Can know through above-mentioned argumentation; The control method of the terminal motion of execution arm provided by the present invention; Can be directly through initial pictures and the identification image that obtains in real time analysis relatively; Obtain the real-time displacement of sign, and then know the real-time displacement of carrying out the arm end, the instruction of arm motion is carried out in output control.Directly compare calculation mode,, have higher degree of accuracy with respect to utilizing a plurality of sensor data signals stack calculation mode in the prior art through image; And the present invention only is provided with sign at execution arm end, need not so possess higher measurement stability and security, to be applicable to the complicated abominable occasion of operating mode in carrying out the terminal sensor installation type of electrical component of arm.
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram that first kind of embodiment of the terminal movement technique of arm carried out in control provided by the present invention.
This embodiment, step S21), be provided with the terminal sign that moves of execution arm, and camera be set in the position that can be observed the terminal motion of said execution arm, also the window near-end at camera is provided with scale;
Be arranged at the near-end of window, guarantee that promptly scale all the time can be through the camera imaging, the position relation of scale and camera keeps constant; Promptly under the constant situation of focal length; The imaging size of scale equates all the time, when focal length changes, also can calculate the variation of focal length based on the variation of scale imaging size; So that accurately calculate the variation of the sign imaging size that causes owing to focal length variations, make the graphical analysis of sign have stable referential.The set-up mode of scale has multiple, such as, scale can be fixed in the place ahead of cam lens, also can be located at the inside of camera, and scale can also be fixed with miscellaneous part, guarantees it lens location with respect to camera is constant to get final product.
Correspondingly, step S22) in, camera obtains the image that comprises sign and scale;
Because scale can form images all the time, so the image that camera obtains comprises sign and scale simultaneously, certainly, under the situation that sign moves, in the different images constantly of acquisition, the relative position relation and the relative size of sign and scale all possibly produce dynamic change.
Correspondingly, step S23) in, the initial position that prestores comprises the initial pictures of sign and scale, comparative analysis initial pictures and the image that comprises sign and scale that obtains in real time calculate and obtain to carry out the terminal real-time displacement of initial position relatively of arm.

Step S24) carries out the terminal motion of arm based on carrying out the terminal real-time displacement control of arm.With step S14) identical.
Please refer to Fig. 3, the process flow diagram of second kind of embodiment of the terminal movement technique of arm is carried out in Fig. 3 control provided by the present invention.Comprise the steps:
Step S31) be provided with the terminal sign that moves of execution arm, and in the position that can be observed the terminal motion of said execution arm camera be set, also the window near-end at camera is provided with scale;
Step S32) camera obtains the image that comprises sign and scale;
Step S33), the adjustment camera at initial position, makes the window center of camera aim at the center of sign.
Be with the difference of first kind of embodiment, increased this step.After adding this step; In initialization procedure, can adjust the height or the angle of camera, make the camera window aim at the center of sign as far as possible; The initial pictures of the sign that then obtains is positioned at the middle part of entire image; So still in the cam lens coverage, the error of calculation is also relatively low simultaneously in its imaging behind the mobile certain distance of sign.
Step S34) initial position that prestores comprises the sign and the initial pictures of scale, and comparative analysis initial pictures and the image that comprises sign and scale that obtains in real time calculate the real-time displacement that obtains the relative initial position of execution arm end;
Step S35) carries out the terminal motion of arm based on carrying out the terminal real-time displacement control of arm.Step S34) with step S23) identical, step S35) with step S24) and step S14) identical.
Please refer to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the synoptic diagram that first kind of concrete account form of the terminal movement technique of arm carried out in control provided by the present invention.
This concrete account form is with sign 10 the initial imaging and the imaging of other imaging and scales 20 constantly Calculation Method of comparing; For ease of calculating sign 10 left and right displacement and upper and lower displacement (the vertically displacement of short transverse); Can sign 10 horizontal rulers that are set to intersect 201 and vertical scale 202 (cruciform scale) be equivalent to set up the perpendicular coordinate system.During processing; Can measure the height A 1 of the upper end of sign 10 initial imagings to horizontal ruler 201, the lower end of sign 10 initial imagings is to the height B 1 of horizontal ruler 201, and sign 10 initial imaging one ends are to vertical scale 202 length D1; The angle Q1 of sign 10 initial imagings and horizontal ruler 201; And the sign 10 imaging two ends in a certain moment are respectively A2, B2 to the height of horizontal ruler 201, and one of which end to the vertical length of scale 202 is D2, with the angle of horizontal ruler 201 be Q2; The physical length of sign 10 is L, then can calculate the distance Y that moves up and down of carrying out the terminal initial position relatively of arm through following formula:
Y=Y2-Y1;
Y1=L×SINQ1×(A1-B1)/(A1+B1);
Y2=L×SINQ2×(A1-B1)/(A1+B1);
This method can also be calculated through following formula and carry out the terminal move left and right distance X of initial position relatively of arm:
X=X2-X1;
X1=L×SINQ1×D1/(A1+B1);
X2=L×SINQ2×D2/(A2+B2)。
In fact, above-mentioned angle Q1 and Q2 also can draw through height and the length computation that identifies 10 imagings, correspondingly, through angle and the length of measuring, also can draw the height of imaging, and the aforementioned calculation method can be provided with flexibly.To the accuracy requirement of upper and lower displacement and left and right displacement when all higher; Can identify 10 structure and be set to the cruciform sign; Promptly comprise vertical sign and level sign; These computing method are identical with the principle of first kind of account form, and difference only is the vertical sign imaging calculating that the upper and lower displacement basis is roughly vertically extended, and left and right displacement is according to the level sign imaging calculating of roughly along continuous straight runs extension.
When before and after carrying out the arm end, producing displacement; The size of sign 10 imagings can change; Corresponding width and length all can change; Can make conventional Flame Image Process (like processing modes such as the size that forms images, binocular range findings) through imaging law separately and calculate the front and back displacement, can also comprehensively take methods realization longitudinal separations such as laser ranging, infrared distance measurement to measure.Certainly; When front and back produced displacement, the aforementioned calculation formula also need be done suitable distortion, can measure the length of sign 10 initial imagings; The imaging length in a certain moment; Through the variation relation of two length values, revise the input variable in the above-mentioned formula, and then elimination moves forward and backward the error of calculation of being brought; Certainly, when length changes and influences above certain limit, also can reinitialize program, with new position point as a reference.
Please refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is the synoptic diagram that second kind of concrete account form of the terminal movement technique of arm carried out in control provided by the present invention.
In this account form, sign 10 is set to grating 101 forms, and the width of every group of grating 101 can require design according to control accuracy, and (such as control accuracy is 0.1 meter; Grating 101 width can be designed to 0.05 meter); Certainly, grating 101 width should be tried one's best widelyer satisfying under the prerequisite of control accuracy, be convenient to imaging analysis; Scale 20 is the level of state, and the scale imaging can be held a grating 101.If grating 101 width are A, it is M that grating 101 moves quantity, through the graphical analysis in the initial pictures and a certain moment, can draw the mobile quantity of grating 101, then identifies upper and lower displacement L=A * M of 10.Sign imaging shown in the figure is roughly vertically extended; When needing the measurement left and right displacement, can sign 10 be set to have level sign and the structure that vertically identifies, and all be made as raster mode; When then calculating left and right displacement, identical with the calculating principle of upper and lower displacement.When before and after carrying out the arm end, producing displacement, can carry out error compensation according to the imaging change width deflection scale position of grating.
Certainly, according to the difference of sign 10 forms, can also obtain the displacement of sign 10 by other account forms.
In above-mentioned two kinds of account forms, all with the imaging of scale 20 as a reference, in fact, also can in the image processing process in later stage, virtual scale be set.Need to prove; When scale 20 is fixed on other structures; Even camera 100 has slight jitter, it is stable that the angle of the imaging of scale 20 still keeps, so the entity scale of setting 20 is with respect to virtual scale; Can be all the time exactly as the normative reference that identifies 10 image change, so the scale that scale 20 forms references preferably is set.
Please refer to Fig. 6, Fig. 6 is the synoptic diagram that terminal the third the concrete account form of movement technique of arm is carried out in control provided by the present invention.
In this account form, camera 100 is in tracking mode, makes corresponding angular turn with the change of sign 10 positions, the centre position of real-time follow-up sign 10.According to the image of taking; In the time of can obtaining initial position; Camera 100 to sign 10 center apart from S1; A certain moment camera 100 to the sign 10 centers apart from S2; And can obtain level angle P2, vertical angle Q2 (, setting up the XYZ three-dimensional system of coordinate among the figure) under camera 100 level angle P1, vertical angle Q1 and the current state by the angular transducer of being located on the camera 100 for ease of understanding, then can calculate the distance Y that moves up and down of carrying out the terminal initial position relatively of arm through following formula:
Y=Y1-Y2;
Y1=S1×SINQ1;
Y2=S2×SINQ2;
Carry out the terminal move left and right distance X of initial position relatively of arm:
X = X 1 2 + X 2 2 - 2 X 1 × X 2 × COSP ;
X1=S1×COSQ1;
X2=S2×COSQ2;
P=|P2-P1|;
Carry out terminal the moving forward and backward of initial position relatively of arm apart from Z
Z=Z1-Z2;
Z1=S1×COSQ1×SINP1;
Z2=S2×COSQ2×SINP2;
In the third account form, the distance that identifies between 10 centers and the camera 100 can draw through the imaging of analytical calculation scale 20 with sign 10, also can obtain through image analysis methods such as dual camera range findings.
In addition, to above-mentioned each embodiment, step S14) in, can also be according to the focal length of the image control camera 100 of the sign of obtaining in real time 10.When predefined focal length possibly can't obtain sign 10 images that satisfy the sharpness requirement, can control camera 100 zooms, during analytical calculation, the image size variation amount that zoom causes is introduced in the computing formula.
The foregoing description all builds on, and camera is positioned at and can be observed the position of carrying out the terminal motion of arm, and it is less to carry out the terminal actuating range of arm.Change when carrying out the terminal construction location of arm, and luffing is when big, camera possibly can't continue to observe carries out the terminal motion of arm, can at least two cameras be set in whole perform region.Carry out perform region around the arm end and refer to carry out the arm end in any zone that certain position can reach; Two above cameras are set, can enlarge carrying out the terminal monitoring range of arm, a plurality of cameras are set after; Carry out arm action in any direction; All there is corresponding camera that it is monitored, can obtains continuous position signalling, regulation and control wider.
Above account form can calculate easily carries out the terminal top to bottom, left and right, front and rear displacement of arm, and at initial position, selected certain position is a true origin, then can set up the three dimensional space coordinate system of sign.Monitoring the location parameter of sign in real time based on the displacement of calculating, when needs sign conversion work position of platform, can be reference with this parameter, and accurately the control execution arm end that has a sign moves to the optional position in the working region.
In fact, in carrying out the perform region of arm, can possibly work (the terminal perform region of a plurality of execution arms overlaps) by a plurality of execution arm ends, a plurality of cameras that then can be provided with can be controlled the movement locus of a plurality of execution arms simultaneously, realize that accurate intellectuality controls.
Except above-mentioned control method, the present invention also provides a kind of control system of carrying out the terminal motion of arm.Please refer to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, Fig. 7 is the structural representation of a kind of embodiment of the terminal kinetic control system of execution arm provided by the present invention; Fig. 8 is the control principle synoptic diagram of control system among Fig. 7.
