Abstract
An alarm device for notifying a braking state of a front vehicle according to the present invention comprises an image collection module installed in a rear vehicle for collecting image data of a preceding vehicle, processing the collected image data to detect a taillight pattern, And an image processing module for determining whether a distance value between the forward vehicle and the preceding vehicle is within a predetermined range, and detecting whether the taillight pattern detection state continues for a predetermined time or longer and the speed of the preceding vehicle is decelerated below a predetermined speed And an event occurrence detection module for determining whether an event has occurred or not. According to the present invention as described above, it is very convenient for the elderly who are somewhat lacking in concentration.
Description
The present invention relates to an alarm apparatus and method for informing a driver of a rear vehicle that a braking force of a front vehicle is being changed. In particular, And the high luminance is turned on. The rear vehicle in the running state automatically recognizes the occurrence of an event through image-based or sensor-based pattern detection and distance value calculation, and visually or audibly informs the driver, The present invention relates to an alarm device and a method for notifying a braking state of a front vehicle in which a braking state of a front vehicle can be easily known.
In general, the vehicle is provided with a direction indicator for informing the progress direction of the vehicle by a blinking operation, such as a brake indicating that the braking device is operated while the vehicle is running and a brake for informing the outside, And the emergency stop light flashing, the vehicle width indicating the width of the vehicle, and the like.
In particular, the brake of a vehicle is a lamp device that is interlocked with a brake pedal that the driver steps on for braking while driving, and lights up at the rear of the vehicle, warning the rear vehicle of the braking state of the front vehicle, This is a lamp unit that can prevent accidents that may be caused by unintentional fire.
For example, when the driver of the front vehicle presses the brake pedal, the driver of the rear vehicle easily recognizes the braking state by the brake switch so that the driver can perform safe driving.
However, when the driver is driving the vehicle for a long time, the driver does not recognize the brake or the like that is lit at the rear of the vehicle due to fatigue, so that the braking of the rear vehicle may be delayed, causing a collision accident or failing to run safely.
That is, in the case of a conventional vehicle, since the driver relies only on a visual simple method in which a driver carefully observes a brake or the like illuminated at the rear of the front vehicle, when the driver runs the vehicle for a long time and fatigue is overloaded, There is a problem of causing an accident by recognizing the fact that the light is turned on late.
Furthermore, elderly people with poor concentration have difficulty in recognizing the braking effect of forward vehicles.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an alarm device for informing a braking state of a front vehicle, Method.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide an alarm device and method for storing shape and size information of brakes and the like for each vehicle type in a database to notify the braking fact of the front vehicle that pattern detection and distance value calculation are easy.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an alarm device and method for notifying a braking state of a front vehicle in which pattern detection and distance value calculation are easy using a knowledge based algorithm so that a brake pattern detection and a distance value calculation can be performed even when a database is not provided .
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an alarm device and method for notifying a braking event of a preceding vehicle informing of the fact of an event by various methods such as a display, a speaker, or a lamp when an event occurs.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an alarm device for notifying a braking state of a front vehicle, comprising: an image collection module installed in a rear vehicle for collecting image data of a preceding vehicle; An image processing module for detecting the taillight pattern by processing the image data and determining whether a distance value between the rear vehicle and the front vehicle is within a predetermined range; And an event occurrence detection module for detecting whether the speed of the preceding vehicle is decelerated to a predetermined speed or less and determining whether an event has occurred.
According to another aspect of the present invention, an alarm method for notifying a braking state of a front vehicle of the present invention includes the steps of: collecting image data of a preceding vehicle in a running rear vehicle; extracting only a red color pattern from the collected image data; A step of extracting a specific shape pattern by processing the boundary of the red color pattern; detecting a tail light pattern by comparing the specific shape pattern with previously stored reference shape information; And detecting whether the speed of the preceding vehicle is decelerated to a predetermined speed or less.
As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, the following effects can be expected.
First, by informing the driver of the braking effect of the front vehicle through the speaker or the lamp, it is expected to provide convenience to the elderly who are weak in concentration and slow in power.
Second, since the pattern detection and the distance value calculation can be performed using one color camera, the structure is not complicated, and it is economical to install it independently of a vehicle black box or navigation.
Third, since it can be installed integrally with an existing vehicle black box or navigation, it is expected to have a reflective effect that can further enhance the utility value of a black box or navigation.
Fourth, since the camera image-based pattern can be detected by using the library in which the shape information of the vehicle type is stored, the detection reliability of the brake and the like is very high, and even if it is not stored, Is expected to be effective.
Fifth, since the camera image-based distance value can be calculated using the library in which the size information of the vehicle type and the like is stored, the detection reliability of the brake and the like is very high, and since the sensor based distance value can be calculated even if it is not stored, Is expected to be effective.
