Step 1: image pre-service
Step 2: utilize Harr feature location human eye area
Step 3: identification nictation
Step 4: the detection and the judgement of LED reflection bright spot in the pupil
Step 5: the accurate location of pupil center
Step 6: the calculating of direction of visual lines
Wherein the practical implementation step of step 1 is:
1. coloured image gray processing
The digital picture of gathering is to have R, G, and the colour picture of B component, algorithm only need gray level image, and with the coloured image gray processing, formula is following:
V=0.259R+0.578G+0.144B;
Gray-scale value after V representes to change in the formula, R, G, B is the red of picture, and is green, blue component.
2. down-sampling
In all types of target detection method, the time complexity and the image resolution ratio of algorithm are proportional, under target detection accuracy condition with higher, and can be through image be adopted to improve arithmetic speed down.Among the present invention camera collection to image resolution ratio be 640 * 480, with the gray scale method of average it is punctured into 320 * 240 image.
Wherein the practical implementation step of step 2 is:
The right eye sorter that employing is obtained by Modesto Castrill ó n training carries out the human eye location to image.
Wherein the practical implementation step of step 3 is:
Analyze the human eye area bianry image and can know that black picture element was more when human eye was closed, black picture element is less when opening eyes, so black picture element number characteristic can well make a distinction opening eyes and closing one's eyes in the two-value ocular image.Whether the present invention adds up the number of two-value ocular black picture element in every two field picture, and compares with former frame, utilizes the relation between the interframe black picture element number, differentiate to exist human eye to transfer action nictation of closing to by opening.Detailed process is following:
If the i two field picture is F i, human eye area is Di
1. add up F iIn, region D iGray-scale value is less than 150 pixel number C i
2. add up F I+1In, region D iGray-scale value is less than 150 pixel number C i';
3. if C i/ C i'>0.9 is then thought the incident of closing one's eyes to occur;
4. if continuous some frames detect less than eyes after the possible incident of closing one's eyes occurring, then confirm as and close one's eyes.
Wherein the practical implementation step of step 4 is:
In the eye areas, the pul spot of admiring has following geometric properties:
1. be positioned at around the pupil, with pupil center distance less than 30 pixels
2. size is that 5~20 pixels do not wait, and gray-scale value is more than 100;
3. in eye areas, the gray-scale value at bright spot place respectively has a maximum value, and under ideal conditions, and the admire sudden change of spot place gray scale of four puls is maximum;
4. four puls are admired between the spot distance in 8~18 pixel coverages, and are approximated to the rectangle relation;
Therefore seek bright spot through following steps:
1. with the center of the legal position of horizontal Gray Projection and vertical Gray Projection pupil, with the scope of each 30 pixel up and down at this center as the region of search;
2. in the region of search, seek the gray scale extreme point, promptly seek the point set G that gray-scale value meets the following conditions:
g(x 0,y 0)≥max{g(x,y)},g(x 0,y 0)>100
3. with Laplace operator as follows each point among the point set G is carried out convolution with point around it, obtain the differential f at each some g place.
- 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 24 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1
Because the Laplace operator is a kind of isotropic differentiating operator, its effect is the zone of stressing gray scale sudden change in the image, and Laplace convolution intermediate value is big more, explains that the sudden change of this place's gray scale is big more.Adopt 5 * 5 Laplace operator, can further avoid noise;
4. point set G is sorted by its differential value f, select four maximum some P0~P3 of f, as candidate point;
5. check P0~P3 if can form rectangle, confirms that then P0~P3 is four puls spots of admiring, otherwise abandons current frame image.
Wherein the practical implementation step of step 5 is:
If human eye area image size is m*n, by following formula it is done level and vertical Gray Projection, finding respectively has a minimal value in the vertical direction of pupil center and the Gray Projection of horizontal direction.Horizontal Gray Projection is that each gray values of pixel points along continuous straight runs accumulative total in the gray level image is projected on the image vertical axes; Vertical Gray Projection is that each gray values of pixel points in the gray level image is vertically totally projected on the image level axle.Detailed process is following:
Ph y ( y ) = Σ x = 0 n - 1 I ( x , y )
Ph x ( x ) = Σ y = 0 m - 1 I ( x , y )
Ph wherein y(y), Ph x(x) be respectively level and vertical Gray Projection, (x y) is each gray values of pixel points in the eyes image to I.
Therefore can try to achieve the Q of pupil center is:
(x 0,y 0)where?Ph y(y 0)=Min(Ph y(y))?and?Ph x(x 0)=Min(Ph x(x))
LED reflection bright spot drops in the pupil region, can change drop shadow curve's characteristic, influences the pupil center location.Need respectively bright spot P0~P3 to be carried out the gray scale correction, smoothly its gray-scale value improves the accuracy of pupil center location.With P0 is that the concrete smoothing method of example is following:
A1 A2 A3
A4 P0 A5
A6 A7 A8
With P0 is the center, revises the gray-scale value of pixel A 1~A8.Modification method is following: with the A1 center, get its adjacent 8 pixels on every side, searching comprises the minimum gray value in these 9 pixels of A1, with the gray-scale value of its alternative A1.In like manner can revise the gray-scale value of A2~A8, calculate and revise A1~A8 minimum value afterwards, the gray-scale value of its alternative P0.
Wherein the practical implementation step of step 6 is:
According to physics and method of geometry, can confirm the one-to-one relationship of screen and images acquired, promptly four bright spots are corresponding in the LED at four angles of screen and the eye image, and direction of visual lines is corresponding with pupil center.Therefore according to this corresponding relation, just can judge direction of visual lines through the eye image of gathering, concrete grammar is following:
1. according to accompanying drawing 3, ask the diagonal line intersection point O of P0~P3 with the method for computational geometry:
Definition by leg-of-mutton area formula and cross product has:
| P 1 O | | P 3 O | = S Δ P 0 P 1 P 2 S Δ P 0 P 3 P 2 = P 0 P 1 → × P 0 P 2 → P 0 P 1 → × P 0 P 3 →
By fixed formula, can obtain the x coordinate that O orders and be than branch:
x 0 = S Δ P 0 P 1 P 2 · x P 1 + S Δ P 0 P 3 P 2 · x P 3 S Δ P 0 P 1 P 2 + S Δ P 0 P 3 P 2
In like manner also can obtain the y coordinate that O is ordered.
2. link OQ, OP0, OP1, OP2, OP3, then the zone at the Q of pupil center place can be obtained according to following relationship:
Area 0: OQ drops between OP0 and the OP1, corresponding direction of visual lines be " on "
Zone 1:OQ drops between OP1 and the OP2, and corresponding direction of visual lines is " right side "
Zone 2:OQ drops between OP2 and the OP3, and corresponding direction of visual lines is a D score
