Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes a kind of external light compensating lamp structure for Vehicle License Plate Recognition System, all immobilize with intensity of illumination with light compensating lamp lighting angle in solution prior art, the problem being difficult to accurately the vehicle of various height be carried out light filling, it is achieved automatically adjust the purpose of light compensating lamp lighting angle and intensity.
The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
A kind of external light compensating lamp structure for Vehicle License Plate Recognition System, including the light compensating lamp being arranged on below image acquisition equipment, described light compensating lamp is fixed on the drive end of motor, also include the doorframe being arranged on image acquisition equipment front, described doorframe inside top is provided with distance measuring sensor straight down, and described doorframe is provided with illuminance sensor towards the side in direction, light compensating lamp place;Also including that controller, the signal receiving end of described controller electrically connect with distance measuring sensor, illuminance sensor respectively, the signal output part of described controller electrically connects with motor, light compensating lamp respectively.
For the vehicle of different automobile types in prior art, its car plate suspension height has difference, but existing external light compensating lamp lighting angle all immobilizes with intensity of illumination, being difficult to vehicle to various height accurately and carry out the problem of light filling, the present invention proposes a kind of external light compensating lamp structure for Vehicle License Plate Recognition System.Described light compensating lamp is arranged on below the image acquisition equipment in existing Vehicle License Plate Recognition System, described image acquisition equipment is i.e. for arresting the device of license plate image information, such as the equipment such as photographic head, digital camera, described light compensating lamp is fixed on the drive end of motor, i.e. it is as the rotation of step motor drive end, light compensating lamp rotates therewith, and therefore its lighting angle is adjusted change the most therewith.Also include the doorframe being arranged on image acquisition equipment front, doorframe is crossed on road, vehicle passes through in doorframe, the distance measuring sensor straight down arranged by doorframe inside top, the height of car passed through is measured, distance measuring sensor measures doorframe top to the distance of roof, transmit a signal to described controller, controller doorframe height deducts this distance, obtain height of car, motor can be controlled according to height of car to rotate, thus drive light compensating lamp to rotate, the lighting angle making light compensating lamp adjusts in real time to the position towards vehicle license plate, i.e. height of car is the highest, light compensating lamp light beam is the biggest with the angle on ground;Height of car is the lowest, and light compensating lamp light beam is the least with the angle on ground.In addition, described doorframe is provided with illuminance sensor towards the side in direction, light compensating lamp place, for monitoring light intensity, and this light intensity signal is transmitted to controller, controller is further according to the intensity of illumination of light intensity regulation and control light compensating lamp, i.e. light intensity signal is the most weak, the biggest by the electric current of light compensating lamp, and the illumination luminosity of light compensating lamp is the strongest;Light intensity signal is the strongest, the least by the electric current of light compensating lamp, the illumination luminosity of light compensating lamp is the least, with this, light intensity at doorframe is in dynamic balance all the time, avoid light the brightest, the reflective too strong license plate image causing obtaining of car plate is over-exposed, it also avoid light and crosses the unclear situation of license plate image of dark acquisition.
Further, the difference in height between described light compensating lamp and image acquisition equipment is more than 30cm.Both mounting distances are the nearest, the light of light compensating lamp can be caused directly to be reflexed to camera lens by the reflecting coating on car plate surface, cause car plate overexposure in video image, it appears turn white, affect final recognition result.Therefore difference in height between light compensating lamp and image acquisition equipment is set more than 30cm, it is able to ensure that both air line distance is more than 30cm, guarantee that the lighting angle of light compensating lamp and the camera lens of image acquisition equipment have enough angle difference, it is to avoid the light of light compensating lamp directly reflexes in camera lens.
Further, described light compensating lamp is white LED lamp.White LED lamp can send the white light of access expansion light, it is to avoid the normal work of image acquisition equipment is brought interference by other color light, it is ensured that car plate is accurately identified by it.
Further, described LED classification of waterproof IP65.IP grade Shi Shi International Electrotechnical Commission is used for assert the code name of degree of protection, and IP grade is made up of two numerals, and first digit represents dust-proof;Second digit represents waterproof, and numeral its degree of protection of the biggest expression is the best.According to GB4208-2008, IP65 classification of waterproof, there is excellent outdoor water-proof ability, can have good insulating effect for rainwater etc., it is to avoid LED is by rainwater interference effect.
The present invention compared with prior art, has such advantages as and beneficial effect:
1, a kind of external light compensating lamp structure for Vehicle License Plate Recognition System of the present invention, light compensating lamp is fixed on the drive end of motor, in image acquisition equipment front, doorframe is set, vehicle passes through in doorframe, the distance measuring sensor straight down arranged by doorframe inside top, the height of car passed through is measured, transmit a signal to controller and be calculated height of car, motor can be controlled according to height of car to rotate, thus drive light compensating lamp to rotate, make the lighting angle of light compensating lamp adjust in real time to the position towards vehicle license plate;
2, a kind of external light compensating lamp structure for Vehicle License Plate Recognition System of the present invention, at doorframe, the side in direction, light compensating lamp place is provided with illuminance sensor, for this light intensity signal is transmitted to controller, controller is according to the intensity of illumination of light intensity regulation and control light compensating lamp, light intensity at doorframe is in dynamic balance all the time, avoid light the brightest, the reflective too strong license plate image causing obtaining of car plate is over-exposed, it also avoid light and crosses the unclear situation of license plate image of dark acquisition;
3, a kind of external light compensating lamp structure for Vehicle License Plate Recognition System of the present invention, the difference in height between light compensating lamp and image acquisition equipment is more than 30cm.So that it is guaranteed that both air line distance is more than 30cm, it is ensured that the lighting angle of light compensating lamp and the camera lens of image acquisition equipment have enough angle difference, it is to avoid the light of light compensating lamp directly reflexes to cause in camera lens image overexposure, the situation affecting recognition result occurs.
