Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a vehicle rear-end collision prevention reminding method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the vehicle rear-end collision prevention reminding method according to the embodiment includes:
and step S101, acquiring continuous images acquired by a binocular camera installed right behind the vehicle, wherein the binocular camera comprises two cameras with intervals.
The vehicle rear-end collision prevention reminding method provided by the embodiment is used for realizing rear-end collision prevention reminding of a vehicle, namely reminding the risk that other vehicles behind the vehicle collide with the vehicle, so that the driving safety of the vehicle is improved. The vehicle rear-end collision prevention reminding method provided by the embodiment can be applied to any vehicle. Since commercial vehicles such as large buses, heavy trucks and container trailers have long vehicle lengths, the blind area of the field of vision behind the vehicles is also large, and therefore, the vehicle rear-end collision prevention reminding method provided by the embodiment can be preferably applied to the commercial vehicles with long vehicle lengths.
The current scheme for preventing rear-end collision of vehicles mainly focuses on preventing rear-end collision of vehicles in the forward direction, and for preventing rear-end collision of vehicles in the backward direction, passive safety devices such as anti-collision warning boards, anti-collision beams and reflective strips which are arranged at the rear of the vehicles are mainly used, and no scheme for actively preventing rear-end collision is provided. In this embodiment, through installing the binocular camera directly behind the vehicle, through the parallax principle of binocular camera, detect the other vehicles in vehicle rear to realize preventing the rear-end collision behind the vehicle.
First, a binocular camera is required to be installed right behind a vehicle, the binocular camera is a camera including two cameras, and a certain distance is provided between the two cameras of the binocular camera. Two cameras in the binocular camera can realize image acquisition respectively. In order to prevent rear-end collision of the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle needs to be continuously detected, and then continuous images collected by a binocular camera installed right behind the vehicle need to be acquired. The continuous images acquired by the binocular camera may be acquired with an acquisition period, which may be, for example, 0.1 second or other acquisition periods.
And S102, processing continuous images acquired by the binocular camera based on a parallax principle, and determining the backward collision early warning time when the vehicle collides with the vehicle.
Because a certain distance is reserved between the two cameras of the binocular cameras, the distance is a fixed value, and the images collected by each camera are collected from the visual angle of each camera. Then, the images acquired by the two cameras are different from each other, and for an object behind the vehicle, the distance measurement is performed on the object according to the images acquired by the two cameras, so that distance data from the two cameras to the object are obtained respectively. The two cameras and the object are connected into a triangle as three vertexes of the triangle, and the distance data between the two cameras and the object and the distance between the two cameras are respectively three side lengths of the triangle. Then the distance between the vehicle and an object behind the vehicle can be calculated by simple trigonometric function calculation. And the binocular camera acquires continuous images with a fixed period, so that the continuous distance change between the vehicle and the rear object can be obtained by performing distance measurement processing on each image in the continuous images, and the speed of the rear object relative to the vehicle can be determined.
Generally, when a vehicle is in a driving state, a need exists for a rear-end collision prevention reminder, and other vehicles may collide with the rear end of the driving vehicle. Therefore, for a vehicle with a rear-end collision prevention reminder, called as a host vehicle, it is necessary to perform early warning judgment on whether there is a risk that another vehicle behind the host vehicle will collide with the host vehicle. Then the continuous images collected by the binocular camera are processed, such as determining the distance and speed information between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle. After the distance and speed information between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle are determined, whether the vehicle behind the vehicle is possible to rear-end the vehicle can be determined, and the time required for the vehicle behind the vehicle to rear-end the vehicle can be calculated and is called the rear collision early warning time of the vehicle. The backward collision early warning time of the vehicle is the speed of the backward vehicle when the distance between the backward vehicle and the vehicle is equal to the speed of the backward vehicle, and the backward collision early warning time of the vehicle can be obtained.
In an embodiment, the sequential images collected by the binocular camera are processed based on the parallax principle, and the backward collision early warning time when the vehicle collides with the vehicle backward is determined, which may be as follows: determining the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle based on the parallax principle for each image in the continuous images; calculating the speed of the vehicle behind the vehicle according to the acquisition time interval of the continuous images and the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle in the continuous images; and calculating the backward collision early warning time when the vehicle collides with the vehicle from the back of the vehicle according to the speed of the vehicle from the back of the vehicle and the distance from the vehicle.
Namely, each image in the continuous images collected by the binocular camera is subjected to image recognition, and whether a vehicle exists in each image is firstly recognized. The image recognition is performed on the single-line image to determine whether the vehicle exists therein, and any image recognition method can be adopted for processing, which is not described herein again. Then, for the image recognized to contain the vehicle, the distance between the vehicle behind the host vehicle and the host vehicle is determined based on the parallax principle. And then, for the continuous images, calculating the speed of the vehicle behind the vehicle according to the acquisition time interval of the continuous images and the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle in the continuous images, and finally calculating the rear collision early warning time for the vehicle to collide with the vehicle according to the speed of the vehicle behind the vehicle and the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle.
For each image in the continuous images, the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle is determined based on the parallax principle, and the following method can be adopted: for each image in the continuous images, respectively calculating the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the camera in the images collected by two cameras in the binocular cameras; and calculating the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle through a trigonometric function according to the distance between the two cameras of the binocular cameras and the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the cameras calculated according to the images collected by the two cameras.
In the following, a detailed description is given of a method for processing continuous images acquired by a binocular camera based on a parallax principle in the vehicle rear-end collision prevention reminding method provided by the embodiment of the invention. First, each image in the continuous images collected by the binocular camera needs to be processed, each image collected by the binocular camera actually includes images collected by two cameras respectively, for example, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is an original binocular image collected by the binocular camera, and includes a left image and a right image, which are images collected by two cameras of the binocular camera respectively, as can be seen from fig. 2, the images collected by the two cameras of the binocular camera are basically the same, and only because the positions of the two cameras have a certain distance, elements in the images have a certain position deviation. And then, carrying out image recognition on images collected by two cameras of the binocular cameras to determine whether a vehicle exists.
If the vehicle exists, the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the camera in the images collected by the two cameras is calculated respectively, and the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle behind the vehicle is calculated through a trigonometric function according to the distance between the two cameras and the distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the camera calculated according to the images collected by the two cameras. The specific calculation method is shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic view of binocular disparity calculation, and in fig. 3, O is set1And O2For the positions of two cameras in a binocular camera, T is O1And O2The distance between the two cameras, i.e. the distance between the two cameras. P is an object to be measured, that is, the position of the vehicle behind the host vehicle identified in the image, and the position of P may be the position of the point at which the vehicle behind the host vehicle is closest to the host vehicle. For the sake of convenience of calculation, the position of the vehicle rearward of the host vehicle is abstracted to one point, and if there are a plurality of points closest to the host vehicle rearward of the host vehicle, the center of the plurality of closest points may be the position of P. The distance between the vehicle behind the vehicle and the vehicle is Z. In the image collected by each camera, the distance from each camera to the measured point P can be obtained, and the central position of each image can be determinedThe position of the camera is determined by an image processing method. The camera O1The distance from P is x1, and the camera O2The distance from P is set to x2, then triangle O is known1O2The length of the three sides of the P can be determined by simple trigonometric function calculation.
And step S103, if the backward collision early warning time is less than a preset safe collision time threshold value, sending collision warning information to a driver interaction terminal of the vehicle.
After the backward collision early warning time when the vehicle collides with the vehicle is determined, that is, how long the vehicle can collide with the vehicle after the vehicle still runs at the current speed and direction is determined. If the time is long, the driver of the vehicle behind the host vehicle may be in a normal driving state. If the time is short, the driver of the vehicle behind the vehicle may be in an abnormal driving state, and if the driver does not take measures in time, a rear-end collision accident may occur. A time-to-collision-safe threshold may thus be set, which may be set as desired. The threshold value of the safe collision time can be a dynamic value, and the corresponding threshold value between the safe collisions is determined according to the speed of the vehicle behind the vehicle, wherein the threshold value between the safe collisions is shorter when the speed of the vehicle behind the vehicle is higher, and the threshold value between the safe collisions is longer when the speed of the vehicle behind the vehicle is lower.
If the backward collision early warning time is smaller than the preset safe collision time threshold, the possibility of rear-end collision of the vehicle backward is indicated, and at the moment, collision warning information can be sent to the driver interaction terminal of the vehicle. The driver interaction terminal of the vehicle can be a terminal device arranged in a cab of the vehicle, and the terminal device can send interaction information to the driver. After the driver interaction terminal acquires the collision warning information, the collision warning information is sent to the driver through at least one of the warning modes such as voice, characters, light and the like. For example, the driver interaction terminal of the host vehicle may play audio rear-end collision warning information (e.g., "rear vehicle may collide with the rear end"), flash warning lights in a cab, or display warning information on a screen of the driver interaction terminal of the host vehicle (e.g., display related information and warning information of the rear vehicle of the host vehicle by means of images and characters). After the driver learns the collision warning information through the driver interaction terminal, the driver can learn that the rear end of the driver is likely to be collided with by other vehicles, the driver can avoid collision in the ways of changing lanes, accelerating and the like, and can remind the driver of the vehicle in the second way by turning on an emergency light, whistling and the like.
The method for reminding the rear-end collision of the vehicle comprises the steps of firstly obtaining continuous images collected by a binocular camera arranged right behind the vehicle, wherein the binocular camera comprises two cameras with intervals, then processing the continuous images collected by the binocular camera based on a parallax principle, determining the rear collision early warning time when the vehicle collides the vehicle behind the vehicle, and sending collision warning information to a driver interaction terminal of the vehicle if the rear collision early warning time is smaller than a preset safe collision time threshold value.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of another vehicle rear-end collision prevention reminding method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 4, the vehicle rear-end collision prevention reminding method according to the embodiment includes:
step S401, acquiring continuous images collected by a binocular camera installed right behind the vehicle, wherein the binocular camera comprises two cameras with a distance.
And S402, processing the continuous images acquired by the binocular camera based on the parallax principle, and determining the backward collision early warning time when the vehicle collides with the vehicle.
And step S403, if the backward collision early warning time is less than the preset safe collision time threshold, sending collision warning information to the driver interaction terminal of the vehicle.
And S404, if the backward collision early warning time is less than the preset safe collision time threshold, displaying collision warning prompt information on a warning display device arranged right behind the vehicle.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, if it is determined that the backward collision warning time between the vehicle backward and the vehicle is less than the preset safe collision time after the continuous images are collected by the binocular camera, collision warning information is sent to the driver interaction terminal of the vehicle, that is, the collision warning information is provided to the driver of the vehicle. However, when a rear-end collision accident occurs, the main body of the collision accident is a vehicle located in the rear direction, and therefore, the warning of a rear-end vehicle which may cause a rear-end collision to the vehicle is more important. Therefore, the warning display device may be installed behind the vehicle, and the backward display device may be a display device having a display function of light, characters, images, or the like. When the backward collision warning time is less than the preset safe collision time threshold, the collision warning prompt message may be displayed on a warning display device installed right behind the host vehicle (for example, a word "will end the tail |" may be displayed on the warning display device). Therefore, the warning information can be sent to the vehicle behind the vehicle, so that a driver of the vehicle behind the vehicle can know the potential safety hazard of rear-end collision, and the rear-end collision accidents can be avoided by adopting modes of speed reduction, lane changing and the like.
