Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the dynamic image processing system provided by the present invention includes an image sensor and an FPGA connected to each other, the image sensor includes a register module and an image generation module, the image generation module is used for generating an image, and the register module stores M register modes. The image sensor may specifically adopt an ISA8201 chip.
The FPGA comprises a clock module, a configuration module and a receiving processing module, wherein the receiving processing module is used for receiving and processing the image sent by the image generating module, the register module and the clock module are both connected with the configuration module, M clock modes are stored in the clock module, and M configuration modes are stored in the configuration module; the M register modes, the M clock modes and the M configuration modes are in one-to-one correspondence; wherein M is an integer of 2 or more. For example, if the clock module is configured with four clock modes, i.e., 10M, 20M, 30M and 40M, the configuration module and the register module each include four configuration modes and four register modes corresponding to the four clock modes, where the 10M clock mode represents a transmission rate of 10 mega per second.
As shown in fig. 1, the specific connection relationship is as follows: the configuration module in the FPGA is connected with a register module in the image sensor and a clock module in the FPGA, the register module and the clock module are both connected with an image generation module in the image sensor, and the image generation module is connected with a receiving and processing module in the FPGA; preferably, the configuration module is connected with the register module through an SPI interface; preferably, the image generating module and the receiving processing module are connected through a transmission interface, and the transmission interface includes a data transmission interface, a row selection interface and a column selection interface. The system further comprises a processing end, wherein the processing end is connected with the configuration module in the FPGA and used for triggering the configuration mode of the configuration module, so that the change of the transmission frame rate of the image sensor and the processing rate of the FPGA is caused, and the specific processing end can be a PC and the like.
When the system starts to process images, the configuration module in the FPGA selects one of M configuration modes, and transmits the selected configuration mode to the register module and the clock module in sequence, so that the register module and the clock module select the corresponding register mode and clock mode in sequence; the register module transmits the selected register mode to the image generation module, and then the clock module transmits the selected clock mode to the image generation module, so that the image generation module performs image transmission according to the selected clock mode.
When the transmission rate of the image sensor to the FPGA needs to be changed, the configuration module in the FPGA is switched to another configuration mode in the M configuration mode, and the switched configuration modes are sequentially transmitted to the register module and the clock module, so that the register module and the clock module are sequentially switched to the corresponding register mode and the clock mode; the register module and the clock module are connected to the image generation module and transmit the switched register mode and clock mode to the image generation module, so that the image generation module performs image transmission according to the switched clock mode.
It is worth to be noted that, after the configuration module in the FPGA switches the configuration mode, because the configuration module is connected with the clock module and the register module, but the time of the configuration module acting on the clock module and the register module has a sequence, the invention ensures that the selected or switched configuration module acts on the register module first, namely that the configuration module configures the image sensor first and then configures the FPGA; this is because: firstly adjusting the transmission rate of the image sensor and then adjusting the processing rate of the FPGA can ensure that the adjustment process is carried out stably, and if the processing rate of the FPGA is firstly adjusted and then the transmission rate of the image sensor is adjusted, system disorder can be caused. Specifically, the sequential action of the configuration module on the register module and the clock module can be completed in the following manner: the configuration module selects one configuration mode from M configuration modes, firstly transmits the configuration mode to the register module, so that the register module selects the corresponding register mode, and then transmits the configuration mode to the clock module, so that the clock module selects the corresponding clock mode.

Wherein, the processing end can be a PC end.
S02: the register module and the clock module are both connected to the image generation module, and transmit the register mode (first register mode) and the clock mode (first clock mode) after selection to the image generation module, so that the image generation module performs image transmission according to the selected clock mode (first clock mode). Specifically, the image generation module sends the image to the receiving processing module through a transmission interface, wherein the transmission interface includes a data transmission interface, a row selection interface and a column selection interface.
S03: when the transmission rate of the image sensor to the FPGA needs to be changed, the processing end triggers the configuration module in the FPGA to switch another configuration mode (a second configuration mode) in the M configuration modes, and the switched configuration modes are sequentially transmitted to the register module and the clock module, so that the register module and the clock module sequentially switch the corresponding register mode (the second register mode) and the clock mode (the second clock mode); specifically, the configuration module sends an SPI signal to the register module to control the register module to switch the corresponding register mode.
S04: the register module and the clock module are both connected to the image generation module, and transmit the register mode (second register mode) and the clock mode (second clock mode) after switching to the image generation module, so that the image generation module performs image transmission according to the clock mode (second clock mode) after switching. Specifically, the image generation module sends the image to the receiving processing module through a transmission interface, wherein the transmission interface includes a data transmission interface, a row selection interface and a column selection interface.
The first clock mode, the first register mode and the first configuration mode are corresponding modes, and the second clock mode, the second register mode and the second configuration mode are corresponding modes and only named, and those skilled in the art can name the corresponding modes at any time.
