The inventor of the application researches and discovers that the Sensor is the core of the camera and is responsible for converting optical signals passing through Lens into electric signals and then converting the electric signals into digital signals through internal AD (digital-to-analog conversion). There are two kinds of pixel arrays, one is RGB array and the other is Bayer array (Bayer pattern), and Bayer array is currently used in the market.
An RGB (Red, Green, Blue, Red, Green, Blue) array, i.e. each pixel is added with a different color filter to filter out the color of the three channels of RGB.
Bayer pattern (Bayer pattern) is used to solve the problem that the color cost is too high for filtering out three RGB channels by adding different color filters to each pixel. Instead of placing a three-color filter on each pixel of the bayer array, a single color filter is placed with a space between each pixel. Each channel results in a partially empty picture, and this empty value can be filled by various interpolation means. The three channels are ordered, for example: the bayer array is a repeated arrangement of 2 × 2 cells, because human vision is sensitive to green, and there are 1R, 1B, and 2G cells in the four cells. Ideally, each pixel should have three color values, and actually R and B are only 1/4, and G is only 1/2, so that the bayer pattern obtains an image with only 1/3 content as true, and the others are obtained by interpolation, which also indicates that the natural image has a large amount of redundant information.
The inventor of the present application further researches and discovers that Camera can replace human eyes to acquire places which people cannot reach, and is an extension of human vision, in the current market, a great time delay is generated from information acquisition of a Camera end to display end display, the characteristic of the end-to-end time delay is greatly different from that of information acquisition of human eyes, and a new technical scheme is needed to reduce the end-to-end time delay so as to meet the requirements of human eyes.
The application provides a pixel circuit of a photosensitive block, an image processing method, an image processing device and an electronic device, and aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art.
The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how to solve the above technical problems with specific embodiments.
An embodiment of the present application provides an image processing method, and as shown in fig. 1, the image processing method includes: step S101 to step S102.
S101, when the moving target speed of an image area is detected to be larger than a preset speed threshold value, switching a first scanning mode into a block scanning mode; the pixel circuit of the photosensitive block according to any embodiment of the present application is adopted in a block scanning manner, and the specific structure of the pixel circuit of the photosensitive block is described in detail later.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when a high-speed moving object is captured, the sensor switches the integral exposure, and performs image processing by using the block scanning manner in the embodiment of the present application.
And S102, sequentially controlling the photodiodes 10 of at least two pixel units of each photosensitive block to charge the same charge storage device 20 to obtain pixel information of an image area. The specific structure of the pixel circuit of the photosensitive block is shown in fig. 4 and 6.
Alternatively, the photodiodes 10 of at least two pixel units of each photosensitive block are sequentially controlled to charge the same charge storage device 20, and pixel information of each photosensitive block is obtained correspondingly, so that pixel information of the whole image area is obtained.
According to the embodiment of the application, when the moving target speed of the image area is greater than the preset speed threshold value, the scanning mode is switched to the block scanning mode, the photodiodes 10 of at least two pixel units of each photosensitive block are sequentially controlled to charge the same charge storage device 20, so that the charging time of the charge storage device 20 is shortened, the time of exposure integration is greatly shortened, the image imaging and transmission speed are increased, the technical problem of poor display effect caused by display delay is avoided, and the user experience is improved.
The inventors of the present application consider that there are two sensor exposure scan modes, one is rolling exposure scan and one is global exposure. At present, the rolling exposure scanning is an exposure mode with a higher utilization rate.
The rolling exposure scanning is that line-by-line exposure is read out line by line, the sensor line-by-line exposure starts from the first line, and the second line starts after one line period ends. And so on, the exposure is started at the Nth line after the N-1 line. After the first line exposure is finished, data reading is started, and one line period time (including line blanking time) is required for reading one line. After the first row is completely read out, the second row just starts to be read out, and so on, when the N-1 row is completely read out, the Nth row starts to be read out until the whole image is completely read out.
The global exposure scanning is frame exposure scanning, all the rows of the Sensor start exposure at the same time, the exposure is ended at the same time, after the exposure is ended, the Sensor transfers all the electrons from the photosensitive block to the storage area, and then pixel data is read out line by line. The advantage of such exposure is that the exposure time for each line of the image is relatively uniform, and the image is not shifted or skewed when a moving object is captured.
The inventor of the present application further researches and discovers that the rolling exposure scanning is an exposure mode with a high utilization rate at present, and has the characteristics of long time consumption of line-by-line scanning and delayed picture imaging. The block scanning mode adopted by the embodiment of the application is to pack the pixel units in each frame of image according to blocks and then carry out exposure scanning, and the mode can reduce the line scanning time and the line blanking time at the same time, so that the exposure time and the imaging speed can be improved.
In some embodiments, the first scanning mode adopts a progressive scanning mode.
Alternatively, the progressive scanning mode, i.e. the conventional rolling exposure scanning mode, may also adopt other conventional normal exposure modes.
Compared with the conventional progressive scanning mode, the block scanning mode of the embodiment of the application reduces the scanning line number and saves line scanning and line blanking time.
The block scanning mode of the embodiment of the application can reduce end-to-end delay, can enable people to obtain external information at the first time, ensures the real-time performance of the information, and presets an acceptable upper limit threshold of the speed according to the response of human eyes under the condition that the speed of a moving target in an image area is detected to be greater than a preset speed threshold, namely, when the upper limit is exceeded, the scene picture can be basically ignored. When the head rotates rapidly, when the moving speed is detected to exceed a preset speed threshold value, the exposure mode is automatically switched into a block scanning mode, the characteristic that human eyes observe objects is that the requirements on the display speed and the image definition of a stop-motion image are high, and when the head rotates rapidly, the surrounding scene cannot be particularly concerned. Therefore, the scene resolution is reduced by the block scanning mode, and the data transmission speed of each frame is improved by reducing the display data amount, so that the problem of transmission delay is reduced.

As an example, referring to fig. 4, the embodiment of the present application uses the 3x3 photo-sensing block array of the RGB pixel array as a basic unit, connects the first gate signal lines gate of the 3x3 photo-sensing blocks through the second switching device 40, and then the 3x3 photo-sensing block array controls the 3x3 photo-sensing block array to be simultaneously turned on through one second gate signal line gate a. In the integrated pixel circuit composed of a plurality of photosensitive blocks, nine first switching devices 30 are connected together inside each unit composed of a 3 × 3 photosensitive block array, the data signal line dataA is one, 9 photodiodes 10 are simultaneously turned on and charge the first capacitor C1 with a concentrated charge, and photoelectric conversion is completed.
As an example, referring to fig. 6, in the embodiment of the present application, a 3 × 3 photosensitive block array of a Bayer array is used as a basic unit, pixel units are arranged as shown in fig. 5, with 9 pixel units as a small whole, and pixel units of color filter layers of a first color R, a second color G and a third color B are respectively connected to each other, that is, a photodiode 10 of a pixel unit corresponding to the first color R among the 9 pixel units charges a third capacitor C3, a photodiode 10 of a pixel unit corresponding to the second color G charges a second capacitor C2, and a photodiode 10 of a pixel unit corresponding to the third color B charges a fourth capacitor C4.

That is, the pixel unit of the photosensitive block in the embodiment of the present application does not need to send the original value to the ISP, and the ISP calculates other color values of the photosensitive point according to another two values around a single photosensitive point value through interpolation, special effect processing, and the like, so as to restore the RGB step, and the RGB pixel can be directly obtained and directly used for display at the display end, thereby omitting the step of converting the display format in the ISP, improving the image imaging speed, and reducing the charging time, thereby reducing the end-to-end display delay from the camera to the display.
