Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and examples, so that how to implement technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects of the present application can be fully understood and implemented.
The embodiment of the application is mainly applied to laser equipment such as a laser projector, and the laser emission is cut off through detection of target objects such as human eyes, so that the damage of laser to a human body caused by the characteristics of the laser is avoided, and the safety of the laser projector is improved.
The existing laser projector mainly uses a laser emitter to emit laser with three colors of RGB, and then projects the laser onto a projection device. The projection device may display a picture projected by the laser projector. However, a certain projection distance exists between the laser and the laser projector, and a laser projection area is formed, and the laser is transmitted in the laser projection area until the laser is projected on the projection device. When a person enters the laser projection area, the laser light has irreversible damage to the human eye. However, the conventional laser projector does not have a protection mechanism to prevent the laser projector from causing possible damage to the human body. The inventors thought whether a protection mechanism could be added to the laser projector to improve the safety of the laser projector. The inventor has studied and sent that a human face generally has heat radiation and human eyes have special characteristics of not reflecting light, and therefore, the inventor thinks whether the laser projector can be controlled according to certain special characteristics of judging the human eyes or human bodies, and accordingly, the inventor proposes the technical scheme of the application.
In the embodiment of the present application, a shutdown instruction for the laser projector is generated according to a target object in a laser projection region of the laser projector by detecting the target object. After executing the turn-off instruction, the laser projector may be controlled to stop emitting imaging laser light. After the emission of the imaging laser is stopped, the laser does not hurt human eyes any more, and the safety of the laser projector can be improved.
The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for controlling a laser projector according to an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:
101: and determining a laser projection area corresponding to the imaging laser of the laser projector.
And after the imaging laser is transmitted in the laser projection area, a projection image is formed on the projection device. The laser projector may be provided with an imaging laser, and when the imaging laser emits imaging laser, the imaging laser may be formed on a projection device, and a region between the imaging laser in the laser projector and the projection device constitutes the laser projection region. Typically, imaging laser light emitted by an imaging laser of the laser head projector is transmitted in the laser projection area and projected onto the projection device. Normally, no person or object is in the laser projection area, and when a person is present in the laser projection area, the person, especially the eyes of the person, may be injured.
The laser projector is used for emitting imaging laser by an RGB three-color laser emitter and projecting a color image to a projection device. The control method of the laser projector provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the laser projector, and can control the imaging laser of the laser projector to emit imaging laser; the control method of the laser projector may also be applied to a control device independent of the laser projector, which may control the imaging laser of the laser projector to emit imaging laser light.
102: and emitting infrared laser to the laser projection area through an infrared laser emitter.
The infrared laser light is transmitted in the laser projection area to form a laser image on the projection device. When the infrared laser is transmitted in the laser projection area, no object or person is usually present in the laser projection area, so that the picture projected by the laser projector can be normally displayed on a projection device.
103: and generating a closing instruction aiming at the imaging laser when determining that the light intensity changes based on the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser.
Determining that the light intensity change exists based on the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser can indicate whether the infrared reflection signal based on the infrared laser is different from the infrared laser signal support or not, and if the infrared reflection signal based on the infrared laser is different from the infrared laser signal support, the light intensity change can be indicated; the difference between the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser and the infrared reflection signal of the preset time can be determined, and if the difference exists, the existence of the light intensity change can be indicated.
Since the user may walk into the laser projection area during the projection process of the laser projector, especially when the face of the user faces the laser projector, the laser emitted from the laser projector is usually projected onto the face of the user, causing harm to the eyes of the user. Therefore, the presence of human eyes in the laser projection area can be detected as a criterion for judging whether the imaging laser needs to be turned off.
Certainly, since the human eyes are usually located on the human face, when the light intensity change is determined to exist based on the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser, before the closing instruction for the imaging laser is generated, whether a human face exists in the laser projection area can be detected, and when the human face exists in the laser projection area, whether the light intensity change exists between the infrared reflection signal and the infrared laser is detected.
When a human face is detected, and it is determined that there is a light intensity change based on the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser, a turn-off instruction for the imaging laser is generated, so that the laser projector can be controlled, and the projection process of the laser projector can be controlled when the laser is projected to the eyes of a user, so that the damage of the laser to the eyes can be further avoided.
Optionally, the human face object in the laser projection area may include:
acquiring image data shot by a camera in real time aiming at the laser projection area;
a face object of the image data is identified.
The camera may be installed on the laser projector or the control device, and captures images in real time with respect to the laser projection area, obtaining captured image data. The camera shoots the laser projection area, and can shoot the laser projection area in real time. The face object in the image data can be identified by a face identification algorithm with respect to the image data obtained in real time. Alternatively, the face recognition algorithm may be a face recognition algorithm based on deep learning, an algorithm based on template matching, or the like.
The closing instruction may be generated upon detecting the presence of the target object in the laser projection area. The shut down instruction is primarily directed to an imaging laser of the laser projector. Optionally, a shutdown instruction for the imaging laser may be generated based on a control identification of the laser projector imaging laser.
104: and executing the closing instruction to control the imaging laser to stop emitting the imaging laser.
After executing the turn-off instruction, the laser projector may stop emitting imaging laser light.
Optionally, the infrared laser emitter emits light to the laser projection area, and the light can be projected as a laser image on a projection device. Objects such as people or objects are not usually present in the laser projection area so that the imaging laser light can be transmitted straight to form a projected image on a projection device. However, since there is usually no obstruction in the laser projection area, people can move freely in the laser projection area, and when people walk into the laser projection area, the laser may cause harm to people. The human eye, as a special imaging structure, cannot reflect light and has a light absorption effect. Therefore, the human eye can be used as a target object, and when the target object is detected to exist in the laser projection area, a corresponding turn-off instruction can be executed for the imaging laser of the laser projector.
Optionally, the executing the turn-off instruction to control the laser projector to stop emitting the imaging laser may include: executing the closing instruction to generate a stopping instruction; and sending the stop instruction to the imaging laser so that the imaging laser stops emitting imaging laser in response to the stop instruction.
Optionally, the executing the shutdown instruction to control the imaging laser to stop emitting the imaging laser may include: and executing the closing instruction to respond to the closing instruction and stop emitting the imaging laser.
Optionally, when the imaging laser stops emitting the imaging laser, other working modules in the laser projector may also be kept in the original working state, so that when the target object is not detected, the laser projector may be quickly restored to the normal projection state. In particular, the scanning module in the laser projector can keep the original working state unchanged so as to scan the imaging lasers of various colors emitted by the imaging laser of the laser projector at any time.
In the embodiment of the application, after the infrared laser emitter emits the infrared laser to the projection area, the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser can be detected to determine whether the light intensity change exists, if so, a turn-off instruction for the laser projector can be generated, and when the turn-off instruction is executed, the laser projector can be controlled to stop emitting the imaging laser, and the laser projector stops emitting the imaging laser, so that the laser does not transmit in the laser projection area, the harm of the laser to a human body can be avoided, and the safety of the laser use is improved.
As shown in fig. 2, a flowchart of another embodiment of a laser control method provided in this embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:
201: and determining a laser projection area corresponding to the imaging laser of the laser projector.
202: and emitting infrared laser to the laser projection area through an infrared laser emitter.
203: and generating a closing instruction aiming at the imaging laser when determining that the light intensity changes based on the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser.
204: and executing the closing instruction to control the imaging laser to stop emitting the imaging laser.
Steps 201 to 204 are the same as those of embodiments 101 to 104 shown in fig. 1, and are not described herein again.
205: and determining that no light intensity change exists based on the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser, and generating a projection instruction aiming at the imaging laser.
The projection instruction of the laser projector may be generated when there is no intensity variation between the infrared laser light signal reflected in the laser projection area and the infrared laser light.
The user can be in a moving state, when the user moves out of the laser projection area, whether the infrared laser reflection signal in the laser projection area has light intensity change or not can be detected in real time, and when the light intensity change is not detected, the user can be determined to be no longer in the laser projection area. At this time, the laser projector may re-emit the imaging laser projection image.
206: and executing the projection instruction to control the imaging laser to re-emit the imaging laser.
The laser projector can restart to emit the imaging laser under the control of the projection instruction when the laser projection area does not have the light intensity change of the infrared reflection signal and the infrared signal of the original infrared laser.
Optionally, when the imaging laser is controlled to stop emitting the imaging laser, the other working modules may keep the original working state, so that the laser projector may re-emit the imaging laser after executing the projection instruction.
In this embodiment of the application, when detecting that there is no light intensity change in the infrared reflection signal reflected in the laser projection area compared with the original infrared laser, a projection instruction for the laser projector may be generated, and the instruction is executed to control the imaging laser to stop emitting imaging laser. And when detecting that the infrared reflection signal reflected in the laser projection area has light intensity change compared with the original infrared laser, the imaging laser can continue to project, and the continuity of the working state of the imaging laser can be kept through the mode, so that the use process of the laser projector is safe and convenient.
As an embodiment, the determining that there is a light intensity change based on the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser, and generating a turn-off instruction for the imaging laser may include:
determining first light intensity information of the infrared laser emitted by the infrared laser emitter;
receiving an infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser through an infrared receiver;
determining second light intensity information of the infrared reflection signal;
and if the difference between the first light intensity information and the second light intensity information meets a first preset condition, determining that light intensity change exists, and generating a closing instruction aiming at the imaging laser.
The infrared laser is emitted by an infrared laser emitter. The infrared laser light may be reflected on an impenetrable device such as a projection device, a human body, or the like. The infrared laser is different from the imaging laser. The imaging laser is a laser emitted by an imaging laser for projecting an image on a projection device. The infrared laser is emitted by an infrared laser emitter and is used for detecting whether light rays are shielded or absorbed in a laser projection area.
When the infrared laser is emitted to a user, the user can reflect the infrared laser, but some special parts of the user, such as human eyes, do not have a reflection function, so that the laser which is reflected by the laser projection device can be received by utilizing the non-reflection characteristic, the first light intensity information of the reflected infrared reflection signal is compared with the second light intensity information of the non-emitted infrared laser, and if the difference between the first light intensity information and the second light intensity information is larger, a target object exists in the laser area.
The first preset condition may be determined according to a relative area of the human eye to the infrared laser. Assuming that a projection area of the infrared laser projection is S, a general area of a human eye is S, a ratio of the area of the human eye to the projection area is calculated as D, and assuming that first light intensity information of the infrared laser is Q1, a light intensity threshold may be D × Q1, and the first preset condition may be that a difference between the first light intensity information Q1 and the second light intensity information Q2 is greater than the light intensity threshold D × Q1.
As a possible implementation manner, the determining the first light intensity information of the infrared laser light emitted by the infrared laser emitter may include:
and when the human face exists in the laser projection area, emitting infrared laser through an infrared emitter, and determining first light intensity information of the infrared laser.
The human eyes are located on a human face, and when a human face is detected, the human eyes on the human face can be generally determined. Therefore, in order to make the detection process of the light intensity variation more accurate, the human face in the laser projection area can be detected after the human face in the laser projection area is detected.
Aiming at the light absorption effect of human eyes, when a person enters a laser projection area, the existence of laser projection equipment in the laser projection area can be judged according to the light intensity difference between a reflected infrared signal and the original infrared laser which is not projected. By the aid of the judging method, whether the target exists can be judged through the characteristics of the object, the pertinence of the judging process can be stronger, and the accuracy is higher.
In the embodiment of the application, when a person enters a laser projection area, the existence of laser projection equipment in the laser projection area is judged according to the light intensity difference between a reflected infrared signal and original infrared laser which is not projected. After whether the target object exists or not is accurately judged, a protection mechanism with higher safety can be provided for the target object.

and executing the projection instruction to control the imaging laser to re-emit the imaging laser.
The projection instruction of the laser projector may be generated when there is no intensity variation between the infrared laser light signal reflected in the laser projection area and the infrared laser light.
The user can be in a moving state, when the user moves out of the laser projection area, whether the infrared laser reflection signal in the laser projection area has light intensity change or not can be detected in real time, and when the light intensity change is not detected, the user can be determined to be no longer in the laser projection area. At this time, the laser projector may re-emit the imaging laser projection image.
The laser projector can restart to emit the imaging laser under the control of the projection instruction when the laser projection area does not have the light intensity change of the infrared reflection signal and the infrared signal of the original infrared laser.
Optionally, when the imaging laser is controlled to stop emitting the imaging laser, the other working modules may keep the original working state, so that the laser projector may re-emit the imaging laser after executing the projection instruction.
In this embodiment of the application, when detecting that there is no light intensity change in the infrared reflection signal reflected in the laser projection area compared with the original infrared laser, a projection instruction for the laser projector may be generated, and the instruction is executed to control the imaging laser to stop emitting imaging laser. And when detecting that the infrared reflection signal reflected in the laser projection area has light intensity change compared with the original infrared laser, the imaging laser can continue to project, and the continuity of the working state of the imaging laser can be kept through the mode, so that the use process of the laser projector is safe and convenient.
As still another embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the projector further includes: the processing component 503, which is connected to the infrared laser receiver 601, determines that there is a light intensity change based on the infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser, and specifically, the step of generating a turn-off command for the imaging laser 501 is as follows:
determining first light intensity information of the infrared laser emitted by the infrared laser emitter;
receiving an infrared reflection signal of the infrared laser through an infrared receiver;
determining second light intensity information of the infrared reflection signal;
and if the difference between the first light intensity information and the second light intensity information meets a first preset condition, determining that light intensity change exists, and generating a closing instruction aiming at the imaging laser.
The infrared laser is emitted by an infrared laser emitter. The infrared laser light may be reflected on an impenetrable device such as a projection device, a human body, or the like. The infrared laser is different from the imaging laser. The imaging laser is a laser emitted by an imaging laser for projecting an image on a projection device. The infrared laser is emitted by an infrared laser emitter and is used for detecting whether light rays are shielded or absorbed in a laser projection area.
When the infrared laser is emitted to a user, the user can reflect the infrared laser, but some special parts of the user, such as human eyes, do not have a reflection function, so that the laser which is reflected by the laser projection device can be received by utilizing the non-reflection characteristic, the first light intensity information of the reflected infrared reflection signal is compared with the second light intensity information of the non-emitted infrared laser, and if the difference between the first light intensity information and the second light intensity information is larger, a target object exists in the laser area.
The first preset condition may be determined according to a relative area of the human eye to the infrared laser. Assuming that a projection area of the infrared laser projection is S, a general area of a human eye is S, a ratio of the area of the human eye to the projection area is calculated as D, and assuming that first light intensity information of the infrared laser is Q1, a light intensity threshold may be D × Q1, and the first preset condition may be that a difference between the first light intensity information Q1 and the second light intensity information Q2 is greater than the light intensity threshold D × Q1.
As a possible implementation manner, the determining, by the processing component, first light intensity information of the infrared laser light emitted by the infrared laser emitter may specifically be:
and when the human face exists in the laser projection area, emitting infrared laser through an infrared emitter, and determining first light intensity information of the infrared laser.
The human eyes are located on a human face, and when a human face is detected, the human eyes on the human face can be generally determined. Therefore, in order to make the detection process of the light intensity variation more accurate, the human face in the laser projection area can be detected after the human face in the laser projection area is detected.
Aiming at the light absorption effect of human eyes, when a person enters a laser projection area, the existence of laser projection equipment in the laser projection area can be judged according to the light intensity difference between a reflected infrared signal and the original infrared laser which is not projected. By the aid of the judging method, whether the target exists can be judged through the characteristics of the object, the pertinence of the judging process can be stronger, and the accuracy is higher.
In the embodiment of the application, when a person enters a laser projection area, the existence of laser projection equipment in the laser projection area is judged according to the light intensity difference between a reflected infrared signal and original infrared laser which is not projected. After whether the target object exists or not is accurately judged, a protection mechanism with higher safety can be provided for the target object.
