Of course, for normal operation, the automatic body tracking recording and broadcasting device of the present invention further includes a power supply and some peripheral circuits, which are not described herein because they are conventional circuits.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, taking a 2 m by 8 m lecture pot as an example, the sensor array 101 adopts a 3 by 4 matrix, that is, 12 human pyroelectric infrared sensors form a 3 by 4 matrix, as shown in fig. 2, the 3×4 matrix of the infrared sensor array corresponds to a 2×8 m lecture pot, that is, each human pyroelectric infrared sensor needs to be controlled in a 0.5×4 m area, and a circle in the center of a rectangle in the figure represents a human pyroelectric infrared sensor for detecting human infrared rays to determine whether a human exists in the detection range.
The principle of the present invention for human body region detection using a human body pyroelectric infrared sensor will be described with reference to fig. 2 as follows: according to the sensor array shown in fig. 2, the left to right sensors are numbered S1-S8 (each circle is schematically a sensor) from top to bottom. Assume that the initial status bit teacher position is at S5, walking from an arbitrary random direction to the next neighborhood bit S1 or S2 or S3 or S4 or S6 or S7 or S8 or S9. Since the sensor cannot achieve accurate area edge discrimination, there is an overlap in the edges, which in this embodiment is:
an overlap region U1 (S5, S1); (S5, S2); (S5, S3); (S5, S4); (S5, S6); (S5, S7); (S5, S8); (S5, S9).
It is also possible that the overlap region U2: (S5, S1, S2); (S5, S1, S3); (S5, S1, S4); (S5, S2, S3); (S5, S2, S4); (S5, S2, S6); (S5, S3, S6); (S5, S4, S7); (S5, S4, S8); (S5, S6, S8); (S5, S6, S9); (S5, S7, S8); (S5, S8, S9).
It is also possible that the overlap region U3: (S5, S1, S2, S4); (S5, S2, S3, S6); (S5, S4, S7, S8); (S5, S6, S8, S9).
The above-mentioned region numbers in parentheses are that the human body infrared signal is detected by the region sensor.
Which combination of overlapping areas is determined by the teacher's movement path, the sensor area detection accuracy, and the sensor detection time during the teacher's movement. It can be seen from U1-U3 that the amount of overlap is determined by the number of adjacent areas in the current area. For the area S5, 8 adjacent areas are the most complex case, plus one that forms a standard nine-square grid by itself. For the areas S1, S2, S4, S5, the next time the detection area is:
s1 is positioned in the center of the S1 area;
s2 is positioned in the center of the S2 area;
s3, positioning in the center of the S3 area;
s4, positioning in the center of the S4 area;
(S5, S1) is positioned at the junction point of S5 and S1, namely the center of the dotted rectangle in the upper drawing;
(S5, S2) is positioned at the midpoint of the boundary between S5 and S2, namely the center of the diamond-shaped frame with a broken line in the upper drawing;
(S5, S4) and (S5, S2), namely the center of the broken line triangle frame in the upper graph;
(S5, S1, S2) is the same as (S5, S1);
(S5, S1, S4) is the same as (S5, S1);
(S5, S1, S2, S4) is the same as (S5, S1);
other areas are the same as the above, and will not be described here again, the information processing unit 105 may detect the body location according to the above scheme, determine the area where the body is located, and further implement the infrared matrix positioning for tracking the body.
In the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sensor array 101 is formed by combining single pyroelectric infrared sensors of human body, and the isolation plates of human body infrared wavelength bands are used to realize the region isolation at intervals, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the sensor array 101 may also be implemented by using an infrared matrix sensor integrated circuit, for example, AMG88xx series Infrared Array Sensor "Grid-EYE" infrared matrix sensor of japan pine company (PANASONIC CORPORATION), and how to implement automatic tracking and imaging of human body by using the infrared matrix sensor integrated circuit is described as follows:
fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a second preferred embodiment of an automatic body tracking recording and playing device according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, an automatic human body tracking recording and broadcasting device of the present invention includes: the infrared matrix sensor integrated circuit 301, the information processing unit 302 and the camera pan-tilt module 303, wherein the information processing unit 302 and the camera pan-tilt module 303 are the same as those of the first preferred embodiment, and are not described herein, unlike the first preferred embodiment, the present embodiment adopts the infrared matrix sensor integrated circuit 301 to realize automatic tracking and shooting of the human body. Corresponding to the first preferred embodiment, the infrared matrix sensor integrated circuit itself integrates amplification filtering, analog switch matrix and comparison circuit, and can be, for example, an AMG88xx series Infrared Array Sensor "Grid-EYE" infrared matrix sensor of japan pine company (PANASONIC CORPORATION), and the following description will be given of how to use the infrared matrix sensor integrated circuit to realize automatic tracking and image capturing of human body:
the AMG88xx series is an infrared array sensor of Songshi corporation, which adopts the passive thermopile temperature difference detection principle to measure the infrared of a heating body, and the shell is provided with a non-human infrared band filter lens, so that the anti-interference capability is strong. The working principle is shown in figure 4.
Because the density of the device is higher, a passive thermopile temperature difference detection principle is adopted, if each of 64 dot matrixes is corresponding to one lecture pot according to the design of the device, a teacher human body temperature pattern is drawn, and the tracking difficulty is increased. It is therefore necessary to install the sensor at a distance from the lecture pot, to enlarge the physical area of the monitoring point contrast, and to consider several detection points as one area. For example, the 8×8=64 matrix is reduced to a 4×4=16 matrix adjacent to a region of four points, and the tracking position algorithm is the same as the sensor array formed by the independent sensors in fig. 1. The detection points of the AMG88xx series can be divided into two rows on the left and right sides and three rows of the upper and lower 3,3 and 2, for example, to form a matrix distribution diagram consistent with the independent sensor array of FIG. 1
In addition, the AMG88xx series temperature difference detection technology can provide 12-bit temperature resolution (one bit of sign position) for each monitoring point, so that the position of a teacher on the lecture jar can be judged by adopting the highest temperature area without the need of partitioning a large physical area to remotely install a sensor.
