Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to imaging systems which may be used, for example, in connection with digital cameras, scanners, and the like.
  • Imaging sensors based on silicon technology typically use an infrared blocking element in the optical chain.
  • the purpose of this infrared blocking element is to prevent infrared radiation (IR) or light (typically considered to be light with a wavelength longer than 780 nm) from entering the imaging array.
  • IR infrared radiation
  • light typically considered to be light with a wavelength longer than 780 nm
  • Silicon-based devices are typically sensitive to light with wavelengths up to approximately 1200 nm. If the IR is permitted to enter the array, the array responds to the IR, and generates an output image signal. Since one purpose of an imaging system is to create a representation of visible light, the IR introduces a false response and distorts the image produced by the imaging system. In a monochrome (black and white) imaging system, the result can be an obviously distorted rendition. For example, foliage and human skin tones may appear unusually light. In a color imaging system, the introduction of IR distorts the coloration and produces an image with incorrect color.
  • a common method for preventing IR based anomalies in imaging systems uses ionically colored glass or a thin-film optical coating on glass to create an optical element which passes visible light (typically from 380 nm to 780nm) and blocks the IR.
  • This element can be placed in front of the lens system, located within the lens system, or it can be incorporated into the imaging system package.
  • the principal disadvantages to this approach are cost and added system complexity.
  • Thin film coatings can be implemented at somewhat lower cost, but suffer from the additional disadvantages of exhibiting a spectral shift as a function of angle. Thus, in an imaging system these elements do not provide a uniform transmittance characteristic from the center of the image field to the edge.
  • Both filter types add to the system complexity by introducing an extra piece-part which must be assembled into the imaging system.
  • Digital imaging systems generally correct for what is called dark current. Dark current is what is detected by the imaging system when in fact no input image has been received. Generally dark current is isolated and subtracted either during a calibration process of the camera or on an ongoing basis. Mechanical shutters may be used to block off the optical system in between frames to provide a continuing indicia of dark current noise. This may be valuable because dark current is a strong function of temperature. Thus, it may be desirable to have a continuing indication of present dark current conditions. Dark current may also be continuously determined by providing certain pixels which are shielded from light to provide an indication of on-going dark current conditions.
  • an imaging system includes a shutter that is selectively tunable in a first state to pass at radiation in the visible spectrum. In a second state, the shutter substantially blocks light in the visible spectrum while passing infrared radiation. A subtractor subtracts signals indicative of the radiation passed in the first and second states.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the transmittance characteristics for conventional red, green, and blue CFA filters.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the transmittance characteristics of an IR pass filter comprising red and blue CFA filters.
  • Figure 3 is a simplified cross-section view of a pixel circuit with red and blue CFA filters deposited over the pixel circuit.
  • Figure 4 is a simplified, high-level circuit of a differencing circuit for correcting the IR signal in the image signal.
  • Figure 5-7 illustrate tiling patterns for color sensor arrays.
  • Figure 8 illustrates a tiling pattern for a monochrome sensor array.
  • Figure 9 is a schematic depiction of a camera using a color shutter.
  • Figure 10 is a block diagram showing the components which form the infrared subtraction circuit shown in Figure 9.
  • Figure 11 is a flow chart showing the process of deriving infrared and three color information, using for example, the hardware shown in Figures 9 and 10.
  • the effect of IR upon an image signal is substantially reduced by electronically subtracting signals generated by IR pixel sensors from signals generated by pixel sensors responsive to both IR and visible light.
  • the IR pixel sensors are sensitive to the IR incident upon the array comprising the sensors, and provide the IR component of the image separately from the color channels (e.g., RGB).
  • the IR sensors can be created using the existing commercial Color Filter Array (CFA) materials, taking advantage of the fact that these materials are transparent to IR radiation.
  • CFA Color Filter Array
  • each of the two filters has a visible radiation pass spectrum that is disjoint from the other, so that there is substantially no transmittance of visible light through the resulting composite filter formed from the combination of the two filters. If more than two filters are used, then each filter has a visible radiation pass spectrum such that the resulting composite filter is substantially opaque to visible light.
  • This composite filter element is thus an IR pass filter, because each of the component filters used to form the composite filter is substantially transparent to IR.
  • Figure 1 shows the transmittance characteristics for conventional red, green, and blue CFA (pigmented acrylate) filters. Note that each filter is substantially transparent to IR. By overlaying red and blue CFA filters, the resulting transmittance of the composite IR pass filter is indicated in Figure 2, which shows that the visible spectrum is substantially blocked.
  • CFA pigment acrylate
  • the IR pass filter is used to create an IR sensitive pixel, or IR pixel sensor, by depositing the constituent filters making up the IR pass filter over a pixel circuit. This deposition can be accomplished by photolithographic techniques well known to the semiconductor industry.
  • a pixel circuit is any circuit which absorbs radiation and provides a signal indicative of the absorbed radiation.
  • the pixel circuit may comprise a photodiode, where photons absorbed by the photodiode generate electron-hole pairs, along with additional circuits to provide an electrical signal, either a voltage or current signal, indicative of the number of photons absorbed by the photodiode.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a simplified cross-sectional view of an IR pixel sensor 300, comprising pixel circuit 310 with red CFA 320 and blue CFA 330 deposited over pixel circuit 310. Photons in the visible region, incident upon the pixel circuit as pictorially indicated by direction 340, are substantially blocked or prevented from being absorbed by pixel circuit 310.
  • One embodiment uses an imaging array with four types of pixel sensors: three color (e.g., RGB) types and one IR type, all fabricated with commercially available CFA materials. This provides four channels, or four types of signals, as indicated in Table 1, where the spectrum measured for each channel or pixel type is indicated.
  • RGB color
  • IR IR
  • Table 1 Spectra for four output channels Output Channels Spectrum
  • the IR component of the image signal can be subtracted from the image to give IR corrected color outputs. This is indicated by a high-level circuit as shown in Figure 4, where the IR signal on channel 4 is subtracted from each of the signals on channels 1-3 by multiplexer (MUX) 410 and differencing circuit 420.
  • MUX 410 is not needed if three differencing circuits are available to perform subtraction of the IR signal for each color channel.
  • tiling patterns for color images are indicated in Figures 5-7, and a tiling pattern for a monochrome image is indicated in Figure 8, where W denotes a pixel sensor sensitive to the entire visible spectrum.
  • Each pattern shown in Figures 5-8 may be considered a unit cell. Unit cells are repeated in a regular fashion throughout an imaging array.
  • pixel sensors labeled R, G, and B indicate pixel sensors utilizing, respectively, red, green, and blue CFA filters.
  • pixel sensors labeled IR (R+B) are IR pixel sensors in which the composite IR pass filter comprises red and blue CFA filters. The pixel sensors need not actually be in physical contact with each other.
  • the pixel circuits making up a pixel sensor are typically electrically isolated from other pixel circuits. It is to be understood that a first pixel sensor is said to be contiguous to a second pixel sensor if and only if there are no intervening pixel sensors between the first and second pixels.
  • the upper left pixel sensor R is contiguous to the lower left pixel sensor G, the upper pixel sensor G, and the pixel sensor B, but it is not contiguous to the lower right pixel sensor G and the IR pixel sensor.
  • Two pixel sensors may be contiguous without actually physically touching each other.
  • the IR component of an imaged scene may not be in sharp focus. This is actually an advantage to the embodiments disclosed here because it implies that it is not necessary to sample the IR component with high spatial frequency. This is reflected in the tiling patterns indicated by Figures 7 and 8 for color and monochrome imagers, respectively.
  • An imaging array with IR pixel sensors may be used in a second mode as an IR imaging array, where only the signals from the IR pixel sensors are utilized to form an IR image.
  • imaging arrays made according to the embodiments disclosed here may be configured as dual mode imaging arrays, providing either an IR corrected visible image or an IR image.
  • Embodiments with other color system may be realized, such as cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY) systems and magenta, white, and yellow (MWY) systems.
  • CMY magenta and yellow
  • MWY magenta, white, and yellow
  • a digital imaging system 910 shown in Figure 9, may be used in connection with a digital camera which may provide stills and motion picture video.
  • the imaging system 910 may be used in other applications that use digital image sensors such as scanners and the like.
  • a liquid crystal color shutter 912 is positioned in front of a lens system 914 and an image sensor 916.
  • the image sensor 916 may be a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor which uses either an active pixel sensor (APS), a passive pixel sensor (PPS) system or other known techniques. Alternatively, a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor may be used.
  • CMOS complementary metal oxide semiconductor
  • APS active pixel sensor
  • PPS passive pixel sensor
  • CCD charge coupled device
  • the color shutter 912 provides electronically alterable transmission spectra in different color bands, such as the red, green and blue (RGB) or cyan, magenta, yellow (CMY) primary color bands.
  • RGB red, green and blue
  • CML cyan, magenta, yellow
  • KALA filter available from the KALA filter
  • the shutter 912 is synchronously switched to successively provide color information in each of the desired bands.
  • the KALA filter switches between an additive primary color (RGB) and a complementary subtractive primary color (CMY). Input white light is converted to orthogonally polarized complementary colors.
  • a color shutter is electronically switchable between transmission spectra centered in each of a plurality of additive color planes such as the red, green and blue (RGB) primary color planes. The color shutter may be sequentially switched to provide three color planes that are combined to create a three color representation of an image.
  • the use of color shutters in imaging systems may advantageously allow each pixel image sensor to successively respond to each of three color bands. Otherwise, separate pixel image sensors must be interspersed in the array for each of the necessary color bands. Then, the missing information for each pixel site, for the remaining two color planes, is deduced using interpolation techniques. With the color shutter, every pixel can detect each of three color bands, which should increase color definition without interpolation.
  • the image sensor 916 is coupled to an image processor 918 which processes the information from the image sensor 916 and provides an output in a desired form.
  • the image processor 918 includes an infrared subtraction circuit 920.
  • the circuit 920 uses a subtraction process to eliminate the infrared component from each of the color band signals synchronously provided by the color shutter 912. More particularly, the color shutter 912 may provide a series of light images in each of the desired color planes which activate pixels in the sensor 916 to produce intensity signals conveyed to the image processor 918.
  • the subtraction process can also be implemented in software.
  • the subtraction could be accomplished in a separate computer (not shown).
  • the computer can be tethered to the camera.
  • the information from the sensor 916 is then separated into four signals.
  • the intensity signals provided by the sensor 916 include an infrared component with each of the color band signals.
  • a red color signal 1024, a green color signal 1026, and blue color signal 1028 are produced, each with associated infrared components.
  • the shutter 912 produces a black signal 1030 which is substantially absent any color information and therefore only contains the infrared radiation information.
  • the black signal 1030 (which contains only information about the infrared radiation present on the shutter 12) may be subtracted in subtractor 1032 from each of the signals 1024 to 1028 to produce the signals 1034 to 1038 which are free of the infrared component.
  • the infrared component may be made available at line 1040. The infrared component may be useful in a number of low light situations including night cameras, surveillance operations and three dimensional imaging applications.
  • the process for capturing color information in the image processor 918 begins at block 1144. Initially, a color shutter 912 is set to black and a frame is acquired (as indicated in block 1146) to provide the infrared reference signal. Next the shutter is set to red (as indicated in block 1148) and a frame is acquired which includes the red information together with an infrared component (as indicated in block 1150). Similarly the green and blue information is acquired as indicated in blocks 1152 to 1158.
  • the red, green and blue color planes are derived by subtracting the infrared reference acquired at block 1146 from the red, green and blue frames acquired in blocks 1150, 1154 and 1158.
  • a RGB color plane information may be outputted (as indicated in block 1166) free of the infrared component.
  • the embodiments described above are also useful in compensating for dark current.
  • Each embodiment produces color bands which are substantially free of both reference IR radiation effects and dark current.
  • the IR reference signal 1146 includes dark current noise (without color information). Thus, when the IR reference or black frame is subtracted out, both the IR and dark current noise are eliminated. This is accomplished at the same time as the IR noise is removed, without requiring mechanical shutters or shielded pixels. Since the dark current is continuously subtracted out, the effect of current temperature on dark current is always taken into consideration.

Abstract

Un système d'imagerie utilisant un obturateur couleur reçoit des signaux indicatifs d'informations de couleur dans une pluralité de plans ainsi que des informations infrarouges et un signal indicatif du rayonnement infrarouge seul. Le signal de rayonnement infrarouge peut être soustrait des signaux associés aux plans de couleur pour développer des signaux exempts d'effets du rayonnement infrarouge pour chacun des plans de couleur voulus. De plus, un signal infrarouge est disponible lequel peut avoir des applications utiles dans certaines situations. Ainsi, on peut obtenir des bandes chromatiques d'informations de couleur sans filtre à infrarouge et les informations infrarouges sont retenues pour être utilisées dans d'autres applications si désiré. De plus, des informations infrarouges et de courant d'obscurité peuvent être dérivées et utilisées pour la correction du courant d'obscurité.
