As shown in fig. 1, a first embodiment of the present application provides an optical projection module for projecting a preset sensing light spot pattern onto a measured object for three-dimensional sensing. The optical projection module 1 includes a light source 12, a circuit board 14, a reinforcing plate 15, a lens barrel 16, an optical element 17 disposed on the lens barrel 16, and a protective cover 18 disposed on the light emitting side of the optical element 17. The light beam emitted by the light source 12 is modulated by the optical element 14 to form an emergent light beam with a preset pattern and then projected. The optical element 14 includes, but is not limited to, one of a collimating element, a beam expanding element, a microlens array, a grating, and a diffractive optical element (Diffractive Optical Elements, DOE), and combinations thereof.
In this embodiment, the optical projection module 1 is a three-dimensional sensing device for sensing three-dimensional data of a measured object. The light source 12 emits a set of light beams having a preset light field distribution. The light beam may be a light beam having a specific wavelength according to a sensing principle and an application scene. In this embodiment, the light beam is used to sense three-dimensional information of the measured object, and may be an infrared or near-infrared wavelength light beam with a wavelength ranging from 750 nanometers (nm) to 1650nm.
As shown in fig. 2, the light source 12 includes a semiconductor substrate 120, a plurality of light emitting units 122 formed on the semiconductor substrate 120, an anode 124, and a cathode 126. The light emitting unit 122 is a semiconductor structure capable of emitting light under the action of electric excitation, and is formed on the semiconductor substrate 120 through photolithography, etching, metal organic chemical vapor deposition, or the like. For example, the light emitting unit 122 may be, but is not limited to, a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser, VCSEL). The anode 124 and the cathode 126 are respectively disposed on two opposite end surfaces of the semiconductor substrate 120, so as to induce a current signal to excite the light emitting unit 122 to emit light. The excitation current is greater than 1mA.
It is understood that in other embodiments, the light emitting unit 122 may also be a light emitting Diode (Light Emitting Diode, LED) or a Laser Diode (LD). Accordingly, the light emitting unit 122 is selected from any one of a VCSEL, an LED, and an LD, and a combination thereof.
As shown in fig. 3, the light emitting units 122 are distributed in a two-dimensional lattice in the light emitting region of the semiconductor substrate 120, wherein at least three adjacent light emitting units 122 are non-uniformly spaced on the semiconductor substrate 120. The entire light emitting units 122 have correlation as a whole.
The correlation of the arrangement pattern composed of the plurality of light emitting units 122 is generally evaluated by calculating a correlation coefficient f between the plurality of light emitting units 122 n To proceed if the calculated correlation coefficient f n Greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the light emitting units 122 are considered to have a correlation therebetween.
The correlation coefficient f n The calculation formula of (c) may be, but is not limited to, a normalized correlation coefficient formula (Normalized Correlation Coefficient, NCC) as follows:
wherein,the R is 0 For any selected light emitting unit 122 reference subarea among all light emitting units 122 on the semiconductor substrate 120 according to preset conditions, the light emitting unit 122 references the subarea R 0 Traversing the entire semiconductor substrate 120 light emitting region except R 0 Other than the reference sub-region R of the light emitting unit 122 is calculated 0 And the luminous unit subarea R passing through in the traversal process n Is of the correlation coefficient f of (2) n . Said-> H is the subregion R of the light-emitting unit 122 under consideration n W is the height of the considered sub-region R of the lighting unit 122 n Is a width of (c). The selected light emitting unit 122 refers to the sub-region R 0 The preset condition of (a) is that the selected lighting unit 122 reference sub-area includes a proportion of the number of lighting units 122 to the total number of all lighting units 122 that is greater than or equal to 10% or that the selected lighting unit 122 reference sub-area includes more than ten lighting units 122. The total number of all the light emitting units 122 is greater than or equal to 50.
It is understood that the light emitting unit 122 refers to the sub-region R 0 Traversing by adopting a translation mode in a plane rectangular coordinate system. In order to exclude the influence of the background area outside the light emitting units 122 in the arrangement pattern on the normalized correlation coefficient when calculating the normalized correlation coefficient of the light emitting units 122, the area of the light emitting units 122 is expanded with the center of the light emitting units 122 as the origin before calculation, so as to avoid that the normalized correlation coefficient calculated by the above formula cannot reflect the actual correlation between the light emitting units 122 due to the excessive specific gravity of the background area in the whole arrangement pattern when the physical size of the light emitting units 122 is small. For example, the light emitting unit 122 arrangement pattern with low correlation can also calculate a high normalized correlation coefficient. After the expansion of the area of the light emitting unit 122, the specific gravity of the background area is reduced, and the result is calculatedThe normalized correlation coefficient of the arrangement pattern of the light emitting units 122 can reflect the actual correlation between the light emitting units 122 to the maximum. The expansion of each light-emitting unit 122 area is performed in the same scale, and the expansion degree is enough that the adjacent light-emitting unit 122 areas do not overlap each other after expansion.
In addition, it is also possible to take only the reference subarea R of the light emitting unit 122 when the normalized correlation coefficient is calculated according to the above formula 0 And traversed luminous unit subarea R n Coordinates corresponding to the area occupied by the light emitting unit 122 are not taken from coordinates corresponding to the background area. That is, R (i, j) =1 (i, j takes the corresponding coordinates in the area occupied by the light emitting unit) to exclude the influence of the background area on the actual correlation of the light emitting unit 122 when calculating the normalized correlation coefficient.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the light emitting unit 122 references the sub-region R 0 Traversal may also be performed in a polar coordinate system in a manner that rotates about the origin of coordinates.
Normalized correlation coefficient f calculated according to the normalized correlation coefficient formula n The value range of (2) is 0-f n And is less than or equal to 1. If f n =0, explaining the selected light-emitting unit 122 reference subarea R 0 The light emitting units 12 and the traversing light emitting unit 122 sub-region R n The light emitting units 12 in (a) are completely staggered without any coincidence, i.e. the light emitting units 122 refer to the sub-regions R 0 And the luminous unit 12 is divided into a region R n Completely uncorrelated.
If f n =1 describes the reference sub-region R of the selected light emitting cell 122 0 The light emitting units 12 and the traversing light emitting unit 122 sub-region R n The light-emitting units 122 in (a) are identical, i.e. the light-emitting units 122 refer to the sub-region R 0 And the luminous unit 122 sub-region R n Is completely correlated.
If 0 is<f n <1 illustrates a selected light-emitting cell 122 reference sub-region R 0 The light-emitting units 122 in (a) and the traversing light-emitting unit 122 sub-region R n The light emitting units 122 in (a) partially overlap, i.e. the light emitting units 122 refer toSub-region R 0 And the luminous unit 122 sub-region R n Partial correlation, the normalized correlation coefficient f n The larger the reference sub-region R of the selected light emitting unit 122 is illustrated 0 The light-emitting units 122 in (a) and the traversing light-emitting unit 122 sub-region R n The more the light emitting units 122 overlap each other, i.e. the light emitting units 122 refer to the sub-region R 0 And the luminous unit 122 sub-region R n The higher the correlation between them.
If the normalized correlation coefficient f n 0.3, the light-emitting unit 122 can be considered to refer to the sub-region R 0 And the luminous unit 122 sub-region R n In relation, the light emitting units 122 have a correlation therebetween. If the normalized correlation coefficient f n 0.5, the light-emitting unit 122 can be considered to refer to the sub-region R 0 And the luminous unit 12 is divided into a region R n Highly correlated, the light emitting units 12 have a high correlation therebetween.
In this embodiment, the correlation coefficient is a normalized correlation coefficient f n The preset threshold is 0.3, i.e. the light emitting unit 122 refers to the sub-region R 0 If there is a normalized correlation coefficient f calculated in the traversal process n Not less than 0.3, or the light-emitting unit 12 refers to the sub-region R 0 Normalized correlation coefficient f calculated in traversal n Peak f of (2) n_max 0.3, the light emitting units 122 may be considered to have a correlation as a whole.
In evaluating the correlation between the light emitting units 122, the ratio of the light emitting units 122 greater than or equal to a preset normalized correlation coefficient threshold to the total light emitting units 122 is considered in addition to the normalized correlation coefficient of the light emitting units 122 to more objectively evaluate the correlation between the light emitting units 122.
Thereby, a correlation intensity function for evaluating the correlation intensity between the light emitting units 122 is definedWherein a is a correlation with a correlation coefficient greater than or equal to a predetermined correlationThe ratio of the light-emitting units 22 with the number threshold to the total light-emitting units 122 is calculated as +.>P={R 0 ,R 1 ,…,R N (wherein R is) 0 For the light emitting unit 122 selected according to the preset condition, the sub-area R is referenced by the light emitting unit 22 0 Traversing the entire semiconductor substrate 120 light emitting area and calculating the light emitting unit 122 reference sub-area R 0 With the whole semiconductor substrate 120 except R 0 Correlation coefficients of other parts than the N and R are assumed to exist 0 Sub-regions of the light emitting unit 122 having a correlation coefficient greater than or equal to a preset correlation coefficient threshold, respectively denoted as R 1 ,…,R N Then the P represents the reference sub-region R of the light emitting unit 122 and the entire light emitting region of the semiconductor substrate 120 0 The set { R of all the light emitting units 122 having a correlation coefficient therebetween greater than or equal to a preset correlation coefficient threshold 0 ,R 1 ,…,R N -said set p= { R 0 ,R 1 ,…,R N The light emitting units 122 in the case have correlation therebetween. The S is a set of all light emitting units on the entire semiconductor substrate 120. The ratio may be, but is not limited to, a ratio of the number of the related light emitting units 122 to the total number of all the light emitting units 122, or a ratio of the area of the related light emitting units 122 to the total surface of the whole light emitting area, which may be selected according to practical situations.
The P and S may be the number of light emitting units 122 in the corresponding set of light emitting units 122. If the light emitting units 122 are uniformly distributed, the P and S may be areas corresponding to the areas where the light emitting units 122 are collected. It will be appreciated that the calculations of P and S herein are for R 0 ,R 1 ,…,R N The overlap that may occur in (a) is calculated only once and is not repeated.
The saidFor the set p= { R 0 ,R 1 ,…,R N All light-emitting unit 122 sub-regions R within } n (0<n.ltoreq.N) and the light-emitting unit 122 reference subarea R 0 Normalized correlation coefficient f between n Average value of (2), calculated asWherein f n Is R n (0<N is less than or equal to N) and R 0 Normalized correlation coefficient between.
In the present embodiment, since the preset correlation coefficient threshold is 0.3, i.e. when f n When not less than 0.3, the corresponding sub-region R of the light-emitting unit 122 is considered n (0<n.ltoreq.N) and the selected light-emitting cell 122 reference sub-region R 0 With a correlation between the sub-areas R of the light-emitting units 122 n (0<n.ltoreq.N) may be applied to the correlation strength function defined aboveTo evaluate the overall correlation of all light emitting cells 122 on the semiconductor substrate 120.
The a is the proportion of the related light-emitting units 122 to the total light-emitting units 122, so that a is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. The saidFor normalizing the correlation coefficient f n Average value of (2), so->Therefore, the correlation intensity function->The calculated correlation intensity value F also meets the value range of 0-1. As defined herein, if the correlation strength value F satisfies 0.ltoreq.F<0.1, all light emitting cells 122 on the semiconductor substrate 120 are not related as a whole. If the correlation strength value F satisfies 0.1.ltoreq.F<0.25, all the light emitting cells 122 on the semiconductor substrate 20 are weakly correlated as a whole. If the correlation strength isThe value F satisfies 0.25.ltoreq.F<0.5, all the light emitting cells 122 on the semiconductor substrate 120 have a correlation as a whole. If the correlation intensity value F satisfies 0.5.ltoreq.F.ltoreq.1, all the light emitting cells 122 on the semiconductor substrate 120 are strongly correlated as a whole.
It will be appreciated that for the same light emitting unit 122 arrangement pattern on the semiconductor substrate 120, the calculated correlation intensity value F may be associated with the light emitting unit 122 reference sub-region R selected during the calculation 0 Is not always consistent, so that the sub-region R is referenced according to all the light emitting units 122 satisfying a preset condition in judging the correlation intensity of all the light emitting units 122 on the semiconductor substrate 120 as a whole 0 The maximum value of the calculated correlation intensity values F is determined. That is, as long as there is a reference sub-region R of the light emitting unit 122 selected according to a preset condition 0 So that the sub-region R is referenced according to the light emitting unit 122 0 The calculated correlation intensity value F satisfies the above-defined correlation intensity corresponding range, so that the light emitting units 122 on the semiconductor substrate 120 can be regarded as having corresponding correlation intensities as a whole.
In the present embodiment, all the light emitting units 122 on the semiconductor substrate 120 have correlation as a whole. The maximum value F of the correlation intensity values F of the whole light emitting units 122 max Greater than or equal to 0.25 and less than 1. I.e. there is a reference sub-region R of the lighting unit 122 selected according to preset conditions 0 The calculated correlation strength value F is greater than or equal to 0.25 and less than 1.
It is understood that in other embodiments, all of the light emitting cells 122 on the semiconductor substrate 120 have strong correlation as a whole. The maximum value F of the correlation intensity values F of the whole light emitting units 122 max Greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than 1. I.e. there is a reference sub-region R of the lighting unit 122 selected according to preset conditions 0 The calculated correlation strength value F is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than 1.
