Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spectral cameras, in particular to a water quality multi-spectral camera with an ambient light calibration device. Background Art

[0002] The water quality multispectral camera uses natural light or active light source to illuminate the monitoring target, records and calculates the reflectance data of each band of the sensor, and uses the existing model to analyze the properties of the monitoring target. At present, spectral cameras are mostly used for shooting in indoor environments with active light sources. There is a lack of ambient light calibration and river imaging system. The monitored water surface is small and it is impossible to conduct surface water quality distribution monitoring of large-area rivers. It is mainly cross-sectional monitoring. At the same time, the natural light changes drastically and it is difficult to obtain accurate water surface reflectance data, and thus it is difficult to accurately evaluate the water quality of the river. Therefore, the utility model proposes a water quality multispectral camera with ambient light calibration equipment to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a water quality multi-spectral camera with an ambient light calibration device, which solves the problems mentioned in the above background technology.

[0005] Furthermore, a lens is installed on the other side of the wheel-type spectrometer, and a microwave level meter is installed below the pan / tilt table.

[0006] Furthermore, a skylight window is installed above the pan / tilt.

[0007] Furthermore, a water surface window is embedded and installed below the pan / tilt platform.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the output shaft of the deflection plate motor passes through the interior of the installation box, and the deflection plate motor is used to control the flipping of the deflection plate.

[0009] Beneficial Effects

[0010] The utility model provides a water quality multi-spectral camera with an ambient light calibration device. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This water quality multispectral camera with ambient light calibration equipment is oriented to the river water quality scene, with natural light as the main incident light source. It collects the sky light and water surface reflection spectrum through the built-in deflector, detects the external light intensity in real time through the photometer, and controls the photo integration time, so as to avoid the signal-to-noise ratio being too low during the period of weak light and overexposure during the period of strong light. Through the pan-tilt and mirror deflection, it can collect spectral photos within the range of 3 meters × 10 meters on the river surface, obtain water quality distribution data near the key water quality monitoring section, and collect the current ambient light data while shooting the river surface spectral data, and perform spectral reflectance calibration, so as to serve as data support for water surface water quality assessment.
