Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aerospace technology, and specifically relates to a satellite payload integrating an intelligent module and a camera. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of aerospace technology, the functionality and integration requirements of satellite payloads are becoming increasingly demanding. Traditional satellite payloads are often composed of independent camera modules and data processing modules. This design not only increases the weight and complexity of the satellite, but also limits the flexibility and scalability of the payload. In addition, traditional optical camera payloads cannot perform intelligent data processing after the camera takes the picture. The massive amount of image data needs to be processed manually, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. In industries that require rapid data application in real time, this image data processing method obviously cannot meet the needs of industry applications. For example, in the field of ocean inspection, if the position of ships on the sea surface and the ship's route need to be detected in real time, the captured images must be calibrated, analyzed, and processed in a timely manner. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a satellite payload that integrates intelligent modules and cameras to achieve rapid intelligent analysis and processing of image data. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a satellite payload that integrates an intelligent module and a camera, which can realize rapid intelligent analysis and processing of image data.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a satellite payload integrating an intelligent module and a camera, comprising: an image acquisition device for acquiring picture information;

[0005] A mounting structure, wherein the top of the mounting structure comprises at least a first side panel enclosing a mounting space;

[0006] The intelligent module structure is used to receive and process the image information collected by the image acquisition device; the mounting structure is connected to the intelligent module structure through the first side plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the installation structure further includes a second side panel enclosing an installation space;

[0008] The lens barrel of the image acquisition device passes through the second side plate and extends outside the installation space.

[0009] Furthermore, the intelligent module structure includes a PCB board inside, and the PCB board is electrically connected to the mounting structure and the image acquisition device respectively, and is used to process image data captured by the image acquisition device.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting structure is electrically connected to the image acquisition device via a wire.

[0011] Furthermore, the intelligent module structure further includes a third side panel enclosing an installation space, and the third side panel includes a plug-in port for plugging in wires or cables.

[0012] Furthermore, the satellite payload further comprises: a fixing device, the fixing device being provided at the bottom of the mounting structure and the image acquisition device;

[0013] The mounting structure and the image acquisition device are respectively fixedly connected to the fixing device.

[0014] Furthermore, the image acquisition device is integrally formed with or fixedly connected to the mounting structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the image acquisition device is detachably connected to the mounting structure through a slot and a slide rail. The image acquisition device is provided with a slot that matches the slide rail on the mounting structure. After sliding the image acquisition device to a predetermined position, the image acquisition device is fixedly connected to the mounting structure.

[0016] Furthermore, the satellite payload integrating the intelligent module and the camera further comprises: a guide structure for guiding the installation path of the image acquisition device on the installation structure;

[0017] A locking structure is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the image acquisition device and is fixedly connected to the fixing device, and is used to fix the image acquisition device.

[0018] Furthermore, the lens barrel of the image acquisition device is provided with an optical adjustment mechanism, which is fine-tuned after installation to ensure imaging quality.

[0019] Beneficial effects

[0020] This application designs a simple, low-cost intelligent module structure. The internal PCBA board is equipped with advanced intelligent algorithms, which can process image data in real time and quickly. Therefore, the moment the satellite payload captures the image information, the intelligent module structure can immediately identify, analyze and process the image, which can greatly shorten the data processing time and improve the efficiency of data processing. At the same time, intelligent processing also makes the application of data more convenient and extensive. For example, in the field of ocean detection, the position and route of ships on the sea level can be detected in real time, providing strong support for industry applications.

[0021] In addition, the intelligent module structure and image acquisition device in this application achieve rapid transmission of data information through connection methods such as cables and connectors. This connection method is not only simple and efficient, but also highly reliable, ensuring the security and integrity of data during transmission. At the same time, because the intelligent module device can process image data in real time, the data has been preliminarily processed and analyzed before being transmitted to the ground, thereby greatly improving the utilization efficiency and value of the data; realizing intelligent processing and rapid transmission of data, thereby reducing costs. On the one hand, the intelligent module can process image data in real time, reducing the steps and costs of manual processing; on the other hand, the rapid transmission of data information also reduces the time cost of data transmission and processing. At the same time, because the data is processed and analyzed in real time, its timeliness is also significantly improved, allowing the data to be applied to actual production and life more quickly.

In this embodiment, the image acquisition device can be configured as an optical camera; the satellite payload also includes a mounting structure 2, the top of which includes at least a first side panel 21 enclosing an installation space; the satellite payload also includes an intelligent module structure 3 for receiving and processing the image information acquired by the image acquisition device 1; the mounting structure 2 and the intelligent module structure 3 are connected via the first side panel 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, the image acquisition device 1 is configured as a high-precision optical camera with a resolution of 3.45 m. The optical camera exhibits high-resolution imaging capabilities and rapid response characteristics, enabling the capture of clear images of the sea surface. Furthermore, the lens barrel 12 of the image acquisition device 1 is equipped with an optical adjustment mechanism that allows for post-installation fine-tuning to ensure image quality and accurate image data under varying lighting conditions, cloud cover, or sea surface fluctuations. Furthermore, the camera incorporates a built-in gyroscope and GPS positioning system to record the precise location and time of capture, providing fundamental data for subsequent image analysis and processing.

[0032] In this embodiment, the mounting structure 2 is the main support frame of the satellite payload, and is designed with at least one first side panel 21 on its top. These side panels enclose a protective mounting space for installing and fixing the image acquisition device 1 and the intelligent module structure 3. In this embodiment, the mounting structure 2 also includes a shock-absorbing device, such as a spring shock absorber or a rubber pad, to reduce the impact of vibration or temperature changes on the camera and intelligent module device during the satellite's in-orbit operation, thereby ensuring stable operation of the equipment.

The intelligent module device 3 first pre-processes the image, such as denoising and contrast enhancement, and then uses a target detection algorithm, such as a deep learning model, to identify the target and track its motion trajectory. In addition, the intelligent module device can also predict the possible route of the ship based on historical data and current image analysis, providing key information for marine traffic management, environmental protection, or safety monitoring.
