[0002] In the field of underwater detection, there are two commonly used detection methods, one is to use sonar to detect underwater objects by emitting and receiving sound waves, and the other is to use optical equipment to directly collect images of underwater objects. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, multi-beam image sonar is widely used in seabed topography mapping, underwater target detection and other scenes due to its ability to penetrate water and effectively work in complex environments such as turbidity. However, the resolution of multi-beam image sonar is relatively low, making it difficult to obtain fine textures and color information of underwater targets. Underwater optical imaging has the advantages of high resolution and can present rich details and real colors, but is limited by water transparency, lighting conditions and other factors, resulting in poor imaging results in turbid and deep water environments, and limited detection distance. Therefore, many scholars have tried to combine acoustic detection and optical detection methods to improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of underwater detection, but when multi-beam image sonar and underwater optical image equipment work together, the water environment is complex, and there is a lack of suitable calibration objects in the detection area, making it difficult for the working frequency of the multi-beam image sonar and the working focal length of the underwater optical image equipment to achieve ideal adaptation, thereby affecting the accuracy of their collaborative work.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Specific implementation one: combined Figures 1 to 7 In this embodiment, a multi-beam image sonar and underwater optical image fusion comprehensive collection device is provided. The collection device includes an underwater thruster 1, which serves as a power source to drive the collection device to move underwater;

[0029] The collection device also includes a sonar mechanism, an image collection mechanism, a calibration mechanism, a front end fixed block 2, and a horizontal range finder 11.

[0030] A wire tube 1-1 is provided at the center of the front end of the underwater thruster 1, and one end of the wire tube 1-1 is in communication with the interior of the underwater thruster 1.

[0031] The front end fixed block 2 is installed on the other end of the wire tube 1-1, and the horizontal range finder 11 is installed on the front side of the front end fixed block 2.

[0032] The sonar mechanism, the image collection mechanism, and the calibration mechanism are arranged at equal angles around the front end fixed block 2 in the circumferential direction, and the sonar mechanism and the image collection mechanism are both installed on the front end fixed block 2, and the calibration mechanism is sleeved on the wire tube 1-1.

[0033] The underwater thruster 1 has a battery 12 and a data processor 13 integrated inside, the battery 12 is used to power each component in the collection device, the sonar mechanism and the image collection mechanism are both in communication connection with the data processor 13, the underwater thruster 1 and the data processor 13 are both in communication connection with the upper computer, and the data processor 13 is used to collect and process the data transmitted by the sonar mechanism and the image collection mechanism and transmit the processed data to the upper computer.

[0034] The underwater thruster 1 in this embodiment adopts existing technology, such as the underwater robot disclosed in the publication No. CN209972747U, which has several groups of thrusters installed on the robot body, and the thrusters can provide driving force in at least three directions to realize control of the position and posture of the underwater robot, full-angle hovering control, and movement control.

[0035] In this embodiment, the underwater thruster 1 is used as a propulsion device of the collection system, which learns from the structure of the existing underwater thruster. The difference from the existing underwater thruster is that a wiring pipe 1-1 is added to the front end of the underwater thruster 1, through which the power lines and transmission lines of the sonar mechanism, image collection mechanism, and calibration mechanism are introduced into the underwater thruster 1. The underwater thruster 1 also integrates a battery 12 and a data processor 13. The battery 12 is used to power each part of the collection device, and the data processor 13 is used to receive remote control instructions to control each part of the collection device to act synchronously, and on the other hand, it is used to store the data collected by the sonar mechanism and image collection mechanism, and transmit them to the remote computer wirelessly for image comparison and analysis by the staff.

[0036] The sonar mechanism is used to obtain the position and depth information of the target by emitting and receiving sound waves, the image collection mechanism is used to take pictures of the target to obtain image information of the target, and the calibration mechanism is used to adjust the working parameters of the sonar mechanism and image collection mechanism according to the water environment characteristics of the measured target. Through the combination of the three, the accuracy of collecting image information of underwater targets in turbid water areas can be ensured. It is worth noting that under normal circumstances, the sonar mechanism, image collection mechanism, and calibration mechanism are arranged in a "pin" shape. When calibration is needed, the calibration mechanism will actively enter the collection area of the sonar mechanism and image collection mechanism to assist the staff in adjusting the working frequency, working focal length, and working brightness of the sonar mechanism and image collection mechanism. After calibration is completed, the calibration mechanism returns to the original position to ensure that it does not interfere with the sonar mechanism and image collection mechanism during subsequent information collection of underwater targets.

[0037] Specific implementation method two: combined with Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment is a further limitation of the sonar mechanism in specific implementation method one. The sonar mechanism includes a linear module 3 and a sonar assembly 5. One end of the linear module 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the front fixed block 2, and the sonar assembly 5 is arranged on the side of the linear module 3 away from the underwater thruster 1 and is fixedly connected to the sliding block in the linear module 3.

The sonar mounting plate 5-1 is used to fix the multi-beam image sonar 5-2 to ensure its stability during work. The multi-beam image sonar 5-2 adopts a high-precision multi-beam transducer array, which can emit and receive sound wave signals in different directions, realize the detection of a large range of underwater area, and obtain the position, depth and other information of the target. At the same time, the multi-beam transducer array can ensure the directivity of sound wave emission and the sensitivity of reception, and ensure the accuracy of detection data.

[0040] Specific embodiment four: in combination with Figures 1 to 7 To illustrate the embodiment, the embodiment is a further limitation of the image acquisition mechanism in the first specific embodiment. The image acquisition mechanism includes a second linear module 4 and an underwater high-definition camera 6. One end of the second linear module 4 is fixedly connected with the outer wall of the front end fixed block 2. The underwater high-definition camera 6 is arranged on the side of the second linear module 4 away from the underwater thruster 1 and is fixedly connected with the sliding block in the second linear module 4. The other components and connection modes are the same as those in the first specific embodiment.

[0041] Specific embodiment five: in combination with Figures 1 to 7 To illustrate the embodiment, the embodiment is a further limitation of the underwater high-definition camera 6 in the fourth specific embodiment. The underwater high-definition camera 6 is circumferentially arranged with four underwater fill-in lights. The other components and connection modes are the same as those in the fourth specific embodiment.

[0042] In combination with the fourth and fifth specific embodiments, the second linear module 4 also adopts a CFX10 type fully enclosed sliding table module to adjust the working position of the underwater high-definition camera 6. The underwater high-definition camera 6 adopts a high-resolution underwater camera, and a lighting system is arranged around it. The underwater camera has high pixels, wide dynamic range and other characteristics, and can capture clear images. The lighting system adopts adaptive fill-in lights, which can automatically adjust the brightness, color temperature and other parameters of the light source according to the illumination intensity and turbidity of the water environment, to obtain the best imaging effect. At the same time, a protection device against dirt and water mist is arranged outside the underwater high-definition camera 6 to ensure the cleanliness and normal work of the lens.

[0043] Specific implementation six: combined Figures 1 to 7 To illustrate this embodiment, the calibration mechanism in this embodiment is further limited in specific implementation one, and the calibration mechanism comprises a fixing frame 7, an oscillating motor 8, an oscillating rod 9, and a calibration plate 10.

The power output shaft of the oscillating motor 8 extends to the lower side of the front end fixed block 2.

[0044] Specific implementation seven: combined Figures 1 to 7 To illustrate this embodiment, the calibration mechanism in this embodiment is further limited in specific implementation six.

Triangular grooves, cross-shaped grooves, rectangular grooves, and circular grooves are processed on the calibration side of the calibration plate 10. The triangular grooves, the cross-shaped grooves, the rectangular grooves, and the circular grooves are arranged in a matrix. Different color layers are coated on the inner walls of the triangular grooves, the cross-shaped grooves, the rectangular grooves, and the circular grooves, respectively. The other components and connection modes are the same as those in specific implementation six.

[0045] In combination with specific implementation six and specific implementation seven, in order to make the calibration structure not affect the influence of the subsequent acquisition device on the target, the calibration structure in this application adopts a swingable design. The swing structure takes the oscillating motor 8 as a power source. When calibration work is needed, the oscillating motor 8 drives the oscillating rod 9 to swing normally until the calibration plate 10 enters the working range of the sonar mechanism and the image acquisition mechanism. The acoustic / optical calibration under different distances and different angles is completed through the linear module. The information of the current water body can be better obtained.

[0048] Step c, drive the swing rod 9 upward to 45° angle between the plane where the sonar mechanism and image acquisition mechanism are located by swing motor 8, at this time readjust the working position of sonar assembly 5 on the first linear module 3, and synchronously adjust the working position of underwater high-definition camera 6 on the second linear module 4, and keep the single-time adjustment amount of sonar assembly 5 and underwater high-definition camera 6 consistent, repeat the calibration process in the above step b, get new five calibration image samples, respectively marked as calibration sample 6, calibration sample 7, calibration sample 8, calibration sample 9 and calibration sample 10;

[0049] Step d, drive the swing rod 9 upward to 30° angle between the plane where the sonar mechanism and image acquisition mechanism are located by swing motor 8, at this time readjust the working position of sonar assembly 5 on the first linear module 3, and synchronously adjust the working position of underwater high-definition camera 6 on the second linear module 4, and keep the single-time adjustment amount of sonar assembly 5 and underwater high-definition camera 6 consistent, repeat the calibration process in the above step b, get new five calibration image samples, respectively marked as calibration sample 11, calibration sample 12, calibration sample 13, calibration sample 14 and calibration sample 15;

[0050] Step e, the remote staff adjusts the working frequency of the sonar mechanism and the working focal length of the image acquisition mechanism and the brightness of the light compensation lamp based on the preset values of the working frequency of the sonar mechanism and the working focal length of the image acquisition mechanism, so as to improve the working adaptation of the sonar mechanism and the image acquisition mechanism, and then ensure the accuracy of the collected information when the target object is collected subsequently.

[0051] The present application has been disclosed in the preferred embodiments as above, however, not for limiting the present application, any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the equivalent embodiments within the scope of the technical solutions of the present application without departing from the technical solutions of the present application, but any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application shall still fall within the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.

[0055] Step 2: after the working frequency of the sonar mechanism and the working focal length of the image acquisition mechanism are determined in step 1, the underwater propeller 1 continues to drive the collection device to approach the target object 1 m away, and when the image acquisition area is reached, the collection device collects information of the target through the sonar mechanism and the image acquisition mechanism, and in the collection process, the collection device is moved along the object contour by the underwater propeller 1, and the sonar assembly 5 and the underwater high-definition camera 5 are moved on the first linear module 3 and the second linear module 4 to adjust the collection area;
