As from the foregoing, the method for above-mentioned adjustment brightness of flash lamp obviously have some unheeded disappearances, and the existence of these disappearances can be improved on reality is used.
" summary of the invention "
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method of adjusting brightness of flash lamp, this method is to adopt interpretive model that the flash luminance value that obtains is analyzed, and analytic process comprises flash of light for the first time--the data analysis of-preflashing and the amount trimmed of AGC and charging capacitor analyzed.
Before proposing concrete invention step, the interpretive model that arrives involved in the present invention is described earlier.As shown in Figure 5: the polishing length relation of brightness and flash of light can be used a curve representation, draws interpretive model 1:L=(128-Y according to a series of data of this curve 1) 2* X 1/ (Y 2-Y 1+ A) 2, wherein, L represents main length of dodging polishing, Y 1The brightness value of object environment of living in before the expression flash of light for the first time, Y 2Expression is flash of light for the first time--the brightness value of object feedback during-preflashing, X 1The length of polishing when expression is glistened for the first time, A represents the main fine setting constant that dodges polishing length, and this constant is in order to adjust the error that different flash lamp components and charging capacitor form, and 128 is a constant.Final flash of light---main the sudden strain of a muscle time that is continued, its computing formula is: T=L*B, wherein T represents main the sudden strain of a muscle duration, and L represents the length of the main light polishing that sparkles, and B represents the main coefficient that dodges polishing length.For the main polishing length factor B that dodges that is mentioned in the above-mentioned interpretive model, can obtain according to another interpretive model 2, interpretive model 2:B=M*N/M ' * N ', wherein M represents a fixing AGC value, level value when N represents 90% electric weight in the charging capacitor, the amount trimmed of M ' expression AGC, the variable quantity of N ' expression charging capacitor level value.Because supposed at first in the interpretive model reasoning process of the present invention that 3 conditions are what to be fixed: when (1) is converted into electric signal in the light intensity of Charged Coupled Device institute perception, adopt fixing AGC value M; (2) electric weight of charging capacitor remains on more than the N after the preflashing: (3) preflashing polishing length is determined, so have the AGC value and the electric capacity charge value M ' N ' that can finely tune to occur in mathematical model 2.

" specific embodiment "
Providing one to comprise numerical digit signal processing system (DSP, Digital Signal Process), behind the digital product and a photographic subjects thing of flash lamp component, charging capacitor and AGC (automatic gain controller), the present invention will be described in more detail with this embodiment for we.
Be illustrated in figure 2 as digital product and realize the component architecture figure of flash of light: numerical digit signal processing system (DSP) detects needs flash of light, and detect charging capacitor and have enough electric weight to use (S200), just flash and instruct in flash lamp component (S201), flash of light makes Charged Coupled Device (CCD/CMOS) sensitization by thing reflection lens LENS, the light signal of Charged Coupled Device institute perception converts electric signal (S202) to by automatic gain controller (AGC), the numerical digit signal processing system is at DRAM (dynamic RAM, Dynamic Random-AccessMemory) carries out image processing (S203) in, at last picture is stored in the flash chip (FLASH IC) (S204).As can be seen, the factor of influence flash of light also comprises assembly such as charging capacitor and the AGC in some signal processings in this flash of light process.
As shown in Figure 6, take preceding flow chart of steps for digital product in the embodiment of the invention.Digital product detects the electric weight of charging capacitor earlier whether greater than the fault value, if then enter the action of taking pictures before beginning to take.Then as shown in Figure 7, flow chart of steps for embodiments of the invention, digital product determines according to the residing environment of object whether needs glisten, if desired, the numerical digit signal processing system can be obtained the ambient brightness value before the flash of light, carry out the flash of light first time---preflashing then, same numerical digit signal processing system can be obtained the brightness value of preflashing, tentatively calculate the time that the promptly main sudden strain of a muscle of flash of light next time continues according to these two brightness values, then by charging capacitor and main lasting time of sudden strain of a muscle of AGC fine setting, last numerical digit signal processing system calculates the main duration of dodging according to interpretive model, and digital product is got flash of light, finishes shooting.
Can use some interpretive models in the embodiments of the invention, the reasoning process that can simultaneously interpretive model be used in the process of explanation embodiment illustrates in the lump.In the present embodiment, the time that the final flash of light of digital product-master's sudden strain of a muscle continues is calculated by an interpretive model: T=L*B, and wherein T represents main the sudden strain of a muscle duration, and L represents the length of main sparkling light polishing, and B represents the main coefficient that dodges polishing length.Wherein the release of L and B relates to two interpretive models, and present embodiment carries out reasoning at the derivation of L earlier.Employed interpretive model is: L=(128-Y 1) 2* X 1/ (Y 2-Y 1+ A) 2, wherein, L represents main length of dodging polishing, Y 1The brightness value of object environment of living in before the expression flash of light for the first time, Y 2The brightness value of object feedback when expression is glistened for the first time, X 1The length of polishing when expression is glistened for the first time, A represents the main fine setting constant that dodges polishing length.
At first, confirm the characteristic of flasher circuit, be the relation between flash luminance and the flash of light polishing length: for the convenience of reasoning, use a fixing distance to adjust earlier, suppose with flash of light distance that farthest as its test point its test environment uses the grey paper of emissivity 18% at total darkness environment and object, Ce Shi result as shown in Figure 3 like this, curve among the figure shows, is nonlinearities change between the polishing length of flash luminance and flash of light.
Secondly, need know flash of light--the length X of polishing during-preflashing for the first time 1, in principle for fear of the electric weight of the too many charging capacitor of preflashing consumption, the polishing length that needs to consider preflashing shortens as far as possible, and this need consider the guide number of numerical digit product and the regulation of flash of light distance.Present embodiment with flash of light distance farthest as its test point, its test environment is 18% grey paper at total darkness environment and object use emissivity, the polishing length setting will glisten earlier for the longest, obtain the mean flow rate of the object of taking pictures this moment, the mean flow rate of picture at this moment must be greater than limits value 128, otherwise the flash of light distance of its design specification regulation just can not set up.Then, nearest as its test point to glisten again, it is 18% grey paper that its test environment uses emissivity at total darkness environment and object, the mean flow rate of obtaining the picture of taking pictures this moment about 128, with the polishing length setting of the flash of light of this moment for the shortest.In the present embodiment earlier preflashing polishing length half initial value of the shortest value as preflashing polishing length, initial value with this preflashing polishing length uses in the distance test point farthest of glistening again, confirm the mean flow rate of its object of taking pictures, if preflashing polishing length X is determined in the brightness of the object that this mean flow rate is not glistened under same distance greater than camera 1If not, then need the suitably initial value of lengthening preflashing polishing length, up to definite preflashing polishing length X 1Till.
The numerical digit signal system can be obtained the brightness value Y of the preceding object environment of living in of preflashing 1The brightness value Y of object feedback when reaching preflashing 2Under the definite condition of the polishing length of the level value N of fixing AGC value M, fixing charging capacitor and preflashing, it is that 18% grey paper carries out the test of two kinds of different environment as object that present embodiment uses emissivity, draw ambient brightness, preflashing brightness and main relation of dodging between the polishing length, shown in the 4th figure, by the curve fitting mode, push away acting version interpretive model L=(128-Y then 1) 2* X 1/ (Y 2-Y 1+ A) 2, draw the main polishing length value L of dodging.Because different flash lamp components and charging capacitor can form certain error, carry out revisal so provide a main polishing length constant A that dodges.
In the present embodiment, after the digital product preflashing, numerical digit signal processing system primary Calculation goes out main the sudden strain of a muscle time that continues, and then, uses AGC and charging capacitor to finely tune again and calculates main the sudden strain of a muscle duration, and this fine setting can produce a main polishing length factor B that dodges.When the light intensity of Charged Coupled Device institute perception is converted into electric signal, adopt fixedly AGC value in the interpretive model 1, but in the actual photographed process, just need turn down the AGC value owing to need consider noise, again because the restriction of the long dozen light length of flashlamp may need suitably to heighten the AGC value, under certain ambient brightness/preflashing brightness/hardware condition, need the value of fine setting AGC, trim values is made as M '.
Equally, flash lamp component is when glistening, the electric weight of charging capacitor need be set a threshold value N (get usually charging capacitor amount 90%), otherwise can influence main intensity of dodging because the electric weight of charging capacitor is not enough, because preflashing can consume the electric weight of charging capacitor, main like this intensity of dodging is just directly related with the electric weight of charging capacitor after the preflashing, so the electric weight of charging capacitor need be taken into account after the preflashing, supposes that level value at this moment is N '.
In interpretive model 1, the adjustment of flash of light is to carry out under rigid condition, the AGC value is big more in the reality, under same distance, the brighter display of its acquisition, in like manner, the electric weight of charging capacitor is high more after the preflashing, under the same distance, the brightness of its acquisition is also bright more, so the main interpretive model that dodges the use of polishing length factor is: B=M*N/M ' * N '.Released now main L, B value of dodging among the used analytic expression T=L*B of duration, that one mainly dodges lasting time and also just is not difficult to draw.Because what the duration of main sudden strain of a muscle can be more accurate calculates at every turn, so main dodge the brightness meeting more stable, through repeatedly test, the good results are evident, as shown in Figure 8 be comparison diagram by the stable case of flash luminance before and after the fine setting of AGC and charging capacitor, the curve of (Fig. 8 A) curve of (Fig. 8 B) before the obviously stable fine setting that rises and falls after the fine setting.
The above only is the specific embodiment of the invention, can not limit the scope that invention is implemented with this, and all equivalences of being done according to the present patent application claims content change and revise, all in the scope that patent of the present invention contains.
