Automatic focusing method for digital camera

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic focusing method of a digital camera; the main program of the automatic focusing method thereof comprises the following steps: step one: the connection end of a lens hardware is defined for determining the circulation of control signals; step two: the position of the lens is initialized; step three: large-step overall scanning is carried out; step four: the optimal evaluation function value of a first focusing window is obtained; step five: the embedded focusing window is converted by a short-step scanning; step six: whether the position for the largest value of the evaluation function is reached is judged; if the position for the largest value of the evaluation function is reached, step seven is then carried out; if not, the step five is carried out again; and step seven: the optimal position is determined and the search is ended. By using the automatic focusing algorithm which is designed by the method of the invention, precise focusing can be realized by quickly switching the focusing windows, moreover, as the design for a golden section point nested focusing window greatly accelerates the search speed of the optimal focusing position and the imaging aesthetics need is also greatly met, the rapid focusing aesthetic imaging performance of consumption-typed cameras is really achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a digital camera automatic focus control system, in particular to an automatic focus method for a digital camera. Background technique [0002] At present, as digital cameras and digital video cameras gradually enter people's daily life, such products can be seen everywhere in the market, and gradually become one of the hot spots of sales. However, whether it is a digital camera, a digital video camera, or a camera phone with an auto-focus function, there are very few designs from mainland China, and the market is almost always dominated by foreign products. [0003] As a key technology of the imaging system, autofocus technology was first applied to the camera system in the 1970s. Most of the traditional focusing techniques are based on the principle of distance measurement, such as ultrasonic distance measurement, reflected energy method and some methods based on triangulation. The distance principle method; With the develop...

However, for some autofocus algorithms that exist today, the focus time of the 5x or more optical zoom lens barrel continues to shorten and the imaging becomes clearer due to the increase in the number of pixels. The scope of application of taking pictures of consumer digital cameras and mobile phone cameras and the use of continuous shooting functions, the present invention is based on this research and development of a digital camera auto-focus method with high-speed auto-focus and high-definition
