Description

Technical Field

Background
Time of Flight (TOF) ranging techniques calculate the distance of a target object by calculating the Time or phase difference of light beams from being transmitted to being received via reflection by the target object to obtain depth data information of the target object. TOF-based ranging technology has begun to be applied in the fields of three-dimensional measurement, gesture control, robot navigation, security and monitoring, etc.
In the prior art, TOF depth cameras mainly contain the following error sources: 1. due to the systematic error generated by the modulation-demodulation signal deviation, the method is called as "wiggling" for short; 2. errors caused by variations in incident light intensity; 3. errors caused by temperature changes; 4. errors due to different integration times. Therefore, if higher accuracy measurement is to be achieved, correction of the error is required. In the error correction, the most complicated error correction is wiggling, and the conventional method generally adopts a guide rail method or a cattree for wiggling calibration, but the two methods are more suitable for near-distance TOF camera calibration, and for far-distance TOF camera calibration, the calibration equipment is large in size and low in efficiency, so that the method is not suitable for large-batch TOF camera far-distance calibration.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical schemes and beneficial effects to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "mounted" or "disposed" on another element, it can be directly on the other element or be indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or be indirectly connected to the other element. In addition, the connection may be for both the fixing action and the circuit communication action.
It is to be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," and the like are merely for convenience in describing embodiments of the invention and to simplify the description, and do not denote or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like, are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless explicitly defined otherwise.
One thinking of performing TOF camera calibration by adopting optical fibers is that different distances of the TOF camera can be calibrated by utilizing optical fibers with different lengths, and a wiggling curve is fitted based on a theoretical optical path of light beam transmission and an actual flight distance of a corresponding light beam respectively, so that the calibration of the TOF camera is realized.
The technology not only reduces the volume of the calibration equipment, but also improves the calibration efficiency. However, the theoretical optical path of the beam transmission in this technique is determined according to the length of the optical fiber, and the beam transmission is actually lossy in the optical fiber, so that the actual distance of the beam transmission is not equal to the physical distance (length) of the optical fiber. Such as the transmission of the light beam in the optical fiber due to absorption, scattering, etc., or the presence of significant losses at the serial port when multiple fibers are connected in series. The physical distance (length) of the optical fiber is thus unequal to the actual optical path length of the optical fiber.
Fig. 1 and fig. 2 show a calibration device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The calibration device 100 includes a pre-calibrated TOF camera 50, a fiber optic set 4. The TOF camera 50 comprises an emission module 1, a collection module 2 and a control and processor 3 respectively connected with the emission module 1 and the collection module 2. The transmitting module 1 comprises a light source for emitting a light beam, the light beam is transmitted to the collecting module 2 through the optical fiber group 4, the control and processor 3 calculates the actual transmission distance of the light beam according to the time from the emission to the receiving of the light beam, and determines the actual optical path length of the optical fiber according to the actual transmission distance of the light beam. It will be appreciated that for convenience of illustration, only two optical fibers are shown to form the optical fiber set 4, and in practice, the optical fiber set may be formed of a plurality of optical fibers of different lengths, as the case may be, so that the actual optical path length of the optical fibers can be determined each time a light beam passes through one optical fiber.
According to the invention, the actual light beam transmission distance is obtained by adopting the pre-calibrated TOF camera, and the actual optical path of the optical fiber is determined according to the actual light beam transmission distance, so that the error between the length of the optical fiber and the actual optical path is eliminated, the calibration error of the subsequent TOF camera to be calibrated is eliminated, and the calibration precision is improved.
The calibration device provided by the invention not only reduces the volume of calibration equipment and improves the calibration efficiency, but also improves the calibration precision.
As shown in fig. 3, the identification device 100 in one embodiment further comprises a first optical fiber 5, a first component 6, a second component 7, and a second optical fiber 8. Wherein the first optical fiber 5 is used for transmitting the light beam of the emission module 1 to the first component 6; one end of the first component 6 is connected with the first optical fiber 5, and the other end is respectively connected with the input end of the optical fiber group, and is used for receiving the light beams transmitted by the first optical fiber 5 and transmitting the received light beams outwards through each optical fiber with different lengths; one end of the second component 7 is connected with a second optical fiber 8, and the other end of the second component is connected with the output end of the optical fiber group, and the second component is used for respectively receiving the light beams transmitted by each optical fiber with different lengths and transmitting the light beams to the acquisition module 2 of the TOF camera through the second optical fiber 8; the control and processor 3 calculates the actual transmission distance of the light beam from the time the light beam is transmitted from transmission to reception and determines the actual optical path length of the optical fiber from the actual transmission distance of the light beam.
As shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment, the first component 6 is a first optical path switch 9 and the second component 7 is a second optical path switch 10. The light source 11 emits light beams to be transmitted to the first optical fiber 5 and to the first optical path switch 9, and the first optical path switch 9 is connected with the input ends of the optical fibers with different lengths and used for switching on/off the input ends of the optical fibers with different lengths; the second optical path switch 10 is connected to the output ends of the optical fibers with different lengths, and is used for switching on/off the output ends of the optical fibers with different lengths. The light beams sequentially pass through the optical fibers of different lengths and then sequentially transmit to the second optical fiber 8 to irradiate the image sensor 21, and the control and processor 3 calculates the actual transmission distance of the light beams according to the time from the emission to the reception of the light beams, and determines the actual optical path length of the optical fibers according to the actual transmission distance of the light beams. The optical fiber set shown in the figures comprises two optical fibers of different lengths, which are only exemplary here, the number of actual optical fibers being a number of optical fibers arranged as desired.
In the above embodiment, the optical path switch is used to control the on or off states of the input end and the output end of the optical fibers with different lengths, so that the light beam is transmitted through the optical fibers asynchronously, for example, each time the light beam passes through one optical fiber, and the actual optical path length of the optical fibers is determined based on the actual transmission distance of the light beam calculated by the TOF camera.
As shown in fig. 5, in one embodiment, the first component 6 is a fiber optic splitter 11 and the second component 7 is a second optical path switch 10. The light source 11 emits a light beam to be transmitted to the first optical fiber 5 and to the optical fiber splitter 11, the optical fiber splitter 11 is connected to the input ends of optical fibers with different lengths, the light beam is transmitted to the optical fiber splitter 11 to equally divide the energy of the light beam into each optical fiber, and each optical fiber is connected to a switch to allow/block the light beam to pass through the input ends of the optical fibers. The second optical path switch 10 is connected to the output ends of the optical fibers with different lengths, and is used for turning on/off the output ends of the optical fibers with different lengths, and the light beam is transmitted to the second optical fiber 8 after passing through the optical fibers with different lengths in an unsynchronized manner so as to irradiate the image sensor 21, and the control and processor 3 calculates the actual transmission distance of the light beam according to the transmission time of the light beam, and determines the actual optical path length of the optical fiber according to the actual transmission distance of the light beam. It will be appreciated that the control and processor may be connected to control the on/off of the corresponding optical fibers by the optical splitter 11 and the second optical switch 10, or the input end of the corresponding optical fiber may be controlled to be on/off by the switch of each optical fiber, and the second optical switch 10 may be connected to a control switch to control the output end of the corresponding optical fiber to be on/off by the second optical switch 10.
The difference from the embodiment shown in fig. 3 is that the optical fiber beam splitter 11 used in this embodiment turns on or off the input ends of the optical fibers, and besides only making the light beam pass through one optical fiber at a time, the optical fiber beam splitter can equally divide the energy of the received light beam according to the number of optical fibers, so as to avoid that the energy of the light beam irradiated to the image sensor 21 is too strong.
In the embodiments shown in fig. 3-5, the light beam finally passes through the second optical fiber 8 to irradiate the image sensor 21, and since the spot size of the light beam is very small, only a small portion of pixels of the image sensor 21 can collect the light beam signal, and each time the incident position is the same, so that accuracy errors caused by phase delay, pixel deviation and the like between different pixels can be avoided. It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, the actual optical path length of the whole may be determined by taking the first optical fiber 5, the single optical fiber of the optical fiber group 4, and the second optical fiber 8 as a whole, respectively; the actual optical lengths of the first optical fiber 5 and the second optical fiber 8 may be determined in advance, and the lengths of the optical fibers may be determined.
In the above embodiment, the curve may be fitted according to the actual optical lengths of the optical fibers with different lengths and the physical distances of the optical fibers, and the actual optical lengths of the optical fibers with other lengths may be derived according to the fitting result, so as to reduce the workload.
In one embodiment, the calibration device 100 further includes a diffuser (not shown) located directly below the second optical fiber 8, and the light beam irradiates the diffuser through the second optical fiber 8 to form a uniform light spot, where the size of the light spot is larger than that of the light beam, and the light spot can cover more pixels in the image sensor 21. For example, the light beam passes through the second optical fiber 8 and then is directly irradiated to the image sensor 21, and occupies 2x2 pixels of the image sensor 21, and then the light beam passes through the diffuser and is collected by the image sensor 21, i.e. occupies the pixels 4x4. It is noted that the spot size is only illustrative and the spot size may occupy 5x5 pixels or more.
It will be appreciated that the pre-calibrated TOF camera 50 described in the above embodiments may be calibrated by rail methods, cattree methods, and the like. Because the calibration equipment of the guide rail method and the cattree method is large in size and low in efficiency, the method is not suitable for large-batch TOF camera long-distance calibration, but a small number of TOF cameras can be calibrated by using the two methods, so that the TOF cameras can measure accurate actual transmission distances of light beams. And the TOF camera is utilized to calibrate the optical fiber so as to calibrate a large number of TOF cameras to be calibrated later, thereby improving the calibration efficiency and reducing the volume of the calibration equipment.
Based on the optical fiber calibration device in each embodiment, the application also provides a corresponding calibration method. FIG. 6 shows a flow chart of a calibration method according to an embodiment of the invention, comprising the steps of:
s1: calibrating the actual optical path of an optical fiber set, wherein the optical fiber set comprises a plurality of optical fibers with different lengths;
s2: the calibrated optical fiber group is controlled to receive the light beam emitted by the emitting module of the TOF camera to be calibrated, and the receiving module of the TOF camera to be calibrated is controlled to receive the light beam passing through the optical fiber group;
s3: and calibrating the TOF camera to be calibrated according to the transmission time of the light beam and the actual optical path of the optical fiber group.
It will be appreciated that the above method may be performed by the control and processor of the TOF camera to be calibrated, or by a separate processor.
The invention adopts the optical fiber group calibrated with the actual optical path to calibrate the TOF camera to be calibrated, so as to eliminate the error between the length of the optical fiber and the actual optical path, further eliminate the calibration error of the subsequent TOF camera to be calibrated, improve the calibration efficiency, and more importantly, improve the calibration precision.
When the TOF camera to be calibrated is calibrated by adopting the optical fiber group, the actual optical path of each optical fiber in the optical fiber group is calibrated firstly, because the length or the physical distance of the optical fiber is not equal to the actual optical path, the middle has loss, and if the TOF camera to be calibrated is calibrated by directly using the length or the physical distance of the optical fiber, errors are obvious.
As shown in fig. 7, the present invention provides a method for calibrating the actual optical path length of an optical fiber set, comprising the steps of:
s11: controlling the optical fiber group to receive the light beam emitted by the emission module of the pre-calibrated TOF camera;
s12: controlling a receiving module of the pre-calibrated TOF camera to receive the light beam passing through the optical fiber group;
s13: and calculating the actual transmission distance of the light beam according to the transmission time of the light beam and determining the actual optical path length of the optical fiber group according to the actual transmission distance.
It will be appreciated that the control and processor of the pre-calibrated TOF camera may perform the above method to effect calibration of the optical fiber set. Or may be performed by a separate processor that also performs the method of fig. 6.
As previously mentioned, the pre-calibrated TOF camera may be calibrated by methods known in the art, such as rail or cattree methods.

(2) Only one part of the optical fibers is calibrated, and then the length of the other part of the optical fibers is obtained through curve fitting;
fitting a curve according to the actual optical paths of a plurality of optical fibers with different lengths and the physical distances of the optical fibers, and deducing the actual optical paths of the optical fibers with other lengths according to the curve.
