In one embodiment, provide a kind of outdoor automatic travelling device control method based on family's garden, for controlling the as above automatic travelling device of arbitrary embodiment.Wherein, this automatic travelling device comprises: housing, walking module and image capture module; Walking module is installed on housing, and image capture module is installed on housing; As shown in Figure 6, the method comprises the following steps:
Step 602, in the time that automatic travelling device is walked on working surface, by the image on image capture module continuous acquisition working surface.
Particularly, in the time that automatic travelling device is walked on working surface, by image capture module according to the image on default sampling time interval continuous acquisition working surface.The default sampling time interval here at least will ensure that 2 images that acquisition time is adjacent have overlapping.In one embodiment, image capture module can be positioned at a side of the close working surface of housing, and it gathers direction towards working surface, so that gather automatic travelling device bottom, image capture module below, image under particularly.The pattern distortion that this kind of mode gathers acquisition is little, is convenient to subsequent treatment.In other embodiments, image capture module also can be positioned at optional position on housing, only need to ensure that image capture module can collect the image on working surface, such as image capture module can be positioned on housing opposing in a side of working surface or towards a side of automatic travelling device direction of travel.
In one embodiment, when image capture module is positioned at a side of the close working surface of housing, and it gathers direction in the time of working surface, distance between image capture module and working surface is more than or equal to 3 centimetres, and/or on working surface the size of pickup area for being more than or equal to 100 square centimeters.Preferably the distance between image capture module and working surface is more than or equal to 5 centimetres, and/or on working surface the size of pickup area for being more than or equal to 200 square centimeters.Arrange is like this because working surface is violent in microcosmic point image change, environment is unpredictable, such as for mower, in microcosmic point (being the image of several sq), landform is relatively uneven, image change is violent on meadow, environment is unpredictable, so pickup area is more suitable for more greatly subsequent treatment, to improve the accuracy to automatic travelling device control.
Step 604 is determined characteristic area, recognition feature region in the second image gathering after the first image from the first image gathering.
Particularly, using one of them image in the image gathering as the first image, this first image is benchmark image, and the image gathering after the first image is as the second image, and the second image is contrast images.In the first image, this characteristic area, as characteristic area, is identified in selected part region in the second image.At follow-up circulation time, can be using this second image the first image in follow-up circulation, then using another image in follow-up circulation as the second image.Can certainly be using the image gathering as the first image, another image after this image is after the second image, can in the image of collection, be different from previous other image as the first image and the second image as the first image, then using this image image afterwards as the second image.
Wherein characteristic area can be positioned at the middle position of the first image, and so no matter automatic travelling device whichaway moves, and can both ensure as far as possible that the characteristic area in the second image can not lack.In other embodiments, characteristic area also can be positioned at other position of the first image, and such as in the time determining direction of travel roughly of automatic travelling device, the chosen position of characteristic area can be slightly along oppositely more mobile distances of direction of travel.
