Abstract

The disclosure relates to a welding system supporting a high-quality image and relates to a welding system configured to provide an image guiding a welding state of a user. The welding system includes a display unit including a front surface portion corresponding to a welding direction and a rear surface portion corresponding to a face portion direction; at least one eyepiece display installed in an area of the rear surface portion of the display unit; at least one camera unit installed in an area of the front surface portion of the display unit and configured to obtain a plurality of welding image frames according to a photographing condition of each frame; and a processor configured to control the photographing condition of the at least one camera unit, obtain a first synthesized image by synthesizing the plurality of welding image frames in parallel based on the plurality of welding image frames, and control the eyepiece display to display the first synthesized image.

Claims (1)

1 . A welding system ( 10 ) comprising: a display unit ( 130 ) comprising a front surface portion corresponding to a welding direction and a rear surface portion corresponding to a face portion direction; at least one eyepiece display ( 132 ) installed in an area of the rear surface portion of the display unit ( 130 ); at least one camera unit ( 110 ) installed in an area of the front surface portion of the display unit ( 130 ) and configured to obtain a plurality of welding image frames according to a photographing condition of each frame; and wherein the at least one camera unit ( 110 ) includes a first camera, a second camera and a thermal camera, wherein the at least one eyepiece display ( 132 ) includes a first eyepiece display ( 132 - 1 ) and a second eyepiece display ( 132 - 2 ), wherein the first camera is a camera corresponding to the first eyepiece display ( 132 - 1 ) and the second camera is a camera corresponding to the second eyepiece display ( 132 - 2 ), wherein the first camera and the second camera are configured to photograph a welding situation under different photographing conditions in a same frame, a processor ( 150 ) configured to: control the photographing condition of the camera unit ( 110 ), obtain a first intermediate synthesized image (f 1 ) based on a first frame (d 11 ) of the first camera and a first frame (e 12 ) of the second camera, obtain a second intermediate synthesized image (f 2 ) based on a second frame (d 12 ) of the first camera and a second frame (e 13 ) of the second camera, obtain a third intermediate synthesized image (f 3 ) based on a third frame of the first camera and a third frame of the second camera, synthesize a first synthesized image (g 1 ) by synthesizing the first intermediate synthesized image (f 1 ) and the second intermediate synthesized image (f 2 ), synthesize a second synthesized image (g 2 ) by synthesizing the second intermediate synthesized image (f 2 ) and the third intermediate synthesized image (f 3 ), and control the first eyepiece display ( 132 - 1 ) to display the first synthesized image (g 1 ) and the second eyepiece display ( 132 - 2 ) to display the second synthesized image (g 2 ), wherein the first synthesized image (g 1 ) and the second synthesized image (g 2 ) synthesized a thermal image by the thermal camera, wherein the second intermediate synthesized image (f 2 ) is commonly used in the generation of both the first synthesized image (g 1 ) and the second synthesized image (g 2 ), wherein the processor ( 150 ) is configured to synthesize the first intermediate synthesized image (f 1 ) and the second intermediate synthesized image (f 2 ) in parallel.
