other Embodiment approach

[0072] In other embodiments, the main control module 31 can also perform texture analysis first, and then perform color identification, as long as the proportion of the predetermined color in a sub-image block reaches the first preset value and the texture feature value reaches the second preset value , the main control module 32 identifies the sub-area corresponding to the sub-image block as the working area 5 . The above method of distinguishing the working area 5 and the non-working area 7 is only exemplary, and in a similar way, the main control module 31 can also use other algorithms to process the image to distinguish the working area 5 and the non-working area 7 . For example, the predetermined block is divided into more sub-regions to improve the accuracy of location recognition, and the shape of the predetermined block is changed, such as fanned to cover a wider field of view, and so on.

[0073] Based on the above distinction between the working area 5 and the non-work...

Abstract

The invention relates to a piece of automatic walking equipment and a method for the automatic walking equipment to return to a stop station. The automatic walking equipment comprises a housing, a walking module consisting of a wheel set mounted on the housing and a walking motor for driving the wheel set, an image acquisition device mounted on the housing, a working module mounted on the housing and performing predetermined work, and a main control module connected with the image acquisition device, the working module and the walking module to control work of the automatic walking equipment. The method for the automatic walking equipment to return to a stop station comprises the following steps: a, whether an image acquired by the image acquisition device has a boundary is monitored; b, if a boundary is monitored, the automatic walking equipment walks to the boundary; and c, the automatic walking equipment walks along the boundary. According to the invention, the image acquisition device is adopted to monitor a boundary, and the automatic walking equipment returns to a stop station along the boundary, so that slotting for physical boundary line burying is avoided, and the arrangement work is systematic, simple and labor-saving.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic running device, and also relates to a method for the automatic running device to return to a stop. Background technique [0002] At present, with the accelerated pace of human life, automated home devices are becoming more and more popular around the world. Because it has an automatic working procedure, it works by itself, so it does not require human manipulation all the time. People can be freed from heavy family tasks, save a lot of energy and get more leisure time. This kind of automated home equipment is also called automatic walking equipment, including automatic vacuum cleaners mainly used for house cleaning, and automatic lawn mowers mainly used for home gardens. [0003] On automatic walking equipment, boundary confirmation and automatic return are two key technologies. Boundary confirmation enables automatic walking equipment to distinguish between working areas and non-working areas to work in the work...
