Specific embodiment
Each preferred embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to accompanying drawings.It provides referring to the drawings Description, to help the understanding to example embodiment of the invention as defined by appended claims and their equivalents.It includes side The various details of assistant's solution, but they can only be counted as illustratively.Therefore, it would be recognized by those skilled in the art that Embodiment described herein can be made various changes and modifications, without departing from scope and spirit of the present invention.Moreover, in order to Keep specification more clear succinct, by omission pair it is well known that the detailed description of function and construction.
Firstly, information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described referring to Fig.1.The information processing method application Three-dimensional map in an information processing equipment, in the information processing equipment comprising particular space environment is pre-created.Place Terminal device (e.g., robot) in the particular space environment can determine the position of oneself according to the three-dimensional map.
As shown in Figure 1, described method includes following steps:
Firstly, obtaining the image shot by the terminal device in step S101.Here image can be grayscale image Picture, naturally it is also possible to colored (RGB) image.
Then, in step S102, the characteristic point in described image is extracted, acquisition is retouched for characterizing the feature of the characteristic point State symbol.In general, characteristic point is typically selected to have the point of position characteristics, such as vertex or endpoint.There are many Feature Points Extraction, Such as Harris angle point, DOG extreme value etc..Since this is not directly related to the present invention, its details is not described in detail. Once it is determined that characteristic point, be in next step to the corresponding descriptor of each feature point extraction, with distinguish different characteristic point and With identical characteristic point.Ideal feature descriptor, which will meet, has centainly constant to scale, rotation, even affine etc. transformation Property;To insensitive for noise;There is good selectivity, that is, the feature descriptor correlation for corresponding to different characteristic points wants small, in this way Different characteristic points can just be efficiently differentiated.As example that is a kind of most simple and being easy to understand, the feature descriptor can be with It is the gray value of characteristic point.
Next, in step S103, depth information in position and described image based on the terminal device obtains institute State the three-dimensional position of characteristic point.Here, it should be noted that premise of the invention is that specific environment has been completed dimensionally Figure and the further creation of feature database, the terminal device can pass through the characteristic point and feature database in the image of itself shooting In characteristic point matching to determine the position where itself.Since this is not directly related to the present invention, to its details It is not described in detail.Here the position of the terminal device obtained is the three-dimensional coordinate under global coordinate system.It is set according to terminal The described image of standby shooting and depth information wherein included, can obtain each characteristic point using the terminal device as coordinate Position under the local coordinate system of origin.Herein on basis, in conjunction with the terminal device global coordinate system under three-dimensional sit Mark, can be by three-dimensional coordinate of each characteristic point in the case where the three-dimensional coordinate transformation under local coordinate system is global coordinate system.
Then, it in step S104, determines the minimum space node in the particular space environment, that is, determines the specific sky Between spatial resolution in environment.That is, dividing the particular space environment with minimum space node.Certainly, here Minimum space node be the space with the designated volume of corresponding three-dimensional coordinate.Details in relation to minimum space node will It is described later on.
After step S104 determines minimum space node, processing proceeds to step S105.In step S105, according to The three-dimensional position of step S103 each characteristic point obtained determines that minimum space node is belonging to each characteristic point to be clustered, Obtain all feature descriptors that minimum space inter-node is included.Specifically, it is assumed that minimum space node a is eight endpoints Respectively cube of (0,0,0), (0,0,1), (0,1,0), (0,1,1), (1,0,0), (1,1,0), (1,1,1), (1,0,1) Body, i.e. side length are 1 and an endpoint is located at the cube of coordinate origin, if that there are three characteristic points, three-dimensional position Respectively (1,1,0), (1/2,1/2,1/4), (0,1,1), then these three characteristic points are all fallen in minimum space node a, i.e., this Minimum space node belonging to three characteristic points is minimum space node a, and by these three feature points clusterings to minimum space Node a.At this time, it may be necessary to, it is noted that although the position of these three characteristic points is not identical, after cluster, by these three The three-dimensional position of characteristic point sees an identical three-dimensional position as, for example, regarding the central point of minimum space node a as (1/2,1/2,1/2).Also, feature descriptor corresponding to these three characteristic points regards the feature of minimum space node a as Descriptor.
Finally, managing each minimum space node based on specific data structure in step S106.For example, pipe described here Reason may include retrieval, maintenance, increase, deletion etc..
In a flow diagram in figure 1, it illustrates only in a characteristic point of one place and the clustering processing of feature descriptor. The feature database of the three-dimensional map of entire space environment can by multiple and different positions, repeatedly step S101~S106 and It is continuously updated.
For example, the specific data structure can be tree.By managing each minimum space node with tree, Compared with ordinary construction, desired locations can be retrieved more quickly, to extract feature descriptor therein or update therein Feature descriptor, and existing feature database can be extended simplerly.
More specifically, the specific data structure is octree structure.The data structure of Octree indicates method by sky Between position enumerative technique develop, be a kind of hierarchical data structure.Fig. 2A -2B respectively illustrate Octree space structure and Tree-like storage form.The external square of minimum of space environment is constructed first.As shown in Figure 2 A, maximum cube can regard sky as Between environment the external square of minimum.It corresponds to Fig. 2 B, the external cube of minimum of the particular space environment is eight fork The root node of tree construction.Then the external cube of the minimum is divided into identical first sub-cube of eight sizes as described in Each of eight first sub-cubes, are then divided into eight size phases respectively by eight first order child nodes of root node Eight second level child nodes of the second same sub-cube as the first order child node repeat such segmentation until minimum Until the node of space.In fig. 2, the small cubes for being denoted as black are minimum space node.
In addition, for child nodes at different levels, it is understood that there may be three kinds of states.The first state, as indicated in Fig. 2 B with black Shown in box, to include the one or more features point clustered in the step S105 being described above.Second of state is such as schemed With shown in the box of blank mark in 2B, to be not included in any one feature clustered in the above step S105 Point.The third state, as with shown in stain, being undeveloped space node in Fig. 2 B.
The case where for ease of description and drawing, illustrating only three-level segmentation in figs. 2a, 2b.But the skill of this field For art personnel it should be understood that for actual particular space environment, the series of segmentation may be far longer than three-level.
As mentioned above it is possible, the tree based on Octree, the present invention devises feature database storage method, quickly to obtain The feature of local space is taken, convenient for retrieval and maintenance.In the feature database based on Octree, it may include at each space node Multiple feature descriptors.In order to adapt to diversified space characteristics demand, while the memory loss of control structure, by each node The quantity of the feature descriptor at place is limited to for example, N.That is, embodiment more preferably, after step S105 Further comprise following steps: among all feature descriptors of acquisition, selecting the feature descriptor of first threshold quantity.
In addition, way of example more preferably, each feature descriptor can have corresponding feature weight, use In the characteristic strength of indicative character descriptor, and as the foundation for updating feature descriptor.For example, the spy being described below When levying library update, the feature weight can be used for rejecting weaker feature descriptor.
For example, setting 0 for the weight of all feature descriptors when initial.As mentioned above it is possible, in robot self-localization In, it needs to match the characteristic point in the image of robot shooting with the characteristic point in the feature database of global map.If The successful number of Feature Points Matching in feature database is more, then this feature point turns out more useful, therefore by the spy of this feature point Sign weight increases with the increase of successful match number.Alternatively, distinction it is strong the corresponding weight of feature descriptor it is higher, i.e., Weight corresponding with the big feature descriptor of surrounding point difference is higher.Further, since longer there are the time, then its is corresponding reliable Property is lower, so that the feature weight that time longer feature descriptor will be present is arranged smaller.
As mentioned above it is possible, being only completed the primary building of feature database in step S101~S106.However, in order to adapt to The actual conditions of large scene and scene change, it is far from being enough that this feature library, which once constructs, it is also necessary to continuous to update and expand Exhibition.
On the basis of the feature database once constructed, can based on the image data newly obtained come to existing feature database into Row increases and/or deletes.Specifically, in the new close-perspective recording of terminal device for the another position being located in the particular space environment An image is taken the photograph.The processing similar with the above step S101~S105 is executed for the image, i.e. extraction characteristic point And characteristic point is clustered.Whether the description of feature corresponding to this feature point is increased for space node belonging to characteristic point Symbol, that is to say, that in the case where judging to exist for the specific node increased feature descriptor of needs, need to carry out as follows Determine processing.The first example of determination processing will be described in detail referring to Fig. 3.As shown in figure 3, firstly, judging in step S301 Increased feature descriptor is needed with the presence or absence of for specific node.If be judged as YES in step S301, processing proceeds to Step S302.In step S302, calculates separately feature descriptor to be increased and the existing each feature of the specific node describes Similarity between symbol.Wherein, if similarity is greater than second threshold, then it is assumed that the two is similar.Then, in step S303, sentence Break in existing each feature descriptor with the presence or absence of the spy for being greater than second threshold with the similarity of feature descriptor to be increased Levy descriptor.If be judged as YES in step S303, processing proceeds to step S304.In step S304, determine without increasing Add, to avoid invalid operation.On the other hand, if be judged as NO in step S303, it may be assumed that existing each feature descriptor not In the presence of feature descriptor similar with feature descriptor to be increased, then processing proceeds to step S305.In step S305, determine Increased.
However, there are in the case where the upper limit for the feature descriptor for including in each minimum space node, it is also necessary to further Determine whether the feature descriptor after increasing is more than the upper limit.If it exceeds the upper limit, then need to reject a part of feature descriptor. Next, the second example that determination processing will be described in detail referring to Fig. 4.
Specifically, as shown in figure 4, step S401~S404 is similar with step S301~S304 in Fig. 3.With Fig. 3 institute Unlike, having determined existing each feature descriptor, there is no feature similar with feature descriptor to be increased descriptions In the case where symbol, processing proceeds to step S405.In step S405, the feature descriptor at the specific node is further judged Quantity whether be less than first threshold, i.e. upper limit value.
If be judged as YES in step S405, that is, the quantity of the feature descriptor at the specific node has not yet been reached Limit, then processing proceeds to step S406.In step S406, determination is increased.
On the other hand, if be judged as NO in step S405, that is, the quantity of the feature descriptor at the specific node is Reached the upper limit, then processing proceeds to step S407.In step S407, the feature descriptor of the quantity beyond upper limit value is rejected.
Here it is possible to randomly reject the feature descriptor of the quantity beyond upper limit value among all feature descriptors. Certainly, this is not optimal embodiment.Embodiment more preferably, as mentioned above it is possible, each feature descriptor In the case where with corresponding feature weight, the existing each feature of specific node is replaced with feature descriptor to be increased and is retouched The smallest feature descriptor of feature weight in symbol is stated, and the weight of the feature descriptor newly increased is set as initial value.
As mentioned above it is possible, the detailed process for how realizing the real-time update of feature database is described in detail.Next, will Information processing equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention is described referring to Fig. 5.Information processing equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention is used for Three-dimensional map is pre-created to specific environment, in order to which the terminal device in the particular space environment can be according to described Three-dimensional map determines the position of oneself.
As shown in figure 5, the information processing equipment 500 includes: storage unit 501, communication unit 502, extraction unit 503, three-dimensional position determination unit 504, cluster cell 505 and control unit 506.
Storage unit 501 is for storing the three-dimensional map being pre-created.
Communication unit 502 obtains the image shot by the terminal device.
Extraction unit 503 extracts the characteristic point in described image, obtains the feature descriptor for characterizing the characteristic point. In general, characteristic point is typically selected to have the point of position characteristics, such as vertex or endpoint.Once it is determined that characteristic point, in next step It is to the corresponding descriptor of each feature point extraction, to distinguish different characteristic points and match identical characteristic point.
Depth information in position and described image of the three-dimensional position determination unit 504 based on the terminal device obtains The three-dimensional position of the characteristic point.
Cluster cell 505 determines the minimum space node in the particular space environment, and true according to the three-dimensional position The three-dimensional position for each characteristic point that order member obtains, determines that minimum space node belonging to each characteristic point is obtained to be clustered All feature descriptors that minimum space inter-node is included.
Control unit 506 makes the storage unit 501 be based on each minimum space node of specific data structure management.Example Such as, management described here may include retrieval, maintenance, increase, deletion etc..
For example, the specific data structure can be tree.By managing each minimum space node with tree, Compared with ordinary construction, desired locations can be retrieved more quickly, to extract feature descriptor therein or update therein Feature descriptor, and existing feature database can be extended simplerly.
More specifically, the tree is octree structure, and wherein outside the minimum of the particular space environment The root node that cube is the octree structure is connect, the external cube of the minimum is then divided into eight sizes identical the Eight first order child nodes of one sub-cube as the root node, then respectively each in eight the first sub-cubes A eight second level child nodes for being divided into identical second sub-cube of eight sizes as the first order child node repeat Such segmentation is until minimum space node.
In the feature database based on Octree, it may include multiple feature descriptors at each space node.In order to adapt to Diversified space characteristics demand, while the memory loss of control structure, the quantity of the feature descriptor at each node is limited It is made as example, N.Therefore, embodiment more preferably, the information processing equipment 500 may further include: selection is single Member 507, for selecting the feature of first threshold quantity to retouch among all feature descriptors that the cluster cell 505 obtains State symbol.
In addition, way of example more preferably, the information processing equipment 500 be may further include: weighting is single Member 508, for assigning corresponding feature weight for each feature descriptor, the feature for being used to indicate feature descriptor is strong Degree.For example, weighted units 508 by the weight of all feature descriptors set 0 when initial.As mentioned above it is possible, in robot Characteristic point progress in self-positioning, in the feature database for the characteristic point and global map in image for needing to shoot in robot Match.If the successful number of Feature Points Matching in feature database is more, this feature point turns out more useful, therefore weighted units 508 increase the feature weight of this feature point with the increase of successful match number.Alternatively, weighted units 508 are by distinction The corresponding weight of strong feature descriptor is arranged higher, it may be assumed that by weight corresponding with the big feature descriptor of surrounding point difference It is arranged higher.Further, since longer there are the time, then its corresponding reliability is lower, thus when weighted units 508 will be present Between the feature weight of longer feature descriptor be arranged smaller.
In order to adapt to the actual conditions of large scene and scene change, this feature library once construct be it is far from being enough, also need It constantly to update and extend.It, can be based on the image data newly obtained come on the basis of the feature database once constructed Some feature databases are increased and/or are deleted.Specifically, at the end for the another position being located in the particular space environment End equipment has taken an image recently.It is single by extraction unit 503, three-dimensional position determination unit 504 and cluster for the image Member 505 is extracted characteristic point and is clustered to characteristic point.Whether this feature point institute is increased for space node belonging to characteristic point Corresponding feature descriptor, that is to say, that judging there is the case where increased feature descriptor is needed for specific node Under, control unit 506 needs to carry out following determine and handles: having calculated separately feature descriptor to be increased and the specific node The similarity between each feature descriptor having, wherein if similarity is greater than second threshold, then it is assumed that the two is similar.
If there is feature descriptor similar with feature descriptor to be increased in existing each feature descriptor, really Determine without increasing, to avoid invalid operation.On the other hand, if existing each feature descriptor be not present with it is to be increased The similar feature descriptor of feature descriptor, it is determined that increased.
However, the feature descriptor for including in each minimum space node is there are in the case where the upper limit, control unit 506 is also Need to further determine that whether the feature descriptor after increasing is more than the upper limit.If it exceeds the upper limit, then need to reject a part Feature descriptor.
Specifically, having determined existing each feature descriptor, there is no similar with feature descriptor to be increased In the case where feature descriptor, control unit 506 further judge the feature descriptor at the specific node quantity whether Less than first threshold, i.e. upper limit value.
If the judgment is Yes, that is, the upper limit has not yet been reached in the quantity of the feature descriptor at the specific node, it is determined that into Row increases.
On the other hand, if the judgment is No, that is, the quantity of the feature descriptor at the specific node has reached Limit then needs to reject the feature descriptor of the quantity beyond upper limit value.
Here it is possible to randomly reject the feature descriptor of the quantity beyond upper limit value among all feature descriptors. Certainly, this is not optimal embodiment.Embodiment more preferably, as mentioned above it is possible, each feature descriptor In the case where with corresponding feature weight, the existing each feature of specific node is replaced with feature descriptor to be increased and is retouched The smallest feature descriptor of feature weight in symbol is stated, and the weight of the feature descriptor newly increased is set as initial value.
Due to being handled in information processing equipment 500, performed by each unit and the above reality according to the present invention Each step applied in the information processing method of example is completely corresponding.Therefore, in order to avoid redundancy, no longer its details is unfolded to describe.
So far, information processing method and letter according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail referring to figs. 1 to Fig. 5 Cease processing equipment.In information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention and information processing equipment, proposed based on Octree Data structure suitable for 3d space feature database management.Data structure in this way, can more easily and fast manage and Feature database is updated, and self-positioning algorithm can be enhanced to the adaptability of environmental change.
