Description

Capacitive imaging sensor and gesture form sensing method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of capacitive imaging sensing, and relates to a non-contact gesture form sensing method.
Background
The perception of gesture form is one of the important research directions in human-computer interaction technology, and the method is mainly used in the fields of robot control, virtual reality, sign language recognition, game control and the like, and has recently gained wide attention and research. The method aims to analyze the specific meaning of each space gesture by using a computer through a certain means so as to acquire the whole expression information of a gesture initiator, thereby achieving the purpose of realizing human-computer interaction. The current gesture shape perception is mainly divided into two categories of non-contact recognition and contact recognition.
The non-contact gesture form perception scheme is mainly based on gesture recognition perception of computer vision, mainly depends on optical imaging, collects spatial image information to analyze hand characteristics, and distinguishes images in a deep learning mode. The gesture form perception technology based on computer vision can identify complex gestures, is high in accuracy, is extremely easy to be interfered by external environment light, is low in operation efficiency and poor in real-time performance, and depends on high-performance peripherals and processors. In the CN201711224479.7 patent, gesture recognition is mainly performed by means of images, and the recognition operation relies on a depth information recognition technology, and is basically developed by color images collected by a camera. The image is greatly influenced by ambient light, and because the data and information input in different illumination environments have large difference, the identification efficiency in the environment with poor light is low. Another non-contact scheme is to use a capacitive sensing sensor to identify gestures, and the cn201710473710.x patent uses a capacitive detection module to detect dynamic gestures, and is applied to a human-computer interaction system of household appliance control and automobiles. The invention uses the capacitance sensing unit to detect the gesture approach signal, if the sensing signal is effective, the gesture control signal is generated according to the sensing sequence of the sensing signal, so as to judge the dynamic sensing action of the gesture. The recognized gesture is single, and only the movement direction of the gesture can be judged, for example, the gesture can be recognized from left to right and from top to bottom, but fixed gestures cannot be recognized. It can be seen that there are many disadvantages, such as single gesture motion, large requirement for gesture motion space, and failure to complete gesture recognition.
There are currently a few non-mainstream non-contact gesture shape sensing technologies based on radar, infrared, laser, electromagnetic sensors, etc., but due to the long response time of sensors (e.g., radar), the influence of the environment (e.g., infrared and laser) and the insensitivity of targets made of non-magnetic materials (e.g., magnetic sensors). Compared with other technologies, the capacitive imaging sensor of the invention has good characteristics: simple design, low power consumption, high sensitivity, strong anti-interference capability and the like.
At present, the mainstream gesture form perception solution is mainly contact identification, and the problem that the gesture form perception solution is not easy to wear exists, such as wearable strain resistors and inertial sensors. The CN201721290807.9 patent designs a conductive material layer and a recognition control circuit for human skin contact, and CN107907146A proposes a gesture recognition method based on liquid metal electrode gloves, such contact gesture recognition is cumbersome to wear and needs to contact with human skin.
The design intensively considers the defects existing in the current gesture recognition scheme, and provides the non-contact capacitive imaging sensor based on the capacitance. The array type capacitive imaging sensor with high sensitivity is designed, a bottom layer single chip microcomputer and a digital capacitive converter complete capacitance value collection and filtering algorithm processing of a multi-path capacitor combination, and an upper computer receives stable capacitance imaging data to realize quick and accurate judgment of non-contact gesture forms.
Disclosure of Invention
The capacitance imaging sensor is adopted to carry out three-dimensional imaging on a target object, a capacitor is formed between the target object and the capacitance sensing polar plate, the capacitance value is increased along with the decrease of the distance between the outline edge of the target object and the capacitance polar plate, and otherwise, the capacitance value is decreased; the capacitance value is increased along with the increase of the relative area of the outline edge of the target object and the capacitance plate, and is reduced otherwise; the space polar plate combination of the capacitive imaging sensor is constructed by relying on the principle and forms a plurality of capacitor combinations, and the combination of the capacitors and the space distribution of the polar plates can sense the contour edge of the target object through the change of capacitance. The object contour edge can change the capacitance value of each capacitor, the capacitance value of each capacitor changes along with the space change of the contour edge, the three-dimensional shape of the target object can be drawn, and the formed three-dimensional shape is the imaging result of the capacitive imaging sensor on the target object. The imaging result can be used for morphological perception and tracking of complex gestures.
The present invention constructs a non-contact array capacitive imaging sensor system to measure the capacitive signal generated by the target object and the plate without direct contact with the target object profile edge. The invention aims to provide an object form perception scheme resisting external electromagnetism and ambient visible light interference. The invention designs an array type space capacitor polar plate, the polar plate is made of strip electrodes, and the space array capacitor polar plate collects capacitance values generated by the contour edge of an object in a frame and uses the capacitance values for imaging of gesture forms. Variable capacitance is formed between the hand and the array polar plate, and the capacitance is changed due to the change of the relative area of the distance between the hand with different forms and the polar plate in the space. The high-frequency digital capacitance converter is used for collecting and amplifying weak capacitance generated by the array polar plate and the target gesture in the space, and the gesture capacitance value can be captured with high precision. Each single-array strip electrode has one path of signal acquisition, and the multi-path array capacitance signals can acquire capacitance values of corresponding multi-channel polar plates for different specific gestures under the state that hands are randomly placed in a suspended state, so that multi-dimensional characteristic data acquisition of human body gestures is realized. The invention relates to a non-contact sensing technical scheme with low power consumption, low cost and high resolution, which takes multi-channel capacitance data as gesture form sensing characteristics, wherein the capacitance has higher resistance to environment light intensity interference and electromagnetic interference, and can fully realize accurate sensing of gesture forms in high-noise environments and environments with weak light intensity. The array capacitance data of the multi-channel capacitor combination of the array capacitance imaging sensor can be effectively applied to machine learning and deep learning, and efficient non-contact gesture form sensing is achieved.
The capacitive imaging method provided by the invention is an imaging method free from ambient light interference and electromagnetic interference, and has the advantages of simple construction, low cost, good stability and the like. Compared with the existing imaging system, the imaging system formed by the invention has strong anti-interference performance and can be conveniently applied to the fields of gesture recognition, human-computer interaction and the like. The array structure of the non-contact capacitive imaging sensor is as follows:
structure 1: as shown in fig. 1, a diamond-frame capacitive imaging sensor structure is designed, and four channels CH0, CH1, CH2 and CH3 of a capacitive transducer are respectively connected to strip electrodes of a diamond frame, so as to form a diamond-frame capacitive imaging sensor with 4 channels of collected signals. Each polar plate finishes one-path signal acquisition, the two-path polar plates form a pair of opposite capacitors, and a pair of variable capacitors is formed between the polar plates and the target gesture. As shown in fig. 6, a variable capacitor is formed between the capacitor plate and the gesture with a specific shape, and the variable capacitor is used as spatial imaging data sensed by the gesture shape. Channels CH0, CH1, CH2 and CH3 are connected to a capacitor pole plate through a shielding wire not longer than 10CM to form two pairs of capacitor sampling plates, aiming at the space complexity of complex gestures, the channels CH0 and CH1 are designed into a top diamond-shaped frame type pole plate, and channels CH2 and CH3 are connected with a bottom pole plate, so that weak signal acquisition of the space complex gestures is realized. The capacitance change can be caused by the weak change of the number of the fingers, the approaching distance between the fingers and each polar plate and the relative area change of the fingers and the polar plates can generate a sampling value with obvious capacitance difference, such as two gestures of 'stone' and 'scissors', the obvious capacitance increase can be caused by the fingers approaching the top polar plate in the 'scissors' gesture, and the gesture change and the gesture type can be determined by the multi-polar plate capacitance data characteristics.
Structure 2: as shown in fig. 2, the spatial structure of the spherical array capacitive imaging sensor uses 3 capacitive converters, and 9 channels of the capacitive converters are respectively connected to a spatial array plate to be used as an array spatial capacitive acquisition sensor. The spatial structure of the array plates is shown in fig. 2, each array is used as a capacitor plate and is responsible for completing signal acquisition, a hand is used as a common plate of a relative capacitor, and a pair of variable capacitors is formed between the plates and a target gesture. The single-channel connection circuit for capacitance acquisition is shown in fig. 6, a variable capacitance is formed between a strip-shaped capacitor plate and a target gesture, and the multi-dimensional array capacitance is used as feature data for gesture classification. The spatial structure of the spherical array type capacitive imaging sensor effectively improves the gesture resolution in the vertical direction, is sensitive to the movement of fingers in the vertical direction, and effectively improves the resolution of complex gestures in the vertical direction. Because the strip-shaped arrays are sequentially arranged along the cambered surface of the sphere in the space, when the finger moves in the vertical direction, the capacitance value of one polar plate is weakened, and the capacitance value of the opposite polar plate is increased. The structure is sensitive to capacitance change caused by finger movement in the vertical direction, and the change of the number of fingers can cause obvious change of the capacitance of the polar plate opposite to the fingers.
Structure 3: as shown in fig. 3, the spatial structure of the horizontal semicircular array capacitive imaging sensor applies 3 capacitive converters, and 12 channels of the capacitive converters are respectively connected to the spatial array plate, and the bottom plate is connected to GND. Each array in the transverse semicircle is used as a capacitor polar plate to finish signal acquisition, and the hand is placed on the surface of the GND polar plate at the bottom and is used as a common polar plate of the relative capacitor. As shown in FIG. 6, a variable capacitor is formed between the capacitor plate and the gesture of the target, and the variable capacitor is used as the characteristic data for gesture classification. The space structure of the transverse semicircular array type capacitive sensor can effectively improve the gesture resolution in the depth direction, is sensitive to the movement change of the gesture in the depth direction, and effectively improves the resolution of complex gestures in the depth direction. Because the strip-shaped arrays are sequentially arranged in the vertical direction in the space, when a finger moves in the depth direction, the capacitance value of some plates can be changed. When the finger stretches out, a plurality of polar plates can sense the capacitance; when the finger is bent and changed, the number of the opposite capacitor plates is changed, and the capacitance value of the array is obviously changed. The structure is sensitive to capacitance change caused by finger movement in the depth direction, and the change of the bending degree of the finger can cause the change of the polar plate opposite to the finger, for example, the finger bending movement can cause the finger to be far away from the former polar plate and to be close to the latter polar plate. The method realizes the resolution of complex gestures changing in the depth direction, and the change of capacitance is caused by the weak change of the extending hand index.
Structure 4: as shown in fig. 4, the longitudinal semicircular array type capacitive imaging sensor space structure. The structure uses 3 capacitive converters, 12 channels of the capacitive converters are respectively connected to a space array polar plate, and a bottom polar plate is connected with GND (ground potential) to be used as an array type capacitive imaging sensor. Each array is used as a capacitor plate and is responsible for completing signal acquisition of one path, a hand is used as a common plate of a relative capacitor, and the hand is placed on the surface of a GND (ground) plate at the bottom. As shown in FIG. 6, a variable capacitor is formed between the capacitor plate and the gesture of the target, and the variable capacitor is used as the characteristic data for gesture classification. The longitudinal semicircular array type capacitive sensor space structure is sensitive to the depth of the gesture and the number of the extending fingers, and the gesture resolution in the depth direction and the vertical direction can be effectively improved. For example, the degree of bending of the finger will cause the capacitance of the plate opposite to the finger to change, and when the finger is bent away from the corresponding plate, the capacitance value will be weakened; when the gesture vertically moves up and down, the opposite target polar plate is changed; when the number of the extending fingers is different, the number of the plates causing the capacitance change is also different. The structure has sensitive sensing capability to the number of the extending fingers and the depth of the inserted fingers.
The design of the gesture form perception system based on the capacitive imaging sensor comprises the following hardware and software parts:
(1) designing a hardware system: the four array space capacitance imaging sensors are designed, and a high-frequency digital capacitance converter is used for collecting complex gesture forms in a frame and capacitance values generated by capacitor plates.
The array capacitive imaging sensor space hardware structure is shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4, and the array capacitive plate can accurately acquire complex gesture forms in a frame and capacitance values generated by the capacitive plate. The design considers the space free form perception design when hands with different forms are suspended, the array type space capacitance imaging sensor with high sensitivity is designed, the bottom layer single chip microcomputer completes multi-channel filtering algorithm processing, and the upper computer receives and obtains stable array capacitance values, so that the non-contact gesture form can be rapidly and accurately judged.
The bottom layer controller selects STM32F103, and a plurality of FDC2214 capacitance digital converters are used for respectively connecting the multi-channel capacitance acquisition interfaces with the unit capacitance electrodes. In the closed space, variable capacitance is formed between each group of capacitor plates and a hand, and the capacitance is changed due to the change of the relative area between a gesture with a specific shape in the space and the plates. For example, a gesture is placed on the array capacitive imaging sensor, and some specific fingers of the gesture will approach the opposite capacitive array plates, and the capacitance values of the plates will increase significantly. The single-array electrode plate surface is provided with one path of signal acquisition, and the multi-path array capacitance signals can acquire corresponding multi-channel array electrode plate capacitance values for different specific gestures under the condition that hands are randomly placed in a suspended state, so that the gestures of a human body can be accurately recognized.
As shown in fig. 9, 10 different types of gestures are defined as "stone", "scissors", "cloth", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", and "7", respectively, and the gestures are placed in the space of the array capacitive imaging sensor to complete the acquisition of the array capacitive data corresponding to the multiple gestures, and the array capacitive imaging sensor has higher sensitivity to the gesture change through testing. The simplified graph of the change of the electric field lines of the capacitor plates caused by the gestures is shown in fig. 10, different gestures are put into the plate array space, different capacitance values are generated between the different gestures and the different plates, and the change of the capacitance difference caused by the different gestures is shown in fig. 11.

The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3, and fig. 4, the present invention designs 4 array capacitive imaging sensor spatial structures, which are used as array plate structures of the spatial capacitive imaging sensor, and can acquire capacitance data caused by a target gesture between the array plates. The embedded processor selects STM32F103 with a multi-block FDC2214 capacitive-to-digital converter. Each array in the capacitive imaging sensor structure is used as a capacitive pole plate and is responsible for completing signal acquisition of one path, a hand is used as a common electrode of a relative capacitor, and the hand is placed on the surface of a GND pole plate at the bottom. As shown in FIG. 6, a variable capacitor is formed between the capacitor plate and the gesture with a specific shape, and the variable capacitor is used as gesture shape sensing classification data. A simplified graph of the change of the electric field lines of the capacitor plates caused by a single gesture is shown in fig. 10, different form gestures are put into the plate array space, different capacitance values are generated between the different form gestures and the different plates, and the simplified graph of the change of the capacitance difference caused by the different form gestures is shown in fig. 11.
An FDC2214 capacitor-to-digital converter is used for acquiring multi-channel space capacitor values (C0, C1, C2 and C3 …), the multi-channel space capacitor values are transmitted to an outdoor unit control board through an I2C interface, an STM32F103 is used as a lower computer microprocessor, and a circuit diagram is acquired based on an FDC2214 capacitor as shown in fig. 7.

And outputting the space capacitance values with smaller variation amplitude difference, and uploading the space capacitance values serving as classification data to an upper computer to realize neural network model classification. The flow chart of multivariate data collection and transmission is shown in fig. 8.
The STM32F103 is used as a microprocessor, and the longitudinal array type frame-type capacitive acquisition sensor is selected to acquire data of different gestures in space. Gesture definitions as shown in fig. 9, 10 different types of gestures are defined as "stone", "scissors", "cloth", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6" and "7", respectively. The capacitive imaging sensor will collect spatial capacitance data corresponding to the gesture.
STM32103 is selected as a processor, and STM32F103 uploads acquired multi-channel capacitance data to an upper computer after median average filtering processing. The signal collecting line of the polar plate is connected to the capacitance sampling plate through a shielding line which is not longer than 10CM, and when the conducting wire which is obtained through experimental tests and is used for connecting the channel of the sampling polar plate and the strip electrode is a common conducting wire, the interference is obviously much larger than that of the shielding line, and meanwhile, the interference is larger when the conducting wire is longer, so that the shielding line which is not larger than 10CM is selected.

As shown in fig. 13, the gestures "stone" and "scissors" on channel 1 showed significant difference on a single channel, and the test data was stable after the filtering process.
In the model training test, a longitudinal array frame type capacitive imaging sensor is selected for data acquisition, and the structure is shown in figure 4. The method comprises the steps of carrying out capacitance data acquisition on 10 gestures of three testers, namely 'stone', 'scissors' and 'cloth', wherein the data acquisition data of each gesture is 540 groups, carrying out model training by using the data acquisition data, and then checking the generalization capability of a model and the accuracy of gesture recognition.

The activation function selects nonlinear rectifying linear unit Relu and Softmax activation functions. For the multi-channel capacitance data structure, the final determination uses the network node configuration and the hyper-parameter initial value settings as shown in tables 1 and 2. For learning rate (learning rate) in the hyper-parameters, we set an exponential decay of the learning rate to help network convergence, and for batch size (batch size) and training round (epoch num) in the hyper-parameters, we use early-stop detection to avoid overfitting of the network.
