Description

Illumination lamp using image recognition automatic control and tracking and control method thereof

The invention belongs to the field of lighting devices, in particular to a lighting lamp which utilizes image recognition to accurately determine the starting lighting time and instantly push meaningful meaningful identification warnings, effectively maintain community safety and reduce energy waste.

As shown in FIG. 8 , in order to maintain the order and safety of the community, many public places or walkways are provided with a conventional lighting 10' to provide proper illumination for the walking or activities of the person to avoid dimness due to the environment. Accidents that collide or fall; in addition, for small people with bad intentions, they are usually used to conduct illegal activities in a dim environment, so lighting can produce warning functions to reduce the probability of crime; or, Combine the monitor to capture images to provide clear and realistic images of the people at the necessary moments.

Since the conventional illumination lamp 10' only provides instant illumination for the needs, rather than the frequent use of the device, the conventional illumination lamp 10' is usually provided with a sensor that turns on the illumination when a person is perceived to be approaching, and When the person is away, the lighting is turned off. In this way, it is possible to avoid the light damage generated by the conventional illumination lamp 10' continuous illumination, and to reduce the energy loss of the conventional illumination lamp 10', and to reduce the use time to prolong the service life.

As for the sensor structure of the conventional lighting 10', the common design is to use temperature. Degree sensor 12', since the human body itself has body temperature, when the conventional illumination lamp 10' senses that there is temperature change in the surrounding environment, it can be judged that there is a person approaching, and then the light is turned on for illumination, when the temperature returns to the original state. , to judge the personnel away, you can turn off the lights and continue to stand by.

However, there is still a significant lack of structure and operation of the conventional illumination lamp 10', and there is still room for improvement, as follows: 1. First, the temperature sensor 12' mainly senses the "change" of the ambient temperature, which The sensing is from -40 ° C to 200 ° C, so any change in ambient temperature will cause misjudgment; 2. Secondly, not only humans, even animals such as cats and dogs 70', it also has body temperature changes, how to judge whether there is a reasonable People close? It is difficult to achieve by relying on body temperature; 3. Even worse, in addition to animals 70', there are many heat source devices in daily life, including various electrical appliances, steam locomotives, etc., and the heat can feel obvious changes in the distance, which is easy to cause habits. Knowing that the temperature sensor of the illuminator 10' is misjudged, thus constantly turning on and off the illuminator 10'; 4. Also, the weather factor is also a major cause of misjudgment, such as the sun 80', wind, rain, etc., will obviously change The ambient temperature causes the conventional lighting 10' to misidentify the person to approach and open.

For the foregoing various reasons, the conventional illumination lamp 10' is difficult to effectively perform the function of instant illumination, causing unnecessary light damage or power consumption, and even in some places, in order to reduce trouble, the function of the conventional illumination lamp 10' is completely turned off, so that the item The facility is out of function.

In addition, the conventional illumination lamp 10' is mostly fixedly arranged, and can only be illuminated in a single direction, so that the illumination range is limited, and it is easy to cause a dark corner, which causes the aforementioned safety or security problems.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, in order to solve the problem of the illumination dead angle, there is a conventional illumination lamp 10a' device on the market that can be rotated to track the continuous illumination of the personnel, in the manner of being mounted at different angles. A plurality of temperature sensors 12' are provided to track the illumination by determining the position of the person by the temperature difference between the temperature sensors 12'; however, since the conventional illumination lamp 10a' is still the temperature sensor 12' As a basis for judging the position of the person, it is very likely that the illumination angle is abnormal due to other heat sources during the rotation process.

Another problem is that the aforementioned conventional illumination lamp 10a' can be rotated after the person leaves the illumination range, because the heat source disappears; thus, for the conventional illumination lamp 10a' for providing the illumination of the ground 51' When there is a visitor 41a' moved from the ground 51' to the ground 52', the conventional light 10a' will eventually stay at the ground 52', and if there are other visitors 41b' then enter and exit by the ground 51' The conventional illumination lamp 10a' will not be able to provide illumination immediately, causing the dead angle of Wei'an.
