Specific embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is carried out clear, complete Ground description, it is clear that described embodiment is only a part of embodiment of the invention, rather than whole embodiments.Based on this Inventive embodiment, the every other implementation that those of ordinary skill in the art are obtained under the premise of creative work is not made Example, belongs to protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of indoor positioning navigation system comprising visible light attenuation piece, as shown in figure 1, it is led Including:Transmitting end module (Transmitter components) and reception end module (Receiver components);Its In:
Transmitting end module includes:Control unit (Control Unit) and some LEDs (being designated as LED A~LED N);Its The particular number of middle LED can determine according to actual conditions.
In transmitting end module, control unit produces feature character signal, and controls LED by the drive circuit of LED The optical power change of lamp, so as to control light intensity to change.
Receiving end module includes:Camera (Camera), visible light attenuation piece (ONDF), FPGA and host computer (PC);Institute The front end that visible light attenuation piece is arranged on camera is stated, optical power change is perceived come amplifying camera head by visible light attenuation piece Linear zone;The FPGA is used to control the working method of camera, and is sent to after the image preprocessing collected to camera Host computer, realizes positioning with navigation by host computer.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the light intensity of LED is directly proportional to luminous power.
In order to make it easy to understand, being elaborated below for the principle of system.
1) transmitting terminal module by signal design:The feature character signal for launching end module can use intensity modulated, transmission signal Frequency can be set according to the frame per second of camera, if camera frame per second be fr, each bit-time of feature character signal is ts, then fr=n/ts, so that it is guaranteed that each bit information of feature character signal is at least sampled once by camera, n therein is Integer more than or equal to 1.
2) human eye perceives LED blinking characteristics:Found by experiment, if transmitting end module is using the square-wave signal of single-frequency, So when signal frequency is more than 50Hz, human eye just substantially perceives the flicker less than LED.If originating terminal signal is loaded with spy Levy character signal, then only when the frequency of signal is more than 200Hz, human eye will not just perceive the flicker of LED.
3) method of shallow modulation solves the flicker of LED:At present commercialization camera frame per second in 30~60 frames, according to foregoing hair Penetrate from the point of view of the frequency of end module feature character signal, the flicker problem of LED will certainly be brought.Therefore, it can be considered as reducing The method (i.e. shallow modulator approach) of feature code word signal modulation depth solves the flicker problem of LED, it is therefore an objective to allow human eye to perceive Flicker less than LED, but, camera still can perceive the change of luminous power.
It is exemplary, the schematic diagram of shallow modulator approach as shown in Fig. 2 under conditions of illumination constraint is met, using difference Low and high level represent logic 1 and 0, by reduce low and high level difference Δ, it is ensured that human eye perceive less than flicker.To ensure simultaneously Luminous power under high-low voltage control responds the linear zone of luminous power in camera.Feature code word in the schematic diagram is 10010。
4) camera perceives the characteristic of optical power change:Found by experiment, camera perceives the linear of optical power change Area's very little, under conditions of luminous power is more than certain luminous power, the perception of camera is just saturated.Simultaneously can by experiment To find that the linear zone that camera perceives optical power change is in the state of glimmer in LED, if in the linear zone scope The interior method using shallow modulation come solve the flicker problem of LED cannot meet illumination constraint condition.
5) visible light attenuation piece characteristic:Camera can be improved by visible light attenuation piece perceive the linear of optical power change Area.Assuming that the attenuation coefficient of visible light attenuation piece is α, then by optical power attenuation to 1/ original α, so as to pass through visible light attenuation Piece carrys out the linear zone that amplifying camera head perceives optical power change so that saturation region when not by visible light attenuation piece becomes By the linear zone in the case of visible light attenuation piece;So as to use shallow modulation in the range of the linear zone for meeting illumination constraints Method come the problem that avoids LED from flashing, and camera can be correctly decoded according to the grey scale change of capture images.
Be can see from above-mentioned principle, the system is by using reduction modulation depth and being used as by visible light attenuation piece auxiliary The mode of equipment is helped to realize that the flicker free of commercial camera is positioned, thus without using the shooting of high-resolution and frame per second high Head, it is possible to decrease the manufacturing cost of system.
In addition, the system positioning method can also be divided into single lamp positioning and many lamps positioning, two kinds tackle respectively it is different Scene and different positioning precision demands, wherein:
When single lamp is positioned, the reception end module according to the corresponding feature code word of image decoding of a certain LED of collection, So as to obtain the position of corresponding LED, the precision of single lamp positioning is the radius of LED illumination region;That is, the system is only Ensure that receiving end module can correctly parse the feature code word of originator;If receiving end module by band visible light attenuation Piece is realized with the intelligent terminal of camera, then corresponding location navigation software, phase can be directly developed on intelligent terminal The LED positional information answered is loaded on location navigation interface.
When many lamps are positioned, the quantity of LED need to be more than or equal to three, and three LEDs are not point-blank;The reception The corresponding feature code word of image decoding of each LED that end module is positioned according to many lamps of participation, further according to the condition code for obtaining Word simultaneously combines estimation of the localization method realization based on camera AOA to current geographic position information, and positioning precision is Centimeter Level.
In position fixing process, to feature code word by the way of differential decoding.If the length of feature code word is N, then By sending for the feature code word cycle period of this N-bit length.End module is being received, the image to continuous capture is poor Office is managed, and is so, in order to reduce ambient noise, and to determine gray threshold.Hough transformation is done to difference image again, it is therefore an objective to be Find the image district of LED and determine ROI (region of interest), finally calculate the average ash of difference image ROI Angle value, by relatively solving feature code word with gray threshold.Therefore in order to guarantee correctly to distinguish the feature of initiator block Codeword information, it is necessary to ensure that it is different that all feature code word differential coding Posterior circles shift the new code word to be formed.Fig. 3 shows spy Levy code word design and differential decoding process, wherein feature code word 1101 can be decoded into 0110,1100,1001 and 0011 this Four code words.
On the other hand, experiment test has also been carried out based on the system.
It is illustrated in figure 4 the VA characteristic curve figure of experiment test LED provided in an embodiment of the present invention.It is found through experiments that When voltage is more than 9.9V, C-V characteristic is saturated.
Be illustrated in figure 5 experiment test provided in an embodiment of the present invention is not added with visible light attenuation piece and plus visible light attenuation The transmitting terminal module voltage and the relation schematic diagram of gradation of image of piece;4 curves are respectively from left to right:It is not added with visible light attenuation Piece, the attenuation coefficient of visible light attenuation piece are α=10%, the attenuation coefficient of visible light attenuation piece is α=1%, visible light attenuation The attenuation coefficient of piece is α=0.1%.Visible attenuator use is the product of THORLABS companies, is found by experiment test, The linear zone that camera responds luminous power, and the degree for improving can be improved with attenuation coefficient by adding visible attenuator Reduce and increase.Under the LED, in the case that transmitting terminal module voltage is more than 8.5V, normal illumination can be just provided.But In the case of more than 8.5V, the situation for being not added with attenuator is to be in saturation region, plus the situation of attenuator is in linear zone.Therefore Can illustrate that by adding attenuator the linear zone that camera responds luminous power can be improved, illumination constraint bar is met in the linear zone The flicker problem of LED can be solved in the range of part using the method for shallow modulation.
It is illustrated in figure 6 the attenuation characteristic schematic diagram of the visible light attenuation piece NE20A of THORLABS companies production.
The above, the only present invention preferably specific embodiment, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, Any one skilled in the art in the technical scope of present disclosure, the change or replacement that can be readily occurred in, Should all be included within the scope of the present invention.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention should be with the protection model of claims Enclose and be defined.
