Therefore, when the camera is installed, if one axis of the camera coordinate system is aligned with the horizontal axis with respect to the vehicle, the horizontal attitude can be easily calibrated later as a reference. As a result, the camera coordinate system (Xc, Yc, Zc) may be converted into the vehicle coordinate system. (Xt, Yt, Zt), and the deviation may be measured and evaluated.

- FIG. 35 shows the details of the moving object vector extraction processing.
- the camera vector that is, the camera position and direction are already three-dimensionally determined in the camera vector determination unit S3401 based on the stationary coordinate system.
- feature points other than the stationary coordinate system are selected and extracted from all the feature points, and it is determined that they include the feature point in the moving object.
- Acquisition point calculation • Tracking the feature point in the camera movement in the S3403, tabulating it and storing it in a table t'f temporarily, and calculating the total of the feature points of the moving object by the following process.
- this table different camera position groups are generated for each moving object. 'Even if there is only one camera, the moving object is observed as a group of features ⁇ , so that the group corresponds to one camera position, so that multiple camera positions are different for each feature point corresponding to the moving object. 'You will be guessed.
- 'A plurality of camera position classifiers S3405 viewed from the feature point coordinate system determine the camera positions, and the moving object is classified for each camera position.
- a feature point classifying unit S3406 which is a group for each camera position, feature points are classified for each moving object.
- the camera position and the moving object are relative movements, coordinate conversion can be performed at any time. Then, in the coordinate system determining unit S3407 of each feature point group viewed from the stationary coordinate system, the camera is returned to the original stationary coordinate system display, thereby moving the feature point group and the coordinate determining unit S3408 by each moving body. The coordinates of the feature points for each body can also be converted to a stationary coordinate system. As a result, the moving object extracting unit S3409 can three-dimensionally extract the moving object into the stationary coordinate system.
- the calculation is simplified in order to pursue real-time performance, and a recording medium such as a large node disk is not used.
- a recording medium such as a large node disk is not used.
- FIG. 36 shows an automatic take-off and landing device as an application example of the real-time navigation device.
- FIG. 1 shows an example in which the real-time navigation device according to the present embodiment is applied as an automatic landing / landing device (or guidance device) of an aircraft.
- a wide-angle camera is installed at an arbitrary position on the ground side of the aircraft.
- the camera shoots the ground side and captures part of the runway in its field of view.
- a sufficient number of feature points are automatically detected and tracked in the video taken by the camera, and the three-dimensional position and attitude of the aircraft are calculated by calculation.
- a known object on the ground is taken, compared with the known parts stored in the database, recognized in the video, and named. Check the shape and coordinates.
- Examples of applications of the navigation device similar to the above are, for example, (1) automatic take-off and landing device, (2) automatic docking device for spacecraft, (3) automatic stop position securing device for train vehicles, (4) It can be applied to automatic parking equipment, (5) automatic ship berthing equipment, and the like.
- the navigation device according to the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment.
- the navigation device according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment but is within the scope of the present invention. It goes without saying that various modifications can be made.
- the moving object to which the navigation device is applied is not limited to a vehicle traveling on the ground, and may be one that navigates in a three-dimensional space. Since it can be used on an airplane, navigation with high accuracy at the time of landing is possible. In addition, navigation with a space model is also possible, using M and constellations as feature points visible from the spacecraft. ,
- the present invention provides, for example, a car navigation device mounted on an automobile, a navigation device mounted on an airplane, a navigation device for automatic driving, and a navigation device for a robot. It can be used as a suitable navigation device.
