현대 사회에서 컴퓨터 정보기술의 발전으로 정보기기 사용이 보편화됨에 따라 사용기기와 인간 사이에, 자연스러운 상호작용의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 정보기기는 텍스트 위주의 인터페이스에서, 인간의 다양한 제스쳐 등을 사용하고 사용자 경험을 중요시 하는 MMI(Man-Machine Interface) 방식으로 발전하고 있다.As the use of information devices is becoming more common due to the development of computer information technology in the modern society, the importance of natural interaction between devices and humans is increasing. Accordingly, information devices are evolving from a text-oriented interface to a man-machine interface (MMI) method that uses various human gestures and emphasizes user experience.
이러한 MMI 방식은 직관적인 도구인 손을 이용하여 직접 정보를 입력하기 때문에 별도의 입력장치가 필요하지 않고, 사용자 훈련 여부와 관계없이 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 최근에는 다양한 유저 인터페이스 환경을 제공하기 위하여 디스플레이 모듈에 터치패드를 결합한 터치스크린이 스마트 디바이스에 채용되고 있으며, 이로 인하여 사용자는 디스플레이 모듈에 구현된 화면을 보면서 다양한 사용자 명력을 입력하거나 기능을 선택할 수 있게 되었다.Since the MMI method directly inputs information by using an intuitive tool, it does not need a separate input device and has an advantage that it can be used regardless of user training. Recently, in order to provide various user interface environments, a touch screen in which a touch pad is combined with a display module has been adopted in a smart device. As a result, a user can input various user names or select a function while viewing a screen implemented in the display module. It became.
그러나, 종래의 터치스크린을 이용한 스마트 디바이스에서는 사용자가 단순히 스마트 디바이스의 화면에 디스플레이된 메뉴 또는 아이콘을 손가락으로 터치함으로써 상기 메뉴 또는 아이콘과 관련된 기능을 선택할 수 있을 뿐, 사용자의 동작에 따른 다양한 유저 인터페이스 환경을 제공하지 못하는 문제가 있다.However, in a smart device using a conventional touch screen, the user can select a function related to the menu or icon by simply touching a menu or icon displayed on the screen of the smart device with a finger, and various user interfaces according to the user's operation. There is a problem of not providing the environment.

Therefore, a problem occurs in that another image or text, which is arranged adjacent to the specific image, is touched, and there is a problem of frequently covering the screen by a finger.
또한, 이러한 터치스크린은 손가락이나 터치팬 등을 통해 반드시 접촉해야지만 기기 조작이 가능함에 따라 잦은 터치가 이루어짐에 따라 액정 손상이나, 특정 부분의 인식이 저하될 수 있다. 따라서 사용자가 터치스크린을 접촉하지 않고도 원하는 기능을 실행시키기 위한 새로운 입력 방법이 구현될 필요성이 있다.In addition, the touch screen must be touched by a finger or a touch fan, but as the device can be manipulated, frequent touches may cause damage to liquid crystals or deterioration of recognition of certain parts. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a new input method for executing a desired function without the user touching the touch screen.

본 발명은 스테레오 비전 방식에 따라 대상객체의 거리를 추정한다. 스테레오 비전 시스템을 이용하여 거리를 추정하는 방식의 경우, 카메라로부터 각각 촬영된 영상을 매칭시켜 깊이 맵(depth map)을 생성한다. 그리고 깊이 맵과 각각 촬영된 영상을 이용하여 대상객체를 검출하고, 상기 검출된 대상객체 내의 시차 평균을 구한다. 스테레오 비전 시스템에서는 상기 구해진 시차를 이용하여 객체의 거리를 추정할 수 있다. 이러한 스테레오 비전 기술을 이용하여 객체의 거리를 추정하는 기술은, 이미 넓게 쓰이고 있는 위치 추적 기술로 여기에서는 그에 대한 상세한 설명은 생략하기로 한다.The present invention estimates the distance of the target object according to the stereo vision method. In the case of estimating distance using a stereo vision system, a depth map is generated by matching images captured by cameras. The target object is detected using the depth map and the captured images, and the parallax average in the detected target object is obtained. In the stereo vision system, the distance of an object may be estimated using the obtained parallax. The technique of estimating the distance of an object using the stereo vision technique is a widely used position tracking technique, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
객체 검출부(410)는 카메라별 영상정보를 매칭하여 깊이 맵(depth map)을 산출하고, 산출된 깊이 맵을 기반으로 영상정보 내 대상객체를 검출한다. 이에 따라, 모양 인식부(420)에서는 대상객체의 특정모양을 인식할 수 있게 되며, 위치 측정부(430)에서는 검출된 대상객체의 중심부분에 대한 시차 값을 구하여 카메라와 대상객체와의 거리를 구할 수 있게 된다. 상기 깊이 맵을 산출하기 위한 매칭 방법으로는 DP(Dynamic Programming), BP(Belief Propagation), Graph-cut 등과 같은 방법을 사용할 수 있다. 또한, 깊이 맵을 이용하여 객체를 검출하는 과정은 다양한 방식을 이용하여 객체를 추출할 수 있으며, 본 발명에서는 수직 시차맵(V-disparity)을 이용하여 수직 시차맵에 맵핑된 시차 값의 분포에 따라 영상정보에 포함된 객체를 검출한다. 즉, 수직 시차맵을 이용하여 감소 경향과 다른 시차값을 갖는 영역의 합을 대상객체 영역으로 검출거나, 같은 시차값을 갖는 픽셀들의 영역을 대상객체 영역으로 검출할 수 있다.The object detector 410 matches the image information for each camera to calculate a depth map, and detects a target object in the image information based on the calculated depth map. Accordingly, the shape recognition unit 420 may recognize the specific shape of the target object, and the position measuring unit 430 obtains a parallax value for the center portion of the detected target object and calculates a distance between the camera and the target object. Will be available. As a matching method for calculating the depth map, a method such as DP (Dynamic Programming), BP (Belief Propagation), and Graph-cut may be used. In addition, in the process of detecting an object using a depth map, an object may be extracted using various methods. In the present invention, a vertical parallax map (V-disparity) may be used to distribute a parallax value mapped to a vertical parallax map. Accordingly, the object included in the image information is detected. That is, the sum of regions having a disparity value and a disparity value different from the vertical disparity map may be detected as the target object region, or an area of pixels having the same disparity value may be detected as the target object region.
모양 인식부(420)는 상기 객체 검출부(410)를 통해 검출된 대상객체의 모양을 인식한다. 이에 따라, 본 발명은 검출된 대상객체의 특정모양의 인식 또는 모양 변화에 따라서도 비접촉 동작 인식 정보를 인식할 수 있게 된다. 예를 들어, 가위, 바위, 보와 같은 특정모양과, 펼쳐진 손바닥에서 손가락을 구부린 경우의 모양 변화를 통해 펼친 손가락과 접힌 손가락을 구별할 수 있으며, 이에 따라 기타, 피아노 등의 악기연주를 화면을 터치하지 않고 실제 악기를 다루듯 연주하거나, 생동감 있는 게임 제어를 수행할 수 있게 된다.The shape recognizer 420 recognizes the shape of the target object detected by the object detector 410. Accordingly, the present invention can recognize the non-contact motion recognition information according to the recognition or shape change of the specific shape of the detected target object. For example, you can distinguish between an extended finger and a folded finger by changing the shape of a certain shape such as scissors, rocks, beams, and bent fingers in an open palm. You can play like a real instrument without touching it, or perform live game control.
위치 측정부(430)는 대상객체의 카메라별 시차평균을 이용하여 대상객체의 위치를 측정한다. 본 발명의 위치 측정부(430)는 적어도 세개 이상의 카메라를 통해 획득한 영상정보를 기반으로 하여 대상객체의 위치를 산출하며, 인접한 카메라 사이의 중심위치에서 대상객체까지와의 거리를 각각 추정하고, 추정된 거리들의 최접점에 따라 대상객체에 대한 정확한 위치좌표(x, y, z)를 도출한다. 이에 따라, 두개의 카메라인 좌·우측 카메라만을 이용하여 위치파악하는 경우보다, 더욱 정확한 대상객체의 위치파악이 가능하다.The position measuring unit 430 measures the position of the target object using the parallax average for each camera of the target object. The position measuring unit 430 of the present invention calculates the position of the target object based on image information acquired through at least three cameras, estimates the distance from the center position between the adjacent cameras to the target object, respectively. The exact position coordinates (x, y, z) for the target object are derived according to the closest points of the estimated distances. Accordingly, it is possible to more accurately determine the position of the target object than when using only two cameras, the left and right cameras, for positioning.
예를 들어, 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 4개의 카메라(310a~310d)를 통해 영상정보를 획득하는 경우, 제1 카메라(310a) 및 제2 카메라(310b) 사이의 중심위치에서 대상객체까지와의 거리(a), 제2 카메라(310b) 및 제3 카메라(310c) 사이의 중심위치에서 대상객체까지와의 거리(b), 제3 카메라(310c) 및 제4 카메라(310d) 사이의 중심위치에서 대상객체까지와의 거리(c), 제4 카메라(310d) 및 제1 카메라(310a) 사이의 중심위치에서 대상객채까지와의 거리(d)를 스테레오 비전 알고리즘을 이용한 삼각 공식을 통해 각각 산출하고, 이를 통해 대상객체에 대한 정확한 위치좌표를 도출한다. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, when image information is acquired through four cameras 310a to 310d, the center object between the first camera 310a and the second camera 310b to the target object. Distance (a), distance from the center position between the second camera (310b) and the third camera (310c) to the target object (b), between the third camera (310c) and the fourth camera (310d) The distance (c) from the center position to the target object and the distance (d) from the center position between the fourth camera 310d and the first camera 310a to the target object through the trigonometric formula using the stereo vision algorithm Each of them is calculated and the correct position coordinates for the target object are derived.
정보 생성부(440)는 모양 인식부(420) 및 위치 측정부(430)를 통한 대상객체의 모양, 위치 및 크기 변화를 통해 비접촉 동작 인식 정보를 생성한다. 즉, 대상객체의 위치변화를 통해 상·하·좌·우·회전 움직임 방향 및 패턴, 속도를 추정할 수 있게 되며, 대상객체의 크기변화를 통해 모양변화 및 원근, 속도를 추정할 수 있게 되어 그에 대응되는 비접촉 동작 인식 정보를 생성할 수 있게 된다.The information generator 440 generates non-contact motion recognition information through the shape, position, and size change of the target object through the shape recognizer 420 and the position measurer 430. That is, it is possible to estimate the direction, pattern, and speed of the up, down, left, right, and rotational movements through the change of the position of the target object, and to estimate the shape change, perspective, and speed through the change of the size of the target object. It is possible to generate contactless motion recognition information corresponding thereto.
제어부(500)는 비접촉 동작 인식부로부터 비접촉 동작 인식 정보를 전달 받으면, 비접촉 동작 인식 정보를 파악하여 동작 제어 정보를 생성하고, 생성된 동작 제어 정보에 따른 화면 제어 신호를 디스플레이부(200)로 전송함으로써 디스플레이부의 화면을 제어할 수 있다. 또한, 제어부(500)는 동작 제어 정보에 따른 스마트 디바이스의 동작 제어를 수행한다.When the control unit 500 receives the non-contact motion recognition information from the non-contact motion recognition unit, the control unit 500 identifies the non-contact motion recognition information, generates motion control information, and transmits a screen control signal according to the generated motion control information to the display unit 200. By doing so, the screen of the display unit can be controlled. In addition, the controller 500 performs operation control of the smart device according to the operation control information.
더불어, 본 발명은 카메라 센서부(300)의 활성화 여부를 판단하기 위한 장치인 감지장치(700)를 추가로 포함하여 구성될 수도 있다. 본 발명의 감지장치(700)는 적외선, 초음파, 근접 센서 중 하나로 구성될 수 있으며, 카메라 센서부(300)는 일정시간 대상객체가 존재하지 않을 경우 대기상태로 있다가 감지장치(700)를 통해 대상객체의 존재가 감지될 경우 활성화 상태로 전환된다.In addition, the present invention may further include a sensing device 700 which is a device for determining whether the camera sensor unit 300 is activated. The sensing device 700 of the present invention may be configured as one of an infrared ray, an ultrasonic wave, and a proximity sensor, and the camera sensor unit 300 is in a standby state when a target object does not exist for a predetermined time, and then through the sensing device 700. When the presence of the target object is detected, the state is activated.
도 4는 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 스마트 디바이스의 비접촉 동작 제어 방법을 순차적으로 도시한 순서도이다.4 is a flowchart sequentially illustrating a method for controlling contactless operation of a smart device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 4에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명은 먼저 대상객체에 대한 영상정보를 적어도 세개 이상의 카메라를 통해 각각 획득한다(S810). 이어서, 스테레오 비전 방식을 이용하여 카메라별로 각각 촬영된 영상을 매칭시켜 깊이 맵을 생성한다(S820). As shown in FIG. 4, the present invention first obtains image information on a target object through at least three cameras (S810). Subsequently, a depth map is generated by matching images photographed for each camera using a stereo vision method (S820).
다음으로 생성된 깊이 맵을 기반으로 영상정보 내 대상객체를 검출한다(S830). 이때, 본 발명에서는 검출된 대상객체의 모양을 인식하여, 특정 모양의 인식 또는 모양 변화에 따라서도 비접촉 동작 인식 정보를 인식할 수도 있다. 예를 들어, 가위, 바위, 보 동작과 같은 특정모양과, 펼쳐진 손바닥에서 손가락을 구부린 경우의 모양 변화를 통해 펼친 손가락과 접힌 손가락을 구별할 수 있으며, 이에 따라 기타, 피아노 등의 악기연주를 화면을 터치하지 않고도 실제 악기를 다루듯 연주하거나, 생동감 있는 게임 제어를 수행할 수 있게 된다.Next, the target object in the image information is detected based on the generated depth map (S830). In this case, the present invention may recognize the detected shape of the target object, and may recognize the non-contact motion recognition information according to the recognition or change of the shape. For example, it is possible to distinguish between an extended finger and a folded finger by changing the shape of a bent finger in the open palm, such as scissors, rocks, and beam motions. You can play as if you were playing a real instrument, or perform live game control without touching.
이어서, 대상객체의 카메라별 시차평균을 이용하여 대상객체의 위치를 측정한다(S840). 본 발명에서는 적어도 세개 이상의 카메라를 통해 획득한 영상정보를 기반으로 하여 대상객체의 위치를 산출하며, 인접한 카메라 사이의 중심위치에서 대상객체까지와의 거리를 각각 추정하고, 추정된 거리들의 최접점에 따라 대상객체에 대한 정확한 위치좌표(x, y, z)를 도출한다.Next, the position of the target object is measured using the parallax average for each camera of the target object (S840). In the present invention, the position of the target object is calculated based on the image information acquired through at least three cameras, the distance from the center position between the adjacent cameras to the target object is respectively estimated, and at the closest point of the estimated distances. Therefore, the exact position coordinates (x, y, z) for the target object are derived.
다음으로 대상객체의 모양, 위치 및 크기 변화를 통해 비접촉 동작 인식 정보를 생성한다(S850). 다시 말해, 대상객체의 위치변화를 통해 상·하·좌·우·회전 움직임 방향 및 패턴, 속도를 추정하며, 대상객체의 크기변화를 통해 모양변화, 원근 및 속도를 추정할 수 있게 되어 그에 대응되는 비접촉 동작 인식 정보를 생성할 수 있게 된다.Next, the non-contact motion recognition information is generated by changing the shape, position, and size of the target object (S850).
