Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of event cameras, and in particular to a calibration device for event cameras. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of the event camera calibration device is based on the camera calibration technology, that is, by obtaining the image data of the calibration object at multiple positions, the image processing algorithm and mathematical model are used to solve the parameters of the camera imaging geometric model. The core of the event camera is its response mechanism to light changes. The perception of brightness changes between the pixels inside the camera is independent of each other. When the light intensity change detected by a pixel exceeds the preset threshold, a signal called "event" is generated. This event contains four basic information: the position of the pixel (x, y), the timestamp (t), and the type of brightness change (increase or decrease). Therefore, the output of the event camera is not an intensity image, but an asynchronous event stream (microsecond level), each event consists of its time and space coordinates and a sign of the event occurrence (not intensity).

[0003] Event camera calibration devices will be used for navigation and obstacle avoidance of autonomous vehicles and drones in complex environments. They require fast and accurate processing of large amounts of dynamic information, and event cameras provide an efficient solution.

[0004] During drone data collection, there is a possibility that the drone may fall. Due to the complex geographical environment, if a drone falls into the river, the event camera and the drone will sink directly to the bottom of the river. It is difficult to salvage them in the flowing river. During the sinking process, they may move a certain distance with the river and cannot be quickly located for salvage operations. For example, the patent with authorization announcement number CN117911540B discloses a device and method for event camera calibration, which can realize the rotation drive control of the lower shaft frame and the upper shaft frame with mutually perpendicular rotation directions, which is conducive to reducing the number of servo motors used in the rotating table, thereby effectively reducing the manufacturing cost of the rotating table, and is conducive to more convenient and accurate calibration of the event camera. However, most of the components in the above technical solution are metal components, which will sink to the bottom when falling into the water. Especially when collecting data in unknown waters, falling into the water will cause great trouble for salvage. Summary of the invention

[0035] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, a device for calibrating an event camera of the present invention comprises an event camera 3, and the event camera 3 is placed in a housing;

[0037] The protective airbag 5 is connected to the outer wall of the shell of the event camera 3, and the protective airbag 5 is composed of multiple airbags.

[0038] The protection airbag 5 is externally fixedly connected with a drawstring 66, one end of the drawstring 66 away from the protection airbag 5 is fixedly connected with a counterweight 62, and one side of the counterweight 62 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 61;

[0039] One end of the connecting rod 61 away from the counterweight 62 is fixedly connected to a metal anchor 6 .

[0040] When the event camera 3 falls into the water, the protection airbag 5 will expand rapidly, and the protection airbag 5 composed of multiple airbags will unfold, ensuring that the event camera 3 floats on the water surface to avoid damage to the internal collected data. After the protection airbag 5 collides, the metal anchor 6 will enter the water. The metal anchor 6, the connecting rod 61 and the counterweight block 62 are all made of metal and can sink to the bottom quickly. Under the impact of the water flow, the metal anchor 6 will contact the bottom of the water and anchor at the bottom of the water. The protection airbag 5 is pulled by the pull rope 66 to prevent the protection airbag 5 from moving with the water flow, which is convenient for the staff to find. The connection position of the pull rope 66 is on the back of the event camera 3. Under the rapid impact of the water flow and the pulling of the pull rope 66, the event camera 3 can be placed above the protection airbag 5, that is, above the water surface, to protect the event camera 3.

[0041] Specifically, a limiting plate 621 is provided at the end of the counterweight block 62 away from the connecting rod 61. The limiting plate 621 and the counterweight block 62 are integrally formed, and the angle between the limiting plate 621 and the counterweight block 62 is set between 90° and 120°. A barb 622 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 621 on the side close to the counterweight block 62, and the angle between the barb 622 and the limiting plate 621 is set between 45° and 80°.

[0042] The counterweight block 62 can speed up the sinking of the metal anchor 6, wherein the limit plate 621 and the counterweight block 62 are integrally formed in an "L" shape. When the metal anchor 6 cannot anchor to the bottom of the water area in time, the limit plate 621 will also anchor to the bottom of the water area when sinking. The barb 622 can be set to quickly anchor to the bottom of the water area. The angle between the limit plate 621 and the counterweight block 62 is set to 90°~120°, and the angle between the barb 622 and the limit plate 621 is set to 45°~80°, which can increase the speed of anchoring to the bottom of the water area. Through the cooperation of the counterweight block 62 and the metal anchor 6, the purpose of quickly anchoring to the bottom of the water area is achieved, and the floating distance of the protective airbag 5 above is avoided to be too far, which is conducive to the rapid search for the event camera 3.

[0043] The limiting plate 621 and the counterweight block 62 are integrally formed in an "L" shape. In normal working state, it can limit the protective airbag 5 placed on the event camera 3 to ensure that the protective airbag 5 can fit with the outer wall of the event camera 3 when not in use.

[0044] Specifically, a storage groove 31 is provided on the top of the event camera 3, and the metal anchor 6 is placed in the storage groove 31. An inner protrusion block 32 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the storage groove 31, and a cover plate 30 is rotatably provided on the top of the storage groove 31. The metal anchor 6 is limited between the inner protrusion block 32 and the cover plate 30 through the cover plate 30.

[0045] When the event camera 3 is working normally, the metal anchor 6 is stored in the storage slot 31, and the metal anchor 6 is limited by the cover plate 30 and the inner protruding block 32 to prevent the metal anchor 6 from falling off and affecting it when not in use. The cover plate 30 can rotate with the outer casing of the event camera 3, and the metal anchor 6 can fall out of the storage slot 31 when the cover plate 30 rotates.

[0046] Specifically, an inner limiting groove 321 is fixedly opened on one side of the inner protruding block 32 close to the metal anchor 6 , a stopper 325 is rotatably arranged in the inner limiting groove 321 , and a making way groove 324 for making way for the stopper 325 is arranged on one side of the inner limiting groove 321 .

[0047] The blocking column 325 can block the metal anchor 6 to prevent the metal anchor 6 from falling when not in use. The inner limit groove 321 plays an installation role. When one end of the blocking column 325 rotates into the give way groove 324, the metal anchor 6 can slide between the two inner protruding blocks 32. The setting of the blocking column 325 can ensure that the metal anchor 6 can be fixed when it is not needed to ensure that it will not shake.

[0048] Specifically, the inner limit groove 321 is connected to an electric control push rod 323 through a rotating rod 326, and the electric control push rod 323 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the blocking column 325. A lifting spring 322 is fixedly connected inside the inner limit groove 321, and the lifting spring 322 is tightly pressed against the metal anchor 6.

[0049] When the metal anchor 6 needs to be pushed out of the receiving groove 31, the cover plate 30 placed above the metal anchor 6 will be loosened. Before that, the telescopic end of the electric control push rod 323 is shortened to pull the bottom of the blocking column 325 to rotate, and the upper end of the blocking column 325 rotates toward the direction of the yielding groove 324. The telescopic end of the electric control push rod 323 rotates along the rotating rod 326 while pulling the bottom of the blocking column 325 to rotate.

[0050] When the cover 30 is loosened, the lifting spring 322 instantly pops up the metal anchor 6, causing it to pop out of the storage groove 31, wherein the lifting spring 322 is in a compressed state before releasing the metal anchor 6, pressing it against the cover 30, further ensuring the stability of the metal anchor 6 when it is not needed.

[0051] Specifically, a trigger component 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the event camera 3, and the trigger component 4 includes a connecting shell 41, and the connecting shell 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the event camera 3 shell. A sliding rod 42 is slidably arranged in the connecting shell 41, and both ends of the sliding rod 42 are placed outside the connecting shell 41. The end of the sliding rod 42 close to the cover plate 30 is fixedly connected to a cross bar 46, and the side of the cross bar 46 close to the cover plate 30 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 47, and the pressure plate 47 is arranged in cooperation with the cover plate 30.

[0052] The opening time of the cover 30 can be controlled by setting the trigger component 4, wherein the sliding rod 42 can slide along the inner wall of the connecting shell 41, and when the sliding rod 42 slides upward, it will drive the top cross bar 46 to move upward, and at this time the cross bar 46 drives the connected pressure plate 47 to move upward at the same time, and at this time the pressure plate 47 is separated from the cover 30, and the lifting spring 322 instantly lifts the metal anchor 6, thereby releasing the metal anchor 6.

[0053] Specifically, a side hole 411 is opened in the middle of the connecting shell 41, a side connecting groove 421 is provided on the side wall of the sliding rod 42, and a connecting tooth 422 is provided on the inner wall of the side connecting groove 421. The side wall of the event camera 3 is fixedly connected to a driving motor 45, and the output end of the driving motor 45 is fixedly connected to a half gear 451, which can engage with the connecting tooth 422.

[0054] When needed, the metal anchor 6 can be actively released by actively controlling the output end of the driving motor 45 to rotate. During the rotation, the output end of the driving motor 45 drives the half gear 451 to rotate. During the rotation, the toothed side of the half gear 451 will rotate to the side engaged with the connecting tooth 422, and at this time, the sliding rod 42 will be driven to slide along the inner wall of the connecting shell 41 to release the cover plate 30. The contact position between the sliding rod 42 and the inner wall of the connecting shell 41 is roughly arranged, and the maximum static friction between the sliding rod 42 and the connecting shell 41 is greater than the elastic force of the lifting spring 322 in the compressed state, so as to avoid the metal anchor 6 from loosening when there is no need to release the metal anchor 6. The sliding rod 42 can be limited by the engagement of the half gear 451 with the connecting tooth 422 to ensure that the pressure plate 47 and the cover plate 30 are in a tight state.

[0055] Specifically, one end of the sliding rod 42 away from the cross rod 46 is fixedly connected to the hollow rod 43 , and the bottom of the hollow rod 43 is fixedly connected to the hollow buoyancy ball 44 , and the hollow buoyancy ball 44 is arranged to penetrate the hollow rod 43 .

[0056] When the device falls into water and the drive motor 45 is powered off, the buoyancy of the hollow buoyancy ball 44 and the hollow rod 43 is used to push the sliding rod 42 to slide, so that the pressing plate 47 and the cover plate 30 are loosened. The opening of the cover plate 30 at the metal anchor 6 is controlled in various ways, which can ensure the protection of the event camera 3 even without power when falling into water. When the drone 1 loses control and rapidly impacts the ground, if the hollow buoyancy ball 44 contacts and impacts the ground first, it will also be triggered. When the metal anchor 6 becomes loose, it will drive the counterweight 62 to move simultaneously. The counterweight 62 no longer limits the protection airbag 5. At this time, the protection airbag 5 will expand to play a buffering role. (The protection airbag 5 is similar to an automotive airbag and will rapidly expand when the counterweight 62 no longer restricts it or when it is externally impacted, and the gas inside will not remain inside continuously).

[0057] Specifically, the drone 1 and the event camera 3 are connected through a calibration component 2. The calibration component 2 includes a fixed connection frame 21. The fixed connection frame 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone 1 through bolts. The bottom of the fixed connection frame 21 is connected with a first adjustment motor 22. The rotating end of the first adjustment motor 22 is fixedly connected with a mounting frame 23;

[0058] One end of the mounting frame 23 away from the first adjustment motor 22 is fixedly connected with a second adjustment motor 24 at the bottom. The output end of the second adjustment motor 24 is fixedly connected with a rotating frame 25. The rotating frame 25 is arranged in a "C" shape. The ends of the rotating frame 25 are placed on both sides of the event camera 3, and the side close to the event camera 3 is connected to the event camera 3 through a third adjustment motor 26.

[0059] During the operation of the drone 1 through the calibration component 2, the fixed connection frame 21 in the calibration component 2 is connected to the drone 1. The drone 1 drives the event camera 3 to move to a preset position through the fixed connection frame 21. The setting of the first adjustment motor 22 can drive the mounting frame 23 to rotate 360°, increasing the detection range of the time camera 3. At the same time, the second adjustment motor 24 can drive the rotating frame 25 to rotate. When falling into water, the second adjustment motor 24 will drive the rotating frame 25 to rotate immediately, so that the protection airbag 5 rotates to the lower part of the event camera 3, so as to ensure that the event camera 3 of the device can float on the water surface after falling into water.

[0060] Working principle: When in use, the drone 1 drives the calibration component 2 and the event camera 3 to fly to a preset position.

[0061] When the event camera 3 falls into the water, the output end of the driving motor 45 can be actively controlled to rotate. The output end of the driving motor 45 drives the half gear 451 to rotate during the rotation. The toothed side of the half gear 451 rotates to the side engaged with the connecting tooth 422 during the rotation. At this time, the sliding rod 42 is driven to slide along the inner wall of the connecting shell 41 to loosen the cover plate 30. The metal anchor 6, the connecting rod 61 and the counterweight block 62 are all made of metal and can sink to the bottom quickly. Under the impact of the water flow, the metal anchor 6 will contact the bottom of the water and anchor at the bottom of the water. The protective airbag 5 is pulled by the pull rope 66 to prevent the protective airbag 5 from moving with the water flow, which is convenient for the staff to find.

[0062] If power is lost after entering the water, the buoyancy of the hollow buoyancy ball 44 and the hollow rod 43 pushes the sliding rod 42 to slide, so that the pressure plate 47 and the cover 30 are loosened. The opening of the cover 30 at the metal anchor 6 is controlled in a variety of ways to ensure that the event camera 3 can be protected even if there is no power when falling into the water. When the drone 1 loses control and hits the ground quickly, if the hollow buoyancy ball 44 contacts and hits the ground before, it will also be triggered. When the metal anchor 6 is loosened, it will drive the counterweight block 62 to move at the same time, and the counterweight block 62 will no longer limit the protection airbag 5. At this time, the protection airbag 5 will unfold and play a buffering role.

[0063] When the event camera 3 falls into the water, the protective airbag 5 will expand rapidly, and the protective airbag 5 composed of multiple airbags will unfold, ensuring that the event camera 3 floats on the water surface to avoid damage to the internal collected data, and the metal anchor 6 will enter the water after the protective airbag 5 collides.

[0064] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention.
