As shown in
In the embodiment of the present application, the preset value range is 40 to 60. The dithering parameter may be set to any two values within the preset value range of 40 to 60 according to requirements in advance. For example, the dithering parameters may be set in an ascending order of the value range, or the dithering parameters may be set in a descending order of the value range. Further speaking, the quality, i.e., definition and stability, of the projection image is affected by the dithering parameters, and the quality of the projection images obtained based on different dithering parameters is different. Specifically, the dithering parameter is respectively set to at least two values within a preset value range (i.e., 40 to 60) in advance, and then projection images when the dithering parameter takes different values within the value range are acquired respectively, and then definition values of the projection images are calculated and a target dithering parameter is obtained according to the definition values of the projection images.
As an implementation of step 302, as shown in
In the embodiment of the present application, the dithering parameter includes the first dithering parameter and the second dithering parameter, and the target dithering value includes a first target dithering value and a second target dithering value. For example, for ease of understanding, the first dithering parameter is denoted by B and the second dithering parameter is denoted by D. Specifically, the first dithering parameter B is set to a first preset value of 40, and then the second dithering parameter D is respectively set to at least two values within a preset value range of 40 to 60, such as 40 and 57, and then the projection image when the first dithering parameter B is the first preset value of 40 and the second dithering parameter D is 40 as well as the projection image when the first dithering parameter B is 40 and the second dithering parameter D is 57 are acquired.
Specifically, after acquiring the projection images when the first dithering parameter is the first preset value and the second dithering parameter takes different values, the definition values of the projection images are calculated.
As an implementation of step 404, referring to
In the embodiment of the present application, the specific mark is a mark obtained by intercepting any area in the projection image, so that the obtained specific-area projection image is random; and when the specific mark is obtained, the specific mark is matched with the projection images; specifically, the specific mark is matched with each area of the projection image one by one so as to obtain the specific-area projection image containing the specific mark.
When the specific-area projection image containing the specific mark is obtained, a series of processing is performed on the specific-area projection image, thereby obtaining the processed projection image. Further speaking, firstly, Gaussian filtering is performed on the specific-area projection image to remove noise; specifically, each pixel in the specific-area projection image is scanned by a template, i.e., convolution or a mask, and then the weighted average gray value of pixels in the neighborhood determined by the template is used to replace the value of the central pixel point of the template, thereby achieving the goal of removing noise. After the noise of the specific-area projection image is removed using Gaussian filtering, Fourier transformation is performed on the de-noised specific-area projection image using a Fourier function so as to obtain the processed projection image. Using Fourier transformation to process images belongs to the prior art and will not be further described herein.
In the embodiment of the present application, the preset value is the average value of pixel points of the processed projection image, and through the preset value, high-frequency signals can be clearly distinguished from low-frequency signals; that is, signals lower than the preset value (i.e., the average value) are low-frequency signals, and signals higher than the preset value are high-frequency signals.
Specifically, firstly, the number of high-frequency signals higher than the preset value is acquired, then the total number of signals is acquired, and then the ratio of the number of high-frequency signals to the total number of signals is obtained by dividing the number of high-frequency signals by the total number of signals.
In the embodiment of the present application, the definition value of the projection image is obtained by performing logarithmic change on the ratio of the number of high-frequency signals to the total number of signals. Further speaking, as shown in
In the embodiment of the present application, the second target dithering value indicates that the definition value of the projection image is the largest, that is, the image is the clearest. When the definition value of the projection image obtained by using the second dithering parameter is the largest, the second dithering parameter is determined as the second target dithering value. Continuing with the above example, as shown in
In the embodiment of the present application, the definition of the image is influenced by the first dithering parameter and second dithering parameter, and after it is determined that the definition value of the image obtained when the second dithering parameter is 57 is the largest, the definition test is continued; for example, the second dithering parameter D is set to 57 and the first dithering parameter B is set to 40 and 41, and then the projection image when the second dithering parameter D is 57 and the first dithering parameter B is 40 as well as the projection image when the second dithering parameter D is 57 and the first dithering parameter B is 41 are acquired.
The definition of the projection images is calculated by steps 502 to 510.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first target dithering value is also used to indicate that the definition value of the projection image is the largest. Continuing with the above example, as shown in
In some embodiments, when the first dithering parameter B is 40 and the second dithering parameter D is 57, the definition value of the image is the largest, and when the second dithering parameter D is 57 and the first dithering parameter B is 41, the definition value of the image is the largest, and thus the same second dithering parameter D corresponds to different first dithering parameters B; because the definition of the image is affected by the first dithering parameter and the second dithering parameter, retesting is necessary in order to ensure that the definition value of the finally obtained projection image is the largest. Specifically, the first dithering parameter B is set to 41 to acquire the projection image when the second dithering parameter D is 57, and the second dithering parameter is set to 57 to obtain the projection image when the first dithering parameter is 40, and then the definition values are calculated by the above method; finally, it is determined that the definition value of the projection image when the first dithering parameter B is 41 and the second dithering parameter D is 57 is the largest, and then the first dithering parameter is determined as the final first target dithering value, and the second dithering parameter is determined as the final second target dithering value.
Specifically, the target dithering value is the value that makes the quality of the projection image best, that is, the target dithering parameter is the value that makes the projection image clearest and stable. After the target dithering value is obtained, the target dithering value is stored in the optical machine, which is convenient for driving the optical machine to project subsequently based on the target dithering value.
In the embodiment of the present application, the dithering parameter is respectively set to at least two values within a preset value range, then projection images when the dithering parameter takes different values are respectively acquired, and then definition values of the projection images are calculated and a target dithering value is obtained according to the definition values of the projection images, and finally the target dithering value is saved to the optical machine, so that the projection dither can be automatically adjusted to the optimal position according to the target dithering value, and the projection picture is more stable and clear.
In some embodiments, the method further includes presetting at least one of an exposure value, a gain value, a focal length, a frame number and distortion calibration data of a lens.
Specifically, in order to ensure that the projection picture acquired has the best quality, it is necessary to initialize the lens in advance and set at least one of the exposure value, the gain value, the focal length, the frame number and the distortion calibration data of the lens in the image acquisition unit.
In some embodiments, the method further includes the step of driving the optical machine to project according to the first target dithering value and the second target dithering value.
Specifically, after the first target dithering value and the second target dithering value are saved to the optical machine, the control unit controls the driving board of the optical machine so that the driving board drives the optical machine to project according to the first target dithering value and the second target dithering value, thereby making the projection picture clearer and stable.
