More specifically, described textural characteristics value is color dispersion.In present embodiment, color dispersion is Green Discrete degree.
The accounting of the predetermined color of perform region recognition unit 317 in this subimage block reaches when the first preset value and textural characteristics value reach the second preset value and judges that the subregion that this subimage block is corresponding is perform region.
In other embodiments, main control module 31 also can first carry out texture analysis, carrying out color sets again, as long as the accounting of the predetermined color in a number of sub images piece reaches the first preset value and textural characteristics value reaches the second preset value, 32 subregions corresponding to this subimage block of identification of described main control module are perform region 5.The differentiating method in above-mentioned perform region 5 and inoperative region 7 is only exemplary, and under similar thinking, main control module 31 also can process to distinguish perform region 5 and inoperative region 7 to image with other algorithm.For example predetermined block is divided into more subregion with improve location recognition degree of accuracy, change the shape of predetermined block, as become fan-shaped to contain wider visual field etc.
Based on the differentiation to perform region 5 and inoperative region 7 above, main control module 31 has been realized and having been analyzed in described image and predetermined image piece corresponding to described presumptive area, to monitor whether occur border in described presumptive area.
In the present embodiment, main control module 31 is divided into the corresponding some subimage blocks corresponding to some subregions of presumptive area by predetermined image piece, and analyze each subimage block corresponding subregion is identified as in perform region or inoperative region, when a sub regions is inoperative region and its adjacent subarea territory while being perform region, master control module judges boundary position is arranged in this subregion.
Concrete, if find after analyzing, zone line a, left field b and right side area c are perform region, judge that so the position of automatic running device 1 self does not have border 6 for being arranged in perform region 5 and visible range.If some region is perform region 5 in regional, some region is inoperative region 7, judges that so automatic running device 1 is positioned near border 6, and now, main control module 31 needs the relative position relation on further judgement self and border 6.If some subregions are judged as inoperative region 7, and the adjacent subarea territory in this region is perform region 5, so judge that this region comprises border 6, because the actual range of regional is limited, particular location that therefore in this way can decision boundary 6.
The recognition method of 6 positions, above-mentioned border is only exemplary, and under similar thinking, main control module 31 also can process to identify border to video with other algorithm.For example predetermined block is divided into more subregion with improve border 6 location recognition degree of accuracy, change the shape of predetermined block, as become fan-shaped with the size that contains the wider visual field, change predetermined block to find border of farther place etc.
Main control module 31 identifies behind the position on border 6, controls walking module 31 actions, makes automatic running device 1 in boundary position.If the actual coverage of predetermined block is larger, this step may need the time of growing and move, for example in the outermost of a predetermined block larger, that be divided into more subregions, find behind border 6, walking module 31 drives automatic running device walking, until the adjacent area of zone line or the most close several zone line a is inoperative region; If as in the present embodiment, presumptive area is less, be only divided into three sub regions, while finding border 6 so, border 6 is very close to automatic running device 1, and now walking arrival boundary position only comprises that controlling automatic running device keeps current state, avoids the action away from border 6.
Behind 6 positions, border, main control module 31 continues to control walking module 13 actions, makes automatic running device 16 walkings along border.While walking along border, automatic running device 1 needs to keep towards consistent with border 6, and therefore, main control module 31 is controlled walking module 13, keep housing 11 to be positioned at perform region 5, and border 6 is positioned at a specific side of housing 11.
Main control module 31 makes the region at 6 places, border be positioned at a side of automatic running device but not the place ahead, to realize towards adjustment.Concrete, it is perform region that main control module action makes zone line a, and left field b or right side area c are inoperative region, and like this, border 6 is located in left field b or right side area c, and not at zone line a.Main control module 31 can make border 6 be positioned at any side of automatic running device, also can make border 6 be positioned at a specific side of automatic running device, in the present embodiment, adjustment towards time, make border 6 be positioned at a specific side of automatic running device 1, keeping aforesaid zone line a is perform region 45, and in left field b or right side area c specific one is non-perform region 7, and another is perform region 5.Concrete, main control module 31 is controlled walking module 13 actions, keeps zone line corresponding to middle part to be identified as perform region, and the left field that left part or right part are corresponding or right side area are identified as inoperative region and border is positioned at wherein.
After adjusting, main control module 31 keep automatic running devices 1 towards and direction of travel consistent with border 6, be that main control module 31 is controlled walking module 13 actions, keep zone line corresponding to middle part to be identified as perform region, the left field that left part or right part are corresponding or right side area are identified as inoperative region and border is positioned at wherein, make the subregion at 6 places, border be positioned at all the time a side of automatic running device 1, keeping aforesaid zone line a is perform region 45, and one in left field b or right side area c is non-perform region 7, another is perform region 5.
Main control module 31 also comprises Boundary Recognition unit 321 and bus stop recognition unit 323, next coming in order introduction.
Boundary Recognition unit 321 judges that whether the current border following 6 is correct, whether leads to bus stop 4.
Except perform region 5, by perform region 5 around isolated island 71 there is equally border 6.As Fig. 7, if automatic running device 1 has first found the border 6 of isolated island 71 when finding border 6, may ceaselessly around isolated island 71, turn-take, cannot depart from, cannot return to bus stop 4.For fear of this situation, in 6 whens walking along border, Boundary Recognition unit 321 also judges whether the border 6 that automatic running device 1 is current followed is borders 6 of perform region 5, if judgment result is that, be, main control module 31 is controlled walking module 13, makes automatic running device 1 continue 6 walkings along this border; If the determination result is NO, main control module 31 is controlled walking module 13, makes automatic running device 1 leave the current border following 6, then finds other border 6.
Theoretical direction of travel when walk by the correct border of actual direction of travel and edge of comparison automatic running device 1 in Boundary Recognition unit 321 judges that whether current border is correct.As previously mentioned, in the present embodiment, automatic running device 16 while returning, is guaranteeing that border 6 is positioned at the specific side of self along border all the time.The automatic running device 1 of take guarantees that it is example that border 6 is positioned at self right side, if in the peripheral boundary 6 of automatic running device 1 perform region 5, it is by 6 the inside walking on border, direction of travel is counterclockwise, if in the peripheral boundary of isolated island 71, it is by 6 the outside walking on border, and its direction of travel is clockwise.Preset standard result is just set according to above-mentioned this corresponding relation, if a described specific side is left side, theoretical direction of travel is that a described specific side is right side clockwise, and theoretical direction of travel is counterclockwise.
First Boundary Recognition unit 321 judges in default time or default distance, the direction of travel of automatic running device 1, to represent clockwise and counterclockwise, this direction of travel is by calculating in default time or default distance, the accumulative total amount of deflection of automatic running device 1, and described accumulative total amount of deflection and preset value are relatively obtained, accumulation amount of deflection is the revolver 131 of automatic running device 1 and the accumulative total deflection angle that right accumulative total of taking turns the distance of 132 walkings is taken turns poor or automatic running device 1.
Boundary Recognition unit 321 is by the result of judgement and the preset standard result in storage unit 318, the i.e. theoretical direction of travel comparison in 6 whens walking along correct border subsequently, if the result of comparison is that actual direction of travel is consistent with theoretical direction of travel, the 321 current borders that follow 6 of judgement, Boundary Recognition unit are correct border 6 so, lead to bus stop 4, if the result of comparison is inconsistent, the 321 current borders that follow of judgement, Boundary Recognition unit are incorrect so, do not lead to bus stop 4.
Whether bus stop recognition unit 323 identification automatic running devices 1 close or arrival bus stop 4, and when it recognizes after bus stop 4, main control module 31 is controlled walking module, makes automatic running device 1 walk and dock towards bus stop.

Referring to Fig. 8, describe the method returning towards bus stop 4 of automatic running device 1 in detail.
Automatic running device 1, after recurrence program starts, first enters step S0, keeps walking, when keeping walking, whether execution step S1, there is border 6 in the image that monitoring image harvester 15 gathers, and in the process of monitoring, automatic running device 1 keeps walking.If do not find border 6 in the image that main control module 31 gathers at image collecting device 15, continue execution step S0, continue monitoring border 6; If found border 6 in the image that main control module 31 gathers at image collecting device 15, enter step S2, adjust position and make automatic running device 1 be positioned at 6 positions, border and towards consistent with border 6 trends.In the present embodiment, because the presumptive area of image collecting device 15 is less, while monitoring border 6 automatic running device 1 from the distance on border 6 close to, now the workload of step S2 is less, only needs to adjust self-position near border 6.
In the image that monitoring image harvester 15 gathers, whether comprise that border 6 can realize by following steps.
First, predetermined image piece is divided into the corresponding some subimage blocks corresponding to some subregions of presumptive area;
Subsequently, analyze each subimage block corresponding subregion is identified as in perform region 5 or inoperative region 7;
When a sub regions is inoperative region 7 and its adjacent subarea territory while being perform region 5, judgement 6 positions, border are arranged in this subregion.
As Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, after completing, step S2 enters step S4,6 walkings along border.Along border, the concrete modes of 6 walkings can be cross-border 6 walkings, also can be 6 one skiddings on border and walk, in the present embodiment, in order to keep the stability of walking, automatic running device 1 on border a specific skidding of 6 walk.And when walking along border, keep housing to be positioned at perform region, and border is positioned at a specific side of housing.Keeping aforesaid zone line a is perform region 45, and in left field b or right side area c specific one is non-perform region 7, and another is perform region 5.Concrete, main control module 31 is controlled walking module 13 actions, keeps zone line corresponding to middle part to be identified as perform region, and the left field that left part or right part are corresponding or right side area are identified as inoperative region and border is positioned at wherein.
Automatic running device 1 adjust self towards, make border 6 all be positioned at a specific side, in left field b or right side area c, then by this direction walking.After adjusting, main control module 31 keep automatic running devices 1 towards and direction of travel consistent with border 6, be that main control module 31 is controlled walking module 13 actions, keep zone line corresponding to middle part to be identified as perform region, the left field that left part or right part are corresponding or right side area are identified as inoperative region and border is positioned at wherein, make the subregion at 6 places, border be positioned at all the time a side of automatic running device 1, keeping aforesaid zone line a is perform region 45, and one in left field b or right side area c is non-perform region 7, another is perform region 5.
In the process of walking, image collecting device 15 is real-time image acquisition still, if left field b or right side area c have been departed from border 6, illustrate automatic running device 1 towards, namely the trend on direction of travel and border 6 is no longer consistent, automatic running device 1 is adjusted again towards making border 6 be arranged in left field b or right side area c, walking and in real time adjustment direction by the way, and automatic running device 1 has been realized 6 walkings along border.Because bus stop 4 is arranged on the border 6 of perform region 5, if automatic running device 15 border, 6 walkings along perform region finally can be got back to bus stop 4.
Maintenance is 6 walking time along border, and automatic running device 1 enters step S6, in the image that monitoring image harvester 15 gathers, whether occur bus stop 4.If main control module 31 analysis images are not found bus stop 4; do not move; walk on and monitor bus stop 4; if main control module 31 is found bus stop 4; enter step S8, main control module 31 is controlled automatic running devices 1 to bus stop 4 walkings, and adjusts towards with over against bus stop 4; with bus stop 4 docking, the actions such as confirmation is shut down after docking, charging.
Referring to Fig. 9, whether the current border following 6 of identification of describing automatic running device 1 in detail leads to the method for bus stop 4.
