Object of the present invention and feature, can understand by the explanation of the preferred embodiment after carrying out together with the accompanying drawing with following.
The Lighting Control Assembly 1 of embodiments of the present invention as shown in Figure 1, possesses illumination control apparatus 2 and lighting load 3.This Lighting Control Assembly 1 is arranged on ceiling surface C as shown in Fig. 2 (a).
Light-emitting diode) or fluorescent lamp etc. lighting load 3 is such as being LED (Light Emitting Diode:, light a lamp, and irradiate predefined region A by the electric power of being supplied with by AC power (not shown).In addition, as AC power, such as there being source power supply (civil power) of voltage 100V etc.
Illumination control apparatus 2 as shown in Figure 1, possesses imageing sensor 4, image processing part 5, storage part 6, light accepting part (acceptance division) 7 and lighting control device 8.If there is people B to exist in region A (with reference to Fig. 2), 2 pairs of lighting loads 3 of illumination control apparatus control of lighting a lamp.
Imageing sensor 4 possesses image pickup part 41, transformation component 42,43He adjustment part, enlarging section 44.Imageing sensor 4, by action described later, generates the photographed images of 30 left and right per second, and the view data of photographed images is carried out to data transmission to image processing part 5 at any time.
Image pickup part 41 is such as being the video camera that the imaging apparatus (semiconductor camera element) that uses charge coupled cell (CCD) or CMOS etc. to arrange a plurality of photo detectors is made a video recording to region A (with reference to Fig. 2).The light value that is subject to of each photo detector is the larger electric weight of the larger value of light quantity, and is the analogue value.
Transformation component 42 is transformed to numerical data by the light value that is subject to of each photo detector from analogue data.The numerical data that is subject to light value of each photo detector outputs to enlarging section 43 from transformation component 42.
Enlarging section 43 is for example ISP (Image Signal Processor: image-signal processor), will be transformed to amplified by light value and forming a plurality of output valves of digital value by transformation component 42.Output valve 43 outputs to image processing part 5 as the view data of photographed images from enlarging section.
Gain G, such as consisting of computer etc., under the 1st pattern described later, is adjusted by AGC, so that the mean value of whole output valves of enlarging section 43 becomes certain value in adjustment part 44.So-called gain G, be enlarging section 43 whole output valves mean value be all subject to the ratio of the mean value of light value.On the other hand, under the 2nd pattern described later, enlarging section 43 is fixed as predefined fiducial value by gain G.
In the Lighting Control Assembly 1 of present embodiment, because being contrasts bright load 3 control of lighting a lamp with people detection phase interlock, so the people detection during light-off of lighting load 3 is very important.But during the light-off of lighting load 3, in the less situation of light, region A is dimmed out of doors.That is, the light value that is respectively subject to from image pickup part 41 becomes small.At this, in the Lighting Control Assembly 1 of present embodiment, the in the situation that of the 1st pattern, adjustment part 44 utilizes AGC to adjust gain G, and enlarging section 43 will suitably be amplified by light value respectively, thereby can guarantee the lightness of photographed images.Therefore,, when image processing part 5 detects people B (with reference to Fig. 2 (a)) as described later, enlarging section 43 can provide to image processing part 5 view data of the photographed images of suitable lightness.
Fig. 3 illustrates the relation of lightness (average brightness value) D of gain G and the photographed images of enlarging section 43.For example current relation is made as to point * 3 of Fig. 3.In the variation because of outdoor light, the lightness D of photographed images is from D0 to D1, and in situation about changing to dimmed direction (point * 2 of Fig. 3), enlarging section 43 makes gain G slowly increase from current G1 by AGC.Thus, the lightness D of photographed images is slowly close to D0.In the moment (point * 3 of Fig. 3) that reaches the lightness D0 equal with point * 1, enlarging section 43 stops the increase of gain G, afterwards gain G is maintained to G2.
Image processing part 5 shown in Fig. 1 is obtained view data from the enlarging section 43 of imageing sensor 4, by the view data obtaining, comes whether have people B (with reference to Fig. 2 (a)) to exist in surveyed area A.As image processing part 5, the semiconductor device that use can highly be processed (such as DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or height image processor etc.).Image processing part 5 is equivalent to test section of the present invention.
Utilize Fig. 4 that the action of image processing part 5 is described.The view data of certain photographed images (photographed images that in the A of region, nobody B exists) the constantly as a setting view data of image P2 (with reference to Fig. 4 (b)) is stored in storage part 6.That is, by the photographed images of the state that in the A of region, really nobody B exists image P2 as a setting all the time.As storage part 6, such as using the volatibility mass storages such as DDRAM (Display Data RAM) etc.
If the view data as the present image P1 (with reference to Fig. 4 (a)) of up-to-date photographed images is sent to image processing part 5 from imageing sensor 4, image processing part 5 is obtained the difference of brightness value by each pixel and is generated difference image P3 (with reference to Fig. 4 (c)) between present image P1 and background image P2.Between present image P1 and background image P2, all (the brightness value of pixels does not almost have in vicissitudinous situation, the situation of the difference brightness value separately of whole pixels below setting), the brightness value of whole pixels of difference image P3 is set as " 0 ".On the other hand, have people B to exist in because of region A, thereby between present image P1 and background image P2, exist in the situation of the pixel that brightness value changes, the brightness value that has some pixels in difference image P3 is not " 0 ".Brightness value in 5 couples of difference image P3 of image processing part is not the image of " 0 ", detects total number and continuously or the size of the set of adjacency etc., if these values surpass predefined threshold value, in determinating area A, has people B to exist.At this moment, the detection signal of the existence of people B from image processing part 5 to lighting control device 8 output expressions, detected.
In addition,, as the establishing method of the background image P2 based on image processing part 5, also have other multiple.As general method, for example, there is image processing part 5 by the up-to-date photographed images method that image P2 upgrades by time series as a setting one by one.
Light accepting part 7 shown in Fig. 1 receives operation signal from remote control (hereinafter referred to as " remote control ") 9.Operation signal comprises the operation information relevant to content of operation remote control 9 being operated by user.As remote control 9, use suitably by the infrared remote controller of infrared ray operation signal, or the electric wave remote control by radio wave operation signal etc.
Lighting control device 8 consists of computer and lamp circuit, has the 2nd pattern that whether has the 1st pattern of people B and the lightness of control area A in surveyed area A, and has the function that the 1st pattern and the 2nd pattern are switched mutually.
Lighting control device 8 is under the 1st pattern, if receive people detection signal from image processing part 5, the power supply that lighting load 3 is started to light a lamp and needed, carries out brightness adjustment control etc. to reach the lightness of regulation to lighting load 3.
In addition, lighting control device 8, under the 2nd pattern, is obtained the information of the brightness value of each pixel in present image P1, and lighting load 3 is carried out to brightness adjustment control so that average brightness value is contained in predefined target zone.At this, lighting control device 8 is using the mean value of not taking the brightness value comprising in people's pixel coverage in present image P1 as average brightness value.The so-called pixel coverage of not taking people, refers in the difference image P3 of the difference as described present image P1 and background image P2, the scope of the pixel of brightness value below setting, and the difference of brightness value etc. is almost the scope of the pixel of " 0 ".
Further, lighting control device 8 needs the target zone of the lightness of setting regions A (with reference to Fig. 2).Therefore, lighting control device 8 has: common control model, conventionally move (people detection and lightness are controlled); And set model, the target zone of the lightness of setting regions A (with reference to Fig. 2).The setting of target zone need to be from common control mode switch to set model.As the triggering signal that is switched to set model, be set with the setting signal of one of operation signal from remote control 9.For target zone, in the situation that the irradiation by lighting load 3 realizes predefined lightness (being the lightness of the dimming ratio based on setting in the present embodiment) under the state that in the A of region, outdoor light is blocked, preset target zone so that the average brightness value of photographed images becomes the median of target zone.
In addition, the specified signal of one of remote control 9 operation signal, when light accepting part 7 receives described specified signal, carries out the adjusting of light output of lighting load 3 and the decision of the lightness of hobby by lighting control device.
Then, utilize Fig. 5 that the action of the Lighting Control Assembly 1 of present embodiment is described.First, Lighting Control Assembly 1 is supplied with to electric power (S1 of Fig. 5).If light accepting part 7 receives setting signal (S2) from remote control 9, Lighting Control Assembly 1 is transferred to set model (S3).Afterwards, under the state being blocked at the outdoor light to region A, the lightness information of user's hobby is input to light accepting part 7 (S4) from remote control 9.In the present embodiment, be made as under the state that light is blocked out of doors and input lightness information, but be not limited to this.That is, user also can be in the lightness information that has input hobby under the state of outdoor light.The lightness information (being dimming ratio the present embodiment) that lighting control device 8 receives from remote control 9 based on light accepting part 7, carries out brightness adjustment control (S5) to lighting load 3.At this moment, the average brightness value of the photographed images of region A is made as desired value Dt, target setting scope so that desired value Dt become median and store this target zone (S6).Afterwards, from set model, be switched to common control model (S7).On the other hand, in step S2, in the situation that light accepting part 7 does not receive setting signal from remote control 9, transfer to common control model (S7)
Then,, in the Lighting Control Assembly 1 of present embodiment, utilize Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 that the action of common control model is described.The Lighting Control Assembly 1 of present embodiment timesharing ground under common control model repeatedly carries out people detection (S11 of Fig. 6) and (S12) controlled in lightness.
As lightness, control, as shown in Figure 7, lighting control device 8 is obtained the information (S21 of Fig. 7) of the brightness value of whole pixels in photographed images.The average brightness value D and the desired value Dt (S22) that relatively according to the information of the brightness value of the whole pixels that obtain at step S21, obtain.If luminance difference | D-Dt| is ((1-σ) Dt≤D≤(1+ σ) Dt) below σ %, does not do any processing, finishes lightness and controls.
On the other hand, in luminance difference | D-Dt| is greater than σ %, and in the situation of D < Dt (being "Yes" in S23), lighting control device 8 is measured the light output (S24) that improves lighting load 3 in accordance with regulations.After having carried out the processing of step S24, carry out step S22.In luminance difference | D-Dt| is greater than σ %, and in the situation of D > Dt (being "No" in S23), amount reduces the light output (S25) of lighting load 3 in accordance with regulations.After having carried out the processing of step S25, carry out step S22.Until luminance difference | it is following that D-Dt| becomes σ %, continues step S22 to the processing of step S25, if luminance difference | and D-Dt| becomes below σ %, finishes lightness and controls.
By above-mentioned action, average brightness value D and desired value Dt can be adjusted to almost identical target zone, so the lightness that makes the lightness of region A approach the hobby of initial setting under the state of outdoor light can comprised.
For example, as shown in Fig. 8 (a), there is no under the environment of outdoor light, the lightness of region A to be made as the lightness of user's hobby, by storage average brightness value D at this moment, target setting value.In Fig. 8 (a), user the light output of lighting load 3 is set as all lighting a lamp for example 70%, average brightness value D is at this moment made as to desired value Dt.After target setting value Dt, from set model, switch to common control model.Afterwards, as shown in Fig. 8 (b), inject in the situation of outdoor light, region A brightens, and average brightness value D becomes D2 (D2 > Dt).At this moment, lighting control device 8 reduces the light output of lighting load 3 to reach the mode of desired value Dt, thereby reduces average brightness value D.Until average brightness value D becomes the light output that desired value Dt reduces lighting load 3, at average brightness value D, become the moment of desired value Dt, make the light stable output of lighting load 3.In the example of Fig. 8, the light output by making lighting load 3 from all light a lamp 70% be reduced to all light a lamp 50%, make average brightness value D reach desired value Dt.In addition, in the A of region, have in the situation of people B existence, adjust the light output (with reference to Fig. 8 (c)) of lighting load 3 so that reach desired value Dt except being judged as the average brightness value D of the pixel the pixel that people detected from D2.
According to the above description, as shown in Figure 9, even in the situation that light is injected out of doors, average brightness value D rises, the light that reduces lighting load 3 by ignition device 8 is exported, and average brightness value D is reduced.That is, the arrow as Fig. 9, moves to point * 10 from point * 11.
The Lighting Control Assembly 1 of present embodiment, carries out to timesharing as mentioned above people detection (the 1st pattern) and lightness and controls (the 2nd pattern).That is, after people detection, carry out lightness control.In addition,, if entered lightness control, but people do not detected,, after official hour, lighting control device 8 is turned off the light lighting load 3, proceeds people detection.
During lightness is controlled, use the image collection by the photographed images of people detection processing of carrying out before and the people B of extraction, measure the average brightness value of all images except being judged as the image that people detected, by this value and desired value comparison.Its result, reduces the light output of lighting load 3 as correcting process during higher than desired value, increase the light output of lighting load 3 during lower than desired value as correcting process.The example of Figure 10 for average brightness value β is carried out to the correction of setting δ.Carry out and revise when carrying out people detection at every turn, approach final desired value α (δ > 0 in the situation of β < α, δ < 0 in the situation of β > α).At this moment, desired value α is set to fixing permissible range as target zone, if average brightness value β is contained in target zone, finish to revise.
Above, according to present embodiment, detecting while having people B to exist in the A of region lights a lamp lighting load 3, on the other hand the gain of enlarging section 43 is fixed on to predefined fiducial value and detects the lightness of described region A, thereby can enough single imageing sensors 4 (image pickup part 41, enlarging section 43) realize people detection and lightness is controlled these two.Thus, according to present embodiment, can seek the simplification of illumination control apparatus 2.
In addition, according to present embodiment, lighting control device 8 is when carrying out lightness control, owing to only using the brightness value of not taking people's pixel coverage in present image P1, so can remove the pixel coverage that the change of brightness value is larger, improve the precision that lightness is controlled.
In addition, as modified embodiment of the present embodiment, lighting control device 8 is under the 2nd pattern, the average brightness value of use when brightness adjustment control is carried out in bright load 3 in contrast, can adopt the mean value of brightness value of whole pixels of present image P1, also can adopt the mean value of the brightness value of the pixel coverage (pixel coverage predetermining) that almost nobody exists.In addition, also can replace by the light intensity of region A the lightness information of user's hobby during set model.
The specific embodiment of the present invention of take is above illustrated as main, but also can within the scope of main points of the present invention and additional claim, in this technical field, be out of shape, change or revise, therefore aforesaid explanation and accompanying drawing are not to limit technological thought of the present invention, but explain the present invention by illustration.
