Design of a High-Frame-Rate and Large-Grayscale Simulation Projection System Based on Digital Micromirror Devices

Abstract

With the increasing acquisition speed of image sensors, it has become necessary to provide image sources with higher frame rates and grayscale in order to meet testing requirements. In the field of semi-physical simulation projection, digital micromirror devices are often chosen for their high resolution, uniformity, response speed, and energy concentration. In this study, we utilized digital micromirror devices to construct a high-frame-rate and large-grayscale simulation projection system. To achieve our experiment goals, we employed two digital micromirror devices. One DMD was used to modulate the light intensity of the light source, while the other generated images with different bit planes. By projecting the target images onto the image sensor, we were able to achieve a frame rate of 1611 hz for the projected 12-bit image. This system meets the requirements for our experiment design and ensures the accurate testing of image sensors.
