Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of light source devices, and in particular to a light source device for comprehensive performance testing of an event camera. Background Technology

[0002] As an emerging visual sensor, event cameras operate by asynchronously outputting "event streams" of pixel coordinates, timestamps, and polarities. Their core characteristics include microsecond-level latency, high dynamic range, and low power consumption. Because event camera responses are based on dynamic changes in scene brightness rather than static image intensity, they have a dynamic range of up to 140dB. However, verifying this metric requires providing continuous, controllable light intensity stimuli from extremely dark to extremely bright in a single test. Traditional light source devices have limited dynamic range and cannot cover such a wide range of illumination, resulting in segmented and coarse testing. This makes it impossible to accurately determine the lower limit of sensitivity, upper limit of overexposure, and signal-to-noise ratio and adaptive switching characteristics of event cameras under different base illumination. Therefore, traditional uniform and constant light sources based on static test cards are no longer suitable for evaluating the performance of event cameras. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a light source device for comprehensive performance testing of an event camera, including a dual-channel light board, a heat sink, a mounting plate, a light mixing plate, a diffuser plate, a middle frame, side plates, a front cover, a rear cover, and a switch. The dual-channel light boards are arranged in an array on the middle frame. The middle frame has a heat sink on the back of the dual-channel light boards, and the heat sink is fixedly connected to a mounting plate for connecting an external circuit board. Side plates are connected around the middle frame, and the middle frame is detachably connected to the front cover and the rear cover through the side plates. A light mixing plate is fixedly connected to the middle frame, and a diffuser plate is provided on the front cover. The light emitted by the dual-channel light boards passes through the light mixing plate and the diffuser plate in sequence to generate a light field. The side plates are provided with a switch for controlling the dual-channel light boards.

[0004] The above technical solution employs dual-channel LEDs, with one channel using a high-intensity range of 100-80,000 lux and the other channel using a low-intensity range of 0.1-100 lux. A mixing plate is used to mix LED light sources of different color temperatures, and a diffuser plate is used to transform the point light source of the dual-channel LEDs into a soft surface light source. The dual-channel LEDs diffuse and mix light through the mixing plate and diffuser plate, forming a Lambertian surface or a customized light field with a uniform illumination of greater than 95%. This provides the event camera with a highly consistent testing environment free of distortion and hot spots, eliminating the need for multi-source segmented testing methods, improving testing efficiency, and ensuring the accuracy of imaging and testing results.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that the middle frame has an inner folded surface, the heat sink is threaded to the middle frame through the inner folded surface, and the dual-channel lamp plate and the mounting plate are respectively threaded to the front and rear sides of the heat sink.

[0006] Furthermore, the heat sink is provided with threaded hole one, threaded hole two and threaded hole three, the inner folded surface one is provided with countersunk hole corresponding to threaded hole one, and the dual-channel lamp plate and mounting plate are provided with through hole one and through hole two corresponding to threaded hole two and threaded hole three.

[0007] Furthermore, the dual-channel lamp board is provided with a wiring terminal, and the heat sink is provided with an opening slot corresponding to the wiring terminal.

[0008] Furthermore, heat dissipation fins are provided on the back of the heat sink.

[0009] Using the above technical solution, the middle frame, side panels, front cover and rear cover are all integrally bent sheet metal parts and combined to form a metal shell structure. The dual-channel lamp panel is distributed in an array at the middle frame through the heat sink. The heat sink increases the heat dissipation area through heat dissipation fins, and the heat sink is connected to the external metal shell through the middle frame to improve the overall heat dissipation effect of the light source device.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the middle frame includes a white frame and a light-shielding frame, the white frame has an outwardly turned surface one and an outwardly turned surface two, the outer side of the light-shielding frame has an outwardly turned surface three corresponding to the outwardly turned surface two, the light-shielding frame is threaded to the white frame through the outwardly turned surface two, the light mixing plate is snapped between the white frame and the light-shielding frame, the diffuser plate is snapped between the front cover and the white frame, the inner side of the light-shielding frame has the inner folded surface one, and the light-emitting surface of the dual-channel lamp panel faces the direction of the white frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the side plate is provided with an inner folded surface two corresponding to the outer folded surface one, and the side plate is fixedly connected to the white frame through the outer folded surface one.

[0012] Furthermore, the first and second outward-facing surfaces are provided with rivet nuts.

[0013] Using the above technical solution, the light-shielding frame is used to prevent light leakage from the dual-channel lamp panel light source. The white frame is placed between the mixing plate and the diffuser plate, and the surface of the white frame is coated with a high reflectivity coating to form a rectangular cavity with high reflectivity on all sides, which is conducive to the mixing and emission of light sources.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the side plate has stepped surfaces on both sides, the front cover and the rear cover are snapped onto the side plate through the stepped surfaces, and the stepped surfaces are provided with threaded holes for fixing the front cover and the rear cover.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the side plate is formed into a stepped surface by integral bending, and the height of the stepped surface is the same as the thickness of the front cover or the rear cover. This makes the side plate form a regular rectangular frame structure after installation with the front cover or the rear cover, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the light source device.
