Abstract

The invention provides diving goggles capable of enhancing visibility of an underwater environment in real time. The diving goggles comprise a camera, a laser lamp, a lens, a semi-transparent display, a fixing belt and a goggle frame, the lens is embedded in the mirror frame, the camera is arranged on the upper edge of the mirror frame, the laser lamps are arranged on the two sides of the mirror frame, the semi-transparent display is arranged on the inner side of the mirror frame, and the two ends of the fixing band are connected with the two ends of the mirror frame. According to the diving goggles capable of enhancing the visibility of the underwater environment in real time, the underwater environment is acquired, enhanced and displayed in real time through the underwater high-definition camera and the semi-transparent display, so that a diver can still obtain a clear and real image under the conditions of low illumination, excessive color cast and serious blurring, and the diving goggles have the advantages that the diving goggles are simple in structure and convenient to use. The problem that underwater vision of the diver is limited is solved, and the diver can complete underwater operation more efficiently.

Example Embodiment

[0020] To make the object, technical solution and advantages of embodiments of the present invention more clear, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described, obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative labor, are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] as Figure 1-5 As shown, a diving goggle that enhances the visibility of the underwater environment in real time, comprising: camera 1, laser light 2, lens 3, semi-transparent display 4, fixing tape 5 and frame 6;
[0022] The lens 3 is embedded in the frame 6, the camera 1 is disposed on the upper side of the frame 6, the laser lamp 2 is disposed on both sides of the frame 6, the semi-transparent display 4 is disposed on the inside side of the frame 6, the two ends of the fixing tape 5 are connected to both ends of the frame 6.
[0023] A real-time enhanced visibility of the underwater environment diving mirror disclosed in the present invention, through the underwater high-definition camera and translucent display to achieve real-time acquisition, enhancement and display of the underwater environment, so that the diver in the case of low illumination, excessive color cast and severe blurring, can still obtain a clear and real image, to overcome the problem of the diver's vision limitations underwater, so that the diver more efficient to complete the underwater operation.
[0024] The laser light can fill the underwater environment, the camera 1 captures the underwater picture, after being processed by the underwater image enhancement algorithm embedded in the control box 15, it is displayed by a translucent display 4, so that the diver can obtain a clear and realistic image.
[0025] The edge of the frame is provided with a silicone edge, which fits in with the diver's face to prevent water ingress, the semi-transparent display 4 is a 50% semi-transparent display, which is within the frame 6 and is on the inside of the lens 3, the lens adopts tempered optical explosion-proof lens with good impact strength, not fragile, high safety, even if broken will not cause harm to the carrier. The semi-transparent display 4 and the lens are curved structures and are shape-appropriate, easy to observe and display a wide viewing angle. Translucent display 4 allows divers to see the outside environment through the monitor, and can also see the picture captured by the camera through the monitor.
[0026] In the present embodiment, further comprising a knob 7 disposed on the side of the frame, the knob 7 comprises a rotating end 8 and a connecting end 9, the rotating end 8 is disposed on the outside side of the frame 6, the connection end 9 is disposed on the inside side of the frame 6, one end of the translucent display 4 is connected to the rotating end 8, the other end is connected to the frame 6 rotation connection. The frame 6 includes a frame 10 and a cornice 11 disposed on the frame 10, the cornice 11 is recessed to form a housing cavity, the translucent display 4 may be rotated into the accommodating cavity. In the underwater environment with better illumination and clear field of view, the semi-transparent display 4 can be rotated into the containment cavity under the drive of the knob 7, the diver directly observes the underwater environment through the lens, in the more turbid and harsh underwater environment, the diver can turn the semi-transparent display 4 down, through the display display screen, auxiliary observation of the underwater environment.
[0027] The connecting end 9 is provided with a connection 12 between the semi-transparent display 4, the connection 12 is provided with a limit post 13, the inner side of the frame 6 is provided with a limit chute 14, the limit column 13 is within the limit chute 14, the knob 7 is turned, the limit column 13 can be moved within the limit chute 14.
[0028] The limit column 13 slides in the limit chute, when rotating, the two ends of the limit chute 14 are the two limit positions of the semi-transparent display rotation, to prevent excessive rotation, the display collision damage, or touch the human skin, resulting in water leakage or skin damage and other safety hazards.
[0029] In the present embodiment, further comprising a control box 15 disposed on the fixing tape and a depth sensor disposed on the frame 66, the control box 15 includes a box and a battery disposed in the box and a control unit, the control unit is electrically connected to the depth sensor 16, the camera 1, the laser lamp 2 and the translucent display 4 electrically connected. The battery is a 12V 6800mAH saving battery pack, the control unit is NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier central control unit, the box is equipped with type-c charging port, power input, power output, total power switch and light on, all have a waterproof structure. The control box is located in the back of the wearer's head, the control box is equipped with the control button of the entire system and the light, respectively, the brightness of the control system switch and the laser lamp, this design can balance the head burden, minimize the restriction of the diving mirror on the head movement, so that the wearer can move more freely underwater.
[0030] In addition to increasing clarity, for the diving entertainment crowd, the diving goggles can be used as underwater VR glasses to increase the entertainment effect and fun. For underwater rescue, the goggles have the function of enhancing the clarity of the underwater environment in real time and can withstand the pressure of 100 meters underwater. Helps divers locate underwater seafood.
[0031] Working process:
[0032] 1. The high-definition underwater camera captures the current wearer's field of view and transmits it to the control unit in the control box in the form of video, that is, Jetson AGX Xavier; then the central control unit decodes the video to obtain an image of each frame;
[0033] 2. The central control unit adopts the strategy of frame-separated processing to select the image to be processed, and then sends each frame of the selected image into the underwater image enhancement algorithm for enhanced processing, and obtains a clear underwater image after color, contrast and brightness optimization;
[0034] 3. The central control unit combines the acquired depth information with the enhanced clear underwater image for video encoding and displaying it on a 50% semi-transparent display to complete the task of real-time enhancement and information acquisition of the underwater environment.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit it; notwithstanding a detailed description of the present invention with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate: it may still modify the technical solutions described in the preceding embodiments, or some or all of the technical features thereof are equivalently replaced; and these modifications or substitutions do not make the nature of the corresponding technical solution out of the scope of the technical solutions of each embodiment of the present invention.
