Description

As China gradually enters an aging society, travel safety of the elderly is gradually getting | more attention. Due to somatic functions of the elderly, a street-crossing behavior of an old ) person is very different from that of an average person. An existing street-crossing facility has .
very great drawback, and when a pedestrian crosses a street, a speed designed for crossing a street ‘ is excessively high, and a green light time is relatively short, and therefore the old person cannot | cross the street safely. To resolve a street-crossing safety problem of the elderly, it is necessary to .
design a green signal time prolonging method and apparatus suitable for an old person. | A green signal time prolonging apparatus suitable for an old person that is more studied in ; the current field is to use a card swiping control manner.

and more comprehensible, the present invention is further described in detail below with | reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. | FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a green signal time prolonging method dedicated for an old person | based on a pedestrian re-identification technology according to the present invention. As shown | in FIG. 1, the green signal time prolonging method dedicated for an old person based on a | pedestrian re-identification technology includes the following steps: | Step 101: collect facial information of an old person by using a face identification method, | where the step specifically includes: | obtaining an image by using a face identification module and a camera, where the image may . be a stationary or dynamic video sequence; | conducting preprocessing on collected image information, where the preprocessing includes | image area segmentation, dimension normalization, gray level normalization, and the like; | conducting detection on a preprocessed image, to detect whether the image includes a human | face, a number of human faces, and an area and a position including a human face; and | extracting the facial information of the old person. | Step 102: obtain facial information of all pedestrians within a sidewalk monitoring range. | Step 103: conduct similarity measurement on the facial information of the old person and the | facial information of the pedestrians, determine the old person whose identity has been verified, | and mark the old person, where the step specifically includes: | extracting feature information from the facial information of the old person; | conducting similarity measurement on the feature information and the facial information of | the pedestrians, to obtain multiple similarities; | determining whether each similarity reaches a specified similarity threshold; | if yes, sorting similarities that satisfy the condition, and determining an old person |
So ee 0% corresponding to a maximum similarity as the old person whose identity has been verified, and-V102035 ' marking the old person, that is, sorting feature information whose similarity reaches a specific | degree, marking feature information with a highest similarity, and determining an old person . corresponding to the highest similarity as the old person whose identity has been verified; and | triggering a touch signal light to start a green signal time prolonging function; or . if no, returning to the step of conducting similarity measurement on the feature information .
and the facial information of the pedestrians, to obtain similarities. | Step 104: conduct real-time tracking on the marked old person to obtain a street-crossing | track, where the step specifically includes: | conducting effective extraction of a feature point of each frame of the marked old person to | obtain multiple effective feature points; | tracking each feature point by using a Kalman filtering method to obtain a feature point track; | and | characterizing the street-crossing track of the old person by using the multiple effective ' feature points. . A Kalman filtering method is used to track a target. First, a feature factor that can be used to | fully describe the target is found to differentiate a pedestrian target and another object, where a | commonly used feature factor is a gray scale, a color, a texture, or even some motion information | feature; and a color feature is selected for particle observation for real-time tracking of the target. | Specific steps for pedestrian tracking are as follows: |
1. Conduct pedestrian detection in a first frame of a monitoring video sequence to obtain a | detection target, calculate a color histogram of the detection target, assume that prior distribution | obeys the Gaussian distribution, and initialize particles, where a particle number is N, and each | weight is 1/N, that is, ta,pl/N} = .- |
2. Obtain a particle state {a Wii at a moment k based on a particle state at a moment | k-1 according to a system state transition model. | The system state transition model includes state and measurement equations used during | track extraction. | ax = & (x -DAk -1+ Dk -1 | be = Irak + Fx ) In the formulas, ax is an nXl-dimensional state vector of a system state; ax-ı is an | n<1-dimensional state vector of the system state at a moment tc-1; bx is an mx1-dimensional | vector of an observed system state; Ex-i-1 is an nxn-dimensional state transition matrix from the | moment tr-1 to a moment tx; Ix is an mXn-dimensional measurement matrix at the moment tx; Dr-ı | is an nx1-dimensional random vector with random interference at the moment tx-1; and Fx is ant V102035 | mx1-dimensional observation noise vector at the moment tx. |
3. For each particle, calculate a similarity “i=! according to an observation model by using the color histogram, where i represents 1 to n; and obtain a newest particle weight through similarity normalization: = Ra Zain . |
4. Conduct similarity measurement according to the weight, and if n pedestrians are detected, | a > wia; ; estimate a posteriori probability <==! * * according to a weight of each particle in a frame as reliability 1m , and use a pedestrian whose reliability exceeds a threshold To and whose ; ranking is highest as a target pedestrian for tracking. |
5. Repeat the foregoing operation on a next frame, and continue to conduct pedestrian Ë tracking. | Because a linear relationship between two states at a moment t and a moment t—1 is | described in a Kalman filtering algorithm, a state at the moment t can be obtained only by | inputting an observed quantity at the moment t—1 based on space-time information, while the | input observed quantity needs to be based on specific space-time information. Therefore, with | reference to context space-time information, a position in which a target is marked in a next | frame of image is predicted, and two-dimension search is conducted to obtain a foreground with a | largest correlation with a contour to which the predicted position point belongs, to implement | pedestrian tracking; a feature track is extracted; and after track extraction and tracking, a track | feature on the image is converted to a true movement track feature, so as to obtain the | street-crossing track of the old person. , Step 105: calculate, according to the street-crossing track of the old person, an average speed | for crossing a street by the old person, where the step specifically includes: | obtaining a time at which the old person walks into the sidewalk monitoring area and a | distance for which the old person has walked; and | calculating, according to the time and the distance, the average speed for crossing the street | by the old person. | Step 106: obtain a distance between the old person and an end point of a sidewalk, and | record the distance as a remaining distance. | Step 107: determine a shortest safe street-crossing time according to the average speed and | the remaining distance. | Step 108: set a countdown of a prolonged green signal time according to the shortest safe |
