Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle lamp control, and in particular to a calibration method and system for a self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp detection device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, traditional high and low beam headlights are gradually being replaced by self-closed loop pixelated headlights. In order to ensure road safety and avoid the problem of insufficient high beam brightness or excessive brightness causing dazzle to oncoming vehicles, various countries have formulated detailed national standards for the brightness and color of headlights. As a type of headlight, self-closed loop pixelated headlights also need to comply with the corresponding national standards and conduct accurate brightness testing before leaving the factory.

[0003] Traditional headlamp light pattern detection generally achieves light pattern adjustment and detection by identifying the low beam cutoff line. On the one hand, the low beam cutoff line may have a problem of false light causing recognition failure. On the other hand, since the traditional high and low beams are generally lit in high beam or low beam mode, the edge of the projected pattern is a smooth transition, and its actual range can only be determined by illumination. Like the low beam cutoff line, there is a risk of recognition failure or recognition error.

[0004] At the same time, the traditional headlamp light type detection generally only detects the high and low beam light types, and the detection time is short, so it does not consider the influence of temperature on the luminous characteristics of its LED. The detection items of self-closed-loop pixelated headlamps have more than a dozen detection items, and its LED is more sensitive to the influence of temperature. Therefore, in order to measure its illumination more accurately, it is necessary to consider the influence of temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to calibrate the illumination of self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp test equipment by adding temperature factors. That is, there are the following defects in the prior art:

[0005] (1) Traditional light type detection methods may encounter problems such as false light, which may lead to recognition failure.

[0006] (2) The LED light intensity of the closed-loop pixelated headlight decreases as the temperature rises, resulting in inaccurate testing.

[0007] The above problems need to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0038] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This figure is a simplified schematic diagram, which only illustrates the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only shows the components related to the present invention.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] For ease of understanding, the inventive concept is generally described below before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail:

[0041] The present application provides a calibration method and system for a self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp detection device, which includes calibration of the installation position, calibration of the light pattern area, and calibration of the illumination. In actual application, the installation position is calibrated, the light pattern area is calibrated, and the illumination is calibrated respectively during the detection of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp by the detection device. The calibration of the detection device can solve the problem that the traditional solution cannot accurately identify the light pattern contour due to virtual light and the problem of poor repeatability of illumination test.

[0042] The specific implementation is as follows:

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a flow chart of a calibration method of a self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp detection device provided by the present invention.

[0044] As an example, the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp detection equipment includes an imaging colorimeter, a test equipment and an optical detection software, and the calibration method includes: S1: setting the exposure mode of the imaging colorimeter to a multiple exposure mode; S2: collecting a brightness image of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp to be detected by the imaging colorimeter; S3: judging by the optical detection software whether the image signal intensity of the brightness image of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp to be detected collected by the imaging colorimeter meets a preset first condition; S4: in response to the image signal intensity of the brightness image of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp to be detected collected by the imaging colorimeter meeting the preset first condition, stopping the collection of the brightness image and going to step S5; S5: installing the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp to be detected on the test equipment, and controlling the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp to project a preset band A pattern with feature points and using the imaging colorimeter to collect the pattern with feature points; S6: judging whether the corner point coordinates of the pattern with feature points meet the preset second condition through optical detection software; S7: in response to the corner point coordinates of the pattern with feature points meeting the preset second condition, completing the calibration of the installation position of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp and turning to step S8; S8: using the centroid algorithm to calculate the central coordinate position of the feature point in the pattern with feature points; S9: based on the central coordinate position of the feature point, the pattern with feature points is pixel-compensated to complete the calibration of the light type area of ​​the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp; S10: using a polynomial fitting to measure the influence of junction temperature on illumination to obtain the steady-state illuminance value of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp; S11: completing the calibration of the illumination of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp based on the steady-state illuminance value. By calibrating the installation position of the headlamp, the light type area and the illumination during the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp detection process of the detection equipment, the problem of the traditional solution being unable to accurately identify the light type contour due to virtual light and the poor repeatability of the illumination test can be solved.

[0045] In some feasible implementations, the step S4: in response to the image signal intensity of the brightness image of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp to be detected collected by the imaging colorimeter meeting the preset first condition, stopping the acquisition of the brightness image, and going to step S5 further includes: S401: in response to the image signal intensity of the brightness image of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp to be detected collected by the imaging colorimeter not meeting the preset first condition, the optical detection software automatically calculates the exposure coefficient, adjusts the exposure time and detects the signal intensity, until the signal intensity meets the preset first condition, the acquisition of the brightness image is stopped, and the step S5 is turned to. Wherein, the preset first condition includes: the image signal intensity is greater than the preset first intensity threshold and less than the preset second intensity threshold; the step S401 also includes: when the image signal intensity is less than or equal to the preset first intensity threshold or the image signal intensity is greater than or equal to the preset second intensity threshold, the optical detection software automatically calculates the exposure coefficient, adjusts the next exposure time and detects the signal intensity, until the signal intensity meets the preset first condition, the acquisition of the brightness image is stopped, and the step S5 is turned to. Specifically, the exposure mode of the imaging colorimeter is set to the multiple exposure mode. The basic principle of the automated testing equipment is that the imaging colorimeter collects brightness images, performs image processing to obtain the corresponding test values, and judges whether the test sample is qualified based on the test values. Since the brightness range of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlight is large, the exposure time of the imaging colorimeter is set to the multiple exposure mode, so that the testing equipment can automatically adjust the exposure time to meet the test requirements of self-closed-loop pixelated headlights with different brightness. Ensure that the image signal intensity is around 80% each time. Specific operation: When the signal intensity collected by the first preset exposure time exceeds 100% (the second intensity threshold) or is lower than 70% (the first intensity threshold), the optical detection software automatically calculates the corresponding exposure coefficient, adjusts the second exposure time and detects the signal intensity. If the signal intensity is between 70% and 100%, stop collecting and start image processing. If the signal intensity exceeds 100% or is lower than 70%, the software automatically calculates the corresponding exposure coefficient, adjusts the third exposure time and detects the signal intensity until the signal intensity is between 70%-100%, stop collecting and start image processing. That is, by setting the exposure mode of the imaging colorimeter to the multiple exposure mode, the uniformity of the brightness images collected by the imaging colorimeter in different brightness ranges is ensured, which lays the foundation for subsequent image processing and calibration. It should be noted that there is no restriction on the first intensity threshold and the second intensity threshold, and relevant technical personnel can change their specific values ​​based on actual needs.

[0046] In some feasible implementations, the step S6: judging whether the coordinates of the corners of the pattern with feature points meet the preset second condition by optical detection software includes: S601: obtaining the coordinates of the corners of the image with feature points by performing image processing on the image with feature points; S602: judging whether the coordinates of the corners of the pattern with feature points meet the preset second condition. Figure 2-3 As shown, taking a 3×3 dot diagram as an example of a pattern with feature points, step S601 includes: the pattern with feature points is a 3×3 dot diagram; the coordinates of the four corner points of the 3×3 dot diagram are automatically obtained by the optical detection software, and are respectively (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3), and (x4, y4). The preset second condition is: |(x2-x1)-(x4-x3)| / [(x2-x1)+(x4-x3) / 2]≤the first threshold; and |(y2-y1)-(y4-y3)| / [(y2-y1)+(y4-y3) / 2]≤the second threshold. Among them, the first threshold and the second threshold are preferably 0.01. Specifically, since the self-closed-loop pixelated headlight can project any pattern that meets the resolution requirements, it can project a pattern with feature points (such as Figure 2 , that is, a 3*3 dot diagram, each lit dot consists of 9 pixels) to calibrate the installation position and light type area. Install the sample to be tested on the test equipment, light up the 3×3 dot diagram and use an imaging colorimeter to capture the image, and then perform image processing. The coordinates of the four corner points of the image are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3), and (x4, y4), see Figure 3 . If |(x2-x1)-(x4-x3)| / [(x2-x1)+(x4-x3) / 2]>the first threshold, it means that the headlight installation tilt angle is too large and needs to be adjusted. If |(y2-y1)-(y4-y3)| / [(y2-y1)+(y4-y3) / 2]>the second threshold, it means that the headlight installation rotation angle is too large and needs to be adjusted. If both are less than or equal to the corresponding first and second thresholds, it is said that the headlight installation meets the requirements and subsequent tests can be carried out.

[0047] In some feasible implementations, the step S9: based on the central coordinate position of the feature point, the pattern with the feature point is pixel-compensated to complete the calibration of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp light type area, including: S901: expanding the pattern with the feature point in the horizontal direction by M / (M-2) times, and expanding the pattern with the feature point in the vertical direction by N / (N-2) times, wherein the original pixel of the pattern with the feature point is M×N; S902: using the area shown by the enlarged pattern with the feature point as the actual area of ​​the calibrated self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp full-frame lighting. Specifically, continue to perform image processing on the image captured by the above 3×3 dot map, use the centroid algorithm to calculate the central coordinate position of the 9 points on the image, and then the edge position of the 3×3 dot map can be obtained. If the full-frame pixel of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp is M×N, the pixels occupied by the area connected by the coordinates of the points calculated using the centroid or centroid algorithm are (M-2)×(N-2). The pattern is enlarged by M / (M-2) times in the horizontal direction and N / (N-2) times in the vertical direction, and its area is the actual area where the self-closed-loop pixelated headlight is fully lit. Based on this, the corresponding test values ​​of subsequent measurement items such as 0.3 field of view and 0.5 field of view can be calculated more quickly, solving the problem of contour capture of some optical test items.

[0048] In some feasible implementations, the step S10: using a polynomial to fit the effect of junction temperature on illuminance to measure the steady-state illuminance value of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp includes: S1001: continuously lighting the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp, and testing to obtain illuminance under at least four sets of junction temperatures, and obtaining the polynomial as:

[0049]

[0050] S1002: Calculate at least four sets of polynomials to obtain polynomial coefficients a1, a2, a3 and a4; where E represents illuminance in Lux, and Tj represents junction temperature in °C. Specifically, the relative luminous intensity of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp LED is related to the junction temperature, and the luminous intensity gradually decreases as the junction temperature rises. If it is therefore assumed that the junction temperature Tj is related to the relative luminous intensity I / I 25℃ The relationship is I / I 25℃ =a1Tj 3 +a2T 2 +a3Tj+a4, where a1, a2, a3, and a4 are polynomial coefficients. Since the illuminance E is proportional to the luminous intensity I, that is, E=kI, then E / E 25℃ =a1Tj 3 +a2T 2+a3Tj+a4. In order to unify the evaluation standards, the general illumination test needs to test the steady-state value of the light source, that is, the value after 30 minutes. When testing on the actual detection equipment, it cannot be performed due to the test cycle. According to the above calibration method, the steady-state illumination value of each self-closed-loop pixelized headlight module is compared with a certain transient illumination measured value E real and transient junction temperature Tj real The relationship is

[0051]

[0052] Where Tj steady is the junction temperature in steady state, which is obtained by testing when the test equipment is calibrated. Therefore, when testing each self-closed-loop pixel lamp on the test equipment, only E needs to be measured. real and Tj real , the steady-state illumination value E can be calculated by software steady This allows for more accurate detection of the illumination value of closed-loop pixelated headlights, avoiding the effects of temperature. It also improves the repeatability of illumination-related test items such as Emax and stray light.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the calibration of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp detection device includes the calibration of the installation position, the calibration of the light type area and the calibration of the illumination, so as to solve the problem that the traditional solution cannot accurately identify the light type contour due to the virtual light and the problem of poor repeatability of the illumination test. By setting the exposure mode of the detection device to the multiple exposure mode, it is possible to match the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp of different brightness. By using the corner points of the pattern with feature points projected by the headlamp to determine whether the installation of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp is rotated or tilted, the accuracy of the final detection result is further guaranteed. The center coordinate position of the feature point on the image is calculated by the centroid algorithm to realize the calibration of the light type area, solving the problem of contour capture of certain optical test items. By using a polynomial to fit the effect of junction temperature on illumination, the steady-state illumination value of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp can be quickly measured, effectively improving the test repeatability of illumination-related test items such as Emax and stray light.
