本公开涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种图像传感器、移动终端及拍摄方法。
目前,智能电子产品已经逐渐成为人们生活中的必需品,拍照功能作为电子产品的一项重要配置也在逐渐发展。但随着拍照功能的推广和普及,人们已经不再满足当前的智能电子产品中摄像头仅有的拍照功能,更加期望实现拍照效果多样化、玩法多样化以及功能多样化。
目前市场上,基于互补金属氧化物半导体(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor,CMOS)的图像传感器像素阵列排布中,最常用的是红色(R)绿色(G)蓝色(B)拜耳像素阵列排布模式,如图1a所示,但此种排布方式不能检测物体距离,且只能用于接受自然光,在正常光照时拍照记录图像。
全像素双核对焦(Dual PhotoDiode,2PD)技术的像素阵列排布模式如图1b和图1c所示,此种排布方式也只能用于接受自然光,用于拍照记录图像,但相对相位检测自动对焦(Phase Detection Auto Focus,PDAF)技术方案,可以增加检测物体距离,更加快速的完成对焦动作。
其中2PD相位检测技术原理说明如下:由图1b和图1c可见,像素阵列中部分R,G和B子像素被一分为二,根据不同入射方向获取的光能量不一样,从而左边子像素点和右边子像素点即构成一对相位检测对;当左边子像素点和右边子像素点亮度值均达到相对最大峰值时,此刻图像相对最清晰,即为合焦,然后通过算法计算获得物距,从而实现快速对焦。
综上所述,CMOS的图像传感器像素阵列排布中无法检测物体距离且只 能接受自然光,2PD技术的像素阵列排布中虽然可以检测物体距离,但是仅可接受自然光,因此相关技术中的图像传感器的像素阵列排布模式,存在拍摄场景受限、对焦缓慢,影响用户拍摄体验的问题。

其中,移动终端上的红外发射模块52设置于透镜模组512的周缘。红外 发射模块52发出红外线,红外线在遇到障碍物后会发生反射;当成像***51捕捉到反射回来的红外光线后,经过红外子像素进行光电转换,可获取红外线从发射到接收到红外线的时间差,由于光的传播速度固定,从而可以计算出障碍物距离移动终端的距离,最终可获取障碍物上每个极小单位到移动终端的距离,实现立体成像记录功能。当然还可以通过获取红外光相位差的方式,获取障碍物上各个红外光反射点与移动终端之间的距离。

步骤602、根据待拍摄对象所反射的红外光获取待拍摄对象上各个红外光反射点与移动终端之间的距离。
在获取待拍摄对象与移动终端之间的距离时,实际为获取待拍摄对象与成像面之间的距离,获取待拍摄对象上各个红外光反射点与移动终端之间的距离的过程为:通过包含第二像素的像素阵列接收待拍摄对象上各个红外光反射点所反射的红外光;根据发送与接收红外光的时间差以及红外光的传播速度或者通过获取红外光的相位差,获取待拍摄对象上各个红外光反射点与移动终端之间的距离。
当捕捉到反射回来的红外光线后,经过红外子像素进行光电转换,可获取红外线从发射到接收到红外线的时间差,由于光的传播速度固定,从而可 以根据时间差与传播速度乘积的1/2计算出障碍物距离移动终端的距离。其中移动终端接收到各个红外光反射点反射红外光的时间有所区别,针对每一个红外光反射点可以对应计算一距离,进而可以获得各个红外光反射点与移动终端之间的距离。还可以通过获取红外光的相位差获取各个红外光反射点与移动终端之间的距离,其中通过获取红外光的相位差的方式获取各个红外光反射点与移动终端之间的距离时,可以参见飞行时间(Time Of Flight,TOF)技术,在此不再详细阐述。
