Description

利用数据处理终端控制数码显微镜输出图像的方法 技术领域  Method for controlling digital microscope output image by using data processing terminal
本发明涉及一种利用数据处理终端控制数码显微镜输出图像的 方法,数码显微镜根据数据处理终端发送的选定区域坐标, 向数据处 理终端仅传输选定区域的图像数据,因此可以增加向数据处理终端传 输的该选定区域的图像帧数。  The invention relates to a method for controlling an output image of a digital microscope by using a data processing terminal. The digital microscope transmits only the image data of the selected area to the data processing terminal according to the selected area coordinates sent by the data processing terminal, so that the data processing terminal can be added to the data processing terminal. The number of image frames of the selected area transmitted.
背景技术 Background technique
随着电子化的各种设备的日益成熟,数码显微镜也逐渐形成了替 代传统显微镜的趋势。现有技术的数码显微镜主要采用 USB接口将采 集到的视频图像数据传输至数据处理终端, 该数据处理终端是为如 PC等具有显示器、 USB接口和处理模块的终端, 该数据处理终端通过 USB接口与数码显微镜进行数据传输, 处理模块将通过 USB接口接收 的视频图像数据进行处理, 使显示器可播放处理后的视频影像。  With the increasing maturity of electronic devices, digital microscopes have gradually formed a trend to replace traditional microscopes. The digital microscope of the prior art mainly transmits the collected video image data to the data processing terminal by using a USB interface, and the data processing terminal is a terminal having a display, a USB interface and a processing module, such as a PC, and the data processing terminal passes through the USB interface. The data is transmitted with the digital microscope, and the processing module processes the video image data received through the USB interface, so that the display can play the processed video image.
由于受到 USB接口传输速度的限制,使得数码显微镜向数据处理 终端的图像传输受到限制, 在传输分辨率为 1280*1024的图像时, 实 际每秒只能传输 10至 15帧图像, 而每秒显示的帧数小于 24帧时, 人眼识别的视频看起来是不连续的, 在视频流畅度要求较高的情况 下, 以显示器每秒显示 30帧或以上的图像为宜。 Due to the limitation of the transmission speed of the USB interface, the image transmission of the digital microscope to the data processing terminal is limited. When transmitting an image with a resolution of 1280*1024, only 10 to 15 frames per second can be transmitted, and the display is displayed every second. when the number is less than 24 frames appear to the human eye video recognition is discontinuous, at higher video fluency claim case, the display displays 30 frames per second or more appropriate images.
由此可见,如果用户需要使用上述的数码显微镜观看流畅度较高 的视频图像,则以现有的数码显微镜或其控制方法是无法满足上述需 要的。 现有技术中已提出了一种将检测为有运动的块按照第 1 压缩率 压缩,将检测为未运动的块的图像进行高于第 1压缩率的第 2压缩率 压缩,从而可以按照比没有运动的拍摄物的 ί像信号高的画质,对运 动的拍摄物的图像信号进行压缩。其具体技术方案请参看中国专利申 请号: 200310118549. 2 , 在此不再赘述。 据上述可知, 现有技术已 可以将监视器所监视的区域进行划分,但划分区域主要用于进行分级 别压缩, 而没有用于提高部分区域的视频图像传输速率, 以增加每秒 向外部设备传输该区域的图像帧数。 It can be seen that if the user needs to view the video image with high fluency using the above-mentioned digital microscope, the above-mentioned needs cannot be satisfied by the existing digital microscope or its control method. In the prior art, it has been proposed to compress a block detected as moving at a first compression rate, and to compress an image detected as an unmoved block by a second compression ratio higher than a first compression ratio, thereby The image of the moving subject is compressed by the high image quality of the moving subject. For the specific technical solutions, please refer to the Chinese patent application number: 200310118549. 2, and will not be repeated here. According to the above, the prior art can divide the area monitored by the monitor, but the divided area is mainly used for performing level-level compression, and is not used to increase the video image transmission rate of the partial area to increase the peripheral device to the external device. The number of image frames in this area is transmitted.

上述作为背景的全部可见区域的图像也可设定为在达到一刷新 频率时刷新, 请参阅图 3所示,本发明的方法还包括在数据处理终端 或数码显微鏡预设循环采集全部可见区域图像的间隔值的步骤,以及 在步骤 104后执行的步骤 S105: 数据处理终端或数码显微镜检测是 否达到采集全部可见区域的间隔值, 如达到该间隔则进行步驟 S106 , 如未达到该间隔则进行步骤 S103; 步骤 S106、 数码显微镜获取当前 全部可见区域的图像, 并将其发送至数据处理终端,数据处理终端接 收该当前全部可见区域的图像并处理后显示输出,将该当前全部可见 区域的图像存储至存储单元中, 然后执行步骤 S105。 另外, 在上述 步骤 S112中, 在数据处理终端未检测到结束单独传输关注区域的视 频图像的指令, 则执行步骤 S105。 The image of all the visible regions as the background may also be set to refresh when a refresh rate is reached. Referring to FIG. 3, the method of the present invention further includes all the visible loops in the data processing terminal or the digital microscope. a step of the interval value of the area image, and a step S105 performed after the step 104: the data processing terminal or the digital microscope detects whether the interval value of collecting all visible areas is reached, and if the interval is reached, the step S106 is performed, and if the interval is not reached, Step S103; Step S106, the digital microscope acquires an image of all currently visible regions, and sends the image to the data processing terminal, and the data processing terminal receives the image of the current visible region and displays the output after processing, and the current display is all visible.

请参看图 4至图 6所示,图 4是作为背景的全部可见区域的图像 的示意图,图 5是将关注区域的视频图像显示于图 4所示的图像前侧 的示意图,图 6是将关注区域的视频图像显示于全部可见区域的图像 的相应位置后的示意图。 由附图可知 ,在数据处理终端不对关注区域 20的视频图像的显示位置进行匹配时, 关注区域 20的视频图像是不 与背景 10相配合而独立显示的一个区域图像, 使得用户在使用时无 法得知关注区域 20与全部可见区域 10的对应关系, 为此, 本发明的 方法还可包括: 数据处理终端按照坐标将关注区域 20的视频图像显 示在当前存储的全部可见区域 10的图像的相应位置上, 从而实现无 缝拼合,使用户可以准确掌握关注区域在全部可见区域 10中的位置, 以便于操作。  4 to FIG. 6, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an image of all visible regions as a background, and FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a video image of a region of interest displayed on the front side of the image shown in FIG. The video image of the region of interest is displayed after the corresponding position of the image of all visible regions. As can be seen from the figure, when the data processing terminal does not match the display position of the video image of the region of interest 20, the video image of the region of interest 20 is an area image that is displayed independently of the background 10, so that the user cannot use it during use. The correspondence between the region of interest 20 and the entire visible region 10 is known. To this end, the method of the present invention may further include: the data processing terminal displaying the video image of the region of interest 20 in accordance with the coordinates in the corresponding image of all visible regions 10 currently stored. Positioning, thereby achieving seamless flattening, enables the user to accurately grasp the position of the region of interest in all visible regions 10 for ease of operation.
具体而言, 关注区域的坐标是通过数据处理终端计算其在全部可 见区域中的相对位置生成的, 该坐标是相对于全部可见区域的,但由 于上述图像传感器随各个厂商、型号的不同, 均存在不同宽度的黑边Specifically, the coordinates of the region of interest are generated by the data processing terminal calculating its relative position in all visible regions, which is relative to all visible regions, but In the above image sensors, there are different widths of black borders depending on the manufacturer and model.
(如图 7所示的 Lx、 Ly ), 在这些黑边上所釆集的图像并不输出, 图 像传感器仅输出全部可见区域中的图像信号,故上述坐标无法与图像 传感器获取的全部区域(即由全部可见区域和黑边共同形成的区域) 相对应, 因此, 上述数据处理终端需要将根据全部可见区域生成的坐 标转换为相对于全部区域的坐标,即转换为图像传感器的感光阵列的 坐标,数据处理终端生成的控制指令中所包含的坐标是为该图像传感 器的感光阵列的坐标, 如图 7所示, 坐标( , 是在全部可见区 域上由可采集图像的点的数量所形成的坐标, 其转换所依据公式为: (L x , L y as shown in Fig. 7), the images collected on these black edges are not output, and the image sensor outputs only the image signals in all visible areas, so the above coordinates cannot be acquired with the image sensor. The area (ie, the area formed by the total visible area and the black side) corresponds to each other. Therefore, the data processing terminal needs to convert the coordinates generated according to the entire visible area into coordinates relative to the entire area, that is, the photosensitive array converted into the image sensor. The coordinates contained in the control command generated by the data processing terminal are the coordinates of the photosensitive array of the image sensor. As shown in Fig. 7, the coordinates ( , are the number of points that can be imaged on all visible areas. The coordinates formed are based on the formula:
^2 ― + ^2 ― +
Figure imgf000014_0001
Figure imgf000014_0001
