Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless specifically limited otherwise.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic implementation flow diagram of an embodiment of the automatic exposure method of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an automatic exposure method, including: an operation 110 of acquiring a first exposure time, a first gain value, a first aperture value, a first exposure node, and a first exposure route of the zoom start point; operation 120, acquiring a current magnification and a maximum aperture value for ensuring the clearness of an image at the current magnification; an operation 130 of determining whether the first aperture is greater than the maximum aperture, if so, setting the maximum aperture to the second aperture, and if not, setting the first aperture to the second aperture; in operation 140, the exposure time and the gain are adjusted to reach the preset brightness value according to the first exposure time, the first gain value, the first exposure node and the first exposure line while keeping the second aperture value unchanged.
Wherein, the exposure node refers to a node on a predetermined exposure route. The exposure amount of each node is the product of the exposure time, the gain value, and the aperture value. On a given exposure route, the node exposure amount is monotonically increased, the exposure amount of the next node is greater than or equal to the exposure amount of the previous node, a component (one of exposure time, a gain value and an aperture value) between the two nodes is increased, the other components are fixed, and the increased component determines the distribution strategy of the route.
In operation 110, the magnification variation refers to adjusting and transforming the magnification of the magnification variation lens (Zoom), and the magnification variation starting point refers to a state before the adjustment and transformation.
In operation 120, the magnification refers to a magnification of a Zoom lens (Zoom), and the magnification refers to a ratio of a size of a subject to an image formed on a sensor when the Zoom lens is at a close-up end of the Zoom lens (i.e., a closest focus distance). The current magnification refers to the magnification at the current moment in the zooming process.
The iris means a device for controlling the amount of light that passes through the lens and enters the light sensing surface in the body. The aperture value is a scale value representing the light transmission capability of the lens corresponding to the aperture value. Generally, the smaller the aperture is, the better the spherical aberration, chromatic aberration and other aberrations can be, the depth of field can be increased, and the curvature of image surface is not obvious, so that higher picture quality can be obtained.
Due to the limitations of cost and process, some lenses limit the relative aperture supportable by the telephoto end (at a larger magnification) in order to ensure that the relative aperture supportable by the wide-angle end (at a smaller magnification) is enough, so that the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image clarity at different magnifications is different.
In the case of incremental conversion of the aperture value by the conventional node exposure method, the exposure time, the gain value, and the aperture value are adjusted incrementally only in accordance with the ambient brightness and the given exposure path, usually without regard to the magnification information. Therefore, in the process of incrementally adjusting the aperture value, the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image definition under the current magnification is possibly exceeded, and the problems of image definition reduction, blurring and the like are caused.
For this reason, in the automatic exposure method provided in the present application, the aperture value is not incrementally adjusted by using the conventional node exposure method, but the maximum aperture value that ensures the sharpness of the image at the current magnification is obtained through operation 120, and the aperture value is adjusted based on the maximum aperture value. Therefore, the aperture value can be controlled to be below the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image definition under the current magnification, and the problems of image definition reduction, frosting and the like caused by overlarge aperture value are avoided.
In operation 130, it is determined whether to adjust the aperture value by comparing the first aperture and the maximum aperture value that ensures clearness of the image at the current magnification in real time. If the first aperture is smaller than or equal to the maximum aperture value which ensures the clearness of the image under the current magnification, keeping the aperture value unchanged so as to avoid influencing the image quality after the aperture value is enlarged; and if the first aperture is larger than the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image clarity under the current magnification, the picture quality is not good, and the aperture value needs to be adjusted. At the moment, the aperture value is reduced and adjusted to be the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image clarity under the current multiplying power, so that the aperture value can not exceed the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image clarity under the current multiplying power in the automatic exposure process, and the problems of image clarity reduction, frosting and the like are avoided.
After the aperture value is determined, the exposure time and the gain value may be continuously adjusted to the preset brightness value according to the conventional node exposure method by operation 140. Therefore, the preset brightness value can be achieved, and the image quality can be ensured by controlling the aperture value.
Therefore, in the zooming process, the method firstly determines a target aperture value by acquiring the maximum aperture value for ensuring the clearness of an image under the current magnification and taking the maximum aperture value as a reference, and then adjusts the exposure time and the gain value according to the exposure node method to reach a preset brightness value. Therefore, no matter what the arrangement of the relative aperture of the lens when the lens tends to be at the long-focus end, the clear image can be ensured in the zooming process.
In addition, it should be noted that the aperture adjustment and the subsequent adjustment of the exposure time and gain are continuous processes of real-time adjustment and adaptation with the magnification change, and are not completed once, and the above method is repeated as long as the magnification is changed until the magnification is stabilized to a certain level. Therefore, through a gradual change process, the image adjustment is more stable, the image display is more stable and smooth, and no large-amplitude image jitter is generated.
It should be noted that the embodiment shown in fig. 1 is only one of the most basic embodiments of the automatic exposure method of the present application, and further refinements and extensions can be made by the implementer on the basis of the embodiment.
According to an embodiment of the present application, acquiring a current magnification and a maximum aperture value for ensuring image clarity at the current magnification includes: acquiring the current multiplying power; and acquiring the maximum aperture value for ensuring the clearness of the image under the current magnification according to the current magnification and a mapping table of the predetermined magnification and the maximum aperture value.
The maximum aperture value corresponding to the current magnification is obtained by searching the mapping table of the predetermined magnification and the maximum aperture value, so that the calculation time can be greatly saved, the automatic exposure adjustment is faster, the image blockage is avoided, and the visual experience of a user is better.
According to an embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: determining at least two multiplying powers; determining a maximum aperture value for ensuring image clarity at each of at least two magnifications; and establishing a mapping table of the magnification and the maximum aperture value according to each magnification and the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image clearness under each magnification.
The maximum aperture value for ensuring the image clarity under each magnification of at least two magnifications can be obtained by calculating various optical performance index values of the lens; the method can also be obtained by manually adjusting the aperture value on the premise of ensuring the image clarity.
Then, a mapping table of the magnification and the maximum aperture value can be established according to each magnification and the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image clarity under each magnification.
According to an embodiment of the present application, establishing a mapping table of magnification and a maximum aperture according to each magnification and a maximum aperture for ensuring image clarity at each magnification includes: according to each multiplying power and the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image clarity under each multiplying power, fitting a polynomial by using a least square method to obtain a first polynomial; and establishing a mapping table of the multiplying power and the maximum aperture value according to the first polynomial.
When determining at least two magnifications, how many magnifications to select and how to determine each magnification are also a big difficulty in balancing. Theoretically, the more the determined number of the multiplying factors is, the more accurate the determined number of the multiplying factors is, but the more the number of the multiplying factors is, the higher the calculation cost or the labor cost of the maximum aperture value for ensuring the image clarity under each multiplying factor is; if the number of magnifications is too small, the maximum aperture value which can ensure the image clarity may not be corresponding to some magnifications.
For this purpose, several typical magnifications can be determined according to expert experience; then, fitting a polynomial by using a least square method to obtain a first polynomial; and then establishing a mapping table of the multiplying power and the maximum aperture value according to the first polynomial. Therefore, the calculation amount or the labor cost can be reduced as much as possible, and the maximum aperture value corresponding to more multiplying power and capable of ensuring the image clearness can be fitted as accurately as possible.
According to an embodiment of the present application, after adjusting the exposure time and the gain to reach the preset brightness value, the method further includes: acquiring the adjusted second exposure time, the adjusted second gain value and a second exposure node; determining a first exposure amount according to the second exposure time, the second gain value and the second aperture value; determining a second exposure line according to the current multiplying power, wherein the second exposure line comprises at least two exposure nodes; determining a third exposure node and a first exposure state position according to the first exposure amount and the second exposure line, wherein the exposure amount of the first exposure state position is equal to the first exposure amount, and the exposure amount of the third exposure node is smaller than the exposure amount of the first exposure state position; and adjusting the exposure time, the gain and the aperture to reach the first exposure amount according to the first exposure state position, the third exposure node, the second exposure line, the second exposure time, the second gain value and the second aperture.
The automatic exposure method provided by the application has the advantages that the adjustment of the aperture value is single and jumping, namely, the aperture value is not adjusted or is adjusted to the target aperture value in one step. Thus, exposure adjustment may be too fast, without transitions, not smooth enough, and may also result in poor visual experience such as flickering.
For this reason, in the present embodiment, after the exposure time and the gain are adjusted to reach the preset luminance value, it is not so urgent to immediately process the image using the adjusted second exposure time, second gain value, and second aperture value, but to further smooth the second exposure time, second gain value, and second aperture value acquired after the adjustment.
During the smoothing process, a third exposure node with a critical exposure amount close to the first exposure amount is selected from the second exposure line according to a traditional exposure node method. The second exposure line is different from the first exposure line and is an exposure line temporarily determined according to the current magnification and the maximum aperture value corresponding to the current magnification.
And then, further fine adjustment is carried out on the exposure time, the gain and the aperture according to the third exposure node and the second exposure line so as to achieve the first exposure. In this way, the whole exposure process can be made smoother, thereby further improving the visual experience of the user.
According to an embodiment of the present application, determining the first exposure amount according to the second exposure time, the second gain value and the second aperture value includes: and determining the first exposure according to the second exposure time, the second gain value, the second aperture value and a mapping table of the predetermined exposure time, gain value, aperture value and brightness unit value.
The mapping table of the exposure time, the gain value, the aperture value and the brightness unit value which are determined in advance is used, the calculation time can be greatly saved, and the first exposure amount corresponding to the second exposure time, the second gain value and the second aperture value can be obtained as soon as possible, so that the automatic exposure adjustment is faster, the image blockage is avoided, and the visual experience of a user is better.
According to an embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: keeping any two items of the exposure time, the gain value and the aperture value unchanged, and adjusting the other item to increase the brightness value, wherein the brightness value and the exposure time, the gain value and the aperture value corresponding to the brightness value are recorded when a brightness unit value is increased; and establishing a mapping table of the exposure time, the gain value, the aperture value and the brightness unit value according to the brightness value and the exposure time, the gain value and the aperture value corresponding to the brightness value.
Thus, a mapping table of the exposure time, the gain value, the aperture value and the brightness unit value with finer precision can be obtained, different requirements under different conditions can be met, and the obtained brightness unit value corresponding to the exposure time, the gain value and the aperture value can be more accurate.
According to an embodiment of the present application, determining the second exposure line according to the current magnification includes: and determining a complete exposure line according to the maximum aperture value of the clear image under the current magnification and the coefficient of 0-1 to obtain a second exposure line.
Wherein each coefficient may be set according to an expert experience value. In addition, at least two exposure nodes may also be determined by setting the gain and the exposure time in a similar manner. In this way, all possible exposure nodes can be adaptively calculated for selection, so that a complete exposure line can be determined to obtain a second exposure line.
The above embodiments are exemplary illustrations of how to further refine and expand on the basis of the basic embodiment shown in fig. 1, and an implementer may combine various implementations in the above embodiments to form a new embodiment according to specific implementation conditions and needs, so as to achieve a more ideal implementation effect.
Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of the automatic exposure method of the present application, which combines the above embodiments to finally form another embodiment with better implementation effect.
This embodiment first completes the following two preparation works before the automatic exposure is realized:
1) calibrating the maximum aperture value H of the clear image under each magnification, wherein H is a curve which is monotonically decreased along with the magnification value (as shown in FIG. 3, the horizontal axis is the magnification of variable magnification, and the vertical axis is the maximum aperture value);
2) and calibrating the equivalent relation between the gain variation, the aperture variation and the exposure time variation and the image brightness.
The above operation is only completed once, and then, when the lens is zoomed each time, the automatic exposure can be realized through the following steps:

The automatic exposure during zooming is realized through the steps, the image can be ensured to be clear in the zooming process, the process of smooth exposure adjustment is carried out after the zooming is finished, and each required quantized value can be quickly determined by searching a pre-established multiplying power and maximum aperture value mapping table and mapping tables of each exposure value (exposure time, gain value and aperture value) and brightness unit value, so that the quick adjustment of the exposure is realized, and the visual experience of a user can be greatly improved.
Since the above process takes into account the correspondence between the exposure value and the magnification, it is adaptable to any lens and various application scenarios.
