实践的过程证明第一种身份识别方式的安全性较低,其原因在于,任何人都可以将正确的密码输入到电子设备,此时,电子设备会认为密码的输入者为合法的用户,这就直接导致了电子设备的控制权被该输入者取得。相对来说,第二种通过采集用户的生物特征的方式来进行用户的身份识别在安全性方面有很大的提升。
现有技术的采集用户的生物特征(如指纹图像)的技术有半导体芯片技术和光学成像技术,这两种技术各有优缺点。
现有技术的半导体芯片技术制成的指纹采集器的抗静电和抗腐蚀能力较差,这导致指纹采集器在使用的过程中的稳定性不足,尤其是当该输入者的指端有汗液分泌时,指纹采集器就无法采集到指纹图像。一个典型的示例是容易出手汗的该输入者在使用指纹采集器时的流畅性较差,严重地影响了指纹采集器的用户体验。
现有技术的光学成像技术制成的指纹采集器的原理是光线的全发射。指纹采集器必要的构件包括图像传感器、棱镜、透镜和光源等,棱镜和透镜设置于图像传感器的感光路径上,并且在棱镜和透镜的上部设有图像采集区。在指纹采集器被用于采集该输入者的指纹图像时,该输入者将指端放置于图像采集区,光线产生的光线会照射到该输入者的位于图像采集区的指端,并且光线被指端反射,因为该输入者的指端的指纹的存在,使得指端的不同位置反射的光量不同,从而,被该输入者的指端反射的光线在透过棱镜和透镜之后,被图像传感器接收,以完成对该输入者的指端的指纹图形的采集。
尽管现有技术的光学成像技术的稳定性和精确性优于半导体芯片技术,但是利用光学成像技术制成的指纹采集器因为棱镜、透镜等光学镜片的存在,使得指纹采集器的高度和宽度都比较大,进而导致光学成像技术无法被应用于追求轻薄化的电子设备中。
另外,在医学方面,内窥镜使用的光学成像技术与电子设备的光学成像技术类似。具体地说,内窥镜因为设有透镜等光学镜片使得其体积无法被继续缩小。目前,在一些疾病的诊断和治疗过程中,内窥镜因为尺寸的限制而无法被应用。因此,如何缩小内窥镜的尺寸也成为了亟需解决的问题。

具体实施方式
以下描述用于揭露本发明以使本领域技术人员能够实现本发明。以下描述中的优选实施例只作为举例,本领域技术人员可以想到其他显而易见的变型。在以下描述中界定的本发明的基本原理可以应用于其他实施方案、变形方案、改进方案、等同方案以及没有背离本发明的精神和范围的其他技术方案。
在现代社会中,很多行业和领域都采用指纹识别设备采集人的指纹进行识别,在指纹采集比对过程中,指纹图像的读取(或指纹图像的采集)非常重要,这是由于指纹识别设备对指纹的清晰度等要求较高,所以指纹取像的准确性非常重要。
本发明提供的光学成像系统,主要是涉及利用小孔成像原理建立的超薄指纹识别及内窥镜等微型光学成像系统,包括一光学系统和一传感系统,其中所述光学系统包括一光学成像系统和一照明系统,将以上系统按照小孔成像原理进行组合后得到可供一处理终端判定的像即可,其可以作为指纹图像采集装置,安装于小型仪器设备中制作成指纹识别设备,给指纹识别设备终端提供准确的指纹图像,供其识别判定;也可以作为一种成像装置安装于内窥镜等其他医疗仪器设备中供临床使用,也可以安装于其他微型电子设备中。
如图1和图4所示,一种光学成像系统10,包括一成像装置11、一识别载体12、一光源13和一图像感应装置14,其中所述成像装置11位于所述识别载体12具有的一腔室120中,所述图像感应装置14包括一图像传感器141,其中所述图像传感器141位于所述成像装置11具有的一暗室110内部,且所述图像传感器141与所述通孔1111保持一适当间距,所述光源13安装于所述暗室110 外部。
进一步地,所述暗室110通过一暗室壳体111形成,其中所述暗室壳体111具有一通孔1111,所述暗室110通过所述通孔1111与所述腔室120相连通,所述识别载体12具有一物方识别区域121,所述物方识别区域121与所述暗室壳体111相间隔地设置,所述光源13发射光线射向所述物方识别区域121,所述物方识别区域121反射光线,根据小孔成像原理,光沿直线传播,所述物方识别区域121的识别对象得以通过所述通孔1111投影到所述图像传感器141,然后通过连接于所述图像传感器141的一终端设备进行判定。
优选地,所述暗室壳体111可以一体地形成,也可以通过几个侧壁相连接后形成所述暗室110。
值得一提的是,所述物方识别区域121和所述图像传感器141分别安装于所述小孔111的相对的两侧并和所述小孔111保持一间距,且与所述小孔111相对应,其组成了小孔成像系统,所有所述光源13构成所述照明系统,提供光源给所述物方识别区域121。
所述物方识别区域121和所述图像传感器141位于所述通孔1111相对的两侧,均与所述通孔1111保持一间距,其中所述间距大于零,分别作为物距和像距。
所述识别载体12的侧壁122与所述暗室壳体111之间具有间距,以形成所述腔室120,即所述腔室120包括所述物方识别区域121、所述侧壁122与所述暗室壳体111之间的所有区域。
所述图像感应装置14进一步包括一电路板142,其中所述电路板142电连接于所述传感器141,优选地,所述电路板142连接于所述暗室壳体111的底壁,另外,所述电路板142也可以作为所述暗室壳体111的底壁。
值得一提的是,所述暗室壳体111的制造材料为不透光材料,能够得以阻挡或者吸收光线,防止位于所述暗室壳体111外部的所述光源13发出的光线进入所述暗室110。此外,可以选用任意材料来制造所述暗室壳体111,只是在使用的时候,在其外部贴一层不透光的薄纸或者涂覆一层不透光的或能够吸光的材料,使其得以吸收或者阻挡光线。这样做的好处是,使得位于所述暗室110中的所述图像传感器141只接收通过所述物方识别区域121反射的光线,以保证采集图像的准确性。
进一步地,所述识别载体12的侧壁122和底壁123也可以通过相应的板材来密封,所述光源13则得以安装于所述侧壁122和/或所述底壁123的一个或多个位置,所述光源13也可以安装于所述暗室壳体111外部,以发射光线射向所述物方识别区域121。例如,在本优选实施例中,所述光源13安装于所述侧壁122和所述底壁123上。总之,所述光源13发出的光线只要能射向所述物方识别区域121,同时不会直接通过所述通孔111进入所述暗室110即可。
换句话说,所述光源13发射的光线不能进入所述暗室110,即使所述光源13发射的光线射向所述暗室110周围的壁,即所述暗室壳体111,也需要被所述暗室壳体111所阻挡或吸收,值得注意的是,安装所述光源13的时候,要注意避免其光线射入所述通孔1111,得以使所述通孔1111只能接收所述物方识别区域121反射的光线。
在本实施例中,所述电路板142可以选择FPC板(柔性电路板)。
进一步地,当所述暗室壳体111通过相应的板材来连接形成时,形成所述暗室壳体111的侧壁可以自由移动,得以调节所述暗室壳体111的通孔壁(即为设有所述通孔1111的壁)与所述图像传感器141之间的距离,使用者可以根据实际使用环境及成像要求来改变所述通孔1111与所述图像传感器141之间的距离,即相当于可以改变像距,使得像距可以自由调节,增加了所述成像装置的应用范围。
值得一提的是,所述物方识别区域121的面积大小根据实际使用情况来决定,即根据识别对象的大小来决定,且其应采用透明材料来制作。例如,当将其应用于指纹识别设备中时,可以由人体指纹所需感应识别的面积决定,进行指纹识别时,在其上放置指头以采集指纹,所以要求所述物方识别区域121的制作材料要有较高的透过率,因此可以选用透明的各类无机或有机材料来制作,其可以做到尽量薄,但要求其在厚度较薄的状态下仍然有一定的强度,以使其能够承受指纹识别时手指按压所施加的力。
所述暗室壳体111可以选用穿透率接近于零的无机或有机材料所制作的较薄的平板,即光线无法从所述暗室壳体111穿过,优选地,所述通孔1111所处的通孔壁的内壁的厚度不应超过所述通孔1111的孔径的二分之一。
所述光源13为可同时或单独发射紫外、红外、可见光等波段的光,其发光特性由系统所需达到的解像力和所述图像传感器141的类型决定;所述图像传感 器141为可感应紫外、红外、可见光等波段光的传感器,其尺寸类型由指纹感应面积及小孔成像系统的尺寸决定。
换句话说,所述暗室壳体111和所述图像感应装置14组成一小孔模组,所述小孔模组可以应用于小孔光学成像系统,其中所述暗室壳体111采用不透光材料制作,得以阻挡所述光源13发射的光线直接射向所述图像传感器141,进而得以阻止所述物方识别区域121反射的光线通过所述通孔1111以外的地方射向所述图像传感器141,进而使光线只通过所述通孔1111进入所述图像传感器141。
进一步地,当将所述光源13与所述小孔模组进行适当组合,则可形成一小孔成像模组,得以成像。具体地,将所述光源13设于所述小孔成像模组之外,使得其所发射的光线射向一物方,在本优选实施例中,所述物方为所述物方识别区域121,所述物方反射光线,通过小孔成像原理,反射光线则直接进入所述暗室110,进而投影到所述图像传感器141,通过连接终端设备,得以获得所述物方的像,例如本优选实施例中的指纹图像。
值得一提的是,所述光源13可以电连接于所述电路板142,进而通过所述电路板142来供电,此外,当本发明提供的光学成像系统应用于电子产品等设备中时,所述光源13可以使用设备自带的光源,也可以将所述光源13连接于设备中的供电系统。
图2为对图1所述的光学成像系统的一种变形实施,在本变形实施例中,所述光学成像系统10A包括一成像装置11A,一识别载体12A、一光源13A和一图像感应装置14A,其中所述成像装置11A具有一通孔1111A,设置所述通孔111A的壁成为通孔壁,其中所述图像感应装置14A包括一图像传感器141A和一电路板142A,安装于所述成像装置11A具有的一暗室110A中,其中所述暗室110通过一暗室壳体111A来形成,其中形成所述识别载体12A的侧壁122A可以作为所述暗室壳体111A的两侧壁,即所述成像装置11A和所述识别载体12A共用侧壁,所述成像装置12A具有的一腔室120A则位于所述成像装置12A包括的一物方识别区域12A与所述通孔壁之间的区域。
所述光源13A安装于所述暗室壳体111A具有的所述通孔壁上,得以使所述光源13A发射光线射向所述物方识别区域121A,所述物方识别区域121A反射光线,穿过所述通孔1111A,进入到所述暗室110A,将所述物方识别区域121A的图像投影到所述图像传感器141A,进而传递给一终端设备进行判定。
图3所示为根据本发明提供的光学成像系统的小孔光学成像的光路结构20的示意图,使用时,将识别对象放置于所述物方识别区域121,其中所述物方识别区域121反射光线,其中反射光线沿直线传播穿过所述通孔1111,传播到所述图像传感器141,将识别对象投影到所述图像传感器141上,再供仪器终端进行判定。
具体地说,如图3所示,根据上述的光学成像系统可知,所述物方识别区域121作为物方201,进行图像判定时,所述物方识别区域121作为感应面,以形成识别对象,将位于所述感应面的识别对象作为物高U,所述图像传感器141作为像方205,其中像高为V,所述通孔1111设于所述暗室壳体111的通孔壁上,位于所述物方201和所述像方205之间,且所述小孔的孔径为Φ。所述物方识别区域121到所述通孔壁的距离即为所述物方201(或感应面)到所述通孔1111的距离202,称为物距W,所述图像传感器141到所述通孔壁的距离即为所述像方205到所述通孔1111的距离204,称为像距X。
在工作过程中,由所述光源13发出的发射光线206射向所述物方识别区域121,所述物方识别区域121形成有识别对象,对光线进行反射,由于所述暗室壳体111的不透光性,所以经所述物方识别区域121反射的反射光线207只能通过所述通孔1111才能传播到所述图像传感器141,其它的反射光线则被所述通孔1111所处的所述暗室壳体111吸收或阻挡,也就是说,所述图像传感器141只能接收由所述物方201反射的穿过所述通孔1111的反射光线207,不能接收没有射向所述通孔1111的光线,即不能接收所述光源13直接发射的光线以及射向所述通孔1111之外的所述反射光线207,换句话说,除了直接通过所述通孔1111的所述反射光线207可以传播到所述图像传感器141外,其它的光线则不能传播到所述图像传感器141,即所述光源203射向所述成像装置11的光线,以及由所述物方201发射的射向所述通孔1111之外的反射光线均被所述暗室壳体111所吸收或遮挡。
如图5所示,根据本发明提供的光学成像系统,可以得出指纹识别光学成像系统的成像方法为:由所述光源13发射一束发射光线206,所述发射光线206射向所述物方识别区域121,所述物方识别区域121进行反射得到反射光线207,所述反射光线207通过所述通孔1111传播到所述图像传感器141,所述图像传感器141感应到所述反射光线207,所述物方识别区域121的指纹图像得以投影 到所述图像传感器141。本发明提供的光学成像系统仅为指纹识别设备中的取像系统,所以所述图像传感器141得以将得到的指纹图像传送给指纹识别设备终端进行相应的判定。
本发明利用小孔成像原理建立指纹识别及内窥镜等光学成像系统,结构简单,可以在保证较好解像力的前提下,减小整个指纹识别及内窥镜等光学成像系统的尺寸,便于将其置放于体积更小的仪器设备中。
在制定本发明提供的光学成像系统时,首先制定整个光学成像系统的总高,可以根据实际使用情况来制定光学成像系统的总高,也就是说,根据将光学成像系统所要嵌入的设备对于光学成像系统的大小来制定所需要的光学成像系统的总高,例如,对于电脑、手机、门禁等不同大小的指纹识别设备对于光学成像系统的需求不同,可以制定出适合不同设备的光学成像系统。
在其应用过程中,将光学成像系统设于手机或门禁中,使用的时候,将手指放置于所述物方识别区域121,所述物方识别区域121反射光线,其中所述反射光线进入到所述暗室110,将所述指纹图像投影到所述图像传感器141,供手机终端或门禁终端进行判定。
值得一提的是,当所述光学成像系统应用于手机等系统中时,可以将手机的背光系统作为光源,也可以与手机共用电路板,通过手机等其他指纹识别设备给所述光源和所述图像传感器供电,同时,只要将所述成像装置11按照距离手机屏一定的间距进行安装,换句话说,需要在手机屏或者按键位置设置一透明区域作为所述物方识别区域121,进而在所述成像装置11的所述通孔1111和所述物方识别区域之间预留出一定的间距,并且在该间距内不要放置任何能够阻挡所述物方识别区域121的反射光线进入所述通孔的部件,在本应用中,只需要将所述图像传感器141放置于手机中,且在所述图像传感器141周围设置一个所述暗室110,在形成所述暗室110的所述暗室壳体111上设置一个所述通孔1111,其中所述通孔111位于所述图像传感器141和所述物方识别区域121,根据手机大小等情况来设置所述通孔1111的孔径、所述物方识别区域121与所述通孔1111之间的距离、所述图像传感器141与所述通孔1111之间的距离即可,因此,在本应用中,不再需要所述识别载体12的侧壁122和底壁123,即可以将手机的其他部件作为所述识别载体12的侧壁122和底壁123。
此外,本发明的光学系统也可以均安装于指纹设别设备,例如,手机、电脑、 电视及门禁等,即将图1或图2中所述的包括成像装置11、识别载体12、光源13及图像感应装置作为一个整体安装于指纹识别设备来应用。
如图7所示,当将本发明提供的光学成像系统安装于内窥镜等医学器材时,将摄像平面作为物方识别区域121,将其可以识别到的图像通过本发明的成像装置11投影到所述图像传感器14,进而得以传递到内窥镜终端进行识别。通过将本发明提供的光学成像系统应用于内窥镜等医疗仪器中时,可以保证检验的准确性,同时可以缩小医疗设备的体积,增加其应用范围,也更加方便将镜头放入体内进行相应部位的检查。
本领域的技术人员可以根据本发明提供的小孔成像装置想到其他的实施和应用,均不脱离本发明。
其次,再定义出指纹识别光学成像系统所需要的感应面积,即确定出所述物高U,其中所述物高U的大小由人体指纹所需感应识别的面积决定,即所述感应面积U为所述指纹识别区域图像的面积,可以根据嵌入的不同设备的需求来定义。
值得一提的是,所述光学系统的总高包括图1所示的从所述物方识别区域121到所述识别载体12的底壁123的距离以及它们本身的厚度,这其中也包括图3所示的所述物距W和所述像距X,因此,可以根据小孔成像原理在所述光学成像系统的总高范围内定义出合适的所述物距W和所述像距X及相应公差。
在所述光学成像系统的总高确定后,并定义出合适的所述物距W和所述像距X,在保证光学成像系统有较好解像力的前提下,可以由F=Φ(W/X+1)计算出所述孔径Φ,并确定所述孔径Φ的公差,即得出了所述通孔1111的大小,其中F表示屏幕上的点所对应的被成像物的范围,决定小孔光学成像系统的解像力,计算之前,可以根据需要的解像力F来计算孔径,即F是实际需要的解像力,作为已知数。
由公式F=Φ(W/X+1)可以看出,在光学成像系统总高确定的情况下,可以调整物距W、像距X和孔径Φ来保证光学成像系统有较好的解像力,满足设备对解像力的需求。
当整个光学成像系统的总高、物高U、物距W、像距X和孔径Φ均确定后,由公式V=[UX+Φ(W+X)]/W,可以计算出像高V,由于需要在所述图像传感器141上成像,所以,所述图像传感器141的尺寸大小可以根据成像高度V来选择, 即像高V决定了所述图像传感器141的尺寸大小。
在确定物高U、物距W、像距X、孔径Φ、像高V和传感器的尺寸后,选择合适像素值及像素点大小的传感器,最终选择出规格大小、像素值及像素点大小均合适的传感器作为光学成像系统的所述图像传感器141。
然后再选择合适发光波长及光强的光源13,安装于系统内部,使得光源13在满足系统所需亮度的同时,其发光特性也要达到系统所需的解像力要求,并符合所选择的图像传感器141的类型。
最后将该光学成像系统所得到的像输入到指纹识别系统终端中作判定分析,如果终端可以分析判定此指纹,则该光学成像系统合格,如果终端无法分析判定,则继续通过小孔成像原理重新定义物距W、像距X及孔径Φ,然后重新选择传感器和光源,直至成像符合要求为止。
综上,如图4所示,利用小孔成像原理制定本发明提供的所述光学成像系统的方法包括以下步骤:
(1)开始;
(2)制定整个光学成像系统的总高;
(3)定义指纹识别系统所需感应面积;
(4)由小孔成像原理定义出小孔的大小(或孔径)Φ、小孔到感应面的距离W以及小孔到传感器的距离X及相应公差;
(5)选择合适的传感器;
(6)选择满足系统所需的光源;
(7)检验所得指纹成像是否达到指纹识别系统可判定要求,如果达到判定要求,则执行第(8)步,如果达不到判定要求,则返回第(4)步分析失败原因,重新计算,直到合格再执行第(8)步;
(8)完成。
如图8所示是根据本发明的另一个优选实施例提供的光学成像装置,其中所述光学成像装置采用小孔成像原理采集物体的图像。
具体地说,所述光学成像装置包括一图像传感器30B、一壳体40B以及一承载元件50B,所述壳体40B具有一通光孔41B和一暗腔42B,所述通光孔41B连通于所述暗腔42B和所述壳体40B的外部环境,也就是说,所述壳体40B的外部环境的光线仅可以通过所述通光孔41B进入到所述暗腔42B的内部。所述 图像传感器30B被容纳于所述暗腔42B,并且所述通光孔41B对应于所述图像传感器30B的感光面。优选地,所述通光孔41B对应于所述图像传感器30B的感光面的中心位置。所述图像传感器30B的感光面和所述壳体40B的内表面没有接触,从而在所述壳体40B和所述图像传感器30B的感光面之间形成所述光学成像装置的像距。
相应地,所述承载元件50B间隔地设置于所述壳体40B,以使所述承载元件50B和所述壳体40B没有接触,从而在所述承载元件50B和所述壳体40B之间形成所述光学成像系统的物距。所述承载元件50B的侧部形成一图像采集区域51B,所述图像采集区域51B和所述壳体40B位于所述承载元件50B的不同侧,并且所述图像采集区域51B位于所述图像传感器30B的感光路径上,在使用所述光学成像装置采集物体的图像时,被采集图像的物体需要被放置于所述图像采集区域51B。
在使用所述光学成像装置采集被放置于所述图像采集区域51B的物体的图像时,被物体反射的光线会依次穿过所述承载元件50B和所述壳体40B的所述通光孔41B,并进入到所述暗腔42B内,在后续被物体反射的光线会被所述图像传感器30B的感光面接收并进行光电转化,从而生成与被采集图像的物体相关的电信号。
本领域的技术人员可以理解,所述暗腔42B是一个黑暗的腔体,并且所述暗腔42B仅通过所述通光孔41B与所述壳体40B的外部环境相连通。也就是说,所述壳体40B的外部环境的光线仅通过所述通光孔41B进入所述暗腔42B内,以被所述图像传感器30B的感光面接收,从而,使得通过所述通光孔41B进入所述暗腔42B的光线不会被干扰,从而,保证所述光学成像装置的成像品质。
进一步地,所述光学成像装置还可以包括一光源13B,所述光源13B邻近地设置于所述壳体40B,并且所述光源13B和所述壳体40B位于所述承载元件50B的同侧。在利用所述光学成像装置采集物体的图像时,所述光源13B产生的光线能够透过所述承载元件50B直接辐射至被放置于所述图像采集区域51B的物体的表面,然后被物体的表面反射,从而被物体反射的光线在穿过所述承载元件50B和所述壳体40B的所述通光孔41B之后进入到所述暗腔42B内,并进一步被所述图像传感器30B的感光面接收。
值得一提的是,所述光源13B产生的光线不会直接穿过所述壳体40B以及 所述通光孔41B进入到所述暗腔42B内,通过这样的方式,可以保证被物体反射的光线在经过所述通光孔41B进入到所述暗腔42B内时不会被干扰,从而保证利用所述光学成像装置在采集物体的图像时的可靠性。
优选地,在本发明的一个较佳实施方式中,所述壳体40B可以由穿透率接近于零的无机或者有机材料制成。在本发明的另一个较佳实施方式中,所述壳体40B可以由任何材料制成,然后在所述壳体40B的外表面和/或内表面涂覆或贴附一层反光材料或吸光材料。通过上述的方式,所述壳体40B能够阻止所述光源13B产生的光线穿透所述壳体40B而干扰所述暗腔42B内的光线。
另外,在本发明的一个较佳的实施方式中,所述光源13B的位置低于所述壳体40B的设有所述通光孔41B的一侧所在的平面,通过这样的方式,所述光源13B产生的光线不会直接通过所述通光孔41B而进入到所述暗腔42B。在本发明的另一个较佳的实施方式中,所述光源13B也可以具有良好的光向性,从而所述光源13B产生的光线能够较为集中地辐射至所述图像采集区域51B,而不会发生扩散,从而所述光源13B产生的光线不会直接通过所述通光孔41B进入到所述暗腔42B。
换言之,在本发明的所述光学成像装置中,能够通过所述通光孔41B进入到所述暗腔42B内的光线是被物体反射的光线,从而提高所述光学成像装置的成像品质。
进一步地,所述光源13B可以包括至少一发光元件,从而在本发明的一个较佳的实施方式中,所述光源13B的每所述发光元件可以沿着所述壳体40B的外表面间隔地设置;在本发明的另一个较佳的实施方式中,所述光源13B的每所述发光元件可以沿着所述壳体40B的外表面环绕地设置,从而使所述光源13B产生的光线能够更加均匀地辐射至所述图像采集区域51B。
更进一步地,所述光源13B的每所述发光元件可以单独地或者同时产生紫外光、红外光、可见光等光线。所述光源13B的每所述发光元件的发光特征由所述光学成像装置所需要达到的解像力和所述图像传感器30B的类型决定,例如所述图像传感器30B可以感应到紫外光、红外光、可见光等光线。另外,所述图像传感器30B的尺寸由所述图像采集区域51B的尺寸和所述通光孔41B的孔径决定。
