Type includes but is not limited to track in (zoom in), draws in camera lens (zoom out), adjustment focal length, adjustment aperture etc..
Wherein, user can send the telecommand to the panoramic camera 1 by a mobile terminal 2, to control
The camera lens 21 executes corresponding operation.The mobile terminal 2 can be a remote controler, a smart phone or a tablet computer
Deng.The casing 10 is equipped with a wireless communication interface 40, and the wireless communication interface 40 is sent out for receiving the mobile terminal 2
The telecommand sent.The telecommand includes that at least one camera lens 21 to be controlled and the camera lens 21 to be controlled execute
The type of operation.The quantity of camera lens 21 to be controlled can be one, be also possible to two or more.
A controller 50 is additionally provided in the casing 10, the controller 50 electrically connects with the wireless communication interface 40
It connects.The controller 50 controls corresponding camera lens 21 according to parsing result and executes the behaviour for parsing the telecommand
Make.That is, if mobile terminal 2 described in pressable is corresponding when user wants to control the adjustment focal length of camera lens 21 in former and later two directions
Key is to send the telecommand.In this way, the camera lens 21 that the controller 50 can control former and later two directions adjusts coke
Away from.
Wherein, when the type of the operation is track in or draws in camera lens, if the quantity of camera lens 21 to be controlled is small
When the total quantity of the camera lens 21, described image processor 30 can be directly by the image of the camera lens 21 to be controlled and other mirrors
First 21 image is sutured to form panoramic picture.That is, described image processor 30 is not required to adjustment institute before being sutured
State the size of the image of camera lens 21 to be controlled.
When the camera lens 21 is in manual mode, the camera lens 21 can also be further by manually controlling, that is, the mirror
First 21 propulsion, zoom out, zoom etc. can be realized by manually controlling.Specifically, several machinery can be equipped on the casing 10
Key, user can not manipulate the panoramic camera 1 by the mobile terminal 2, but by pressing specific mechanical key
Specific operation is executed to control the panoramic camera 1.
Certainly, the camera lens 21 can also further pass through voice control, this is not repeated.
In the present embodiment, each camera lens 21 can also an external fish-eye lens to increase its field angle.Each camera lens 21
Resolution ratio be 7680 × 4320 (90-120p), zoom magnification can be 14,22,40,76,101 times.
The material of the casing 10 can be the higher metals of thermal coefficients such as aluminium or copper, in favor of improving heat dissipation effect.Institute
Cooling fin (such as graphene) can be also pasted with by stating on casing 10, to further increase heat dissipation effect.
In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the still connection power supply line 200 of lens unit 20, the power supply line 200 are remote
The casing 10 is stretched out in end from the lens unit 20.The end of each power supply line 200 is equipped with a USB interface 201,
Each USB interface 201 is for connecting a battery 60.The battery 60 is used in the panoramic camera 1 work, to described complete
Scape video camera 1 provides electric energy.In the present embodiment, the power supply line 200 of different lens units 20 mutually winding is twined with forming one
Around structure 202.Since the battery 60 is set to the outside of the casing 10, consequently facilitating the disassembly or replacement of battery.More
Body, the battery 60 can be rechargeable battery.In another embodiment, a solar battery is fixed on the casing 10
Plate 70, the solar panel 70, then will be described for absorbing sunlight and the sunlight absorbed being converted to electric energy
Power output is to the battery 60 to charge to the battery 60.
In above-described embodiment, each lens unit 20 respectively has a battery 60, alternatively, different lens units 20 is total
With a battery 60.
The camera lens 21 can switch between a general mode and a night vision mode.Specifically, the camera lens 21 is equipped with
One infrared fileter.When the camera lens 21 is in general mode, the optical filter is opened to stop infrared ray or far infrared
Into described image sensor 22, that is, imaging sensor 22 can only sense visible light.Night vision mode is in the camera lens 21
When, the infrared fileter stops working, so that infrared ray or far infrared can enter described image sensor 22 and be imaged.
Connect a foot prop 80 below the casing 10, the foot prop 80 is used to support the casing 10, and can by adjustment
The height of the casing 10.The foot prop 80 is equipped with rotating mechanism (such as wheel shaft, hubbing structure or ball bearing, not shown),
To make the foot prop 80 that can relatively rotate.In another embodiment, which can be made of an electrically conducting material, thus will be described
The heat derives that the elements such as lens unit 20, image processor 40 or controller 50 generate are to realize heat dissipation.Alternatively, the foot prop 80
Inside has heat conducting pipe, e.g., have conductive fluid inside the heat conducting pipe, will because the lens unit 20, image processor 40 or
The heat derives that the equal elements of controller 50 generate are to realize heat dissipation.
Referring to Fig. 3, a better embodiment of the invention also provides a kind of control method of above-mentioned panoramic camera 1,
Include the following steps:
Step S1: start the panoramic camera 1 to control the panoramic camera 1 into remote control mode.
Step S2: at least one camera lens 21 to be controlled is selected by a mobile terminal 2.
Step S3: the type for the operation that the camera lens 21 to be controlled executes is selected by the mobile terminal 2, to touch
It sends out mobile terminal 2 described and generates a telecommand and send the telecommand to the panoramic camera 1.Wherein, described distant
Control instruction includes the type of selected camera lens 21 and selected operation to be controlled.
Step S4: the controller 50 obtains the telecommand by the wireless communication interface 40, parses described distant
Control instruction, and corresponding camera lens 21 is controlled according to parsing result and executes the operation.
Certainly, according to different demands, the sequence of above-mentioned steps be can change, and certain steps can be omitted or merge.For example,
The selected sequence of the type operated in the selected and step S3 of camera lens 21 to be controlled in step S2 can overturn.
Since the panoramic camera 1 is after receiving telecommand, camera lens 21 to be controlled may make to execute accordingly
Operation, thus avoid manually controlling in some occasions there is a problem of it is inconvenient, it is time saving and energy saving, be conducive to improve user experience.
It is understood that for those of ordinary skill in the art, can do in accordance with the technical idea of the present invention
Various other changes and modifications out, and all these changes and deformation all should belong to the protection model of the claims in the present invention
It encloses.
