Abstract
A lane recognition device and a lane recognition method are disclosed. A lane recognizing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a photographing unit for photographing a road image on which a vehicle travels, a sun sensing unit for sensing the position of the sun, The lane by the shadow of the median of the road image is excluded from among the extracted lane candidates based on the sun position sensed by the sun sensing unit and the remaining except the lane by the shadow of the median separator is recognized as the lane And a lane recognition unit.
Description
The present invention relates to a lane recognition apparatus and a lane recognition method, and more particularly, to a lane recognition apparatus and a lane recognition method for recognizing lanes in a shadow environment.
A lane keeping system such as a lane keeping assistance system (Lane Keeping Assistance System) and a lane departure warning system recognizes a lane based on lane information of a road image photographed using a front camera. At this time, in order for the lane-keeping system to accurately recognize the lane, the detected lane information must be accurate.
However, there is a problem that the lane recognition performance deteriorates when shadows are generated on the road from the median separator of the road. This is because the shadows are located above the lane and change the general color and brightness of the lane.
In addition, when the brightness of the boundary between the light passing through the median separator and the shadow of the median separates suddenly, and the edge extraction process used for lane recognition has an output similar to the lane, .
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a lane recognition apparatus and a lane recognition method capable of more accurately and reliably recognizing a lane under a shadow environment in which a shadow of a median separator can be misinterpreted as a lane.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an information processing apparatus comprising: a photographing unit photographing a road image on which a vehicle runs; A sun sensing unit for sensing the position of the sun; And a lane-by-shadow lane of the median of the road image from among the extracted lane candidates based on the sun position sensed by the sun sensor, using edge detection in the road image photographed through the photographing unit, And a lane recognition unit for recognizing the remaining lanes except the lane by the shadow of the median separator as a lane.
The lane recognizing unit may include estimating a shadow direction and a shadow boundary of the median using the position and brightness of the sun and the position and height of the median.
The lane recognizing unit may include estimating a lane by the shadow of the median based on the shadow direction and the shadow boundary of the median.
The lane recognition unit may further generate an image emphasizing at least one of yellow or blue in the road image photographed through the photographing unit, and extracting the lane candidate based on the generated image.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an image processing method for shooting an image of a road on which a vehicle travels through a photographing unit, converting an image of the road into a gray image form of the photographed road image and detecting an edge, A lane candidate corresponding to the shadow of the median of the road image among the extracted lane candidates based on the sensed sun position, recognizes a lane candidate corresponding to a shadow of the median of the road image, And recognizing the remainder as a lane can be provided.
It is also possible to estimate the shadow direction and shadow boundaries of the median using the position and brightness of the sun, the position and height of the median, and estimate the shadow direction and shadow boundary of the median based on the shadow direction and shadow boundaries of the median And recognizing lane candidates corresponding to shadows.
The lane candidate extraction may further include generating an image in which at least one of yellow or blue is emphasized in the road image photographed through the photographing unit, and extracting the lane candidate based on the generated image.
The embodiments of the present invention can prevent the shadow of the median separator from being mistaken as a lane by using the sun position and the sun brightness, so that the lane can be recognized more accurately and reliably.
