Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of facial imaging devices, and particularly relates to a multi-modal facial photographing and analyzing device. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of medical treatment, health, beauty, and biological analysis, there are strict technical requirements for facial imaging. For example, in the medical field, it is necessary to clearly display the fine structures of the face, such as the details of skin lesions, blood vessel distribution, nerve pathways, etc. For example, when diagnosing facial nerve diseases, it is possible to accurately capture the minute changes of nerves. High precision and high resolution are required, so high precision and high resolution are needed; at the same time, it is necessary to obtain different types of image information simultaneously, such as visible light, infrared, fluorescence, etc., in order to comprehensively judge the condition. For example, when detecting skin cancer, multi-modal imaging is used to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions. When performing quantitative analysis capabilities, it is necessary to accurately measure and quantify the features in the image, such as the size, depth, color intensity, etc. of the lesion area. For example, when evaluating the burn healing process, quantitatively measure the area and quality of the newly formed skin; during real-time imaging, for example, during surgery, it can provide real-time images of the face to assist doctors in performing precise operations and reducing surgical risks.

[0003] In the health field, it is not allowed to cause any harm or discomfort to the human body, and the safety of the detection process should be ensured. For example, when used for sleep monitoring, it should not affect the normal rest of the patient; it also needs to have the function of long-term monitoring, and be able to support long-term continuous monitoring to observe the changes of facial features over time, such as the relationship between facial expressions and psychological stress; there are also certain requirements for portability, and the device should be easy to carry and use, suitable for home health monitoring or mobile medical scenarios. For example, when used for telemedicine, patients can operate by themselves at home to perform facial imaging and upload data.

[0004] In the beauty field, it is necessary to have the function of skin assessment, and be able to accurately assess the texture, moisture content, oil secretion, pigmentation, etc. of the skin, providing a basis for formulating beauty plans. For example, when selecting suitable skin care products, recommendations are made based on the skin assessment results. It also needs to have an effect tracking function and a 3D imaging function. Before and after beauty treatments, imaging is compared to evaluate the treatment effect, such as laser beauty, injection beauty, etc.; provide three-dimensional morphological information of the face for preoperative design and postoperative evaluation of plastic surgery.

[0005] In the field of bioanalysis, molecular-level imaging is required to detect specific biomolecules in facial tissues, such as proteins and gene expression, for early disease diagnosis and biomarker research. Cellular-level imaging and dynamic imaging are also needed to observe the morphology, distribution, and activities of facial cells. For example, studying the metabolism and aging processes of skin cells; real-time monitoring of the dynamic changes in biological processes, such as the metabolism and distribution of drugs in facial tissues.

[0006] In summary, the requirements for facial imaging technology in different fields have different emphases. Existing patents only implement single-functional products for a single application field and are not suitable for cross-field use. Moreover, the control of the product itself in terms of ambient light control, imaging color control, 3D modeling accuracy, etc. only reaches the industry average level. Therefore, in order to pursue higher precision, wider applications, better safety, and convenience, a more comprehensive and higher-precision multimodal facial photography analyzer is needed.

The character " / ", generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0028] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a multi-modal facial photographing analyzer includes a housing 7, a light homogenizing inner liner 3 provided in the housing 7, a standard light illumination excitation component 13 provided between the inner bottom of the light homogenizing inner liner 3 and the housing 7, a 3D binocular camera 4, a hyperspectral camera 6, and a TOF module 8. A plurality of through holes 9 are provided on the light homogenizing inner liner 3, and a jaw rest 11 is further provided at the front end of the housing 7. The 3D binocular camera 4, the hyperspectral camera 6, and the TOF module 8 collect facial information through the through holes 9, wherein the TOF module 8 and the hyperspectral camera 6 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the 3D binocular camera 4, and the 3D binocular camera 4 is located at the middle position of the bottom of the light homogenizing inner liner 3.

[0029] During actual use, the person whose facial features are to be collected places their chin on the jaw rest 11, and then turns their face towards the inside of the light homogenizing inner liner 3. One or more of the 3D binocular camera 4, hyperspectral camera 6, and TOF module 8 are activated to collect the person's facial information. Among them, the 3D binocular camera 4 and the hyperspectral camera 6 use high-resolution image sensors and are equipped with high-quality optical lenses to obtain clear facial details. Through the hyperspectral imaging of the hyperspectral camera 6, parameters such as skin moisture content, sebum secretion, and pigment distribution can be analyzed. By introducing the 3D scanning technology in the 3D binocular camera 4, the facial contour and wrinkle depth can be accurately measured to evaluate the beauty effect; through the TOF module 8, the facial features of a person can also be recognized, and functions such as judging a person's age, skin type, facial bone changes, and pathological analysis can be achieved through big data. In combination with the hyperspectral and high-precision color restoration cameras, more recognition and detection can be realized. By combining the visible light imaging and infrared thermal imaging emitted by the standard light excitation component 13, the temperature distribution of the face can be detected to assist in the diagnosis of diseases such as inflammation; by integrating fluorescence imaging, specific fluorescent agents are injected to label diseased tissues, improving the diagnostic accuracy. By developing an image fusion algorithm, images of different modalities can be accurately superimposed and registered, providing comprehensive information for doctors. Through precise acquisition of face images through different combinations, the facial photo analyzer can be applied to different fields.

[0030] Among them, the TOF module 8 mainly includes a light emitting unit, optical lenses, an image sensor, and possibly an infrared filter, etc. Among them, the light emitting unit is used to emit near-infrared light waves, the optical lenses are used to focus and transmit the light waves, the image sensor receives the reflected light waves, and the depth information is obtained by calculating the flight time of the light, thereby realizing 3D imaging. The infrared filter only allows infrared light of the corresponding wavelength at the emission end to pass through, filtering out optical interference of other wavelengths. The specific composition of the TOF module 8 may vary depending on different products and applications. For example, in some TOF modules 8, components such as a control chip and a lens may also be included, which have the characteristics of simple structure, small module size, long detection distance, and low material cost, and can be widely used in multiple fields such as surveying and mapping, logistics, driverless, mobile phones, tablets, and various intelligent hardware. It has advantages such as richer depth of field information, safer 3D face recognition, smaller volume, lower environmental requirements, and lower cost.

[0031] Further improvement is made such that the light homogenizing inner liner 3 includes a horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31 with rounded corners at the rectangle, and a light homogenizing plate 32 provided at the inner bottom of the horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31. The light homogenizing plate 32 is vertically arranged at the light entrance of the horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31 to form a horn-shaped reflection cavity, and the opening of the horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31 faces the side of the outer shell 7.

[0032] After the standard light excitation component 13 is started, light can pass through the light homogenizing plate 32 and irradiate the face of the image to be collected. At the same time, the light in the light homogenizing inner tank 3 can also be homogenized by the horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31, making the brightness of the face to be detected more uniform, making the collected image more accurate, and the collection result stable and reliable.

[0033] Further improvement is that the horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31 is fitted and arranged in the housing 7, and a ring of protective silica gel 2 is provided at the open end of the horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31 and the housing 7.

[0034] The horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31 is fitted and arranged in the housing 7. Through the protective silica gel 2, the open end of the horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31 and the housing 7 can be shielded and protected, and it can also play a protective role for the face, so that when the face approaches the jaw rest 11, even if it collides with the photo analyzer, it contacts the protective silica gel 2.

[0035] Further improvement is that the standard light excitation component 13 includes a mounting plate 14 and light sources 15 evenly distributed on the mounting plate 14.

[0036] The distribution of the light sources 15 is in a ring shape or a neatly arranged shape to reduce shadows and reflections. In addition, the light sources 15 can also use, for example, LED light sources 15 or xenon lamps, etc. In this solution, the mounting plate 14 is used to fix the light sources 15, so as to ensure the consistency of the irradiation light angle and the uniformity.

[0037] Further improvement is that the inner layers of the horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31 and the light homogenizing plate 32 are coated with scratch-resistant total reflection environmental protection coatings.

[0038] The scratch-resistant total reflection environmental protection coating can effectively protect the outer surfaces of the horn-shaped light homogenizing cover 31 and the light homogenizing plate 32, avoid scratching and abrasion, make their service life longer, and the light homogenizing effect more stable.

[0039] Further improvement is that a U-shaped support frame 1 is provided at the bottom of the housing 7, and a storage cavity 10 penetrating through both sides is formed between the housing 7 and the support frame 1, and the housing 7 is horizontally placed through the support frame 1.

[0040] When people perform face recognition, it can be placed on the operating table through the support frame 1, which is convenient for the face to approach the detection. And through the storage cavity 10, the overall weight can be reduced, and temporary items such as mobile phones can be placed.

[0041] Further improvement is that a main camera 5 is provided in the middle of the 3D binocular camera 4, and the 3D binocular camera 4 and the main camera 5 are horizontally arranged.

[0042] The main camera 5 enables high color reproduction performance during face image acquisition.

[0043] Furthermore, it is improved that four rubber anti-slip blocks 12 are provided at the bottom of the support frame 1.

[0044] When the facial photograph analyzer is placed on the operating table, it is contacted and supported by the rubber anti-slip blocks 12, which can make its placement more stable and less likely to fall on a smooth surface.

[0045] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the scope of protection of the present application cannot be limited thereby. Any non-substantive changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present application all belong to the scope of protection required by the present application.
