Examples of how the adjustment of the physical alignment of the components in examples 11 and 12 is achieved are as follows:
example 1:
except for the key points of the human body, the special key points used in example 1 include 14 key points of a laser pattern and key points of a ray receiving end, the scene of shooting an X-ray image by the human body is shown in fig. 7, the human body stands in front of the ray receiving end, natural light image acquisition is carried out on the current human body, a cross-shaped laser pattern is projected on the surface of the human body by a laser source arranged in the ray source end, a rectangular ABCD is assumed to be a box body of the ray receiving end, O is a camera lens optical center, the surface of the human body is positioned on the same plane alpha, a rectangular HIJK is a central projection of the rectangular ABCD on the alpha plane and taking O as a center, M, N, E is respectively the midpoint of line segments AD, BC and MN, the intersection point of the laser pattern is a point S and is also a projection point of the point O on the plane alpha, namely a line segment OS T plane alpha, R is an intersection point of the line segment OS and an extension line of the line segment MN, in the position relation shown in fig. 7, the center point E of the rectangle ABCD corresponding to the box body at the ray receiving end is blocked by the human body, while the midpoint M of the edge line segment AD is not blocked by the human body.
The device for acquiring distance information is installed at the position OF the point O, so that the distance from the point O to the surface OF any object (except for the blocked portion, for example, in fig. 7, the lengths OF the line segment OE and the line segment ON cannot be measured, and only the lengths OF the line segment OF and the line segment OQ can be measured), and the distance information acquired in example 1 includes the lengths OF the line segment OM, the line segment OS, the line segment OF, and the line segment OQ.
The dimensions of the rectangular ABCD of the box body at the radiation receiving end are known, that is, the lengths of the line segment AB and the line segment BC are known, and the plane imaged by the natural light image is the plane α, that is, the actual distance between each point in the plane α is proportional to the pixel distance between the corresponding points in the natural light image.
In example 1, an optimized human body key point detection algorithm is adopted, and the positions of the center point of the flat panel detector box and the center point of the laser pattern in the natural light image are calculated at the same time of calculating the human body key points, namely, the positions of the point F and the point S in the natural light image are determined.
Since the lengths OF and OS are known, it is available according to the pythagorean theorem:
Figure BDA0002167012050000141
recording device
Figure BDA0002167012050000142
For the length of the line segment FS in the image (the unit is the number of pixels), since the actual distance between two points on the α plane is proportional to the pixel distance in the natural light image, it is possible to obtain: />
Figure BDA0002167012050000143
The angle of the angle POS is:
Figure BDA0002167012050000144
since the length of the line segment OM is known, the length of the line segment MR is:
Figure BDA0002167012050000145
the length of the line segment MR obtained from the above is:
Figure BDA0002167012050000151
since the length of the line segment AB is known, it is possible to obtain from the length of the line segment MR:
the height difference of the center point of the ray receiving end in the actual space is the length of the line segment ER, namely:
Figure BDA0002167012050000152
the height difference between the center point T of the part to be detected of the human body and the center point O of the ray source end is the length of the line segment ST, namely:
Figure BDA0002167012050000153
in summary, when the ray receiving end moves to any height, the positions and the height differences of the ray receiving end center point, the human body to-be-detected part center point and the laser pattern center point in the three-dimensional space can be obtained through the natural light image and the distance information, and when the height differences ER and ST are smaller than the threshold value, the three component center points are considered to be at the same height, so that the adjustment of the physical alignment of the three components is realized.
Example 2:
when the ray receiving end moves vertically up and down, the middle points of the edges of the upper box body and the lower box body are possibly shielded, as shown in fig. 8, the current human body is huge, the left and right edges of the box body are shielded, then the standby key points of the brackets on the hand brackets can be used for replacing the key points of the box body at the middle points of the left and right sides of the box body, and the height difference of the center points of the three parts is calculated according to the middle points of the left and right sides or the end points of the hand brackets, namely the standby key points of the brackets are adopted; the point M and the point N are respectively the leftmost end point and the rightmost end point of the hand support, but are not the middle points of the left side and the right side of the box body; at this time, the line segments OF the actual length obtained through the distance information include a line segment OM, a line segment OS and a line segment OF, and the average sizes OF the box body and the hand support are known;
according to the Pythagorean theorem, the distance from the center point E of the ray receiving end to the center point O of the camera is the length of a line segment OE, and specifically:
Figure BDA0002167012050000161
similarly, the length of the line segment FS is:
Figure BDA0002167012050000162
due to Δoer Δosf, it is possible to obtain:
Figure BDA0002167012050000163
from the 3 formulas above, it is possible to obtain:
the height difference of the ray receiving end center point in the actual space is the length of the line segment ER, namely:
Figure BDA0002167012050000164
since the actual distance between two points on the alpha plane is proportional to the pixel distance in the image, then:
Figure BDA0002167012050000165
the height difference between the center point T of the human body to be detected and the center point O of the ray source end can be obtained as the length of the line segment ST, namely:
Figure BDA0002167012050000166
in summary, when the ray receiving end moves to any height, the positions and the height differences of the ray receiving end center point, the human body to-be-detected part center point and the laser pattern center point in the three-dimensional space can be obtained through the natural light image and the distance information, and when the height differences ER and ST are smaller than the threshold value, the three component center points are considered to be at the same height, so that the adjustment of the physical alignment of the three components is realized.
