Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of reconnaissance images, in particular to a fog-penetrating visible light imaging device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of reconnaissance image technology, visible light cameras are widely used for daytime reconnaissance. Visible light cameras usually work in color mode. To ensure normal color imaging, it is necessary to filter out the near-infrared band that makes the image red. The lens glass coating is usually 400-650nm.

[0003] Traditional visible light imaging devices can only obtain blurred images under weather conditions such as fog, dust, smoke, and light rain, and the effective reconnaissance distance is greatly shortened compared to clear weather, resulting in poor reconnaissance effects under adverse weather conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a visible light imaging device that can penetrate fog, so as to ensure that detection can still be carried out under adverse weather conditions.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a technical solution: a fog-penetrating visible light imaging device, comprising a visible light lens, an optical switching mechanism, and a camera arranged in sequence along an optical path, wherein the optical switching mechanism comprises a driver, visible light colored glass, and fog-penetrating glass, wherein the visible light colored glass and the fog-penetrating glass are driven by the driver to be placed in the optical path in an alternative manner.

[0006] According to the above scheme, in the optical switching mechanism, the visible light colored glass and the mist-transmitting glass are arranged on the glass fixing part, the glass fixing part is drivingly connected to the output end of the driver, and the glass fixing part rotates around its rotation axis under the drive of the driver.

[0007] According to the above scheme, the rotation axis of the glass fixing member is perpendicular to the light path, and the visible light colored glass and the mist-transmitting glass are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotation axis of the glass fixing member.

[0008] According to the above scheme, the coating band of the visible light lens is 400 to 1100nm.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the coating band of visible light colored glass is 400~650nm.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the coating band of fog-transmitting glass is 700~1100nm.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the visible light lens in the device covers the color imaging band and the near-infrared band. When a color image is required, the control driver places the visible light colored glass in the optical path to filter out the near-infrared band. At this time, the camera is set to the color mode, which can achieve color imaging under normal conditions. When the weather conditions are not good, the control driver places the fog-penetrating glass in the optical path to filter out the color imaging band. Since the near-infrared optical fiber can diffract tiny particles, the near-infrared light can be used for fog-penetrating imaging. At this time, the camera is set to the black and white mode to avoid the image from being red. The device can selectively filter out the color imaging band or the near-infrared band in the optical path according to actual needs. By switching the camera imaging mode, it can realize the free switching between conventional color imaging and fog-penetrating imaging, which expands the use scenarios of the visible light imaging device and enables detection even in bad weather.
