In the present embodiment, the obstacle 900 is exemplified by an elongated utility pole. The radiation detecting device comprises a laser emitting unit 1, an image capturing unit 2, and a processing unit 3.

該雷射發射單元1包括一個雷射發射模組11。該雷射發射模組11位於一個發射高度K1,並可向一個與一平面相夾一個投射角度δ的投射方向傾斜投射出一束雷射光。該雷射光沿一個扇形的行進軌跡投射(圖1的角度觀看為扇形),並於該障礙物900表面投射形成一條呈水平直線的投射標記P。實施上,可利用雷射光源投射至一個圓柱形的透鏡,來折射出沿該扇形軌跡行進的雷射光,但不以上述方式為限。The laser emitting unit 1 includes a laser emitting module 11. The laser emitting module 11 is located at an emission height K1 and can obliquely project a laser beam to a projection direction of a projection angle δ with a plane. The laser light is projected along a trajectory of a sector (the angle of FIG. 1 is a fan shape), and is projected on the surface of the obstacle 900 to form a horizontally-lined projection mark P. In practice, a laser source can be used to project a cylindrical lens to refract laser light traveling along the sector track, but not limited to the above.

該影像擷取單元2位於一個拍攝高度K2,並可拍攝擷取該等投射標記P於該障礙物900表面所構成的影像,而輸出一個投射影像,定義一個該影像擷取單元2之可視範圍與地面之交界處為一個基準位置E,也就是說,該基準位置E是位於該投射影像的底邊,假設該障礙物900會於基準位置E形成一個虛擬物。實施上,也可定義一個該影像擷取單元2之可視範圍與任一平面之交界處為該基準位置E,使得該基準位置E為該投射影像中的一條水平線,不以本實施例為限。實施上,該影像擷取單元2可為感光耦合元件(Charge-coupled Device,CCD),或為互補式金氧半導體(Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor,CMOS)類型的影像感測器,由於CCD與CMOS已為習知技術,故在此不再詳述。The image capturing unit 2 is located at a shooting height K2, and can capture an image formed by capturing the projection marks P on the surface of the obstacle 900, and output a projection image to define a visible range of the image capturing unit 2. The boundary with the ground is a reference position E, that is, the reference position E is located at the bottom edge of the projected image, assuming that the obstacle 900 will form a virtual object at the reference position E. In practice, it is also possible to define a boundary between the visible range of the image capturing unit 2 and any plane as the reference position E, such that the reference position E is a horizontal line in the projected image, not limited to this embodiment. . In practice, the image capturing unit 2 can be a Charge-coupled Device (CCD) or a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) type image sensor, due to the CCD and CMOS is a well-known technique and will not be described in detail herein.

該處理單元3訊號連接該影像擷取單元2與該雷射發射單元1,並包括一個影像分析模組31、一個基距量測模組32、一個像物比分析模組33、一個偏距量測模組34、一個距離分析模組35、一個影像寬度量測模組36,及一個寬度分析模組37。The processing unit 3 is connected to the image capturing unit 2 and the laser emitting unit 1 and includes an image analyzing module 31, a base distance measuring module 32, an image ratio analyzing module 33, and an offset The measurement module 34, a distance analysis module 35, an image width measurement module 36, and a width analysis module 37.

該影像分析模組31可透過影像分析技術自該投射影像中辨識出該投射標記P,例如透過影像二值化來進行邊緣偵測,以截取出該投射影像中的該投射標記P,但實施上亦可使用其他影像辨識技術,由於類型眾多,故在此不再詳述。The image analysis module 31 can recognize the projection mark P from the projected image through image analysis technology, for example, performing edge detection through image binarization to intercept the projection mark P in the projected image, but implementing Other image recognition techniques can also be used, and since there are many types, they will not be described in detail here.

該基距量測模組32可從該影像擷取單元2拍攝該雷射發射單元1於地面的一個參考位置R投射出一個參考標記R’所構成的一個參考投射影像中,量測該參考標記R’與該參考投射影像之側邊間的影像距離,而輸出一個參考基距(見圖6)。該基距量測模組32會以像素作為影像距離的單位,因此該參考基距L0(見圖6)代表該參考投射影像之側邊間之垂直方向的像素數量。The base distance measurement module 32 can capture the reference projection image formed by the laser light extraction unit 1 and project a reference mark R′ from a reference position R on the ground, and measure the reference. The image distance between the mark R' and the side of the reference projected image is output, and a reference base distance is output (see Fig. 6). The base distance measurement module 32 uses the pixel as the unit of the image distance, so the reference base distance L0 (see FIG. 6) represents the number of pixels in the vertical direction between the sides of the reference projected image.

該像物比分析模組33可根據該參考基距L0(見圖6)分析出一個單位像物比。由於該參考位置R與該雷射探測裝置之間的距離、該參考位置R與該基準位置E之間的距離、該拍攝高度K2,以及該參考基距L0(見圖6)皆為已知,故可透過三角函數計算出該單位像物比。The image ratio analysis module 33 can analyze a unit image ratio according to the reference base distance L0 (see FIG. 6). Due to the distance between the reference position R and the laser detecting device, the distance between the reference position R and the reference position E, the shooting height K2, and the reference base distance L0 (see FIG. 6) are known Therefore, the unit image ratio can be calculated by a trigonometric function.

該偏距量測模組34會於該投射影像中測量該投射標記P與該參考標記R’之間的影像距離,而輸出一個影像偏距L1(見圖4)。在本實施例中,該投射影像中的該投射標記P與該參考標記R’皆為水平直線,該偏距量測模組34會以像素作為影像距離的單位,因此該影像偏距L1(見圖4)代表該投射標記P與該參考標記R’彼此之間垂直間隔的像素數量。The offset measurement module 34 measures the image distance between the projection mark P and the reference mark R' in the projected image, and outputs an image offset L1 (see FIG. 4). In this embodiment, the projection mark P and the reference mark R′ in the projected image are both horizontal lines, and the offset measurement module 34 uses the pixel as the unit of the image distance, so the image offset L1 ( See Fig. 4) to represent the number of pixels in which the projection mark P and the reference mark R' are vertically spaced from each other.

該距離分析模組35內建有一個物距轉換函數,在本實施例中,該物距轉換函數可透過該發射高度K1、該拍攝高度K2、該投射角度δ等已知參數經過三角函數分析計算所得到,當然實施上亦可透過統計分析數據的方式建立數學模型來得到,不以本實施例為限。該距離分析模組35會將該偏距量測模組34所量測之影像偏距L1(見圖4)作為變數帶入該物距轉換函數,而計算得到一個實際物距D。本實施例在分析計算時,是透過自動光學檢查(Automated OAtical InsAection, AOI)技術來進行分析。The distance analysis module 35 has an object distance conversion function. In the embodiment, the object distance conversion function can analyze the known parameters such as the emission height K1, the shooting height K2, and the projection angle δ through a trigonometric function. The calculation can be obtained, of course, the mathematical model can also be obtained by statistically analyzing the data, which is not limited to the embodiment. The distance analysis module 35 takes the image offset L1 (see FIG. 4) measured by the offset measurement module 34 as a variable into the object distance conversion function, and calculates a physical object distance D. In the embodiment, the analysis is performed by an Automated OAtical Insection (AOI) technique.

該影像寬度量測模組36會於該投射影像中測量該投射標記P的水平寬度,而輸出一個影像寬度。該影像寬度量測模組36會以像素作為影像距離的單位,因此該影像寬度代表該投射標記P之水平方向的像素數量。The image width measuring module 36 measures the horizontal width of the projection mark P in the projected image, and outputs an image width. The image width measurement module 36 uses pixels as a unit of image distance, and thus the image width represents the number of pixels in the horizontal direction of the projection mark P.

該寬度分析模組37內建有該單位像物比,該單位像物比為該投射影像中每一個像素代表之位於該基準位置E之物體的實際長度,該寬度分析模組37會根據該影像寬度與該單位像物比分析計算出位於該基準位置E之該虛擬物的一個虛擬寬度,再根據該距離分析模組35所分析出之實際物距D,透過三角函數來計算得到一個該障礙物900的實際寬度。The width analysis module 37 has the unit image ratio built in, the unit image ratio is the actual length of the object represented by each pixel in the projected image at the reference position E, and the width analysis module 37 according to the The image width and the unit image ratio analysis calculate a virtual width of the virtual object located at the reference position E, and then calculate a physical object distance D according to the distance analysis module 35, and calculate a The actual width of the obstacle 900.

參閱圖3、圖5與圖6,本發明雷射探測裝置實施時可設置於一個無人載具上,並在使用前進行初始設定。啟動該雷射發射單元1,而使該雷射發射單元1如圖5所示地以投射角度δ向地面投射出該雷射光,而於該平地的參考位置R投射形成該參考標記R’。接著,使該影像擷取單元2拍攝擷取該參考標記R’於該地面所構成的影像,而輸出一個如圖6所示的參考投射影像。然後,該基距量測模組32於該參考投射影像中的該參考標記R’量測出該參考基距L0(見圖6)。而該像物比分析模組33則根據該參考基距L0(見圖6)計算出該單位像物比。Referring to Figures 3, 5 and 6, the laser detecting device of the present invention can be implemented on an unmanned vehicle and initially set before use. The laser emitting unit 1 is activated, and the laser emitting unit 1 projects the laser light toward the ground at a projection angle δ as shown in Fig. 5, and the reference mark R' is projected at the reference position R of the flat ground. Then, the image capturing unit 2 captures an image formed by capturing the reference mark R' on the ground, and outputs a reference projected image as shown in FIG. 6. Then, the reference distance measurement module 32 measures the reference base distance L0 (see FIG. 6) of the reference mark R' in the reference projected image. The image ratio analysis module 33 calculates the unit image ratio based on the reference base distance L0 (see FIG. 6).

參閱圖2、圖3與圖7,設定後,當無人載具行移動並位於位置A時,會驅使該雷射探測裝置開始進行探測,此時,該雷射發射單元1以投射角度δ向障礙物900發射雷射光。具體來說,而透過扇形軌跡的設計,能使雷射光完整地照射到該無人載具後方的整個水平範圍,就能避免出現探測盲區。當該雷射光投射於該障礙物900表面時,會於該障礙物900形成水平直線狀的投射標記P。該影像擷取單元2會拍攝擷取該投射標記P於該等障礙物900表面所構成的影像並輸出該投射影像。接著,該處理單元3會自該投射影像辨識出該投射標記P,並測量出該影像偏距L1(見圖4),再根據該影像偏距L1(見圖4)分析計算出該實際物距D,從圖7中可知該無人載具未靠近該障礙物900,因此該無人載具會繼續移動,到達位置B時該雷射探測裝置可探測該無人載具仍未靠近該障礙物900,直到位置C時,該雷射探測裝置可探測該無人載具已靠近該障礙物900,則可驅使該無人載具停止或進行其他動作。Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, after setting, when the unmanned vehicle line moves and is located at position A, the laser detecting device is driven to start detecting. At this time, the laser emitting unit 1 is projected at a projection angle δ. The obstacle 900 emits laser light. Specifically, through the design of the sector track, the laser light can be completely irradiated to the entire horizontal range behind the unmanned vehicle, and the detection dead zone can be avoided. When the laser light is projected on the surface of the obstacle 900, a horizontally linear projection mark P is formed on the obstacle 900. The image capturing unit 2 captures an image formed by capturing the projection mark P on the surface of the obstacles 900 and outputs the projected image. Then, the processing unit 3 recognizes the projection mark P from the projected image, and measures the image offset L1 (see FIG. 4), and then calculates and calculates the actual object according to the image offset L1 (see FIG. 4). From the distance D, it can be seen from FIG. 7 that the unmanned vehicle is not close to the obstacle 900, so the unmanned vehicle will continue to move. When the position B is reached, the laser detecting device can detect that the unmanned vehicle is still not near the obstacle 900. Until position C, the laser detecting device can detect that the unmanned vehicle has approached the obstacle 900, thereby driving the unmanned vehicle to stop or perform other actions.

另外,該處理單元3還可根據該投射影像的該投射標記P計算得到該障礙物900的實際寬度,而操控該無人載具以適當的角度轉向以避開該障礙物900,而達到全自動駕駛的功能,當然實施上,該處理單元3亦可省略該影像寬度量測模組36與該寬度分析模組37,不以本實施例為限。需要說明的是,該雷射探測裝置除了應用於無人載具,也能應用於自走式清掃機等需要探測障礙物的裝置,不以本實施例的應用為限。In addition, the processing unit 3 can also calculate the actual width of the obstacle 900 according to the projection mark P of the projected image, and control the unmanned vehicle to turn at an appropriate angle to avoid the obstacle 900, thereby achieving full automatic operation. The function of the driving, of course, the processing unit 3 can also omit the image width measuring module 36 and the width analyzing module 37, which is not limited to the embodiment. It should be noted that the laser detecting device can be applied to a device such as a self-propelled sweeping machine that needs to detect an obstacle, and is not limited to the application of the embodiment.

And by projecting the projection mark P formed by the laser light on the obstacles 900, the actual object distance D between the laser detecting device and the obstacle 900 can be analyzed and calculated, thereby improving driving safety, so The object of the invention can be achieved.
