The invention firstly provides a clothes treatment device, which comprises a box body, cheng Yitong, a machine door, an operation panel and other parts, and is also provided with an image acquisition device, wherein the image acquisition device can be a camera or a camera, and can also be other types of image acquisition devices. The installed image acquisition device forms an image acquisition area in a certain range in front of the clothes treatment equipment, when a moving object approaches the clothes treatment equipment, the function of the image acquisition device is triggered to acquire the image of the approaching moving object, and the aim of accurately controlling the opening and closing of the machine door is fulfilled by performing a series of processing on the image. Taking a drum-type washing machine as an example, the drum-type washing machine comprises parts such as a box body, an inner barrel, an outer barrel, an operation panel, a machine door and the like, wherein the machine door is configured to be an automatic flicking machine door, so that the automatic flicking of the machine door can be realized, and the operation of a user is facilitated. The image acquisition device adopts a camera, the image information shot by the camera is transmitted into the image processing module, the image processing module processes the image, such as image compression, enhancement and restoration, matching, description and identification, and the final output result can accurately represent the body state of the human body.
The door control method of the present invention is described below based on the configuration of the above-described laundry treating apparatus. The description will be made taking a washing machine as an example.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, the main steps of the door control method of the clothes treating apparatus provided by the present embodiment include:
s10, acquiring an image of a human body close to the clothes treatment equipment under the state that the machine door is closed.
Because the clothes can be conveniently added or taken in and out even if the two hands of the user are occupied in the state that the machine door is opened, the invention only discusses how the operation convenience of the user can be improved under the condition that the user is inconvenient to operate, namely, the door control method provided by the invention is mainly carried out in the state that the machine door is closed.
Specifically, in a state where the door is closed, an image of a human body approaching the washing machine is acquired by the image pickup device. In order to trigger the image acquisition device to work when someone is close to the washing machine, the image acquisition device or other positions of the washing machine can be provided with a sensor for detecting whether someone is close to the image acquisition device, if a pyroelectric infrared sensor, a proximity sensor and the like are arranged, when someone enters an image acquisition area, the pyroelectric infrared sensor, the proximity sensor and the like can be sensed by the sensor at once, and therefore shooting action of the image acquisition device is triggered. The image acquisition device acquires pictures or videos of a human body through an image acquisition module such as a camera, and then transmits the acquired pictures or video information to the image processing module.
And S20, processing the image and obtaining a characteristic model of the human body.
When the image processing module receives the picture or video information, the image processing module processes the picture to extract useful information. In particular, the image may be feature extracted using image segmentation techniques. The image features mainly include color features, texture features, shape features and spatial relationship features of an image, algorithms commonly used in a feature extraction process mainly include Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Local Binary Patterns (LBP), and a specific feature extraction technology is a mature prior art and is not described in detail herein in order to highlight the gist of the present invention.
Then, a feature model of the human body is established based on the result of the feature extraction. For example, a feature model capable of representing the boundary contour of a human body is established by extracting texture features and shape features of a photo, or a feature model capable of representing the stereoscopic contour of the human body is formed by extracting spatial relationship features of the human body through a shot video. In the process of establishing the feature model, basic operations applied to mathematical morphology are needed, for example, various mathematical morphology practical algorithms can be derived and combined through open operations and/or closed operations in morphology, and the mathematical morphology practical algorithms can be used for analyzing and processing image shapes and structures, including feature extraction, boundary detection, image enhancement and the like. In view of the fact that the related technologies such as feature extraction and model building are already mature, there are many implementation manners in the prior art, and details are not described here to highlight the gist of the present invention.
And S30, comparing the characteristic model with a plurality of preset models and determining the posture of the human body accordingly.
Comparing the feature model with the preset model also belongs to the category of image processing technology. Specifically, similarity comparison is carried out on a characteristic model capable of representing the current human body posture and a plurality of preset models respectively. The user approaches the washing machine, namely walks towards the washing machine, the posture of the user is single, the lower half part of the body is basically walking posture, the posture of the arm is different only on the arm, and the posture of the arm is basically three postures of holding objects with two hands, holding objects with one hand and holding objects with empty hands. The preset model may be set to include at least a two-handed model, a one-handed model, and a free-handed model. The double-hand object holding model is obtained by acquiring data through multiple experiments, and is established through deep learning after characteristic extraction is carried out on the images by acquiring a plurality of images of human bodies and double-hand objects, and the model can represent most situations when the two hands of people hold the objects. The establishment of the single-hand object model and the empty hand model is the same. The specific modeling technology is one of image processing technologies, the existing related technologies are very mature, and the invention is not excessively developed.
Various comparison results can appear in the process of comparing the characteristic model of the human body with the preset model, the preset model with the highest similarity is selected by respectively obtaining the similarity between the characteristic model and the preset model, and the posture of the human body is determined according to the preset model. Specifically, when the preset model is a two-hand object holding model, the determined posture of the human body is a two-hand object holding posture, which indicates that the two hands of the user are occupied at present, and the hands hold clothes or a washtub for holding the clothes and the like; when the preset model is a one-hand-held object model, the determined posture of the human body is the one-hand-held object state, which indicates that the user holds clothes or a washtub for holding the clothes with one hand is occupied at present; when the preset model is a free-hand model, the determined posture of the human body is a free-hand posture, which indicates that the two hands of the user do not hold objects at present and are usually in a drooping posture. By modeling the body state of the person moving to the washing machine in advance, the body state can be conveniently judged in the later period.
And S40, controlling the action of the machine door according to the comparison result.
After the body state of the human body is determined, the controller can pre-judge the action intention of the human body based on the body state of the human body. For example, when holding objects with both hands, a user usually holds additional clothes or a washtub containing the clothes, and wants to add the clothes into the washing machine continuously or to take the clothes out of the washing machine. Of course, the held object can also be judged through image processing technology so as to further determine the user intention. The same thing is held by one hand. Therefore, if the determined posture of the human body is a double-hand-held posture or a single-hand-held posture, the controller controls the machine door to be automatically opened, so that the user can conveniently take and place the clothes, the user does not need to laboriously unlock the machine door, and the clothes can be conveniently added into or taken out of the washing drum even if the two hands or the single hand are occupied.
And if the posture of the human body is a free hand posture, detecting the running state of the washing machine, and controlling the action of the machine door according to the detected running state. The operation state of the washing machine includes an operation state and a standby state. The working state may include a case where the motor is running, such as washing, rinsing, dehydrating, drying, etc., and the standby state may include a case where the motor is suspended or stopped, such as soaking, spin-drying, etc. When the posture of the human body is the free hand posture, the accurate prejudgment of the action intention of the user is realized by combining the running state of the equipment.
Specifically, if the running state of the equipment is the working state, the control machine door does not act. For example, when a user approaches the washing machine, the washing machine is in a washing state or a dewatering state, the washing machine is originally in a locking state, the operation of opening the washing machine is dangerous, and under the condition that the user does not forcibly suspend the operation program of the washing machine, the controller defaults to control the door not to act so as to protect the safety of the user.
If the running state of the washing machine is detected to be a standby state, if the washing machine finishes spin-drying, the user can go without hand to take the clothes away, and the controller controls the machine door to be automatically opened, so that the operation of the user is facilitated, and the strength of the user is saved.
According to the door control method of the clothes processing equipment, the image of the close human body is obtained, the image is processed, the characteristic model which accords with the human body is established, the characteristic model is compared with a plurality of preset models in the system, the body state of the human body is determined, the action intention of the close human body is judged in advance based on the body state, the door is controlled to be opened when the user has further operation intention, and the door is controlled not to act when no operation intention exists, so that the intelligent control of the door is realized, the operation of the user is facilitated, the additional operation burden on the user is avoided, and the user experience is improved. Compared with the control method in the prior art, the gating method provided by the invention has higher intelligent degree and better user experience.
Example 2
The door control method provided by the embodiment is different from the door control method provided by the embodiment 1 in that the door control method provided by the embodiment can not only accurately predict the action intention of a user, but also realize a child lock function, and always keeps the door locked when a child approaches the washing machine so as to prevent the child from generating danger due to misoperation.
Specifically, on the basis of embodiment 1, before processing the image and thus obtaining the characteristic model of the human body, the gating method further includes:
a height of a human body near the clothes treating apparatus is acquired. The measurement of the height of the human body can be realized in various ways, such as measuring through an installed height detection device, or acquiring pictures through an image acquisition device and processing to obtain the height, or indirectly obtaining the height of the human body and the like by means of an infrared detection technology.
After obtaining the height, the controller compares the height of the human body with a preset height threshold value. If the height is lower than the preset height threshold value, the image processing operation is not executed and the machine door is directly controlled to be locked, in such a situation, the object close to the washing machine is a child, and the machine door is controlled to be locked to protect the safety of the child, namely, the child lock function of the washing machine is realized. And if the height of the user is higher than the preset height threshold value, executing the image processing operation and the subsequent operation.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, in the power-on state of the washing machine, whether a person approaches is continuously detected, and when the person approaches, the height of the human body is obtained through an infrared detection sensor; the controller compares the height of the human body with a preset height threshold value, and judges whether the height of the human body is higher than the preset height threshold value, wherein the height of the human body higher than the preset height threshold value indicates that the human body is close to the preset height threshold value and is an adult, the controller has the ability to operate the washing machine, and the height of the human body lower than the preset height threshold value indicates that the human body is close to the preset height threshold value and is a child, and the controller has no ability to operate the washing machine; when the height of the human body is judged to be higher than a preset height threshold value, acquiring an image of the human body through an image acquisition device under the state that a machine door is closed; after obtaining the human body image, processing the image through an image processing module to obtain a characteristic model of the human body; the image processing module compares the obtained characteristic model with a preset model, so that the posture of the human body is determined according to the preset model with the highest similarity to the characteristic model; the method comprises the steps that the action intention of a human body is judged in advance based on a determined body state, whether the human body is in an empty-hand state or not is judged, if the human body is not in the empty-hand state, such as a double-hand object holding state or a single-hand object holding state, a machine door is controlled to be opened, if the washing machine at the moment is in a working state, the washing machine is controlled to be paused firstly, then the machine door is controlled to be opened, and if the washing machine at the moment is in a standby state, if clothes are soaked, the machine door is directly controlled to be opened; if the user directly walks to the washing machine, whether the washing machine is in a standby state or not is detected, if the washing machine is in the standby state, the machine door is controlled to be automatically opened, and if the washing machine is in a working state, the user does not need to operate clothes in the washing machine, and the machine door is controlled not to act.
According to the door control method provided by the embodiment, before the action of the human body is pre-judged, the height of the human body is obtained and compared with the preset height threshold value, so that whether the user with operation capability or the child without operation capability is close to the door control method is judged, the door control method directly controls the door to keep a locked state when the child is judged, and the danger of the child in the operation process is prevented.
Example 3
This example further develops the gating method of the present invention based on example 2. It is well known that some households will support pets, more commonly cats and dogs, and some dogs are giant dogs, which may be above a predetermined height threshold for distinguishing children from normal users, and that control errors and potential hazards may occur without the intervention of a disinterfering such pets. The gating method provided by the embodiment can distinguish moving objects and eliminate interference of pets.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the image acquisition and the subsequent steps in the present embodiment are the same as those in embodiment 2, and the present embodiment is different from embodiment 2 in that the door control method provided by the present embodiment further includes the following steps before acquiring the height of the human body close to the clothes treatment apparatus:
and detecting whether a moving object approaches the washing machine, and judging the type of the approaching moving object when detecting that the moving object approaches the washing machine, so as to judge whether the moving object is a human body. For example, the temperature of the moving object is detected by a pyroelectric infrared sensor, the temperature of a normal human body is different from that of a pet, and whether the human body or the pet is close to the pet can be conveniently distinguished by the temperature. If the person is judged to be a non-human body, the operation of obtaining the height is not executed, and the door is controlled not to act; if the human body is judged, the operation of obtaining the height and the subsequent operation are executed.
This embodiment just carries out subsequent detection and judgment operation when the human body is close to through distinguishing all moving objects that are close to before detecting human height, controls the machine door and does not respond when non-human body is close to can get rid of the error control phenomenon, improve the gate control precision.
It is to be noted that "higher than" or "lower than" in the present invention includes "equal to" in the case of the present invention.
So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the invention.
