Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fog detection technology, and in particular to a fog detector and method for eliminating the effects of light difference. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of fog detection, dynamic changes in lighting conditions, such as day-night cycles, changes in weather conditions, and variations in the angle of light during sunrise and sunset, are the core interference factors affecting detection accuracy. Existing fog detection equipment generally suffers from insufficient adaptability to differences in lighting conditions.

[0003] Traditional equipment often employs single-band or fixed-band optical detection schemes, with detection wavelengths typically concentrated in the visible light range, only suitable for fog scattering characteristics under specific lighting conditions. However, in practical applications, the optical characteristics of fog vary significantly under different lighting scenarios—at dawn and dusk, the proportion of long-wavelength components in sunlight increases, altering the scattering intensity and spectral distribution of fog; on cloudy days or at night, ambient light intensity is significantly reduced and the spectral composition is homogeneous, making traditional fixed-band detection susceptible to background light noise interference, thus hindering fog concentration signal extraction.

[0004] This sensitivity to differences in illumination directly leads to a series of problems: First, the detection signal is distorted. Under complex illumination conditions, the fog concentration data output by the equipment deviates significantly and cannot accurately reflect the actual fog conditions. Second, the adaptability is narrow. The detection stability of the same equipment is poor at different times and under different weather conditions, requiring frequent manual calibration to match changes in illumination, which is cumbersome and costly to maintain. Third, the application is limited. In scenarios such as transportation and aviation, where the real-time and reliability requirements for detection are extremely high, the risk of misjudgment and missed detection caused by illumination interference may lead to serious safety hazards.

[0005] Therefore, how to effectively eliminate the interference of light difference on fog detection and improve the adaptability and detection accuracy of the equipment in complex lighting environments has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
