Description

Imaging component and image imaging method for shielding ambient light interference

Technical field

The invention relates to the field of image imaging systems, and in particular to an imaging component and an image imaging method for shielding ambient light interference.

Background technique

In the rail transit industry, machine vision security systems are distinguished from the perspective of installation. The main ground-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-ground ground-to-vehicle systems are placed on the rails to capture images of key components such as the bottom of the car, side frames, and top of the car. The train status guarantees the safety of the train. The train-to-ground system is mainly placed on the train to photograph steel rails, contact nets, and trackside objects to ensure that the train can run normally. The machine vision security system is classified into two-dimensional imaging and three-dimensional imaging from the perspective of the image. Imaging, two-dimensional imaging is divided into line scan and area scan according to the type of camera. Three-dimensional imaging methods mainly include laser triangulation and binocular three-dimensional imaging methods, but no matter which method of imaging, there is ambient light influence .

The existing technologies have the following problems with ambient light interference:

1. Line scan 2D or surface scan 2D imaging

For outdoor use, the function of the light source is to fill the camera with light, but due to the actual use of the environment, such as the superposition of train lights and sunlight, the camera is overexposed during shooting;

2. Laser triangulation three-dimensional imaging

A beam of laser light emitted by the light source irradiates the plane of the object to be measured, and finally forms an image on the detector through reflection; when the position of the object surface changes, the image formed by it is shifted correspondingly on the detector. Through the relationship between the image shift and the actual displacement, the real object displacement can be obtained by the detection and calculation of the object image shift. Therefore, when the camera is collecting its own line laser, if there is the sun or light with the same spectrum as the line laser When it is irradiated, the camera will shoot other light spots. Therefore, the camera will make an error when extracting each light spot on the line of the line array laser, and there will be differences in the distance between the near and far positions.

At present, the general method of this technology is to increase the brightness of the laser, reduce the exposure time of the camera, and increase the threshold of the camera to remove the ambient light. However, it cannot be solved due to the following reasons: (1) The power of the laser is very high. There is a big safety factor risk. Secondly, its brightness should be stronger than direct sunlight, the light source is difficult to make, and the volume will be large; (2) Install a detection shed in the outdoor environment (expensive) to avoid direct sunlight, Properly strengthen the laser brightness and increase the threshold to remove light interference below the laser brightness.

The influence of ambient light interference on imaging is as follows: (1) The imaging effect. When there is light interference, the two-dimensional image will be overexposed. Therefore, people cannot see the true state of the train components, and there may be leakage failures that may cause the train. There is a safety hazard when driving. (2) Image recognition effect. With the introduction of machine vision imaging technology, the original train inspection has changed from outdoor manual inspection to indoor inspection and maintenance. However, in recent years, the number of trains has been increased for six times, and the number of EMUs and subways has been increasing. Railway personnel are in short supply, and the original image-viewing detection mode can no longer meet the requirements. Therefore, the intervention of three-dimensional imaging in recent years has brought the hope of solving image recognition for intelligent train image recognition. When all trains fail, either shape will occur. Changes are either lost or increased. Therefore, as long as the depth information of the train can be accurately obtained and compared with the pre-built standard model, the problem of human inspection and machine inspection can be solved. The first set of equipment was installed in a large shed to verify the effect of the test. However, outdoors, especially when shooting the shoulders, roofs and contact nets, there will inevitably be direct sunlight problems. In order to solve this problem on the railway, the inspection vehicle can only be used at night. Perform detection, which greatly reduces efficiency.

detailed description

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only It is a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the terms “first” and “second” in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and not necessarily used to describe a specific sequence or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations of them are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, device, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those clearly listed. Those steps or units may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or equipment.

The object to be measured has a static state and a moving state. In the two states, the imaging component that shields ambient light interference provided in this application can be used to capture images without ambient light interference. The principle is explained as follows:

The first case: when the object to be measured is still, the camera exposing in rapid succession, because the camera exposing in rapid succession, the possibility of ambient light change is regarded as 0, and the two pictures taken are shown in Figure 1 (the camera captures the laser line and the sun Or ambient light) and Figure 2 (the camera only captures the sun or ambient light), because the measured object is still, the measured object in the two pictures is not moving, the corresponding coordinates of the two pictures are subtracted to get Figure 3 (picture 1. Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are schematic diagrams), Fig. 3 only has the laser line, and there is no sun or ambient light, which means that the imaging component has been shielded from ambient light interference, and an image shielded from ambient light interference is obtained.

The second case: When the object to be measured (such as a high-speed train) is moving, because the camera is a high-speed camera, the connected exposure frequency is within 20US. When the high-speed train runs at a maximum speed of 300KM/H, it is about 83 meters per second, 1ms About 83mm, the 20Us train travels about 1.6mm. In the image algorithm, the error is basically unaffected. Also, due to the short time, the measured object can be regarded as stationary. The same is true for the first case described above.

When an individual camera needs to store time for shooting, the camera cannot continuously and quickly expose, which causes the train to move a long way before shooting, so it will not be possible. Therefore, the applicant proposes the following improvement plan.

Or, first turn off the compensation light source, use the image sensor to collect the first image signal, then turn on the compensation light source within the preset time threshold range, use the image sensor to collect the second image signal, and then compare the first image signal with the first image signal. Second, the image signal is subtracted from the number of CCD photosensitive charges to obtain an image signal that eliminates ambient light interference.

When the measured object is stationary, the ambient light interference image is obtained by this solution, and is not affected by time; when the measured object moves, the acquisition time difference between the first image signal and the second image signal is less than the preset time threshold , The faster the moving speed of the measured object, the smaller the preset time threshold, and the measured object can be regarded as stationary; in one embodiment, the preset time threshold is 20 Us.

Describe the image sensor and the number of CCD photosensitive charges, as follows: Charge coupling device image sensor CCD, which is made of a high-sensitivity semiconductor material, can convert light into electric charge, through analog-to-digital conversion The chip is converted into a digital signal. After the digital signal is compressed, it is stored in the camera's internal flash memory or built-in hard disk card. Therefore, the data can be easily transmitted to the computer, and the image can be modified as needed with the help of the computer's processing means. CCD is composed of many photosensitive units, usually in megapixels. When the surface of the CCD is illuminated by light, each photosensitive unit will reflect the charge on the component, and the signals generated by all the photosensitive units are added together to form a complete picture.

The second position is that the filter 2 is arranged on the optical path between the camera lens 1 and the beam splitter 7, see FIG. 10 for details. The third position is that a first filter 10 is provided on the first optical path between the beam splitter 7 and the first image sensor 8, and the second optical path between the beam splitter 7 and the second image sensor 9 A second filter 11 is provided, see FIG. 9 for details. The filter is selected according to the spectrum of the compensation light source, and different filters are determined according to specific needs.

When the measured object is stationary, the ambient light interference image is obtained by this solution, and is not affected by time; when the measured object moves, the acquisition time difference between the first image signal and the second image signal is less than the preset time threshold , The faster the measured object moves and the smaller the preset time threshold, the measured object can be regarded as stationary.

The difference between embodiment 4 and embodiment 1-3 lies in the number of image sensors. There is one image sensor in embodiment 1-3, and there are two image sensors in embodiment 4. When there is one image sensor, there are two reasons. The storage time of the second shot will be affected, and the camera requirements are very high, and a high-speed camera is required; another image sensor ensures that the angle of the measured object is exactly the same in the two shots; when there are two image sensors, the storage time of the two shots has a greater impact Small, the time gap between the two acquisitions can be ignored, continuous and rapid exposure can be achieved, and the requirements for the camera are low; the other two image sensors may have deviations in the angle of the measured object twice, so the first image needs to be guaranteed The acquisition angles of the sensor and the second image sensor are the same to reduce the effect of deviation.

The further explanation of Example 4 in this application is as follows:

In Embodiment 4 of the present application, two image sensors are used. When light enters the camera lens, the light is split by a light splitter so that the effects of the object scene and ambient light captured by the two cameras are consistent. The device also needs to ensure that the two image sensor models are sensitive The parameters of the two image sensors are the same during use. The specific instructions are as follows: turn on the light source, and the first image sensor takes pictures of moving or stationary objects as shown in Figure 1 (the camera captures the laser line and the sun or ambient light) As shown, the light source is turned off, the first image sensor stops collecting, and the second camera is exposed and collected separately as shown in Figure 2 (the camera only captures the sun or ambient light). The final subtraction is performed as shown in Figure 3 below, with only laser Line, there is no sun or ambient light, it means that through this imaging component, the ambient light interference has been shielded, and an image shielded from the ambient light interference has been obtained.

Further, the acquisition time of the first image signal and the acquisition time of the second image signal are equal, and the time taken by one image sensor (CCD) for two separate shooting is the same, or, the time taken by two image sensors (CCD) for shooting separately Consistency can ensure that the amount of ambient light entering the CCD is the same, and it also ensures that the effect of removing the influence of ambient light is better.

In the above embodiments, the filters are used to filter light interference, but the placement of the filters is different. Among them, if the filter is placed in front of the camera lens, it will be exposed to direct sunlight, and the characteristics of the filter will be warm. Drift will cause the effect of the filter to change, but it only slightly affects the effect, and does not affect the final result of the ambient light interference image; and the filter is placed in other positions (between the camera lens and the image sensor, the splitter and The effect is the same between the image sensors, between the camera lens and the beam splitter, or at the front end of the respective image sensors, and is not interfered by sunlight, and finally can obtain images without ambient light interference.
