse, the exposure time detection module 2 stops counting and obtains the time interval between the trigger pulse and the end pulse, namely the external exposure time, and the exposure time detection module 2 transmits the external exposure time to the exposure time counting module 3 for caching; when the external exposure time is obtained, the exposure time counting module 3 transmits the external exposure time to the exposure initial position control module 8;
3) if the current frame period is the initial frame period, the trigger signal output by the second data selector 11 is from the enable signal output by the enable signal output terminal, and if the current frame period is the non-initial frame period, the trigger signal output by the second data selector 11 is from the output signal of the third data selector 12 (i.e. from one of the exposure initial position control module 8 and the FOT timing control module 5); under the control of the trigger signal, the exposure time counting module 3 outputs a start command to the exposure time sequence control module 4; when outputting a start command, the exposure time counting module 3 starts counting, and when the counting duration reaches the duration of the external exposure time, the exposure time counting module 3 synchronously outputs an end command to the exposure time sequence control module 4 and the exposure initial position control module 8;
when receiving a start command, the exposure timing control module 4 outputs a first driving signal to the pixel circuit to control the pixel circuit to perform an exposure operation; when receiving the end command, the exposure timing control module 4 outputs a second driving signal to the pixel circuit to control the pixel circuit to end the exposure operation; while outputting the second driving signal, the exposure timing control module 4 outputs a first trigger signal to the FOT timing control module 5;
when receiving the end command, the exposure starting position control module 8 starts counting, and when the counting time length reaches the time length of the time difference value, the exposure starting position control module 8 outputs a third trigger signal to the third data selector 12; if the current frame period is a non-initial frame period and the readout time is longer than the exposure control time, the trigger signal output by the second data selector 11 is from the third trigger signal output by the exposure start position control module 8 (it should be noted that, in the non-initial frame period, if the readout time is longer than the exposure control time, the third trigger signal output by the exposure start position control module 8 is an error signal at this time, but since the third data selector 12 does not gate the exposure start position control module 8 and the second data selector 11 at this time, the normal operation of the device is not affected);
4) when receiving the first trigger signal, the FOT timing control module 5 controls the amplification quantization processing circuit to amplify and quantize the photo-generated charges output by the pixel circuit according to the FOT control timing; when the amplification and quantization processing is finished, the FOT time sequence control module 5 synchronously outputs a second trigger signal to the data selector III 12 and the reading time sequence control module 6; if the current frame period is a non-initial frame period and the readout time is less than the exposure control time, in step 3), the trigger signal output by the second data selector 11 is from the second trigger signal output by the FOT timing control module 5 (corresponding to the exposure start position control module 8, in the non-initial frame period, if the readout time is less than the exposure control time, the second trigger signal output by the FOT timing control module 5 is also an error signal, but since the third data selector 12 does not gate the FOT timing control module 5 and the second data selector 11 at this time, the normal operation of the device is not affected);
5) when receiving the second trigger signal, the reading timing control module 6 controls the reading circuit to read the signal output by the amplification and quantization processing circuit according to the reading control timing;
when the CMOS image sensor operates in the internal exposure mode, the operation process thereof differs from the foregoing process only in that: at first, the control circuit 9 controls the first data selector 10 to gate the exposure time register 1 and the exposure time counting module 3, and at the same time, the control circuit 9 does not control the exposure time detection module 2 to output trigger pulses and end pulses any more, but controls the exposure time register 1 to output internal exposure time; in the external working mode, the technician makes the control circuit 9 output corresponding trigger pulses and end pulses to realize the exposure time adjustment through the man-machine interaction device, and in the internal working mode, the technician makes the control circuit 9 modify the internal exposure time in the exposure time register 1 through the man-machine interaction device to realize the exposure time adjustment.
Although the present invention provides only one embodiment, various devices adopted in the foregoing devices and partial functions achieved by a single device are common in the prior art, and a person skilled in the art with the basic knowledge in the art can construct control devices with different structures after the principle of the present invention is clarified.
After the invention is adopted, no matter which working mode the CMOS image sensor works in, the CMOS image sensor can automatically realize the synchronization of the exposure time and the control time sequence after the exposure time is adjusted, thereby greatly improving the flexibility of the exposure time adjustment and enabling the CMOS image sensor to be suitable for more exposure scenes.
