And the four-dimensional light field data is subjected to later digital focusing, so that the depth of a scene in a larger range can be effectively captured, and a real three-dimensional scene is displayed.

In this case, a plurality of targets may exist in the monitoring scene, or the target size is considered to be large, and the corresponding target distance is measured by dividing different partitions.
Further, as shown in connection with fig. 4, the reference sample includes a scale. The scale is selected as a reference sample so as to directly obtain the distance measurement distance of the target.
Still further, as shown in fig. 4, the graduated scale is obliquely placed on the slide rail; the inclined plane of the graduated scale corresponds to the lens of the micro-lens array camera.

Still further, with reference to fig. 5 to 7, the method for partitioning different partitions of the sample refocused image includes:
the tilt directions corresponding to the sample refocused image are equally divided into a plurality of partitions.
The refocused image of the graduated scale is equally divided from top to bottom, and can be equally divided into N subareas, wherein the size of N is selected according to needs. For example, the image of 200 × 200 may be divided into ten partitions of 20 × 200, and then the sharpness is calculated for each of the partitions, and the result of the sharpness determination is compared with a larger value, which is the partition where the current focus position is located.
Still further, with reference to fig. 3, the method for obtaining the digital imaging focal plane includes:
according to the formula of the digital focusing algorithm, calculating to obtain a digital imaging focal plane image corresponding to the clearest partition in the sample refocusing image corresponding to the digital refocusing parameter alphaEαF(x,y):
Figure GDA0003084572610000091
In the formula LαF(u, v, x, y) is the spectral energy carried by the point (x, y) on the x-y plane through which the light ray on the F image plane passes from the point (u, v) on the u-v plane at the image distance l ═ F; the u-v plane represents the plane of the micro lens array, and the x-y plane represents the plane of the detector; l isFRepresenting the spectral energy carried by a projection of a point (u, v) on the u-v plane onto a point (x, y) on the x-y plane after entering the microlens array camera.
Bottom-up to digital imaging focal plane image EαFThe process of obtaining (x, y) is specifically described:
and (3) light field information characterization:
without taking into account the reasonable assumptions of wavelength change and energy transmission attenuation, the light field can be characterized by two mutually parallel planes (u, v) and (s, t), as shown in fig. 1, where plane (u, v) represents the plane of the microlens array in the microlens array camera and plane (x, y) represents the plane of the detector in the microlens array camera. The light field information refers to the sum of the ray radiance function for each point and each direction in space. The light field information can be characterized by the connection of two points (x, y) and (u, v) in two parallel planes, as shown in fig. 1. 2 coordinate planes are defined in fig. 1: a u-v plane and an x-y plane. With LF(u, v, x, y) represents the spectral energy carried by a ray of light that enters the optical system and is projected through a point (u, v) on the u-v plane to a point (x, y) on the x-y plane, where the point (x, y) receives LFThe incident light flux of (u, v, x, y) is expressed as:
Figure GDA0003084572610000101
in the formula EF(x, y) is the incident flux of light at coordinates (x, y) on the image plane at the image distance F; f is the image distance; a (u, v) is the area of a detector pixel; theta is a light ray LF(u, v, x, y) is at an angle to the direction of the main optical axis of the system.
Assuming that the microlens array plane and the detector plane are infinite and only light propagating within the u-v plane and x-y plane of the optical system is considered, for ease of analysis, the variation of the cosine of the light and the scale factor 1/F are ignored2. The above formula is simplified to that,
EF(x,y)=∫∫LF(u,v,x,y)dudv,
therefore, a relatively perfect light field information parameter characterization mode is obtained.
Digital imaging of microlens array:
after the micro-lens array camera takes a picture, light rays in each direction in the four-dimensional light field penetrate through the micro-lens array and then strike different pixels, and as shown in fig. 2, the position, the direction and the intensity information of the light rays are stored in the same original light field image.
The pixel points in the acquired two-dimensional original light field image are subjected to light ray tracing according to a certain rule to correspond to a four-dimensional light field, and the four-dimensional light field is re-projected to a focusing plane with a certain depth for integral superposition to obtain images on different focusing planes, so that the purpose of obtaining images of the focusing planes with multiple depths by single photographing is achieved, and the process of digital focusing imaging is achieved.
Suppose that the imaging system obtains an image E at an image distance l ═ FF(x, y) is unclear, and an image on the image plane at an image distance l ═ α F is a clear image EαF(x, y), α is a coefficient for adjusting the size of the image distance l'. As shown in FIG. 3, the ray passing through the point (x, y) on the F image surface is denoted as LαF(u, v, x, y), the projection coordinate will become L when the light reaches the α F image planeαF. Light LFAnd LαFIs the same light between the lens and the sensor. Suppose a ray LαFThe coordinates of the intersection point of the refocusing plane (x, y), then the coordinates of the intersection point of this ray at the detector plane are (u + (x-u)/α, v + (y-v)/α), LFAnd LαFThe following transformation of coordinates between:
Figure GDA0003084572610000111
substituting conversion formula into simplified formula EF(x,y)=∫∫LFIn (u, v, x, y) dudv, an imaging formula of a refocused image plane is obtained:
Figure GDA0003084572610000112
the digital refocusing parameter α is changed, images on image planes of different focusing planes can be obtained through calculation, but α is only a relative value and cannot represent a real distance in a scene, so that the relationship between α and the real distance needs to be calibrated.
And judging the focusing position according to the definition:
according to the geometrical optics principle, the optical system images an object at a certain distance position, and when the imaging position and the object position meet the conjugate relation, the imaging is clearest at the position, which is also called an ideal image surface. That is to say, the position of the object when the camera forms the clearest image of the object is the actual position of the object, thereby realizing the measurement and calibration of the distance. By utilizing the characteristic, after the image sequence of digital focusing is obtained, the image is distinguished through the definition function, and the clearest position on the image is the focusing position corresponding to the digital refocusing parameter alpha.
Referring to fig. 4, a graduated scale 3 is placed above the slide rail 1 at an included angle, and the reading D on the graduated scale corresponds to the refocusing depth D, i.e. the actual distance D for ranging. Continuously changing the digital refocusing parameter α, performing digital focusing on the sample four-dimensional light field image for multiple times to obtain a series of refocusing images containing depth information and having distinct definitions, as shown in fig. 5 to 7. It can be seen that the upper portion of the refocus image is clear when the focus parameter α is 5.97, the middle portion of the refocus image is clear when the refocus parameter α is 6.73, and the lower portion of the refocus image is clear when the refocus parameter α is 7.81. And equally dividing the refocused image of each scale by N along the scale direction of the refocused image to obtain N subareas, and then calculating the definition of each subarea.
A clear image has clear edge outline and high contrast with the background, namely, the clear position has a larger gradient function value when the gradient evaluation is carried out. Therefore, the method selects a Laplacian definition evaluation function based on the gray gradient to calculate the definition.
Still further, with reference to fig. 8 and 9, a method for performing sharpness calculation on all the partitions in each refocused sample image by using a sharpness evaluation function includes:
the sharpness evaluation result f (i) for each partition was calculated using the following formula:
Figure GDA0003084572610000121
wherein C is a gradient matrix.
The Laplacian gradient function computes the second order gradient value of the image using the Laplacian operator convolved with the image matrix:
still further, the gradient matrix C is:
C=I*L,
in the formula, I is the gray value corresponding to the pixels of different partitions in the sample refocusing image, and the digital imaging focal plane image E corresponding to different partitionsαF(x, y); the L is a Laplacian operator;
when the sample refocused image of the scale is divided equally into 60 sections along the scale direction:
Figure GDA0003084572610000122
after the definition curve diagram is calculated by utilizing the Laplacian definition evaluation function, the part with the maximum definition value is a focusing surface with numerical focusing, and the scale D corresponding to the focusing surface is converted into a horizontal distance D, so that the calibration of the digital focusing distance position can be completed. And (3) carrying out distance position calibration operation on the digital focusing images with different values alpha to obtain a fitting relation curve of the parameter alpha and the actual distance position. So far, the distance position of a certain object in the target scene can be obtained only according to the definition value of the target image and the digital refocusing parameter alpha.
As shown in fig. 8, the sharpness of the image reaches the maximum value when N is 20, and the horizontal distance corresponds to 2.4 cm.
In practical use, the method can realize the ranging process through matlab programming.
The specific embodiment is as follows:
1) the inclined graduated scale with clear scales is photographed by using the micro-lens array camera, the inclination angle can be selected according to the situation, and a four-dimensional light field image of the graduated scale is acquired as shown in fig. 4.
2) Calculating a scale refocusing image under a certain digital refocusing parameter alpha by using a digital focusing algorithm, wherein the formula of the digital focusing algorithm is as follows:
Figure GDA0003084572610000131
different parameters alpha are selected, refocused images on image surfaces of different focusing planes are obtained through calculation, alpha is only a relative value and cannot represent a real distance position in a scene, and the calibration of the relationship between the parameters alpha and the real distance position can be realized through the following steps.
3) And dividing the refocused image of the scale into N equal parts along the scale direction, wherein N is 60, and calculating the definition of each part by using a definition evaluation function to obtain a definition curve.
Figure GDA0003084572610000141
C=I*L,
Figure GDA0003084572610000142
4) The position with the maximum numerical value on the definition curve diagram is the depth position of numerical value focusing, and the corresponding scale D is converted into the horizontal distance D, so that the calibration of the digital focusing distance position can be completed.
5) And (3) changing the digital refocusing parameter alpha step by step to enable the four-dimensional light field data to be digitally imaged on the focusing surface at different depths, repeating the third step and the fourth step to obtain a plurality of groups of data of the parameter alpha and the distance D, and further determining a corresponding relation fitting curve of the parameter alpha and the actual distance position D. And combining the fitting curve, and acquiring the distance position of a certain target in the scene only according to the image definition value and the digital refocusing parameter alpha after acquiring the target four-dimensional light field image.
In conclusion, the method can obtain image sequences of different depths only by single exposure and calculation of an imaging algorithm, thereby determining the distance measurement distance and being suitable for the real-time distance measurement requirement of a dynamically-changed target.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only intended to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some technical features may be equivalently replaced; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
