Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of non-contact measurement, and in particular relates to a method and a device for multi-angle and omnidirectional camera installation and DIC measurement. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, non-contact measurement technology has shown broad application prospects in many fields. Especially in the fields of industry, materials science and medicine, the demand for accurate and comprehensive surface deformation measurement of objects is becoming increasingly urgent. Although traditional contact measurement methods are still effective in some scenarios, their limitations are obvious. Contact measurement is not only easy to cause interference or damage to the object being measured, but also has limited application in complex structures, flexible materials or dynamic environments. Therefore, non-contact measurement technology came into being and quickly became an important tool in the field of deformation measurement.

[0003] As a representative of non-contact measurement technology, digital image correlation (DIC) has gradually become the preferred technology in industrial testing, material performance analysis, and medical imaging due to its advantages such as non-contact, three-dimensional deformation information acquisition, simple optical path, good environmental adaptability, and wide measurement range. Compared with contact measurement, DIC can obtain high-precision deformation data in real time without affecting the surface state of the object, and is applicable to a variety of materials and complex environments. This makes DIC particularly important in industries such as automobiles and aviation that have extremely high requirements for the performance of structural parts, and can provide an important basis for stress and strain analysis of key components.

[0004] However, existing DIC technology is mainly focused on single-field measurement, which means that it can only analyze local data of the target object and cannot achieve all-round measurement of the entire object. This limitation may lead to incomplete measurement results in some application scenarios, which in turn affects the evaluation of the overall performance of the target object. This limitation is particularly prominent in the measurement of circular objects and integral structural parts, which can easily lead to measurement blind spots and seriously affect the accurate evaluation of the overall performance of the target object. For this reason, solving the field of view blind spot problem in DIC measurement has become a key goal of industry development. Summary of the invention

[0029] The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of traditional technologies through multi-segment measurement and shows significant beneficial effects. First, the device realizes multi-angle and all-round measurement of the target object through the design of the surrounding frame and the omnidirectional guide frame, combined with the progressive component and the camera component. The omnidirectional guide frame is composed of multiple track arms spliced ​​end to end to form a circular track, and progressive rings are evenly distributed on the surface of the track arm. The progressive component can slide along the progressive ring through the dynamic adjustment of the progressive hammer and the adaptive hammer core to achieve multi-angle adjustment and position change of the camera component.

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] Please refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-12 In order to solve the problem that there is a lack of a device that can realize multi-angle, omnidirectional camera installation and dynamic DIC (digital image correlation) measurement in the prior art, the present invention provides a technical solution: a multi-angle, omnidirectional camera installation and DIC measurement device, comprising a frame 5, an observation platform 4 is arranged inside the frame 5, an omnidirectional guide frame 1 is arranged on the inner periphery of the frame 5, a camera assembly 2 and a progressive assembly 3 are arranged on the omnidirectional guide frame 1, the camera assembly 2 performs real-time measurement of objects fixed on the observation platform 4, and the progressive assembly 3 performs dynamic multi-angle adjustment on the camera assembly 2 to realize multi-angle, omnidirectional measurement requirements.

[0049] In the present invention, the omnidirectional guide frame 1 includes a track arm 11 extending along an inner circular path, the track arm 11 is arranged in the enclosure 5, and the track arm 11 is formed by multiple head-to-tail splicing to form an annular disk surface for fixing the progressive assembly 3. The surface of the track arm 11 is evenly provided with progressive rings 111 penetrating therethrough, the cross section of the progressive rings 111 is semicircular, the progressive rings 111 are distributed along the inner edge direction of the track arm 11, and there are multiple progressive rings 111, and a sandwich for clamping the progressive assembly 3 is formed between the progressive rings 111 of adjacent and parallel annular disk surfaces. The progressive assembly 3 is slidably adjusted through the sandwich between the progressive rings 111, thereby realizing dynamic multi-angle movement of the camera assembly 2.

[0050] The camera assembly 2 includes a calibration camera 21 and a follow-up camera 22. The calibration camera 21 is detachably arranged at the top of the inner ring of the omnidirectional guide frame 1. The calibration camera 21 is adjustable at a fixed position in the omnidirectional guide frame 1, so that the angle and position of the calibration camera 21 can be adjusted according to the measurement requirements. The follow-up camera 22 is connected to the progressive assembly 3 and can perform dynamic measurement with the movement of the progressive assembly 3, ensuring the flexibility and accuracy of the measurement.

[0051] The progressive assembly 3 includes a progressive hammer 31 installed in the interlayer of the progressive ring 111. An umbrella-shaped locking rod 311 is provided on the outer periphery of the progressive hammer 31. The locking rod 311 is mounted in the progressive ring 111, and a T-shaped adaptive hammer core 32 is inserted therein. The adaptive hammer core 32 is embedded in the progressive hammer 31, and independent air storage bags 322 are symmetrically wrapped on both sides. The outer side of the air storage bag 322 is provided with an air injection port for inflation or degassing. A clamp spring 34 is tightly clamped between the end of the air storage bag 322 and the inner wall of the progressive hammer 31. The clamp spring 34 can be squeezed and reset with the inflation or degassing of the air storage bag 322, so as to realize the smooth sliding of the progressive hammer 31 in the progressive ring 111.

[0052] When multi-angle measurement is required, the progressive assembly 3 changes the force state of the progressive hammer 31 by adjusting the inflation amount of the air bag 322, so that it slides along the progressive ring 111, driving the follow-up camera 22 to move to the target position for measurement. At the same time, the calibration camera 21 can achieve accurate calibration of the measurement area by adjusting its installation position. The entire device can not only achieve multi-angle and omnidirectional dynamic adjustment of the camera assembly 2 through the cooperation of the progressive assembly 3 and the omnidirectional guide frame 1, but also ensure the stability and accuracy of the measurement.

[0053] The present invention realizes multi-angle, omnidirectional camera installation and DIC measurement functions through the coordinated design of the omnidirectional guide frame 1, the progressive component 3 and the camera component 2. It has a compact structure and is easy to operate. It can adapt to the needs of various complex measurement scenarios and provides efficient technical support for industrial measurement, experimental research and other fields.

[0054] Furthermore, the outer circumference of the progressive hammer 31 is provided with a semicircular groove 314 that penetrates therethrough. There are eight semicircular grooves 314 that are evenly distributed below the locking rod 311. A progressive shaft 315 is vertically arranged in the semicircular groove 314, and a traveling wheel 33 is rotatably arranged thereon. The traveling wheel 33 can roll along the inner wall of the omnidirectional guide frame 1. Semicircular rolling grooves 331 and traveling slopes 332 are equidistantly arranged on the outer circumference of the traveling wheel 33. The rolling grooves 331 are adapted to the wire diameter of the clamp spring 34 and can rotate with the reciprocating motion of the clamp spring 34. The surface of the traveling slope 332 is fitted with an anti-slip coating, which can achieve smooth rolling in the omnidirectional guide frame 1 and improve the operating stability of the device.

[0055] In order to ensure smooth movement of the progressive hammer 31, the rod end of the locking rod 311 is rotatably mounted in the progressive ring 111, and can rotate synchronously with the movement of the progressive hammer 31. The surface of the track arm 11 is fitted with an elastic shock-absorbing strip 112, which is arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the progressive ring 111, effectively buffering the vibration that may be generated during the movement, further improving the stability of the measurement and the durability of the device.

[0056] It should be noted that the upper and lower end surfaces of the progressive hammer 31 are evenly provided with a through slide groove 313, the center of the outer facade of the slide groove 313 is provided with a locking hole 312, and the progressive hammer 31 is provided with a trapezoidal adjustment ruler extending from the slide groove 313. The trapezoidal adjustment ruler can be displaced with the inflation or degassing of the air storage bags 322 on both sides to squeeze the clamp spring 34, and is used for real-time dynamic calibration. Through the design of the trapezoidal adjustment ruler, the working position of the progressive hammer 31 can be dynamically adjusted according to the measurement requirements, further improving the flexibility of measurement.

[0057] In Example 2, please refer to the attached Figure 1-11 In order to increase the accuracy during the DIC measurement process, the follow-up camera 22 includes a locking plate and a fixed slider 224. A plurality of stabilizing clips 222 are detachably inserted between the locking plate and the fixed slider 224 to form a bracket for mounting the progressive ring 111. A locking bolt 223 is inserted into the inner wall of the locking plate. The locking bolt 223 is inserted and matched with the locking hole 312 to realize the detachable connection between the progressive assembly 3 and the follow-up camera 22. A limiting shaft 225 is inserted into the fixed slider 224. A moving slider 226 is sleeved on the limiting shaft 225. A measuring camera 228 is fitted on the end surface of the moving slider 226. A rotating platform 227 is sandwiched between the moving slider 226 and the measuring camera 228. The rotating platform 227 can independently adjust the rotation angle of the measuring camera 228 pointing to the observation platform 4, and can rotate within a certain range to adapt to different measurement scenes, thereby realizing a more flexible measurement angle selection.

[0058] Furthermore, the surface of the track arm 11 is provided with penetrating triangular holes, which are used to reduce the weight of the track arm 11 and avoid stress concentration. The track arm 11 can be made of aluminum alloy material, with high overall strength, and a hollow structure with a light overall mass. By increasing the mobility and service life of the omnidirectional guide frame 1, the structural strength and service life of the device are improved. Through this design, the device is lightweight while maintaining high strength, and is easy to install and use.

[0059] The working principle and use process of the present invention:

[0060] 1. Detection

[0061] Before the stitching work begins, the system first uses the camera assembly 2 to perform preliminary detection of the object on the observation platform 4. The calibration camera 21 and the follow-up camera 22 are dynamically adjusted by the omnidirectional guide frame 1 to ensure that all viewing angles of the target object can be covered. The main task of the detection stage is to extract the feature points on the surface of the object and identify the key feature points through computer vision algorithms (such as SIFT, SURF, etc.), providing a basis for subsequent image stitching and 3D reconstruction.

[0062] 2. Initialization

[0063] The initialization phase is the starting point of the stitching work, and its main purpose is to establish the initial three-dimensional coordinate system and basic view. The calibration camera 21 is calibrated at a fixed position of the omnidirectional guide frame 1 to determine the camera's internal and external parameters under the initial viewing angle. The detected feature points are matched through the initial image to generate a preliminary three-dimensional point cloud. At this point, the quality of the initial point cloud directly determines the accuracy of subsequent stitching.

[0064] 3. Add a new image

[0065] After the initialization is completed, the tracking camera 22 slides to a new position along the progressive ring 111 through the dynamic adjustment of the progressive component 3 to obtain a new perspective image. The acquisition of the new image needs to cover the unobserved area and ensure that there is enough overlap of feature points with the existing image for subsequent stitching and three-dimensional reconstruction.

[0066] 4. Estimating Camera Pose

[0067] After adding a new image, the system uses a feature point matching algorithm to compare the feature points in the new image with those in the existing image. Based on the matching results, the PnP (Perspective-n-Point) algorithm is used to estimate the camera's posture changes, including the camera's rotation and translation parameters, to determine the position and direction of the new image in three-dimensional space.

[0068] 5. Triangulate new points

[0069] After the camera pose estimation is completed, the system triangulates the feature points in the new image using the principle of multi-view geometry. The purpose of triangulation is to calculate the coordinates of these feature points in three-dimensional space based on the matching results of feature points under multiple perspectives. In this stage, the feature points in the new image will be converted into a new three-dimensional point cloud, gradually expanding the initial three-dimensional model.

[0070] 6. Update and rebuild

[0071] The new point cloud obtained by triangulation is integrated with the existing point cloud to update the 3D reconstruction model. This process requires alignment and fusion of the new and old point clouds to ensure that the newly added point cloud is consistent with the original model in the spatial coordinate system. The update and reconstruction stage is an important step in gradually improving the 3D model.

[0072] 7. Optimization

[0073] After the point cloud is updated, the system will perform local optimization on the entire 3D model. The purpose of the optimization is to eliminate the accumulated deviations caused by camera pose estimation errors, feature point matching errors, etc. Common optimization methods include BA (Bundle Adjustment), which optimizes camera parameters and 3D point cloud coordinates by minimizing the reprojection error.

[0074] 8. Iteration

[0075] The above process is an iterative process. Each time a new image is added, the camera pose estimation, triangulation, update reconstruction and optimization need to be re-performed. Through multiple iterations, the 3D model is gradually improved until all images are processed or the preset accuracy requirements are met.

[0076] 9. Global Optimization

[0077] After all images are processed, the system will perform global optimization on the entire 3D model. The purpose of global optimization is to further eliminate the cumulative effect of local errors by uniformly adjusting all camera parameters and 3D point cloud coordinates to ensure the overall accuracy and consistency of the 3D model. Global optimization usually uses a global BA algorithm combined with global constraints in multi-view geometry to obtain the optimal solution.
