[0054] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0055] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0056] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: adjust the irradiation angle of the laser collimator until it is detected that the outgoing light path of the laser collimator coincides with the reflected light path of the laser collimator, wherein the reflected light path is obtained by reflecting the outgoing light path through the reflector; control the laser collimator to directly irradiate the target camera to obtain the light spot of the outgoing light path on the target camera; adjust the angle of the target camera until the light spot coincides with the sensor center of the target camera; adjust the horizontal displacement of the laser collimator and the target camera respectively, so that the outgoing light path passes through a perforated device with a preset aperture, and completes the central optical axis calibration when it is detected that the light spot coincides with the sensor center of the target camera.

[0057] As the field of view of modules in the current VR field continues to increase, the demand for performance testing of product edge angles is becoming increasingly higher. The most basic method for measuring the edge angles of test equipment and assembly equipment is to calibrate the optical axis.

[0058] When calibrating the optical axis, a product gold sample is often used for calibration. The optical axis of the edge field of view is calibrated with an ideal product, and all subsequent tests are measured with the product as the benchmark. However, when using a product gold sample for field of view calibration, due to the manufacturing differences or characteristic deviations that may exist in the product gold sample itself, these differences will be brought into the calibration process, thereby affecting the accuracy and reliability of the calibration, and the true value of the product cannot be measured.

[0059] In summary, how to improve the accuracy of product optical axis calibration has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. In response to the above problems, the present application provides an optical axis calibration method, which is provided with a laser collimator and a reflector. The laser collimator and the profiling tooling are detected to be vertical by detecting whether the outgoing light path of the laser collimator and the reflected light path after reflection by the reflector are coincident. Then the laser collimator is directed to the target camera to be calibrated to detect whether the light spot formed by the outgoing light path on the camera coincides with the camera sensor. After coincidence, a small hole of a preset aperture is set on the profiling tooling to constrain the range of the outgoing light path, and the position of the laser collimator and the camera is adjusted horizontally so that the outgoing light path forms a light spot at the center of the camera sensor through the small hole, thereby making the camera, the small hole and the outgoing light path coaxial and completing the calibration of the central optical axis.

[0060] In summary, the present application calibrates the central optical axis of the target camera through a laser collimator, a reflector and a perforated device. Compared with the solution of calibration through a product gold sample, the present application eliminates the error of the product gold sample during the calibration process and can obtain the actual true value of the target camera, thereby improving the accuracy of the optical axis calibration.

[0061] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the optical axis calibration device is used as the execution subject for explanation below.

[0062] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides an optical axis calibration method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the optical axis calibration method of the present application.

[0063] In this embodiment, the method is applied to an optical axis calibration device, which includes: a laser collimator 01, a reflector 02, a profiling tool 03 (not shown in the figure) and a hole device 04, wherein the reflector 02 and the hole device 04 are arranged on the profiling tool 03, and the laser collimator 01, the profiling tool 03 and the target camera 05 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top;

[0064] The optical axis calibration method comprises steps S10 to S40:

[0065] Step S10, adjusting the irradiation angle of the laser collimator 01 until it is detected that the outgoing light path of the laser collimator 01 coincides with the reflected light path of the laser collimator 01, wherein the reflected light path is obtained by reflecting the outgoing light path through the reflector 02;

[0066] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the laser collimator 01 is a six-axis adjustable laser collimator 01, which uses a laser beam to detect the relative position of the measured object in the horizontal and vertical directions. The characteristic of this laser collimator 01 is its six-axis adjustment function, which means that it can be adjusted in six different directions to ensure the precise alignment of the laser beam. The laser collimator 01 is usually composed of three major parts: a transmitting system with a laser as a light source, a photoelectric receiving system, and accessories. The laser beam generated by the laser is processed by the optical system to form a parallel and stable reference beam. This beam is used as a reference axis for measurement to calibrate a straight line or check the straightness of a guide rail, etc.

[0067] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a first scenario involved in the first embodiment of the optical axis calibration method of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the laser collimator 01, the reflector 02 and the target camera 05 are arranged in a vertical direction. First, the operation of adjusting the irradiation angle of the laser collimator 01 is performed. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the outgoing light path of the laser collimator 01 completely coincides with the reflected light path after being reflected by the reflector 02. By adjusting in the six-axis direction, the angle of the laser collimator 01 is gradually adjusted, and the coincidence of the reflected light path and the outgoing light path is monitored at the same time until the two are perfectly aligned.

[0068] In addition, an aperture 06 may be provided between the profiling tool 03 and the laser collimator 01 to constrain the optical path and further improve the accuracy of calibration.

[0069] Step S20, controlling the laser collimator 01 to directly irradiate the target camera 05, and obtaining the light spot of the outgoing light path on the target camera 05;

[0070] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a second scenario involved in the first embodiment of the optical axis calibration method of the present application. Figure 3As shown, after the laser collimator 01 and the profiling tooling 03 are vertically calibrated, the reflector 02 is then removed, and the laser collimator 01 is controlled to be directed directly to the target camera 05. At this time, the outgoing light path of the laser collimator 01 will form a light spot on the photosensitive surface of the target camera 05. By capturing this light spot, the system can further analyze the position information of the light spot.

[0071] Step S30, adjusting the angle of the target camera 05 until the light spot coincides with the sensor center of the target camera 05;

[0072] In this embodiment, after obtaining the light spot position, the system starts to adjust the angle of the target camera 05. By fine-tuning the angle of the camera, the direction of the target camera 05 is gradually adjusted until the light spot completely coincides with the sensor center of the target camera 05. The completion of this step indicates that the optical axis of the target camera 05 has been preliminarily aligned with the outgoing light path of the laser collimator 01.

[0073] Step S40, respectively adjusting the horizontal displacement of the laser collimator 01 and the target camera 05, so that the outgoing light path passes through the hole device 04 with a preset aperture, and when it is detected that the light spot coincides with the sensor center of the target camera 05, the central optical axis calibration is completed.

[0074] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the preset aperture of the hole device 04 can be set according to actual needs. As an example, the aperture of the hole device 04 can be set to 1 mm.

[0075] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a third scenario involved in the first embodiment of the optical axis calibration method of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, finally, a hole device 04 with a preset aperture is set on the profiling tooling 03, and the system adjusts the horizontal displacement of the laser collimator 01 and the target camera 05 respectively, so that the outgoing light path of the laser collimator 01 can pass through a hole device 04 with a preset aperture, forming a light spot on the camera, and after adjustment, the light spot always coincides with the sensor center of the target camera 05. When the system detects that this condition is met, it is considered that the central optical axis calibration is completed.

[0076] In summary, through the above steps, the system can efficiently and accurately complete the calibration of the central optical axis, providing reliable guarantee for subsequent measurement, positioning and monitoring tasks.

[0077] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. On this basis, the optical axis calibration device also includes: an aperture 06 and a slide 07, the aperture 06 is arranged between the laser collimator 01 and the profiling tooling 03, and the laser collimator 01 is arranged on the slide 07;

[0078] Before the above step S10, the method may further include steps A10 to A20:

[0079] Step A10, adjusting the rotation angle of the aperture 06 with the center of the aperture 06 as the rotation point, wherein the rotation angle is the edge angle to be measured by the target camera 05;

[0080] It should be noted that in this embodiment, it is a device used to limit the range and direction of light propagation in the optical system. The aperture is divided into an aperture aperture and a field aperture. The aperture aperture is the aperture that limits the imaging light beam the most in the optical system, also known as the effective aperture. Its position and the size of the light hole have a direct relationship with the brightness, clarity and size of certain aberrations of the image formed by the optical system. The field aperture is the aperture that limits the field of view (i.e., the range of the object plane that can be imaged) the most.

[0081] In addition, there are other types of apertures such as vignetting apertures and stray light diaphragms, which also play an important role in the optical system.

[0082] The aperture can be used to limit the light beam. By adjusting the size and shape of the aperture, the amount and direction of light passing through the optical system can be controlled, thereby limiting the light beam; the aperture can also limit the imaging range, that is, the size of the field of view. By adjusting the position and size of the aperture, the imaging range of the optical system can be changed. The aperture can also intercept light that deviates from the ideal position, reduce stray light and aberrations, and thus improve the imaging quality of the optical system.

[0083] In laser technology, the aperture is used to control the shape and propagation direction of the laser beam. By adjusting the position and shape of the aperture, the laser beam can be adjusted and controlled to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0084] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a fourth scenario involved in the second embodiment of the optical axis calibration method of the present application, such as Figure 5As shown, before the formal central optical axis calibration, the system first takes the center of the aperture 06 as the rotation point and adjusts the rotation angle of the aperture 06. The rotation angle here is determined according to the edge angle to be measured by the target camera 05. As an important optical element, the adjustment of the rotation angle of the aperture 06 can affect the direction of the laser light passing through. By accurately adjusting the rotation angle of the aperture 06, the system can ensure that the laser light can propagate along the predetermined path in the subsequent steps.

[0085] Step A20, adjusting the setting angle of the laser collimator 01 through the slide 07 so that the setting angle is the same as the rotation angle.

[0086] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the slide 07 is a sliding platform with an arc, and the laser collimator 01 can slide on the slide 07 to adjust the setting angle of the laser collimator 01.

[0087] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the fifth scenario involved in the second embodiment of the optical axis calibration method of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, after adjusting the aperture 06, the system then adjusts the setting angle of the laser collimator 01 through the slide 07. The setting angle here needs to be the same as the rotation angle of the aperture 06. As a precise displacement control device, the slide 07 can ensure that the setting angle of the laser collimator 01 is accurately adjusted. By adjusting the setting angle of the laser collimator 01, the system can ensure that the laser light can match the direction of the aperture 06 after rotation when it is emitted, providing an accurate reference for the subsequent calibration steps.

[0088] Through the above steps, the optical axis of the edge field of view of the camera can be calibrated through the rotatable aperture 06. Moreover, according to the angle of the aperture, the optical axis calibration of the edge field of view angle can be gradually reduced, so that the optical axis of the camera is more accurate.

[0089] Based on the first embodiment and / or the second embodiment of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the first embodiment and / or the second embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be described in detail later. On this basis, the profiling tool 03 is an axially rotatable structure, and the profiling tool 03 is provided with a plurality of non-overlapping setting positions in the vertical direction; before the above step S10, the method can also include step B10:

[0090] Step B10, controlling the contour tooling 03 to rotate to a first preset angle, so that the first setting position where the reflector 02 is installed among the setting positions is in a straight line with the laser collimator 01 and the target camera 05 in the vertical direction.

[0091] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first preset angle is an angle set according to the actual installation position.

[0092] In this embodiment, the contour tooling 03 has a rotating axis in the vertical direction and can rotate axially. On the axis, a plurality of setting positions for installing other workpieces are arranged, and each setting position does not overlap in the vertical direction, so the installed workpieces will not overlap. When the reflector 02 is needed, the contour tooling 03 is controlled to rotate to a first angle so that the installed reflector 02 is in a straight line with the laser collimator 01 and the target camera 05 in the vertical direction.

[0093] Furthermore, in a feasible implementation manner, before the above step S20, the method may further include step B20:

[0094] Step B20, controlling the contour tooling 03 to rotate to a second preset angle, so that the second vacant setting position in each setting position is in a straight line with the laser collimator 01 and the target camera 05 in the vertical direction.

[0095] In this embodiment, similarly, in order to allow the outgoing light path of the laser collimator 01 to directly reach the target camera 05, it needs to be rotated to an empty setting position.

[0096] The main purpose of this step is to rotate the profiling fixture so that the second setting position (which may be the position for installing the part to be calibrated) that was originally vacant is in a straight line with the laser collimator and the target camera in the vertical direction. This adjustment helps to ensure that the laser light can accurately pass through the second setting position and then be captured by the target camera as a clear light spot, providing an accurate reference for subsequent calibration work.

[0097] Furthermore, in a feasible implementation manner, before the above step S40, the method may further include step B30:

[0098] Step B30, controlling the contour tooling 03 to rotate to a third preset angle, so that the third setting position where the hole device 04 is installed in each setting position is in a straight line with the laser collimator 01 and the target camera 05 in the vertical direction.

[0099] Similarly, in order to allow the outgoing light path of the laser collimator 01 to pass through the perforated device 04 with a preset aperture, the perforated device 04 is rotated to be in a straight line with the laser collimator 01 and the target camera 05 in the vertical direction.

[0100] The core purpose of this step is to ensure that the third setting position where the hole device (which may be an optical element used for calibration or testing) is installed is in a straight line with the laser collimator and the target camera in the vertical direction by adjusting the rotation angle of the profiling fixture. Such adjustment helps the laser light to accurately pass through the hole device and form a clear light spot on the target camera, providing an accurate reference point for subsequent optical axis calibration.

[0101] By setting the rotating contour tooling 03, the automation of the entire process can be improved and possible errors caused by manual operation can be reduced.

[0102] Through the above steps, the entire test and calibration process can be automated, which reduces labor costs and possible errors caused by labor, thereby further improving the accuracy of calibration.

[0103] Based on the first to third embodiments of the present application, in the fourth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those of the first to third embodiments can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated later. On this basis, the optical axis calibration device also includes: a collection camera; after the step of adjusting the illumination angle of the laser collimator 01 in the above step S10, the method can also include steps C10 to C30:

[0104] Step C10, acquiring the optical path image of the laser collimator 01 through the acquisition camera;

[0105] It should be noted that in this embodiment, in the optical axis calibration device, the acquisition camera plays a vital role. It is responsible for capturing the optical path image of the laser collimator 01 and providing necessary image data for subsequent identification, analysis and judgment. The acquisition camera usually has the characteristics of high resolution, high sensitivity and fast response, and can accurately capture the subtle changes of the laser light, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the calibration process.

[0106] In this embodiment, after adjusting the irradiation angle of the laser collimator 01, the system acquires the optical path image of the laser collimator 01 through the acquisition camera. The acquisition camera transmits the captured optical path image to the system for use in subsequent steps. By acquiring the optical path image through the acquisition camera, the system can understand the state of the laser light in real time, providing intuitive and accurate image data for subsequent analysis and judgment.

[0107] Step C20, identifying the outgoing light path of the laser collimator 01 and the reflected light path of the laser collimator 01 in the light path picture;

[0108] In this embodiment, after acquiring the light path picture, the system starts to identify the outgoing light path and the reflected light path of the laser collimator 01 in the light path picture. The system analyzes the light path picture through an image processing algorithm to extract information of the outgoing light path and the reflected light path.

[0109] Step C30, determining whether the outgoing light path and the reflected light path coincide with each other.

[0110] In this embodiment, after the identification of the outgoing light path and the reflected light path is completed, the system starts to determine whether the two coincide. By comparing the position information of the outgoing light path and the reflected light path, it is determined whether they are on the same path. If the two coincide, it means that the irradiation angle of the laser collimator 01 has been adjusted in place, and the subsequent calibration steps can be performed; if the two do not coincide, it is necessary to continue to adjust the irradiation angle of the laser collimator 01 until the two coincide.

[0111] Further, in a feasible implementation manner, the step of obtaining the light spot of the outgoing light path on the target camera 05 in the above step S20 includes steps S21 to S22:

[0112] Step S21, collecting the light spot image of the target camera 05 by the collection camera;

[0113] In this embodiment, in order to obtain the light spot of the outgoing light path of the laser collimator 01 on the target camera 05, the light spot image of the target camera 05 is obtained by using a collection camera.

[0114] Step S22 , identifying whether the light spot in the light spot image coincides with the sensor center of the target camera 05 .

[0115] In this embodiment, after the light spot image is collected, the key features of the light spot image, such as the centroid position of the light spot, are first extracted, and then compared with the sensor center position of the target camera 05 to determine whether the light spot coincides with the sensor center of the target camera 05. In this way, it is determined whether the calibration of the optical axis is completed.

[0116] Through the above steps, the image is collected by the acquisition camera, and then the image is recognized according to the image processing algorithm. Compared with observing the light path and light spot with the human eye, the recognition accuracy of the light path and light spot can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of calibration.
