Description

Parking guidance camera apparatus

The present invention relates to a camera device installed in a parking lot, and more particularly, to a parking guidance camera device that can be mounted interchangeably with an omnidirectional or unidirectional camera module without changing the structure of the body of the camera device.

The development of industrial society has provided modern people with better material abundance and a more convenient life. In particular, with the development of roads and means of transportation, the scope of modern people's activities has been greatly expanded.

In recent years, vehicles have become a necessity for people living in modern times. As such, the rapid increase in vehicle demand increased vehicle production, and the increase in vehicles resulted in a social problem of lack of parking space.

In particular, large buildings such as department stores, large stores, apartments, and hospitals, which are frequently accessed by a large number of vehicles, have large parking spaces with multiple floors, but the shortage of parking spaces has not been resolved.

In the case of a large parking lot, it consists of parking areas having a plurality of parking surfaces (parking blocks) and passageways between the parking areas. There is this. Although the method of inducing and guiding the entry of vehicles by arranging manpower in the parking space of each parking lot is used, a system for guiding parking by monitoring the available parking areas and entering vehicles has recently been proposed.

As an example, the parking guidance system installs a parking guidance camera device on a guide rail suspended from the ceiling or ceiling of a parking lot in the direction of the floor, and then provides information about a vehicle parked in a parking block or a vehicle exiting outside, a parking block, etc. It acquires various information and provides it to the driver. The parking guidance camera device for photographing parking blocks is largely divided into a camera device with an omnidirectional camera module and a camera device with a unidirectional camera module.

A parking guidance camera device with a built-in omnidirectional camera module is usually used to photograph as many parking blocks as possible. Therefore, the omnidirectional parking guidance camera device can shoot omnidirectional (360˚) for a flat space (a plane parallel to the floor) perpendicular to the virtual shooting direction from the ceiling to the floor.

On the other hand, a parking guidance camera device with a built-in one-way camera module is used to photograph a parking block located on one wall area of a parking lot or a parking block in a specific direction. Therefore, in the unidirectional parking guidance camera device, the lens of the camera module is fixed to face a specific direction.

Referring to FIG. 14 , it can be seen that the omnidirectional parking guidance camera device (a) and the unidirectional parking guidance camera device (b), which are generally used, are manufactured with different body structures. The omnidirectional parking guidance camera device (a) shoots all the parking areas parallel to the floor in the 360˚ direction with respect to the parking lot floor. open) structure.

However, since the unidirectional parking guidance camera device (b) only shoots in one direction, the lower direction and the left and right directions based on the horizontal plane (direction parallel to the shooting direction) where the lens of the camera module is located can be taken due to the structure of the body frame. It has no structure.

Therefore, in the prior art, when installing a parking guidance camera device in a parking lot, after checking an area for omnidirectional shooting and an area for unidirectional shooting, it was necessary to arrange a parking guidance camera device suitable for each area.

In particular, in the prior art, since the omnidirectional parking guidance camera device and the unidirectional parking guidance camera device have different body structures, the fisheye lens used for the omnidirectional camera module cannot be applied to the unidirectional parking guidance camera device. there is.

That is, as shown in FIG. 14, even if the unidirectional camera lens (MFZ Lens or Fixed Lens) is replaced with a fisheye lens in order to use the unidirectional parking guidance camera device (b) as an omnidirectional parking guidance camera device, 360˚ due to the body structure Directional photography is not possible. As such, the unidirectional parking guidance camera device (b) and the omnidirectional parking guidance camera device (a) cannot be replaced only by the camera module including the lens.

As such, in the prior art, since the omnidirectional parking guidance camera device and the unidirectional parking guidance camera device are manufactured with different body structures, the number of camera devices including the body part increases, resulting in increased production cost as well as increased installation and management costs. there is
