Before the present invention is described in detail, be noted that in the following description content similar elements is to represent with identical numbering.
First preferred embodiment
Consult Fig. 2, image detection device of the present invention is applicable to that reception one comprises the video flowing of a plurality of pictures, the resolution of every picture is M * N, comprise the N columns according to (for example: the 1st row, the 2nd row ... n row ...), and each columns is according to having M pixel (for example: the 1st pixel, the 2nd pixel ... the m pixel ...).This preferred embodiment comprises characteristics unit 1, search engine 2 and validator 3.This search engine 2 comprise search unit 21, search unit 22 down, unit 23 and the right unit 24 of searching are searched in a left side, and each is searched unit 21,22,23,24 and comprises Image Comparator 211,221,231,241, cover side comparator 212,222,232,242 and determining device 213,223,233,243.This validator 3 comprises confirmation unit 31, following confirmation unit 32, left confirmation unit 33 and right confirmation unit 34.
This characteristics unit 1 receive go up search end position reg_SEARCH_U, search original position reg_SEARCH_D down, end position reg_SEARCH_L and the right original position reg_SEARCH_R that searches are searched in a left side, and can use the last search area that defines each picture, following search area, left search area and right search area, as shown in Figure 3.
This characteristics unit 1 also receives the pixels after a column buffer (line buffer) 4 postpones such as the pixel of each search area and its in regular turn, and calculate the pixel characteristic value of each pixel, with output top characteristic value U, below characteristic value D, present characteristic value C, left characteristic value L, and right-hand characteristic value R.And its grade concerns respectively shown in Fig. 4 (a)~(d) in the position of institute's respective pixel in the search area of upper and lower, left and right.
In the present embodiment, be that each pixel is divided into a luminance component y and two chroma component u, v, and make the pixel characteristic value of each pixel be set at (1/4) (2y+|u|+|v|) that wherein u and v are all symbol (signed) data kenel, | X| represents the absolute value of X.This is because luminance component y is the principal element that determines pixel characteristic, so give bigger weight.
But the basis vector of pixel also can select for use other basis vector to constitute, not as limit.And the pixel characteristic value also can adopt other formula that can highlight pixel characteristic to represent except aforementioned set point, not as limit.
Image detection device of the present invention can be respectively in upper and lower a, left side and the right search area detected image position, at this, explanation is earlier namely gone up search method about the detection mode of last search area.
Last search method
Consult Fig. 5, the performed last search method of first preferred embodiment of image detecting method of the present invention comprises following steps:
Step 61: each group data (in the present embodiment, each group refers to each row) of search area are gone up in 211 assessments of this Image Comparator, with infer a representative graph as initial row first on estimate the position.
And step 61 comprises following substep:
Substep 611: this Image Comparator 211 calculates the number of pixels that is assessed as image in the present columns certificate.When present characteristic value C does not fall within maximum cover side value reg_BLANK MaxWith minimum cover side value reg_BLANK MinThe scope that defines, then assessing respective pixel is image pixel, at this moment, this Image Comparator 211 makes epigraph counting IMAGE_U_cnt add 1, as equation (1).This is because the brightness of cover side low order comparatively usually, but is not extremely black (being zero luminance).
IF((C>reg_BLANK max)||(C<reg_BLANK min))
IMAGE_U_cnt++ (1)
Substep 612: this Image Comparator 211 relatively this epigraph counting IMAGE_U_cnt whether greater than a horizontal image judge reg_H_IMAGE (for example be each columns certificate number of pixels 3/4), estimate the position on first to infer.
If it is the initial row of image according to (being assumed to be the n row) that the result, then infers present columns for being, and evaluate that to estimate the position on first be that n is listed as (shown in equation (2)), and jump to step 63.If not, then do not export and estimate the position on first, and make epigraph counting IMAGE_U_cnt reset to zero, and rebound substep 611, up to the assessment of finishing search area.
IF(IMAGE_U_cnt>reg_H_IMAGE)
return(n) (2)
Step 62: each group data (in the present embodiment, each group refers to each row) of search area are gone up in 212 assessments of this cover side comparator, infer which row the cover side ends at, with export a representative graph as initial row second on estimate the position.Preferably, step 61 and step 62 are to carry out simultaneously.
And step 62 comprises following substep:
Substep 621: this cover side comparator 212 calculates the number of pixels that is assessed as the cover side in the present columns certificate.When the relation in a similar difference reg_ALIKE and a totally different difference reg_DIFFER of this present characteristic value C and the difference of contiguous characteristic value L, D satisfies equation (3), the pixel that represents the present characteristic value C of this correspondence is close with the left pixel feature, and it is totally different with the downside pixel characteristic, so the assessment respective pixel is the cover side pixel, at this moment, this cover side comparator 212 makes on one cover side counting BLANK_U_cnt add 1.
IF((|C-L|≤reg_ALIKE)&&(|C-D|≥reg_DIFFER))
BLANK_U_cnt++ (3)
Substep 622: this cover side comparator 212 is relatively gone up cover side counting BLANK_U_cnt and whether is judged reg_H_BLANK (as: number of pixels of each columns certificate 3/4) more than or equal to a horizontal cover side, estimates the position on second to infer.
Row may be the cover side end columns if the result, then infers n for being, and evaluate that to estimate the position on second be that n+1 is listed as (shown in equation (4)), and jump to step 63.If not, then do not export and estimate the position on second, and make hypograph counting IMAGE_D_cnt reset to zero, and rebound substep 621, up to the assessment of finishing search area.
IF(BLANK_U_cnt≥reg_H_BLANK)
return(n+1) (4)
Step 63: in the processing procedure of last search area, this determining device 213 is by the row ground heddle should wait comparator 211,212 supposition to decide a representative graph as the last rough estimate position ROUGH_U of initial row.Its supposition situation has three:
Situation one: estimate the position on first when this determining device 213 receives, just it is considered as rough estimate position ROUGH_U, and does not consider to estimate on second position; This also means, estimates the position on these if receive simultaneously, still can upgrade to estimate the position on first.
Situation two: not estimating the position on second when this determining device 213 does not receive to estimate the position on first and receive, is to be used as estimate the position on second as rough estimate position ROUGH_U;
Situation three: when the both does not receive, then do not upgrade rough estimate position ROUGH_U, and jump to step 65.
Execution reason that it should be noted that situation one has two.The one, when handling present row (n row), estimate position (set up equation (2), (4)) on first and second if receive simultaneously, this equivalence will be n and n+1 respectively.For last search area, what wish to obtain is the initial row of image that early occur, so be output to estimate the position on first.
If another be because n capable be pure red image and when differing greatly with the capable pixel characteristic of n+1, cover side comparator 212 may be judged n behavior cover side end column by accident.But so long as the big multipotency of general pattern is set up equation (1), (2), so the confidence level of Image Comparator 211 is higher.Therefore, estimate the position in the present embodiment employing first and upgrade rough estimate position ROUGH_U.
Step 64: on this confirmation unit 31 confirm rough estimate position ROUGH_U on this whether be really the initial row of representative image one on accurate location EXACT_U.
Consult Fig. 6, and the affirmation program package of step 64 is drawn together following substep:
Substep 641: upward whether rough estimate position ROUGH_U is reasonable in confirmation unit 31 assessments on this.If not, then keep accurate location EXACT_U, and jump to step 65; If then jump to substep 642.
One of this last confirmation unit 31 may be implemented aspect and be, for example, in an application-specific, approximately go since the 26th of a picture in the known image position, and upward position reasonable value reg_REASON_U is 20 in the confirmation unit reception one, is only the picture position of reasonable detection afterwards to represent the 20th row.If the last rough estimate position ROUGH_U that receives is 9, then be judged as unreasonable.
And another may to implement aspect be that confirmation unit 31 has a pixel averager on this, can do the present characteristic value C of columns certificate to add overall average.If not belonging to image according to mean value, the corresponding columns of last rough estimate position ROUGH_U (just do not fall within maximum and minimum cover side value reg_BLANK Max, reg_BLANK MinThe scope that defines), then should go up confirmation unit 31 is judged as unreasonable.
Substep 642: confirmation unit 31 judges whether go up rough estimate position ROUGH_U is same as the confirmed accurate location EXACT_U of going up on this.If then keep accurate location EXACT_U, and jump to step 65.If not, then jump to substep 643.
Substep 643: go up confirmation unit 31 and judge whether go up rough estimate position ROUGH_U is same as tentative position on.If not, keep accurate location EXACT_U, and above rough estimate position ROUGH_U is the tentative position TEMP_U that goes up after upgrading, and to make a tentative counting be zero, and jump to step 65; If jump to substep 644.
Substep 644: confirmation unit 31 judges whether to fix tentatively the metering critical value greater than one by tentative counting on this.If not, then keep accurate location EXACT_U, and the tentative counting of order adds 1; If serve as last accurate location EXACT_U after upgrading with tentative position on this then.
Step 65: repeating step 61 carries out the last searching procedure of next picture to step 64, stops to receive this video flowing up to this image detection device.
Execution in step 64 is because possibility determining device 213 receives the value instability of rough estimate position ROUGH_U at every turn, so when this value unusual fluctuation, to the value after unusual fluctuation metering again.During greater than tentative metering critical value, just formal the renewal gone up accurate location EXACT_U for going up rough estimate position ROUGH_U up to the continuous frequency of occurrence of same sizes values.
Following search method
And the following search method of first preferred embodiment of image detecting method of the present invention detects down the image end column of search area.
Step 61 ' be that Image Comparator 221 is inferred present group (in the present embodiment by the calculating of image pixel number (being hypograph counting IMAGE_D_cnt), group refers to the n row at present) whether be image column, estimate position (n row) for one first time to export, as equation (5), (6).And can carry out whole search area down and detect, to obtain the image end column.
IF((C>reg_BLANK max)||(C<reg_BLANK min))
IMAGE_D_cnt++ (5)
IF(IMAGE_D_cnt>reg_H_IMAGE)
save(n) (6)
Step 62 ' be that cover side comparator 222 is inferred present group (in the present embodiment by the calculating of cover side number of pixels (namely descending cover side counting BLANK_D_cnt), group refers to the n row at present) whether be the initial row in cover side, estimate position (n-1 row) for one second time to export, as equation (7), (8).
IF((|C-L|≤reg_ALIKE)&&(|C-U|≥reg_DIFFER))
BLANK_D_cnt++ (7)
IF(BLANK_D_cnt≥reg_H_BLANK)
save(n-1) (8)
And step 63 ' the start of determining device 223 similar in appearance to the determining device 213 of step 63, this is based on for following search area, what hope obtained is the image end column of later appearance, and whether Image Comparator 221 assessment is that the confidence level of image pixel is higher, so serve as preferentially to export to estimate the position on first.In addition, much more no longer the affirmation mode of this time confirmation unit 32 with upward confirmation unit 31 is identical, so to explain.
A left side/right search method
It is the position that replaces characteristic value C, D, L in the search area with the position of characteristic value C, R, U respectively in left search area.And be the position of characteristic value C, U, L in the search area under position with characteristic value C, L, U replaces respectively in right search area.And be to realize with respect to the mode of last/following search method with 45 degree mirrors, so do not repeat them here.
Second preferred embodiment
A left side/right the search method that is different from first preferred embodiment is adopted in second preferred embodiment, at this, explains with regard to left search method earlier.
Left side search method
Step 64 " similar first preferred embodiment of start of left confirmation unit 33, search the start of unit 23 (step 61 "~step 63 ") so this paragraph is only introduced a left side.Wherein, step 61 " Image Comparator 231 in order to infer which image originates in; step 62 " cover side comparator 232 in order to inferring which the cover side ends at, and step 63 " determining device 233 comprehensive these comparators 231,232 supposition come rough estimate image initial row.
This Image Comparator 231 be based on characteristic value C in maximum cover side value reg_BLANK MaxWith minimum cover side value reg_BLANK MinRelation, assess each group data (each group refer to each row) in the present embodiment, of left search area to infer which image originates in.Its pixel pointwise along present columns certificate detects, up to (C>reg_BLANK Max) || (C<reg_BLANK Min) establishment or the end of left search area, the pointwise that namely stops to be listed as at present detects, and relatively is somebody's turn to do establishment position and supposition picture position, a left side, and manner of comparison is as follows:
Situation 1: infer the picture position when setting up the position less than a left side, make that a left picture count IMAGE_L_cnt is 1, and upgrade the left side that present picture recorded and infer the picture position to set up the position;
Situation 2: when this two position equates, make left picture count IMAGE_L_cnt add 1, and keep the supposition picture position, a left side that present picture has recorded;
Situation 3: when greater than the time, make left picture count IMAGE_L_cnt subtract 1, and keep the left side that present picture recorded and infer the picture position.But, be 0 if subtract 1 back gained, this Image Comparator 231 can reset to 1 with left picture count IMAGE_L_cnt, and upgrades the supposition picture position, a left side that present picture has recorded to set up the position.
Then, whether more left picture count IMAGE_L_cnt judges reg_V_IMAGE greater than a vertical image.If comparative result is for being, this Image Comparator 231 also more present picture is inferred the picture position with the left side of previous picture, and the smaller is as updating value in selection, and updating value is considered as one first left side estimates the position, and to produce one be the first left useful signal of 1 value.If comparative result is then kept the left side of previous picture and inferred the picture position for not, and to make this first left useful signal be 0.
On the other hand, this cover side comparator 232 be based on characteristic value C, U, R in similar difference reg_ALIKE, totally different difference reg_DIFFER and one with reference to cover side value reg_BLANK RefRelation, assess each group data (each group refer to each row) in the present embodiment, of left search area to infer which the cover side ends at.Roughly the same with the start of this Image Comparator 231, difference be in the pointwise testing conditions be (| the ﹠amp of C-U|≤reg_ALIKE); ﹠amp; (| the ﹠amp of C-R| 〉=reg_DIFFER); ﹠amp; (C<reg_BLANK Ref), and be updating value to be added 1 just export one second left side and estimate the position at last, and export the second left useful signal of a correspondence.
And these determining device 233 comprehensive these comparators 231,232 output infer that a representative graph is as the left rough estimate position ROUGH_L of initial row.Its supposition situation has four:
Situation one: when these left useful signals were 1, the position was estimated on comparison first left side and the position is estimated on second left side, and the smaller is used as left rough estimate position ROUGH_L to choose wherein;
Situation two: when the first and second left useful signals were respectively 1,0, estimating the position with first left side was left rough estimate position ROUGH_L;
Situation three: when the first and second left useful signals are respectively 0,1, be left rough estimate position ROUGH_L with the second left useful signal;
Situation four: when both are 0, keep original left rough estimate position ROUGH_L.
Can be found by above description, the first left useful signal, the second left useful signal and left rough estimate position ROUGH_L upgrade with less probable value, this is because for left search area, and what hope obtained is the image initial row that early occurs, just more near this picture left side limit person.
Moreover the right unit 24 of searching is to handle these characteristic values U, C, L with the symmetric mode of searching unit 23 with a left side, and for inference getting the persond having ordinary knowledge in the technical field of the present invention, so do not repeat them here.
In sum, position of the present invention image detection device is only by a column buffer 4 auxiliary realizations, and use these to search unit 21,22,23,24 and analyze video content and whether be image, and verified with these confirmation units 31,32,33,34, make recognition mechanism more rigorous, so can reach purpose of the present invention really.
The above person of thought, it only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, when not limiting scope of the invention process with this, namely the simple equivalent of doing according to claim scope of the present invention and invention description content generally changes and modifies, and all still belongs in the scope that claim of the present invention contains.
