Benefits of technology

The invention provides an exposure control method and apparatus that uses structured lights to capture images of an object. The method involves projecting the object with different brightnesses of light to create a scanning pattern. The first and second images are then captured and stitched together to create a complete stereo image. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more precise and accurate method for exposure control in image capture.

Problems solved by technology

The existing time-coded structured lights are able to provide considerably delicate scanning results.
Nevertheless, when the structured lights with the patterns are projected onto the surface of the object, overexposure may lead to erroneous stereo information; alternatively, low confidence caused by underexposure may cause the high error rate of calculating the stereo information.

Abstract

A structured-light-based exposure control method and an exposure control apparatus are provided. The exposure control method includes projecting a plurality of structured lights with a plurality of scanning patterns by a projector with a first projector brightness on an object to scan the object, capturing a plurality of first images of the object corresponding to the scanning patterns, calculating a first stereo image according to the first images, projecting the structured lights with the scanning patterns by the projector with a second projector brightness on the object to scan the object, capturing a plurality of second images of the object corresponding to the scanning patterns, wherein the second projector brightness is less than the first projector brightness, calculating a second stereo image according to the second images, and stitching the first stereo image and the second stereo image to obtain a first complete stereo image.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the priority benefit of China application serial no. 201611209441.8, filed on Dec. 23, 2016.
