Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, there is provided a method for measuring accuracy of a TOF module, comprising the steps of:
and S300, controlling an emission unit of the TOF module to emit light rays to an incident optical fiber.
The incident optical fiber forms two or more branch optical fibers after being branched, and the optical path lengths of the branch optical fibers are different. Specifically, the controller, such as a computer or a microprocessor, may control the emission unit of the TOF module to emit light into the incident optical fiber, for example, the computer writes a corresponding control program to control the emission unit of the TOF module to emit infrared light into the incident optical fiber according to a predetermined frequency. The incoming optical fiber may be a total optical fiber (the number of incoming optical fibers is also not limited, and in other embodiments, the number of incoming optical fibers may be multiple), and the incoming optical fiber may be split by a splitter (the splitter may be a fiber coupler, etc.) to form multiple branch optical fibers, where the lengths of the branch optical fibers (the lengths of the branch optical fibers, i.e., the optical path lengths) are different. It can be understood that, after the light emitted from the emitting unit enters the incident optical fiber, the emitted light enters each branch optical fiber through the splitter, then continues to propagate in each branch optical fiber, and finally exits from the light exit of each branch optical fiber, where the light exiting from the light exit of the branch optical fiber represents the reflected light.
It should be noted that the TOF module may be a 3D-TOF camera module, which includes a transmitting unit and a receiving module, where the transmitting unit may transmit light (e.g., may transmit infrared light) to an optical fiber, and after the infrared light is transmitted, the infrared light is transmitted through the optical fiber to complete a closed loop of an optical path, so as to obtain reflected infrared light, and at this time, the receiving unit captures an image according to the reflected infrared light.
S400, acquiring a sampling image, and acquiring a depth distance value in the sampling image.
The sampling image is formed by shooting light reflected by each branch optical fiber by a receiving unit of the TOF module, and data communication can be carried out between the receiving unit of the TOF module and the controller (such as a computer) to obtain the sampling image, and corresponding algorithm operation is carried out to obtain a depth distance value in the sampling image.
It should be noted that, when light is reflected from the light outlet of each branch optical fiber, the receiving unit of the TOF module performs shooting at this time, and a sampling image is obtained according to the reflected light, and because the optical path lengths of each branch optical fiber are different, the propagation times of the light in the branch optical fibers are different, so that the depth distance values formed by the light reflected from the light outlet of each branch optical fiber in the sampling image are different. It should be noted that the depth distance value, i.e., the light ray, is emitted from the emitting unit and received by the receiving unit, and is obtained by shooting to obtain a sampled image, and then the receiving unit calculates according to the sampled image. Under ideal state, the depth distance value is equal with optic fibre optical path length, but receives the precision restriction of TOF module, can make depth distance value and optic fibre optical path length unequal, for example when shooing a certain object through the relatively poor TOF module of precision, the depth distance value that obtains in the object image that obtains from shooing will differ with the actual distance between object and the TOF module. Existing 3D cameras (e.g., 3D-TOF cameras, depth cameras, etc.) can obtain a distance between the camera and an object (i.e., a depth distance value) by capturing an image, calculating a time that a light ray passes from being emitted to being reflected back, and when the object has an irregular contour, obtaining a contour model of the object by capturing the image with the 3D camera. Obtaining the depth distance value from the sampled image is a conventional technique, and for example, the depth distance value may be obtained by performing analysis calculation through a corresponding algorithm, which is not described herein again.
S500, comparing the depth distance value with the optical path length of each branch optical fiber to obtain a comparison result.
Specifically, taking the example that the incident optical fiber is branched into two branched optical fibers, the optical path lengths of the two branched optical fibers are different. As already described above, the depth distance value represents a sampled image captured by the light reflected by the branch optical fiber by the receiving module of the TOF module, and is obtained from the sampled image, and the distance value is calculated by some series of algorithms according to the sampled image after the TOF module captures the sampled image. A controller (e.g., a computer) compares the depth distance value with the optical path length to obtain a comparison result. The comparison result may be a data difference value, for example, a difference operation is performed between the depth distance value and the optical path length, or the comparison result may also be a data coefficient, for example, a division operation is performed between the depth distance value and the optical path length, and the data type of the comparison result is not unique, which is not illustrated herein.
S700, acquiring the precision value of the TOF module according to the comparison result.
The controller (e.g., a computer) compares the comparison result with a preset accuracy table, so as to obtain accuracy values of the TOF module at different distances, where, for example, the preset accuracy table includes accuracy ranges of the TOF module at distances of 1m, 2m, 3m, and the like, when the comparison result is in the accuracy range, it indicates that the accuracy of the TOF module at the distance is better, and when the comparison result is outside the accuracy range, it indicates that the accuracy of the TOF module at the distance is worse.
According to the method, the incident optical fiber is divided into the multiple paths of branch optical fibers, so that the receiving unit of the TOF module can receive the light rays reflected by the branch optical fibers with different multi-path optical path lengths to form the sampling image, the TOF module can rapidly acquire the depth distance values corresponding to the different optical path lengths, the tedious step that the position of the TOF module needs to be continuously adjusted to obtain the different depth distance values is avoided, the precision measurement efficiency of the whole TOF module is improved, and the TOF module is suitable for large-batch evaluation.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, before step S300, the method further includes the steps of:
s100, judging whether the preset station has a TOF module currently.
S200, if yes, butting the emission unit of the TOF module with the incident optical fiber, and entering the step S300.
In the process of performing precision measurement on the TOF module, corresponding stations can be set according to the flow steps, each station corresponds to one flow step, the preset station can be an initial station where the TOF module starts to perform precision measurement, a corresponding infrared sensing device can be installed at the preset station, and the like, when the infrared sensing device senses that the TOF module exists at the preset station, the infrared sensing device can transmit a sensing signal to a controller (for example, a computer), and the controller (for example, the computer) can transmit a corresponding control signal to an auxiliary manipulator or a mobile platform, so that the TOF module on the preset station is in butt joint with an incident optical fiber, and then the process goes to step S300.
Whether have the TOF module in presetting the station through setting up and detecting, can make the precision measurement process automation of TOF module, need not that the operator comes manual emission unit and the butt joint of incidence optic fibre with the TOF module that awaits measuring, improve big batch TOF module precision measurement's efficiency.
In one embodiment, step S400 includes the steps of: acquiring an area image formed by the light reflected by each branch optical fiber in a sampling image; and obtaining the depth distance value of each branch optical fiber according to the area image. Specifically, because the optical path lengths of the branch optical fibers are different, the depth distance values represented by the area images formed by the light reflected by the branch optical fibers are also different. It should be noted that the area image is an image formed by light reflected by each branch optical fiber, the area images formed by light reflected by different branch optical fibers may be different, and the shape of the light outlet of a branch optical fiber may be adjusted to change the size, shape, and the like of the area image formed by the branch optical fiber, for example, the light outlet of a branch optical fiber may be adjusted to be circular or square, so that the shape and size of the area image on the sampling image are finally changed, and each branch optical fiber is conveniently distinguished and identified.
By positioning the area image formed by each branch optical fiber in the sampling image and obtaining the depth distance value of each branch optical fiber from the area image, the precision value of the TOF module at different distances can be obtained subsequently only by shooting one sampling image, and the precision measurement efficiency of the TOF module is improved.
In one embodiment, step S500 includes the steps of: and comparing the depth distance value of each branch optical fiber with the optical path length of the branch optical fiber to obtain a distance difference value, and taking the distance difference value as a comparison result.
The depth distance value of each branch optical fiber is compared with the length of the optical path of the branch, and the distance difference value of each branch optical fiber can be obtained, so that the precision measurement results of the TOF module in different branch optical fibers can be obtained.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, after step S500, the method further includes the steps of:
s600, outputting the optical path length of each branch optical fiber and the distance difference corresponding to each branch optical fiber to a display device for displaying.
The optical path length of each branch optical fiber may be preset, and the controller (e.g., a computer) may perform data communication with the display device after obtaining the distance difference corresponding to each branch optical fiber, and output the optical path length of each branch optical fiber and the distance difference corresponding to each branch optical fiber to the display device. Further, in other embodiments, the display device may be a liquid crystal display.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, after step S400, the method further includes the steps of:
and S800, judging whether the next TOF module enters a preset station or not.
And S900, if yes, controlling the emission unit of the next group of TOF modules to be in butt joint with the incident optical fiber, and proceeding to the step S300.
The preset workstation can refer to the above description, and after the controller (e.g. a computer) obtains the depth distance value of the sampled image when the last TOF module finishes shooting the sampled image, the sampled image can be stored in the memory, and then the controller (e.g. the computer) can acquire the sampled image of the next TOF module.
When precision measurement is accomplished to last a set of TOF module, can automatic control next a set of TOF module enter into preset the station, then continue to carry out precision measurement to next a set of TOF module, until accomplishing the precision measurement to all TOF modules, conveniently carry out precision measurement to big batch TOF module.
