Description

Dual inductor thermal camera and control method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of video monitoring, relate in particular to a kind of dual inductor thermal camera and control method thereof.
Background technology
Along with the raising of people's security consciousness, various security monitoring video cameras are widely used.In order to realize round-the-clock 24 hours continuous monitorings, night, recording function was very necessary.Realize the method for night vision, can adopt conventional visible illumination, but this method not only can not be hidden, on the contrary exposure monitoring target more.Hidden night vision monitoring all is to adopt infrared camera technology at present.
The visible light that people's eyes can be seen (wavelength 0.38 μ m-0.76 μ m) is arranged from growing to lacking by wavelength and is followed successively by red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple.Ultraviolet ray, infrared ray, these two kinds of light human eyes are invisible than the longer light of red light wavelength than the shorter light of violet wavelength.The induction spectrum that video camera is used for receiving the photoinduction device (CCD or CMOS) of extraneous light there are differences with human eye usually, often covering visible light and infrared ray subband.Usually, traditional cameras can add an infrared fileter before optical inductor, and filtering infrared light composition is in order to the colour cast of avoiding causing because of infrared spectrum.In like manner, thermal camera is to add one can see through infrared ray, the filter of filtering visible light before optical inductor.
If need video camera to record by day the normal picture of color, need to before optical inductor, add infrared fileter; If record at night infrared video, then need to add the infrared filter that sees through.Like this, if the video camera of a single inductor needs all weather operations in 24 hours, need to carry out the switching of filter.Tradition day and night video camera is to adopt a mechanical device that filter is switched, because the resistance to wear of mechanical device is not very high, and failure rate is high, and reliability can't guarantee.
In order to address this problem, the dual inductor thermal camera has appearred recently.The principle of dual inductor thermal camera is in fact very simple, just two video camera amalgamations are in same shell, utilize a photo resistance to switch, daytime, used one was stained with the ultrared filter of complete filtering, that that open evening do not have filter, just common glass sheet is repaired light, and it has just replaced mechanical switching with opto-electronic conversion in fact.The thermal camera of dual inductor structure has the following advantages: 1, two video cameras one on duty in turn, a day shift, a night shift can prolong useful life of video camera.2, adopt the light of special inductor induction different-waveband, be conducive to improve the color rendition degree of video camera.
Dual inductor thermal camera so far is that two video camera amalgamations are in same shell, because two inductor supervisors' camera lens is in same plane, between shine take the photograph angle and scope distinct, therefore, the monitoring place of imaging on the display is that other is arranged minute.When needs were monitored a certain specific region, current dual inductor thermal camera can't be realized.And because the zone is different, the continuity in the time of can't guaranteeing Picture switch.
Chinese patent CN101510007B has proposed " a kind of infrared light image and visible images real time shooting and self-adapting fusing device ".The device of this patent Introduction, to utilize half-reflecting half mirror that visible light is separated with infrared light, project respectively on two CCD, on two CCD, obtain simultaneously infrared light image and visible images, and process by external image pick-up card and computer, realize the self adaptation of infrared light image and visible images.This covering device utilizes the half-reflection and half-transmission device that visible light is separated with infrared light, so that two kinds of images of Same Scene have very strong uniformity.But this device needs complicated external equipment and data to calculate, and needs higher cost, is applicable to scientific research, can't adapt to small and exquisite, quick, the portable characteristics of rig camera.Simultaneously, this equipment is the image that receives simultaneously two kinds of spectrum, and rig camera does not need the spectrum picture fusion function of this complexity.
