Describe embodiments of the present invention in detail below with reference to drawings and Examples, how the application technology means solve technical matters to the present invention whereby, and the implementation procedure of reaching technique effect can fully understand and implements according to this.
Fig. 1 obtains the principle schematic of operating body with respect to the camera deflection under the pointolite situation.As shown in Figure 1, in a rectangular area, one camera S is positioned at top left corner apex, one scattering pointolite (not shown) is positioned at this camera S place (certainly, be positioned at the near zone of this camera S, also be fine), an xsect is positioned at this rectangular area for the operating body (such as finger or pencil type apparatus) of circular (or approaching circle).In this case, the lower right on summit, this camera S place (being right side and downside) scope is the pickup area of this camera S.The light of pointolite emission, can form reflection when shining this operating body, promptly form a hot spot, therefore camera S is when images acquired, can lodge the light of this reflection, obtain the orientation of this operating body in the camera visual field, promptly by the position of identification hot spot in image, calculate hot spot in the position of image, thereby obtain the bearing range of this operating body in the pickup area of camera.By obtaining the orientation of this operating body in the camera visual field, can obtain the deflection of operating body orientation of living in respect to camera.
Fig. 1 has provided typical case's signal in the three kind orientation of operating body in the camera visual field.As shown in Figure 1, three kinds of orientation are respectively first orientation O1, second orientation O2 and third party position O3.Second orientation O2 and third party position O3 represent that respectively operating body is positioned at the lower left corner vertex position and the upper right corner vertex position of rectangular area, first orientation O1, and the expression operating body is positioned at the centre of rectangular area.Under first orientation O1 situation, in the image that camera S gathers, it is block to contain a white, and both sides are the black strip, wherein should represent this operating body by the white bulk figure, black strip representative edge circle of both sides.Under second orientation O2 situation, in the image that camera S gathers, represent the white bulk of operating body to be arranged in the leftmost side of image, represent the black strip on rectangular area bottom and border, the right to be arranged in the right side of image.Under the O3 situation of third party position, in the image that camera S gathers, represent the white bulk of operating body to be arranged in the rightmost side of image, represent the black strip of rectangular area bottom and left boundary to be arranged in the left side of image.Provided among Fig. 1 under three kinds of orientation, operating body is arranged in the signal in the camera visual field, and wherein the white bulk is represented operating body, and the black strip is represented the border.Need to prove that because the embodiment of Fig. 1 gives an example with single camera, operating body is present on the direction of camera S and present first orientation O1 line, in the image of camera collection, the position of white blocks can not change, and just has the adjustment of size; Same reason also is applicable on the line direction of S and O2, O3.Therefore operating body is in this rectangular area when mobile, and the image that can be gathered by camera S obtains the movement locus of operating body in the one-dimensional space.Certainly if the embodiment of two cameras is arranged on adjacent place, two summits with camera, can be more prone to and the accurate position of determining operating body.
As shown in Figure 1, behind the orientation of acquisition operating body in the camera visual field, can calculate and obtain first direction angle J1 and the second direction angle J2 of operating body orientation with respect to camera.In this signal, be with two edges of operating body in the camera visual field, respectively with the formed angle of boundary.Certainly, deflection also can be represented by other angles, forms one of them deflection such as a certain edge and a certain border of operating body in the camera visual field, and operating body two edges in the camera visual field form another deflection, or the like.
In rectangular area shown in Figure 1, if light source and camera S lay respectively at two diagonal positions of this square region, still be positioned at this top left corner apex such as camera S, and light source is positioned at summit, the lower right corner,,, also be in the image gathered of camera S then so operating body is a black bulk in the visual field of camera S because the light of light emitted is blocked by this operating body, black is block represents operating body, and white strip is represented the border of rectangular area.
Fig. 2 obtains the principle schematic of operating body with respect to the camera deflection under the line source situation.Camera S is positioned at the top left corner apex of a rectangular area, and the line source (not shown) is arranged at the downside border of this rectangular area.Because the light of line source emission is blocked by this operating body,, also be that black is block represents operating body in the image gathered of camera S, and white strip is represented the border of rectangular area so operating body is a black bulk in the visual field of camera S.Still be example with three orientation shown in Figure 1, operating body is when first orientation O1, second orientation O2 and third party position O3, and camera S collects three kinds of images as shown in the figure respectively.Under first orientation O1 situation, in the image that camera S gathers, contain a black bulk, both sides are white strip, wherein this black bulk figure is represented this operating body, white strip representative edge circle of both sides.Under second orientation O2 situation, in the image that camera S gathers, represent the black bulk of operating body to be arranged in the leftmost side of image, represent the white strip on border, rectangular area to be arranged in the right side of image.Under the O3 situation of third party position, in the image that camera S gathers, represent the black bulk of operating body to be arranged in the rightmost side of image, represent the white strip on border, rectangular area to be arranged in the left side of image.
In fact, the right side boundary that line source is positioned at the rectangular area also is fine, if also be the place, summit that camera is positioned at the rectangular area, then line source can be positioned at the offside border of camera.If camera is not the summit that is positioned at the rectangular area, but be positioned near centre position (mid point or mid point) on one side, rectangular area, then line source can be positioned at the not homonymy of camera, be positioned at the point midway of rectangular area left border such as camera, then line source can be positioned at right side boundary, boundary or the downside border of rectangular area.Certainly if the embodiment of two cameras is arranged on adjacent place, two summits with camera, the border of removing between two cameras is provided with three line sources, can be more prone to and the accurate position of determining operating body.
