  • Typical sensors are CCD or CMOS 2-dimensional sensor arrays found in digital cameras.
  • Line scan camera and image scanners use one-dimensional sensor array with optical lens, and also subject to optical distortions.

  • the distortion centroids can be collected three times; one for red, one for green, and one for blue in order to properly adjusted for lateral color distortion, since light wavelength does affect the degree of distortions through an optical system.
  • a checker board pattern test target with a width of 25 inches shown in FIG. 4A can be fabricated with photolithography to a good precision. Accuracy of 10 micro-inches over a width of 25 inch total width is commercially available, which will give a dimensional accuracy of 0.00004%. For a 10 mega pixel camera with a linear dimension of 2500 pixels, the checker board accuracy can be expressed as 0.1% of a pixel. As shown in FIG. 4C, the checker board test pattern does not have to be positioned exactly perpendicular to the camera. Offset angles can be calculated from the two sides a/b directly with great accuracy and the camera offset angle removed from the calibration error. There is no requirement for precision mechanical alignment in the calibration process.
  • FIG. 9 shows a greatly defocused picture of the checker board pattern as captured by a camera under calibration and a graphical method of determining the intersection between two diagonally disposed black squares 905, and 906.
  • the sensor array 900 is superimposed on the image collected.
  • Line 901 is the right side edge of block 905. This edge can be determined either by calculating for the inflection point of the white to black transition, or by calculating the mid point between the white to black transition using linear extrapolation.
  • Line 902 is the left side edge of Block 906.
  • line 901 and line 902 should coincide.
  • the key feature of the checker board pattern is that even with imperfect optical system, with imperfect iris optimization or focus optimization, with imperfection of aligning optical axis perpendicular to the calibration plate the vertical transition line can be precisely calculated as a line equal distance and parallel to line 901 and line 902.
  • line 903 is the lower side edge of the block 905, and line 904 is the upper side edge of the block 906.
  • the edge of these two black blocks, 905 and 906, can be computed as the centroid of the square formed by lines 901, 902, 903, and 904 to a very precise manner. Camera calibration accuracy of 0.025 pixel or better can be achieved.
  • optical distortion This is the level of precision needed to characterize the optical distortion of the entire image capture system.
  • the characteristics of optical distortion is a smooth varying function, so checker board patterns of 40 to 100 blocks in one linear dimension is good enough to characterize the distortion of a 10 mega pixel camera with 2500 pixels in one dimension. Test patterns similar in shape to a checker board have the similar effect. For example, diamond shaped checker board pattern also can be used.
  • the checker board pattern test target can be fabricated on a Mylar film with black and transparent blocks using the same process for printed circuit boards. This test target can be mounted in front of a calibrated illumination source as shown in FIG. 4B.
  • colorimetry on each black and white square on the checker board test pattern can be measured using precision instruments.
  • An example of such instrument is a CS-IOOA colorimeter made by Konica Minolta Corporation of Japan. Typical commercial instruments can measure brightness tolerances down to 0.2%.
  • a typical captured image may exhibit brightness gradients as shown in Fig. 5B.When compared with the luminance readings from an instrument, the brightness and contrast distortion map across the sensors can be recorded. This is a "finger print" or signature of a specific image acquisition system in a different dimension than the geometry.
  • a preferred embodiment of the present invention is to embed signature information in the video stream, and to perform adaptive image correction at the display end.
  • Fig. 2B is a block diagram illustrating this preferred embodiment.
  • the adaptive image processor 111 in the image acquisition device will embed signatures in the video stream, and an adaptive image processor 181 within a display 191 will perform the optical distortion correction.
  • Fig. 6 shows a representation of 4 pixels video data having red, green and blue contents, each having 8 bits.
  • One preferred embodiment for embedding optical distortion signatures for both geometry and/or brightness is shown in Fig. 7. Both signatures can be represented by the distortion differences with its neighbors, this method will cut down on the storage requirement.
  • the target display device By inserting optical distortion signatures as brightness information as bottom two bits, the target display device, if not capable of performing optical distortion correction, will interpret them as video data of very low intensity, and the embedded signature will not be very visible on the display device.
  • the target display device For display device capable of performing optical distortion correction, it will transform the video back to virtually no distortions in both geometry and brightness dimensions. For security application, this is significant since object recognition can be performed more accurately and faster if all video images have no distortions. If the video information is transmitted without correction, it is also very difficult to tamper with, since both geometry and brightness will be changed before display, and any data modifications on the pre-corrected data will not fit the signature of the original image acquisition device and will stand out.
  • the entire optical signature must be embedded within each picture, or have been transmitted once before as the signature of that specific camera.
  • the optical signature in its entirety does not have to be transmitted all at once. There are many ways to break up the signatures to be transmitted over several video frames. There are also many methods to encode the optical signatures to make them even more difficult to be reversed. [Video Compression before transmission]

  • the image processor 110 comprises an output pixel centroid engine 210, an adjacent output pixel engine 220, an output pixel overlay engine 230, and an output pixel content engine 240.
  • the output pixel centroid engine 210 reads out centroid locations into FIFO memories (e.g., internal to the image processor or elsewhere) corresponding to relevant lines of the input video. Only two lines plus three additional centroids need to be stored at a time, thereby further reducing memory requirements.

  • the viewing area can have a 16:9 aspect ratio with 1280 by 720 pixels or a 4:3 ratio with 640 by 480 pixels.
  • the number of actual output pixels matches that of the output resolution.
  • the number of virtual pixels matches the input resolution, i.e., the resolution of the input video frame, i.e., there is a 1:1 correspondence of virtual pixels to pixels of the input video frame.
  • at the corner of the viewing area 730 there may have several virtual pixels for every output pixel and at the center of the viewing area 730 there may be a 1:1 correspondence (or less) of virtual pixels to output pixels.
  • the spatial location and size of output pixels differs from virtual pixels in a non-linear fashion.
  • Embodiments of the invention have the virtual pixels look like the input video by mapping of the actual output pixels to the virtual pixels. This mapping is then used to resample the input video such that the display of the output pixels causes the virtual pixels to look identical to the input video pixels, i.e., to have the output video frame match the input video frame so as to view the same image.
  • FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating mapping of output pixels onto a virtual pixel grid 730 of the image 310.
  • the output pixel mapping is expressed in terms (or units) of virtual pixels.
  • the virtual pixel array 730 can be considered a conceptual grid.
  • the location of any output pixel within this grid 730 can be expressed in terms of horizontal and vertical grid coordinates.
  • mapping description is independent of relative size differences, and can be specified to any amount of precision.

  • the mapping description of the output pixel 420 can be x+12.5, y+2.5.
  • the amount of information needed to locate output pixels within the virtual grid appears large. For example, if the virtual resolution is 1280x720, approximately 24 bits is needed to fully track each output pixel centroid. But, the scheme easily lends itself to significant compaction (e.g. one method might be to fully locate the first pixel in each output line, and then locate the rest via incremental change).
  • the operation to determine pixel centroids performed by the imaging device can provide a separate guide for each pixel color. This allows for lateral color correction during the image adaptation.
  • FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating centroid input from the calibration process.
  • Centroid acquisition is performed real-time — each centroid being retrieved in a pre-calculated format from external storage, e.g., from the memory 120.
  • the engine 210 stores the centroids in a set of line buffers.
  • These line buffers also represent a continuous FIFO (with special insertions for boundary conditions), with each incoming centroid entering at the start of the first FIFO, and looping from the end of each FIFO to the start of the subsequent one.
  • the purpose of the line buffer oriented centroid FIFOs is to facilitate simple location of adjacent centroids for corner determination by the adjacent output pixel engine 220. With the addition of an extra 'corner holder' element off the end of line buffers preceding and succeeding the line being operated on, corner centroids are always found in the same FIFO locations relative to the centroid being acted upon.
  • FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an output pixel corner calculation. Embodiments of the image adaptation system and method are dependent on a few assumptions:
  • the corner points for any output pixel quadrilateral approximation can be calculated by the adjacent output pixel engine 220 on the fly as each output pixel is prepared for content. This is accomplished by locating the halfway point 610 to the centers of all diagonal output pixels, e.g., the output pixel 620.
  • the overlap with virtual pixels is established by the output pixel overlay engine 230. This in turn creates a direct (identical) overlap with the video input.
  • each upcoming output pixel's approximation corners could be calculated one or more pixel clocks ahead by the adjacent output pixel engine 220.
  • content determination can be calculated by the output pixel content engine 240 using well-established re-sampling techniques.
  • Variations in output pixel size/density across the viewing area 310 mean some regions will be up-sampled, and others down-sampled. This may require addition of filtering functions (e.g. smoothing, etc.). The filtering needed is dependent on the degree of optical distortion. The optical distortions introduced also provide some unique opportunities for improving the re-sampling. For example, in some regions of the screen 730, the output pixels will be sparse relative to the virtual pixels, while in others the relationship will be the other way around. This means that variations on the re-sampling algorithm(s) chosen are possible. The information is also present to easily calculate the actual area an output pixel covers within each virtual pixel (since the corners are known). Variations of the re-sampling algorithm(s) used could include weightings by 'virtual' pixel partial area coverage, as will be discussed further below.
  • FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating pixel sub-division overlay approximation.
  • one possible algorithm for determining content is to approximate the area covered by an output pixel across applicable virtual pixels, calculating the content value of the output pixel based on weighted values associated with each virtual pixel overlap.
  • the output pixel overlay engine In order to simplify hardware implementation, the output pixel overlay engine
  • the 230 determines overlap through finite sub-division of the virtual pixel grid 310 (e.g., into a four by four subgrid, or any other sub-division, for each virtual pixel), and approximates the area covered by an output pixel by the number of sub-divisions overlaid.
  • Overlay calculations by the output pixel overlay engine 230 can be simplified by taking advantage of some sub-sampling properties, as follows:
  • the output pixel content engine 240 determines the content of the output pixel by multiplying the content of each virtual pixel by the number of associated sub-divisions overlaid, adding the results together, and then dividing by the total number of overlaid sub-divisions.
  • the output pixel content engine 240 than outputs the content determination to a light engine for displaying the content determination.
  • FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating a method 800 of adapting for optical distortions.
  • the image processor 110 implements the method 800.
  • the image processor 110 or a plurality of image processors 110 implement a plurality of instances of the method 800 (e.g., one for each color of red, green and blue).
  • output pixel centroids are acquired (810) by reading them from memory into FIFOs (e.g., three rows maximum at a time).
  • the diagonally adjacent output pixels to an output pixel of interest are determined (820) by looking at the diagonally adjacent memory locations in the FIFOs. The halfway point between diagonally adjacent pixels and the pixel of interest is then determined (830).
  • An overlay is then determined (840) of the output pixel over virtual pixels and output pixel content determined (850) based on the overlay.
  • the determined output pixel content can then be outputted to a light engine for projection onto a display.
  • the method 800 then repeats for additional output pixel until content for all output pixels are determined (850).
  • the pixel remapping process is a single pass process. Note also that the pixel remapping process does not require information on the location of the optical axis.
  • the 16 can incorporate display geometry correction of [X+3.5,Y+1.5] on top of the image acquisition geometry correction of [X+2.5,Y+1.5], and concatenate into [X+6,Y+3].
