AOTO introduces UAV smart dark and bright lines calibration technology
Jun 13, 2022
During the fine pixel pitch LED screen construction, there is a common occurrence of dark or bright lines appearing adjacent between the cabinets or modules, which are caused by panels dislocating during installation, which can have a significant impact on the visual experience.
Manual calibration and professional camera calibration are the two methods that are typically used for calibration. However, both of these approaches have limitations.
Professional camera calibration equipment can be expensive and awkward to carry. The system is also quite complex, and can be challenging for staff to get started. While manual calibration relies on human eye observation, the efficiency is limited and the quality cannot be controlled.
To deal with these issues, AOTO has developed a correction system that can be used with a mobile phone to easily eliminate dark or bright lines of an LED display. This system is intended to replace manual inspection and cameras that enable gap calibration. After installation, there will be less complicated steps. Instead, users will only need to use the smartphone to scan the screen, which will then automatically accomplish the system configuration and bring about the debugging.
The correction system uses advanced AI image processing technology, and a single scan can correct multiple lines, increasing the efficiency by more than six times. The system adopts wireless networking, allowing multiple mobile phones to calibrate at the same time, and complete the assembly and on-site calibration of the display quickly. The system is simple, clever, and extremely effective. It has been utilised in a variety of projects, where it has contributed to a significant increase in installation speed and a reduction in overall project duration. After the correction, the picture quality is significantly improved.
At the InfoComm show 2022 in the United States, AOTO introduced a new and upgraded system: intelligent UAV dark and light lines calibration system, which makes use of drone to intelligently plan paths to automatically complete full-screen accurate calibration. This brings the efficiency and capability of dark and light lines calibration to an entirely new level.
It is developed for the application of larger-sized display screens at heights such as outdoor advertising and large-scale concerts. We are able to use the drone to fly close to the display screen in order to get to the right place and complete the systematic configuration. This method is not constrained by the height of the screen, is not impacted by the surrounding environment, and can level any tricky angle. The scanning and processing range is significantly larger than that of a mobile phone (more than four times as large), and the effect is significantly enhanced.
In addition to the powerful calibration function, the components of UVA Smart dark or bright lines calibration system are wirelessly connected, making it easy to use. The system supports real-time preview of onboard images, and supports real-time monitoring of aircraft status, aircraft attitude, remote control communication connection, remaining battery power, remaining flight time and other information to ensure that all calibration work is carried out smoothly.
