具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例，对本申请的具体实施方式作进一步详细描述。以下实施例用于说明本申请，但不用来限制本申请的范围。
图1是本申请一个实施例提供的自动回充系统的结构示意图，如图1所示，该系统至少包括：自动回充装置110和充电基座120。
自动回充装置110是指具有自动寻找充电基座功能的设备。自动回充装置110又称自移动设备、自移动机器人等，本实施例不对自动回充装置110的名称作限定。自动回充装置110包括但不限于：扫地机器人、自动导引装置(Automated Guided Vehicle，AGV)、智能割草机等，本实施例不对自动回充装置110的设备类型作限定。
充电基座120用于为自动回充装置110充电。可选地，充电基座120可以基于有线充电技术或无线充电技术为自动回充装置110充电。
本实施例中，自动回充装置110上安装有图像采集组件130，且自动回充装置110与图像采集组件130通信相连。充电基座120上设置有特征标识，并通过充电基座120的充电面展示。
其中，充电面是指充电基座120上为自动回充装置110供电的一面。
可选地，特征标识可以安装在充电面上；或者，安装在充电基座120内部，但是可以通过充电面展示、并被图像采集组件130采集(比如：特征标识为发光件，该发光件设置在充电基座120内部，且发出的光线穿过充电面射出)。
特征标识用于标识充电基座120的充电面。可选地，特征标识通过光信号(通过LED等发出的可视光信号)、或者预设图案等可视方式表示，本实施例不对特征标识的实现方式作限定。可选地，特征标识的数量为至少两个。参考图2所示的充电基座120在充电面21上设置有2个特征标识22。
可选地，至少两个特征标识通过充电面展示的展示位置相对于地面的高度相同或不同；和/或，至少两个特征标识通过充电面展示的展示位置呈中心对称。以图2为例，2个特征标识22在充电面上的展示位置相对于地面的高度相同，且在充电面上呈中心对称。
自动回充装置110用于在自动回充过程中启动图像采集组件130采集自动回充图像。
相应地，图像采集组件130用于在自动回充装置110的控制下采集自动回充图像：并将该自动回充图像发送至自动回充装置110。
自动回充装置110还用于在获取到自动回充图像之后，在自动回充图像包括特征标识时，基于特征标识在自动回充图像中的位置，确定充电基座的充电面与自动回充装置的相对位置关系；基于相对位置关系确定自动回充装置的移动方向，以使自动回充装置110向充电基座120的充电面移动。
本实施例提供的自动回充系统，通过在充电基座120的充电面设置特征标识，自动回充装置110识别该特征标识以确定与充电面之间的相对位置关系，可以保证自动回充装置110能够确定出充电基座120的充电面，以提高自动回充装置110确定出的移动方向的准确性。
图3是本申请一个实施例提供的自动回充方法的流程图，本实施例以该方法应用于图1所示的自动回充系统中，且各个步骤的执行主体为该系统中的自动回充装置110为例进行说明。该方法至少包括以下几个步骤：
步骤301，在自动回充过程中启动图像采集组件采集自动回充图像。
自动回充过程是指自动回充装置寻找充电基座的过程。
可选地，自动回充装置在自动回充装置的电量低于预设电量值时，启动图像采集组件采集自动回充图像；或者，在接收到充电指令时，启动图像采集组件采集自动回充图像。当然，自动回充装置也可以通过其它方式确定启动自动回充过程的时机，本实施例不对自动回充装置确定启动自动回充过程的时机的方式作限定。
步骤302，在自动回充图像包括特征标识时，基于特征标识在自动回充图像中的位置，确定充电基座的充电面与自动回充装置的相对位置关系。
其中，特征标识设置于充电基座上，并通过充电基座的充电面展示；该充电基座用于为自动回充装置充电。
基于特征标识在自动回充图像中的位置，确定充电基座的充电面与自动回充装置的相对位置关系，包括：获取特征标识在充电面上的安装位置；基于特征标识在自动回充图像中的位置和安装位置，确定充电面与自动回充装置之间的距离和角度。
自动回充装置基于相似三角形原理基于特征标识在自动回充图像中的位置和安装位置，确定充电面与自动回充装置之间的距离和角度。
在一个示例中，特征标识的数量为至少两个。此时，对于每个特征标识，自动回充装置基于该特征标识的安装位置确定图像采集组件与特征标识在与地面垂直的方向上的第一垂直方向距离；获取特征标识的图像位置与自动回充图像的图像中心点在与地面垂直的方向上的第二垂直方向距离；基于第一垂直方向距离、第二垂直方向距离、以及图像采集组件的焦距，计算图像采集组件与特征标识在行进方向上的第一方向距离；获取特征标识的图像位置与自动回充图像的图像中心点在与地面平行的方向上的第二方向图像距离；基于第一方向距离、第二方向图像距离以及图像采集组件的焦距，计算图像采集组件与特征标识在与地面平行、且与行进方向垂直的方向上的第二方向距离；基于每个特征标识的第一方向距离、每个特征标识的第二方向距离，确定充电面与自动回充装置之间的角度。
对于第一垂直方向距离的获取过程，自动回充装置中预先存储有图像采集组件相对于地面的高度H1、以及各个特征标识相对于地面的高度H2(或者存储有各个特征标识相对于充电面底部的距离、以及充电面底部相对于地面的距离，从而得到H2)；基于H1和H2之差可以得到图像采集组件与特征标识在与地面垂直的方向上的第一垂直方向距离。
可选地，本申请中，与地面垂直的方向也可以称为高度方向、z方向等，本实施例不对与地面垂直的方向的名称作限定。
第二垂直方向距离即为第一垂直方向距离通过图像采集组件成像后在自动回充图像上的距离。
对于第一方向距离的获取过程，自动回充装置中预存有图像采集组件的焦距；由于图像采集组件的焦距与第二垂直方向距离构成的三角形，相似于第一方向距离与第一垂直方向距离构成的三角形，因此，基于三角形相似原理，即可基于第一垂直方向距离、第二垂直方向距离、以及图像采集组件的焦距，计算出第一方向距离。
可选地，本申请中，在行进方向上也可以称为图像采集组件的水平采集方向、y方向等，本实施例不对行进方向的名称作限定。
第二方向图像距离即为第二方向距离通过图像采集组件成像后在自动回充图像上的距离。
对于第二方向距离的获取过程，由于图像采集组件的焦距与第二方向图像距离构成的三角形，相似于第一方向距离与第二方向距离构成的三角形，因此，基于三角形相似原理，即可基于第一方向距离、第二方向图像距离以及图像采集组件的焦距，计算出第二方向距离。
可选地，本申请中，与地面水平、且与行进方向垂直的方向也可以称为高度方向、x方向等，本实施例不对与地面垂直的方向的名称作限定。
基于每个特征标识的第一方向距离、每个特征标识的第二方向距离，确定充电面与自动回充装置之间的角度，通过下述公式表示：
tanα＝S/L
S＝((X1*S2)+(X2*S1))/(X1+X2)
L＝((X1*L2)+(X2*L1))/(X1+X2)
其中，α为充电面与自动回充装置之间的角度，对于多个特征标识中的任意两个特征标识，X1为任一特征标识与充电面的中心轴线之间的距离、L1为该特征标识的第一方向距离、S1为该特征标识的第二方向距离；X2为另一特征标识与充电面的中心轴线之间的距离、L2为另一特征标识的第一方向距离、S2为另一特征标识的第二方向距离；L为充电面与自动回充装置之间的第一方向距离；S为充电面与自动回充装置之间的第二方向距离。
参考图4所示的充电面41与自动回充装置42之间位置关系的示意图。充电面41上设置有2个特征标识43。基于图4的示意图，可以将充电面41与自动回充装置42之间位置关系等效为图5所示的位置关系。其中，α为充电面与自动回充装置之间的角度；L为充电面至自动回充装置之间的第一方向距离；S为充电面至自动回充装置之间的第二方向距离。
其中，特征标识43通过充电面41展示的展示位置呈中心对称，此时，L近似于图像采集组件至各个特征标识的第一方向距离的平均值；S近似于图像采集组件至各个特征标识的第二方向距离的平均值。
参考图5，以特征标识的数量为两个为例，L＝(L1+L2)/2；S＝(S1+S2)/2。
其中，L1为图像采集组件与特征标识51之间的第一方向距离；L2为图像采集组件与特征标识52之间的第一方向距离；S1为图像采集组件与特征标识51之间的第二方向距离；S2为图像采集组件与特征标识52之间的第二方向距离。
对于每个特征标识，以获取特征标识51的L1和S1为例，参考图6所示的充电基座的左视图与图像采集组件之间的相对位置关系的示意图。基于至少两个特征标识在充电面上的安装位置、以及图像采集组件的高度，可以确定出图像采集组件与特征标识51之间的第一垂直方向距离H(即在与地面垂直的方向上的距离)。自动充电装置可以从自动回充图像中确定出特征标识51的图像位 置与自动回充图像的图像中心点之间的第二垂直方向距离ΔH(即在图像采集框的与地面垂直的方向上)。图像采集组件的焦距f已知，则基于三角形相似原理可得下述公式。
L1＝H×ΔH/f
参考图7所示的充电基座的俯视图与图像采集组件之间的相对位置关系的示意图。基于三角形相似原理可得下述公式。
S1＝L1×ΔS/f
L2和S2的获取方式与图6和图7相同，本实施例在此不再赘述。
可选地，在特征标识的数量为至少两个，自动回充装置确定自动回充图像是否包括至少两个特征标识；在自动回充图像包括至少两个特征标识时执行本步骤；在自动回充图像未包括至少两个特征标识时，再次执行步骤301。
在另一个示例中，特征标识的数量为至少一个。此时，在自动回充图像包括一个特征标识时，基于图像采集组件至特征标识的第一垂直方向距离、特征标识与自动回充图像的图像中心点之间的第二垂直方向距离、以及图像采集组件的焦距，计算图像采集组件与至特征标识之间的第一方向距离；获取特征标识的图像位置与自动回充图像的图像中心点在与地面平行的方向上的第二方向图像距离；基于第一方向距离、第二方向图像距离以及图像采集组件的焦距，计算图像采集组件与特征标识在与地面平行、且与行进方向垂直的方向上的第二方向距离；根据第一方向距离和第二方向距离确定充电面与自动回充装置之间的初始角度；控制自移动设备按照初始角度进行旋转，并按照第一方向距离和第二方向距离移动；在移动至充电面后，控制自移动设备移动并旋转以匹配充电座上的充电接口，得到最终距离和最终角度。
可选地，在自动回充图像不包括充电基座的图像时，自动回充装置检测自动回充图像是否包括障碍物图像；在自动回充图像包括障碍物图像时，控制该自动回充装置绕过该障碍物图像对应的障碍物；再次执行步骤301。
步骤303，基于相对位置关系确定自动回充装置的移动方向，以使自动回充装置向充电基座的充电面移动。
综上所述，本实施例提供的自动回充方法，通过在自动回充过程中启动图像采集组件采集自动回充图像；在自动回充图像包括特征标识时，基于特征标识在自动回充图像中的位置，确定充电基座的充电面与自动回充装置的相对位置关系；该特征标识通过充电基座的充电面展示，充电基座用于为自动回充装置充电；基于相对位置关系确定自动回充装置的移动方向，以使自动回充装置向充电基座的充电面移动；可以解决基于信号定位充电基座的位置时，容易出现自动回充装置无法找到充电基座的问题；由于通过在充电基座的充电面设置特征标识，自动回充装置识别该特征标识以确定与充电面之间的相对位置关系，可以保证自动回充装置能够找到充电基座，同时可以保证自动回充装置能够确定出充电基座的充电面，提高自动回充装置确定出的移动方向的准确性。
