Embodiment
Describe embodiments of the invention in detail below with reference to accompanying drawing.
the first embodiment
Fig. 1 is the block diagram illustrating according to the structure of the image processing equipment of first embodiment of the invention.
Image unit 101 comprises unshowned pick-up lens, camera head and drive circuit thereof, and the optical imagery that uses camera head that pick-up lens is formed converts the signal of telecommunication to.Camera head comprises charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) (CMOS) transducer, and comprises the pixel set of the bayer-pattern shown in Figure 16.
Convert the analog signal of exporting from image unit 101 to digital signal by A/D converter 102.White balance (WB) circuit 103 carries out known blank level adjustment to the picture signal that is converted to digital signal by A/D converter 102.
The picture signal of exporting from white balance circuit 103 is inputed to color difference signal generative circuit 104, degree of correlation testing circuit 110 and luminance signal generative circuit 111.Degree of correlation testing circuit 110 detect according to picture signal, taking pixel or region as unit in the vertical direction with horizontal direction on the degree of correlation of signal.The picture signal of utilizing output, luminance signal generative circuit 111 and the brightness gamma circuit 112 of degree of correlation testing circuit 110 to export white balance circuit 103 is carried out luminance signal processing, thereby taking pixel or region as the output brightness signal Y of unit.
Color difference signal generative circuit 104 is according to inputted picture signal, taking pixel or region as unit generates color difference signal R-G and B-G, and exports color difference signal.The color difference signal R-G and the B-G that color difference signal generative circuit 104 are exported by color conversion matrix circuit 105 convert respectively color difference signal R-Y and B-Y to.Afterwards, utilize color to suppress the aberration gain that circuit 106 suppresses high brightness and low-light level.Suppress the output signal of circuit 106 by known color gamma circuit 107 with for adjusting the known colourity flex point circuit 108 of cHroma gain from color, thereby taking pixel or region as the output color difference signal UV of unit.
The brightness interpolating processing of now explanation luminance signal generative circuit 111 being carried out.Fig. 2 illustrates the subregion being made up of 3 × 3 pixels that form with the bayer-pattern shown in Figure 16 in camera head.In this brightness interpolating is processed, do not distinguish from the signal G1sig of the pixel output corresponding with G1 filter and from the signal G2sig of the corresponding pixel output of G2 filter, and these two signals are all processed as Gsig.
First, luminance signal generative circuit 111 by Gsig be interpolated into all pixels corresponding with filter except G filter (G1 filter and G2 filter), with R filter and the corresponding pixel of B filter.For example, the P1~P9 in Fig. 2 is the Reference numeral for identifying pixel, and R, G1, G2 and B represent the color filter corresponding with each pixel P1~P9." P5 (Rsig) " represents the value of the Rsig in pixel P5, and " P5 (Gsig) " represents the value of the Gsig in pixel P5, and " P5 (Bsig) " represents the value of the Bsig in pixel P5.
In the case of Gsig being interpolated into the pixel P5 corresponding with B filter, the degree of correlation of the signal in detection of vertical and horizontal direction is to judge the direction of higher degree of relation., obtain the absolute value of the difference between the absolute value of the difference between the signal of the pixel of the pixel upper and lower sides as interpolation target and the signal in the pixel of the pixel left and right sides as interpolation target.
mathematical expression 1
Hdiff=|P4(Gsig)-P6(Gsig)|···(1)
Vdiff=|P2(Gsig)-P8(Gsig)|···(2)
Then, the difference between Hdiff and Vdiff judges signal MatSw as interpolation direction.
mathematical expression 2
MatSw=Hdiff-Vdiff···(3)
When MatSw is when negative, the degree of correlation in horizontal direction is stronger, thereby carries out interpolation by the picture element signal in usage level direction., the Gsig using the mean value of the Gsig of the Gsig of pixel P4 and pixel P6 as P5.On the other hand, be on duty as timing, by using the picture element signal in vertical direction to carry out interpolation., the Gsig using the mean value of the Gsig of the Gsig of pixel P2 and pixel P8 as P5.In a similar fashion all pixels corresponding with R filter and B filter are carried out the interpolation of Gsig.
Then, carry out the interpolation of Rsig by Gsig pair of all pixels corresponding with G filter and B filter after use interpolation.By using the Rsig of the pixel corresponding with the R filter that is positioned at left and right sides or upper and lower sides and these pixels being carried out Gsig that interpolation obtains the pixel corresponding with G filter (P2, P4, P6 and P8) carried out the interpolation of Rsig.And, by using the Rsig of the pixel corresponding with being positioned at pixel R filter around and these pixels being carried out to the Gsig that interpolation obtains, carry out interpolation according to the following formula pair pixel corresponding with B filter.
mathematical expression 3
P2(Rsig)=((P1(Rsig)-P1(Gsig))+(P3(Rsig)-P3(Gsig)))/2+P2(Gsig)···(4)
P4(Rsig)=((P1(Rsig)-P1(Gsig))+(P7(Rsig)-P7(Gsig)))/2+P4(Gsig)···(5)
P5(Rsig)=((P1(Rsig)-P1(Gsig))+(P3(Rsig)-P3(Gsig))+(P7(Rsig)-P7(Gsig))+(P9(Rsig)-P9(Gsig)))/4+P5(Gsig)···(6)
Equally, can carry out to all pixels corresponding with G filter and R filter the interpolation of Bsig.Therefore, in each pixel, obtain Rsig, Gsig and Bsig.In addition,, by using following formula (7) to calculate, can obtain brightness signal Y in each pixel.
mathematical expression 4
Y=0.3×Rsig+0.59×Gsig+0.11×Bsig···(7)
Note, can change as required the coefficient in expression formula (7) every.
Then, by the color interpolation processing of carrying out in explanation color difference signal generative circuit 104.Fig. 3 is the block diagram that the structure of color difference signal generative circuit 104 is shown.Color difference signal generative circuit 104 comprises color interpolation circuit 300 and 350, low pass filter (LPF) 301~304 and 351~353, color difference signal counting circuit 311~314, selects circuit 320 and false colour decision circuitry 360.
The picture signal that white balance circuit 103 is exported inputs to color interpolation circuit 300.Fig. 4 is the figure of the interpolation processing of carrying out for account for color interpolation circuit 300.As shown in Figure 4, color interpolation circuit 300 will decompose into the picture signal being made up of the signal corresponding with each color of R, G1, G2 and B filter with the picture signal of bayer-pattern input.Now, signal value 0 is inserted not with decompose after the corresponding pixel of color filter in.
Afterwards, color interpolation circuit 500 uses known digital filter to utilize LPF to carry out interpolation processing, and exports all pixels and all have the picture signal of color R signal, each, G1, G2 and B.
The picture signal of each color of exporting from color interpolation circuit 300 is inputed to LPF301~304 with different cut-off frequencies.Fig. 6 (a) illustrates the example of the frequency characteristic of LPF301~304.LPF301 has the frequency characteristic 601 in Fig. 6 (a), LPF302 has the frequency characteristic 602 in Fig. 6 (a), LPF303 has the frequency characteristic 603 in Fig. 6 (a), and LPF304 has the frequency characteristic 604 in Fig. 6 (a).Be appreciated that from Fig. 6 (a) cut-off frequency increases with the order of LPF301, LPF302, LPF303 and LPF304., image, comprise higher frequency content with the order of the picture signal S03 exporting from the picture signal S01 of LPF301 output, from the picture signal S02 of LPF302 output, from LPF303 and the picture signal S04 exporting from LPF304.Each picture signal S01~S04 has the picture signal of each color R, the G1, G2 and the B that have limited frequency content.
Picture signal S01 is inputed to color difference signal counting circuit 311, picture signal S02 is inputed to color difference signal counting circuit 312, picture signal S03 is inputed to color difference signal counting circuit 313, and picture signal S04 is inputed to color difference signal counting circuit 314.Color difference signal counting circuit 311~314 is by using said method to calculate color difference signal to picture signal S01~S04.
That is, the object pixel that color difference signal counting circuit 311 obtains with reference to degree of correlation testing circuit 110 in the horizontal direction with vertical direction on the degree of correlation, thereby generate color difference signal R-G and B-G.Particularly, if degree of correlation testing circuit 110 is judged as the degree of correlation in horizontal direction higher than the degree of correlation in vertical direction, color difference signal counting circuit 311 is using the value of Rsig-G1sig as color difference signal R-G and using the value of Bsig-G2sig as color difference signal B-G.On the other hand, if degree of correlation testing circuit 110 is judged as the degree of correlation in vertical direction higher than the degree of correlation in horizontal direction, color difference signal counting circuit 311 is using the value of Rsig-G2sig as color difference signal R-G and using the value of Bsig-G1sig as color difference signal B-G.
Alternatively, color difference signal counting circuit 311 is by using the corresponding weight coefficient of difference between the value of Rsig-G1sig and the value of Rsig-G2sig, using the mean value of the value of the value of Rsig-G1sig and Rsig-G2sig as color difference signal R-G.Equally, color difference signal counting circuit 311 is by using the corresponding weight coefficient of difference between the value of Bsig-G1sig and the value of Bsig-G2sig, using the mean value of the value of the value of Bsig-G1sig and Bsig-G2sig as color difference signal B-G.
Also in color difference signal counting circuit 312~314, carry out above-mentioned processing.
The color difference signal R-G that color difference signal counting circuit 311~314 is calculated and B-G input to selection circuit 320 described later as color difference signal S11, S12, S13 and S14.
False colour decision operation then will be described.The view data of exporting from white balance circuit 103 is inputed to color interpolation circuit 350.As color interpolation circuit 300, color interpolation circuit 350 is exported all pixels and all has the picture signal of color R signal, each, G1, G2 and B.
In the bayer-pattern shown in Figure 16, the pixel count corresponding with G filter is the twice of the pixel count corresponding with R filter or the twice with the corresponding pixel count of B filter.By G filter being resolved into G1 filter and G2 filter, the pixel separation (sampling interval) of R, G1, G2 and B filter becomes mutually and equates.Therefore,, by using the picture signal of G1 and G2 to detect the region that aliasing noise occurs, can specify the region that aliasing noise occurs in the picture signal of R and B.
The picture signal of each color of exporting from color interpolation circuit 350 is inputed to LPF351~353 with different cut-off frequencies.Fig. 6 (b) illustrates the example of the frequency characteristic of LPF351~353.LPF351 has the frequency characteristic 611 in Fig. 6 (b), and LPF352 has the frequency characteristic 612 in Fig. 6 (b), and LPF353 has the frequency characteristic 613 in Fig. 6 (b).Be appreciated that from Fig. 6 (b) cut-off frequency increases with the order of LPF351, LPF352 and LPF353., image, comprise higher frequency content with the order of the picture signal T02 exporting from the picture signal T01 of LPF351 output, from LPF352 and the picture signal T03 exporting from LPF353.In the present embodiment, the frequency characteristic of LPF301 is corresponding with the frequency characteristic of LPF351, and the frequency characteristic of LPF302 is corresponding with the frequency characteristic of LPF352, and the frequency characteristic of LPF303 and the frequency characteristic of LPF353 corresponding.
To input to false colour decision circuitry 360 from the picture signal T01~T03 of LPF351~353 output.
The method that the region of pseudo-chrominance signal occurs by 360 judgements of false colour decision circuitry is described referring now to Fig. 7 and 8.Fig. 7 illustrates the subject of the vertical stripes with gradual change.Fig. 8 illustrates G1sig in the picture signal that the image by taking the subject in Fig. 7 obtains and the value of G2sig.
In Fig. 8 (a)~(i), transverse axis represents the position of the pixel in horizontal direction.At Fig. 8 (a), (d) with (g), the G1sig that configuration obtains from the pixel corresponding with G1 filter particular row side by side and from another row the G2sig that obtains of the corresponding pixel of G2 filter.In the horizontal direction with vertical direction on, the sampling interval of the sampling interval of the pixel corresponding with G1 filter and the pixel corresponding with G2 filter equates mutually, and the pixel corresponding with G1 filter and be offset the half in sampling interval with the space phase of the corresponding pixel of G2 filter.
Because the subject in Fig. 7 is vertical stripes, thereby subject image is incident to all row equably.Thus, when according to the position configuration G1sig of the pixel in horizontal direction and G2sig, can obtain the picture signal of the gradual change of the subject shown in presentation graphs 7.Here,, in Fig. 8 (a), the frequency of supposing the vertical stripes shown in Fig. 7 is fully lower than the nyquist frequency of G1 filter and G2 filter.In Fig. 8 (d), the frequency of supposing the vertical stripes shown in Fig. 7 is higher than the frequency of the vertical stripes shown in Fig. 8 (a) and slightly lower than the nyquist frequency of G1 filter and G2 filter.In Fig. 8 (g), suppose that the frequency of the vertical stripes shown in Fig. 7 is higher than the nyquist frequency of G1 filter and G2 filter.
At Fig. 8 (b), (e) with (h), only extract Fig. 8 (a), (d) and (g) in G1sig, and by using G1sig around not corresponding with G1 filter pixel to be carried out to the interpolation of G1sig.At Fig. 8 (c), (f) with (i), only extract Fig. 8 (a), (d) and (g) in G2sig, and by using G2sig around not corresponding with G2 filter pixel to be carried out to the interpolation of G2sig.
Be appreciated that from Fig. 8 (a)~(i) G1sig after interpolation and the phase deviation of G2sig are little when the spatial frequency of subject is during fully lower than the nyquist frequency of G1 filter and G2 filter.Along with the spatial frequency of subject more approaches the nyquist frequency of G1 filter and G2 filter, the G1sig after interpolation and the phase deviation of G2sig are large.In the time that spatial frequency exceedes nyquist frequency, the G1sig after interpolation and the phase place of G2sig are substantially contrary.That is whether, can come judging area by the phase difference of the G1sig after detection interpolation and G2sig is high-frequency region, and whether region is the region that false colour occurs.
The operation of false colour decision circuitry 360 is described referring now to Fig. 9 and Figure 10.
Fig. 9 is the figure that circular zone plate (CZP) is shown, wherein, configures many concentric circless using picture centre as initial point, and spatial frequency therefrom increases in mind-set outside.Figure 10 illustrates G1sig after the drawn interpolation being positioned at the axle extending from the central horizontal of CZP and the value of G2sig.
In Figure 10 (a), the G1sig after the interpolation of curve 1001 presentation video signal T01, and G2sig after the interpolation of curve 1002 presentation video signal T01.In Figure 10 (b), the G1sig after the interpolation of curve 1003 presentation video signal T02, and G2sig after the interpolation of curve 1004 presentation video signal T02.In Figure 10 (c), the G1sig after the interpolation of curve 1005 presentation video signal T03, and G2sig after the interpolation of curve 1006 presentation video signal T03.F0~F4 represents the spatial frequency of CZP.The spatial frequency at picture centre place is represented by F0, and spatial frequency increases to the outside of image gradually with the order of F1, F2, F3 and F4.
Whether the difference of the characteristic between the picture signal of the G2sig of false colour decision circuitry 360 after by picture signal and the interpolation of the G1sig with after interpolation is come judging area is the high-frequency region that pseudo-chrominance signal occurs.Particularly, the phase place of the slope of the picture signal of the G2sig after picture signal and the interpolation of the G1sig after concern interpolation, and in the time meeting following formula (8), be the false colour region that pseudo-chrominance signal occurs by region decision.
mathematical expression 5
Δ G1h × Δ G2h<0 or Δ G1v × Δ G2v<0 (8)
Here the picture signal that Δ G1h represents the G1sig after interpolation slope in the horizontal direction, and the Δ G2h slope in the horizontal direction of picture signal that represents the G2sig after interpolation.And, the picture signal that Δ G1v represents the G1sig after interpolation slope in vertical direction, and the Δ G2v slope in vertical direction of picture signal that represents the G2sig after interpolation.For example, can obtain the slope in horizontal direction by the known digital filter shown in use Fig. 5 (a), and by using the known digital filter shown in Fig. 5 (b) to obtain the slope in vertical direction.Be not limited to this for the filter that obtains slope.
Alternatively, can be taking the target area of the multiple pixels of each freedom composition as unit, and do not judge false colour region taking pixel as unit.Taking target area as unit judges in the situation that, if by using in the slope of the picture signal that each pixel that this region comprises obtains, the percentage that meets the slope of the picture signal of expression formula (8) is equal to or higher than threshold value, can be false colour region by this region decision.Below, the region that " target area " can be made up of multiple pixels or the region being formed by single pixel.
In the present embodiment, can judge from Figure 10 (a), in picture signal T01, the spatial frequency in Fig. 9 is higher than the region 2~4th of F1, false colour region.And, can judge from Figure 10 (b), in picture signal T02, the spatial frequency in Fig. 9 is false colour regions higher than the region 3 and 4 of F2.In addition, can judge from Figure 10 (c), in picture signal T03, the spatial frequency in Fig. 9 is false colour regions higher than the region 4 of F3.
Select circuit 320 for being judged as the region 1 that is not false colour region in picture signal T01, select from thering is with picture signal T01 the color difference signal S11 that the picture signal of same frequency generates.And, select circuit 320 in false colour region and picture signal T02, to be judged as for being judged as in picture signal T01 the region 2 that is not false colour region, select from thering is with picture signal T02 the color difference signal S12 that the picture signal of same frequency generates.And, select circuit 320 in false colour region and picture signal T03, to be judged as for being judged as in picture signal T02 the region 3 that is not false colour region, select from thering is with picture signal T03 the color difference signal S13 that the picture signal of same frequency generates.And, select circuit 320 for the region 4 that is judged as false colour region in picture signal T03, select the color difference signal S14 generating lower than the picture signal of the frequency of picture signal T03 from having.By this way, select circuit 320 can not comprise taking pixel as contractor selection the color difference signal of false colour.
In the present embodiment, suppose that the frequency characteristic of LPF301 and the frequency characteristic of LPF351 are corresponding, the frequency characteristic of LPF302 is corresponding with the frequency characteristic of LPF352, and the frequency characteristic of LPF303 and the frequency characteristic of LPF353 corresponding, but the invention is not restricted to this.
For example, in order to increase and be judged as the probability that false colour does not occur in the region that is not false colour region in picture signal T01 in picture signal S01, the upper limit of the frequency that picture signal S01 can be comprised is decreased to below the upper limit of the frequency that picture signal T01 comprises., the cut-off frequency of LPF351 is set to be slightly higher than the cut-off frequency of LPF301.Equally, the cut-off frequency of LPF352 is set to the cut-off frequency higher than LPF302, and the cut-off frequency of LPF353 is set to be slightly higher than the cut-off frequency of LPF303.But, in this case, with the frequency characteristic of LPF301 corresponding to the frequency characteristic of the frequency characteristic of LPF351, LPF302 corresponding to the frequency characteristic of LPF352 and the frequency characteristic of LPF303 corresponding to compared with the situation of the frequency characteristic of LPF353, may increase the region with the color resolution reducing.
On the contrary, in the time will reducing the region with the color resolution reducing, can LPF301, LPF302 and the cut-off frequency of LPF303 be set to the cut-off frequency lower than corresponding LPF351, LPF352 and LPF353 slightly.But, in this case, in picture signal S01, may comprise the frequency higher than the frequency of picture signal T01.Thus, probably not that by being judged as in picture signal T01 the region decision in false colour region is the false colour region in picture signal S01.
Can come whether appropriate change makes the cut-off frequency of LPF301~303 and the cut-off frequency of LPF351~353 is corresponding or it is poor whether between them, to arrange according to the image that will generate.Alternatively, change according to the pattern of subject because reduce the effect of resolution, so can be according to the cut-off frequency of these LPF of subject appropriate change.
As mentioned above, according to the present embodiment, color difference signal generative circuit 104 generates multiple picture signal S01~S04 of LPF301~304 by having different cut-off frequencies, and hierarchically generates color difference signal S11~S14 according to multiple picture signal S01~S04.Then, color difference signal generative circuit 104 generates multiple picture signal T01~T03 of LPF351~353 by having different cut-off frequencies, and detects false colour region taking the picture signal of different layers as unit.Select circuit 320 to detect that according to the picture signal of which resolution from picture signal T01~T03 false colour region selects any in color difference signal S11~S14.Thus, select circuit 320 can be with pixel or region for unit, select the color difference signal that picture signal was generated in the layer of highest frequency the scope from preventing false colour.
By this way, color resolution is reduced to necessary amount only to suppress false colour in the region that false colour occurs, and in the region that false colour does not occur, eliminate and reduce the necessity of color resolution, thereby can realize the well balanced of the increase of color resolution and the inhibition of false colour.
