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 self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp detection equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, traditional high and low beam headlights are gradually being replaced by closed-loop pixelated headlights. To ensure road safety and prevent oncoming vehicles from being dazzled by insufficient high beam brightness or excessive brightness, countries have established detailed national standards for headlight brightness and color. As a type of headlight, closed-loop pixelated headlights are also required to comply with corresponding national standards and undergo precise brightness testing before leaving the factory.

[0003] Traditional headlamp pattern detection typically adjusts and detects the light pattern by identifying the low-beam cutoff line. This cutoff line can cause false light, leading to recognition failure. Furthermore, because traditional high and low beams typically operate in either high or low beam mode, the projected pattern has a smooth transition, and its actual range can only be determined by illumination. This carries the same risk of recognition failure or error as the low-beam cutoff line.

[0004] At the same time, traditional headlamp light type testing generally only tests high and low beam types, and its testing time is relatively short, so it does not consider the impact of temperature on the luminous characteristics of its LED. Self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp testing items have more than a dozen test items, and its LED is more sensitive to temperature. Therefore, in order to more accurately measure its illumination, the influence of temperature needs to be considered. Therefore, it is necessary to calibrate the illumination of self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp testing equipment by adding temperature factors. That is, the existing technology has the following defects:

[0005] (1) Traditional light type detection methods may encounter the problem of false light causing recognition failure.

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

[0007] The above problems are in urgent need of resolution. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Example 1

[0040] For ease of understanding, the following is an overall description of the inventive concept before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail:

[0041] This application provides a calibration method and system for a self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp testing device, which includes calibration of the installation position, light pattern area, and illumination. In practical applications, the device calibrates the installation position, light pattern area, and illumination during testing of a self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp. This calibration addresses the issues of traditional solutions, such as the inability to accurately identify light pattern contours due to vignetting, and the poor repeatability of illumination testing.

[0042] The specific implementation is as follows:

[0043] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a calibration method for 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 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 characteristic points and capturing the pattern with characteristic points by using the imaging colorimeter; S6: judging whether the coordinates of the corner points of the pattern with characteristic points satisfy a preset second condition by optical detection software; S7: in response to the coordinates of the corner points of the pattern with characteristic points satisfying the preset second condition, completing the calibration of the installation position of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp and going to step S8; S8: calculating the central coordinate position of the characteristic point in the pattern with characteristic points by using a centroid algorithm; S9: performing pixel compensation on the pattern with characteristic points based on the central coordinate position of the characteristic point to complete the calibration of the light pattern area of ​​the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp; S10: measuring the steady-state illuminance value of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp by using a polynomial fitting to determine the influence of junction temperature on illuminance; S11: completing the calibration of the illuminance of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp based on the steady-state illuminance value. By calibrating the installation position of the headlamp, calibrating the light pattern area and calibrating the contrast during the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp testing process of the testing equipment, the problems of the traditional solution that the light pattern contour cannot be accurately identified due to the virtual light and the poor repeatability of the illumination test are solved.

[0045] In some feasible embodiments, step S4: in response to the image signal intensity of the luminance image of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp to be inspected, captured by the imaging colorimeter, satisfying a preset first condition, stopping luminance image acquisition, and proceeding to step S5 further includes: S401: in response to the image signal intensity of the luminance image of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp to be inspected, captured by the imaging colorimeter, not satisfying the preset first condition, the optical inspection software automatically calculating an exposure factor, adjusting the exposure time, and detecting the signal intensity until the signal intensity satisfies the preset first condition, then stopping luminance image acquisition, and proceeding to step S5. The preset first condition includes: the image signal intensity is greater than a preset first intensity threshold and less than a preset second intensity threshold; step S401 further 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 inspection software automatically calculating the exposure factor, adjusting the next exposure time, and detecting the signal intensity until the signal intensity satisfies the preset first condition, then stopping luminance image acquisition, and proceeding to step S5. Specifically, the exposure mode of the imaging colorimeter is set to a multiple exposure mode. The basic principle of automated testing equipment is that an imaging colorimeter captures luminance images, performs image processing to obtain corresponding test values, and then determines the conformity of the test sample based on these values. Because closed-loop pixelated headlights have a wide brightness range, setting the imaging colorimeter's exposure time to multiple exposure mode allows the testing equipment to automatically adjust the exposure time to meet the testing requirements of closed-loop pixelated headlights with varying brightness levels. Ensure that the image signal intensity is around 80% each time. Specific operation: When the signal intensity captured during the first preset exposure time exceeds 100% (the second intensity threshold) or falls below 70% (the first intensity threshold), the optical inspection software automatically calculates the corresponding exposure factor, adjusts the second exposure time, and measures the signal intensity. If the signal intensity is between 70% and 100%, acquisition stops and image processing begins. If the signal intensity exceeds 100% or falls below 70%, the software automatically calculates the corresponding exposure factor, adjusts the third exposure time, and measures the signal intensity. Acquisition stops and image processing begins until the signal intensity is between 70% and 100%. In other words, by setting the imaging colorimeter's exposure mode to multiple exposure mode, the uniformity of the brightness images captured by the imaging colorimeter across different brightness ranges is ensured, laying the foundation for subsequent image processing and calibration. It should be noted that the first and second intensity thresholds are not limited herein, and relevant technical personnel may modify their specific values ​​based on actual needs.

[0046] In some feasible implementations, the step S6: determining whether the coordinates of the corner points of the pattern with the feature points meet the preset second condition through optical detection software includes: S601: obtaining the coordinates of the corner points of the image with the feature points by performing image processing on the image with the feature points; S602: determining whether the coordinates of the corner points of the pattern with the 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, the 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 (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, where each lit dot consists of 9 pixels) is used to calibrate the installation position and light type area. The sample to be tested is installed on the test equipment, the 3×3 dot diagram is lit, and the image is captured using an imaging colorimeter, and then image processing is performed. 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, the headlamp tilt angle is too large and needs to be adjusted. If |(y2-y1)-(y4-y3)| / [(y2-y1)+(y4-y3) / 2]>the second threshold, the headlamp rotation angle is too large and needs to be adjusted. If both values ​​are less than or equal to the corresponding first and second thresholds, the headlamp installation meets the requirements and subsequent testing can be performed.

[0047] In some feasible embodiments, step S9: performing pixel compensation on the pattern with feature points based on the center coordinate positions of the feature points to complete the calibration of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp light pattern area includes: S901: expanding the pattern with feature points horizontally by M / (M-2) times and vertically by N / (N-2) times, wherein the original pixels of the pattern with feature points are M×N; S902: using the area indicated by the expanded pattern with feature points as the actual area of ​​the calibrated self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp full-frame illumination. Specifically, image processing is continued on the image captured by the above-mentioned 3×3 dot map, and the center coordinate positions of the 9 points on the image are calculated using a centroid algorithm, thereby obtaining the edge positions of the 3×3 dot map. If the full-frame pixels of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp are M×N, the pixels occupied by the area formed by connecting the coordinates of the points calculated using the centroid or centroid algorithm are (M-2)×(N-2). The pattern is expanded horizontally by a factor of M / (M-2) and vertically by a factor of N / (N-2). This area represents the actual illuminated area of ​​the self-closed-loop pixelated headlight. This allows for faster calculation of test values ​​for subsequent measurement items, such as 0.3 and 0.5 fields of view, solving the challenge of contour capture in certain optical test items.

[0048] In some feasible embodiments, 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 at at least four sets of junction temperatures, and obtaining the polynomial as follows:

[0049]

[0050] S1002: Calculate the polynomial coefficients a1, a2, a3, and a4 by performing calculations on at least four sets of polynomials; 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 assumed that the junction temperature Tj is related to the relative luminous intensity I / I 25℃ The relationship is I / I 25℃ =a1Tj 3 +a2Tj 2 +a3Tj+a4, where a1, a2, a3, and a4 are polynomial coefficients. Since illuminance E is proportional to luminous intensity I, that is, E=kI, then E / E 25℃ =a1Tj 3 +a2Tj 2+a3Tj+a4. In order to unify the evaluation standards, the general illuminance 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 illuminance value of each self-closed-loop pixelated headlight module is compared with a certain transient illuminance measured value E real and transient junction temperature Tj real The relationship is

[0051]

[0052] where Tj steady The junction temperature in steady state is obtained by testing during the calibration of the test equipment. Therefore, when testing each self-closed-loop pixel lamp on the test equipment, only E real and Tj real , the steady-state illumination value E can be calculated by software steady This allows for more accurate measurement of the illuminance of closed-loop pixelated headlights, eliminating temperature influences. It also improves the repeatability of illuminance-related test items such as Emax and stray light.

[0053] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the calibration of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp testing equipment includes calibration of the installation position, calibration of the light pattern area, and calibration of the illuminance, to address the problem of traditional solutions being unable to accurately identify the light pattern contour due to vignetting and the problem of poor repeatability in illuminance testing. The exposure mode of the testing equipment is set to a multiple exposure mode to match self-closed-loop pixelated headlamps of different brightness. The accuracy of the final test result is further ensured by using the corner points of a pattern with feature points projected by the headlamp to determine whether the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp is installed rotated or tilted. The center coordinate position of the feature points on the image is calculated using a centroid algorithm to achieve calibration of the light pattern area, solving the problem of contour capture for certain optical test items. By using a polynomial to fit the effect of junction temperature on illuminance, the steady-state illuminance value of the self-closed-loop pixelated headlamp can be quickly measured, effectively improving the test repeatability of illuminance-related test items such as Emax and stray light.
