  • Patent number: 10605694
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of movement monitoring, and provides a video monitoring apparatus and method for an operating state of a wave maker. When the operating state of the wave maker is monitored, an image collected by a camera is subjected to mark point detection and a central position is computed. Then, the position of each mark point is tracked in a dynamic video; and the operating condition of each wave paddle is assessed according to the motion state of the mark point. In the present invention, operating monitoring of the wave paddle is independent of a wave making control system, and the operating condition of the wave paddle is monitored in real time through a non-contact image measurement mode.

  • Patent number: 10488194
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of image measurement, and provides a motion measurement method and apparatus applied to a large multi-paddle wave simulation system. When the motion of the wave maker is measured, firstly site images are collected by the cameras; the mark point on each wave making paddle in the image processing boards is identified; and a central position is computed. Then, the central position is contrasted with the initial position to calculate displacement of the image plane and convert the displacement into the displacement on a physical space in combination with calibration parameters. Next, data is transmitted to the computer through the EtherCAT network, and coded identification is conducted on the data. Finally, comparative analysis is conducted on a measured value and a target value of the motion of the wave making paddle in the computer, thereby obtaining motion information of the wave maker.
