Accompanying drawing explanation
Fig. 1 is the process flow diagram that the present invention prevents the pedestrian detection method of pedestrian impact.
Embodiment
Below by embodiment, the present invention is described in further detail.
The present invention obtains the realtime graphic of vehicle front by the camera be installed on above automobile, require to extract area-of-interest in the picture according to prevention pedestrian impact, then a series of image procossing and computing are carried out to extracted region, realize the detection of pedestrian and pre-anticollision.
Enforcement of the present invention comprises the following steps:
Step one, gather vehicle front image, front realtime graphic is gathered by the camera (such as infrared CCD camera or CMOS camera) be arranged on automobile, and image is suitably processed, such as according to the needs of data layout, convert the image of acquisition to single channel gray level image, to meet the requirement of database format, serrating operation and histogram equalization operation are gone to image.
Step 2, extract the area-of-interest of pedestrian, the positional information that may collide based on pedestrian in the realtime graphic gathered is estimated, can not occur that the image that pedestrian and pedestrian are not in hazardous location is not counted in detection to part, such as remove sky and the ground scene of image top and the bottom pixel, and the road both sides scene of image left-right parts pixel, thus the area-of-interest of setting pedestrian, only in more among a small circle, search for pedestrian, reduce image procossing area, thus minimizing data processing amount, improve algorithm real-time.
Step 3, carries out piecemeal to image, resets area-of-interest.Image is divided into equal some pieces, has overlapping region between block and block, overlapping region is roughly 5-10m pedestrian far away size in the picture.Wherein one piece of region is only processed to each frame input picture, each block of circular treatment.The method substantially increases the real-time of algorithm.As shown in Figure 1, pretreated image is divided into two pieces of A and B, overlapping C can be had between block with block, two pieces of regions are respectively block A+C and block B+C, each frame detect only to wherein one piece carry out, each block of cycle detection, follows the tracks of the pedestrian detected in the area-of-interest after piecemeal, effectively raises the real-time of algorithm.
Step 4, carries out one times reducing to the region to be detected of each two field picture, i.e. area reduction 1/2 to be detected, minimum detection frame size also reducing in proportion, when not affecting testing result, decreasing the processing time of image, improve the real-time of algorithm; Timing signal reduction detection block size, namely expands and is twice.
Step 5, carries out pre-determined bit to pedestrian in the area-of-interest after piecemeal.According to the attitude information of pedestrian side under the special scenes that pedestrian crosses the street, training in advance is applicable to 12 grades of fisrt feature sorters that this scene pedestrian identifies, when locating pedestrian according to the pedestrian region, fisrt feature sorter location of training in advance, if no-fix to pedestrian region, then returns step one.This implementation step specifically comprises:
Rectangular characteristic template is adopted to travel through image, according to the fisrt feature sorter trained, pre-determined bit pedestrian region in interesting image regions.For making the fisrt feature sorter of side pedestrian, use Haar feature (i.e. rectangular characteristic template), adopt AdaBoost algorithm to a large amount of side pedestrian's samples and the training of non-pedestrian background sample, this fisrt feature sorter trains out on the basis of high number of row people sample and non-pedestrian background sample data, has stronger universality.
AdaBoost algorithm can extract the different feature of most in pedestrian's image from a large amount of pedestrian's sample gray level images, constructs one and has highly accurate pedestrian's fisrt feature sorter; Then, use the pedestrian Haar feature recorded in this fisrt feature sorter to carry out detection and positioning to pedestrian detection area-of-interest, thus obtain the pedestrian region of mating most.Utilize fisrt feature sorter and rectangular characteristic to carry out the location in pedestrian region, its judgment formula is
H ( x ) = sign ( Σ t = 1 T α t h t ( x ) )
Wherein, H (x) represents the expression formula of one-level strong classifier, and T represents the Weak Classifier number that one-level strong classifier comprises, h tx () represents the expression formula of t Weak Classifier, α trepresent the weight of t Weak Classifier.
Calculated input picture region by the cascade fisrt feature sorter of 12 grades, if every one-level all exports H (x)=1, then representative navigates to pedestrian region, if there is wherein one-level to export H (x)=0, then represents and pedestrian region do not detected.
Step 6, judges the pedestrian region of pre-determined bit.There is more flase drop in the pedestrian region of extracting in step 4, by carrying out HOG (histograms of oriented gradients) feature extraction to these regions, second feature sorter that is overall according to the pedestrian trained and local judges the feature extracted, remove flase drop region, thus accurately locate pedestrian region.If pedestrian do not detected, then return step one.This implementation step specifically comprises:
1) in order to better carry out feature extraction to pre-determined bit pedestrian region to be checked, all pre-determined bit pedestrian regions to be checked can be expanded or are contracted to formed objects, such as the pedestrian's area size after all pre-determined bit is set to 64*128 fixed size, the detection block of 64*128 size comprises the block of 105 16*16 sizes, block and interblock have overlapping, the each piece of feature being expressed as 36 dimensions, the whole detection block proper vectors of 3780 dimensions describe, and calculate its 3780 dimensional feature vector.
2) according to the second feature sorter trained, the feature of each extracted region to be checked is judged, determines pedestrian region.For making the second feature sorter of side pedestrian, HOG feature extraction is carried out to a large amount of side pedestrian's samples and non-pedestrian background sample, adopt SVM algorithm, libsvm training tool is used to obtain SVM (Support Vector Machines, support vector machine) weights and threshold, i.e. the second feature sorter of side pedestrian.Second feature sorter provides weight w and threshold value b.Utilize second feature sorter and the required 3780 dimension regions of HOG feature x to pre-determined bit to judge, detecting pedestrian, its judgment formula is
f ( x ) = sgn { ( w · x ) + b } = sgn { Σ i = 1 n λ i y i ( x i · x ) + b }
Wherein, (w, b) represents the weight that second feature sorter provides and threshold value, and x represents the proper vector of input, and n is the support vector number of second feature sorter, (x i, y i) represent i-th support vector, λ ifor Lagrange coefficient.
If f (x)=1, then represent and be detected as pedestrian.
3) the present invention also takes the method that local feature judges pedestrian, pedestrian is divided into head, above the waist, foot areas, respectively these three regions are combined and specify the training of people from partial row sample, obtain this trizonal sorter respectively, pre-determined bit pedestrian region is judged.
Step 7, follows the tracks of the pedestrian detected.After step 6 accurately orients pedestrian region, carrying out following the tracks of to pedestrian can the real-time of boosting algorithm greatly, is also that of step 3 section thinking supplements simultaneously.Such as the pedestrian region of the previous frame image detected is made the pedestrian's area-of-interest as this two field picture after suitably expanding, re-use step 4 method and detect.
Also can carry out integrogram calculating to image when step 5 adopts rectangular characteristic template to travel through image, integrogram is calculated as follows described in formula:
S ( u , v ) = ∫ x = 0 u ∫ y = 0 v I ( x , y ) dxdy
Therefore namely the traversal of rectangular characteristic template is carry out on obtained integral image, on integral image, the gray-scale value of every bit equals in original image with the gray scale summation that initial point and this point are the rectangular area to angle point, obtain each rectangular characteristic value thus, namely the eigenwert of rectangular characteristic template refers to rectangle the first half of rectangular characteristic template position and the gray scale difference of the latter half.
The present invention is by adopting the pedestrian on pedestrian detection of classifier road, and the personal feature between fuzzy pedestrian, decreases the impact of individuality difference on testing result, decrease the impact of illumination on testing result simultaneously, improve the detection efficiency of pedestrian.Simultaneously by adopting the pedestrian of crossing road on the pedestrian's attitude detection of classifier road of side, for specific application scenarios, decreasing the non-impact of crossing road pedestrian and differentiating of different attitude, improve algorithm and differentiate row human effectiveness and real-time.
Above content is in conjunction with concrete embodiment further description made for the present invention, can not assert that specific embodiment of the invention is confined to these explanations.For general technical staff of the technical field of the invention, without departing from the inventive concept of the premise, some simple deduction or replace can also be made, all should be considered as belonging to protection scope of the present invention.
