Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of optical detection technology, and in particular to a method for real-time detection of solution refractive index based on magnified imaging and machine vision. Background Technology
[0002] Existing technologies for detecting transparent solutions have significant shortcomings. Contact-type instruments require direct immersion in the solution, making them susceptible to chemical corrosion and difficult to clean. They also suffer from evaporation errors when detecting volatile solutions such as alcohol. Traditional refractometers, while capable of measuring refractive index, require manual sampling and are highly susceptible to ambient light interference, making them unsuitable for continuous production environments such as winemaking and chemical distillation. Laser interferometry offers high sensitivity to changes in solution refractive index, but its optical path adjustment is complex and its stability is extremely poor under vibration. Current technologies also exhibit weak resolution for low-refractive-index transparent solutions and are easily affected by temperature fluctuations. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Based on a clear image of the microscopic scale obtained from the image sensor, the size of the microscopic scale image on the image sensor is recorded as follows: The microscale size is Thus, the transverse magnification can be obtained. Substitute the solution refractive index into the solution. and vertical axis magnification The formula for calculating the refractive index of the solution is used.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0046] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0047] This embodiment provides a method for real-time detection of solution refractive index based on magnified imaging and machine vision, which is used for non-contact rapid measurement of liquid refractive index, and is especially suitable for the detection and real-time monitoring of refractive index of transparent to semi-transparent liquids such as alcohol, sugar solutions and electrolyte solutions.
[0048] refer to Figure 1This embodiment also provides a solution refractive index measuring device based on the detection method. The solution refractive index measuring device includes an illumination source 1, a hollow glass block 2 containing a sample flow cell 4, and an image sensor 6 arranged sequentially along the optical path. The illumination source 1, the hollow glass block 2 containing the sample flow cell 4, and the image sensor 6 are coaxially arranged, and there is a gap between the hollow glass block 2 and the image sensor 6, which forms an air gap 5. A circuit system 7, a motor system 8, and a position sensor system 9 are connected to the rear side of the image sensor 6. The image sensor 6 is a CMOS image sensor, and the illumination source 1 is an incoherent light source. The motor system 8 is used to drive the image sensor 6 to move back and forth along the optical path, and the position sensor system 9 is used to record the position of the image sensor 6. The image sensor 6, the motor system 8, and the position sensor system 9 are electrically connected to the circuit system 7.
[0049] The hollow portion inside the hollow glass block 2 is the sample flow cell 4, which is the channel for the solution to be tested, and the solution to be tested contains the solution to be tested. The side of the hollow glass block 2 facing the illumination source 1 is a first plane, and the illumination source 1 is disposed in close contact with the first plane. The side of the sample flow cell 4 facing the illumination source 1 is a second plane, and a microscopic scale 3 is disposed outside the second plane. The side of the sample flow cell 4 facing the image sensor 6 is a first arc surface, and the side of the hollow glass block 2 facing the image sensor 6 is a second arc surface. The hollow glass block 2 and the solution to be tested constitute a composite lens. The hollow glass block 2, the sample flow cell 4, and the air gap 5 constitute a magnified imaging system, and the first arc surface and the second arc surface constitute a convex lens.
[0050] When the illumination light emitted by the illumination source 1 shines on the microscale 3, the light carrying the microscale information passes through the sample flow cell 4 and the hollow glass block 2 and exits onto the image sensor 6. Then, according to the focusing algorithm, the image sensor 6 is moved by the motor system 8 to accurately focus the microscale information, ensuring that the image of the microscale on the image sensor 6 is a clear image. The position of the image sensor 6 is recorded by the position sensor system 9. The refractive index of the solution is calculated based on the relationship between the axial position of the image sensor 6 and the refractive index of the solution, and the refractive index of the solution is inverted by the magnification of the microscale on the image sensor 6.
[0051] The focusing algorithm works as follows: the system employs contrast-based focusing. Circuit system 7 drives image sensor 6, which acquires images in real time. Circuit system 7 calculates the contrast, compares and selects the image with the highest contrast, and determines whether the image is in focus based on the highest contrast value. If the image is not in focus, circuit system 7 drives motor system 8 to move image sensor 6 to achieve focus. Once focused, motor system 8 stops driving, and position sensor system 9 records the position of image sensor 6.
[0052] The specific principle of contrast judgment is as follows: when the object is out of focus, the image is blurred into a series of blur circles superimposed together. At this time, the radius of the blur circles is much larger than the point, so the brightness and contrast are low; while when the focus is accurate, the in-focus area is a series of points, the image is sharp, and therefore the contrast is high.

[0055] Step B: The light carrying the microscale information forms an image on the image sensor, and the image information of the microscale on the image sensor is recorded. The image sensor is driven to move axially by the focusing algorithm until the image of the microscale on the image sensor is clear, and the axial position of the image sensor is recorded. The refractive index of the solution is analyzed based on the relationship between the axial position of the image sensor and the refractive index of the solution.
[0056] Step C: Analyze the magnification of the image on the micro scale by the imaging system and invert the refractive index of the solution by measuring the image size on the micro scale on the image sensor. Compare this with the refractive index of the solution obtained in step B to improve the redundancy of the system measurement.
