Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel close-up photogrammetry, and in particular to tunnel close-up automatic photography equipment and a tunnel close-up measurement shooting method using the equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the in-depth development of photogrammetry technology, the application of high-precision and high-resolution image data and real-life three-dimensional models plays an increasingly important role and has been well applied in the fields of building safety inspection, cultural relics protection, smart engineering, etc. However, the traditional close-up photogrammetry technology only uses airborne photographic equipment on the ground to collect data on objects. Most of its operating platforms rely on drones, which use satellite positioning systems to achieve fixed-point shooting to meet shooting requirements such as height, resolution, and overlap. However, in indoor environments, drones cannot automatically shoot by receiving satellite signals, especially in tunnels, where the lighting conditions are extremely poor, and traditional close-up photogrammetry equipment cannot function. They can only rely on manual shooting, but it is difficult to strictly guarantee the overlap of adjacent photos during the shooting process, which has an adverse effect on the quality of later three-dimensional modeling. When manual data collection is performed, serious problems such as misalignment and mis-splicing will occur when the model is spliced, resulting in the established model being seriously inconsistent with the actual situation, such as Figure 3 shown. Summary of the invention

[0082] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown:

[0083] This embodiment provides a tunnel close-up measurement and photography method using the tunnel close-up automatic photography device as described in any technical solution in Embodiment 1, the method comprising the following steps:

[0084] Step S1, setting a photographing device 4 in the tunnel to shoot an axis of the tunnel wall;

[0085] Step S2, setting the time interval for the photographing device 4 to photograph the tunnel wall;

[0086] Step S3, setting the shooting angle interval of the photographing device 4 corresponding to shooting the overlap of the tunnel wall;

[0087] Step S4, setting the number of photos taken by the photographing device 4 in a corresponding shooting cycle;

[0088] Step S5, setting the shooting duration of a shooting cycle corresponding to the photographic device 4;

[0089] Step S6, setting the forward speed of the electric running wheel;

[0090] In step S7, the electric walking wheel is controlled to move forward, so that the photographing device 4 moves along the shooting axis set in step S1 at the longitudinal forward speed set in step S6 and the shooting time interval set in step S2 to shoot, and after each photo is taken, the lens is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by a swing angle with the shooting axis as the rotation axis before taking the next photo; step S7 is continuously executed in a loop until the shooting is completed.

[0091] Optimally, in step S2, the shooting time interval cannot be less than the sum of the exposure time of the photographic device 4 and the storage time.

[0092] Optimally, in step S3, the shooting angle interval is:

[0093]

[0094] In formula (100), C is the horizontal overlap of the photos, H is the height of the photosensitive element of the photographic device 4, and f is the focal length of the photographic device 4.

[0105] Example 3

[0106] Embodiment 3 is a further optimization of Embodiment 2;

[0107] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown:

[0108] Further optimized, in step S1, the shooting axis is a path parallel to the direction of the tunnel; specifically, according to the photogrammetry principle and technical requirements, in order to unify the resolution of the image and the model, the shooting distance should be as consistent as possible; in the tunnel, a suitable shooting point should be established and kept consistent; Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the vertical line is the vertical symmetry axis of the section, and the horizontal line is the average dividing perpendicular line of the vertical symmetry axis. The intersection point O of the vertical line and the horizontal line is the best shooting point (the distance from point O to all parts of the tunnel wall should be as consistent as possible); therefore, the straight line passing through point O and parallel to the tunnel direction is the shooting axis, such as Figure 7As shown, the camera will be along the shooting axis with the lens facing the tunnel wall.

[0109] For further optimization, in step S2, in order to improve work efficiency, the shooting time interval should be shortened as much as possible, and the shooting time interval should not be less than the sum of the exposure time and storage time of the photographic equipment, otherwise it will affect the clarity of the image and the storage of the data; when setting the shooting time interval of the photographic device 4 to the tunnel wall, it should be determined according to the performance of the photographic equipment to ensure that the efficiency is improved without affecting the normal shooting. It is assumed here that the shooting time interval is t.

[0110] Further optimized, in step 3, since the photographing position of the photographing device 4 (i.e., the camera) is on the shooting axis, in order to make the images have a certain degree of overlap (according to the requirements of relevant specifications and taking into account the light in the tunnel and the weak texture of the tunnel wall, the lateral overlap should be above 75%, such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, there are two adjacent photos with a certain degree of overlap), the camera needs to constantly adjust the shooting angle to meet the requirements.

[0111] Further optimized, in step S7, after the shooting parameters are determined, the photographing device 4 will continuously move along the shooting axis at a speed V and shoot at a time interval t. After each photo is taken, the photographing device 4 will rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by an angle a with the shooting axis as the rotation axis and then shoot the next photo, and so on until the shooting is completed; Fig. 9 As shown, the photographs taken will be arranged in a spiral forward motion, the overlap of two adjacent photographs is a horizontal overlap, and the overlap of two photographs taken before and after the photographic device 4 rotates one circle is a vertical overlap.

[0112] This embodiment calculates a series of parameters such as the sensor size of the photographic device 4, the radius of the tunnel wall, the horizontal and vertical overlap of the photos, the camera exposure time, etc., to achieve the optimal rotation angular velocity of the photographic device 4 and the forward speed of the device, so as to realize efficient and high-quality data collection of the horizontal and vertical overlap of the taken photos, thereby providing a guarantee for the high-quality three-dimensional modeling quality in the later stage; Figure 5 As shown, the collected photos are uniform and the overlap meets the requirements. They are carried out strictly in accordance with relevant specifications. The model is completely spliced ​​and the texture is normal.

[0113] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
