Each two-dimensional array of overlapping coefficients includes a plurality of overlapping coefficients respectively corresponding to the pixels of the corresponding gray scale reduced image. For example, if the resolution of each grayscale reduced image is 3×3, because there are 9 pixels in total, the number of the overlap coefficients is 9, and the two-dimensional array of the overlap coefficients is 3× 3 arrays.
搭配參閱圖4,步驟25包括子步驟251~255,以下說明步驟25所包括的子步驟。With reference to FIG. 4, step 25 includes sub-steps 251 to 255, and the sub-steps included in step 25 are described below.

在步驟252中,對於每一灰階縮小圖像的每一像素位置,該處理單元12判定該灰階縮小圖像的該像素位置對應的最大能量梯度是否大於一門檻值。對於每一灰階縮小圖像的每一像素位置,當判定出該灰階縮小圖像的該像素位置對應的最大能量梯度大於該門檻值時,流程進行步驟253;而當定出該灰階縮小圖像的該像素位置對應的最大能量梯度不大於該門檻值時,流程進行步驟254。In
該門檻值如下式: 門檻值= EG max* P%, 其中, EG max為正數, 。值得注意的是,在本實施例中, , 為位於該灰階縮小圖像的該像素位置之像素的鄰域像素之數量,在其他實施方式中, 亦可為其他值,例如 、 ,及 ,但不以此為限。 The threshold value is as follows: Threshold value = EG max * P %, where EG max is a positive number, . It is worth noting that in this embodiment, , Is the number of neighboring pixels of the pixel located at the pixel position of the grayscale reduced image. In other embodiments, Can also be other values, such as , ,and , But not limited to this.
在步驟253中,對於每一灰階縮小圖像的每一像素位置,該處理單元12根據該灰階縮小圖像的該像素位置對應的能量梯度總和及能量梯度,獲得一對應該灰階縮小圖像的該像素位置的疊合係數。值得注意的是,在本實施例中,該疊合係數為該像素位置對應的能量梯度除以該像素位置對應的能量梯度總和,但不以此為限。In
在步驟254中,對於每一灰階縮小圖像的每一像素位置,該處理單元12根據該等灰階縮小圖像的數量,獲得該疊合係數。值得注意的是,在本實施例中,該疊合係數為1除以該等灰階縮小圖像的數量,但不以此為限。In
在步驟255中,對於每一灰階縮小圖像,該處理單元12根據該灰階縮小圖像的所有像素位置對應的疊合係數,獲得一對應該灰階縮小圖像的疊合係數二維陣列。In
搭配參閱圖5,舉例來說,假設有3張灰階縮小圖像,每一灰階縮小圖像的解析度為3×3,故共有(1,1)、(1,2)、(1,3)、(2,1)、(2,2)、(2,3)、(3,1)、(3,2),及 (3,3)等9個像素位置。Refer to Figure 5 for collocation. For example, suppose there are 3 reduced grayscale images, and the resolution of each reduced grayscale image is 3×3, so there are (1,1), (1,2), (1) ,3), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), and (3,3) 9 pixel positions.
若該等灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,1)對應的能量梯度分別為1423、867、597,則像素位置(1,1)對應的最大能量梯度為1423,像素位置(1,1)對應的能量梯度總和2887,以4連通為標準,則像素位置(1,1)之像素的鄰域像素之數量為2,因此 ,若 P=1,則該門檻值=1300.5,由於像素位置(1,1)對應的最大能量梯度大於該門檻值,故對應第1張灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,1)之疊合係數為1423/2887=0.493,對應第2張灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,1)之疊合係數為867/2887=0.3,對應第3張灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,1)之疊合係數為597/2887=0.207。要特別注意的是,該等灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,1)對應的疊合係數總合為1,故對應第3張灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,1)之疊合係數亦可由1-0.493-0.3=0.207的方式獲得。 If the energy gradients corresponding to the pixel position (1,1) of these grayscale reduced images are 1423, 867, and 597, respectively, the maximum energy gradient corresponding to the pixel position (1,1) is 1423, and the pixel position (1,1) ) Corresponds to the sum of the energy gradients of 2887. Taking 4-connectivity as the standard, the number of neighboring pixels of the pixel at the pixel position (1,1) is 2, so , If P =1, the threshold value = 1300.5. Since the maximum energy gradient corresponding to the pixel position (1,1) is greater than the threshold value, it corresponds to the pixel position (1,1) of the first grayscale reduced image The overlap coefficient is 1423/2887=0.493, which corresponds to the pixel position (1,1) of the second grayscale reduced image, and the overlap coefficient is 867/2887=0.3, which corresponds to the pixel position of the third grayscale reduced image The overlap coefficient of (1,1) is 597/2887=0.207. It should be noted that the sum of the overlap coefficients corresponding to the pixel position (1,1) of the reduced grayscale image is 1, so it corresponds to the pixel position (1,1) of the third grayscale reduced image. The overlap coefficient can also be obtained by the method of 1-0.493-0.3=0.207.
若該等灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,2)對應的能量梯度分別為895、1023、485,則像素位置(1,2)對應的最大能量梯度為1023,該像素位置對應的能量梯度總和為2403,以4連通為標準,則像素位置(1,2)之像素的鄰域像素之數量為3,因此 ,若 P=1,則該門檻值=1950.75,由於像素位置(1,1)對應的最大能量梯度不大於該門檻值,故對應第1張灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,2)之疊合係數為1/3,對應第2張灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,2)之疊合係數為1/3,對應第3張灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,2)之疊合係數為1/3。 If the energy gradients corresponding to the pixel positions (1,2) of the reduced grayscale images are 895, 1023, and 485, respectively, the maximum energy gradient corresponding to the pixel position (1,2) is 1023, and the energy corresponding to the pixel position The sum of gradients is 2403. Taking 4 connectivity as the standard, the number of neighboring pixels of the pixel at pixel position (1,2) is 3, so , If P =1, the threshold value = 1950.75, since the maximum energy gradient corresponding to the pixel position (1,1) is not greater than the threshold value, it corresponds to the pixel position (1,2) of the first grayscale reduced image The overlap coefficient is 1/3, and the overlap coefficient corresponding to the pixel position (1,2) of the second grayscale reduced image is 1/3, which corresponds to the pixel position (1, 2) The overlap coefficient is 1/3.
在步驟26中,對於每一疊合係數二維陣列的每一疊合係數,該處理單元12獲得該疊合係數與其相鄰的疊合係數的係數平均值。In step 26, for each overlap coefficient of each overlap coefficient two-dimensional array, the processing unit 12 obtains the coefficient average value of the overlap coefficient and the adjacent overlap coefficient.
在步驟27中,對於每一疊合係數二維陣列,該處理單元12根據步驟26所獲得的所有對應該疊合係數二維陣列的係數平均值,獲得一平滑化疊合係數二維陣列。In
要特別注意的是,在本實施例中,對於每一疊合係數二維陣列,該處理單元12係以所獲得係數平均值取代其所對應的疊合係數,以獲得平滑化疊合係數二維陣列,舉例來說,假設對應第1張灰階縮小圖像的疊合係數二維陣列之第1列第1行的疊合係數(即對應第1張灰階縮小圖像的像素位置(1,1)之疊合係數)為0.493,以4連通為標準,則其相鄰疊合係數為對應第1張灰階縮小圖像的疊合係數二維陣列之第1列第2行的疊合係數,例如為1/3,以及對應第1張灰階縮小圖像的疊合係數二維陣列之第2列第1行的疊合係數,例如為0.4,可獲得對應第1張灰階縮小圖像的疊合係數二維陣列之第1列第1行的疊合係數所對應的係數平均值為0.409,因此對應第1張灰階縮小圖像的平滑化疊合係數二維陣列之第1列第1行的值為0.409。It should be noted that, in this embodiment, for each two-dimensional array of superimposed coefficients, the processing unit 12 replaces its corresponding superimposed coefficient with the average value of the obtained coefficients to obtain a smoothed superimposed system. For example, suppose that the overlap coefficient corresponding to the first grayscale reduced image is the overlap coefficient of the first column and the first row of the two-dimensional array (that is, the overlap coefficient corresponding to the first grayscale reduced image The overlap coefficient at the pixel position (1,1) is 0.493, and if 4 is connected as the standard, the adjacent overlap coefficient is the first column of the two-dimensional array of overlap coefficients corresponding to the first grayscale reduced image The overlap coefficient of the second row, for example 1/3, and the overlap coefficient of the second column and the first row of the two-dimensional array corresponding to the first grayscale reduced image, for example 0.4, can be obtained Corresponding to the first gray-scale reduced image, the superimposed coefficient corresponding to the superimposed coefficient in the first column and the first row of the two-dimensional array is 0.409, so it corresponds to the smoothing of the first gray-scale reduced image The value of the first column and the first row of the superposition coefficient two-dimensional array is 0.409.
要再注意的是,在本實施例中,該處理單元12係先對於每一疊合係數獲得對應的係數平均值,再由係數平均值獲得平滑化疊合係數二維陣列,在其他實施方式中,該處理單元12亦可將該等疊合係數二維陣列進行一高斯模糊運算,以獲得多個分別對應該等疊合係數二維陣列的平滑化疊合係數二維陣列,不以此為限。It should be noted again that in this embodiment, the processing unit 12 first obtains the corresponding coefficient average value for each overlap coefficient, and then obtains a two-dimensional array of smoothed overlap coefficients from the coefficient average value. In other implementations, In the manner, the processing unit 12 may also perform a Gaussian blur operation on the two-dimensional arrays of overlapping coefficients to obtain a plurality of smoothed two-dimensional arrays of overlapping coefficients respectively corresponding to the two-dimensional arrays of overlapping coefficients. , Not limited to this.
在步驟28中,該處理單元12將該等平滑化疊合係數二維陣列進行放大化,以獲得多個分別對應該等平滑化疊合係數二維陣列的放大化疊合係數二維陣列,該等放大化疊合係數二維陣列的陣列大小與該等圖像處理後圖像的解析度相同。In
值得注意的是,在本實施例中,該處理單元12係利用一鄰近相關內插法將該等疊合係數二維陣列放大,但不以此為限。It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the processing unit 12 uses a neighbor correlation interpolation method to amplify the two-dimensional array of overlapping coefficients, but it is not limited to this.
要再注意的是,在其他實施方式中,可不進行步驟26、27,以致在步驟28中該處理單元12係將該等疊合係數二維陣列進行放大化。It should be noted again that in other embodiments, steps 26 and 27 may not be performed, so that in
在步驟29中,該處理單元12根據該等放大化疊合係數二維陣列,將該等圖像處理後圖像進行疊合,以獲得一疊合圖像。In step 29, the processing unit 12 superimposes the processed images according to the two-dimensional arrays of magnified superimposition coefficients to obtain a superimposed image.
搭配參閱圖6,步驟29包括子步驟291~293,以下說明步驟29所包括的子步驟。Referring to FIG. 6 in conjunction, step 29 includes sub-steps 291 to 293. The sub-steps included in step 29 are described below.
在步驟291中,對於每一圖像處理後圖像,該處理單元12將一包括該圖像處理後圖像的所有像素值的像素陣列與該圖像處理後圖像對應的放大化疊合係數二維陣列相乘,以獲得一疊合像素陣列。In step 291, for each image after image processing, the processing unit 12 superimposes a pixel array including all pixel values of the image after image processing with the corresponding magnification of the image after image processing. The two-dimensional array of coefficients is multiplied to obtain a superimposed pixel array.
在步驟292中,該處理單元12將步驟291獲得的所有疊合像素陣列進行疊加,以獲得一疊加後像素陣列。In
在步驟293中,該處理單元12根據該疊加後像素陣列獲得該疊合圖像。In
要特別注意的是,在其他實施方式中,可不執行步驟22,該處理單元12直接以該等拍攝圖像進行步驟23~29,以致在步驟23中,該處理單元12係將該等拍攝圖像進行灰階化及縮小化,在步驟28中,該等放大化疊合係數二維陣列的陣列大小係與該等拍攝圖像的解析度相同,以及步驟29中,該處理單元12係將該等拍攝圖像進行疊合。It should be particularly noted that in other embodiments, step 22 may not be performed, and the processing unit 12 directly performs steps 23 to 29 with the captured images, so that in step 23, the processing unit 12 performs the captured images. The image is gray-scaled and reduced. In
要再注意的是,在其他實施方式中,該處理單元12還可以將該疊合圖像進行圖像處理,例如圖像銳化運算,以獲得一特徵細節更清晰的銳化後疊合圖像,但不以此為限。It should be noted again that in other embodiments, the processing unit 12 may also perform image processing on the superimposed image, such as image sharpening, to obtain a sharpened superimposed image with clearer feature details. Like, but not limited to it.
綜上所述,本發明半導體元件圖像疊合方法,藉由該處理單元12將具有不同特徵的該等拍攝圖像,進行疊合,以使獲得的該疊合圖像能反映出該半導體元件的表面之高低差與反光度差異,此外,該處理單元12根據該等能量梯度組,獲得該等疊合係數二維陣列,再將該等疊合係數二維陣列平滑化及放大化,最後根據該等放大化疊合係數二維陣列,獲得該疊合圖像,能防止該疊合圖像出現塊狀分佈現象,故確實能達成本發明的目的。In summary, the semiconductor device image superimposing method of the present invention superimposes the photographed images with different characteristics through the processing unit 12, so that the obtained superimposed image can reflect the semiconductor The difference in height and reflectance of the surface of the element.
