Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0045] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0046] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 An exemplary structural diagram of a warehouse material volume measurement system 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 This is a second exemplary structural diagram of a warehouse material volume measurement system 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is shown as a third exemplary structural diagram of a storage material volume measurement system 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0047] The storage material volume measurement system 100 includes a PTZ camera 101, a single-line lidar 102, a wireless communication module 103, a host computer 104, and a control unit (not shown in the figure).
[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, the PTZ camera 101 is disposed in a hopper (not shown in the figure) and located above the material to be tested (not shown in the figure). The PTZ camera 101 includes a support frame 1011 and a stepper motor gimbal 1012. The support frame 1011 is fixed in the hopper and is used to support the stepper motor gimbal 1012. The stepper motor gimbal 1012 is connected to the support frame 1011. A single-line laser radar 102 is mounted on the stepper motor gimbal 1012. A control unit is disposed in the stepper motor gimbal 1012. A wireless communication module 103 is communicatively connected to the host computer 104 and the control unit. The control unit is electrically connected to the stepper motor gimbal 1012 and the single-line laser radar 102.
[0049] The stepper motor gimbal 1012 can rotate up, down, left, and right under the control of the control unit, so that the single-line lidar 102 can measure the distance to the material to be measured at different angles of the PTZ camera 101, and then calculate the volume of the material to be measured based on the obtained distance measurement data.
[0050] The wireless communication module 103 can be installed inside the stepper motor gimbal 1012 or outside the PTZ camera 101. The wireless communication module 103 enables data transmission. For example, the host computer 104 can send corresponding commands to the control unit through the wireless communication module 103, causing the control unit to control the operation of the stepper motor gimbal 1012 and the single-line LiDAR 102. Alternatively, the control unit can upload data such as the angle of the PTZ camera 101 and the distance measured by the single-line LiDAR 102 to the host computer 104 through the wireless communication module 103, allowing the host computer 104 to perform corresponding calculations based on this data.
[0051] For example, when the wireless communication module 103 is disposed within the stepper motor gimbal 1012, the exemplary structural diagram of the aforementioned warehouse material volume measurement system 100 can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the control unit of the PTZ camera 101 can directly interact with the host computer 104 via the wireless communication module 103. When the wireless communication module 103 is located outside the PTZ camera 101, the exemplary structural diagram of the aforementioned storage material volume measurement system 100 can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the control unit of the PTZ camera 101 can be connected to the wireless communication module 103 via an externally provided communication connection line, and interact with the host computer 104 through the wireless communication module 103.
[0052] It should be noted that there can be multiple PTZ cameras 101 in the aforementioned warehouse material volume measurement system 100. When multiple PTZ cameras 101 are installed, the exemplary structural diagram of the warehouse material volume measurement system 100 can be as follows: Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the host computer 104 can interact with the control units in multiple PTZ cameras 101 via the wireless communication module 103. The wireless communication module 103 can be configured as follows: Figure 1 or Figure 2 Any one of them, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.
[0053] Furthermore, the host computer 104 is used to send volume measurement commands to the control unit through the wireless communication module 103. The host computer 104 is also used to obtain parameter information uploaded by the control unit through the wireless communication module 103, and obtain the volume of the material to be measured based on the parameter information.
[0054] The control unit is used to respond to the volume measurement command sent by the host computer 104 through the wireless communication module 103, and control the stepper motor gimbal 1012 and the single-line lidar 102 to obtain parameter information. The control unit is also used to upload the parameter information to the host computer 104 through the wireless communication module 103 so that the host computer 104 can obtain the volume of the material to be measured based on the parameter information.
[0055] The storage material volume measurement system 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention uses the stepper motor gimbal 1012 of the PTZ camera 101 as the rotating base of the single-line lidar 102. Even though the single-line lidar 102 and the PTZ camera 101 are integrated, this structure allows the cable to be retracted inside the PTZ camera 101. This avoids the problem of the traditional storage volume measurement scheme using cables to connect the lidar and the motor, which exposes the cable outside the motor body, easily affecting the rotational accuracy of the motor and making the cable easily damaged.
[0056] Furthermore, the aforementioned warehouse material volume measurement system 100 uses wireless communication to transmit the data of the single-line lidar 102 to the data center (host computer 104), reducing the installation cost of laying communication cables and lowering the overall cost.
[0057] Optionally, the host computer 104 is also used to acquire point cloud data of the material to be tested scanned by the single-line lidar 102 and display the point cloud data.
[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, the point cloud data can be the point cloud model data of the material to be tested. After the single-line lidar 102 finishes scanning the material to be tested, it will generate high-density point cloud data for the control unit to collect. The host computer 104 will obtain the point cloud data sent by the control unit through the wireless communication module 103, perform online point cloud fitting, and restore and display the real three-dimensional point cloud model of the material to be tested.
[0059] Optionally, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 The parameter information includes angle information and distance information. The host computer 104 is used to obtain the volume of the material to be measured based on the parameter information through the following steps:
[0060] Step 1: Obtain the angle and distance information uploaded by the control unit through the wireless communication module 103.
[0061] Step 2: Obtain the bottom area of the material to be measured based on the angle information.
[0062] Step 3: Based on the bottom area and distance information of the material to be measured, obtain the volume of the material to be measured by the PTZ camera 101 at the current angle.
[0063] Step 4: The volume of the material to be tested is accumulated at all angles by the ball machine 101 to obtain the volume of the material to be tested.
[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, the discrete integration method is used to calculate the volume of the material to be tested. The angle information can be obtained by the control unit acquiring the current angle of the PTZ camera 101. The distance information can be obtained by the single-line lidar 102 measuring the distance of the material to be tested, specifically the height of the material to be tested at the current angle of the PTZ camera 101 measured by the single-line lidar 102.
[0065] It should be noted that since the stepper motor gimbal 1012 can rotate up, down, left, and right under the control of the control unit, and the rotation angle of the PTZ camera 101 is consistent, the bottom area of the material to be measured at each angle of the PTZ camera 101 can be considered the same. When calculating the volume of the material to be measured, the bottom area of the material to be measured at the current angle of the PTZ camera 101 (i.e., the bottom area of the material to be measured obtained from the degree information) can be multiplied by the height of the material to be measured at the current angle of the PTZ camera 101 measured by the single-line lidar 102 to obtain the volume of the material to be measured at the current angle of the PTZ camera 101 (i.e., the volume of the material to be measured at the current angle of the PTZ camera 101 obtained from the bottom area and distance information of the material to be measured).
[0066] Furthermore, after obtaining the volume of the material to be tested corresponding to each angle of the PTZ camera 101, the volumes of the material to be tested at all angles of the PTZ camera 101 can be summed to finally obtain the volume of the material to be tested.
[0067] Optionally, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 The control unit is used to control the stepper motor gimbal 1012 and the single-line lidar 102 through the following steps to obtain parameter information:
[0068] Step 1: Control the stepper motor gimbal 1012 to rotate and collect the current angle of the PTZ camera 101 to obtain angle information.
[0069] Step 2: Control the single-line lidar 102 to measure the height of the material to be measured at the current angle of the PTZ camera 101 to obtain distance information.
[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, after obtaining the aforementioned angle information and distance information, the control unit will upload the angle information and distance information to the host computer 104 through the wireless communication module 103, so that the host computer 104 can calculate the volume of the material to be measured based on the angle information and distance information.
[0071] Optionally, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 There may be one or more PTZ cameras 101.
[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the host computer 104 can communicate with multiple PTZ cameras 101 through the wireless communication module 103 to more accurately measure the volume of the material to be measured.
[0073] Optionally, the single-line lidar 102 is a 1D single-line lidar.
[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, setting the single-line lidar 102 as a 1D single-line lidar reduces the cost of volume measurement equipment compared to traditional 2D lidar.
[0075] Optionally, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The wireless communication module 103 is located inside the stepper motor gimbal 1012 or outside the PTZ camera 101.
[0076] In this embodiment of the invention, when the wireless communication module 103 is disposed within the stepper motor gimbal 1012, the exemplary structural diagram of the aforementioned warehouse material volume measurement system 100 can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the control unit of the PTZ camera 101 can directly interact with the host computer 104 via the wireless communication module 103. When the wireless communication module 103 is located outside the PTZ camera, the exemplary structural diagram of the above-mentioned storage material volume measurement system can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the control unit of the PTZ camera 101 can be connected to the wireless communication module 103 via an externally provided communication connection line, and interact with the host computer 104 through the wireless communication module 103.
[0077] Based on the aforementioned storage material volume measurement system 100, this embodiment of the invention also provides a storage material volume measurement method. This method uses the host computer 104 of the storage material volume measurement system 100 as the executing entity. (See also...) Figure 4 , Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a method for measuring the volume of stored materials according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. This method is applied to the host computer 104 in a stored material volume measurement system 100.
[0078] The method includes:
[0079] S200 sends volume measurement commands to the control unit via a wireless communication module.
[0080] S210 acquires parameter information uploaded by the control unit through the wireless communication module, including angle information and distance information.
[0081] S220, obtain the bottom area of the material to be measured based on the angle information.
[0082] S230: Based on the bottom area and distance information of the material to be measured, the volume of the material to be measured at the current angle is obtained by the PTZ camera.
[0083] S240, the volume of the material to be tested is accumulated at all angles by the ball machine to obtain the volume of the material to be tested.
[0084] The above-mentioned method for measuring the volume of stored materials uses wireless communication to obtain parameter information uploaded by the control unit, which reduces the installation cost of laying communication cables and lowers the overall cost.
