DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present invention. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar parts or parts with the same or similar functions.

Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0047] The terms "first", "second", "third" (if any) in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, for example.

[0048] In addition, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or display comprising a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or display.

[0049] The invention provides an image acquisition device.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 The image acquisition device includes an image acquisition module 10, a reflection unit 20 and a rotation unit 30. The image acquisition module 10 can be a thermal imaging device, which is a device that performs image formation by sensing the thermal radiation information on the surface of an object. Thermal imaging devices are widely used, but they are expensive and large in size. In the exemplary technology, the thermal imaging device needs to continue to rotate as a whole to obtain a panoramic image of the environment.

[0051] In this embodiment, the reflective surface 21 of the reflective portion 20 is configured to allow the reflected light to be incident on the lens 11 of the image acquisition module 10 , that is, the image acquisition module 11 acquires the environment image through the reflective surface 21 .

[0052] The rotating part 30 is provided with the reflecting part 20, and the rotating part 30 can drive the reflecting part 20 to rotate. During the rotation of the reflecting part 20, the reflecting surface 21 rotates with the center line of the lens 11 as the axis, so that during the rotation of the reflecting surface 21, the reflected light representing the environment can be incident on the image acquisition module 10, that is, the image acquisition module 10 can capture a panoramic image of the environment.

[0053] In actual use, the image acquisition module 10 can be placed on the ground, and the rotating part 30 can rotate around the image acquisition module 10, so that the reflective surface 21 of the reflective part 20 rotates around the center line of the lens as the axis.

[0054] In one example, the rotating part 30 includes a slide rail (not marked) and a slide groove (not marked) at the bottom. The slide groove is arranged around the image acquisition module 10 and is detachably arranged on the ground. The rotating part 30 can make the reflective surface 21 of the reflective part 20 rotate around the center line of the lens 11 as the axis through the movement of the slide rail in the slide groove.

[0055] In this embodiment, the image acquisition device includes an image acquisition module, a reflection part and a rotating part. The reflection surface of the reflection part is configured to make the reflected light incident on the lens of the image acquisition module. The rotating part is provided with the reflection part, and the rotating part drives the reflection part to rotate with the lens as the center line as the axis. In the present invention, the image acquisition device drives the reflection surface to rotate with the lens as the center line as the axis, so that the reflection surface reflects the ambient light to the lens during the rotation process, so that the image acquisition device acquires a 360° panoramic image, that is, the rotating part only needs to rotate the reflection part without rotating the image acquisition device as a whole, so that the rotating part does not need to adopt a complex mechanical structure, thereby reducing the cost of acquiring a panoramic image.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the reflective surface 21 of the reflective part 20 in the image acquisition device of the present invention. A plurality of marking areas 211 are provided on the reflective surface 21, and each marking area 211 forms a geometric shape. The geometric shape is, for example, a triangle, a quadrilateral, etc. Each marking area 211 does not reflect light, and the image of the marking area 211 acquired by the image acquisition module 10 is black. Therefore, the image acquisition module 10 can determine the rotation angle between the environment image acquired in the previous frame and the environment image acquired in the next frame through the geometric shape formed by each marking area 211 that does not reflect light.

[0057] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 A is the environment image acquired in the previous frame, and B is the environment image acquired in the next frame. By comparing the geometric shapes in A and B, it can be seen that B is rotated 90° relative to A.

[0058] By determining the rotation angle of each environmental image, the rotation angle of each environmental image relative to the initial position of the reflective part can be determined, and then each environmental image is reversed to the corresponding rotation angle, and then the reversed environmental images are spliced ​​to obtain the environmental image.

[0059] For example, the image acquisition module 10 obtains four environmental images A, B, C, and D in sequence, and the rotation angle corresponding to the A environmental image is 0, the B environmental image is rotated 90° relative to the A environmental image, the C environmental image is rotated 90° relative to the B environmental image, and the D environmental image is rotated 90° relative to the C environmental image. It can be determined that the B environmental image is rotated 90° relative to the A environmental image, the C environmental image is rotated 180° relative to the A environmental image, and the D environmental image is rotated 270° relative to the A environmental image. The B environmental image is reversely rotated 90°, the C environmental image is reversely rotated 180°, and the D environmental image is reversely rotated 270°. The reversely rotated environmental images are spliced ​​with the A environmental image acquisition time points to obtain a panoramic image.

[0060] It should be noted that the geometric shape formed by each marking area 211 is not a standard geometric shape. A standard geometric shape refers to an equilateral polygon, which prevents the image acquisition module 10 from being unable to determine the rotation angle between the two environmental images. For example, each marking area 211 forms a regular polygon. If the previous frame of the environmental image is rotated 90° relative to the next frame of the image, the positional relationship between the two regular polygons cannot be recognized in the two environmental images.

[0061] The marking area 211 does not reflect light, so the marking area 211 can be set as a hollow area of ​​the reflective surface 21, or the material of the marking area 211 is a light-absorbing material.

[0062] In this embodiment, a plurality of marking areas forming geometric shapes are arranged on the reflective surface, so that the image acquisition device can determine the rotation angle between adjacent frame images based on the geometric shapes, thereby more accurately stitching the acquired environmental images to obtain a panoramic image.

[0063] Further, see Figure 4 The rotating part 30 includes a rotating member 31 and a stabilizing member 32. The rotating member 31 is movably connected to the periphery of the stabilizing member 32, and the stabilizing member 33 is circular in shape. The rotating member 31 can rotate relative to the stabilizing member 32, and the reflecting part 20 is disposed on the rotating member 31, and the image acquisition module 10 is disposed on the stabilizing member 32.

[0064] In one example, the rotating member 31 is an annular structure with a certain width, and a slide rail (not marked) is arranged on the inner side of the rotating member 31; the stabilizing member 33 can be a cylindrical structure, and a slide groove (not marked) is arranged on the circular surface of the stabilizing member 33, the slide rail of the rotating member 31 is arranged in the slide groove of the stabilizing member 32, the image acquisition module 10 is arranged at the center of the upper surface of the stabilizing member 32, and the reflecting part 20 is arranged on the upper surface of the rotating member 31, so that when the rotating member 31 rotates relative to the stabilizing member 32, the reflecting surface 21 of the reflecting part 20 rotates with the center line of the lens 11 as the axis.

[0065] In this embodiment, the rotating member of the rotating part rotates relative to the stabilizing member of the rotating part, so that the reflecting surface 21 of the reflecting part 20 rotates around the center line of the lens 11 as the axis. The structure of the rotating part is simple, which reduces the cost of obtaining panoramic images.

[0066] Further, see Figure 5, the reflecting part 20 also includes a reflecting plate 22 and a connecting plate 23. The connecting plate 23 is connected to the rotating member 31, and the connecting plate 23 is arranged on the surface of the rotating member 31, and the vertical direction of the connecting plate 23 is perpendicular to the plane where the lens 11 is located. The connecting plate 23 is connected to the reflecting plate 22 at an angle, so that the reflecting surface 21 of the reflecting plate 22 is arranged obliquely relative to the lens 11. Preferably, the reflecting plate 22 and the connecting plate 23 are connected at 135°. Since the vertical direction of the connecting plate 23 is perpendicular to the plane where the lens 11 is located, the angle between the reflecting surface 21 of the reflecting plate 22 and the plane where the lens 11 is located is 45°, which means that the reflected light of the reflecting surface 21 is vertically incident on the lens 11.

[0067] In this embodiment, the height of the connecting plate 23 can be higher than the height of the image acquisition module 10, and a reflective plate with a smaller area can be used, so that the lens can receive all reflected light reflected by the reflective surface of the reflective plate, thereby reducing the cost of the image acquisition device.

[0068] Further, see Figure 6 The image acquisition device further includes a mounting portion 40 and a base 50. The stabilizing member 32 is mounted on the base 50 through the mounting portion 40, and the base 50 is provided with a motor 51, and a first gear 511 provided on the motor 51 is meshed with a second gear 311 of the rotating member 31. The rotating member 31 can be automatically rotated relative to the stabilizing member by the motor 51, that is, a panoramic image of the environment where the image acquisition device is located can be obtained by electronic control.

[0069] In addition, a control circuit (not shown) may be provided inside the base 50, and the control circuit is connected to the motor 51 and the image acquisition module 10. The control circuit may control the motor 51 to drive the rotating member to rotate, and the control circuit may control the image acquisition module 10 to acquire images.

[0070] The invention also provides a method for collecting panoramic images.

[0071] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 7 The present invention is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for collecting panoramic images. The method for collecting panoramic images includes:

[0072] Step S10, controlling the rotating part to drive the reflecting part to rotate one circle, and using the image acquisition module to acquire each image formed by the reflecting surface of the reflecting part during the rotation process.

[0073] In this embodiment, the execution subject is an image acquisition device. The various components of the image acquisition device are specifically described above and will not be described in detail here.

[0074] When it is necessary to obtain a panoramic image of the environment where the image acquisition device is located, the image acquisition device controls the rotation part to drive and drive the rotation part to rotate one circle, and then controls the image acquisition module to capture each image formed by the reflection surface of the reflection part during the rotation process.

[0075] Step S20, obtaining a first sub-region in each image, where the boundary of the first sub-region is a side edge of the reflective surface.

[0076] The image acquisition device acquires the first sub-region of each image, and the boundary of the first sub-region is the side of the reflective surface, that is, the image acquisition device acquires the sub-region formed by the light reflected by the reflective surface in each image. The reflective surface reflects the ambient light to the image acquisition module, so that the image acquired by the image acquisition module is an ambient image.

[0077] Step S30: stitching the first sub-regions to obtain a panoramic image.

[0078] The image acquisition device can obtain a panoramic image by splicing each first sub-area.

[0079] In one example, the image acquisition module captures an image every 2 seconds, and the rotating part can rotate 90° every 2 seconds, thereby measuring the rotation angle between each image and the first image, and then rotating the image in the opposite direction to the rotation angle corresponding to the image, so that the images with the rotation angles can be spliced ​​in the order of the acquisition time points to obtain a 360° panoramic image.

[0080] In this embodiment, the image acquisition module controls the rotating part to drive the reflecting part to rotate one circle, and the image acquisition module acquires each image formed by the reflection of the reflecting part during the rotation process, and then acquires the first sub-region representing the environmental image reflected by the reflecting surface from each image, and finally splices each sub-region to obtain a panoramic image. In this embodiment, the image acquisition device drives the reflecting surface to rotate with the lens as the center line as the axis, so that the reflecting surface reflects the ambient light to the lens during the rotation process, so that the image acquisition device acquires a 360° panoramic image, that is, the rotating part only needs to rotate the reflecting part without rotating the image acquisition device as a whole, so that the rotating part does not need to adopt a complex mechanical structure, thereby reducing the cost of acquiring a panoramic image.

[0081] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another embodiment of the panoramic image acquisition method of the present invention, based on Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, step S30 includes:

[0082] Step S31: determining a reference sub-region in each first sub-region.

[0083] Step S32: determining a rotation angle between the reference sub-region and each second sub-region, where the second sub-region is a first sub-region that is not determined as a reference sub-region.

[0084] In this embodiment, the image acquisition device determines a reference sub-region in any first sub-region, thereby determining a rotation angle between the reference sub-region and each second sub-region. The second sub-region is a first sub-region that is not determined as a reference sub-region.

[0085] In one example, the rotating part of the image acquisition device has a rotation speed, and the image acquisition module acquires images at intervals of a set time length. The image acquisition device obtains the set time length, and the product of the set time length and the rotation speed is the rotation angle between two adjacent images. The image acquisition device then determines the acquisition time period of the reference sub-area and the interval time length between each second sub-area, and then calculates the ratio of the interval time length to the set time length, and the product of the ratio of the second sub-area and the rotation angle is the rotation angle between the second sub-area and the reference sub-area.

[0086] In another example, the reflective surface is provided with a marking area forming a geometric shape, and the marking area does not reflect light. The image acquisition module can determine the rotation angle between the reference sub-area and each second sub-area based on the geometric shape of the reference sub-area and the geometric shape in each second sub-area. For example, if the geometric shape of a second sub-area is rotated 180° relative to the geometric shape of the reference sub-area, then the rotation angle between the reference sub-area and the second sub-area is 180°.

[0087] Step S33: rotating each second sub-region by a rotation angle corresponding to the second sub-region.

[0088] The image acquisition device rotates each second sub-region by a rotation angle corresponding to the second sub-region, and the rotation directions of each second sub-region need to be the same.

[0089] Step S34, according to the time point of each image acquisition, the rotated second sub-regions and the reference sub-region are stitched together to obtain a panoramic image.

[0090] Image acquisition time points: According to the order of the acquisition time points of each image, the rotated second sub-areas and the reference sub-areas are spliced ​​to obtain a panoramic image.

[0091] In this embodiment, the image acquisition device rotates the sub-regions and then splices the rotated sub-regions, thereby accurately acquiring a panoramic image.
