立體視覺資訊補償系統及方法Stereoscopic visual information compensation system and method

本發明係關於一種視覺資訊之系統及方法,特別涉及一種補償立體視覺缺陷的立體視覺資訊補償系統及方法。The present invention relates to a system and method for visual information, and more particularly to a stereoscopic information compensation system and method for compensating for stereoscopic vision defects.

人類利用眼睛以獲得視覺的感知,特別是透過雙眼視覺(binocular vision)同時獲得具有視差的視覺畫面,再經由大腦的分析處理後,產生立體視感,也就是可以得知視線所及的各項立體物件的相對距離遠近、立體物件與觀看者之間的絕對距離、甚至是立體物件的厚度。Humans use the eyes to obtain visual perception, especially through the binocular vision, and simultaneously obtain visual images with parallax, and then through the analysis and processing of the brain, to produce stereoscopic vision, that is, to know the respective visual lines. The relative distance of the three-dimensional object, the absolute distance between the three-dimensional object and the viewer, and even the thickness of the three-dimensional object.

但對於因視力受損僅剩餘單邊眼睛可正常接收影像、或大腦無法正確分析雙眼分別產生之畫面的人而言,即無法得知眼前各項物件的相對距離,或是立體物件與觀看者本身的距離。這種缺乏立體感的視覺缺陷不但減少了觀看時的視覺豐富性,更可能造成觀看者無法判斷景物與自己的距離而產生碰撞,引發安全上的疑慮。However, for those who have limited vision because only the remaining unilateral eyes can receive images normally, or the brain cannot correctly analyze the images produced by the eyes, it is impossible to know the relative distance of the objects in front of the eyes, or the three-dimensional objects and viewing. The distance of the person itself. This lack of stereoscopic visual defects not only reduces the visual richness of viewing, but also makes it impossible for viewers to judge the distance between the scene and their own, causing safety concerns.

目前已知的立體顯示裝置或立體影像的生成技術,都是以觀看者的雙眼視覺能力未受損的情況為前提而發展;且眾多視覺缺陷的輔助機制中,並沒有針對立體視感的缺陷而提供補償的作法,使得雙眼視覺具有缺陷的觀看者沒有機會如常人般地偵知景物的深度或距離,徒增生活上的不便利。Currently known stereoscopic display devices or stereoscopic image generation techniques are developed on the premise that the viewer's binocular vision ability is not impaired; and the auxiliary mechanisms of many visual defects are not for stereoscopic vision. Defects provide compensation, so that viewers with defective binocular vision have no chance to detect the depth or distance of the scene as usual, and increase the inconvenience in life.

詳細內容及例示實施方式與圖式,請參閱以下說明。For details and illustrations of the embodiments and drawings, please refer to the following description.

第一圖是本發明提供的一種立體視覺資訊補償系統第一實施例的方塊圖。立體視覺資訊補償系統1包括複數影像擷取單元、影像處理單元14及顯示單元16。本實施例的影像擷取單元包括影像擷取單元10及影像擷取單元12;影像處理單元14更包括距離運算單元140、暫存單元142、立體資訊融合單元144及警示比對單元146。The first figure is a block diagram of a first embodiment of a stereoscopic information compensation system provided by the present invention. The stereoscopic information compensation system 1 includes a plurality of image capturing units, an image processing unit 14, and a display unit 16. The image capturing unit of the present embodiment includes an image capturing unit 10 and an image capturing unit 12; the image processing unit 14 further includes a distance calculating unit 140, a temporary storage unit 142, a stereo information fusion unit 144, and a warning comparison unit 146.

二個影像擷取單元10、12位於同一視平線水平並排,且並間隔有一定寬度;所述的寬度範圍可模擬人類左、右兩眼之間的間距,約介於6到7公分之間。具體的影像擷取單元10、12可為攝影機或照相機,同步地連續或定期分別擷取同一個場景的平面影像。二個平面影像皆包括所述場景中的至少一項相同的立體物件,例如建築物、車輛或樹木。為便於理解實施內容,下文中,影像擷取單元10所擷取的平面影像稱為基準影像,影像擷取單元12所擷取的平面影像則稱為參考影像。The two image capturing units 10 and 12 are horizontally arranged side by side at the same eye level and spaced apart by a certain width; the width range can simulate the spacing between the left and right eyes of the human being, and is about 6 to 7 cm. between. The specific image capturing units 10 and 12 may be cameras or cameras, and sequentially capture the plane images of the same scene continuously or periodically. Both of the planar images include at least one of the same three-dimensional objects in the scene, such as a building, a vehicle, or a tree. In order to facilitate the understanding of the implementation, the planar image captured by the image capturing unit 10 is referred to as a reference image, and the planar image captured by the image capturing unit 12 is referred to as a reference image.

影像擷取單元10、12同步擷取的基準影像及參考影像皆被傳送到影像處理單元14進行處理。影像處理單元14的距離運算單元140接收到基準影像及參考影像後,利用影像分析的手段,辨識基準影像和參考影像中所包含的立 體物件,以便計算立體物件與視平線間的距離。首先,可利用如影像分割(Image Segmentation)之技術將基準影像中的物件解析出來並加以標示,接著,距離運算單元140可透過如點對應式(point matching)或區塊對應式(block matching)分析進行影像對應(image correspondence),藉由比對畫面中的紋理、色塊或邊緣,以辨識出二個平面影像中所存在的相對應立體物件。The reference image and the reference image captured by the image capturing units 10 and 12 are transmitted to the image processing unit 14 for processing. After receiving the reference image and the reference image, the distance calculation unit 140 of the image processing unit 14 recognizes the included in the reference image and the reference image by means of image analysis. Body object to calculate the distance between the solid object and the eye level. First, the object in the reference image can be parsed and marked by a technique such as Image Segmentation. Then, the distance operation unit 140 can pass through point matching or block matching. The image correspondence is analyzed, and the corresponding three-dimensional objects existing in the two planar images are identified by comparing textures, patches or edges in the image.

點對應式或區塊對應式的分析都是基於影像的像素進行比對,因此,當辨識出二個平面影像中相對應的立體物件時,同時可獲得立體物件分別在基準影像及參考影像中的位置,換言之,可得知立體物件在影像中的二維座標。The analysis of the point correspondence or the block correspondence is based on the pixels of the image for comparison. Therefore, when the corresponding three-dimensional object in the two plane images is recognized, the three-dimensional object can be obtained in the reference image and the reference image, respectively. The position, in other words, the two-dimensional coordinates of the three-dimensional object in the image.

由於影像擷取單元10、12之間的位置間隔了一定寬度,因此基準影像與參考影像的內容雖皆涉及同一場景,但所擷取的角度和範圍會產生差異,使得擷取到的畫面內容不會完全重疊相等。因此,同一立體物件在基準影像中的位置與在參考影像中的位置存在差距,也就是像差(disparity)。以模擬人眼位置的影像擷取單元10、12所擷取的影像來說,立體物件會產生水平像差(x軸方向像差),且距離視平線越近的立體物件,產生的像差越大。距離運算單元140可根據同一立體物件在基準影像和參考影像中的座標,計算出每一立體物件在此二個平面影像的像差。Since the positions between the image capturing units 10 and 12 are separated by a certain width, the contents of the reference image and the reference image are all related to the same scene, but the angle and range of the captured image are different, so that the captured image content is obtained. Will not completely overlap equal. Therefore, there is a gap between the position of the same solid object in the reference image and the position in the reference image, that is, disparity. In the image captured by the image capturing units 10 and 12 simulating the position of the human eye, the three-dimensional object generates horizontal aberration (x-axis direction aberration), and the closer to the horizontal line, the image generated by the three-dimensional object. The difference is greater. The distance operation unit 140 can calculate the aberration of the two planar objects in the two planar images according to the coordinates of the same three-dimensional object in the reference image and the reference image.

獲得立體物件在二個平面影像之間的像差之後,距離運算單元140可進一步依據影像擷取單元10、12之間所間隔的寬度與立體物件的像差,即可由該像差估測出該立體物件相對於視平線的距離值。根據像差計算立體物件之距離值之手段已為本領域之人士所熟知,此即不再贅言。After obtaining the aberration between the two planar images of the three-dimensional object, the distance operation unit 140 can further estimate the aberration according to the width of the image capturing unit 10, 12 and the aberration of the three-dimensional object. The distance value of the solid object relative to the eye level. The means for calculating the distance value of a three-dimensional object from aberrations is well known to those skilled in the art, and this is no longer a rumor.

計算出平面影像中各項可分辨的立體物件的距離值後,影像處理單元14可將每一距離值暫存在暫存單元142中,例如暫存在緩衝器(buffer)或記錄在註冊檔(registry)。立體資訊融合單元144及警示比對單元146接著即會針對暫存單元142中所暫存的距離值進行處理,以便提供融合了立體資訊的影像。After calculating the distance values of the distinguishable three-dimensional objects in the plane image, the image processing unit 14 may temporarily store each distance value in the temporary storage unit 142, for example, temporarily stored in a buffer or recorded in the registration file (registry). ). The stereo information fusion unit 144 and the alert comparison unit 146 then process the distance values temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 142 to provide images incorporating the stereoscopic information.

立體資訊融合單元144自暫存單元142中一一讀取出每個立體物件的距離值,並且以基準影像的畫面為基礎,將每個距離值的數值融合到基準影像中相對應的立體物件,產生了一個在畫面中除了包括景物之外,還標示有每個立體物件之距離值的校正影像。The stereo information fusion unit 144 reads the distance value of each three-dimensional object one by one from the temporary storage unit 142, and fuses the value of each distance value to the corresponding three-dimensional object in the reference image based on the picture of the reference image. A corrected image of the distance value of each of the three-dimensional objects is displayed in addition to the scene in the picture.

如第二圖所示的校正影像20示意圖,其中,由距離運算單元140所辨識及計算出距離值的立體物件201、202到206包括車輛以及建築物。在每個立體物件201到206周圍適當之處,分別標識有距離值的數值211、212到216,用以提示使用者每個立體物件201到206與視平線之間的距離。藉此,具有雙眼視覺缺陷的使用者即使無法分辨影像中各個立體物件的距離,仍可藉由融合在校正影像20的距離值數值而獲得立體物件的前、後關係,以及與視平線間距離值的立體資訊。例如在第二圖中,根據距離值的數值211到216依序標示出的3、5、20、20、120及200,不但可得知該等立體物件201到206彼此間的相對距離,還可得知每一立體物件201到206與視平線間的絕對距離。A schematic diagram of the corrected image 20 as shown in the second figure, wherein the three-dimensional objects 201, 202 to 206 recognized by the distance calculating unit 140 and calculating the distance value include a vehicle and a building. Appropriately around each of the three-dimensional objects 201 to 206, values 211, 212 through 216 of distance values are respectively identified to prompt the user the distance between each of the three-dimensional objects 201 to 206 and the eye level. Thereby, even if the user with binocular visual defects can not distinguish the distance of each three-dimensional object in the image, the front and back relationship of the three-dimensional object can be obtained by merging the distance value value of the corrected image 20, and the eye level Stereoscopic information of distance values. For example, in the second figure, according to the values 211 to 216 of the distance values, 3, 5, 20, 20, 120, and 200 are sequentially indicated, not only the relative distance between the three-dimensional objects 201 to 206 but also the relative distance between them. The absolute distance between each of the three-dimensional objects 201 to 206 and the eye level can be known.

在立體資訊融合單元144融合立體資訊到基準影像,並產生校正影像之後或同時,警示比對單元146可讀取暫存單元142所暫存的各距離值,並將每一距離值分別與一 預設的門檻值進行比對。設置所述的門檻值係考慮到:具有雙眼視覺缺陷的使用者無法正確地判斷出立體物件與自身的距離,若使用者與眼前的景物越來越接近而不自知、或無法在短時間內作出反應,則有可能因太過靠近立體物件而發生碰撞。本系統所預設的門檻值,即係用於確認視平線與校正影像中的任一立體物件之間的距離,是否已接近到可能發生碰撞。當警示比對單元146比對出任一距離值已等於或小於門檻值時,即會產生一警示訊息,例如動態閃爍的警告文字。After the stereo information fusion unit 144 fuses the stereo information to the reference image and generates the corrected image, or at the same time, the alert comparison unit 146 can read the distance values temporarily stored by the temporary storage unit 142, and each distance value is respectively The preset threshold values are compared. Setting the threshold value considers that a user with binocular visual defects cannot correctly determine the distance between the three-dimensional object and himself, and if the user is closer to the scene in front of the scene, he or she does not know, or cannot be short. When the reaction is made within a time, it is possible to collide because it is too close to the three-dimensional object. The threshold value preset by the system is used to confirm whether the distance between the eye level line and any three-dimensional object in the corrected image is close to a possible collision. When the alert comparison unit 146 compares any distance value that is equal to or less than the threshold value, a warning message, such as a dynamic flashing warning text, is generated.

顯示單元16連接於影像處理單元14,用以接收並呈現由影像處理單元14所處理完畢的資料。上述立體資訊融合單元144所產生的校正影像,以及警示比對單元146所產生的警示訊息,皆會傳送到顯示單元16,由顯示單元16輸出校正影像的畫面,以及在顯示單元16顯示出警告文字,藉此以提供具有立體資訊的影像畫面給使用者,同時對可能產生的危險提供預警的功能。The display unit 16 is connected to the image processing unit 14 for receiving and presenting the data processed by the image processing unit 14. The corrected image generated by the stereo information fusion unit 144 and the warning message generated by the alert comparison unit 146 are transmitted to the display unit 16, and the display unit 16 outputs a corrected image and displays a warning on the display unit 16. Text, which provides a function of providing an image with stereoscopic information to the user while providing an early warning of possible dangers.

所述的立體視覺資訊補償系統1可設置在頭盔式或眼鏡式的視覺輔助裝置上,顯示單元16可為設置正對使用者雙眼的液晶螢幕或類似的影像輸出元件,並將影像擷取單元10、12設置在顯示單元16上方,分別垂直地對應到使用者左、右兩眼的位置,以獲得最接近使用者雙眼接收的平面影像。影像處理單元14則可設置在頭盔或眼鏡側邊或後方,以接收影像擷取單元10、12所擷取到的平面影像,以及產生校正影像及警示訊息。The stereoscopic information compensation system 1 can be disposed on a helmet-type or glasses-type visual aid device, and the display unit 16 can be a liquid crystal screen or a similar image output component disposed opposite the user's eyes, and capture the image. The units 10, 12 are disposed above the display unit 16 and respectively vertically correspond to the positions of the left and right eyes of the user to obtain a planar image that is closest to the user's eyes. The image processing unit 14 can be disposed at the side or the rear of the helmet or the glasses to receive the planar image captured by the image capturing units 10 and 12, and generate corrected images and warning messages.

除了顯示出立體物件的距離值數值之外,本發明所揭露的技術手段還可提供其他立體資訊,以輔助具有雙眼視 覺缺陷的使用者辨識立體物件。In addition to displaying the value of the distance value of the three-dimensional object, the technical means disclosed by the present invention can also provide other stereo information to assist in binocular viewing. The user of the defect identifies the three-dimensional object.

第三圖為本發明提供的一種立體視覺資訊補償系統第二實施例的方塊圖。第二實施例的立體視覺資訊補償系統1a較第一實施例更包含了一警示單元18;並且在影像處理單元14a更包括一比對表148。The third figure is a block diagram of a second embodiment of a stereoscopic information compensation system provided by the present invention. The stereoscopic information compensation system 1a of the second embodiment further includes an alert unit 18 as compared with the first embodiment; and further includes an alignment table 148 at the image processing unit 14a.

當距離運算單元140根據基準影像及參考影像而計算出各個立體物件的距離值,並且將距離值一一暫存在暫存單元142後,立體資訊融合單元144可根據暫存單元142中的記錄以及比對表148的內容,取得立體物件的立體資訊,以便產生校正影像。When the distance calculation unit 140 calculates the distance values of the respective three-dimensional objects according to the reference image and the reference image, and temporarily stores the distance values in the temporary storage unit 142, the stereo information fusion unit 144 can be based on the records in the temporary storage unit 142 and Comparing the contents of the table 148, the stereoscopic information of the three-dimensional object is obtained to generate a corrected image.

比對表148記錄了複數立體資訊和複數距離資料,每一項立體資訊和每一距離資料一對一互相對應。所述的複數距離資料可為前後相接續但不重疊的距離區段。立體資訊融合單元144可從暫存單元142讀取出其中一項距離值,將距離值與比對表148中記錄的距離資料進行比對,當所讀取的距離值與比對表148的其中一項特定距離資料相符時(例如所述距離值落入其中一段距離區段的範圍內),立體資訊融合單元144即選取與該項距離資料所對應的立體資訊。立體資訊融合單元144可利用影像邊緣偵測的技術,例如Sobel邊緣偵測法,辨識出基準影像中各個立體物件的邊緣,並依據所選取的立體資訊來變更該立體物件的輪廓。藉由立體物件的輪廓變化來顯示不同立體物件的遠、近關係,以及與視平線的的距離。The comparison table 148 records the complex stereo information and the complex distance data, and each of the stereo information and each distance data correspond to each other one-to-one. The plurality of distance data may be distance segments that are consecutive but not overlapping. The stereo information fusion unit 144 can read one of the distance values from the temporary storage unit 142, and compare the distance value with the distance data recorded in the comparison table 148, when the read distance value and the comparison table 148 When one of the specific distance data matches (for example, the distance value falls within a range of the distance segment), the stereo information fusion unit 144 selects the stereo information corresponding to the distance data. The stereo information fusion unit 144 can use the image edge detection technology, such as the Sobel edge detection method, to identify the edges of the three-dimensional objects in the reference image, and change the contour of the three-dimensional object according to the selected stereo information. The far and near relationship of different three-dimensional objects and the distance from the eye-level line are displayed by the contour change of the three-dimensional object.

立體資訊可包括色彩資訊,依照不同距離資料所指出的距離遠、近程度,分別對應不同的顏色或亮度。例如:越接近視平面的距離區段所對應的色彩資訊越偏向暖色系 ,且亮度越高;越遠離視平面的距離區段對應到的色彩資訊越偏冷色系,且亮度越低。The stereoscopic information may include color information, and the distances and distances indicated by the different distance data respectively correspond to different colors or brightnesses. For example, the closer the distance to the view plane, the more the color information corresponding to the warm color And the higher the brightness; the farther away from the viewing plane, the more the color information corresponding to the color information is, the lower the brightness is.

例如:3公尺以下的距離區段對應紅色;超過3公尺到10公尺以下的距離區段對應桃紅色;超過10公尺到25公尺以下的距離區段對應橘紅色;超過100公尺到150公尺以下對應藍色,依此類推。以第二圖的校正影像示意圖為例,距離運算單元140計算出立體物件203及205的距離值分別為20公尺及120公尺。根據比對表148的記錄資料,立體物件203的距離值介於指示出10到25公尺的距離區段中,因此對應到橘紅色;而立體物件205的距離值落入指示出100到150公尺的距離區段中,因此對應藍色。For example, a distance section below 3 meters corresponds to red; a distance section of more than 3 meters to 10 meters corresponds to pink; a distance of more than 10 meters to 25 meters corresponds to orange; more than 100 The ruler to 150 meters below the blue, and so on. Taking the corrected image diagram of the second figure as an example, the distance calculating unit 140 calculates the distance values of the three-dimensional objects 203 and 205 to be 20 meters and 120 meters, respectively. According to the recorded data of the comparison table 148, the distance value of the three-dimensional object 203 is in a distance section indicating 10 to 25 meters, and thus corresponds to orange-red; and the distance value of the three-dimensional object 205 falls within the indication of 100 to 150. The distance of the meter is in the section, so it corresponds to blue.

立體資訊融合單元144即可沿著立體物件203以橘紅色描繪建築物的輪廓;以及以藍色描繪立體物件204的輪廓。當校正影像顯示在顯示單元16時,使用者即可透過校正影像中各個立體物件的不同邊緣色彩,判斷出各個立體物件的距離。The stereoscopic information fusion unit 144 may depict the outline of the building in orange-red along the three-dimensional object 203; and depict the outline of the three-dimensional object 204 in blue. When the corrected image is displayed on the display unit 16, the user can determine the distance of each of the three-dimensional objects by correcting the different edge colors of the respective three-dimensional objects in the image.

在另一個實施例中,立體資訊亦可為陰影濃度資訊,例如:越接近視平面的距離區段對應到的陰影越濃重,而越遠離視平面的距離區段則對應到越淺淡的陰影。所述的陰影濃度可以灰階(grayscale)來表現。因此,立體資訊融合單元144可根據每一立體物件的距離值,選取相對應的灰階值後,沿著立體物件一側的邊緣,變更與邊緣相臨的像素的灰階值,使立體物件的邊緣呈現出濃、淡不同的陰影。使用者也可藉由每個立體物件的陰影濃度得知立體物件的距離。In another embodiment, the stereo information may also be shadow concentration information, for example, the closer the distance to the view plane, the thicker the shadow corresponding to the segment, and the farther away from the view plane, the lighter the shadow. . The shadow density can be expressed in grayscale. Therefore, the stereo information fusion unit 144 can select the corresponding grayscale value according to the distance value of each three-dimensional object, and then change the grayscale value of the pixel adjacent to the edge along the edge of the solid object side to make the three-dimensional object. The edges of the edges show a thick, light shadow. The user can also know the distance of the three-dimensional object by the shadow concentration of each three-dimensional object.

在另一個實施例中,立體資訊還可以是線條寬度資訊 。比對表148所記錄的不同距離資料一一對應不同的線條寬度,例如:距離值在3公尺以下,線條寬度為10個畫素寬;超過3公尺到10公尺以內,線條寬度為9個畫素寬,依此類推。立體資訊融合單元144可根據距離值所對應到的距離資料而選取相對的線條寬度,並根據所選取的線條寬度,沿著立體物件的邊緣變更相鄰畫素的內容,以使立體物件的邊緣可隨著距離值的大小而顯示出不同的輪廓寬度。如第七圖所示之示意圖,根據立體物件的輪廓寬度差異,可得知第七圖中的立體物件201a與203a相較,立體物件203a的距離較遠,而立體物件206a的距離又比立體物203a更遠。In another embodiment, the stereo information may also be line width information. . The different distance data recorded in the comparison table 148 corresponds to different line widths, for example, the distance value is less than 3 meters, the line width is 10 pixels wide; the distance is more than 3 meters to 10 meters, and the line width is 9 pixels are wide, and so on. The stereo information fusion unit 144 may select a relative line width according to the distance data corresponding to the distance value, and change the content of the adjacent pixels along the edge of the three-dimensional object according to the selected line width to make the edge of the three-dimensional object Different contour widths can be displayed as the distance value. As shown in the seventh figure, according to the difference in the contour width of the three-dimensional object, it can be seen that the three-dimensional object 201a and 203a in the seventh figure are relatively far apart, and the distance of the three-dimensional object 206a is longer than that of the three-dimensional object 206a. Object 203a is further away.

立體資訊融合單元144以基準影像的畫面為基礎,將基準影像中各個立體物件依照所對應的立體資訊改變其輪廓外觀,以產生校正影像,並傳送到顯示單元16顯示。The stereoscopic information fusion unit 144 changes the outline appearance of each of the three-dimensional objects in the reference image according to the corresponding stereoscopic information based on the image of the reference image to generate a corrected image, and transmits the corrected image to the display unit 16 for display.

警示比對單元146讀取暫存單元142所暫存的距離值,並與預設的門檻值進行比對,當判斷出特定距離值小於或等於門檻值時,產生警示訊息。本實施例中的警示訊息可為聲音訊息,如連續而短促的提示音;警示單元18可為擴音裝置,用以接收聲音訊息並加以播放,以引起使用者的注意。在另一實施例中,警示單元18可為一發光裝置,如發光二極體(LED),根據警示比對單元146發出的警示訊息而閃爍,提示使用者與立體物件過於接近。The warning comparison unit 146 reads the distance value temporarily stored by the temporary storage unit 142 and compares it with the preset threshold value. When it is determined that the specific distance value is less than or equal to the threshold value, a warning message is generated. The alert message in this embodiment may be a voice message, such as a continuous and short prompt tone; the alert unit 18 may be a sound amplifying device for receiving and playing a sound message to draw the user's attention. In another embodiment, the warning unit 18 can be a light-emitting device, such as a light-emitting diode (LED), blinking according to the warning message sent by the warning comparison unit 146, prompting the user to be too close to the three-dimensional object.

為了保障具有雙眼視覺缺陷的使用者的安全,在另一個實施例當中,警示比對單元146可同時產生警示訊息到顯示單元16,以及輸出警示訊息到警示單元18,以便於使用者太過接近立體物件時,可同時接收多方的警示,如聽 到擴音裝置輸出的提示音以及顯示單元16上的警告文字,以避免使用者與立體物件發生碰撞。In order to ensure the safety of the user with binocular visual defects, in another embodiment, the alert comparison unit 146 can simultaneously generate an alert message to the display unit 16, and output an alert message to the alert unit 18, so that the user is too When approaching a three-dimensional object, you can receive multiple warnings at the same time, such as listening The prompt sound outputted to the sound amplification device and the warning text on the display unit 16 are used to prevent the user from colliding with the three-dimensional object.

在另一實施例中,立體資訊融合單元144可根據立體物件在基準影像和參考影像的畫面及角度差異,利用立體影像繪圖的技術,將平面影像中以二維平面方式呈現的立體物件,轉換為具有立體效果的透視圖,並輔以距離值的數值搭配呈現在顯示單元16上,以提供另一種校正影像供使用者觀看。如同人類雙眼分別接收影像畫面時,因雙眼之間的距離差異,造成左、右眼接收到的畫面視角略有差異,本實施例中的影像擷取單元10、12亦然。In another embodiment, the stereo information fusion unit 144 can convert the three-dimensional object in the two-dimensional plane in the planar image according to the difference between the image and the angle of the reference image and the reference image of the three-dimensional object. A perspective view having a stereoscopic effect is presented on the display unit 16 with a numerical value of the distance value to provide another corrected image for the user to view. When the human eyes receive the image images respectively, the image viewing angles received by the left and right eyes are slightly different due to the difference in the distance between the eyes. The image capturing units 10 and 12 in this embodiment are also the same.

請參考第四A圖及四B圖分別顯示影像擷取單元10及12擷取同一立體物件之影像所產生的基準影像4a和參考影像4b的示意圖。其中,基準影像4a相較於參考影像4b多了左側視角的畫面細節,即影像中的42區塊,而參考影像4b則包含了基準影像4a所未顯示的右側視角的畫面細節,即44區塊。立體資訊融合單元144可根據基準影像及參考影像萃取出所述立體物件的特徵,如色澤、紋理或形狀,找出所述立體物件在二個影像中的對應部分,如基準影像4a與參考影像4b的40a與的40b區塊互相對應。Please refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B respectively to display schematic diagrams of the reference image 4a and the reference image 4b generated by the image capturing units 10 and 12 capturing images of the same three-dimensional object. The reference image 4a has more picture details of the left side view than the reference image 4b, that is, 42 blocks in the image, and the reference image 4b includes the picture detail of the right side view not displayed by the reference image 4a, that is, the area 44. Piece. The stereo information fusion unit 144 can extract features of the three-dimensional object, such as color, texture or shape, according to the reference image and the reference image, and find corresponding parts of the three-dimensional object in the two images, such as the reference image 4a and the reference image. The 40a of 4b and the 40b block correspond to each other.

立體資訊融合單元144可將基準影像4a與參考影像4b中特有的部分整合,使得產生出來的校正影像4c(參照第四C圖)同時顯現出基準影4a像與參考影像4b所具有的影像畫面。如第四C圖所示,校正影像4c所顯示的立體物件以基準影像4a為基礎,包括二個影像中像對應的40a區域、基準影像4a的42區域及參考影像4b的44區域,並利用光亮面或陰暗面的效果來顯現融合後之物件的立體效 果。例如第四C圖中,分別將42a及44a區域以陰暗面表示,40a區域以光亮面表示;在其他實施例中,亦可僅以光亮面之40a搭配單邊陰暗面42a或44a來表現立體資訊,以提供使用者判斷其為立體物件的依據。The stereoscopic information fusion unit 144 can integrate the reference image 4a with a portion unique to the reference image 4b, so that the generated corrected image 4c (refer to the fourth C map) simultaneously displays the image image of the reference image 4a image and the reference image 4b. . As shown in FIG. 4C, the stereoscopic object displayed on the corrected image 4c is based on the reference image 4a, and includes a 40a region corresponding to the image in the two images, a 42 region of the reference image 4a, and a 44 region of the reference image 4b, and is utilized. The effect of a glossy or dark surface to reveal the stereoscopic effect of the merged object fruit. For example, in the fourth C, the regions 42a and 44a are respectively indicated by a dark surface, and the region 40a is represented by a glossy surface. In other embodiments, the stereoscopic information may be expressed only by the 40a of the glossy surface with the single dark side 42a or 44a. To provide the user with the basis for judging it as a three-dimensional object.

第五圖提供一種立體視覺資訊補償方法第一實施例的流程圖,請配合參閱第一圖以利說明。所述方法實施例是以設置在同一視平線,且間隔一定寬度的複數個影像擷取單元10、12個別對同一場景擷取平面影像(S501),每一平面影像中都包括相同的至少一個立體物件。影像擷取單元10所擷取的平面影像為基準影像,影像擷取單元12所擷取的平面影像及為參考影像。The fifth figure provides a flowchart of the first embodiment of the stereoscopic information compensation method. Please refer to the first figure for explanation. In the embodiment of the method, a plurality of image capturing units 10 and 12 disposed at the same viewing line and spaced apart by a certain width respectively capture a planar image of the same scene (S501), and each planar image includes the same at least A three-dimensional object. The plane image captured by the image capturing unit 10 is a reference image, and the plane image captured by the image capturing unit 12 is a reference image.

在複數平面影像當中,因影像擷取單元10、12設置位置的差異,使得平面影像中的同一項立體物件在基準影像及參考影像中所顯示的位置不完全重疊。In the plurality of planar images, due to the difference in position of the image capturing units 10 and 12, the positions of the same three-dimensional object in the planar image displayed in the reference image and the reference image do not completely overlap.

影像擷取單元10、12將平面影像傳送到影像處理單元14進行處理。其中,距離運算單元140執行影像對應分析,以辨識出基準影像及參考影像中相同的立體物件;並且根據立體物件的像素資料,計算出立體物件在基準影像和參考影像之間的像差(S503)。距離運算單元140更進一步依據影像擷取單元10、12之間所間隔的寬度以及立體物件的像差,利用三角幾何關係計算出立體物件相對於視平線的距離值(S505)。The image capturing units 10 and 12 transmit the planar images to the image processing unit 14 for processing. The distance computing unit 140 performs image correspondence analysis to identify the same three-dimensional object in the reference image and the reference image; and calculates the aberration between the reference image and the reference image according to the pixel data of the three-dimensional object (S503) ). The distance calculating unit 140 further calculates the distance value of the three-dimensional object with respect to the eye-level line based on the width of the space between the image capturing units 10 and 12 and the aberration of the three-dimensional object (S505).

距離運算單元140將計算出來的各立體物件的距離值一一記錄到暫存單元142(S507)。立體資訊融合單元144自暫存單元142讀取立體物件的立體資訊,也就是各個立體物件所對應的距離值的數值,並以基準影像的畫面為基 礎,一一將暫存單元142的距離值融合到影像中相對應的立體物件(S509),以產生一校正影像(S511),並傳送到顯示單元16以供顯示。校正影像中即融合了立體物件的畫面以及各立體物件所對應的距離值數值。The distance operation unit 140 records the calculated distance values of the respective three-dimensional objects one by one to the temporary storage unit 142 (S507). The stereo information fusion unit 144 reads the stereo information of the three-dimensional object from the temporary storage unit 142, that is, the value of the distance value corresponding to each three-dimensional object, and based on the image of the reference image. Basically, the distance value of the temporary storage unit 142 is fused to the corresponding three-dimensional object in the image (S509) to generate a corrected image (S511), and transmitted to the display unit 16 for display. In the corrected image, the picture of the three-dimensional object and the distance value corresponding to each three-dimensional object are integrated.

警示比對單元146亦可讀取暫存單元142中所記錄的各項距離值,並分別與一預設的門檻值進行比對,以判斷是否有任一距離值等於或小於預設的門檻值(S513)。The alert comparison unit 146 can also read the distance values recorded in the temporary storage unit 142 and compare them with a preset threshold value to determine whether any distance value is equal to or smaller than a preset threshold. Value (S513).

若經警示比對單元146的判斷,偵測出所有的距離值都大於門檻值,代表場景中各立體物件與視平線的距離還保持有一段安全間距,不致讓使用者碰撞到任一立體物件,則警示比對單元146就不會產生警示訊息,顯示單元16可單純顯示已增添了立體資訊的校正影像(S515),以供使用者觀看並獲取影像中各立體物件與使用者之間的距離。If the warning comparison unit 146 determines that all the distance values are greater than the threshold value, the distance between each three-dimensional object and the eye level in the scene is maintained at a safe distance, so that the user does not collide with any stereo. For the object, the warning comparison unit 146 does not generate a warning message, and the display unit 16 can simply display the corrected image with the added stereo information (S515) for the user to view and acquire between the three-dimensional objects and the user in the image. the distance.

反之,若警示比對單元146判斷出任一距離值小於或等於門檻值,則代表視平線與至少一立體物件間的距離過於接近,可能造成使用者與該立體物件發生碰撞的危險,此時警示比對單元146即可產生一警示訊息(S517),如一段警告文字。接著再將校正影像及警示文字皆傳送到顯示單元16,由顯示單元16顯示包含有立體資訊的校正影像以及警示訊息(S519)。On the other hand, if the warning comparison unit 146 determines that any distance value is less than or equal to the threshold value, the distance between the eye level line and the at least one three-dimensional object is too close, which may cause the user to collide with the three-dimensional object. The alert comparison unit 146 can generate a warning message (S517), such as a warning text. Then, the corrected image and the warning text are transmitted to the display unit 16, and the corrected image including the stereoscopic information and the warning message are displayed by the display unit 16 (S519).

第六圖再提供一種立體視覺資訊補償方法第二實施例之流程圖,請一併參照第二圖所示方塊圖。在本實施例中,同樣以複數個影像擷取單元10、12對同一場景擷取複數平面影像(S601),經過距離運算單元140執行影像對應分析找出平面影像中共同包含的立體物件,並計算出立體物件的像差(S603),以及利用像差與影像擷取單元10、12 間的間隔寬度計算出立體物件的距離值後(S605),再將被計算出來的一或多個立體物件的距離值暫存於暫存單元142(S607)。The sixth figure further provides a flowchart of the second embodiment of the stereoscopic information compensation method. Please refer to the block diagram shown in the second figure. In the embodiment, the plurality of image capturing units 10 and 12 capture the complex planar image for the same scene (S601), and the distance computing unit 140 performs the image correspondence analysis to find the three-dimensional object commonly included in the planar image, and Calculating the aberration of the three-dimensional object (S603), and using the aberration and image capturing unit 10, 12 After calculating the distance value of the three-dimensional object (S605), the calculated distance value of the one or more three-dimensional objects is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 142 (S607).

與第五圖所示流程不同之處,在於第六圖所示實施例中,立體資訊融合單元144從暫存單元142讀取出一項距離值後,以該項距離值對照比對表148中的記錄,以獲得對應於該項距離值的一立體資訊(S609)。比對表148中記錄了複數的立體資訊,每一立體資訊對應一項距離資料,立體資訊融合單元144將讀取出來的距離值和比對表148所記錄的各項距離資料一一比對,當判斷出比對中的距離值符合其中一項距離資料時,即選取該項距離資料所對應的立體資訊,以指定為進行比對之距離值所對應之立體物件的立體資訊(S611)。The difference from the flow shown in FIG. 5 is that in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 , the stereo information fusion unit 144 reads a distance value from the temporary storage unit 142 and compares the comparison table 148 with the distance value. The record in the middle to obtain a stereoscopic information corresponding to the distance value (S609). The comparison table 148 records a plurality of stereoscopic information, each stereoscopic information corresponds to a distance data, and the stereo information fusion unit 144 compares the read distance values with the distance data recorded by the comparison table 148. When it is determined that the distance value in the comparison matches one of the distance data, the stereo information corresponding to the distance data is selected to specify the stereoscopic information of the three-dimensional object corresponding to the distance value (S611). .

當立體資訊融合單元144完成暫存單元142所記錄的各項距離值的比對,並且分別讀取出對應於各項距離值的立體資訊後,即以基準影像的畫面為基礎,將讀取出來的立體資訊一一融合到影像中相符的立體物件,以產生一校正影像(S613)。本實施例中的立體資訊可包括色彩資訊、陰影濃度資訊或線條寬度資訊,立體資訊融合單元144可根據上述的立體資訊修改影像中各個立體物件的輪廓,藉由改變立體物件在平面影像上的二維外觀輪廓,以標示出立體物件的距離。例如第七圖所示之示意圖,立體資訊融合單元144根據各個立體物件201a到206a的立體資訊,將各立體物件的邊緣依照距離值的不同,分別產生不同寬度的輪廓,相對應於第二圖所示實施例之距離值,其中,立體物件201a及202a的距離值相同且最近,因此皆呈現 出較寬的輪廓線條;反觀距離值最大(亦即距離最遠)的立體物件206a,其輪廓線條則較細。藉此以輔助使用者根據立體物件輪廓的清晰度來判斷立體物件的距離遠近。利用陰影濃度的濃、淡做差異化的顯示,亦屬相同原理,不再贅述。本實施例其他細節說明,請參閱第二圖所示之實施例內容。When the stereo information fusion unit 144 completes the comparison of the distance values recorded by the temporary storage unit 142, and reads the stereo information corresponding to each distance value, the stereo information is read based on the image of the reference image. The stereoscopic information is integrated into the three-dimensional object in the image to generate a corrected image (S613). The stereoscopic information in this embodiment may include color information, shadow density information or line width information. The stereo information fusion unit 144 may modify the contour of each three-dimensional object in the image according to the stereo information, by changing the three-dimensional object on the planar image. A two-dimensional outline of the outline to indicate the distance of the three-dimensional object. For example, in the schematic diagram shown in FIG. 7 , the stereo information fusion unit 144 generates the contours of different widths according to the distance values according to the stereo information of the three-dimensional objects 201 a to 206 a, corresponding to the second map. The distance value of the illustrated embodiment, wherein the distance values of the three-dimensional objects 201a and 202a are the same and closest, and thus are presented A wider outline line is formed; in contrast, the three-dimensional object 206a having the largest distance value (that is, the farthest distance) has a thin outline line. Thereby, the user is assisted to determine the distance of the three-dimensional object according to the sharpness of the contour of the three-dimensional object. The display of the difference between the dark and the light of the shadow density is also the same principle and will not be described again. For further details of this embodiment, please refer to the embodiment of the second figure.

警示比對單元146亦讀取暫存單元142所暫存的距離值,並一一與預設門檻值比對,判斷是否有任一距離值等於或小於門檻值(S615):若各個立體物件的距離值都大於門檻值,顯示單元16即可顯示立體資訊融合單元144產生的校正影像(S617);但若偵測到有任一項距離值等於或小於門檻值時,警示比對單元146即產生一警示訊息(S619),如提示音或閃光,並於顯示單元16顯示校正影像的同時,由警示單元18輸出警示訊息(S621)。The warning comparison unit 146 also reads the distance value temporarily stored by the temporary storage unit 142, and compares it with the preset threshold value to determine whether any distance value is equal to or smaller than the threshold value (S615): if each three-dimensional object The distance value is greater than the threshold value, and the display unit 16 can display the corrected image generated by the stereo information fusion unit 144 (S617); but if any distance value is detected to be equal to or smaller than the threshold value, the alert comparison unit 146 That is, a warning message (S619) is generated, such as a beep or flash, and the warning unit 18 outputs an alert message while the display unit 16 displays the corrected image (S621).
