Below with the quantity of depth camera for 2, for the classification of depth camera is TOF camera, to method shown in Fig. 1 Realize that step is illustrated.
Specifically, including the first TOF depth camera and the 2nd TOF depth camera in depth camera group, controlled in abovementioned steps The fluorescent lifetime section of light source processed simultaneously generates synchronization signal according to the fluorescent lifetime section, and the synchronization signal is sent to depth phase Each depth camera in unit includes: to generate the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal according to the fluorescent lifetime section, by institute It states the first synchronization signal and is sent to the first TOF depth camera, second synchronization signal is sent to the 2nd TOF depth camera, The depth camera is exposed according to the synchronization signal, and sampling depth image includes: described first in exposure period TOF depth camera is exposed according to first synchronization signal, the first depth map is collected in the first exposure period Picture, the 2nd TOF depth camera are exposed according to second synchronization signal, acquire in the second exposure period To the second depth image.
It should be noted that the quantity of the depth camera of the present embodiment is not limited to 2, it is also possible to 3,4 or more More, the classification of depth camera is not limited to TOF camera, is also possible to structure light depth camera etc..The frame per second of two depth cameras can It can also be different with identical, it is without limitation.When depth camera TOF depth camera identical for two frame per second, due to TOF Camera itself has the function of output depth image, and according to the solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, each depth camera does not export directly Depth image but the depth image of acquisition is exported to processor by exporting again after being handled, being merged, on outside For the machine of position, the frame per second that the frame per second of the depth image of the present embodiment output is exported than single depth camera is doubled, To significantly reduce the delay of image.
It has been observed that frame per second is to directly affect an important indicator of depth image delay, the maximum value of delay is 1/f, this In f represent frame per second, for example, the delay of depth image may be 33ms, currently, many depth when frame per second f is equal to 30fps The frame per second of camera is substantially 30fps, can be increased to the output frame rate of depth image using after the technical solution of the application 60fps。
In order to make it easy to understand, being briefly described here to the course of work of depth camera and working stage.TOF depth phase Machine generally comprises imaging sensor and picture processing chip, and imaging sensor obtains depth data for acquiring object reflected light, Picture processing chip is used to carry out depth data processing and is converted to digital signal and controls digital data transmission to outside Receiving end.
Based on this, when the first TOF depth camera of the present embodiment is by the exposure of the imaging sensor of the first TOF depth camera Between section be arranged to the fluorescent lifetime segment sync indicated with the first synchronization signal, received by imaging sensor and reflected by acquisition object The digital signal that is converted into of light energy, the first depth image is obtained according to digital signal, and will in the first transmission period First depth image is transmitted to processor;When 2nd TOF depth camera is by the exposure of the imaging sensor of the 2nd TOF depth camera Between section be set as with the second synchronization signal indicate fluorescent lifetime segment sync after, by imaging sensor (be here the 2nd TOF depth Spend the imaging sensor of camera) digital signal being converted by the light energy that acquisition object reflects is received, it is obtained according to digital signal The second depth image is obtained, and the second depth image is transmitted to processor in the second transmission period.
That is, the TOF depth camera of the present embodiment receives the synchronization signal of microcontroller, and control imaging sensor Exposure period and synchronization signal instruction light source fluorescent lifetime segment sync, acquisition obtain depth image, obtain depth After image, depth image is exported and is handled to processor with further by TOF depth camera, being further processed for example here It is first depth map for receiving the first TOF depth camera by processor and being transmitted in first transmission period Picture receives second depth image that the 2nd TOF depth camera transmits in second transmission period, according to micro- The first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal that controller is sent close first depth image and second depth image And the depth image as continuous two frames depth image, after being merged, wherein when the first transmission period and the second exposure Between section it is equal, the first exposure period is equal with the second transmission period.After processor supplies the depth image output after merging It is continuous to use.
As a result, according to the synchronization signal of microcontroller, processor determines the initial position of each frame in depth image, will be former Carry out single depth camera directly export after depth image is revised as the depth image merging based on two depth camera interleaved acquisitions Depth image is exported, the frame per second of depth image is significantly improved, meets application demand.
A technical concept is belonged to aforementioned raising depth image frame per second method, the embodiment of the invention also provides one kind The system for improving depth image frame per second, Fig. 2 are the block diagram of the system of the raising depth image frame per second of one embodiment of the invention, ginseng See Fig. 2, the system of the raising depth image frame per second of the present embodiment includes:
Microcontroller (MCU illustrated in Fig. 2), the depth camera group being connect with the microcontroller, depth camera group packet Include at least two depth cameras (the first TOF depth camera, the 2nd TOF depth camera illustrated in Fig. 2), with depth camera group with And the processor (FPGA illustrated in Fig. 2) that microcontroller is all connected with;The microcontroller, for controlling the fluorescent lifetime of light source Section, and synchronization signal is generated according to the fluorescent lifetime section, the synchronization signal is sent to the depth camera;Depth camera, For being exposed according to the synchronization signal, the sampling depth image in exposure period, and by the depth map of acquisition As being transmitted to the processor;Processor, for according to the synchronization signal from the microcontroller to described in transmission Depth image merges, the depth image after being merged.
Referring to fig. 2, depth camera includes the first TOF depth camera and the 2nd TOF depth camera, depth phase in the present embodiment Machine be it is existing, two depth cameras are all each provided with complete depth image output function.Depth camera is generally passed by image Sensor, imaging sensor special lens and picture processing chip composition.Referring to fig. 2, the microcontroller of the present embodiment is used for The signal source of synchronization signal is provided to the first TOF depth camera and the 2nd TOF depth camera, so that depth camera is according to controllable Working frequency and the time carry out work.FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array, i.e. field-programmable in Fig. 2 Gate array) synchronization signal that microcontroller is sent is received, while receiving the first TOF depth camera and the 2nd TOF depth camera Then the depth image signal of transmission merges the depth image that two depth cameras acquire, final output one merging The depth image of high frame per second later is to host computer.Here FPGA is as one of field specific integrated circuit (ASIC) Semi-custom circuit and occur, not only solved the deficiency of custom circuit, but also to overcome original programming device gate circuit number limited The shortcomings that.
The microcontroller illustrated in Fig. 2 include timer and GPIO (General Purpose Input Output, Universal input/output) interface, it is connect by GPIO interface with the TOF light source for emitting laser in Fig. 2, TOF light here The main function in source is that light source necessary to work is provided for depth camera, that is, provides benefit to the imaging sensor of depth camera Light effect shoots external object, and the light source luminescent why controlled independently of depth camera is because TOF is that one kind is based on It actively shines and carrys out the technology of ranging.The implementation of TOF light source is, for example, to be based on vertical cavity surface emitting laser VCSEL The laser of (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) or Light-emitting diode LED.
The first TOF depth camera of the present embodiment and the structure of the 2nd TOF depth camera are identical, include imaging sensor With picture processing chip.It should be noted that the first TOF depth camera of the present embodiment and the 2nd TOF depth camera can be adopted With existing depth camera, the difference is that the triggering mode of depth camera, that is, the exposure triggering mode of camera is different.It is existing There is each depth camera individually to control itself light source luminescent, and the time for exposure of camera is synchronous with the fluorescent lifetime of light source, this In embodiment, be by camera outside microcontroller control the fluorescent lifetime of TOF light source, and according to fluorescent lifetime Duan Sheng Synchronization signal is exported simultaneously at corresponding synchronization signal to the first TOF depth camera or the 2nd TOF depth camera, makes two depths Degree camera is worked alternatively according to synchronization signal, and then improves the frame per second of depth image.
It has been observed that including picture processing chip in depth camera, in conjunction with Fig. 3 it is found that the course of work of TOF depth camera point For two Main Stages, the first stage is: picture processing chip control imaging sensor time for exposure, allow it can and light source Fluorescent lifetime it is synchronous, imaging sensor collects the light energy that object reflects in environment, is then converted into digital signal, issues Picture processing chip.Second stage is: picture processing chip receives the light energy that imaging sensor transmits and calculates depth Degree evidence is then transferred to the external FPGA received in integrated circuit such as Fig. 3.
It should be understood that the working frequency of depth camera is determined by the time-consuming in above-mentioned two stage of picture processing chip It is fixed.As shown in figure 4, the time spent by the generation of each frame image of depth camera is all by the time for exposure T1 of imaging sensor And depth data transmission time T2 is codetermined.Here depth data transmission time refers to that depth image is defeated from depth camera Time span spent by the FPGA in external chip, such as the present embodiment is arrived out.The sum of T1 and T2 determine depth camera Frame per second, that is, frame per second f=1/ (T1+T2).For example, when for time of exposure, (time for exposure here not only includes depth camera Expose the time expended and including carrying out calculating the spent time to control exposure) it is 15ms (millisecond), for deep Degree is 18ms according to the time for being transferred to external equipment, then depth camera amounts to used time 33ms in a sampling period, thus It can obtain, the frame per second of depth camera is 1s/33ms=30 (unit, fps).
In order to improve frame per second, the present embodiment utilizes two depth cameras, and using independently of the microcontroller except camera MCU generates synchronization signal to control the work of two depth cameras.
Specifically, microcontroller generates the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal according to fluorescent lifetime section respectively, it will First synchronization signal is sent to the first TOF depth camera, and second synchronization signal is sent to the 2nd TOF depth phase Machine, the first TOF depth camera are exposed according to first synchronization signal, collect first in the first exposure period First depth image is transmitted to processor in the first transmission period by depth image;2nd TOF depth camera according to Second synchronization signal is exposed, and the second depth image is collected in the second exposure period, in the second transmission Between second depth image is transmitted to processor in section.Processor, such as the FPGA in Fig. 2, to the first depth image and Two depth images are merged according to synchronization signal, and the depth image after being merged is for exporting.
Here the first TOF depth camera, especially by by the exposure period of the imaging sensor of the first TOF depth camera After being arranged to the fluorescent lifetime segment sync indicated with first synchronization signal, the light of object reflection is received by imaging sensor Light energy is converted into digital signal by energy, obtains the first depth image according to digital signal, and in the first transmission period First depth image is transmitted to processor.
Likewise, the 2nd TOF depth camera was specifically used for the time for exposure of the imaging sensor of the 2nd TOF depth camera After section is arranged to the fluorescent lifetime segment sync indicated with second synchronization signal, it is anti-that object is received by described image sensor Light energy is converted into digital signal by the light energy penetrated, and obtains the second depth image according to digital signal, and in the second transmission Between second depth image is transmitted to processor in section.
In one embodiment, microcontroller is by timer generation synchronization signal and through GPIO (universal input/output Interface) control light source fluorescent lifetime section.That is, MCU both provide work for depth camera A and depth camera B must The synchronization signal of palpus, the synchronization signal are generated by the timer inside MCU, and since the work of depth camera is according to extraneous defeated The frequency of the synchronization signal entered carries out.
Referring to fig. 4, in this operating mode, the initial position of each frame of MCU controlling depth camera illustrates in Fig. 4 The generation process of two field pictures, the square-wave signal that Fig. 4 illustrates top are that MCU is generated and exported to the synchronization signal of depth camera, It illustrates that depth camera is started to work according to each synchronization signal below Fig. 4, that is, starts exposure, transmission data to complete one The acquisition and transmission of frame image.
Since the depth camera of this active light formula of the present embodiment must can just be worked using special light source, so working as Two depth cameras are easy to appear the case where light source interferes with each other when working together.
In this regard, the present embodiment avoids light source from interfering using microcontroller generation synchronization signal, it is specifically described below. It has been observed that the time spent by two working stages of depth camera is respectively T1 and T2, pass through control two here with MCU The working time of camera makes its alternation, to avoid interfering with each other between two cameras.As shown in figure 5, being adopted at one Sample moment, MCU control TOF light source luminescent simultaneously generate synchronization signal 1, synchronization signal 1 are sent to depth camera A, depth camera According to synchronization signal 1 start control image sensor exposure, acquisition exterior object reflection light energy obtain depth data to get To a frame, depth data is transferred to FPGA.In next sampling instant, MCU control TOF light source luminescent simultaneously generates synchronization signal 2, synchronization signal 2 is sent to depth camera B, depth camera starts to control image sensor exposure, acquisition according to synchronization signal 2 The light energy of exterior object reflection obtains depth data to get to a frame, and depth data is transferred to FPGA.
Based on this present embodiment, only one depth camera works in a fluorescent lifetime section of TOF light source, adjacent In two fluorescent lifetime sections, two depth cameras work respectively, avoid light source interference.
In the present embodiment, FPGA receives the first depth map that the first TOF depth camera transmits in the first transmission period Picture receives second depth image that the 2nd TOF depth camera transmits in the second transmission period, is sent out according to microcontroller First depth image and the second depth image are incorporated as continuous two frame by the first synchronization signal, the second synchronization signal sent Depth image, the depth image after being merged, wherein the first transmission period is equal with the second exposure period, and first exposes The light period is equal with the second transmission period.For example, after two depth cameras collect depth image, by the depth of acquisition Image is exported receives the synchronization signal of MCU to FPGA, FPGA simultaneously.FPGA is transmitted across two depth cameras according to synchronization signal The depth image come merges.
As shown in fig. 6, the depth image after synchronizing by MCU signal crosss into FPGA in time (i.e. when a frame depth data of depth camera A is transferred to FPGA in Fig. 6, depth camera B is in the time for exposure of imaging sensor Section, when a frame depth data of depth camera B is transferred to FPGA, depth camera A is in the exposure period of imaging sensor), So FPGA can merge the picture signal of intersection (that is, the depth that depth camera A is transmitted in depth data transmission time The depth image for the depth image that image and depth camera B are transmitted in depth data transmission time merges), to export One frame per second is single twice of depth camera frame per second of depth image signal to host computer.
