Description

The method and apparatus that is used for the image information of matching optics system
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method and a kind of corresponding device thereof and a kind of corresponding computer programs product that is used for the image information of matching optics system.
Background technology
When the optical device of changing optical system or image converter (imager); Must start anew to mate process of measurement based on image; So that accept the new characteristic of optical system, the contrast-response characteristic of image resolution ratio (pixel/grade, subtended angle ...), image, video camera effect of regulating or the like for example.Can be according to image with some algorithm parameterization.But this requires in computing unit, to analyze present image and it is stored in the storer, thus subsequently can be with to the treatment of picture step parameterization.This has produced memory bandwidth requirements and memory requirement, and it must realize and produce cost in system.
Come the characteristic of image converter (for example dead pixel) and dynamic range interior (the for example correction relevant of fixed pattern noise) in the matched static scope at present with temperature through suitable measure.Yet this analysis based on the hardware of optical system realizes and ignores basically the aspect and the requirement of process of measurement.
DE 10202163A1 discloses the night vision system that is used for image process method and device and is used for motor vehicle; Wherein responsive standard camera provides image near infrared, on the display device with resolution lower than said video camera, shows said image.Flame Image Process can be improved the original image of sensor by means of image clarification method and/or contrast enhancement process, thereby can realize that demonstration on the display device is to be observed by the observer.
Algorithm (like night vision) improves image in concrete application facet (observing image by the people at this).
Summary of the invention
Under said background, be used to make the image information of optical system to be matched with the method for at least one post-processing algorithm, the device and the corresponding computer programs product of the said method of use through the present invention proposes according to independent claims are described.Draw favourable configuration by corresponding dependent claims and following description.
The present invention is based on optical system with subsequently based on the foundation that separates between the process of measurement of image.
According to the present invention, introducing image abstraction layer---be so-called Image Abstraction Layer (IAL), it separates optical system with post-processing algorithm in system.On this meaning, the image abstraction layer is " standard picture " realized independently with optical system to the full extent.At this, standard picture not only is interpreted as an image, and it also can be a plurality of images of being derived by original image.In addition, image not only can be the image on the typical meaning, and can be the card based on image (Karte) of pre-processing stage.
The output data of optical system is the intensity level as data stream, wherein can be used as stream or comes the said data stream of analyzing and processing as image with picture traverse with combining.Before handling, can store the image in the storer through the IAL algorithm.Alternatively, direct analyzing and processing pixel stream.According to characteristic, this is the interface between optical system (imager) and the IAL.The output data of IAL is again pixel stream or image, and it can be stored in the storer or directly and handle subsequently.This depends on uses and timing.
IAL not only can realize also can realizing with software with hardware.Because use these methods, so for example the PLD of FPGA form is suitable for the hardware realization according to being used for.When realizing with software, it carries out on the microcontroller of freely programmable usually.
One of standard picture can be the reconstruction of lens errors.At this, the measurement through optical system obtains to describe the data of the optical parallax of lens combination.Can calculate the correction rule (for example being the pixel-shift form) that is used for original image by means of the model of optical parallax by said data.In suitable realization, can in FPGA, realize said pixel-shift.Form through pixel-shift and to have structurized image, said structuring is not to come from observed scene but come from pixel-shift.Therefore, computed image is level and smooth after skew, for example bilinear interpolation.In said concrete situation, at first with raw image storage in storer and in FPGA, calculate pixel-shift subsequently.Directly in FPGA, aspect level and smooth, further handle the result of image shift subsequently and subsequently said result is stored in the storer as pixel stream.The different lens errors effects that are of said standard picture and original image.In the respective design of said method, can not consider lens errors, obtain the advantage of IAL thus at this.
Another standard picture can be the standard picture that has through the colouring information of analyzing and processing.In order to write down colouring information, can on imager, apply the pattern (pattern) of color filter, said pattern can take on a different character according to using.On 2 * 2 image pixel zones, can use pattern such as red-intensity-intensity-intensity (no filter) (so-called R3I), R-G-B-intensity (RGBI), green grass or young crops-intensity-intensity-intensity (C3I) or the like.
Also can for example derive information based on local white balance, that is to say, partly white and redness compared and estimate redness with respect to white by pattern about " red (Rotheit) " of picture point.According to employed imager pattern, method is different.Yet result and optical system are irrelevant, draw the advantage of IAL thus.In concrete situation, handle the more or less bigger image-region of a picture point on every side and generate red tolerance (Rotheitsma β) according to employed pattern analysis.Said result data is stored in the storer as image.Then post-processing algorithm can be visited said image to carry out redness classification, for example be used to survey the algorithm of traffic sign (speed(-)limit sign) with red edge can be according to pixels based on the classify edge pixel of the plate that detects of red image (Rotheitsbild).
For realization according to the present invention, except that image producing method, can make up other suitable methods.Image producing method for example can comprise that dead pixel is proofreaied and correct or fixed pattern noise is proofreaied and correct; In said dead pixel is proofreaied and correct, proofread and correct, in said fixed pattern noise is proofreaied and correct, proofread and correct through the corrected value match value of storing based on sheet format through interior the inserting of picture point (pixel) on every side.Suitable method for example can relate to lens errors, red image or edge image at this.
At this, the purpose of combination is to produce the standard picture of certain strict quality standard and confirm said quality standard.Exemplary quality standard for example is the histogram of grey value profile, the frequency analysis of image, time variation of frequency spectrum or the like at this.
On the edge of in the standard picture, can be with the length of edge section as quality standard.The edge standard picture for example is the basis that use in the track in the vehicular field.In image, calculating and passing threshold are estimated the gradient of each picture point.The passing threshold evaluation is used to the gradient of classifying.
Subsequently, the gradient through classification with each picture point is linked into the edge, connection or interruption during wherein the classification of gradient decision chain forms.Subsequently, the average length and the distribution of chain length around mean value of chain are measured as Q.Regulate the threshold value of image subsequently subsequently based on said tolerance.Guaranteed that through said image abstraction track algorithm subsequently can expect the quality that remains unchanged and the adjusting of the marginal information in the image.
Quality standard can be used for the parametrization of algorithm subsequently subsequently, that kind of for example setting forth by the embodiment of edge image.
In addition, based on quality standard, also can be used as the whole monitoring that realizes optical system.This can for example be used for the supervisory system availability again in the safety approach category.
If definite duration that is adjusted in of edge image goes up or stops enduringly, promptly cannot regulate the average length of chain, then this can infer the damage of optical system---the for example pollution of viewing area or the inefficacy of imager.This blind identification can be safety approach a part and based on edge image.
In addition, for the image that settles the standard can use the method for correcting image, for example reverse calculating and/or the coloured image of nonlinear characteristic curve that video camera regulates pseudomorphism proofreaied and correct, is used to compensate to lens errors to the conversion of gray-value image.
Different functions or post-processing algorithm have different requirement to image, and these requirements may cause the conflict in System Component Design.Therefore, difference possibly greatly hinder the property capable of being combined of function as requested.At least must be in some functions or all functions the tolerance loss of energy.For example, can quote process of measurement " track detection " and " Traffic Sign Recognition in dim ".The image that Traffic Sign Recognition need have the least possible motion indistinctness comes group indication because otherwise for example the numeral in the traffic sign become and be beyond recognition.Because cannot be on the velocity range of vehicle in the availability of function aspects limitation function, so this causes the requirement of short exposure time.On the contrary, lane identification depends on contrast, and this finally realizes through the long time shutter.But the finally long time shutter is not the track Testing requirement.
In order to satisfy different requirement like this; Finally can use the filter image that settles the standard; Said filter is for example illustrated by the example of lane identification and Traffic Sign Recognition; Even for example under the situation of short exposure time also contrast work with improving, be similar to the mode of operation in the night vision, but be not optimally to observe image for the people but be matched with process of measurement or the requirement of post-processing algorithm.
If the requirement of function to be made up maybe be not simultaneously, then the image abstraction layer also can comprise a plurality of images and/or present wave filter result's the card based on image.For example can use traffic sign red image, be used for the edge image of measuring in the track and be used for traffic sign and lens errors that the track is measured is proofreaied and correct.
Advantageously, the selection through can be through optical device and pictcure generator and be combined in the aspect of performance panntographic system of system according to the realization of scheme of the present invention, and need not to recalibrate basically respectively the system component that carries out Flame Image Process.In addition, the design that can combination with one another has system component has the very function of different requirement of possibility.
The present invention proposes the method that quality standard that a kind of image information that is used to make optical system is matched with at least one post-processing algorithm requires; Said method comprises the steps: to receive image information through receiving interface, and wherein said image information comprises the intensity level that is provided by optical system; And using at least one image producing method and one to be used for confirming at least one standard picture under the situation of combination of method and/or a method that is used for image analysis processing of image rectification, thereby said at least one standard picture satisfies the quality standard requirement of said at least one post-processing algorithm.
Said optical system can have image detection device or video camera or pictcure generator.For example, optical system can relate to the system based on video of vehicle.Optical system can detect the surrounding environment zone of vehicle and will offer according to the method for the invention further to handle through receiving interface about the respective image information in surrounding environment zone.Image information can comprise one or more original images.Said one or more original image can be by optical system, for example provided by imager or image converter.Intensity level can relate to the brightness of the image relevant with image information and relate to Color Channel where necessary.Method by means of employed image generation, image rectification or image analysis processing can so change or matching image information, makes it satisfy quality requirements.Promptly can for example produce the standard picture that satisfies quality requirements by the original image that does not satisfy quality requirements.For this reason, can mate determined image parameter or picture characteristics.Said at least one post-processing algorithm (it satisfies quality requirements) can relate to the algorithm of being realized by driver assistance system.For example, it can relate to the algorithm that is used for Traffic Sign Recognition or traveling lane identification.Standard picture based on the image information of optical system can be the input quantity of post-processing algorithm.For this reason, standard picture can offer post-processing algorithm or offer the device of realizing post-processing algorithm through output interface.In order further to handle standard picture, predetermined quality standard requirement has been proposed by post-processing algorithm.Predetermined quality standard requires can be specifically to coordinate mutually with one or one group of post-processing algorithm.Said method can be configured to optical system irrespectively and therefore with the image information image that irrespectively so settles the standard, make standard picture have and satisfy the quality standard that quality standard requires.For example, the quality standard requirement can limit the effective range of the quality standard of permission.It can be the boundary value of image parameter that quality standard requires.Such image parameter can relate to edge length, grey value profile or the frequency spectrum of edge section.
For example, said at least one post-processing algorithm can be configured to implement Traffic Sign Recognition and/or track detection based on standard picture.Guaranteed that through the combination of method standard picture and employed optical system irrespectively satisfy the quality standard requirement of said at least one post-processing algorithm; Can further handle standard picture by said at least one post-processing algorithm thus, need not other aftertreatments or coupling.Need not make post-processing algorithm be matched with presently used optical system yet.
At least one image producing method can comprise to be inserted in the picture point and/or the color value coupling.Thus, for example not only in tatic range but also in dynamic range, consider the characteristic of pictcure generator.For example can implement the correction relevant of fixed cycle interference (fixed pattern noise) with temperature.
The method that is used for image rectification can be configured to the error of the lens combination of correcting optical system.Can confirm standard picture based on image information through the lens errors correction.Can be through said mode at standard picture by eliminating the image disruption that causes by lens errors before the post-processing algorithm aftertreatment.
The method that is used for image analysis processing can be configured to the colouring information or the structural change of analyzing and processing image information.Colouring information for example is important for Traffic Sign Recognition.Structural change can be represented edge variation, and it possibly be important for lane identification.
Therefore according to a form of implementation, the method that is used for image analysis processing can be configured to confirm the value of color tolerance for different image areas based on image information, so that based on the value of the color tolerance image that settles the standard.Image-region can be the zone around a picture point.Color tolerance for example can be confirmed to red color.
Alternatively or additionally, the method that is used for image analysis processing can be configured to confirm marginal information and confirm the edge standard picture based on marginal information based on image information.Edge standard picture or edge image are cards.Wherein store for example comprise have be associated the former and the latter's marginal information (row for example or below row in the horizontal range of ensuing picture point) data.It is based on image or towards the card of picpointed coordinate, and its data are not corresponding to the intensity data of image.In said situation, quality standard requires and can the edge length of the edge section of edge standard picture be claimed.
Usually, quality standard requires to comprise that time of frequency spectrum of frequency analysis and/or standard picture of histogram, the standard picture of the grey value profile of standard picture changes.Can use the knowledge of definite quality standard through different methods.For example, can the service property (quality) standard, so that the monitoring optical system.Additionally or alternatively, can the service property (quality) standard come said at least one post-processing algorithm of parametrization.
According to a form of implementation, can comprise at least one standard picture of analyzing and processing according to the method for the invention so that functional step of monitoring optical system.
In the step of confirming, can confirm first standard picture of the quality standard requirement of satisfied first post-processing algorithm, and can confirm second standard picture of the quality standard requirement of satisfied second post-processing algorithm.Can be concurrently or one after the other carry out confirming of first standard picture and second standard picture.Through confirming different standard pictures, can consider the demands of different of different post-processing algorithm.
For example can confirm different standard pictures about lens errors correction, edge image or red image.Can calculate lens errors concurrently and proofread and correct and red image, because must calculate the red image on original image.In addition, scioptics error correction and be mainly used in the level and smooth interior blend color information (the for example red and white among the R3I) inseparably of inserting.Subsequently must be according to being used for skew rule that lens errors the proofreaies and correct red image that squints, because otherwise the picture position is no longer consistent.Subsequently in edge calculation information on the image of lens errors correction.Guaranteed that like this relevant position explanation in the standard picture of IAL is consistent originally physically.
In addition, the present invention proposes a kind of device, it is configured to implement or realize step according to the method for the invention.Through the enforcement deformation program of device form of the present invention also can be fast and solve efficiently the present invention based on task.
Computer program with program code also is favourable; Said program code is stored on the machine-readable carrier containing (like semiconductor memory, harddisk memory or optical memory), and when executive routine on said device, is used to implement the described method of one of embodiment according to above description.
