Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for exposure control of a camera with a non-linear characteristic.
- WO 2005/018225 Al describes a Be ⁇ clearing control for automotive cameras, in which the new exposure value is simply calculated. In the classic sense, this is also not a regulation that tries to set the actual value compared to the setpoint to a minimum deviation, but the characteristic curve is calculated so that the actual value comes to lie exactly on the setpoint.
- the slope of the new characteristic as the ratio of Solltruckhel ⁇ ltechnik and the current brightness is multiplied by the slope of the current curve. This method is applicable to linear or linearized characteristics.
- a disadvantage of such a method is that a low dynamic range can be represented. Furthermore, linearization is generally not always possible or requires at least additional computational effort.
- a method for exposure control of a camera having at least one image sensor with an adjustable first non-linear characteristic wherein in this image sensor a non-linear image brightness setpoint for a scene brightness is set and a first non-linear characteristic is set according to the predetermined non-linear image brightness setpoint, wherein when changing a first Scenario brightness is calculated on a second scene brightness a second characteristic curve, wherein the characteristics of at least a first and a second linear section each having a different pitch, wherein the ratios of the slopes of the linear sections of the characteristic curves are constant, wherein between the linear sections of Characteristics Kink points are located, which have the same ordinate value in the characteristic curves, wherein the slope of the second linear section of the second characteristic curve from the slope de s second linear portion of the first characteristic, the nonlinear setpoint, a nonlinear image brightness actual value of the first characteristic after the change of the scene brightness and an ordinate intersection, and wherein the second characteristic is calculated such that the second nonlinear
- An advantage of the method according to the invention is that it is possible to control this to a non-linear desired value, as a result of which a higher dynamic range can be mapped. Furthermore, this method is faster to perform in the present case, as can be expected directly with the non-linear characteristic and thus no linearization of the characteristic must be made in order to then apply a method according to the prior art can.
- the specification of the nonlinear setpoint value is advantageous in this case, since the measured values for this are available directly.
- the setpoint in linear space does not match the setpoint in non-linear space for all characteristics, so in this case, depending on the characteristic curve, a non-constant setpoint would be regulated.
- the scene brightness is preferably an average of brightness distributions.
- the non-linear Schmhellig ⁇ keitssollwert is constant.
- the same image brightness is always set, whereby a reliable detection of the environment is ensured by the camera.
- the characteristic curves have an equally large predetermined offset on the ordinate.
- the first characteristic is set such that the non-linear image brightness target value is in the second linear portion of the first non-linear characteristic.
- a new non-linear characteristic is calculated, wherein the non-linear image brightness setpoint is again in the second linear section of the second non-linear characteristic due to the specified conditions of the characteristic curves. .
- the slopes continue to decrease from section to section, according to which the following applies: al> a2> a3 and bl> b2> b3.
- an exposure control apparatus for a camera having at least one image sensor having an adjustable first nonlinear characteristic, the exposure control apparatus configured to set a nonlinear image brightness setpoint for scene brightness and set a first nonlinear characteristic according to the predetermined nonlinear image brightness setpoint a change of a first scene brightness to a second scene brightness a second characteristic curve is calculated, wherein the characteristic curves of at least a first and a second linear section each having a different pitch, wherein the ratios of the slopes of the linear sections of the characteristic curves are constant, between the linear sections of the characteristic curves are kink points which have the same ordinate value in the characteristic curves, wherein the slope of the second linear Section of the second characteristic curve from the slope of the second linear section of the first characteristic curve, the nonlinear nominal value value, a non-linear Schmharia- ascertained after the change in the scene brightness to the scene brightness and the ordinate intersection, and
- the second characteristic is calculated such that the second non-linear image brightness actual value coincides with the predetermined non-linear image brightness target value.
- the exposure control device may include a microcontroller or processor, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and the like, as well as software to perform the appropriate control. Include evaluation steps.
- DSP Digital Signal Processor
- ASIC Application Specific Integrated Circuit

- a new characteristic curve Kb can be set according to a method known from the prior art, so that the linear actual value YLin b, i st, 2 again coincides with the setpoint value YLin, soii.
- the non-linear actual value YNL b, i st, 2 can deviate significantly from the non-linear desired value Y NL , SO II. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a much too low image brightness would thus be set.
- the two nonlinear characteristic curves Ka, Kb are composed of two linear sections Kai, Ka2 and Kbl, Kb2 in each case.
- the two second linear sections Ka2, Kb2 have a common intersection c with the ordinate.
- the two characteristics Ka and Kb have an equal offset Y0 on the ordinate. It would also be characteristic curves with three or more linear sections conceivable.
- the nonlinear nominal value YNL, S O II for the new scene brightness X2 lies in the second linear section Ka2 of the first nonlinear characteristic Ka.
- the non-linear target value YNL, S O II, and thus the nonlinear actual value Y NL b is, 2 of the second characteristic Kb for the scene brightness X2 in the second linear portion Kb2 of the second nonlinear characteristic Kb.
