Detailed Description

In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system structures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.

Functional lenses commonly found on the market today include, but are not limited to, polarizing or filtering lenses, and the like. The polarized lens is mainly used for eliminating dazzling reflected light and scattered light, and messy light is changed into parallel light, so that objects to be seen are clearer and softer. Filter lenses are optical devices used to select a desired wavelength band of radiation. Different functional lenses are used in different scenes.

The lens adjusting method is suitable for various application scenes, such as a monitoring fishpond and the like. In order to better explain the technical scheme of the application, the application only takes monitoring of the fish pond as an example to explain the technical scheme of the application.

In a fish pond monitoring scene, due to the fact that a large number of light reflection factors exist on the water surface, images collected by the camera equipment are overexposed, and the image effect is poor.

In view of the above, embodiments of the present application provide a lens adjustment method and apparatus, an image capturing device, and a computer-readable storage medium, which can solve the above technical problems.

The execution main body of the lens adjusting method is the image pickup equipment, and the image pickup equipment can be equipment with an image pickup function, such as a camera or a video camera.

In order to better explain the technical solution of the present application, a mechanical configuration of the image pickup apparatus is briefly described here. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a mechanical configuration of an image pickup apparatus provided by the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the image pickup apparatus includes a lens 11, a functional lens 12, an outer edge gear 121, a transmission gear 131, and a motor 13. The motor 13 is used to rotate the transmission gear 131, so that the transmission gear 131 rotates the outer edge gear 121, thereby rotating the functional lens 12. The functional lens 12 rotates around the axis of the lens, and the rotation direction of the functional lens is two sides or the extension direction of the central axis of the lens 11 (since different types of lenses are suitable for different rotation modes, the present embodiment provides two rotation modes). If the rotation direction of the functional lens is on both sides of the central axis of the lens 11, please refer to fig. 2, and fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the rotation of the functional lens provided in the present application. As shown in the front view of the functional lens in fig. 2, the arrow indicates that the current direction of the functional lens, i.e. the plane in which the functional lens is located, is unchanged and rotates on the plane in which the functional lens is located. If the rotation direction of the functional lens is the extending direction of the central axis of the lens 11, for better understanding of the rotation direction, please refer to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the rotation of the functional lens provided by the present application, and if the functional lens rotates along the extending direction of the central axis as shown in fig. 3, the plane of the functional lens changes. It should be emphasized that fig. 1 and 3 are only schematic in terms of the mechanical configuration and the positions and the number of the components of the image capturing apparatus, and the mechanical configuration and the positions and the number of the components of the image capturing apparatus are not limited in any way.

The functional lens in the present application includes, but is not limited to, a polarizing lens, a filter lens, or the like. In order to better explain the technical solution of the present application, the present application takes a functional lens as a polarizing lens for example, and explains the technical solution. Wherein, when the functional lens is a polarized lens, the rotation direction is shown in fig. 2.

Under the hardware environment, the application provides a lens adjusting method. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an adjusting method of a lens provided in the present application.

As shown in fig. 4, the method may include the steps of:

step 401, collecting a plurality of polarization images in the same scene; the polarized image is an image acquired by the functional lens when the functional lens is positioned at different first angles.

The camera device collects the polarization image by controlling the angle of the functional lens to penetrate the functional lens at different first angles. The manner in which the image capture apparatus controls the functional lens may be:

directly controlling the functional lens to rotate to a preset angle according to the preset angle.

And secondly, in the process that the camera equipment controls the functional lens to rotate in the first angle range, acquiring a polarization image according to preset precision. For example: the functional lens collects one polarization image every 5 degrees of rotation, and if the first angle range is 0 to 180 degrees, 36 polarization images are collected. In the actual acquisition process, corresponding images can be acquired at uniform time points according to the rotation angular velocity, and then deflection images corresponding to all angles can be obtained.

It is emphasized that the different first angles are in the first angle range (in order to distinguish the large-amplitude rotation range from the small-amplitude rotation range, the large-amplitude rotation range is referred to as the first angle range, and the small-amplitude rotation range is referred to as the second angle range). The first angle range includes, but is not limited to, 0 to 90 degrees, 0 to 180 degrees, 0 to 360 degrees, and the like. Preferably, the first angle range is 0 to 180 degrees, since 0 to 180 degrees can cover all angles of light.

Step 402, calculating a first quality score of the polarization image according to the first image information of the polarization image.

Because the filtering effect on light is different when the functional lens is at different angles. Therefore, the image effects of the polarization images acquired at different angles are different. The image capture apparatus can evaluate the first quality score of each polarization image based on the first image information. The first quality score is used to characterize the imaging quality of each polarization image.

The first image information includes, but is not limited to, a combination of one or more of gain information, contrast information, color temperature information, and saturation information.

When the first image information is single information, the first quality score corresponding to the polarization image can be directly matched according to the numerical value corresponding to the single information. When the first image information is a plurality of information, a first quality score can be obtained through the scoring model (i.e., the gain information, the contrast information, and the saturation information are used as the input of the scoring model, and the first quality score output by the scoring model is obtained). When the first image information is a plurality of information, the first quality score can also be calculated by a preset formula, and the process is as follows:

as an alternative embodiment of the present application, step 402 comprises the following steps. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a specific schematic flowchart illustrating step 402 of a lens adjusting method provided in the present application.

In order to better explain the technical solution of the present application, the present application explains the technical solution of the present application by taking the first image information as the first gain information, the first contrast information, and the first saturation information as examples.

Step 4021, acquiring first gain information, first contrast information, and first saturation information.

The first gain information, the first contrast information, and the first saturation information can be directly read by the built-in software, but the built-in reading software is not possible due to the limited computing power or operating capability of part of the image pickup apparatus. In order to solve the problem, the method for calculating the first gain information, the first contrast information and the first saturation information by a built-in algorithm comprises the following steps:

as an alternative embodiment of the present application, step 4021 includes the following steps. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 shows a specific schematic flowchart of step 4021 in an adjustment method of a lens provided by the present application.

Step a1, reading the first gain information in a digital signal processor.

The gain information is a standard image signal that the image pickup apparatus can output in order to be able to output under different illuminance conditions of the subject, and the exposure amount of the image is increased by the gain of the amplifier. The first gain information can be read directly in the digital signal processor DSP.

Step A2, obtaining the first contrast information according to the brightness of a plurality of pixel points in the polarization image.

The camera device collects the brightness of two or more than two pixel points, and calculates first contrast information according to the brightness of the pixel points.

As an optional embodiment of the application, because scenes acquired by the plurality of polarization images are basically consistent, when the first contrast information corresponding to each polarization image is acquired, the point-taking positions of the pixel points can be kept consistent, so that the transverse contrast among the plurality of polarization images is ensured, and the scoring accuracy is further improved.

Step A3, inputting the color component of the polarization image into a scoring model, and obtaining first saturation information corresponding to the polarization image output by the scoring model.

The color components of different color models are different, for example, the color components of the RGB mode are R channel, G channel and B channel. The color modes used in the present application include, but are not limited to, RGB mode, HSB mode, YUV mode, CMYK mode, Lab mode, and the like.

Illustratively, taking an RGB mode as an example, an R channel, a G channel, and a B channel are input into a scoring model, and first saturation information corresponding to the polarization image output by the scoring model is obtained.

Wherein, the scoring model is a pre-trained model, and the training process is as follows: a plurality of sample images are obtained from the existing database, and the saturation of each sample image is estimated to obtain the target saturation. And inputting each sample image into the initial model to obtain an evaluation result output by the initial model. And calculating an error according to the evaluation result and the target saturation corresponding to the sample image. And adjusting the parameters of the initial model according to the error. And repeating the process to train the initial model through a plurality of sample images to obtain the trained scoring model.

Step 4022, substituting the first gain information, the first contrast information and the first saturation information into a preset formula to obtain the first quality score.

The present embodiment provides two preset formulas:

the first method comprises the following steps: the first gain information, the first contrast information, and the first saturation information may be added to obtain a first quality score. Since different image information has different influences on the image effect, the first quality score can be calculated by the following preset formula in order to better evaluate the image effect.

And the second method comprises the following steps: calculating the score by a preset formula as follows:

Score＝a·G+b·Cr+c·Sa

wherein Score represents the first quality Score, a, b, and c represent fixed parameters, G represents the first gain information, Cr represents the first contrast information, and Sa represents the first saturation information.

It should be noted that the fixed parameters a, b, and c are set according to the influence of different image information on the image effect. The specific values of a, b and c can be determined by statistical methods or experimental data. The influence of different image information on the scoring result is adjusted through a, b and c, so that the calculation accuracy is improved.

Step 303, using the first angle corresponding to the polarization image with the largest first quality score as the target angle.

After the first quality score corresponding to each polarization image is calculated, a plurality of first quality scores are obtained. And finding the maximum value in all the first quality scores, and taking the first angle corresponding to the polarization image with the maximum first quality score as a target angle. If the number of the first quality score maximum values is multiple, the first quality score maximum values can be selected randomly, or can be selected according to the sequence of rotation, or can be selected according to the amplitude of rotation.

Step 404, adjusting the functional lens to the target angle.

In the embodiment, a plurality of polarization images in the same scene are acquired; the polarized image is an image collected by the functional lens when the functional lens is positioned at different first angles; calculating a first quality score of the polarization image according to first image information of the polarization image; taking a first angle corresponding to the polarization image with the maximum first quality score as a target angle; adjusting the functional lens to the target angle. According to the scheme, the images collected by the functional lenses penetrating through different angles are scored, and then the angles of the functional lenses are controlled according to the scores. Compared with the traditional technical scheme, the angle of the functional lens can be adjusted according to the image effect, so that the state of the light which changes from time to time can be adapted, and the effect of inhibiting light pollution is further improved.

Optionally, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 4, after the functional lens is adjusted to the target angle, the following steps are further included, please refer to fig. 7, and fig. 7 shows a schematic flowchart of another lens adjustment method provided in this application. In this embodiment, steps 701 to 704 are the same as steps 401 to 404 in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, and please refer to the related description of steps 401 to 404 in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, which is not described herein again.

Step 701, collecting a plurality of polarization images in the same scene; the polarized image is an image acquired by the functional lens when the functional lens is positioned at different first angles.

Step 702, calculating a first quality score of the polarization image according to the first image information of the polarization image.

Step 703, taking the first angle corresponding to the polarization image with the largest first quality score as a target angle.

Step 704, adjusting the functional lens to the target angle.

Step 705, repeating the step of acquiring multiple polarization images in the same scene and the subsequent steps at preset time points or at preset time intervals.

Since the light angle in nature changes in real time, the embodiment repeats steps 701 to 704 at a predetermined time point or at predetermined time intervals. To adjust the angle of the functional lens in real time.

It should be noted that, in the process of repeatedly performing steps 701 to 704, the value of the first angle is not constant, and may be adjusted according to the angle change rule of the light every day to reduce the amount of unnecessary calculation.

In this embodiment, the step of acquiring a plurality of polarization images of the same scene and the subsequent steps are repeatedly performed at a preset time point. The angle of the functional lens is adjusted in real time in the mode so as to adapt to real-time change of the light angle.

Optionally, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 4, after the functional lens is adjusted to the target angle, the following steps are further included, please refer to fig. 8, and fig. 8 shows a schematic flowchart of another lens adjustment method provided in this application. In this embodiment, steps 801 to 804 are the same as steps 401 to 404 in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, and please refer to the related description of steps 401 to 404 in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, which is not described herein again.

This embodiment is a parallel solution to the embodiment shown in fig. 7, i.e. the present application is an alternative to the embodiment shown in fig. 7. This embodiment may also be a scheme executed after the embodiment shown in fig. 7, so as to perform fine adjustment on the lens after the embodiment shown in fig. 7 (since each first angle interval is larger in consideration of the calculation cost in the embodiment shown in fig. 7, the optimal angle may not be found, and therefore, this embodiment may be executed after the embodiment shown in fig. 7).

In this embodiment, it is considered that the light changes regularly in nature (such as under sunset). Therefore, the light changes only around the original angle in a short time. Therefore, the current optimal angle can be found only by fine adjustment around the target angle.

In the embodiment, the preset angle is finely adjusted left and right at two sides of the current angle, a plurality of subsequent images in the fine adjustment process are collected, and the second angle corresponding to the subsequent image to which the maximum value of the second quality score belongs is selected as the subsequent angle according to the second quality score of the subsequent images.

Wherein the current angle refers to the angle at which the functional lens is located when step 805 is performed. Since the functional lens may be rotated by manual intervention or other interference factors after step 804 is performed, resulting in a shift in the lens position, in order to better distinguish the two angles, the angle in step 804 is referred to as the target angle, and the angle in step 805 is referred to as the current angle. I.e., the current angle may or may not be the target angle.

The preset angle refers to a specific numerical value preset according to the change rule of light rays and used for fine adjustment of the functional lens. The preset angle may be determined according to different application scenarios, and is not limited herein.

Illustratively, assuming the current angle is 60 ° (degrees) and the preset angle is 5 ° (degrees), the functional lens is rotated between 65 ° (degrees) and 55 ° (degrees) for the purpose of fine left-right adjustment.

806, collecting a plurality of subsequent images in the process that the functional lens rotates towards the two sides of the current angle by a preset angle; the subsequent image is an image acquired through the functional lens when the functional lens is at a second different angle.

In order to achieve the purpose of fine tuning, the acquisition frequency of the subsequent images in this embodiment can be set to a larger value. The acquisition frequency may also be set to the same value as in the embodiments of fig. 4 and 7, which is not limited herein.

After acquiring the subsequent images, the calculation process is similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 4, and is not described herein again.

In step 807, a second quality score corresponding to the subsequent image is calculated according to the second image information of the subsequent image.

And 808, taking a second angle corresponding to the subsequent image to which the second quality score maximum value belongs as a subsequent angle.

Step 809, adjusting the functional lens to the subsequent angle.

According to the scheme, the optimal angle is searched in a fine adjustment mode, and large-range calculation is not needed, so that unnecessary calculation amount is reduced, and calculation efficiency is improved.

Step 901, step 902, step 903, step 904, step 907, step 908, step 909, and step 910 in this embodiment are the same as steps 801 to 808 in the embodiment shown in fig. 8, and specific reference is made to the description related to steps 801 to 808 in the embodiment shown in fig. 8, which is not repeated herein.

Step 902, calculating a first quality score of the polarization image according to the first image information of the polarization image.

Step 903, taking the first angle corresponding to the polarization image with the largest first quality score as a target angle.

Step 904, adjusting the functional lens to the target angle.

Step 905, obtain second gain information, second contrast information, and second saturation information.

Since natural light changes are a slow process, no real-time adjustment is required. The embodiment is added with trigger logic on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 8. The specific process is as follows:

the image pickup apparatus acquires current second gain information, second contrast information, and second saturation information.

Step 906, substituting the second gain information, the second contrast information, and the second saturation information into a preset formula to obtain a third quality score.

Step 907, if the difference between the third quality score and the first quality score is greater than a threshold, acquiring a plurality of subsequent images in the same scene.

If the difference between the third quality score and the first quality score is not greater than the threshold, then subsequent steps need not be performed.

Step 908, calculating a second quality score corresponding to the subsequent image according to the second image information of the subsequent image.

In step 909, the second angle corresponding to the subsequent image to which the maximum second quality score belongs is used as the subsequent angle.
