As shown in Figure 2, be the structural representation of camera of the present invention, as seen from the figure, camera of the present invention comprises imageing sensor 100 and data processing equipment 200.
Described imageing sensor 100 is used for photosignal is converted to digital picture and sends view data to described data processing equipment 200, and it has the valid pixel of some, such as 1280 * 1024 or 1024 * 768 etc.Described imageing sensor 100 includes the pel array register of its actual output pixel array of decision.In one embodiment, actual if desired output pixel array is 640 * 480, then the pel array register is carried out corresponding configuration and obtained 640 * 480 actual output pixel array, in addition, need to change the position of actual output pixel array, as shown in Figure 1, then need to reconfigure the numerical value of pel array register, that is to say, can arbitrarily move the position in actual output pixel array (actual imaging zone) by configuration pel array register.
Described data processing equipment 200 comprises image sensor interface module 10, image processing module 20, image compression module 30, microcontroller 40, usb bus module 60.
Described image sensor interface module 10 is gathered the view data of imageing sensor 100 according to the level and the vertical direction synchronizing signal of own inner generation or imageing sensor generation.The data of described image sensor interface module collection can directly be delivered to USB (universal serial bus) bus module, pass to then on the PC (personal computer); Also can carry out some image processing, and then pass on the PC by usb bus module 60 through image processing module 20.Communication between image sensor interface module and the imageing sensor can be a serial communication mode.
Described image processing module 20 receives the view data that image sensor interface modules 10 send, and to image amplify, dwindle, associative operations such as gain-adjusted, color treatments.
For network application,, in general also to pass to PC through the usb bus module again through overcompression through data after the image processing because bandwidth is of great value.Therefore, data processing equipment 200 provided by the invention disposes image compression module 30, it is used for the data after image processing module 20 processing are compressed processing, data after the compression are passed on the PC by the usb bus module, like this, reduce the shared space of view data, with effective reduction transmitted data amount.
Whether described microcontroller 40 also carries out the various Control Parameter registers of image processing and compression and image processing and compression by the register decision of setting other module, thereby reaches the requirement of user to picture quality.It can also be accepted interruption that each module feeds back during certain function in operation and this interruption is handled accordingly.
Data processing equipment 200 of the present invention also includes picture recognition module 50, and it is loaded with corresponding recognizer and algorithm.Described picture recognition module is used for the predetermined object of imageing sensor pickup image is discerned and predetermined object movement is detected, mobile vector according to this predetermined object, remove to reconfigure the imaging region of the pel array register of imageing sensor 100 by image sensor interface module 10 with dynamic control chart image-position sensor, that is to say, according to the position of the actual output pixel array that moves dynamic control chart image-position sensor of this predetermined object.
In one embodiment, what load in the described picture recognition module 50 is recognition of face program and algorithm, also can claim this moment picture recognition module 50 to be face recognition module.People's face in the pickup image of described face recognition module 50 recognition image transducers 100 is also judged moving of people's face, and according to the imaging region of the pel array register of people's face mobile vector by image sensor interface module 10 configure imageing sensors 1 00, thereby realize the dynamic tracking of output image to people's face with dynamic control chart image-position sensor.
Still adopt previously described example, for example the maximum output pixel array of imageing sensor is 1280 * 1024, and the user only be concerned about wherein 640 * 480 in the portrait part.The actual output pixel array of imageing sensor can be controlled by the pel array register, and (y1 y2), needs only the requirement that x2-x1=640 and y2-y1=480 just can satisfy the user for x1, x2 such as the pel array register four parameters.When face recognition module 50 detects the center change of people face part,, correspondingly adjust x1, x2, y1 and y2 register according to the position vector that moves.In the time of when the people face part exceeds imageing sensor maximum pixel array scope on a certain direction in, actual output pixel array position is not changing in that this side up, please refer to Fig. 1, such as the people face part in the left side has exceeded imageing sensor maximum pixel array scope, if people's face also moves to the left side, do not change actual output pixel array position so,, so also will change actual output pixel array position according to mobile vector if the people faces upward or moves right.
According to the feature of people's face, eyes generally are paired appearance, therefore can be by surveying the appearance whether pair of eyes is arranged in the frame in video flowing, and so that (x is y) as the center of people face part, this reference coordinates as people's face with the place between the eyebrows position.The register of configuration image identification module 50 is thought its setting detect cycle, and it has determined that how many frames carry out once such recognition of face.When (x, that value y) departs from is predefined (that this picture recognition module 50 calculates is current for x0, zone y0) (x, y) and (x0, difference y0) join this difference on the coordinate of imageing sensor 100 current actual output pixel arrays.If the coordinate figure that calculates does not exceed the scope of the pel array of imageing sensor 100 maximums, then send interrupt requests the pel array register of the value of calculating to imageing sensor 100 is configured, otherwise do not handle to microcontroller 40.After layoutprocedure is finished, (x0, y0) be updated to current (x, y).Imageing sensor 100 will be inquired about its output image regional register and export the image of corresponding size and location according to it in outside each frame figure of output.After finding that regional register changes, imageing sensor will be according to the coordinate figure output image of new pel array register (being field synchronization, frame synchronization starting and ending register).
This camera can also be applied to the object of other motion, for example athletic running tracking etc.Image (people's face) identification module can be by surveying two changing units between the frames (i.e. sportsman in the motion) relatively, to the part that moves count a reference point (x, y).(x0 y0) compares, thereby calculates the motion vector of moving object with the coordinate of this reference point and design or current reference point in advance.Satisfying under the condition that motion vector occurs in the imageing sensor effective range, image (people's face) identification module will send interrupt requests to microcontroller.Have no progeny in receiving, microcontroller reads motion vector, the initial value of the regional register of imageing sensor is added that motion vector calculates new value, by image sensor interface new value is write the regional register of imageing sensor then, thereby realization is to the tracking of moving object.
