背景技术
在使用相机进行拍摄时,为拍摄出高质量的图像,用户通常会使用相机的最小光圈值(即最大光圈)进行拍摄。而在焦距增大的过程中,为保持最小光圈值,镜头的通光孔径也会随焦距增大。但镜头的通光孔径受到最大孔径的限制,在达到最大孔径后,若焦距继续增大,相机的最小光圈值将无法保持。
目前市面上的相机,在变焦过程中最小光圈值随焦距的变化较为激烈,从而导致变焦过程中所拍摄图像的亮度会发生突变,大大降低用户的体验。
发明内容

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
光圈值,是镜头的焦距与镜头通光孔径的比值。若光圈值用F表示,焦距用f表示,通光孔径用d表示,则光圈值的计算公式为F=f/d。可以理解的是,通常所说的最大光圈实际是对应最小光圈值,如最大光圈F2.8,其含义与最小光圈值为F2.8相同。
在大多数的拍摄场景中,用户都希望能够使用相机的最大光圈,以拍摄出质量较高的图像。但在变焦过程中,由于焦距f持续变化,光圈值F通常难以保持不变。比如对于支持1X-17.5X变焦倍率的相机,若从1X使用最小光圈值,并从1X向17.5X进行变焦,随着焦距f的持续增大,为保持光圈值F不变,镜头的通光孔径d也需要随之增大。但镜头的通光孔径d受到最大孔径的限制,在达到最大孔径后,若焦距f仍继续增大,则光圈值F也只能增大。
上述问题在浮动光圈镜头中虽然无法避免,但也有相应的调整策略。由于用户通常希望其使用的光圈值(一般使用的是最大光圈)能够维持,因此在现有的光圈值调整策略中都是侧重于使变焦过程中光圈值尽可能少的变化。可以参见图1A,图1A示出现有的光圈值调整策略中最小光圈值的变化曲线。
图1A中,位于上方的曲线表示最小光圈值随时间的变化曲线,而下方的曲线表示焦距随时间的变化曲线。结合两者可知,在现有的调整策略中,当焦距在某些特定焦段内变化时,最小光圈值可以保持不变,但相应的,当焦距在其他焦段内变化时,最小光圈值的变化斜率很大。可见,在现有的调整策略中,由于最小光圈值在变化时较为激烈,因此所拍摄图像的亮度会发生突变,影响图像质量,给用户的体验较差。可以参见图1B,图1B是在手动模式下使用现有的光圈值调整策略进行变焦时图像亮度的变化曲线。在图1B中,焦距先增大后减小,对应图像亮度先下降后上升。其中,图像亮度的变化与图1A的最小光圈值随时间的变化是相对应的,最小光圈值随焦距变化保持不变时,图像亮度也可以保持稳定,最小光圈值随焦距变化激烈变化时,图像亮度发生突变。
为解决上述问题,本申请实施例第一方面提供一种图像处理方法,可以参见图2,图2是本申请实施例第一方面提供的一种图像处理方法的流程图,该方法包括步骤:
S201:获取变焦指令;
S202:响应于变焦指令进行变焦的过程中,根据预先配置的焦距与最小光圈值的对应关系对光圈值进行调整,以消除图像亮度的突变,其中,在所述对应关系中,最小光圈值随焦距的变化而平缓变化。
本申请实施例提供的方法可以应用于变焦相机中,当然也可以应用于其他包括变焦镜头的设备,如摄像机、手机、平板、笔记本、监控设备等等。
为方便理解,可以参见图3A,图3A示出本申请实施例提供的一种示例性的光圈值调整策略中最小光圈值随焦距的变化示意图。与图1A相同,位于上方的曲线表示最小光圈值随时间的变化曲线,而下方的曲线表示焦距随时间的变化曲线。可见,最小光圈值随焦距的增大而平缓增大。
由于最小光圈值随焦距的变化是平缓的,因此所拍摄图像的亮度受光圈值的影响也是平缓的,从而不会出现亮度突变。可以参见图3B,图3B是在手动模式下使用图3A所示的光圈值调整策略进行变焦时图像亮度的变化曲线。在图3B中,与图1B相同的,焦距先增大后减小,对应图像亮度先下降后上升。可见,采用图3A所示的光圈值调整策略后,图像亮度不会发生突变,在手动模式下增大焦距时,图像亮度可以随着光圈值的增大而平缓下降。
对于最小光圈值随焦距变化而平缓变化,在实际中可以体现为多种形式。比如,在一种实施中,最小光圈值可以与焦距正相关,且最小光圈值随焦距的变化步长小于预设值。所谓正相关,表明焦距增大时,最小光圈值也增大;而变化步长小于预设值,即最小光圈值变化的最小单位小于预设值。
需要注意的是,变化步长可以不是一个固定的值,变化步长只要小于预设值即可,如图3A所示的对应关系中,最小光圈值与焦距之间并非呈线性关系。比如在一种实施中,可以设定预设值为0.8,焦距从10mm增大至15mm,最小光圈值增大0.4(即变化步长为0.4,小于0.8);而焦距从15mm增大至20mm,最小光圈值增大0.5(即变化步长为0.5,小于0.8)。
当然,最小光圈值随焦距变化而平缓变化也有其他的实施方式。比如,在另一种实施中,最小光圈值可以随焦距变化而阶梯式的变化,可以参见图3C,图3C示出本申请实施例提供的另一种示例性的光圈值调整策略中最小光圈值随焦距的变化示意图。可见,最小光圈值在小范围焦距变化时可以保持不变,但整体上看,最小光圈值仍然随焦距的变化而平缓变化,因此图像的亮度也不会发生突变。
焦距与最小光圈值的对应关系可以预先通过校正的方式获得。可以举个具体的例子,比如从最短焦距18mm增大到最长焦距55mm的过程中,最小光圈值不可避免的会从F2.8增大至F5.6,对应的图像亮度的luma值会从260下降到60,则可以确定上述对应关系中的起点是(18,2.8)与终点是(55,5.6)。在具体校正时,由于希望焦距增大时图像亮度平滑下降,因此可以选取一些焦距作为样本点,针对每个样本点设定一个期望的图像亮度值,比如焦距18mm对应luma值是260,则可以设定焦距20mm对应的luma值是250,焦距22mm对应的luma值是240……在每个样本点对应的焦距 下,根据设定的图像亮度,对原始出厂的最小光圈值进行校正,从而可以确定各个样本点对应校正后的最小光圈值。进一步的,可以对各个样本点进行曲线拟合,得到焦距与最小光圈值的对应关系,且该对应关系中,最小光圈值随焦距的变化平缓变化。
需要注意的是,通过上述对应关系对光圈值进行调整,图像亮度虽然不会出现突变,但图像亮度仍然会持续的平滑变化。如图3B所示,若采用手动模式、将焦距调至最短焦距、将光圈值设定为最小光圈值,那么,在从最短焦距向最长焦距进行变焦的过程中,随着焦距的增大,光圈值不断通过上述提供的对应关系进行调整,光圈值也将平缓的增大,而由于手动模式下其他曝光参数(如感光度ISO与快门时间)均保持不变,因此图像亮度随光圈值平缓的增大将平缓的下降。
图像亮度的下降通常会降低图像的质量,这不是用户希望看见的。因此,在另一种场景中,可以使用自动曝光模式。在自动曝光模式下,相机中的自动曝光算法可以自动的对ISO、快门时间以及光圈值进行调整,以使所拍摄的图像保持合适的亮度。具体的,在一种实施中,可以对自动曝光算法进行修改,将上述提供的对应关系修改至自动曝光算法中,以使自动曝光算法可以根据上述提供的对应关系计算新的光圈值,并将计算得到的新的光圈值应用到相机。在另一种实施中,也可以使自动曝光算法在计算新的光圈值时调用上述提供的对应关系,从而对光圈值进行调整。
自动曝光算法所调整的曝光参数中,光圈值可以根据上述提供的对应关系进行调整。而其他曝光参数,如ISO与快门时间,可以适应光圈值的变化进行调整。
在一个可选的实施方式中,其他曝光参数可以通过以下方式确定:
根据上述提供的对应关系,确定从当前焦距变焦至目标焦距对应的光圈值变化量;根据所述光圈值变化量,利用所述自动曝光算法确定其他曝光参数的变化量。
由于光圈值将根据上述提供的对应关系进行调整,因此,当变焦范围确定时,光圈值变化量也可以预估出来。比如,若确定当前焦距是35mm,目标焦距是50mm,则可以根据焦距与最小光圈值的对应关系,确定焦距从35mm变化至50mm对应的光圈值变化量。确定出的光圈值变化量可以提供给自动曝光算法,自动曝光算法可以根据光圈值变化量计算其他曝光参数的变化量,并可以根据计算出的其他曝光参数的变化量对其他曝光参数进行调整,从而实现对光圈值变化量的补偿,使所拍摄图像的亮度稳定,不会随着光圈值的变化而变化。
比如上述例子中,焦距从35mm变化至50mm,最小光圈值将会增大,最小光圈值的增大将引起所拍摄图像亮度的降低,而自动曝光算法可以通过调整ISO和快门时间,使所拍摄图像的亮度得以保持,相当于弥补了光圈值的变化量。而若仍然采用现 有技术中的光圈值调整策略,由于最小光圈值的变化过于激烈,即便自动曝光算法从ISO和快门时间下手对光圈值的变化率进行补偿,也无法补平,图像亮度仍然会发生突变。因此,只有在采用本申请实施例提供的焦距与最小光圈值的对应关系后,再结合自动曝光算法,才能实现变焦过程中图像亮度稳定不变。
需要说明的是,目标焦距可以是响应于用户的触发指令确定的。在一种场景中,可以是用户滑动触摸屏上的控件进行调焦,并根据用户滑动的位置确定目标焦距。在另一种场景中,可以是用户选定所拍摄图像中的某一区域作为对焦区域,则可以根据用户选定的对焦区域确定目标焦距。当然,还有其他的场景,比如在具有识别功能的相机中,可以智能的识别图像中的目标对象,并自动对焦到该目标对象上,此时目标焦距也可以确定得到。
以上所提供的各种实施方式下的图像处理方法可以应用于变焦相机。变焦相机本身可以是一个独立的产品,但其也可以某个产品的一部分,比如其可以是组合相机中的其中一个相机。可以理解的,一个具有拍摄功能的产品中可以集成多种相机。比如手机作为一种移动终端设备,就可以集成多种相机,如广角相机、长焦相机、超广角相机等等。又比如,无人机搭载的云台相机也可以是结合多种相机的组合相机,可以参见图4,图4是本申请实施例提供的一种无人机的云台组合相机的结构示意图。如图4所示,云台组合相机中可以包括红外相机401、广角相机402与变焦相机403。当然还有其他产品,在此不一一列举。
在包括有广角相机与变焦相机的产品中,一种可选的实施方式是,变焦相机可以结合广角相机提供的信息,协同广角相机进行曝光,以加快曝光参数的收敛。
自动曝光算法计算曝光参数的过程可以认为是曝光参数的收敛过程。在变焦相机的变焦过程中,由于光圈值将发生改变,因此所拍摄图像的亮度受光圈值的影响也会发生改变。此时,自动曝光算法可以对光圈值变化量进行补偿,计算出新的曝光参数并应用。而应用后图像亮度发生改变,自动曝光算法将再次根据改变后的图像亮度计算新的曝光参数……如此循环多次,直至图像亮度满足要求、曝光参数收敛。可见,曝光参数的收敛时间与图像亮度恢复稳定的速度是直接关联的,曝光参数的收敛时间越短,则图像亮度恢复稳定的速度则更快。
为缩短曝光参数的收敛时间,提高收敛速度,在本可选的实施方式中,上述所提供的图像处理方法可以应用于变焦相机,该变焦相机还可以与一广角相机连接,该图像处理方法还包括以下步骤:
在由广角相机的拍摄区域切换至拍摄区域中的目标区域的变焦过程中,根据理想 曝光参数对当前的曝光参数进行预调整。
其中,理想曝光参数是根据目标区域在广角相机所拍摄图像中的亮度与广角相机所拍摄图像的整体亮度的亮度差确定的。
考虑到变焦相机在变焦过程中,其拍摄区域随焦距变化,比如从短焦距调整至长焦距时,能拍摄到的区域将变小。而广角相机通常拍摄区域较大,且由于是定焦相机,其拍摄区域保持不变,因此,在从广角相机的拍摄区域切换到变焦相机即将对焦过去的区域时,可以以广角相机所拍摄图像为参考,从而加快变焦相机的曝光参数收敛。
具体的,可以将变焦相机即将对焦过去的区域称为目标区域,该目标区域是广角相机所拍摄的广角图像中某一部分。进一步的,可以确定该目标区域在广角相机所拍摄图像中的亮度,将确定出目标区域对应的亮度与广角相机所拍摄图像的整体亮度进行比较,得到亮度差。根据该亮度差,可以确定理想曝光参数,该理想曝光参数提供给变焦相机,以帮助加快变焦相机曝光参数的收敛。
上述的广角相机所拍摄图像的整体亮度,在确定时可以有多种方式。具体的,整体亮度的确定主要基于测光模式。可以采用的测光模式有多种,包括但不限于:点测光(矩阵测光)、评价测光(多重测光)、局部测光、中央重点平均测光。
需要说明的是,理想曝光参数是针对上述目标区域的曝光参数。广角相机有自身的曝光参数,但该曝光参数是自动曝光算法针对所拍摄图像的整体亮度计算出来的,而对于所拍摄图像的局部区域,该局部区域的亮度通常并未达到理想亮度。可以举一个稍具体的例子,比如在广角相机所拍摄的风景图像中,风景图像的整体亮度符合设定的要求,但风景图像中的树荫下的局部区域(该局部区域被选定为目标区域)却仍然太暗,未达到理想中的亮度。因此,可以通过自动曝光算法针对该目标区域计算对应的理想曝光参数,在该理想曝光参数下,目标区域的亮度将达到理想中的亮度。
理想曝光参数的计算可以由广角相机进行,也可以由变焦相机进行。在一种实施中,理想曝光参数的计算可以由变焦相机进行,广角相机可以将其自身当前的曝光参数以及确定的亮度差发送给变焦相机,变焦相机利用广角相机提供的信息,并结合自身当前的曝光参数计算理想曝光参数。具体的,在计算时,一种可选的实施方式是,变焦相机可以利用广角相机提供的曝光参数与自身的曝光参数计算出折算比例,通过该折算比例对广角相机所提供的亮度差进行修正,在将修正后的亮度差提供给变焦相机自身的自动曝光算法,有自动曝光算法根据修正后的亮度差计算出理想曝光参数。
虽然理想曝光参数由变焦相机计算是可行的,但广角相机需要向变焦相机提供相关的信息,广角相机与变焦相机之间需要交互,计算效率并不高。因此,另一种可选 的实施方式是,理想曝光参数的计算可以由广角相机进行,广角相机可以通过自身的自动曝光算法针对该目标区域计算对应的理想曝光参数。具体的,在计算时,一种可选的实施方式是,广角相机可以以所拍摄图像的整体亮度为目标区域的目标亮度,计算目标区域对应的理想曝光参数。不难发现,若广角相机使用计算出的理想曝光参数,所拍摄图像中目标区域对应部分的亮度可以达到上述的目标亮度。
上述的目标区域在广角相机所拍摄图像中的亮度,在确定时有多种实施方式。比如,在一种实施中,可以在目标区域确定后,截取出该目标区域在广角相机所拍摄图像中对应的局部图像,并对截取出的局部图像进行亮度分析,将分析出的亮度作为目标区域在广角相机所拍摄图像中的亮度。在另一种实施中,还可以将广角相机所拍摄图像划分为多个区块,并针对每一个区块进行亮度记录。在目标区域确定后,可以确定该目标区域在所拍摄图像中对应的区块,将对应的区块的亮度作为目标区域在广角相机所拍摄图像中的亮度。可以理解,广角相机所拍摄图像的划分有多种实施方式,比如可以将所拍摄图像划分为n*n的方格,并记录下每个方格的亮度,当然,也并不一定要划分成方格,本领域技术人员可以根据需要采用各种划分方案。
需要注意的是,若划分的区块比较小,则确定的目标区域可能对应多个区块,此时可以将多个区块的平均亮度作为目标区域的亮度。
目标区域在具体确定时,也有多种可行的实施方式。在一个实施例中,目标区域可以是广角相机响应用户的触发确定的对焦区域。比如,用户可以在广角相机所拍摄的实时画面上进行点击,感应到用户的点击,可以将用户点击的区域确认为目标区域。在另一个实施例中,目标区域也可以是用户在变焦相机所拍摄的实时画面上进行点击而确定的,当然,变焦相机可以将用户选择的目标区域通知广角相机。
计算出的理想曝光参数可以提供给变焦相机以提高曝光参数收敛的速度。而变焦相机在利用理想曝光参数时,可以有多种实施方式。在一种实施方式中,可以利用计算出的理想曝光参数,并结合变焦相机自身当前的曝光参数,计算出变焦相机的新的曝光参数。具体计算时,在一个例子中,变焦相机的新的曝光参数可以是当前的曝光参数与理想曝光参数的线型组合。比如,可以预设一个权重系数,可以将该预设的权重系数用a表示。在一个例子中,可以通过以下方式计算新的曝光参数:
变焦相机的新的曝光参数=初始曝光参数×(1-a)+理想曝光参数×a。
其中,a可以为0~1之间的任何数。比如,当a=1时,则新的曝光参数可以直接等于理想曝光参数,当a=0.2时,则新的曝光参数=初始曝光参数×0.8+理想曝光参数×0.2。
计算出的新的曝光参数可以直接作为变焦相机待切换的曝光参数。
在另一种实施方式中,可以先对理想曝光参数进行修正,具体的,可以通过预设修正系数对理想曝光参数进行修正。修正后的理想曝光参数可以直接作为当前的曝光参数,即可以将当前的曝光参数设置为修正后的理想曝光参数。
在本实施例提供的图像处理方法中,在从广角相机的拍摄区域切换到变焦相机的目标区域的过程中,变焦相机可以根据理想曝光参数进行曝光参数的预调整,在预调整之后,变焦相机可以进一步通过自身的自动曝光算法对曝光参数进行收敛计算。由于当前的曝光参数已经预调整为新的曝光参数或修正后的理想曝光参数,因此当前的曝光参数与符合收敛条件的曝光参数已经相差不大,自动曝光算法在此基础上对曝光参数进行更新,曝光参数能够很快收敛,图像亮度能够快速恢复平稳。而在画面切换至目标区域之后,若进行变焦过程,则可以继续根据本申请提供的焦距与最小光圈值的对应关系对光圈值进行调整,由于在该对应关系中,最小光圈值随焦距是平缓变化的,因此图像亮度也不会发生突变。
以上为对本申请实施例第一方面提供图像处理方法进行的详细说明。
下面请参见图5,图5是本申请实施例第二方面提供的图像处理方法的流程图。该方法可以由包括变焦相机与广角相机的设备(如组合相机)执行,其中变焦相机与广角相机连接。该方法包括:
S501、通过广角相机获取所拍摄图像的整体亮度。
S502、获取用户在所拍摄图像中选择的目标区域。
S503、在通过变焦相机对所述目标区域进行变焦拍摄时,根据理想曝光参数对所述变焦相机当前的曝光参数进行预调整。
其中,所述理想曝光参数是根据所述目标区域在所述广角相机所拍摄图像中的亮度与所述广角相机所拍摄图像的整体亮度的亮度差确定的。
组合相机可以包括有变焦相机与广角相机。其中,变焦相机在变焦过程中,其拍摄区域随焦距变化,比如从短焦距调整至长焦距时,能拍摄到的区域将变小。而广角相机通常拍摄区域较大,且由于是定焦相机,其拍摄区域保持不变,因此,在从广角相机的拍摄区域切换到变焦相机即将对焦过去的区域时,可以以广角相机所拍摄图像为参考,从而加快变焦相机的曝光参数收敛。
具体的,可以通过广角相机获取所拍摄图像的整体亮度。在获取到用户选择目标区域后,可以通过广角相机计算目标区域在自身所拍摄图像中的亮度与获取的整体亮度的亮度差。根据该亮度差可以计算出理想曝光参数。该理想曝光参数可以是目标区 域在广角相机上的理想曝光参数,若广角相机使用该理想曝光参数,在该理想曝光参数下,目标区域的亮度将达到理想中的亮度。
该理想曝光参数可以提供给变焦相机,由变焦相机通过该理想曝光参数对当前自身的曝光参数进行预调整。
由于在预调整之后,变焦相机的曝光参数与对焦到目标区域的最合适的曝光参数已经相差不大,因此在通过自身的自动曝光算法对曝光参数进行进一步的收敛计算时,曝光参数能够很快收敛,趋于一个稳定值,使得图像亮度能够快速恢复平稳。

本申请实施例第二方面提供的图像处理方法,在变焦相机通过自身的自动曝光算法对曝光参数进行收敛计算之前,对当前的曝光参数进行了预调整,预调整后的曝光参数与符合收敛条件的曝光参数已经相差不大,因此在自动曝光算法的后续计算中,曝光参数能够很快收敛,图像亮度能够快速恢复平稳。
