  • In order to enhance the auto-focusing capability of a imaging system, a difference image extraction method is proposed. Meanwhile, a evaluation function based on wavelets and a region selecting technique using Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) are given. The principle and superiority of the difference image extraction method are introduced. Then a selecting criterion and a searching method using PSO for region evaluation are described, and the parameters for wavelet based evaluation function are compared and optimized. Finally, emulation experiments are practiced to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of traditional and proposed methods. Results indicate that the proposed method can offer a higher resolution to the focusing curve due to the difference image extraction, new focusing window and focus evaluation. Moreover, it has improved the focusing speed by 170 ms and provided the focusing precision about 2.3 m. Furthermore, its focusing effects are always satisfactory with different initial positions.
