[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] This embodiment is an application of the gun camera pan / tilt bracket in a static land environment, specifically an industrial site where the pan / tilt bracket is used to monitor the position of a target object in real time. The application installation steps are as follows:

[0054] (1) The fixed bracket, the rotating bracket, and the outer frame bracket are all made of aluminum alloy materials. The fixed bracket, the rotating bracket, the outer frame bracket, and the pan / tilt head are assembled in sequence, and then the camera is fixed on the pan / tilt head, and the angle sensor and the tilt sensor are installed on the bracket.

[0055] (2) The angle sensor and the inclination sensor are connected to the control unit. The control unit in this embodiment is implemented by a single-chip microcomputer of model STC12C5A60S2. Capacitor F, capacitor G, and crystal oscillator are connected between the XTAL2 terminal and the XTAL1 terminal of the single-chip microcomputer. Capacitor H and capacitor I are connected in parallel between the VCC terminal and the GND terminal of the single-chip microcomputer. The P4.7 / RST terminal of the single-chip microcomputer is grounded through a resistor A. The sensor arm is connected to P1.6 or (optional) of the single-chip microcomputer. The STC12C5A60S8 has a 10-bit A / D conversion that can realize the digitization of the angle (voltage DC: 0~+5V) signal, and the accuracy can reach 360° / 1024, that is: 0.3515625°. This system uses channels to ensure that the two wings of the bridge observe the target orientation. The sensor module in the conditioning circuit realizes the linear mapping of 0~360° angle measurement and 1~+5VDc. Use Keil uVision to program the inspection output sensor with 0 to 1024 working positions, design LED display on the board corresponding to the angle measurement, send the 0 to 1024 working positions to the host computer, and the azimuth angle is calculated by the host computer according to the fixed carrier or the mobile carrier.

[0056] (3) Set the initial pitch angle and roll angle of the gimbal to 15° and 25° respectively. The pitch angle is the angle of rotation around the Y axis with the ground as the reference line. The gimbal head is slightly tilted upward by 15° relative to the ground. The roll angle is the angle of rotation around the X axis with the ground as the reference line. The gimbal is tilted 25° to the left or right relative to the ground. In this embodiment, it is tilted 25° to the left.

[0057] In this embodiment, the process of achieving the pan / tilt angle correction is as follows:

[0058] With the target object as the origin of the coordinate system (0,0,0), a three-dimensional coordinate system is established, and the coordinates of the gimbal are determined to be (1,1,1). The rotation matrix A is: The parameters of the translation vector (1, 1, 1). Thus, the relevant parameters of the calibration camera are determined according to the coordinates of the pan / tilt, including the focal length of the camera is 8mm, the coordinates of the principal point are (cx960, cy540), and the camera can be ensured to clearly capture the target object.

[0059] The camera is turned on to capture images of the target object in real time, and the captured images are transmitted to the control unit. The image processing software in the control unit performs pixel enhancement, denoising, contrast enhancement, and grayscale processing on the images, thereby improving the contrast and edge clarity of the image.

[0060] After the processed image, the computer vision technology SIFT algorithm is used to extract the boundary extrema, scale invariance, rotation invariance, illumination invariance, and local features of the image in the image, and generate a feature point descriptor for the image at this moment, and save it in the image acquisition unit. The computer vision technology SIFT algorithm is then used to extract the boundary extrema, scale invariance, rotation invariance, illumination invariance, and local features of the image in the subsequent image, and generate a feature point descriptor for the subsequent image.

[0061] The image acquisition unit compares the feature point descriptors of the current image with the feature point descriptors of the subsequent image through the SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) algorithm, and generates a difference value of the subsequent image with respect to the current image.

[0062] The data processing unit uses the basic matrix attitude estimation method, combined with the obtained difference value, to solve the gimbal rotation matrix B using trigonometric functions: And the translation vector (1.2, 1.8, 1.1), the solution process is:

[0063] From the rotation matrix B: It can be learned that:

[0064] The pitch angle is obtained by calculating the arc tangent of the elements of the first row, first column, and second column of the rotation matrix, which is 18°.

[0065] The roll angle is obtained by calculating the arc tangent of the elements of the second row, second column and third column of the rotation matrix, which is 36°.

[0066] The drive unit receives the data changes of the pitch angle and roll angle, and calculates the pitch angle error of the gimbal by difference calculation, which is 3°, the roll angle error is 21°, and the translation vector is (0.2, 0.8, 0.1). The drive unit corrects the tilt angle of the gimbal according to the error value to ensure that the initial pitch angle and roll angle values ​​of the gimbal are restored.

[0067] Embodiment 2

[0068] This embodiment is an application of a gun-type pan-tilt bracket in a dynamic marine environment, specifically a transport ship using the pan-tilt bracket to monitor the environment in front of the transport ship in real time. The application installation process is equivalent to the installation process in a static land environment, and the initial pitch angle and roll angle of the pan-tilt bracket are set to 0° and 30° respectively. The initial pitch angle of the pan-tilt bracket is set to 0° in order to ensure that the camera is always parallel to the hull, so as to achieve the effect of always detecting the environment in front of the hull.

[0069] With the front end of the bow as the origin of the coordinate system (0,0,0), a three-dimensional coordinate system is established, and the coordinates of the pan / tilt camera are determined to be (3,3,3), and the rotation matrix C is: The parameters of the translation vector (3, 3, 3). Thus, the relevant parameters of the calibration camera are determined according to the coordinates of the camera, including the focal length of the camera is 80mm, the coordinates of the principal point are (cx960, cy540), and the camera can clearly capture the situation in front of the hull.

[0070] The data processing unit uses the basic matrix attitude estimation method, combined with the obtained difference value, to solve the gimbal rotation matrix D using trigonometric functions: And the translation vector (4.1, 4.8, 4.4), the solution process is:

[0071] From the rotation matrix D: It can be learned that:

[0072] The pitch angle is obtained by calculating the arc tangent of the elements of the first row, first column, and second column of the rotation matrix, which is 54°.

[0073] The roll angle is obtained by calculating the arc tangent of the elements of the second row, second column and third column of the rotation matrix, which is 72°.

[0074] The drive unit receives the data changes of the pitch angle and roll angle, and calculates the pitch angle error value of the image by difference calculation, which is 54°, the roll angle error value is 42°, and the translation vector is (1.1, 1.8, 1.4). The drive unit corrects the tilt angle of the gimbal according to this error value to ensure that the initial pitch angle and roll angle values ​​of the gimbal are restored.

[0075] When the utility model is used, the fixed bracket, the rotating bracket, the outer frame bracket and the pan / tilt are assembled in sequence, the camera is fixed on the pan / tilt, the angle sensor and the tilt sensor are installed on the bracket, and the angle sensor and the tilt sensor are connected to the control unit;

[0076] After setting the initial parameter values ​​of the camera and using the camera to capture real-time images, the image acquisition unit preprocesses the captured images to improve the quality and clarity of the images; then the data processing unit uses computer vision technology to collect and extract feature points in the image and generate image descriptors; and then the image descriptors are matched with feature points of subsequent images to generate image difference values;

[0077] The data processing unit calculates the difference value to obtain the rotation matrix and translation vector of the gimbal, thereby determining the real-time angle of the gimbal. The drive unit calculates the angle error based on the real-time angle detected by the sensor and corrects the tilt angle of the gimbal in real time.

[0078] The above is based on the ideal embodiment of the utility model. Through the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical concept of the utility model.
