Detailed Description
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.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of a snapshot control device of the present invention, the device including: a side sensor 10, a control module 20, and a center sensor 30, the control module 20 being connected to the side sensor 10, the target camera 00, and the center sensor 30, respectively;
the side sensor 10 is configured to send a camera on signal to the control module when detecting an object to be snap shot.
It should be noted that, the side sensor 10 may be an infrared/thermal sensor, and the snapshot control device of this embodiment may be applied to a scene where real-time snapshot or video recording of an object based on the infrared/thermal sensor is required by using, for example, an outdoor camera, a security camera, etc., and the device of this embodiment may be a camera that performs snapshot control independently of the snapshot control device, or may be integrated into the camera.
It will be appreciated that the object to be captured may be a moving animal or human or the like that is capable of being sensed by an infrared thermal sensor, and that the object to be captured may be one or more.
Further, a time threshold for the side sensor 10 to send the camera on signal to the control module 20 may be preset, and when the object to be snap-shot is plural, in order to prevent the side sensor 10 from continuously sending the camera on signal to the control module plural times in a short time so that the control module 20 accepts a large amount of repeated redundant information, all the objects monitored by the side sensor at the set time threshold may be determined as the object to be snap-shot.
The control module 20 is configured to control the target camera to enter a standby mode when the camera on signal is received.
It can be understood that the target camera 00 may be independent of the snapshot control device, and directly connected to the snapshot control device through a wire to realize data transmission and control, or may be a camera connected to realize wireless data transmission and control based on bluetooth or a data network, or may be a module integrated with other modules in the snapshot control device for shooting, which is not limited in this embodiment.
It should be noted that, the standby mode of the target camera 00 may be a mode in which the target camera 00 receives an instruction at any time after being powered on to directly take a picture or take a picture, and when the target camera 00 is in the standby mode, the target camera 00 is already started in advance, so that the target camera 00 can directly take a picture or take a picture after receiving a relevant shooting instruction, thereby avoiding a situation of untimely shooting caused by time consumption when the camera is started.
The central sensor 30 is configured to send a camera capturing signal to the control module 20 when detecting an object to be captured.
It will be appreciated that the central sensor 30 may be selected from the same infrared/thermal sensors as the side sensors 10. The center sensor 30 may be disposed at a center position within a photographing range of the target camera 00 for detecting whether an object to be snap-shot enters the photographing center position of the target camera 00 such that the object to be snap-shot is located at a center position of a viewfinder of the target camera 00 when the target camera 00 receives a photographing signal.
The control module 20 is further configured to control the target camera 00 in the standby mode to take a snapshot when the camera snapshot signal is received.
When receiving the camera capturing signal sent by the central sensor 30, the target camera 00 is started and enters the standby mode, so that the target camera 00 can be directly controlled to capture, and capturing of the object to be captured is realized.
Firstly, when a to-be-captured object is detected by a side sensor, a camera starting signal is sent to the control module; then, when the control module receives a camera starting signal, the control module controls the camera to enter a standby mode; then, when the center sensor detects an object to be captured, a camera capturing signal is sent to the control module; and finally, when receiving the camera snapshot signal, the control module controls the camera in the standby mode to take photos. According to the invention, the camera is started in advance by sending the camera starting signal to the control module when the side sensor detects the object to be captured, so that the control module can directly send the camera capturing signal to the camera in the standby state when the center sensor detects the object, the speed of capturing the object to be captured is improved, and the situation that the shooting opportunity is missed because the object to be captured moves too fast to exceed the camera starting time is avoided, and the rapid and accurate capturing of the camera is realized.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the snapshot control device of the present invention.
Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1, a block diagram of a second embodiment of the snapshot control device of the present invention is provided.
In this embodiment, the side sensor 10 includes a first side sensor 101 and a second side sensor 102, where the first side sensor 101 and the second side sensor 102 are respectively connected to the control module 20.
The first side sensor 101 is configured to send a first camera on signal to the control module 20 when detecting that an object to be snap shot exists in a first preset range.
The second side sensor 102 is configured to send a second camera on signal to the control module 20 when detecting that an object to be snap shot exists in a second preset range.
It should be noted that, the first preset range and the second preset range may be a certain distance range set in advance, and the areas included in the first preset range and the second preset range may not overlap.
It should be understood that the path of movement is covered by at least the first preset range and/or the second preset range before the object to be snap shot moves to the photographing center position of the target camera 00, i.e., the detection range of the center sensor 30.
It will be appreciated that the first camera start signal and the second camera signal may be signals for instructing the control module 20 to control the target camera 00 to be turned on to achieve the same function.
In a specific implementation, when the object to be snapped passes through the first preset range and/or the second preset range during the moving process, the object to be snapped is detected by the corresponding first side sensor 101 and/or second side sensor 102, and the first side sensor 101 and/or the second side sensor 102 sends a first camera opening signal and/or a second camera opening signal to the control module 20 so that the control module 20 controls the target camera 00 to be opened and enter a standby mode. Due to the fact that the plurality of sensors for detecting the object to be captured in advance are arranged, the fact that the object to be captured possibly passes through the shooting center position of the target camera 00 due to different moving directions is considered, the target camera 00 can be started in advance and is in a standby state capable of capturing at any time, the speed of starting the camera for capturing is further improved, and the situation that the object to be captured is captured in the center shooting position due to the fact that the camera is started and consumed is reduced.
Further, in order to reduce the power consumption, the control module 20 is further configured to control the target camera to enter the sleep mode when the camera on signal and/or the camera capturing signal is not received within a preset time.
It will be appreciated that, for the purpose of saving energy, a camera standby time may be preset for reducing the energy consumption of the target camera 00, and the preset time may be used as a maximum retention time for determining whether the target camera 00 needs to be in a state capable of executing a photographing command at any time. When the camera starting signal and/or the camera capturing signal are not received within the preset time, the shooting center position of the target camera 00 can be regarded as not being passed by the object to be captured, so that the target camera 00 can be controlled to enter the sleep mode to reduce energy consumption and protect device power consumption.
Further, a preset second time may be further set, where the preset second time may be greater in value than the preset time, and when the control module 20 does not receive the camera on signal and/or the camera capturing signal during the preset second time, a check instruction may be generated to prompt the user to determine whether at least one of the sensors included in the capturing control device, such as the central sensor 30, the first side sensor 101, and the second side sensor, has failed.
Further, the control module 20 is further configured to determine, when the camera capturing signal is received, a current mode of the target camera, and control the camera to enter a capturing mode to perform capturing when the current operating mode is a sleep mode, in consideration that there is a subject to be captured directly entering a center position within a detection range of a center sensor, i.e., a capturing range of the target camera 00, without passing through the first and/or second side sensor.
It will be appreciated that the operational modes of the camera may include, but are not limited to, a photographing mode, a standby mode, and a sleep mode, and the target camera 00 in the standby mode may directly enter the photographing mode and perform a photographing task when the control module 20 receives a camera snapshot signal. The operation mode conversion sequence of the camera may be a sleep mode-standby mode-photographing mode-standby mode.
It should be noted that, when the object to be captured directly enters the detection range of the central sensor, that is, the central position within the shooting range of the target camera 00 without passing through the first and/or second side sensors, the target camera 00 does not receive the camera on command sent from the control center, and is thus in the default sleep mode, and the control module 20 may determine the current mode of the target camera 00 when receiving the camera capturing signal sent from the central sensor 30 at this time, and control the target camera 00 to enter the shooting mode to capture when the target camera 00 is in the sleep mode.
The opposite side sensor is further defined as a first side sensor and a second side sensor, and the first side sensor sends a first camera starting signal to the control module when detecting that an object to be captured exists in a first preset range; when the second side sensor detects that an object to be captured exists in a second preset range, a second camera starting signal is sent to the control module, so that the control module controls the target camera to enter a standby mode when receiving the first camera starting signal and/or the second camera starting signal. The camera can be brought into a standby mode capable of executing shooting tasks in real time in advance in consideration of different moving directions of the object to be shot, the speed of starting the shooting by the camera is further improved, and the situation that shooting of the object with the shot at the central shooting position is missed due to starting up and consumption of the camera is reduced. And when the control module does not receive the camera starting signal and/or the camera capturing signal within the preset time, the control module controls the target camera to enter the sleep mode, so that the energy consumption can be reduced. And the condition that the object to be snapshot directly enters the detection range of the central sensor, namely the central position in the shooting range of the target camera without passing through the first and/or second side sensors is considered, so that the control module judges the current mode of the target camera when receiving the camera snapshot signal, and controls the camera to enter the shooting mode to take the snapshot when the current working mode is the dormant mode, and the flexible control of the camera snapshot is further improved by adopting the snapshot control device, and the condition of missing the snapshot is effectively reduced.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of a camera according to the present invention, and based on the above embodiment, the present invention also proposes a camera, including: the shooting module 01, the storage module 02 and the snapshot control device described above. The shooting module 01 is connected with the control module 20 and the storage module 02 respectively.
The shooting module 01 is configured to, when receiving the camera capturing signal output by the control module 20, capture a captured image, and send the captured image to the storage module 02 for storage.
Note that, in this embodiment, the shooting module 01 may be a module that needs to perform shooting task for controlling shooting by the above-mentioned snapshot control device. In order to acquire a better image of the object to be captured, the capturing module 01 may be configured to capture multiple times to obtain multiple images of the object to be captured when receiving the camera capturing signal output by the control module 20, and send the captured multiple images to the storage module 02 for storage.
Further, in order to determine a target image of the object to be snap-shot from the snap-shot plurality of images, the camera further includes: a display module 04 and an image selection module 03, wherein the image selection module 03 is respectively connected with the display module 04 and the storage module 02.
The image selecting module 03 is configured to select, from the image set in the storage module 02, an image that meets a preset standard as a target image of an object to be captured, and send the target image of the object to be captured to the display module 04 for display.
The storage module 02 may store a plurality of images of the subject to be captured, that is, an image set, which are obtained by capturing images of the subject to be captured multiple times by the capturing module 01 when receiving one camera capturing signal.
Further, the storage module 02 may be a module for caching the image set, and after the image selecting module 03 selects a target image of the object to be captured from the image set and sends the target image to the display module 04 for display, the storage module 02 may delete other images not selected as the target image in the image set.
It can be appreciated that the image of the preset standard may be an image which is in the center of the image and corresponds to the object to be captured, or an image which has a clear outline of the object to be captured and can accurately identify the species of the object to be captured. The setting standard and the number of the preset standard images may be set individually by the user, which is not limited in this embodiment.
It should be understood that the display module 04 may be configured to display, for confirmation by a user, the target image of the object to be captured selected from the image set by the image selection module 03.
According to the embodiment, the shooting module is respectively connected with the control module, the central sensor and the storage module, so that the shooting module can capture the images when receiving the camera capturing signals output by the control module, and the captured images are sent to the storage module for storage. The image selection module is also respectively connected with the display module and the storage module; and the image selection module is used for selecting an image meeting a preset standard from the image set in the storage module as a target image of the object to be captured, and sending the target image of the object to be captured to the display module for display. Multiple snapshot images can be obtained under one-time camera snapshot signals, a final target image of an object to be snapshot is obtained through screening, and more effective and reliable accurate snapshot images can be obtained when the speed of starting snapshot of the camera is improved.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a snapshot control method, and referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a first flow of the snapshot control method. In this embodiment, the snapshot control method includes the following steps:
Step S10: and when the side sensor detects the object to be snap shot, sending a camera starting signal to the control module.
It should be noted that, the main execution body of the method of this embodiment may be the above-mentioned snapshot control device, or a camera including the above-mentioned snapshot control device, or may be an electronic device with the same or similar functions, for example, other devices equipped with the above-mentioned snapshot control device. Here, the present embodiment and the following embodiments will be described taking the camera including the snapshot control device as an example based on the above embodiments.
It should be noted that, the side sensor may be an infrared/thermal sensor, and the snapshot control device of this embodiment may be applied to a scene where real-time snapshot or video recording of an object is required based on the infrared/thermal sensor, for example, an outdoor camera, a security camera, etc., where the device of this embodiment may be independent of or integrated into the camera for snapshot control by the snapshot control device.
It will be appreciated that the object to be captured may be a moving animal or human or the like that is capable of being sensed by an infrared thermal sensor, and that the object to be captured may be one or more.
Further, a time threshold for the side sensor to send the camera on signal to the control module may be preset, and when the objects to be captured are plural, in order to prevent the side sensor from continuously sending the camera on signal to the control module plural times in a short time so that the control module accepts a large amount of repeated redundant information, all the objects monitored by the side sensor at the set time threshold may be determined as the objects to be captured.
Step S20: and the control module controls the camera to enter a standby mode when receiving the camera starting signal.
It should be noted that, the standby mode of the camera may be a mode in which the camera receives an instruction at any time after being powered on to directly take a picture or take a photograph, and when the camera is in the standby mode, the camera is started in advance, so that the camera can directly take a picture or take a photograph after receiving a relevant shooting instruction, thereby avoiding the untimely shooting condition caused by time consumption when the camera is started.
Step S30: and when the center sensor detects the object to be captured, sending a camera capturing signal to the control module.
It will be appreciated that the central sensor may be the same infrared/thermal sensor as the side sensors. The center sensor can be arranged at a center position in a shooting range of the camera and used for detecting whether an object to be snap shot enters the shooting center position of the camera, so that the object to be snap shot is positioned at the center position of a view-finding frame of the camera when the camera receives shooting signals.
Step S40: and when the control module receives the camera snapshot signal, the control module controls the camera in the standby mode to take photos.
When receiving the camera capturing signal sent by the central sensor, the camera can be directly controlled to capture as the camera is started and enters the standby mode, so that capturing of the object to be captured is realized.
Firstly, when a to-be-captured object is detected by a side sensor, a camera starting signal is sent to the control module; then, when the control module receives a camera starting signal, the control module controls the camera to enter a standby mode; then, when the center sensor detects an object to be captured, a camera capturing signal is sent to the control module; and finally, when receiving the camera snapshot signal, the control module controls the camera in the standby mode to take photos. According to the invention, the camera is started in advance by sending the camera starting signal to the control module when the side sensor detects the object to be snapshot, so that the control module can directly send the camera snapshot signal to the camera in the standby state when the center sensor detects the object, the speed of starting the snapshot of the camera is improved, and the situation that the shooting opportunity is missed because the object to be snapshot moves too fast to exceed the camera starting time is avoided, and the rapid and accurate snapshot of the camera is realized.
Based on the first embodiment of the snapshot control method, a second embodiment of the snapshot control method of the present invention is provided, and referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of the second embodiment of the snapshot control method of the present invention.
Further, in order to extend the range of the detection of the object to be snap-shot by the detection sensor and to consider different moving directions of the object to be snap-shot, step S10 includes:
Step S101: when the first side sensor detects that an object to be snap shot exists in a first preset range, a first camera starting signal is sent to the control module.
Step S102: and when the second side sensor detects that the object to be snap shot exists in a second preset range, a second camera starting signal is sent to the control module.
Accordingly, step S20: comprising the following steps:
Step S20': the control module controls the camera to enter a standby mode when receiving a first camera starting signal and/or a second camera starting signal.
It should be noted that, the first preset range and the second preset range may be a certain distance range set in advance, and the areas included in the first preset range and the second preset range may not overlap.
It should be understood that the path of movement is covered by at least the first preset range and/or the second preset range before the object to be snap shot moves to the shooting center position of the camera, i.e. within the detection range of the center sensor.
It is understood that the first camera start signal and the second camera signal may be signals for instructing the control module to control the camera to be turned on to achieve the same function.
In a specific implementation, when an object to be snapped passes through a first preset range and/or a second preset range in the moving process, the object to be snapped is detected by a corresponding first side sensor and/or a second side sensor, and the first side sensor and/or the second side sensor sends a first camera starting signal and/or a second camera starting signal to a control module so that the control module controls a target camera to be started and enter a standby mode. Due to the fact that the plurality of sensors for detecting the object to be captured in advance are arranged, the fact that the object to be captured possibly passes through the shooting center position of the camera due to different moving directions is considered, the camera can be started in advance and is in a standby state capable of capturing at any time, and the situation that the object to be captured is captured in the center shooting position due to the fact that the camera is started up and consumed is further reduced.
Further, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the camera, after step S40, the method further includes:
Step S401: and when the control module does not receive the camera starting signal and/or the camera capturing signal within preset time, the control module controls the camera to enter a sleep mode.
It will be appreciated that, for the purpose of saving energy, a standby time of the camera may be preset for reducing energy consumption of the camera, and the preset time may be used as a maximum retention time for determining whether the camera needs to be in a state capable of executing a photographing command at any time. When the camera starting signal and/or the camera capturing signal are not received within the preset time, the shooting center position of the camera can be regarded as not being passed by the object to be captured, so that the camera can be controlled to enter the sleep mode to reduce energy consumption and protect device power consumption.
Further, a preset second time may be further set, where the preset second time may be greater in value than the preset time, and when the control module does not receive the camera start signal and/or the camera capture signal during the preset second time, a check instruction may be generated to prompt the user to determine whether at least one of the sensors including the capture control device, such as the center sensor, the first side sensor, and the second side sensor, has a fault.
Step S402: and when the current working mode is a dormant mode, the control module controls the camera to enter a shooting mode to perform shooting.
It is understood that the operation modes of the camera may include, but are not limited to, a photographing mode, a standby mode, and a sleep mode, and the camera in the standby mode may directly enter the photographing mode and perform a photographing task when the control module receives the camera snapshot signal. The operation mode conversion sequence of the camera may be a sleep mode-standby mode-photographing mode-standby mode.
It should be noted that, when the object to be captured directly enters the detection range of the central sensor, that is, the central position in the shooting range of the camera without passing through the first and/or second side sensors, the camera does not receive the camera start command sent from the control center, and is in a default sleep mode, and the control module can firstly determine the current mode of the camera when receiving the camera capturing signal sent from the central sensor at this time, and control the camera to enter the shooting mode to capture when the camera is in the sleep mode.
The opposite side sensor is further defined as a first side sensor and a second side sensor, and the first side sensor sends a first camera starting signal to the control module when detecting that an object to be captured exists in a first preset range; when the second side sensor detects that an object to be captured exists in a second preset range, a second camera starting signal is sent to the control module, so that the control module controls the camera to enter a standby mode when receiving the first camera starting signal and/or the second camera starting signal. The camera can be brought into a standby mode capable of executing shooting tasks in real time in advance in consideration of different moving directions of the object to be shot, so that the speed of starting the camera for shooting is further improved, and the situation that shooting of the object with the shot at the central shooting position is missed due to starting up and consumption of the camera is reduced. And when the control module does not receive the camera starting signal and/or the camera capturing signal within the preset time, the control module controls the camera to enter the sleep mode, so that the energy consumption can be reduced. And the condition that the object to be snapshot directly enters the detection range of the center sensor, namely the center position in the shooting range of the camera without passing through the first side sensor and/or the second side sensor is considered, so that the control module judges the current mode of the camera when receiving the camera snapshot signal, and controls the camera to enter the shooting mode to take the snapshot when the current working mode is the dormant mode, and the flexible control of the snapshot of the camera by adopting the snapshot control device is further improved, and the condition of missing the snapshot is effectively reduced.
Based on the above embodiments, a third embodiment of the snapshot control method of the present invention is provided, and referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of the third embodiment of the snapshot control method of the present invention.
Further, in order to selectively acquire and display the more effective image of the object to be snapped, after step S40, the method further includes:
Step S403: and when receiving a camera snapshot signal output by the control module, the shooting module performs snapshot and sends the snapshot image to the storage module for storage.
Step S404: and the image selection module selects an image meeting a preset standard from the image set in the storage module as a target image of the object to be captured, and sends the target image of the object to be captured to the display module for display.
It should be noted that, in order to obtain a better image of the object to be captured, the capturing module of the camera may be configured to capture multiple times to obtain multiple images of the object to be captured when receiving the camera capturing signal output by the control module, and send the captured multiple images to the storage module for storage.
It should be noted that, the storage module may store a plurality of images of the object to be captured, that is, an image set, obtained by capturing multiple times by the capturing module when receiving one camera capturing signal.
Further, the storage module may be a module for caching the image set, and after the image selecting module 03 selects a target image of the object to be captured from the image set and sends the target image to the display module 04 for display, the storage module may delete other images not selected as the target image in the image set.
It can be appreciated that the image of the preset standard may be an image which is in the center of the image and corresponds to the object to be captured, or an image which has a clear outline of the object to be captured and can accurately identify the species of the object to be captured. The setting standard and the number of the preset standard images may be set individually by the user, which is not limited in this embodiment.
It should be understood that the display module may be configured to display the target image of the object to be captured selected from the image set by the image selection module for confirmation by the user.
According to the embodiment, the shooting module is respectively connected with the control module, the central sensor and the storage module, so that the shooting module can capture the images when receiving the camera capturing signals output by the control module, and the captured images are sent to the storage module for storage. The image selection module is also respectively connected with the display module and the storage module; and the image selection module is used for selecting an image meeting a preset standard from the image set in the storage module as a target image of the object to be captured, and sending the target image of the object to be captured to the display module for display. Multiple snapshot images can be obtained under one-time camera snapshot signals, a final target image of an object to be snapshot is obtained through screening, and more effective and reliable accurate snapshot images can be obtained when the speed of starting snapshot of the camera is improved.
