FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration of a warning information display apparatus relating to a vehicle operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a warning information display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a view illustrating an information display mode of the vehicle in the backward traveling according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the attention information display apparatus for a vehicle operation includes a weather recognition unit 110, a distance measurement unit 120, a navigation unit 130, a storage unit 140, a light emission unit 150, 160 < / RTI > One or more components included in the attention display device may be implemented as a software program.

The weather recognizing unit 110 recognizes the weather at the location where the vehicle is traveling and generates weather information in real time.

In order to generate weather information, the weather recognition unit 110 may include a snowy sensor 112 and an image recognition unit 114.

The rain sensor 112 is a sensor for detecting intensity and amount of rain or snow, and may be one or more of, for example, a rain sensor, a rain sensor, and the like. In this case, if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic wiper detection system, related information may be provided from a rain sensor provided in the false detection automatic wiper system, so that the weather sensor 112 may be omitted from the weather recognition unit 110 have.

The image recognizing unit 114 analyzes the captured image data and recognizes the weather condition of the corresponding location.

For example, the image recognizing unit 114 receives an image photographed by the camera means and converts the input image into a gray scale conversion in which brightness from white to black is represented by a gray value between 0 and 255 And calculate a brightness average value of an image of a predetermined region of interest in the gray-scale-converted image. In addition, the image recognizing unit 114 performs HSL conversion on the input captured image and calculates a standard deviation of H (hue, hue) value, which is a hue value, for a predetermined region of interest. Here, S (saturation) means saturation and L (luminance), respectively.

If the calculated average value is greater than or equal to the predetermined brightness threshold value, the calculated standard deviation is compared with the predetermined first threshold value. If it is less than the first threshold value, the image recognizing unit 114 can recognize that the current weather condition is snow. However, if the calculated standard deviation is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, the weather condition can be recognized as fogged.

Also, if the calculated average value is less than a predetermined brightness threshold value, the calculated standard deviation is compared with a second threshold value which is a relatively small threshold value. If the standard deviation is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the weather condition can be recognized as rain, and if the standard deviation is less than the second threshold value, the weather condition can be recognized as being clear.

The brightness threshold value, the first threshold value, and the second threshold value may be experimentally and statistically predetermined and stored in the storage unit 140 so that the weather condition can be determined through image analysis.

The weather information generated by the weather recognition unit 110 may include, for example, information about the intensity or / and the amount of rain or snow sensed by the snowfall sensor 112, information on the weather state recognized by the image recognition unit 114 Information may be included. The control unit 160 may recognize the weather information provided by the weather recognizing unit 110 and the amount of rain or snow when the snow falls.

The distance measuring unit 120 is a means for measuring the distance to the preceding vehicle 220 traveling in front of the vehicle. For example, the distance may be measured using a distance measuring method using a laser or the like. The distance measuring unit 120 may be installed on one side of the front of the vehicle or on one side of the room mirror in the vehicle so as to allow distance measurement with the preceding vehicle 220. [

The navigation unit 130 provides information on the specified speed of the road on which the target vehicle 210 is currently traveling and the traveling speed of the target vehicle 210. [

If the navigation apparatus provides road information and the like to the target vehicle 210 and has a GPS receiver, the attention information display apparatus can receive the related information from the navigation apparatus. In this case, the navigation unit 130 may be implemented as input means for receiving information on the specified speed, the traveling speed, and the like from the navigation device provided in the target vehicle 210.

The navigation unit 130 may also provide information about the road shape and information about the direction of travel of the target vehicle 210 to arrive at a designated destination. For example, the shape of the road to be driven by the target vehicle 210 after a short time may be information on whether it is a straight road, an intersection, or the like.

The storage unit 140 stores an operation program of the caution information display device, threshold value information for recognizing the weather condition, and a caution information display form to be displayed through the front or rear light emission. Also, when the attention information display device includes a navigation device, road information data and the like may be further stored.

The light emitting unit 150 emits light (for example, laser) on the road surface of the road so that the state information processed by the controller 160 is displayed on the road surface.

The light emitting portion 150 includes a front light emitting portion 152 for displaying the attention information in front of the target vehicle 210 and a rear light emitting portion 154 for displaying the attention information behind the target vehicle 210 ). The control unit 160 controls the front light emitting unit 152 or the front light emitting unit 152 to operate in accordance with the forward or backward traveling state of the target vehicle 210 as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, do.

For example, if the target vehicle 210 is in the forward running state, the caution information displayed on the road surface of the front of the vehicle may include a distance between the preceding vehicle 220 and the running speed of the target vehicle 210 , Whether or not deceleration is necessary, whether or not an inter-vehicle distance is secured, and the like.

Here, the attention information may be generated in consideration of the weather at the position where the target vehicle travels in addition to the specified speed and traveling direction of the road to be driven as described later. 2 (a)) displayed in a state in which the safety of the driver is guaranteed in consideration of the running speed and the inter-vehicle distance of the vehicle, and caution information (see Fig. 2 (B)) may be processed with different colors or different display methods (for example, blink processing, etc.).

At this time, the front light emitting unit 152 is configured such that the target vehicle 210 travels at a predetermined speed or more and the distance between the target vehicle 210 and the preceding vehicle 220 is not less than a predetermined interval Can be controlled so as to be operated only in a state in which the It goes without saying that light emission control may be performed so that attention information is displayed on the rear side of the vehicle body of the preceding vehicle 220 when necessary (for example, when the traveling speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed threshold).

In addition, when the target vehicle 210 arrives at an intersection after a short time and needs to rotate straight or in a specific direction at an intersection to reach a designated destination, the front light emitting portion 152 is provided at one side of the front side of the target vehicle 210 (Refer to FIG. 6).

Also, for example, if the target vehicle 210 is in the backward traveling state, the attention information displayed on the road surface of the rear side of the vehicle corresponds to information of the target vehicle 210 provided from an electronic control unit (ECU) And may be information on the running direction of the target vehicle corresponding to the steering angle information (that is, information on the rotational direction). Accordingly, the persons located in the vicinity of the target vehicle can recognize whether the target vehicle 210 is backward or not and the traveling direction at the time of backward movement.

The control unit 160 controls the operation of each component included in the attention information display device.

The control unit 160 also receives information about the specified speed of the road provided from the navigation unit 130 and the speed of travel of the target vehicle 210 and the distance between the preceding vehicle 220 provided by the distance measuring unit 120 It is possible to determine whether the target vehicle 210 should decelerate or not by referring to the information, and to control the front light emitting unit 152 to be displayed on the road surface by processing the corresponding caution information.

The control unit 160 also refers to the weather information provided by the weather recognition unit 110 and the headway distance information between the preceding vehicle 220 provided from the distance measurement unit 120 to determine a proper traveling speed The attention information on the inter-vehicle distance may be processed so that the front light emitting unit 152 is displayed on the road surface. In the case of rain, snow, or foggy weather, the user is guided to decelerate the vehicle by applying predetermined deceleration rate information to the specified speed, and to guide the vehicle to maintain a relatively long distance by applying predetermined distance- You will be able to process the information. Here, the deceleration rate and the distance assurance rate can be predetermined in a plurality of grades and ratios according to the degree of rainfall, snowfall, fog density and the like. For example, in the case of heavy rainfall or heavy fogging, The deceleration rate and the distance assurance rate can be designated so as to maintain the long inter-vehicle distance. .

If the control unit 160 recognizes that the target vehicle 210 is shifted backward by referring to the information on the gear shift state provided from the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle or the like, So as to display the attention information on the turning direction of the target vehicle corresponding to the steering angle information of the vehicle provided from the electronic control unit and displayed on the rear road surface of the target vehicle 210 by the rear light emitting unit 154 .

Also, the control unit 160 refers to the road information provided from the navigation unit 130 so that the target vehicle 210 arrives at an intersection after a short time, and when the intersection needs to be straightened or rotated in a specific direction to reach a specified destination It is possible to control the front light emitting unit 152 to display caution information for the traveling direction of the vehicle (for example, straight ahead, left turn, right turn, etc.) to one side of the front side of the subject vehicle 210. [

The control unit 160 determines that the road information provided by the navigation unit 130 indicates that the target vehicle 210 is about to reach the intersection, May refer to the distance information to the intersection position measured by the unit 120. [ Here, the image analyzing unit 114 can recognize the presence of roads and intersections using the color information analysis on the photographed image, and the method of interpreting the image is obvious to those skilled in the art, and therefore, a description thereof will be omitted.

4 is a flowchart showing a caution information display method for a vehicle operation according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step 410, the attention information display device recognizes the gear input information of the target vehicle 210. As described later, if the target vehicle 210 is shifted to the forward gear, the front light emitting portion 152 will be operated, and if the forward gear is shifted, the rear light emitting portion 154 will be operated.

In step 420, the attention information display device determines whether the recognized gear input information is shifted to the reverse gear.

If it is shifted to the forward gear, the attention information display device displays the traveling speed of the target vehicle 210, the specified speed of the road on which the target vehicle 210 travels, the headway distance to the preceding vehicle 220, Recognize the weather on the road.

The traveling speed of the target vehicle 210 may be calculated using, for example, a GPS receiver provided in the navigation unit 130, or may be speed information provided from the navigation device. The specified speed of the road may be detected from the road information data stored in the storage unit 140 or may be provided from the navigation device. The inter-vehicle distance may be distance information calculated by the distance measuring unit 120 using, for example, a distance measuring method using a rearranger. Further, the weather condition may be detected, for example, by using information on the intensity and amount of rainwater or snow generated by the snow sensor 112, and information on weather conditions interpreted based on the photographed image of the image recognition unit 114 .

In step 440, the caution information display device determines whether the traveling speed of the target vehicle and the inter-vehicle distance from the preceding vehicle are appropriate considering the weather of the present traveling road.

If the target vehicle is running so as to exceed the specified speed of the road on which the target vehicle is traveling, deceleration of the running speed will be required, and if the appropriate inter-vehicle distance is not secured for the current traveling speed of the target vehicle,

Also, if the current road is rainy or snowy or foggy, it is necessary to adjust the running speed and / or the inter-vehicle distance to correspond to the level of precipitation / snowfall or fog, even though the running speed satisfies the specified speed will be.

As a result of the determination in step 440, if it is determined that adjustment of the vehicle speed and / or the inter-vehicle distance is necessary, the attention information display device may adjust the travel speed and / or the inter-vehicle distance using the front light emitting unit 152 The attention information for induction is displayed on the front road surface of the target vehicle.

However, if it is not determined that the adjustment of the vehicle speed and / or the inter-vehicle distance is necessary, the process proceeds to step 410 again. Of course, even when it is not determined that the adjustment of the vehicle speed and / or the inter-vehicle distance is necessary, the information about the traveling speed and / or the inter-vehicle distance is displayed on the front road surface of the target vehicle (See Fig. 2 (a)).

When the attention information display device recognizes that the state information display device is shifted to the reverse gear by referring to the step 420, the steering angle information of the target vehicle (that is, the information about the turning direction) On the rear road surface of the target vehicle as information on the running direction of the target vehicle.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an information display method of a vehicle when entering an intersection according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an information display form when the vehicle enters an intersection according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step 510, the attention information display device determines whether an intersection exists ahead of the target vehicle 210 in the traveling direction.

The existence of the intersection may be recognized through, for example, road information provided by the navigation unit 130, or may be recognized as a result of image analysis of the photographed image input by the image analysis unit 114.

If the intersection does not exist, the process proceeds to step 510 again. However, if an intersection exists, the process proceeds to step 520 to determine whether the intersection is within a predetermined reference distance.

Here, the reference distance may be a physically specified distance, for example, 20 m, or may be a predetermined distance so as to be variable according to the traveling speed of the target vehicle 210. Whether or not the vehicle meets the reference distance is calculated based on, for example, the road information provided by the navigation unit 130 and the real-time position information of the target vehicle, or the distance measurement unit 120 measures the distance to an object located at an intersection Lt; / RTI >

For example, when the target vehicle 210 arrives at the intersection, it is determined whether the intersection is within the reference distance by displaying the attention information at the intersection position, which is the front surface of the target vehicle 210, So that other vehicles traveling in the vicinity of the intersection of the target vehicle 210 can recognize the advance direction of the intersection of the target vehicle 210,

If the distance to the intersection does not satisfy the predetermined reference distance, the process waits at step 520 until the reference distance is satisfied.

However, if the reference distance is satisfied, the attention information display device displays the information on the traveling direction of the target vehicle 210 at the intersection by using the front light emitting unit 152 as attention information at the front road surface of the target vehicle (See Fig. 5 (b)).

It is needless to say that the above-described caution information display method for the vehicle operation may be performed in an automated procedure in a time-series sequence by a built-in program or the like installed in the digital processing apparatus. The codes and code segments that make up the program can be easily deduced by a computer programmer in the field. In addition, the program is stored in a computer readable medium readable by the digital processing apparatus, and is read and executed by the digital processing apparatus to implement the method. The information storage medium includes a magnetic recording medium, an optical recording medium, and a carrier wave medium.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It will be understood that the present invention can be changed.
