Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image acquisition, and in particular to a device for automatically acquiring multi-scene and multi-turbidity underwater images. Background Art

[0002] Underwater image datasets are of great significance for training various underwater vision models due to their large number, diverse scenes and underwater light environment.

[0003] At present, the methods of collecting underwater images are mainly divided into natural environment collection and laboratory environment collection. The images collected in the natural environment have uncontrollable blur and color cast due to the uncontrollable underwater environment. At the same time, the number of available clear underwater images is small due to the difficult collection conditions. Compared with the natural environment, the underwater images collected in the laboratory environment are more controllable and easier to collect, which is convenient for building a large data set for training models.

[0004] However, in existing laboratories, water turbidity is controlled mainly by manually dripping solvents to adjust turbidity into the water, and using turbidity sensors to display the current turbidity in real time. In this method, there is a hysteresis in the change of turbidity. When the solvent is dripped into the water, the turbidity of the water will not change immediately, but it will be a slow change process, and it is necessary to wait for the solvent and the water to be fully mixed before the true turbidity of the water after adding a certain amount of solvent can be measured. However, waiting for the solvent and the water to be fully mixed takes a lot of time, which greatly increases the time cost and reduces work efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The present invention provides a device for automatically collecting multi-scene and multi-turbidity underwater images, comprising:

[0037] The box body is used to inject clean water;

[0038] A titration mechanism 3, used for dripping the solvent into the clean water in the box;

[0039] The stirring mechanism comprises a driving device 1 disposed in the box and a mounting plate 9 connected to the output end of the driving device 1, wherein an assembly part is disposed in the mounting plate 9, and a plurality of blades 10 are rotatably and circumferentially evenly spaced on the assembly part, and a bubble guiding groove 11 is disposed on the blade 10;

[0040] A turbidity measuring device 2 is arranged at the bottom of the box;

[0041] The waterproof electronic screen 8 is arranged at the bottom of the box; the waterproof electronic screen 8 has a size of 60cm×60cm and a thickness of 1cm, and is fixed to the bottom of the tank with waterproof glass glue. The waterproof electronic screen 8 is connected to the computer through a waterproof cable and a waterproof data cable. The computer can control the underwater electronic screen to display different images, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the underwater scene, and effectively simplifying the difficulty of adjusting the underwater image.

[0042] The fixing mechanism 5 is arranged above the waterproof electronic screen 8, and the fixing mechanism 5 is used to be detachably connected to the camera.

[0043] By fixing the camera through the fixing mechanism 5, the image on the waterproof electronic screen 8 can be collected through the camera, and the solvent is dripped into the clean water through the titration mechanism 3. The mounting disk 9 is driven to rotate by the driving device 1, and the blades 10 therein are driven by the mounting disk 9 to stir the clean water. At the same time, the bubble guide groove 11 on the blade 10 can ensure that the bubbles can be effectively guided and mixed into the liquid during the stirring process, avoiding the interference of the bubbles on the stirring effect, so that the clean water and the solvent can be quickly mixed, effectively reducing the time consumption, and cooperating with the turbidity measuring device 2 to effectively solve the inaccuracy of manual dripping of the solvent, thereby improving the efficiency of turbidity control.

[0044] Furthermore, the turbidity measuring device 2 uses a DS500 portable multi-parameter water quality meter, a hole is punched at the bottom of the box, and the turbidity measuring device 2 is fixed to the bottom of the box using bolts.

[0045] The turbidity measuring device 2 is always in working state after starting the collection work, obtaining turbidity data every 0.5s and transmitting it to the computer via Bluetooth. The rapid rotation of the motor accelerates the fusion of clean water and solvent. After waiting for the turbidity data to stabilize, the current turbidity value is recorded.

[0046] Furthermore, the surface of the blade 10 is specially treated with a low friction coefficient polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating to reduce the friction between the blade 10 and the liquid, and improve energy efficiency and durability. The blade 10 is a curved blade, and its leading edge and trailing edge are both progressive curves, and have appropriate angles and curvatures to reduce the resistance of the fluid and increase the disturbance effect of the fluid. 10 to 12 blades 10 can be placed according to the size of the mounting plate 9, the amount of liquid and the stirring rate, and the blade spacing is 8% to 10% of the inner diameter of the mounting plate 9 to ensure that the fluid is fully circulated during the stirring process. The leading edge angle of the blade 10 can be adjusted between 15° and 30° to ensure the best fluid disturbance effect at different stirring speeds.

[0047] Furthermore, data of adding different volumes of water to the cylinder, adding different volumes of solutions to the water, and different rotation times and rotation speeds of the blade 10 are collected in advance, and the above collected data are used as input, and the turbidity value of the water in the glass cylinder after the turbidity is stabilized is used as output to train the neural network model. In the subsequent actual sampling process, the pre-trained model can be used to control the titration device to drip the required amount, and at the same time, the motor drives the blade 10 to rotate for a corresponding time and speed to achieve the target turbidity value.

[0060] Furthermore, in order to ensure uniform illumination, the light-emitting housings of the four fill-in lights 4 are covered with diffusers with diffuse reflection function to diffuse the light and reduce the light spots. At the same time, the color and light intensity of the fill-in lights 4 can be controlled by a computer to achieve different underwater light environments and construct underwater image data sets of multiple light environments.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, a shading film is provided around the side wall of the box to eliminate interference from external light.

[0071] According to actual needs, the target turbidity is set, and the trained LSTM model is used to control the titration mechanism 3 and the motor.
