Embodiment
Although the present invention can realize with various forms of embodiment, but it is shown in the drawings and described preferred embodiment hereinafter, should be appreciated that simultaneously the disclosure should be regarded example of the present invention as, rather than intention limit the invention to illustrated specific embodiment.Be also to be understood that the title of this section of this instructions, that is, " embodiment " relates to the requirement of Patent Office of the People's Republic of China, rather than hint should not be inferred as the illustrated theme of restriction yet.
In the disclosure, word " a " or " an " be believed to comprise single and a plurality of the two.Otherwise, mention when a plurality of, also comprise single as required.
Fig. 1 illustrates the block diagram of configuration that the speed image of making according to each side of the present invention calculates the exemplary embodiments of device.Put it briefly, this speed image calculates device and comprises: filming apparatus, video memory, image stream determine that device, time shutter modifier, speed image calculate device.This speed image calculates device for example can also comprise that 1 pixel moves that pixels such as determining device moves definite device, 1 pixel moves modifier and monitor 5.
Filming apparatus can for example be a high-speed camera 1.Image stream can be determined that device, time shutter modifier, speed image calculate device and 1 pixel and move and determine that device for example is included in the storer 2 and microcomputer 3.Can constitute 1 pixel by for example camera control section 4 and move modifier.
Camera 1 is used for catching photographic images.Video memory 2 is converted to the intensity level of the image that camera 1 is caught digital value and preserves this digital value.3 pairs of images that are kept in the video memory 2 of microcomputer are handled, to calculate the speed image of turnover zone.Speed image is the amount of movement of the unit interval of turnover zone, and this turnover zone is the zone corresponding to the target that moves on image.
When computed image speed, microcomputer 3 also calculates the shutter speed of the camera 1 that will be set up, and then, this shutter speed is sent to camera control section 4.The shutter speed of camera control section 4 control cameras 1 is to obtain the shutter speed of microcomputer 3 indications.At this moment, determined the length of time shutter according to the speed of the electronic shutter of camera 1 or mechanical shutter.
The time shutter and the shutter speed of camera are inversely proportional to.Specifically, when the time shutter increased, shutter speed reduced.Otherwise the time shutter, shutter speed raise when reducing.Monitor 5 is used for showing image and the speed image information that is stored in video memory 2.
Fig. 2 illustrates the process flow diagram that carries out one group of step of exact image speed calculation according to first embodiment of the invention.At first, at S101, filming apparatus obtains photographic images, and in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, filming apparatus is a high-speed camera 1.Then, at S102, when image stream occurring in the photographic images, extract the image stream district.
In present embodiment of the present invention, a pixel refers to constitute the least unit of an image.Image stream for example is meant between camera 1 exposure period, the flowing of the so-called image that the photographic subjects object has occurred when having moved one or more pixel.For example, the pedestrian is under the situation that vehicle is run previously, and perhaps under the situation when the vehicle that travels is caught the image of front continuously, the object in the image may flow to peripheral from the center.
At S103, the time shutter in measurement image stream district.Then, at S104, determine the length of the time shutter in image stream district.If the time shutter is long, then carry out the processing of S105, if the time shutter is not oversize, then carry out the processing of S106.If the time shutter is oversize, then time shutter of camera 1 is reduced designated value at S105, then, return S101.If the time shutter is not oversize, then calculate the inverse of current time shutter at S106, with the speed in computed image stream district, then, return S101.
As mentioned above, because when image stream occurring in the photographic images, extract the image stream district, a plurality of photographic images of catching are handled so change the time shutter of camera 1.When image stream occurring, shorten the time shutter, and calculate the speed image of target according to the time shutter after shortening.Like this, even on screen, during high-speed mobile, also can calculate the speed image of this target when target.
(a) of Fig. 3 comprises to (f) how be used for graphic extension utilizes frequency analysis to calculate a series of figure of the example of accurate speed image.Fig. 3 (a) illustrates photographic images.The position 31 expression areas of observation coverage, and the object in 32 presentation videos of position.(b) of Fig. 3 illustrates and utilizes camera 1 to catch the shooting cycle of a two field picture.Frame is the unit of the image of catching corresponding to camera 1.(c) of Fig. 3 illustrates the time shutter of camera 1.Fig. 3 (d) illustrates photographic images #1 to #5.(e) of Fig. 3 illustrates the frequency analysis #1 to #5 corresponding to photographic images #1 to #5.Fig. 3 (f) is illustrated in the radio-frequency component that obtains among the frequency analysis #1 to #5 respectively.
If the time shutter is long, then when opening fast exposure gate, the object of high-speed mobile finally flows one more than the pixel.Therefore on the photographic images shown in the photographic images #1 to #3 in Fig. 3 (d) image stream appears finally.Yet, when the time shutter shortens, to open between the shutter exposure period, target no longer moves one more than the pixel.Therefore, can catch as photographic images #4 in Fig. 3 (d) and the image that does not have image stream shown in the #5.
When photographic images #1 to #5 being carried out frequency analysis, when having specific image stream on the photographic images, produce less radio-frequency component in the mode shown in Fig. 3 (e).Otherwise, when having less image stream on the photographic images, produce more radio-frequency component.
Shown in Fig. 3 (f), when not having image stream in the image, it is maximum that radio-frequency component reaches, and settle out (no longer changing).Therefore, can find the point that image stream no longer occurs by shortening the time shutter with iterative processing.The time shutter that the radio-frequency component that produces in radio-frequency component and last iteration is identical stops iterative processing.At this point, the time shutter equals object and moves the time that pixel is required.That is, the inverse of time shutter becomes the speed image of target.
Fig. 4 illustrates to reach the process flow diagram that above-described computing method are carried out one group of step of exact image speed calculation shown in (a) to (f) that utilizes Fig. 3.At first, at S201, obtain the photographic images of camera 1 (as shown in Figure 1) or other filming apparatus.Then,, in photographic images, select the area of observation coverage (referring to 31 among Fig. 3), when image stream occurring, extract the image stream district at S202.Then, at S203, (Fast Fourier transform, FFT) technology is carried out frequency analysis to the image stream district that is extracted, with the variation of observation radio-frequency component for example to utilize fast fourier transform.
At S204, judge whether radio-frequency component variation has taken place.For this reason, the radio-frequency component in the image stream district in the photographic images of given time shutter and the radio-frequency component in the image stream district in the photographic images of the time shutter after the use shortening are compared.If variable quantity is equal to or less than designated value, then carry out the processing of S205.If variable quantity greater than designated value, is then carried out the processing of S206.If variable quantity is equal to or less than designated value, then calculate the speed of the inverse of current time shutter with calculating high-speed mobile district at S205, enter S207 then.On the contrary, if variable quantity greater than designated value, then in the time shutter shortening designated value of S206 with camera 1, turns back to S201 then.At last,, on monitor 5, be presented at the suitable supervision indication of the speed image that S205 calculates, turn back to S201 then at S207.
As mentioned above, because determined the image stream on the photographic images,, there is not the photographic images of image stream with extraction so handle a plurality of photographic images by the time shutter of quick change camera 1.Then, calculate the speed image of target according to used time shutter, even during the target high-speed mobile, speed image that also can the accurate Calculation target.
(a) of Fig. 5 is a series of figure how graphic extension carries out the example of exact image speed calculation to (f).It is different that (a) of Fig. 5 calculates the speed image calculating shown in (a) to (e) with Fig. 3 to the speed image shown in (f).Yet figure and the figure in (a) to (e) of Fig. 3 of (a) of Fig. 5 in (f) is similar, therefore omits the explanation to repeating part.
Fig. 5 (a) illustrates photographic images.(b) of Fig. 5 illustrates and utilizes camera 1 or other filming apparatus to catch the shooting cycle of a frame photographic images.Frame is the unit of the image of being caught corresponding to camera 1.Fig. 5 (c) illustrates the various time shutter.Fig. 5 (d) illustrates photographic images #1 to #5.(e) of Fig. 5 illustrates the edge image #1 to #5 of photographic images #1 to #5 among (d) that corresponds respectively to Fig. 5.(f) of Fig. 5 illustrates the edge strength of (e) middle edge image #1 to #5 of Fig. 5.
Similar with Fig. 3 (a) to (e), when the time shutter is long, finally move one more than the pixel at the object of opening high-speed mobile between the shutter exposure period.Therefore, in the photographic images of being caught shown in the photographic images #1 to #3 in Fig. 5 (d) image stream appears.Yet, when the time shutter shortens, no longer move one more than the pixel opening between the shutter exposure period target.Like this, can catch as photographic images #4 in Fig. 5 (d) and the image that does not have image stream shown in the #5.
The edge strength of observation photographic images #1 to #5 finds that the big more edge strength of image stream is weak more.Otherwise the more little edge strength of image stream is big more.When not having image stream shown in Fig. 5 (f), edge strength reaches maximum and settles out.
Time shutter when no longer changing, can find the point that image stream no longer occurs by the edge strength that is shortened to extraction the time shutter continuously.At this point, the time shutter is that target moves the time that pixel is required.That is, the inverse of time shutter becomes the speed image of target.Like this, even target during high-speed mobile, by the inverse of calculation exposure time, also can be calculated the speed image of target on screen.
Within the scope of the invention, for example for example camera 1 or other filming apparatus (perhaps entire image speed counting device) can be installed on the moving body such as automobile.According to this aspect of the present invention, camera 1 is installed in for example front portion of vehicle, to catch the image of vehicle front.Monitor 5 is installed in the vehicle, with the image that display image memory 2 is preserved, the speed image information that the microcomputer 3 that superposes simultaneously calculates.Utilize the time shutter of camera control section 4 change cameras 1, microcomputer 3 computed image speed.
(a) of Fig. 6 illustrates the image of the vehicle front that utilizes camera 1 shooting that is installed in front part of vehicle.The speed image that (b) of Fig. 6 illustrates photographic images shown in (a) of Fig. 6 distributes.Speed image to each coordinate position on the horizontal direction is handled, and draws out the most frequent speed image that (because vehicle, promptly camera 1 moves) causes.In (a) of Fig. 6, position 61 expression low speed move object, and position 62 expression high-speed mobile objects.In (b) of Fig. 6, position 63 expression low speed turnover zones, and 64 expression high-speed mobile districts, position.
When vehicle on highway to overtake, and camera 1 or other filming apparatus be at optical axis (y axle) when direction moves, image is displaced sideways with respect to the optical axis direction of camera 1.In addition, it is far away more that image leaves the optical axis direction of camera 1, and it is fast more that speed becomes.According to these features, the object images of catching near the optical axis of camera 1 moves on image hardly, it is static that this object images keeps, and moves object 61 as low speed, and its mobile on each frame is no more than a pixel (frame is the unit of expression camera 1 image of catching).Like this, by the frame number that counting low speed moving body 61 rests on the specific pixel, can calculate the speed image of low speed moving body 61.
High-speed mobile district 64 is moved beyond a pixel, and therefore each end at photographic images illustrates high-speed mobile object 62.Space continuity is considered in speed image distribution (shown in the solid line in Fig. 6 (b)) according to low speed turnover zone 63, can estimate the speed image distribution (shown in the dotted line in Fig. 6 (b)) in high-speed mobile district 64.In order to carry out this estimation, must there be the low speed moving body 61 that calculates in the above described manner.Like this, distribute according to the speed image of the estimated low speed turnover zone 63 that goes out and proofread and correct the speed image in high-speed mobile district 64.Therefore, even when camera 1 moves, also can eliminate the relative velocity that is produced that moves by camera 1.
Fig. 7 illustrates when being installed in camera 1 or other filming apparatus on the moving body, carries out the process flow diagram of one group of step of exact image speed calculation.The example of the present invention of speed image calculating method shown in (a) to (f) that adopts Fig. 5 will be described below.
At first, at S401, obtain the photographic images of camera 1 (as shown in Figure 1) or other filming apparatus.Then,, this photographic images is carried out Suo Beier (Sobel) Filtering Processing, and this photographic images is stored in the video memory 2 to calculate the transverse edge image at S402.Then, at S403, obtain image by transverse edge picture delay one frame that will in S402, calculate, and the image after will postponing is kept in the video memory 2.Then, at S404, calculate and to be illustrated in the transverse edge image that S402 calculates and the image of the difference between the landscape images after the delay that S 40 3 calculates.Then, at S405, determine whether to exist the edge according to the transverse edge difference image that calculates at S404.If there is the edge, then carry out S406, and S408 is then carried out at if there is no edge.
At S406, counting (poll) this edge in the image difference image that step S405 extracts is arranged in the frame number of same pixel.Then,, try to achieve the inverse that is arranged in the frame number of same pixel at this edge, to calculate the speed image of transverse edge at the S406 counting at S407.This is the speed of low speed image.Then, the speed with this low speed image sends to monitor 5 (referring to Fig. 1).
On the contrary, when when the S405 judgement does not have the edge, calculate the edge strength of the transverse edge that extracts at S402 at S408.Then, at S409, there is the maximum speed of speed image quantity in calculating at this same x coordinate place to each x coordinate (horizontal direction of image).Then, distribute, estimate the velocity distribution of high speed image (dotted line in Fig. 6 (b)) by satisfying space continuity according to the low speed image that is calculated.Like this, calculated the speed image distribution of all x coordinates that comprise the high-speed mobile district that is positioned at each end of screen.
Then, at S410, according to the speed image distributed intelligence of calculating, eliminate vehicle (that is, camera 1 or other filming apparatus) and move the relative velocity that produces, to proofread and correct the speed of high speed image at S409.That is, read and be positioned at the edge strength that has been shifted corresponding to the transverse edge of the former frame of the position of the degree of the speed image of estimating at S409.
At S411, will utilize the edge strength (reading) in the image stream district of the photographic images that edge strength and the time shutter of utilizing after shortening in the image stream district of photographic images of (calculating at S408) shooting of given time shutter take to compare at S410.If variable quantity is equal to or less than setting, then carry out the processing procedure of S412, and if variable quantity greater than setting, then carry out the processing procedure of S413.If variable quantity is equal to or less than this setting, then at S412, calculate the inverse of current time shutter, as the speed image of the transverse edge that extracts at S405.On the contrary, if variable quantity greater than this setting, then at S413, the edge strength that keeps the transverse edge position and calculate at S408.
At S414,, then, return S401 with the time shutter shortening designated value of camera 1.At S415, on monitor 5, be presented at the suitable supervision indication of the speed image of S407 and S412 calculating.Utilize different tones, the image information that microcomputer 3 is calculated is superimposed upon on the image of video memory 2 preservations.For example, be presented at the image that moves to the right on the screen with blueness, and with the mobile to the left image of red display.
Can utilize the speed image of measuring at the low speed turnover zone to estimate the configuration of moving in high-speed mobile district because have, even so when camera 1 or filming apparatus is installed on the moving body and when mobile, also can eliminate because should move the relative speed image that produces.Therefore, even be installed on the moving bodys such as vehicle when camera 1 and this moving body when mobile, also can computed image speed.In addition, even can calculate near the camera 1 that moves and with the speed image of the target that moves relative to high speed.
One aspect of the present invention is that utilization can come computed image speed since camera or other filming apparatus (please refer to camera shown in Figure 1 1) that the fixed time is caught image with a plurality of different exposure time.(a) of Fig. 8 is the moment T that is illustrated in appointment 0The back is being spaced apart the moment T of T 0-T 4Target is with respect to the synoptic diagram that moves of camera.θ 1It is the field angle of each pixel of camera 1.θ 2, θ 3And θ 4Be respectively at corresponding moment T 0To T 4The angle of extending from camera 1 to target.Although only provide T in the figure as an example 0To T 4, but can comprise more a plurality of moment.
The photographic images #1 to #4 that (b) of Fig. 8 illustrates respectively to (e) is with different exposure time T 0-T 1, T 0-T 2, T 0-T 3And T 0-T 4When exposing, a frame photographic images of catching.That is, in that exposed should be after the time shutter, at corresponding moment T 1, T 2, T 3And T 4Catch image.For example, when T equals to move required time of pixel second, because photographic images #1 exposure T second, that is, and T 0-T 1So target appears in the same pixel.For photographic images #2 to #4, because at T 0-T 2, T 0-T 3And T 0-T 4Shutter is in when opening during this time, and target moves 2 pixels, 3 pixels and 4 pixels respectively, so image stream occurs.
Because from specifying T constantly 0Beginning is caught image with a plurality of time shutter, so observe (please refer to Fig. 5) by carrying out aforesaid frequency analysis (please refer to Fig. 3) or aforesaid edge strength, can extract the image that the image stream among the photographic images #1 to #4 do not occur.Then, measure corresponding speed image.
Fig. 9 illustrates one group of step that utilization can be carried out the exact image speed calculation with the camera that a plurality of different exposure time are as shown in Figure 8 caught image.As an example, the method (referring to Fig. 3) of aforesaid frequency analysis as computed image speed adopted in following description.Because identical processing in S501 to S507 (referring to Fig. 9) execution and S401 to S407 (referring to Fig. 6) is so the repetitive description thereof will be omitted.
If judge in the difference image that S504 extracts at S505 not have the edge, then at S508, change time in the frame by speed with appointment, camera 1 or other filming apparatus are controlled to a plurality of time shutter photographic images.Then, at S509, a plurality of images of catching with the different time shutter are carried out frequency analysis.At S510,, detect radio-frequency component and reach maximal value and stable time shutter under coming according to the result of frequency analysis.Then, at S511, calculate inverse in the detected time shutter of S510 as speed image.At last, at S512, will be presented on the monitor 5 in the speed image information of S507 and S511 calculating.
As mentioned above, because present embodiment is configured to from specifying T constantly 0The image that beginning is caught with a plurality of different shutter speeds is handled, so can be with fixed time T 0For benchmark is observed this target in a plurality of time shutter.Like this, even can calculate the speed image of the target of high-speed mobile.
Because in a frame, catch image, so can shorten the processing time with a plurality of different exposure time.In addition, embodiment shown in Figure 6 is different with reaching as mentioned above, because do not estimate the speed image in high-speed mobile district, can improve the speed calculation precision.
At this,, provide above-described embodiment in order to help to understand technological thought of the present invention.This limits the present invention anything but.Therefore, disclosed each unit comprises all Change In Designs and the equivalent thereof that belongs to technical scope of the present invention in the foregoing description.
The above only is an explanation of the principles of the present invention.In addition,, expect many modifications and changes easily, so shown in not wanting the present invention is confined to fully and described exact configuration and operation, therefore, modification and equivalent that all are suitable all fall within the scope of the present invention because to one skilled in the art.
