Abstract

The invention provides an LED stroboscopic suppression method in image sensor imaging, and the method comprises the steps: setting pixels in an image sensor pixel array as a pixel unit in a 3 * 3 structure, setting a central pixel of each pixel unit as a first group of pixels, and setting eight pixels at the periphery as a second group of pixels; wherein the first group of pixels and the second group of pixels are respectively provided with different exposure time and conversion gain, the first group of pixels is provided with longer exposure time, and the second group of pixels is provided with higher conversion gain; and the first group of pixels and the second group of pixels are exposed in one frame and are alternately output as two frames of image data line by line. The back-end processing synthesizes the two frames of images into one frame of image with a high dynamic range and outputs the image. According to the scheme provided by the invention, the flickering problem generatedby an LED signal light source when the image sensor outputs the image can be effectively inhibited, and meanwhile, the dynamic range of the image output by the image sensor can be effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image processing technology of an image sensor, in particular to a method for suppressing the stroboscopic problem generated by an LED light source in the application process of the image sensor and improving the output dynamic range at the same time. Background technique [0002] With the development and wide application of LED technology, traffic lights, car lights, and other identification lights used in our living environment can be commonly used in various scenarios. LED light source has various technical advantages such as small size, high luminous efficiency, good stability, and long service life, and has gradually replaced the use of traditional light sources in the field of lighting. Since the LED light source is driven by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation, Pulse Width Modulation), it generally flickers at a frequency above 90 Hz so that the human naked eye cannot recognize its switch and work normally.
