Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of illumination devices and methods for camera applications, such as for illuminating a field of view of a camera for surveillance or observation purposes.
  • Camera observation is omnipresent, and is more and more being used for surveillance of traffic, crowds, and security-relevant industry sites.
  • the cameras are equipped with near-infrared illuminators, to be able to observe during nighttime or other low light level conditions as well.
  • near-infrared illuminators to be able to observe during nighttime or other low light level conditions as well.
  • Usually light between 760 and 940 nm is used, since the human eye is hardly or not at all sensitive to light at this wavelength, whereas silicon, of which the light-sensitive camera pixels are made, still has sufficient quantum efficiency.
  • the camera is directly equipped with near-infrared (NIR) illuminators (which are often based on light emitting diodes (LEDs), and in other cases (halogen) lamps are installed on light poles around the observation area.
  • NIR near-infrared
  • LEDs light emitting diodes
  • halogen halogen
  • Illuminators especially when mounted close to the camera, illuminate the field of view (FOV) of the camera.
  • the illuminator itself radiates uniformly or almost uniformly into the scene. Due to spreading of the light beam (in connection with the FOV), the light of the illuminator is spread over a larger area, the larger the travel distance. As a result, the radiance of the objects illuminated by the illuminator decreases, and hence objects at a larger distance will appear darker in the camera image. For example, in case of a front-lid camera, objects that are close to the camera appear much brighter in the picture.
  • a small diaphragm is required to avoid over-exposure, which is disadvantageous in that sensitivity to light of the camera is not fully exploited, thus spilling light of the illuminator and rendering sub-optimal images, in which the background or other objects located further away from the camera are not visible.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram indicating actual light levels of a conventional illuminator 310 on ground 300 over a distance of 100 m from the illuminator 310.
  • lux light intensity
  • the relationship is expressed by an inverse square law. The ratio from 100 m to 10 m is thus 100: 1.
  • the illustration in Fig. 1 is for a white light because infrared light cannot be measured in lux. The effect of this law though, affects infrared light in exactly the same way.
  • the array is adapted so that the density or aperture or both of the radiation elements changes in at least one portion of the array, or the emission power of individual ones or clusters of the radiation elements is controlled based on the output image and/or the diaphragm settings of the camera device so as to provide an adapted distribution of radiation.
  • Light distribution of the array can thereby be configured so that less light is sent to brighter objects close to the camera.
  • the diaphragm of the camera can be kept maximally open during every image capture, ensuring that the sensitivity of the camera is always fully used, and no light and thus electrical energy is spoiled.
  • the array may be divided into different zones arranged one after the other along a dimension of the array, wherein each zone has a different density of the radiation elements so that the density decreases or increases in a stepwise manner along said dimension of the array.
  • the radiation power projected on the illuminated area can be stepwise increased or decreased, respectively, along the projection of the dimension.
  • the array may be divided into different zones arranged one after the other along a dimension of the array, wherein each zone has radiation elements with a different aperture size, so that the aperture size decreases or increases in a stepwise manner along the dimension of the array. Similar to the first aspect, the radiation power projected on the illuminated area can be stepwise increased or decreased, respectively, along the projection of the dimension.
  • the array may be provided in an illumination device, wherein a lens may be arranged in front of the array and adapted to project the radiation of the radiation elements to predetermined angles, e.g, of an area to be illuminated.
  • the illumination device can be enhanced to provided an adapted illumination characteristic.
  • the illumination device may comprise a switched transistor matrix for controlling current supplied to the radiation elements of the array.
  • the switched matrix allows an individual voltage-based control of the current flowing through each of the radiation elements and thus the radiation output power of each radiation element.
  • three-dimensional information of a scene of the field of view may be derived from a matrix of controlled currents supplied to the radiation elements.
  • the emission power of the radiation elements may be adjusted so that bright areas of the field of view of the associated camera device receive less radiation power and dark areas of the field of view receive more radiation power, if the diaphragm settings indicate that the diaphragm of the camera device is not fully open. Thereby, it can be ensured that the field of view is illuminated in a manner so that the camera diaphragm can be kept fully open while overexposure is prevented.
  • the above array of radiation elements can be implemented as an integrated or monolithic chip or chip module or chip-set which may be distributed or supplied separately so as to be integrated into various types of illumination devices.

  • the software routine or program may comprise program code (i.e. code means) for producing the steps of method claim 11 when run on the computer or signal processing device.

In this way, more light can be sent to background regions of an illuminated area (e.g., field of view of the camera), illuminating the background strongly for a more even brightness in the whole image. By proper adaption of the light distribution of the array less light is sent to objects close to the camera.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'éclairage et un procédé d'éclairage d'un champ de vision prédéterminé, une matrice (100) d'éléments rayonnants corrigeant les irrégularités de la luminosité apparente d'un objet dans l'image d'une caméra en réalisant une distribution adaptée du rayonnement en direction du champ de vision. Cela est réalisé en augmentant ou en diminuant la densité et/ou l'ouverture des éléments rayonnants dans certaines parties de la matrice ou en commandant la puissance d'émission des éléments rayonnants individuels ou les grappes de ceux-ci. Une construction appropriée d'une lentille (200) à l'avant de la matrice (100) permet de garantir que le rayonnement de ces éléments rayonnants est projeté à des angles qui pénètrent plus loin dans la scène et donne ainsi lieu à une image de caméra ayant une luminosité constante.
