In order to make the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application better understood and make the above objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more comprehensible, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of a method for removing water mist according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein the method for removing water mist can be applied to a video capture device in a water mist prevention system, the water mist prevention system can further include an electromagnetic wave emitter, as shown in fig. 1, the method for removing water mist can include the following steps:
it should be noted that, the sequence numbers of the steps in the embodiments of the present application do not mean the execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by the function and the inherent logic of the process, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
And S100, video data are collected by video collection equipment.
In the embodiment of the present application, the waterproof defogging system may include, but is not limited to, an on-vehicle waterproof defogging system for preventing and defogging a window glass (e.g., a windshield) or a waterproof defogging system deployed in a monitoring front-end device (e.g., an IPC (Internet Protocol Camera)) for preventing and defogging an outside lens of the monitoring front-end device.
For an exemplary vehicle-mounted waterproof defogging system, the video capture device may be a vehicle event recorder, or other vehicle-mounted camera; for a waterproof defogging system deployed in a monitoring front-end device, the video acquisition device may be the monitoring front-end device
And step S110, when the video acquisition equipment determines that the target object needs to be subjected to water mist removal treatment based on the acquired video data, controlling the electromagnetic wave emitter to emit electromagnetic waves to the target object so as to remove water mist on the surface of the target object.
In the embodiment of the present application, the target object may include, but is not limited to, a window glass (for an in-vehicle waterproof defogging system) or an outer lens of a monitoring front-end device.
The video acquisition equipment can determine whether the target object needs to be subjected to water mist removal treatment or not based on the acquired video data.
For example, considering that the defogging process is usually performed only when the outer surface of the target object is attached with water drops or the inner surface of the target object is attached with water fog, and the target object in the video frame is relatively blurred (i.e., the degree of blurring is relatively high) when the outer surface of the target object is attached with water drops or the inner surface of the target object is attached with water fog, the video capture device may determine whether the target object needs to perform the defogging process (including the water drops or/and fog on the inner and outer surfaces of the target object) based on the degree of blurring of the target object in the video data.
In one example, the video capture device determining that the target object needs to be defogged based on the video data may include:
the video acquisition equipment determines the fuzzy degree of a target object based on the acquired video data;
when the fuzzy degree of the target object is higher than a first preset threshold value, the video acquisition equipment determines that water mist removal treatment is required.
For example, the video capture device may determine a blur degree of the target object based on the captured video data, and when the blur degree of the target object is higher than a preset threshold (which may be set according to an actual scene and is referred to herein as a first preset threshold), the video capture device determines that the defogging process needs to be performed on the target object.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, it is not limited to determining whether or not the water mist removal processing needs to be performed based on the degree of blurring of the target object. For example, whether the water fog removal treatment is needed or not can be determined by detecting whether water fog exists in the designated area or not based on the collected video data.
For example, taking the waterproof demisting for the windshield of the vehicle as an example, a designated area in the video capture screen (the designated area may be a front windshield area where the driver observes traffic conditions ahead during driving) may be determined in advance, and whether water mist exists in the designated area may be determined based on the captured video data. If so, determining that water mist removal treatment is required; otherwise, determining that the water mist removing treatment is not needed.
In this case, when the water mist removing process is performed, the water mist removing process may be performed for the predetermined area.
In the embodiment of the application, when the video acquisition equipment determines that the target object needs to be subjected to water mist removal treatment based on the acquired video data, the video acquisition equipment can control the electromagnetic wave emitter to emit electromagnetic waves to the target object, and the water mist vibrates through the electromagnetic waves, so that water drops attached to the outer surface of the target object and the mist attached to the inner surface of the target object are separated from the surface of the target object, and the effect of removing the water mist from the target object is achieved.
Therefore, in the method flow shown in fig. 1, the electromagnetic wave is emitted to the target object, and the water mist on the surface of the target object is vibrated by the electromagnetic wave, so that the water mist of the target object is removed, the defogging efficiency is improved, and the defogging effect is optimized by defogging the inner and outer surfaces of the target object.
As a possible embodiment, in step S110, the controlling, by the video capture device, the electromagnetic wave emitter to emit the electromagnetic wave to the target object may include:
the video acquisition equipment controls the electromagnetic wave emitter to emit electromagnetic waves to the target object, and adjusts the emission frequency of the electromagnetic wave emitter based on the reduction value of the fuzzy degree of the target object in the preset unit time until the reduction value of the fuzzy degree of the target object in the preset unit time reaches a second preset threshold when the electromagnetic wave emitter emits the electromagnetic waves based on the adjusted emission frequency;
when the fuzzy degree of the target object is lower than a third preset threshold value, the video acquisition equipment controls the electromagnetic wave emitter to stop emitting the electromagnetic waves, and the third preset threshold value is smaller than the first preset threshold value.
Illustratively, it is considered that when the electromagnetic wave reaches resonance with the mist on the surface of the target object, the mist indicated by the target object usually rapidly falls off the surface of the target object, and further, the degree of blur of the target object decreases relatively rapidly (the rate of decrease of the degree of blur can be represented by the decrease value of the degree of blur per unit time).
Accordingly, it may be determined whether the electromagnetic wave is brought into resonance with the mist of the target object based on a decrease value of the degree of blur of the target object in a preset unit time (which may be set according to an actual scene), and when the resonance is not reached, the transmission frequency of the electromagnetic wave transmitter may be adjusted until the decrease value of the degree of blur of the target object in the preset unit time reaches a preset threshold (referred to as a second preset threshold herein), it may be determined that the electromagnetic wave is brought into resonance with the mist of the target object, and at this time, the electromagnetic wave transmitter may be controlled to transmit the electromagnetic wave to the target object based on the transmission frequency, and the mist of the target object surface may be rapidly removed using the resonance of the electromagnetic wave with the mist of the target object surface.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the transmission frequency of the electromagnetic wave transmitter may also be adjusted based on the collected video data, and the vibration state (vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, and the like) of the water mist after the electromagnetic wave is transmitted to the target object. Since the water mist reaches the most intense vibration level when the electromagnetic wave and the water mist resonate, the emission frequency of the electromagnetic wave can be set as an initial value, the emission frequency can be gradually increased (or decreased), the vibration state change condition of the water mist can be analyzed, the emission frequency which enables the water mist to reach the most intense vibration level can be found, and the electromagnetic wave emission can be carried out based on the emission frequency.
In one example, the video capture device controlling an electromagnetic wave transmitter to transmit an electromagnetic wave to a target object may include:
the video acquisition equipment controls the electromagnetic wave emitter to respectively emit electromagnetic waves to different areas of the target object;
for any region, the video acquisition equipment adjusts the transmitting frequency of the electromagnetic wave transmitter based on the decrease value of the fuzzy degree of the region in the preset unit time until the decrease value of the fuzzy degree of the region in the preset unit time reaches a second preset threshold when the electromagnetic wave transmitter transmits the electromagnetic wave based on the adjusted transmitting frequency.
For example, considering that the water mist attachment conditions may be different (such as different mist thicknesses and different water droplet sizes) in different areas of the target object, when the water mist removal is implemented through resonance between the electromagnetic wave and the water mist, the frequency of the emitted electromagnetic wave may be different when the water mist removal is performed on different areas of the target object.
Correspondingly, the video acquisition equipment can control the electromagnetic wave emitter to respectively emit electromagnetic waves to different areas of the target object, namely the video acquisition equipment can control the electromagnetic wave emitting direction and the size of the electromagnetic wave emitter to realize fixed-point quantitative emission.
For any region, the video acquisition equipment can determine whether the electromagnetic wave is in resonance with the water mist on the surface of the target object or not based on the reduction value of the fuzzy degree of the region in the preset unit time, and when the resonance is not reached, the transmission frequency of the electromagnetic wave transmitter is adjusted until the reduction value of the fuzzy degree of the region in the preset unit time reaches a second preset threshold value, the electromagnetic wave is determined to be in resonance with the water mist of the region, at the moment, the electromagnetic wave transmitter is controlled to transmit the electromagnetic wave to the region based on the transmission frequency, and the resonance of the electromagnetic wave and the water mist on the surface of the target object is utilized to quickly remove the water mist of the region.
For example, when the video capture device determines that the degree of blur of the target object is lower than a preset threshold (which may be set according to an actual scene and referred to herein as a third preset threshold), the electromagnetic wave emitter may be controlled to stop emitting electromagnetic waves, and the round of water mist removal for the target object is ended.
When water mist removal is performed in different regions, after the water mist removal of any region is completed according to the above manner, the video acquisition equipment can control the electromagnetic wave emitter to emit electromagnetic waves to other rest regions until the water mist removal is completed in each region, and the water mist removal for the target object in the round is completed.
As a possible embodiment, the waterproof defogging system in the embodiment of the present application may further include a controller, a power supply, positive and negative electrode plates, an upper shield and a lower shield, where the positive and negative electrode plates are respectively located at upper and lower sides of an outer surface of the target object, and are respectively located in the upper shield and the lower shield, and are respectively connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the power supply, and the outer surface of the target object is covered with a conductive coating, and the conductive coating is connected to the positive electrode or the negative electrode;
the above-mentioned water mist removing method may further include:
when the video acquisition equipment determines that the video acquisition equipment is in a rainy state currently based on the acquired video data, a control signal is sent to the controller, so that the controller controls the power supply to respectively supply power to the positive and negative electrode plates based on the control signal, and the positive and negative electrode plates form an electric field on the outer side of the outer surface of the target object.
Illustratively, it is contemplated that obtaining information through a target object may be affected when in a raining state.
For example, when the target object is a windshield, rain adheres to the windshield and seriously affects the driver's sight line in the case of rain.
For another example, taking a target object as an outer lens of the monitoring front-end device as an example, when raining, rainwater attached to the outer lens may affect the definition of an actual scene object in a video captured by the monitoring front-end device.
At present, in the windshield, the waterproof measure in the rainy state is to remove water drops attached to the outer surface of the windshield by the wiper blade, but the wiper blade is easy to block the sight of a driver and distract the driver when in operation.
For monitoring front-end equipment, under the raining state, an effective way for removing water drops attached to an outer lens is not available at present.
In the embodiment of the application, the cloud layers are considered to generate charges when being rubbed, and some of the cloud layers are positively charged, some of the cloud layers are negatively charged, and some of the cloud layers are neutralized. However, due to the flow of air, the electric charge is not neutralized by a hundred percent, there are places with more negative electric charges and places with more positive electric charges, so that the rainwater generally has electric charges (partially positive electric charges and partially negative electric charges) when falling on the outer surface of the target object.
Correspondingly, the positive and negative electrode plates can be arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the outer surface of the target object, when the target object is in a rainy state, power is respectively supplied to the positive and negative electrode plates through the power supply, and an electric field is formed on the outer surface of the target object through the positive and negative electrode plates, so that rainwater falling to the outer surface of the target object moves upwards or downwards under the action of the electric field force, the rainwater is prevented from being attached to the outer surface of the target object, and the waterproof effect on the target.
In addition, considering that the neutral water drops may be formed by neutralizing positive and negative charges during the falling of the charged rainwater, in order to prevent the neutral water drops from attaching to the outer surface of the target object, a conductive coating may be coated on the outer surface of the target object, and the conductive coating may be connected to a positive electrode or a negative electrode of a power supply, so that, when the power supply starts supplying power, the conductive coating may charge the water drops which fall on the outer surface of the target object with positive charges (the conductive coating is connected to the positive electrode of the power supply) or negative charges (the conductive coating is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply), and further, the water drops may move upward or downward under the action of an electric field force, so that the water drops may.
For example, in order to enhance the safety of the waterproof function, the positive and negative electrode plates may be disposed in a protective cover to prevent electric leakage.
The shield may also be insulated from the electrically conductive part of the target object (for windshields, a metallic material part of the vehicle) by an insulating material to avoid electrical leakage.
The conductive coating on the outer surface of the target object is isolated from the conductive part of the target object by an insulating material so as to avoid electric leakage.
In one example, the above-mentioned waterproof defogging system may further include an upper water storage tank and a lower water storage tank, the upper water storage tank is located below the upper shield, the lower water storage tank is located above the lower shield, and the neutralizing power generation device is connected with the upper water storage tank and the lower water storage tank through wires respectively.
Exemplarily, in order to make full use of the electric charge carried by the rainwater, a water storage tank can be arranged between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate in the waterproof demisting system, the water storage tank comprises an upper water storage tank below the upper protective cover and a lower water storage tank above the lower protective cover, and charged water drops can move upwards or downwards under the action of an electric field force to enter the corresponding water storage tank.
The upper and lower water storage tanks can be respectively connected with the neutralizing power generation equipment through leads, and the electric charges carried by water drops entering the upper and lower water storage tanks enter the neutralizing power generation equipment through leads to perform neutralizing power generation.
The neutralization power generation device can charge the power supply by neutralizing positive and negative charges to generate power.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, for the water droplets entering the water storage tank, the water droplets may be drained to the outside of the two sides of the target object by setting a drainage measure.
For example, for the lower water storage tank, the bottom of the lower water storage tank can be set to be high in the middle and low on two sides, or one side of the lower water storage tank is high and one side of the lower water storage tank is low, so that water drops can flow to the lower two sides or one side of the lower water storage tank after entering the lower water storage tank, and drainage of the water drops out of the two sides of the target object is achieved.
For the upper water storage tank, a rainwater collector can be arranged on one side or two sides of the upper water storage tank, and a negative pressure is formed by adopting an air extractor, so that water drops entering the upper water storage tank flow to one side or two sides under the action of the negative pressure, and the water drops are guided out of two sides of a target object.
In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to specific examples.
In this embodiment, a description will be given taking an example of performing a water-proof defogging process on a windshield of a vehicle, that is, a target object is the windshield.
Fig. 2A is a schematic structural diagram of a part for implementing a water mist removing function in a water-proof defogging system according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a video capture device is a tachograph, and an electromagnetic wave emitter includes a frequency regulator, a high-frequency oscillator, and an electric coil, as shown in fig. 2A.
In this embodiment, the automobile data recorder can shoot the window glass image and has the function of image analysis and recognition.
When rainwater adheres to the outer surface of a windshield (glass for short) or condensed water vapor on the inner surface of the glass forms water mist to obscure the sight, the automobile window glass image shot by the automobile data recorder has higher blurring degree.
At this time, the automobile data recorder can send a signal to the frequency regulator, the frequency regulator is triggered to send a frequency regulating signal to the high-frequency oscillator, and the high-frequency oscillator controls the electric coil to generate a high-frequency changing current to form electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic wave drives the water mist on the glass to vibrate, and when the frequency of the electromagnetic wave reaches the resonance frequency of the water mist, the water mist can vibrate violently.
Exemplarily, can judge the vibrations amplitude change of rainwater through the intelligent analysis function of driving record appearance, judge whether reached resonance frequency to control frequency regulator makes the frequency of electromagnetic wave reach the resonance frequency of rainwater, and the rainwater takes place strong vibrations, and then breaks away from the glass surface, volatilizes in the air, at the water droplet of windshield surface adhesion, also can acutely vibrate, under the effect of driving air current, can be blown away from the glass surface.
The automobile data recorder adjusts the frequency regulator to send out electromagnetic waves with different frequencies by analyzing the water mist removing effect on the glass, so that the frequency of the electromagnetic waves is close to the resonance frequency of the water mist. The automobile data recorder can automatically analyze and adjust the emission frequency of electromagnetic waves, so that the intelligent and quick demisting function is achieved.
Illustratively, the electromagnetic wave transmitter is installed below vehicle event data recorder, is controlled by the cloud platform and rotates, and vehicle event data recorder can control the cloud platform and rotate, adjusts the emission direction of electromagnetic wave, controls the size of electromagnetic wave beam, realizes fixed point ration transmission.
Because the emission direction is towards the car window glass directional sky, and the electromagnetic wave has very strong penetrability to glass, consequently, the electromagnetic wave can pass glass, is absorbed by the rainwater, and the electromagnetic wave of transmission also can give out sky, can not cause the injury to the human body.
As shown in fig. 2B and 2C, for a structural schematic view of a part for implementing a waterproof function in the waterproof defogging system provided by the embodiment of the present application (fig. 2B is a schematic view from the front, and fig. 2C is a schematic view from the side), as shown in fig. 2B and 2C, in this embodiment, the part for implementing a waterproof function in the waterproof defogging system may include upper and lower positive and negative electrode plates, upper and lower shields, upper and lower water storage tanks, an integrated power generation device, and a power supply.
The positive electrode plate, the upper protective cover and the upper water storage tank are arranged on the upper side of the outer surface of the windshield of the automobile. The positive electrode plate is arranged in the upper protective cover to avoid electric leakage, and is connected with the power supply through a lead, and the upper water storage tank is arranged below the upper protective cover.
The negative electrode plate, the lower water storage tank and the lower protective cover are arranged below the windshield. The negative electrode plate is arranged in the lower protective cover to avoid electric leakage and is connected with the outside through a lead, and the lower water storage tank is arranged above the lower protective cover.
The positive pole of the power supply is connected with the positive electrode plate, the negative pole of the power supply is connected with the negative electrode plate, and when the power supply supplies power to the positive and negative electrode plates, the positive and negative electrode plates form an electric field above the outer surface of the windshield.
The upper and lower protective covers and the metal material of the automobile are isolated by insulating materials, so that electric leakage is avoided.
When the automobile data recorder detects that the automobile data recorder is in a raining state at present, a signal can be sent to the controller, and the controller starts an electric field system of the windshield.
After the electric field is formed, in the natural environment, rainwater has positive charges, negative charges and neutrality. After entering an electric field, water drops with positive charges move downwards under the action of the electric field force and enter a lower water storage tank; the water drops with negative charges move upwards under the action of the electric field force and enter the upper water storage tank.
For example, the electric field strength can be adjusted according to the actual application condition, so that the water drops with negative charges can move upwards to enter the upper water storage tank.
For example, schematic views of the lower and upper reservoirs may be as shown in fig. 2D and 2E, respectively. Wherein:
as shown in fig. 2D, the upper and lower planes (i.e. the plane ABCD and the plane EFGH) of the lower reservoir are perpendicular to the direction of the electric field (or have a smaller included angle, such as an included angle of 5-10 °), and the upper plane is designed with an opening (the size of the opening is smaller than or equal to the size of the upper plane, and the size of the opening is the same as that of the upper plane in the figure), so that the positively charged water droplets move downward under the action of the electric field force and enter the lower reservoir through the opening of the upper plane of the lower reservoir.
As shown in fig. 2E, the upper and lower planes (i.e. the plane IJKL and the plane MNOP) of the upper reservoir are perpendicular to the direction of the electric field (or have a smaller included angle, e.g. an included angle of 5 ° to 10 °), and the lower plane is designed with an opening (the size of the opening is smaller than or equal to that of the lower plane, taking the size of the opening and the size of the lower plane as an example in the figure), and the water drops with negative charges move upwards under the action of the electric field force and enter the upper reservoir through the opening of the lower plane of the upper reservoir.
Wherein, the upper and lower water storage tanks are designed by adopting insulating materials.
Optionally, for the lower water storage tank, the bottom of the lower water storage tank can be set to be high in the middle and low on two sides, or one side of the lower water storage tank is high on one side, so that after the water drops enter the lower water storage tank, the water drops can flow to the lower two sides or one side of the lower water storage tank, and the water drops are guided out of the two sides of the target object.
For the upper water storage tank, a rainwater collector can be arranged on one side or two sides of the upper water storage tank, and a negative pressure is formed by adopting an air extractor, so that water drops entering the upper water storage tank flow to one side or two sides under the action of the negative pressure, and the water drops are guided out of two sides of a target object.
In the embodiment, the surface of the vehicle window glass can be coated with a transparent conductive coating, the conductive coating is connected with the positive pole of the power supply and is not connected with the negative pole, and the conductive coating and the vehicle are isolated by an insulating material to avoid electric leakage.
When the neutral water drops fall on the conductive coating of the car window glass, positive charges on the coating can be transferred to the water drops, the water drops carry the positive charges, move downwards under the action of the electric field force and enter the lower water storage tank.
The charges in the upper and lower water storage tanks enter the neutralization power generation equipment through the conducting wires to carry out neutralization power generation so as to charge the power supply. The water or excess water after neutralization is directly drained.
The methods provided herein are described above. The following describes the apparatus provided in the present application:
