Problems solved by technology

Because it uses a single CCD and a single-direction lens, it can only see the scene in one direction
[0003] When a digital camera is used in traffic, due to the front and rear characteristics of the vehicle, if you only look at the rear of the vehicle and cannot see the front, you cannot understand the driver's information and the characteristics of the front of the vehicle; if you only look at the front of the vehicle, you do not see the rear of the vehicle , it is impossible to know the characteristics of the rear of the vehicle
If a camera is installed in the front and rear directions, it will increase the cost

Embodiment 1

[0038] Such as figure 1 As shown, according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, a panoramic camera is provided, which includes a camera 10 and a conical mirror 20, and the camera 10 includes a lens 11 and an imaging unit. The apex of the conical reflective mirror 20 faces the lens 11, and the conical reflective mirror 20 has a conical reflective surface, wherein the surrounding scenery of the conical reflective mirror 20 is reflected into the lens 11 of the camera 10 by the conical reflective surface, and an image is formed by the imaging unit. The panoramic camera of present embodiment adopts conical reflector 20, because each position of the conical light-reflecting surface of conical reflector 20 all can reflect scene, so conical reflector 20 can reflect the light of the scene reflection of circumferential 360 ° to In the lens 11 of the camera 10, the imaging unit of the camera 10 receives the light and performs imaging, thereby realizing a 360° panoramic camera. Comp...

Embodiment 2

[0045] Such as figure 2 As shown, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, a driving recorder is provided, which includes the above-mentioned panoramic camera and a mount for fixing the panoramic camera. The mount is used to install the panoramic camera. The driving recorder using the above-mentioned panoramic camera can collect images at 360°, and simultaneously collect images of the front, rear and side of the vehicle, which is helpful for comprehensively recording the driving environment of the vehicle. For unmanned vehicles, it is possible to comprehensively monitor the external environment of the vehicle driving environment while reducing the number of cameras and sensors, which helps to save costs.

[0046] In this embodiment, the mount includes a base 31, a top plate 32 and a side wall connecting the base 31 and the top plate 32, one of the conical reflector 20 of the panoramic camera and the camera 10 is arranged on the base 31, and the conical re...

Embodiment 3

[0048] Such as image 3 As shown, according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, an image processing method is provided. The image processing method comprises the steps of:

[0049] The execution subject of this method may be the aforementioned panoramic camera, or other devices with data processing functions, such as computers, servers, or mobile terminals. If the execution subject is a panoramic camera, an image processing unit may be provided in the panoramic camera, and the image processing unit acquires and processes images captured by its imaging unit. If the execution subject is a computer, a server or a mobile terminal, it can obtain and process images captured by it from the panoramic camera through wired data transmission or wireless data transmission.

[0050] The image processing method is described below by taking the execution subject as an example of a panoramic camera:

[0051] Step S302: Obtain images captured by the aforementioned panoramic camera.

Abstract

The invention provides a panoramic camera, an automobile data recorder, and an image processing method and apparatus. The panoramic camera is composed of a camera unit and a conical reflective mirror. The camera unit consists of a lens and an imaging unit. The vertex of the conical reflective mirror faces the lens and the conical reflective mirror has a conical reflection surface. Scenery around the conical reflective mirror is reflected into the lens of the camera unit by the conical reflection surface and the imaging unit forms an image. The panoramic camera can shoot the scenery around the camera within a 360-degree range to realize panoramic shooting.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image processing equipment, in particular to a panoramic camera, a driving recorder, and an image processing method and device. Background technique [0002] Existing digital cameras mainly sense light through a single CCD or CMOS, and perform imaging with the help of an optical lens. Because it uses a single CCD and a single-direction lens, it can only see the scene in one direction. [0003] When a digital camera is used in traffic, due to the front and rear characteristics of the vehicle, if you only look at the rear of the vehicle and cannot see the front, you cannot understand the driver's information and the characteristics of the front of the vehicle; if you only look at the front of the vehicle, you do not see the rear of the vehicle , it is impossible to understand the characteristics of the rear of the vehicle. If a camera is respectively installed in the front and rear directions, the cost will be incr...
