DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a system and method for collecting traffic information by real-time target detection according to the present invention will be described in detail.

The features and advantages of the system and method for collecting traffic information by real-time target detection according to the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of each embodiment.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a real-time target detection method for an advanced driver assistance system according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a screen configuration diagram in a traffic information collection system by real-time target detection according to the present invention.

The present invention has a method of dynamically changing a region of interest to reduce the amount of computation and a real-time target detection scheme of dynamically adjusting a frame to be processed in an input image according to road conditions.

The system and method for collecting traffic information by real-time target detection according to the present invention are largely composed of a smart camera for a vehicle and a traffic information providing server for real-time traffic information service using the same.

Vehicle smart camera collects traffic information in real time through vehicle information, camera image information and other sensor information acquired by using onboard diagnostic system. Then, the collected traffic information is transmitted to the traffic information providing server through the network.

The traffic information providing server analyzes the traffic information received and provides the user with a real time traffic information service, whereby the user can receive the photograph of the current road and the degree of congestion.

The present invention comprises an image processing configuration for detecting a target in an embedded environment and a real-time traffic information collector using the image processing configuration.

The real-time target detection configuration for the advanced driver assistance system applied to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

In general, a target detection algorithm through popularized image processing requires a large amount of computation. In an embedded environment such as a high-tech driver protection system environment, the amount of computation must be reduced in order to detect targets in real time.

The present invention has a configuration for dynamically changing a region of interest to reduce the amount of computation and a structure for dynamically adjusting frames to be processed in the input image according to road conditions.

First, a configuration for dynamically adjusting a frame to be processed in the input image selects the number of frames to be processed among consecutive frames input based on the vehicle speed and the amount of change in acceleration.

The number of frames (FPF) to be calculated at this time is calculated by the equation in Fig. If FPF is 3, image processing is performed once every 3 frames.

Figure 112015095285548-pat00004

Here, S is the speed of the vehicle,? Is the fine impact correction coefficient,? A is the acceleration change amount, and FR is the frame rate of the target value.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first step is to extract a fixed area corresponding to the characteristics of each target in the entire input image.

The second step is to designate the area around the target detected in the fixed area of interest as the area of interest and detect the target while moving the area of interest according to the change of the position of the target.

The configuration of real - time traffic information collection is as follows.

When measuring road traffic volume, we use 3 kinds of information such as the speed of the vehicle, the distance from the head vehicle, and the number of vehicles in front to more accurately measure the traffic volume and configure the device for this operation.

FIG. 4 is a hardware configuration diagram of a smart camera of a traffic information collection system by real-time target detection according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a software configuration diagram of a smart camera of a traffic information collection system by real-time target detection according to the present invention.

The smart camera combines the forward image data and the sensor data acquired through the camera to collect the real-time traffic information to generate the metadata.

The generated metadata is transmitted to the traffic information providing server. The concrete structure of the smart camera required to generate and transmit the metadata is as follows.

Looking at the hardware structure of the smart camera, the smart camera is composed of two processors and various modules as shown in FIG.

The smart camera processor consists of a high performance AP (Application Processor) for real time image processing and a coprocessor for controlling sensors. Other modules included in the device can be divided into a sensor unit and a communication unit.

The sensor unit consists of a camera, an acceleration sensor and a Global Positioning System (GPS) module, which are used to acquire vehicle perimeter information.

Through the camera, it is possible to acquire the forward image and recognize the impact of the vehicle through the acceleration sensor. Finally, the current position and speed of the vehicle can be determined by GPS.

The communication unit is composed of a mobile communication network module, a Wi-Fi module and an OBD scanner.

The traffic information collected using the mobile communication module can be transmitted to the traffic information providing server, and the driver can inform the driver of the danger through the smart phone using the Wi-Fi module. The OBD scanner can also communicate with the in-vehicle ECU to obtain vehicle status information.

As shown in FIG. 5, the library used in the smart camera uses an embedded database, a database connector, and a library (wpa_supplicant) for storing information efficiently in an embedded environment . It also uses a library for real-time image processing (OpenCV, CUDA).

Three applications run in this environment.

The first corresponds to the image processing program of Fig. 5 as the image processing program. This program detects the target object from the image received from the camera and stores it in the database.

The second corresponds to the media transfer program of FIG. 5 as the media transfer program. This program queries the database for a list of still images and transmits media files that have not been transmitted to the server.

The third program is a general data transmission program similar to the media transmission program and corresponds to the data transfer program of FIG.

This program transmits the necessary data from the database to the server in the database.

The operation of such a smart camera is largely composed of three kinds.

First, analyze the surrounding situation in real time through image recognition. The smart camera informs the driver of the image analysis result and stores it in the database. The result of the analysis is called the image metadata.

Second, sensor data including OBD are periodically sampled to generate sensor data and store it in a database.

Third, data stored in the database is transmitted to the traffic information server. When data is transmitted to the server, the image metadata and the sensor data are combined and transmitted.

Data that combines one image metadata and one sensor data is called metadata. There are many kinds of image metadata, but sensor data stores all the sensor data existing in the smart camera as one group, so there are as many types of metadata as the kinds of image metadata.

The image metadata includes pedestrian recognition, license plate recognition, lane departure recognition results, and still images stored periodically. We try to recognize periodically considering the limited amount of computation in the embedded environment.

Basically, the pedestrian tries to recognize once every 0.3 seconds, the first half of the license plate is tried once every about 0.5 seconds, and the lane departure recognition is tried every about 0.1 second.

The storage period of still images is about 10 seconds. Each cycle can be controlled by the driver, and there is a restriction that the cycle can be changed within the computation capacity of the smart camera of the vehicle. The measurement periods of the image metadata and the sensor data are shown in Table 1.

Figure 112015095285548-pat00005

In addition, when generating image metadata, new information is derived using the image recognition result and included in the metadata.

Typically, the distance from the front vehicle can be estimated based on the result of the license plate recognition. Although the estimated distance is not accurate, it is possible to utilize the increase / decrease ratio of the distance to provide another information and service.

The traffic information collection system based on real-time target detection according to the present invention comprises a smart camera for a vehicle and a traffic information providing server for real-time traffic information service using the same.

The smart camera for a vehicle has a sensor unit for collecting traffic information and a communication unit for sharing the collected data.

The sensor unit can acquire the sensor information of the inside of the vehicle through OBD and acquire the forward image through the camera and analyze it. The communication unit has a function of sharing collected traffic information.

In order to collect traffic information, the sensor recognizes the speed of the vehicle, the distance from the leading vehicle, and the number of vehicles ahead. The traffic information of the current road is generated by combining the collected information, and is shared with other vehicles through the communication unit.

And OBD is used to read speed value to measure vehicle speed. OBD is a system that is used to diagnose faults of a vehicle. It is a system that can read current sensor values in a vehicle.

In order to measure the distance from the leading vehicle, the smart camera for the vehicle analyzes the image collected from the camera to recognize the license plate of the preceding vehicle.

Estimates the distance from the front vehicle based on the position of the license plate recognized in the input image.

The formula for converting the license plate position to the distance from the front vehicle is as follows.

Figure 112015095285548-pat00006

In the above equation, F dist is the distance from the front vehicle, d pixel is the distance between the end of the image and the license plate, and α and β are constants.

The method of recognizing the number of vehicles in front is estimated by the number of license plate recognized in the image.

The traffic information providing server generates the traffic volume information of the road based on the three pieces of information collected through the above process.

The formula for generating the traffic volume information based on the collected traffic information is as follows.

Figure 112015095285548-pat00007

In the above equation, C traffic is the traffic volume information, w s , w n , and w d are the weights of the vehicle speed, the number of vehicles in the front, and the distance information items in the vehicle.
S (x), N (y), and D (z) are functions for scoring the vehicle speed, the number of vehicles ahead, and the distance information between vehicles, respectively.

The scoring function is selected considering the effect of each traffic information on road traffic volume.

If the vehicle speed is above a certain level, the driver's tendency is more affected than the degree of congestion of the road. Therefore, it should be scored sensitively in the low and middle sections.

As the number of vehicles ahead increases beyond the acceptable range of the road, the degree of stagnation increases sharply and must be scored sensitively in the middle section in the high section.

Finally, the distance information between vehicles should be sensitively scored in the middle section because the effect on road congestion is low at or above a certain distance.

The scoring function selected in consideration of the characteristics of this information is as follows.

Figure 112015095285548-pat00008

The traffic information processing configuration and method of the traffic information collection system by real-time target detection according to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a traffic information collection system based on real-time target detection according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of collecting traffic information by real-time target detection according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, the traffic information processing system of the traffic information collection system using real-time target detection according to the present invention includes a frame inspection unit 60 for checking whether a frame received by the dynamic operation frame adjustment technique is an inspection object, An image processing region determining unit 61 for determining an image processing region to separately perform the fixed region image processing or the dynamic region image processing and the fixed region image processing or the dynamic region image processing, A target detection unit 63 for detecting a target through setting and recognizing a region of interest, and a target position storage unit 64 for storing the position of the target obtained in the image processing in a rectangular form do.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the traffic information collection method using real-time target detection according to the present invention, when an image (frame) is input (S701), it is checked whether a frame received by the dynamic operation frame adjustment technique is an object to be inspected. S702)

For example, image processing can be performed every 3 frames by a dynamic operation frame adjustment technique.

In order to distinguish the fixed region image processing or the dynamic region image processing, it is determined whether the region is a dynamic region (S703)

If the object is found in the previous frame and the dynamic region processing is not performed consecutively N times, it is judged to be a dynamic region.

If it is determined that the area is not the dynamic area, the fixed area image processing is performed (S704)

Fixed area image processing recognizes pedestrians, front license plates, front signs, lanes, etc., and sets the fixed area of interest and location to fit the characteristics of each object.

Pedestrian recognition recognizes from horizontal (2/6 to 5/6) and vertical (4/8 to 7/8) based on the input image.

The license plate recognition recognizes horizontal (2/6 to 5/6) and vertical (4/8 to 7/8) based on the input image.

And the sign recognition recognizes from the input image as horizontal (1/2 point to 2/2 point) and vertical (0 point to 1/2 point).

And the lane recognition recognizes from horizontal (3/20 point to 17/20 point) and vertical (6/8 point to 7/8 point) based on the input image.

If it is determined to be the dynamic region, the dynamic region image processing is performed (S705)

In the dynamic region image processing, the ROI is set considering the movement of the object based on the stored target position, and the ROI is set by increasing the smallest rectangle including the recognized ROI by 30px.

When the object is found by performing the fixed region image processing and the dynamic region image processing in this manner (S706), the position of the object obtained from the image processing result is stored in a rectangular shape (coordinates of the upper left point and coordinates of the lower right point). (S707)

The system and method for collecting traffic information by real-time target detection according to the present invention as described above includes a method of dynamically changing the region of interest to reduce the amount of computation and a real-time target detection .

The present invention can provide a safety and convenience of a user by integrating real-time target detection technology for advanced driver assistance system and vehicle technology related to real-time traffic information collection device and method using the same.

As described above, it will be understood that the present invention is implemented in a modified form without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.

It is therefore to be understood that the specified embodiments are to be considered in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense and that the scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description and that all such differences falling within the scope of equivalents thereof are intended to be embraced therein It should be interpreted.
