Description

The design method of ToF camera and diffraction optical element
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of ToF cameras, optical projection system, robot, control loop and electronics with the ToF camera The design method of the diffraction optical element of equipment and the array light source for ToF camera.
Background technique
In gesture identification and 3D the imaging application of control loop (such as automated driving system), optical projection system or electronic equipment It is frequently necessary to the depth information of measurement target object.Common depth measurement method have triangle telemetry, structural light measurement method and ToF telemetry.The different ranging technology of these types respectively has advantage and disadvantage.Triangle telemetry is insensitive to environment light and hardware configuration is simple It is single, but having the stationary problem between camera due to using multiple cameras causes image analysis at high cost, and product be difficult to it is whole Body miniaturization.The spatial resolution of structural light measurement method is high, and calculating is at low cost, but measurement result is rung big and surveyed by environment shadow It is big to measure high-speed moving object error.For ToF telemetry for triangle telemetry and structural light measurement method, structure is simple, produces Product are small in size, and measurement high-speed moving object result is preferable, and environment light influences small, the wherein survey of ToF telemetry to measurement result It is as shown in Figure 1 away from schematic diagram.In view of measurement result precision, triangle telemetry measures middle and long distance, structure light under normal circumstances Mensuration and ToF telemetry measure short distance.
Specifically, ToF telemetry is divided into two classes, and one kind is the echo time of measurement pulse signal to measure distance, generally Single-point type rangefinder and scanning type laser radar are in this way.Since light energy is concentrated, rangefinder in this way Measurement range with laser radar is several meters and arrives several kms.Another kind of is phase-detection method, utilizes what is loaded on continuous optical signal The phase-shift measurement distance of modulated signal echo.The distance of this method measurement is limited to the frequency of modulated signal, generally several hundred KHz is to tens megahertzs.Effectively measurement distance increases with the frequency of modulated signal and is reduced.ToF camera is surveyed using latter Away from principle, structure as shown in Figure 1, system by a light source 101, testee 102, camera lens 103, ToF depth transducer 104 It is formed with hardware controls processing circuit 105.The amplitude of the light issued by light source 101 is irradiated by being emitted after sinusoidal or square-wave frequency modulation To testee 102.Camera lens 103 collects the signal light by reflection and passes to ToF depth image sensor 104.ToF depth Imaging sensor 104 is locking phase CCD or CMOS photosensitive array.Fig. 2 show the structural schematic diagram of locking phase CCD a kind of, table in figure The region for being shown as Light Opening is effective photosensitive area, and the light of other parts incidence will not have an impact result.It is this Field distribution in the locking phase CCD of special construction or the control device of cmos device dynamic makes the hole electricity by photon excitation Into device, specific region is mobile and accumulates in the electron trap in the region for the electronics of sub- centering.Due to CCD or CMOS device The limitation of part, each frame image needs the integral of long period, thus can not achieve to High Speed Modulation optical signal (several hundred kHz To tens megahertzs) high-speed sampling.But locking phase CCD or cmos device can quickly be cut with the synchronous frequency of modulating frequency Field distribution on parallel operation part, so that the energy within the scope of modulated signal same phase is accumulated in the same electron trap, together To realize the sampling to modulated signal out of phase time point.
The Computing Principle of testee distance is as shown in Figure 4.The phase difference of reflected light relative laser device sending signal lightSymbol Close following equation 1.
Wherein, A is the amplitude for receiving signal, and B is the DC component for receiving signal, is proportional to the signal light received respectively Subnumber and environment/noise light subnumber.A and B correspond with following equation 2 and formula 3:
Further, testee distance meets following equation 4:
Since the error source of ToF camera ranging is mainly environment light, quantum noise and device noise.Ambient light illumination is not With distance change, so measurement result and apart from unrelated, but it is related with angular is received.Quantum noise is called shot noise, by Quantum effect in photoelectric effect determines, does not change with the variation of environment, and device noise includes reset noise, flashes and make an uproar The current noise and dark current noise of sound, amplifier.Noise intensity increases with increased temperature.The size of measurement error limits The distance of ToF camera ranging, the process for reducing error are exactly to increase the process of ToF camera measurement distance.Not due to quantum noise With device and environmental change, thus quantum noise determines the maximal accuracy of ideally ranging.
Distance is calculated since ToF camera ranging is the phase difference between the incident optical signal and reflected light signal measured, institute Meet following equation 5 with error delta L:
Ideally, environment light can be approximated to be B=A/2 much smaller than signal light, is substituted into formula 5, can obtained Following equation 6:
It can deduce that the bigger measurement error of A is smaller according to formula 6.But due to each picture on ToF depth image sensor The electron number that element can be accumulated is limited, and increase A is also continued after accumulation electron number saturation can not reduce error and waste Light source power, therefore the value of A is limited, cannot be infinity.When pixel saturated electrons number is 100000, error be can control To the 0.04% of maximum measure distance.
The method that measurement error is further decreased under the conditions of A value is limited is to reduce environment light to the shadow of measurement result It rings.Because ambient light illumination is not with distance change, the influence of its generation and apart from unrelated related with angular is received.Therefore can lead to The focal length of increase light receiving microscopy head is crossed to reduce the visual angle of camera lens, to weaken the influence of environment light generation.
Under the conditions of different lens focus, emulation enters the environment optical power of camera lens with variation such as Fig. 5 (a) institute of distance Show.Under the conditions of different environment photoelectron numbers, shown in the variation such as Fig. 5 (b) of simulated measurement precision with distance.Simulation result table Bright, in the case that ambient light illumination is constant, visual angle becomes 5% that 15 degree of environment light are original from 50 degree, does not influence the feelings of precision It can be improved four times of measurement distances under condition.Meanwhile the fewer measurement accuracy of electron number that environment light generates is higher.
Further, the expression formula for the influence that device noise generates measurement result (i.e. error delta L) is formula 7:
Wherein, Npseudo is the noise electronics that device introduces.
If the laser used is non ideal solution reconciliation light source, A, B are indicated with its introduced free electron number respectively, It can then know following equation 8, formula 9 and formula 10.
Beff=Nambient+Npseudo+PEopt(formula 8);
A=CmodCdemodPEopt(formula 9);
In specific measurement application, device parameters and environment influence are substantially constant, can be subtracted by following three kinds of methods The influence of gadget noise, to reduce the error delta L in measurement process:
1) cool down, can reduce device noise;
2) influence of device noise can be weakened by increasing the electron number received.There are two types of methods, and first method is to increase Large aperture, in the case where not changing light conversion electron number, the aperture that the distance often doubled needs to double, this side The shortcomings that method is that structural volume is caused to increase cost increase.Second method is to increase optical power, and the distance often doubled needs Want four times of optical power.
3) it since the light source being adapted at a distance will lead to short distance device saturation, can reduce using dynamic optical power such Error.
Assuming that when device and following light source parameters: light source power 700mW, 50 degree of beam divergence angle, pixel photosensitive area 12.5 × 14.5 μm 2, optical maser wavelength 630nm, quantum efficiency 65%, integration sampling time 25ms, camera lens efficiency be 0.35, mirror Head bore diameter is 2.6mm, emulates the relationship between incident light subnumber and error change and environmental variance.Fig. 6 show the anti-of object Penetrate the relationship of rate and incident light subnumber, it can be seen that exist between the number of photons that the reflectivity and sensor of object receive linear Relationship.It on the other hand, is the influence for inhibiting environment light, the receipts angular of camera lens influences the precision of measurement, and emulation experiment shows will Camera lens receives angular from when being kept to 15 degree for 50 degree, and the number of photons that environment light generates will become original 5%, this will be greatly improved The precision of measurement, to obtain farther measurement distance.It is long by changing the method reduction error post-simulation that angle lens are 15 ° Measurement result in distance range is as shown in Figure 7.Wherein simulation parameter is F=1.5MHz, and testee reflectivity is 0.5.
Fig. 7 (a) is under the conditions of different light source powers, the electron number that signal light and environment light generate within the pixel is with distance Change curve;Fig. 7 (b) be different light source light power conditions under, measurement error with distance change curve.Simulation result table Bright, long range measurements need very big light source power that can guarantee measurement accuracy.Using the difference frequency side of two high frequency light sources The maximum nothing that method can increase phase method obscures ranging.But theory analysis surface, survey not can increase by the method for difference frequency The precision of amount.
In view of non-for the relatively total elemental area of effective photosensitive area of the dot structure on ToF depth image sensor Often small, between the generally 6%-15% of elemental area, the method for further increasing measurement accuracy is to promote light signal light Light efficiency.Consider that the method for promoting light efficiency is to increase a corresponding lenticule on each pixel from sensor structure, will enter The light penetrated further converges to photosensitive area.This method is the problem is that also improve ring while improving signal light efficiency The intensity of border light, it is unfavorable that the precision under strong light environment is improved.

Meanwhile the light source range accuracy of 1550nm wavelength is high, this is because Transmittance spectrum difference of the atmosphere to different wave length electromagnetic wave It is caused.
In addition, the resolution sizes of ToF camera 100 also have an impact measuring result error, for proofing chip point The influence of resolution repeats the above emulation using the sensor that another resolution ratio is 320 × 240, and simulation result is as shown in figure 12.

The precision within 1m can be reached under 3.65 × 24 resolution ratio at 100m distance.
Summarize above-mentioned analysis result, it can be deduced that following two points conclusion:
Firstly, comparing scanning type laser radar, the scanning speed of the ToF camera is fast, there is very high precision in short distance, can To be suitable for AGV robot.
The characteristics of AGV robot application is: movement speed is slow, and less (storehouse, plant area etc.), 5MHZ is modulated moving range, 30 meters of ranging ranges can meet ranging requirement.ToF camera range accuracy is verified for these features, then is surveyed in emulation Measuring distance range is within 30 meters, in addition, other simulation parameters are as follows: Cmod=1, (λ)=0.65, klens=0.35, Tint =33ms, λ=630nm, D=2.6mm, ρ=0.2, Aimage=4.6mm2, Apixel=3.75 μm 2, τ=0.8, Npix= 320 × 280, lensAngle=50 °, simulation result are as shown in figure 13.Figure 13 (a) is the Uniform Illumination and point under different capacity The measuring accuracy of battle array illumination is with the curve graph for measuring distance change;Figure 13 (b) is after valid pixel is kept to original 1/4, no Measuring accuracy with Uniform Illumination and dot matrix illumination under power is with the curve graph for measuring distance change.
From in simulation result shown in Figure 13 can from obtain, the illumination of the dot matrix of 7W precision can reach at 30m 3%, sampling number is 2.3M/s (320 × 240*30ps) at this time.Reduce the number of pixels on CDD sensor is original 1/4 (reducing light source lattice point number, the energy that each pixel can distribute is more), then the dot matrix illumination of 7W precision can reach at 30m To 1%.
In conclusion although the principle of ToF camera limits its application in long range ranging, but from simulation result It sees, can accomplish 1% to 3% precision after illuminating using dot matrix within 30m, meet the needs of low speed AGV enough, it is specific Parameter are as follows: when 3%, can accomplish the rate of 2Mpps with the ToF chip of TI;When 1%, 700kpps rate;Its performance has surpassed Cross most of AGV laser radar on the market.
The optical power for meeting error requirements needs when secondly, the ToF camera is as long range ranging is very high, leads to it Cost and volume advantage it is weaker, therefore, the ToF camera can be applied to control loop, such as automated driving system, but phase Compared with AGV robot, the ToF camera is more suitable for AGV robot.
