[0002] With the development of water transportation facilities, as an important means of transportation connecting both sides of a water area, the stability and safety of a floating bridge are of crucial importance. Currently, a common floating bridge can be formed by several floating ships and the bridge decks carried thereon. Its load-bearing capacity mainly comes from the buoyancy of water. However, its lateral stiffness is relatively weak and it is easily affected by wind, water flow, and waves, making it difficult to ensure that the line type between several floating ships is straight.

[0003] When a traditional floating bridge is in use, the line type adjustment between several floating ships relies on manual operation, which is a cumbersome process with low accuracy and relatively low efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic control system and control method for the floating bridge line type based on computer vision to solve the problem of low efficiency in line type adjustment between several floating ships when a traditional floating bridge is in use.

Then, the industrial computer analyzes the information collected by the environmental data acquisition unit and controls the driving unit to drive the floating ship to move until the floating bridge line type deviation meets the threshold.

[0008] To optimize the above technical solution, the specific measures taken further include:

[0009] Further, the industrial computer includes an image processing module, an image analysis module, a data processing module, an instruction generation module, and a wireless communication module. The image processing module is used for image processing. The image analysis module is used to analyze the processed image, identify the corresponding target offset and offset speed, and determine whether the floating bridge line type deviation exceeds a preset threshold. The instruction generation module generates control instructions according to the analysis results and sends them to the environmental data acquisition unit through the wireless communication module. The data processing module is used to analyze and calculate the information data collected by the environmental data acquisition unit, and then control the drive unit on the corresponding floating ship for drive adjustment according to the calculation results through the instruction generation module and the wireless communication module.

The image acquisition card converts the images into digital signals and transmits them to the industrial computer 2. The industrial computer 2 analyzes the images and determines whether the floating bridge line type deviation exceeds a preset threshold.
