Description

Portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of glass bead distribution in road markings Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of road marking detection technology, and in particular to a portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of glass bead distribution in road markings. Background Technology

[0002] In the transportation industry, road markings are extremely important. To ensure safe driving at night, a certain amount of glass beads needs to be added to road markings to improve their reflectivity. The quality, uniformity of glass bead distribution, and quantity of glass beads all have a significant impact on the reflectivity of road markings.

[0003] In existing technologies, the orthographic projection image of road markings needs to be acquired using a handheld imaging camera. However, the low stability of handheld imaging cameras results in low image quality, which is not conducive to subsequent detection of the uniformity of glass bead distribution.

[0004] Therefore, the need to develop a portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of glass bead distribution in road markings and to obtain stable data has become a critical technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of glass bead distribution in road markings. It aims to solve the problem that in the prior art, the orthographic projection image of road markings needs to be acquired by a handheld imaging camera. However, the handheld imaging camera has low stability, resulting in low image quality, which is not conducive to subsequent detection of the uniformity of glass bead distribution.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of glass bead distribution in road markings, comprising: a frame; an integrated circuit board mounted on the frame; an imaging camera mounted on the integrated circuit board, the frame having a through hole for the imaging camera to pass through; multiple mounting brackets disposed on the side of the frame away from the integrated circuit board; mounting feet rotatably mounted on the mounting brackets; a support strip, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the mounting feet, and the other end of which is movably disposed on the mounting bracket; and a locking element for locking the support strip.

[0007] In some embodiments, the locking element includes: a pin hole, wherein the mounting bracket and the support bar are both provided with pin holes; and a locking pin, which is adapted to the pin hole.

[0008] In some embodiments, the device further includes: a ring-shaped fill light, which is coaxially arranged with the imaging camera; and a connector, through which the ring-shaped fill light is mounted on the frame.

[0009] In some embodiments, the device further includes a control panel disposed on the rack and electrically connected to an integrated circuit board.

[0010] In some embodiments, the control panel is further included with a display screen.

[0011] In some embodiments, the device further includes: perforated holes, wherein a plurality of perforated holes are provided on the frame.

[0012] This application proposes a portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of glass bead distribution in road markings, comprising: a frame; an integrated circuit board mounted on the frame; an imaging camera mounted on the integrated circuit board, with a through hole in the frame for the imaging camera to pass through; multiple mounting brackets located on the side of the frame away from the integrated circuit board; mounting feet rotatably mounted on the mounting brackets; a support strip, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the mounting foot, and the other end of which is movably mounted on the mounting bracket; and a locking element for locking the support strip. During road marking detection, the mounting feet are rotated out of the mounting brackets, and the locking element locks the angle of the mounting feet relative to the mounting brackets, ensuring the mounting feet are perpendicular to the brackets. The imaging camera then acquires a projected image of the road markings, which is transmitted to the CPU and other integrated electrical components on the integrated circuit board. The projected image is processed to determine whether the uniformity of the glass bead distribution in the road markings meets design standards. After detection, the locking element can be removed, and the mounting feet can be rotated and folded back onto the mounting brackets for easy transport of the portable imaging device. Through the above steps, a stable orthographic projection image of the road marking can be obtained with high image quality. The orthographic projection image of the road marking can be used to determine whether the uniformity of the distribution of glass beads in the road marking meets the design standards. The design of the foldable mounting feet also helps to improve the portability of the portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of the distribution of glass beads in road marking.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, this application proposes a portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of glass bead distribution in road markings, comprising: a frame 1; an integrated circuit board 8 mounted on the frame 1; an imaging camera 13 disposed on the integrated circuit board 8, the frame 1 having a through hole for the imaging camera 13 to pass through; multiple mounting brackets 5 disposed on the side of the frame 1 away from the integrated circuit board 8; mounting feet 7 rotatably mounted on the mounting brackets 5; a support bar 6, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the mounting foot 7, and the other end of which is movably disposed on the mounting bracket 5; and a locking element for locking the support bar 6.

[0025] The frame 1 serves as the structural foundation of the portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of road marking glass bead distribution. All other structures on the portable imaging device are directly or indirectly connected to the frame 1. The integrated circuit board 8 is connected to the frame 1 via fasteners, preferably screws. After the integrated circuit board 8 is mounted on the frame 1, the imaging camera 13 on the integrated circuit board 8 passes through a through-hole in the frame 1 and partially extends out of the frame 1. The imaging camera 13 has an autofocus function and can acquire the orthographic projection image of the road markings. The integrated circuit board 8 also houses a CPU and other integrated electrical structures for processing the orthographic projection image of the road markings acquired by the imaging camera 13, obtaining the uniformity of the road marking glass bead distribution, and determining whether the uniformity of the road marking glass bead distribution meets the design standards. Mounting foot 7 is used to support frame 1. When it is necessary to obtain the orthographic projection image of road markings, the support bar 6 is locked by locking piece, thereby locking the angle of mounting foot 7 relative to mounting frame 5, so that mounting foot 7 is perpendicular to mounting frame 5. After the inspection is completed, the locking piece is removed, and mounting foot 7 is rotated and folded onto mounting frame 5, which facilitates the transportation of portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of distribution of glass beads in road markings.

[0026] Specifically, during road marking inspection, the mounting foot 7 is rotated off the mounting bracket 5, and the angle of the mounting foot 7 relative to the mounting bracket 5 is locked by a locking device, making the mounting foot 7 perpendicular to the mounting bracket 5. At this time, the imaging camera 13 acquires the orthographic projection image of the road marking and transmits it to the CPU and other integrated electrical structures on the integrated circuit board 8. The orthographic projection image of the road marking is processed to determine whether the uniformity of the distribution of glass beads in the road marking meets the design standards. After the inspection is completed, the locking device can be removed, and the mounting foot 7 can be rotated and folded back onto the mounting bracket 5 for easy transport of the portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of the distribution of glass beads in road markings. Through the above steps, the orthographic projection image of the road marking can be stably acquired with high image quality. The orthographic projection image of the road marking can be used to determine whether the uniformity of the distribution of glass beads in the road marking meets the design standards. The foldable design of the mounting foot 7 also improves the portability of the portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of the distribution of glass beads in road markings.

[0027] In detail, the imaging camera 13 can capture an image area of ​​1m² in a single shot. 2 After the imaging camera 13 acquires the orthographic projection image of the road markings, it needs to preprocess the orthographic projection image of the road markings to obtain a standard image of the road markings, and then acquire the image of the glass beads. The position of each glass bead on the standard image is obtained by using squared difference matching, correlation matching, or normalized correlation matching methods. Of course, other matching methods can also be used, which are not specifically limited here. After obtaining the position of each glass bead on the standard image, the uniformity of the glass bead distribution can be obtained by using the nearest neighbor distance method, thereby determining whether the uniformity of the glass bead distribution meets the design requirements.

[0028] Preferably, the mounting foot 7 is rotatably mounted to the mounting bracket 5 via the first pivot 10, and the support bar 6 is rotatably mounted to the mounting foot 7 via the second pivot 11.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, in some embodiments, the locking element includes a pin hole. Both the mounting bracket 5 and the support bar 6 are provided with pin holes. The mounting bracket 5 has a through pin hole, and the support bar 6 also has a through pin hole. When the mounting foot 7 rotates to be perpendicular to the mounting bracket 5, the pin hole on the support bar 6 aligns with the pin hole on the mounting bracket 5, locking pin 9, which is adapted to the pin hole. Inserting the locking pin 9 into the pin holes on the mounting bracket 5 and the support bar 6, and allowing it to extend beyond the mounting bracket 5, locks the angle between the mounting foot 7 and the mounting bracket 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, a pulley is installed at the end of the mounting foot 7 away from the frame 1 to facilitate continuous detection by the portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of road marking glass beads. When only random sampling is required, the pulley is not needed, thus reducing the production cost of the portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of road marking glass beads.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1, 4, and 5, in some embodiments, the system further includes: a ring-shaped supplementary light 12, which is coaxially arranged with the imaging camera 13; the ring-shaped supplementary light 12 is used for supplementary lighting to prevent the light from being too dim and affecting the uniformity detection structure; and a connector 14, through which the ring-shaped supplementary light 12 is mounted on the frame 1. The connector 14 is used to mount the ring-shaped supplementary light 12 onto the frame 1 and to ensure that the ring-shaped supplementary light 12 is coaxially arranged with the imaging camera 13.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 and 4, in some embodiments, the system further includes: a control panel 3, which is disposed on the frame 1 and electrically connected to some electrical components on the integrated circuit board 8. The control panel 3 controls electrical components such as the imaging camera 13 via buttons on the control panel 3, thereby controlling the detection process; and a display screen 4, which is disposed on the control panel 3 and also electrically connected to some electrical components on the integrated circuit board 8, for displaying the detection process and results.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 5, in some embodiments, the device further includes: perforated holes 2, with a plurality of perforated holes 2 provided on the frame 1. The perforated holes 2 help reduce the operating cost of the frame 1, and can also serve as force-bearing points, making it easier to lift the frame 1 and improving the portability of the portable imaging device for detecting the uniformity of distribution of glass beads in road markings.

[0034] The above description is only a part or preferred embodiment of this application. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings under the overall concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
