Focusing is used to adjust the distance between the lens and the image sensor so that the image plane of the lens falls on the imaging surface of the image sensor. At present, autofocus is often used in commonly used digital cameras, that is, according to the distance of the object to be photographed, the circuit drives the motor to move the lens to the corresponding position, so that the target is automatically and clearly imaged. [0003] Conventional autofocus can be divided into active autofocus and passive autofocus. Active autofocus: The camera emits infrared or ultrasonic waves to the subject. The sensor calculates the camera and the subject by the infrared signal or ultrasonic wave reflected from the camera through the digital signal processor (DSP, Digital Signal Processor) in the camera. The distance and then control the focus drive to move the lens for accurate focus. Passive Auto Focus: The camera accepts reflections from the subject itself to determine the distance for autofocus. The advantage of this type of focusing is that it does not need to emit light or waves, reduce energy consumption, and can focus accurately when the light is good. The disadvantage is that focusing is difficult when the brightness and contrast of the light are insufficient. In order to overcome the above shortcomings, most cameras design Auto Focus Aid Lights, which emit light to illuminate the subject to help focus, so that passive autofocus uses a similar approach to active autofocus to overcome the brightness and contrast. Inconsistent focus caused by insufficient focus 094135088 Form No. A0101 Page 3 / Total 12 Page 1003380553-0 ^*+〇J〇100 October 100 Amendment Order Page [0004] [0005] [0006] [0007] 〇 However, "Ji's 'After moving or passive autofocus to get the distance between the camera and the subject Zhao' needs to move the lens - the distance, and the displacement of the movement control needs to identify the position of the lens in the digital camera. Otherwise, it is difficult to accurately control the movement of the lens. Most of the conventional techniques rely on calculating the amount of movement, and then the amount of movement required to move the lens by the actuator. Since the movement of the lens is not monitored in real time, the amount of movement of the lens is often not obtained. Accurate control, the difference between the ideal movement amount and the actual movement amount, resulting in poor autofocus effect.
