Description

Methods, systems, platforms and storage media for detecting vehicle-mounted cameras Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of camera detection technology, specifically relating to a method, detection device, detection platform and storage medium for detecting vehicle-mounted cameras. Background Technology

[0002] In today's world, cars are becoming increasingly common and intelligent. Most intelligent operations rely on the sensory data provided by the cameras installed in the car to make further decisions. Therefore, whether the camera output is normal or not greatly affects the vehicle's functions and product quality.

[0003] During the vehicle assembly process, cameras are small in size, come in many different types and models, and look very similar. This makes it easy for them to be misinstalled during vehicle assembly, which can lead to problems such as image flickering and abnormal images. However, these faults are often only exposed after the vehicle is assembled. Troubleshooting these faults in the assembled vehicles usually requires a lot of manpower and resources. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this application proposes a method, device, platform, and storage medium for detecting in-vehicle cameras. After the vehicle is powered on, a panoramic parking system is activated to detect the camera firmware version information in real time. Upon detecting the camera firmware version, the system performs a secondary comparison and determines the consistency status of the current camera firmware version information. If the system does not detect the firmware version information of a certain camera, it further detects the video stream data corresponding to that camera and determines the current camera link status based on the detection results of the video stream data corresponding to the camera. By determining the consistency of the camera firmware version information or the camera link status based on the consistency status of the current camera firmware version information or the current camera link status, the system can quickly locate camera firmware version misinstallation issues, improve product testing efficiency, reduce missed and incorrect detections, ensure product quality, and improve vehicle safety.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a method for detecting vehicle-mounted cameras, comprising:

[0006] Detect the firmware version information of each camera;

[0007] Based on the detection results of the camera firmware version information, determine whether the camera firmware version information meets the consistency requirements, or determine whether the camera link is normal;

[0008] The system automatically detects the camera firmware version based on the judgment result.

[0009] This application automatically detects the firmware version information of vehicle-mounted cameras, taking into account the consistency of the camera firmware version information and the camera link status, thereby obtaining the automatic detection result of the camera firmware version information. It is applicable to the judgment and analysis of various camera firmware version information, thereby quickly locating abnormal camera image output problems, improving detection efficiency, and reducing missed detections.

[0010] The step of determining whether the camera firmware version information meets the consistency requirements includes: when the camera firmware version information detection result is: when the firmware version information of each camera is detected, comparing the detected camera firmware version information with the registered firmware version information to obtain the comparison result.

[0011] When the comparison result is that the firmware version information of each camera is consistent with the registered firmware version information, it is determined that the current camera status is consistent and the detection process ends.

[0012] If the comparison result is that the firmware version information of one or more of the cameras is inconsistent with the registered firmware version information, then the current camera status consistency is determined to be unsatisfactory, and an alarm prompt will continue to pop up.

[0013] In the application, whether the current camera status is consistent can be determined by comparing the detected camera firmware version information with the filed firmware version information. If the current camera status fails to be consistent, an alarm prompt can be displayed to remind the testing personnel to update the current camera firmware version information.

[0014] In this application, determining whether the camera link is normal includes: when the camera firmware version information detection result is: some camera firmware version information is detected, detecting video stream data for cameras where no camera firmware version information is detected, and obtaining a secondary detection result.

[0015] Wherein, if the result of the secondary detection is: the corresponding video stream data is detected, then it is determined that the camera link is normal;

[0016] If the secondary detection result is that no corresponding video stream data is detected, then the camera is determined to be faulty.

[0017] In this application, determining the camera status based on the corresponding video stream data includes: when the corresponding video stream data can be detected, the link is normal, ruling out camera hardware failure, and prompting the testing personnel to update the current camera firmware version. When the corresponding video stream data is not detected, the testing personnel are prompted that a hardware failure has occurred, resulting in abnormal camera footage.

[0018] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also proposes a vehicle-mounted camera detection device, preferably comprising:

[0019] First detection module: used to detect the firmware version information of each camera;

[0020] Judgment module: Based on the detection results of the first detection module, it judges whether the camera firmware version information meets the consistency requirements, or judges whether the camera link is normal;

[0021] The judgment module further includes a fault detection unit, which can be used to judge the camera hardware fault based on the corresponding video stream data detected by the second detection module.

[0022] Display module: Outputs the automatic detection result of the current camera firmware version information based on the judgment result.

[0023] Optionally, the judgment module further includes: a consistency comparison unit and a second detection module;

[0024] The consistency comparison unit is used to compare the firmware version information of each camera with the registered firmware version information.

[0025] The second detection module is used to detect video stream data for cameras for which no camera firmware version information has been detected.

[0026] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also proposes an in-vehicle camera detection platform, comprising:

[0027] The vehicle-mounted camera detection platform can be configured in any mobile device terminal;

[0028] The vehicle-mounted camera detection platform includes a communication interface, a processor, and a memory for storing the processor's execution instructions.

[0029] The communication interface is connected to any vehicle system to transmit vehicle camera firmware version information.

[0030] The processor is configured to perform the vehicle camera detection method described above.

[0031] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also proposes a storage medium, comprising:

[0032] The storage medium stores computer-executable instructions, which, when executed, are used to implement the vehicle-mounted camera detection method described above.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are as follows:

[0034] This application provides a vehicle-mounted camera detection method, detection device, detection platform, and storage medium. By automatically detecting the camera firmware version, it identifies and judges the consistency status of the camera firmware version or judges the camera link status, quickly locating the problem of incorrect camera firmware version installation during the actual vehicle assembly process, improving the detection efficiency and accuracy of camera firmware version, reducing missed detections and false detections, and thus improving the safety factor of vehicle use.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted camera detection method. This method can be used to detect the firmware version information of a vehicle camera, identify and determine the firmware version consistency status of the vehicle camera, or determine the camera link status. The specific solution includes:

[0042] Detect the firmware version information of each camera;

[0043] In this step, after the car is powered on, the panoramic parking system initiates automatic detection to check the firmware version information of the cameras used by the car. In one embodiment, the panoramic parking system can sequentially number each camera from left to right and from front to back, detect the firmware version of each camera, and output the number of the detected camera on the in-vehicle display screen.

[0044] The number and corresponding firmware version information.

[0045] Based on the detection results of the camera firmware version information, determine whether the camera firmware version information meets the consistency requirements, or determine whether the camera link is normal;

[0046] As shown in Figure 2, in one embodiment, when the camera firmware version information detection result is: when the firmware version information of each camera is detected, the detected camera firmware version information is compared with the registered firmware version information to obtain the comparison result;

[0047] When the comparison result is that the firmware version information of each camera is consistent with the registered firmware version information, the current camera status is determined to be consistent, the detection process ends, and the current camera firmware version information detection result is displayed on the display module. In another embodiment, when the comparison result is that the firmware version information of one or more cameras is inconsistent with the registered firmware version information, the current camera status is determined to be inconsistent, and an alarm prompt is continuously displayed. For example, when the automatic parking system detects two cameras on the left front, it determines whether the firmware version information of the two cameras is consistent based on the detected camera firmware version information, and outputs the corresponding number of different cameras and the different camera firmware version information detection results on the vehicle display screen. The corresponding number of the displayed camera also has a different processing method. For example, after a camera W1 on the left front of the car obtains its firmware version, the system finds the firmware version corresponding to camera W1 in the registered camera firmware version database. If it is inconsistent with the firmware version obtained by camera W1, the system determines that the firmware version consistency of this camera is abnormal, and the system continuously pops up a UI prompting the driver or inspection personnel to update the firmware version of camera W1.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3, in one embodiment, when the camera firmware version information detection result is that partial camera firmware version information is detected, video stream data is detected for cameras where no camera firmware version information is detected to obtain a secondary detection result. When the secondary detection result is that the corresponding video stream data is detected, it is determined that the camera link is normal; in another embodiment, when the secondary detection result is that the corresponding video stream data is not detected, it is determined that the camera hardware is faulty.

[0049] The system automatically detects the camera firmware version based on the judgment result.

[0050] This embodiment detects the camera firmware version information, comprehensively judges whether the camera firmware version information meets the consistency requirements, or judges whether the camera link is normal, quickly locates the cause of abnormal camera image, and informs the testing personnel of the automatic detection result of the camera firmware version information through the display module, effectively reducing the occurrence of missed detections and false detections and improving detection efficiency.

[0051] Example 2:

[0052] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also proposes a vehicle-mounted camera detection device in another embodiment.

[0053] As shown in Figure 4, the vehicle-mounted camera detection device in this embodiment specifically includes the following:

[0054] First detection module: used to detect the firmware version information of each camera;

[0055] Judgment module: Based on the detection results of the first detection module, it judges whether the camera firmware version information meets the consistency requirements, or judges whether the camera link is normal;

[0056] The judgment module further includes: a consistency comparison unit and a second detection module;

[0057] The consistency comparison unit is used to compare the firmware version information of each camera with the registered firmware version information.

[0058] The judgment module further includes a fault detection unit; the fault detection unit is used to judge the camera hardware fault based on the corresponding video stream data detected by the second detection module.

[0059] Display module: Outputs the automatic detection result of the current camera firmware version information based on the judgment result.

[0060] After the car is powered on, the panoramic parking system starts. The first detection module automatically detects the firmware version information of each camera and sends the detected firmware version information to the consistency comparison unit and the second detection module in the judgment module. The judgment module determines the consistency of the firmware version of a certain camera based on the comparison result of the consistency comparison unit, or determines the hardware fault of the camera based on the video stream data result of the corresponding camera by the fault detection unit included in the judgment module. The camera firmware version detection result is sent to the display module to inform the testing personnel.

[0061] Example 3:

[0062] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also proposes an in-vehicle camera detection platform in another embodiment.

[0063] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted camera detection platform includes at least the following:

[0064] The detection platform can be configured in any mobile device terminal;

[0065] The detection platform includes a communication interface, a processor, and a memory for storing the processor's execution instructions;

[0066] The communication interface is connected to any vehicle system to transmit vehicle camera firmware version information.

[0067] The processor is configured to perform the vehicle camera detection method described above.

[0068] To provide a better user experience, a specific implementation method for the detection in this embodiment is provided. When the detection platform inputs the detected vehicle camera firmware version information, it compares it with the database of registered camera firmware versions stored in the memory. The system finds the corresponding firmware version for the camera in the database. If the firmware version is inconsistent with the detected firmware version, the system determines that the firmware version consistency for this camera has failed, and the system continuously displays a UI prompting the testing personnel to update the camera's firmware version. If the firmware version is consistent with the detected firmware version, the system determines that the firmware version consistency for this camera is normal, and the detection process ends.

[0069] Example 4:

[0070] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also proposes a storage medium in another embodiment.

[0071] In this embodiment, the storage medium stores computer-executable instructions, which, when executed, perform the following steps:

[0073] Based on the detection results of the camera firmware version information, determine whether the camera firmware version information meets the consistency requirements, or determine whether the camera link is normal;

[0074] The system automatically detects the camera firmware version based on the judgment result.

[0075] In summary, the vehicle camera detection method, detection device, detection platform, and storage medium provided in the embodiments of this application innovatively improve the abnormal image phenomenon caused by inconsistent camera firmware versions during the actual vehicle assembly process by automatically detecting the camera firmware version. This allows for rapid location of the camera firmware version status, improves product detection efficiency, avoids missed or incorrect detections, and ensures product quality.
