Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of video processing, in particular to a video defogging control circuit. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid advancement of contemporary science and technology, video imaging technology has penetrated deeply into industrial production and people's daily lives, becoming an indispensable part. In a theoretical ideal environment, assuming that the air is extremely fresh and free of impurities, people's line of sight can even extend to nearly 100 kilometers. However, the real environment is often not so perfect. Natural or man-made factors such as hazy fog and humid water vapor may interfere with the line of sight, significantly shortening the effective distance we can observe clearly.

[0003] However, most existing video systems are designed without considering environmental issues. Once environmental problems occur, the image quality will be severely degraded, which will have a significant impact on the video content.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology often uses the video encoding chip BU6521KV to perform video defogging. The long-term operation of the video encoding chip BU6521KV will require all video images to pass through it before being output to the outside. However, this also indirectly leads to the problem that the current video system still freezes when acquiring video even when there is no fog.

[0005] Therefore, a video defogging control circuit is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0035] A video defogging control circuit, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a camera 3, a video decoding module 4, and a video defogging module 5. The output end of the video decoding module 4 is coupled to the input end of the video defogging module 5, the output end of the camera 3 is coupled to the input end of the video decoding module 4, the video decoding module 4 and the video defogging module 5 are coupled to the register through an I2C bus, a controller 1 and a display 6 are coupled to the I2C bus, the video decoding module 4 is a TVP5150AM1 PBSR video decoding chip, the video defogging module 5 is a video encoding chip BU6521 KV, and the controller 1 is an STM32F051 K8U6 control chip.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the power terminal of the video defogging module 5 is coupled to a humidity monitoring circuit, and the humidity monitoring circuit controls the video defogging module 5 to be powered on and work after secondary detection of the ambient humidity.

[0037] The humidity monitoring circuit includes a humidity sensor 7 , a first voltage comparison circuit 11 , a first trigger module 12 , a second voltage comparison circuit 8 , a second trigger module 9 , and a fan 10 .

[0038] The humidity sensor 7 collects the ambient humidity and generates a humidity signal. The input end of the first voltage comparison circuit 11 is coupled to the output end of the humidity sensor 7. The first voltage comparison circuit 11 receives the humidity signal and sends a first comparison signal in response to the humidity signal being greater than the first humidity reference signal. The input end of the first trigger module 12 is coupled to the output end of the first voltage comparison circuit 11. In response to the first comparison signal, it controls the video defogging module 5 to be powered on. The fan 10 is used to guide the air to flow toward the humidity sensor 7. The input end of the second voltage comparison circuit 8 is coupled to the output end of the humidity sensor 7. The second voltage comparison circuit 8 receives the humidity signal and sends a second comparison signal in response to the humidity signal being greater than the second humidity reference signal. The second humidity reference signal is greater than the first humidity reference signal. The input end of the second trigger module 9 is coupled to the output end of the second voltage comparison circuit 8. In response to the second comparison signal, it controls the fan 10 to be powered on.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the first voltage comparison circuit 11 is a voltage comparator, the first trigger module 12 is a first triode switch, the output end of the voltage comparator is coupled to the base of the first triode switch, the video defogging module 5 is coupled to the emitter and collector paths of the first triode switch, the second voltage comparison circuit 8 is a voltage comparator, the second trigger module 9 is a second triode switch, the output end of the voltage comparator is coupled to the base of the second triode switch, and the fan 10 is coupled to the emitter and collector paths of the second triode switch.

[0040] When the utility model is actually working, the humidity sensor 7 will first detect the ambient humidity and send out a humidity signal. Since the second humidity reference signal is greater than the first humidity reference signal, when the humidity signal is given to the second voltage comparison circuit 8, the humidity voltage converted by the humidity signal will be greater than the second reference voltage converted by the second humidity reference signal. The second voltage comparison circuit 8 therefore responds and sends out a second comparison signal to the base of the second trigger module 9, so that the collector and emitter of the second trigger module 9 form a path, so that the fan 10 is powered on and starts working, and the fan 10 guides the ambient air to enter the humidity sensor 7. The humidity sensor 7 makes contact to ensure that the object monitored by the humidity sensor 7 is the actual environmental humidity. At this time, if the humidity signal rises to be greater than the first humidity reference signal, the first voltage comparison circuit 11 will send a first comparison signal to the base of the first trigger module 12, so that the loop where the collector and emitter of the first trigger module 12 are located forms a path, so that the video defogging module 5 can be powered on and work, so that the advanced video defogging function is integrated into the current video processing system. This improvement significantly overcomes the problem of video quality loss under adverse conditions related to humidity such as full of water fog, greatly enhances the video clarity in an environment with obstructed vision, and optimizes the effect of visual monitoring.

For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
