Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of image acquisition equipment, in particular to a camera device with an illumination function. Background Art

[0002] In the field of mobile inspection of highway tunnels, with the rapid development of transportation infrastructure construction, tunnel safety and maintenance efficiency are receiving increasing attention. Currently, mobile tunnel inspection equipment integrated with industrial camera systems has become a mainstream tool in this field. Equipped with high-precision industrial cameras, sensors, and data processing systems, these devices can capture real-time images of the tunnel interior, structural status, and other information, providing strong support for tunnel health monitoring and safety assessment. With continuous technological advancements, these inspection equipment is developing towards higher resolution, faster processing speeds, and greater intelligence to meet the complex and ever-changing needs of tunnel inspection.

[0003] Traditional camera focusing devices with integrated laser rangefinders often suffer from image recognition issues in complex tunnel environments due to insufficient lighting or inaccurate focusing. In particular, when even the maximum aperture setting fails to meet lighting requirements, image quality degrades significantly, hindering subsequent inspections and camera lens calibration. The accuracy of camera lens calibration directly impacts image acquisition accuracy and subsequent processing. Therefore, a camera device capable of supplementary lighting is needed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of nondestructive tunnel testing. Utility Model Content
