【具体实施方式】
下面将结合本发明实施例的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅是本发明的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
请参阅图1,图1是本发明形状识别方法一实施方式的流程示意图,其中的形状识别方法用于对图像中的待识别形状进行识别,从候选形状中选出待识别形状,具体包括以下步骤:
S1:获取原始图像,其中原始图像包括多个前景像素点。
本步骤中,将原始图像处理为二值图像,每个像素点只有两个可能的数值0或1,且这两个数值分别对应关闭和打开,而关闭表示该像素处于背景,打开表示该像素处于前景,因此所有像素点中前景像素点用于定义待识别形状。一般来说,前景像素点数值为1,且呈现为白色;背景像素点数值为0,且呈现为黑色,其他实施例中也可相对的作其他设置,例如前景像素点呈现黑色、背景像素点呈现白色。
原始图像中所有像素点都有其确定的数值0或1,并且在原始图像中的相对位置确定。在定义原始图像中的像素点时,一般首先以原始图像的中心为原点建立直角坐标系(X,Y),然后用坐标值及数值来表示像素点,即(x, y, 0)或(x, y, 1),由此计算机即可判断像素点所在的位置以及该像素点是否为前景像素点。可以理解,在建立直接坐标系时,也可使用原始图像中的其他点作为坐标系原点。
S2:基于与待识别形状对应的霍夫变换公式,对原始图像进行霍夫变换,得到函数图像,其中原始图像上的一个候选形状对应于函数图像中的一个点,函数图像中各点的坐标值分别表示原始图像上的候选形状的函数参数,灰度值分别表示候选形状上前景像素点的数量。
霍夫变换的核心思想是将原始图像中构成某个形状的前景像素点集映射到函数图像的一个点上,且这个点记录了前景像素点集中前景像素点的数量,再通过前景像素点数量局部峰值的搜索,找到函数图像中的记录了局部最多前景像素点数量的点,而该点对应着前景像素点数量最多的点集,该点集则构成原始图像中待识别形状。
在本步骤中,在确认待识别形状时,需要对原始图像中的所有与待识别形状相似的候选形状进行识别,以从所有候选形状中找到待识别形状,确定待识别形状的位置。具体的识别过程中,首先需要对原始图像进行霍夫变换,即对候选形状进行霍夫变换,将其转化为一个点,而所有候选形状所转化成的点构成函数图像,在此霍夫变换的过程中,所依据的公式是与候选形状对应的,即与待识别形状所对应的;通过依据此公式的变换,一个点在函数图像中的坐标能够唯一表示原始图像中的某个候选形状,即点在函数图像中的坐标为原始图像中候选形状的函数参数;并且点的灰度值表示该候选形状上前景像素点的数量。
当待识别形状为直线时,霍夫变换公式为ρ=xcosθ+ysinθ;本步骤则是将原始图像中所有的候选直线分别映射到(ρ,θ)空间的点上,且每个点通过(ρ,θ)空间的坐标以及灰度值H来定义,即(ρ,θ,H),其中灰度值H表示其对应的候选直线上前景像素点(x, y, 1)的数量N,即映射得到的点用(ρ,θ,N)表示,而所有点共同构成函数图像。
当待识别形状为圆形时,霍夫变换公式为(x-x0)2+(y-y0)2=R2;本步骤则是将原始图像中所有的候选圆形分别映射到(x0, y0, R)空间的点上,每个点通过(x0, y0, R)空间的坐标及灰度值H来表示,即(x0, y0, R,H),点的灰度值H表示其对应的候选圆形上前景像素点(x, y, 1)的数量N,映射得到的点用(x0, y0, R,N)表示,且所有点共同构成函数图像。
本步骤中得到函数图像的具体过程如下:
S21:根据霍夫变换公式确认函数图像中各点坐标在原始图像上对应的候选形状;
S22:统计候选形状上前景像素点的数量;
S23:根据前景像素点的数量对函数图像上各点的灰度值进行设置。
通常通过计算机程序来实现上述步骤,当待识别形状为直线时,对于步骤S21和S22使用计算机逻辑语言表示如下:
for 遍历ρ
for 遍历θ
N(ρ,θ) = 0;
for 遍历原始图像中所有前置像素点
if (ρ== xcosθ + ysinθ)
N(ρ,θ) = N(ρ,θ) + 1;
end
end
end
end
以上计算机逻辑语言中,“for 遍历ρ”以及“for 遍历θ”表示首先设定函数图像中点的坐标(ρ,θ);
“for遍历原始图像中所有前置像素点”,“if(ρ== xcosθ + ysinθ)”以及“N(ρ,θ) = N(ρ,θ) + 1;”表示通过ρ== xcosθ + ysinθ来判断原始图像中的前置像素点是否在(ρ,θ)所对应的候选形状上。对每个像素点进行判断,若在该候选形状上,则数量N累加1,完成所有前置像素点的遍历后即实现了步骤S2:统计候选形状上前景像素点的数量。
得到数量N后,再将其设置为函数图像中各点的灰度值,在对函数图像进行显示时,其中各点将呈现不同的明暗度,原始图像中待识别形状所包括的前景像素点的数量最多,反应到函数图像上,其对应的点灰度值最大,呈现出来是函数图像上最亮的点。
S3:计算函数图像中各点的一阶梯度的模,得到梯度图像,其中梯度图像中各点的灰度值正比于函数图像中各点的一阶梯度的模。
梯度是一个向量,表示其标量数据变化最大的方向,而梯度的模即向量的长度则表示标量数据变化的大小。本步骤中计算得到函数图像中各点一阶梯度的模后,将此一阶梯度的模转化为各点的灰度值,得到梯度图像,并使得梯度图像中各点灰度值正比于一阶梯度的模。
函数图像中各点的一阶梯度表示各点坐标值变化时灰度值的变化量,一阶梯度的模则表示变化量的大小,对应到原始图像中,则表示候选形状的位置发生微小变化时,前景像素点数量的变化率。对于待识别形状,其发生微小变化时,前景像素点数量的变化会很大,而对于候选形状中的非待识别形状,其发生微小变化时,前景像素点数量的变化会很小;然后将此变化率作为各点的灰度值,则能够将待识别形状对应的点的灰度值进一步增强,而将非待识别形状对应的点的灰度值进一步减弱。
此步骤主要分为求一阶梯度和求模两个步骤,具体如下:
S31:分别计算函数图像中各点的坐标值变化时其灰度值的变化量,得到函数图像中各点的一阶梯度;
由步骤S2可知,对于函数图像,我们得到的是每个点的坐标及灰度值,为一组离散的数值,而并不是连续的函数表达式,因此需要用数值微分的方法来求一阶梯度。当待识别形状为直线时,求得的一阶梯度为T(N’(Δρ, θ), N’(ρ, Δθ));当待识别形状为圆形时,求得的一阶梯度为T(N’(Δx0,y0,R), N’(x0,Δy0,R), N’(x0,y0,ΔR))。
S32:对各点的一阶梯度进行取模运算,得到梯度图像。
对S31中求得的一阶梯度进行取模,即对向量求模,得到模值|T|,然后将此模值|T|正比转化为梯度图像中各点的灰度值H,即H=k|T|,即梯度图像中各点通过坐标(ρ,θ)及灰度值H来定义,即(ρ,θ,k|T|),相应的梯度图像则是由点(ρ,θ, k|T|)构成。
S4:确定梯度图像中各点的灰度值的局部最大值,得到与局部最大值对应的局部最大点。
由以上分析可知,原始图像中待识别形状对应梯度图像中的灰度值较大的点,因此从梯度图像中求出灰度值的局部最大值,得到相应的局部最大点,则能够得到原始图像中的待识别形状。
在寻找梯度图像中灰度值的局部最大值时,首先需要定义局部最大值的范围,即设定阈值,当灰度值超过该阈值时则认为其为局部最大值,对应的点为局部最大点。
在步骤S3中对函数图像中的点求一阶梯度的模,并得到梯度图像,在所得到的梯度图像中,待识别形状所对应点的灰度值相较于函数图像进一步增强,而候选形状中非待识别形状所对应点的灰度值相较于函数图像进一步减弱,即在梯度图像中,局部最大点的信号增强,且其他点的信号减弱。更加利于本步骤中局部最大值的搜索。
若是在步骤S2后就对函数图像进行局部最大值的搜索,则容易出现以下问题:一是待识别形状附近的候选形状,其通过的前景像素点也较多,对应到函数图像中则容易造成局部最大点的误判,影响到待识别形状的识别精度;二是局部最大值的范围不容易定义,当定义得较大时,则容易造成相邻较近的多个待识别形状被忽略,当定义得较小时,则容易造成某个待识别形状附近识别出多个待识别形状,也导致识别误差。
而完成步骤S3,在本步骤S4中再进行局部最大值的搜索,则相应的有以下优点:一是通过局部最大点信号的增强和其他点信号的减弱,能够增加局部最大点判断的精确度;二是可以设定较小的局部最大值范围,从而将相邻较近的待识别形状都识别出来,并且由于其他点的信号已减弱,因此较小的局部最大值范围的定义不易造成多个待识别形状的误判。
S5:基于与待识别形状对应的霍夫变换公式,对局部最大点进行霍夫反变换得到局部最大点对应的候选形状,并作为待识别形状的识别结果。
在步骤S4中确定局部最大点后,将局部最大点再进行霍夫变换得到在原始图像中所对应的候选形状,并将其作为待识别形状的识别结果。本步骤中的霍夫反变换与步骤S2中的霍夫变换是相反的过程。
通过以上步骤S1-S5,可对原始图像中直线和圆形或曲线进行识别,当原始图像中同时出现直线和圆形时,可分别识别,也可同时识别。当然进行同时识别时,步骤S2中基于直线和圆形两个霍夫变换公式,对原始图像进行霍夫变换,得到两个函数图像;步骤S3中得到两个梯度图像;步骤S4中分别对两个梯度图像进行局部最大点的搜索;在步骤S5中同时确定局部最大点分别对应的待识别直线和待识别圆形;由以上步骤可看出同时进行识别对设备的计算能力及存储能力的要求更大。因此可根据设备的能力选择分别进行先后识别或同时识别。
以图像中直线的识别为例,具体的识别过程请参阅图2,图2是图1所示形状识别方法一实施方式进行直线识别的流程示意图。该实施例直线识别方法包括步骤:
S101:获取原始图像。
原始图像如图3所示,本方法需要对原始图像中的直线进行识别。其中表示直线的前景像素点呈现为黑色,背景像素点呈现为白色。
S102:在原始图像上建立直角坐标系。
建立直角坐标系,原始图像上像素点可通过坐标(x, y)以及数值0或1表示。
S103:以相对于直角坐标系的坐标轴的倾斜角度θ以及到直角坐标系的原点的距离ρ划分步长,并根据霍夫变换公式ρ=xcosθ+ysinθ获取原始图像中的多个候选直线。
S104:统计得到候选直线上前景像素点的数量N。
以上两步骤S103和S104可通过上述步骤S23中所述的计算机程序实现。
S105:根据前景像素点的数量设置函数图像中对应于坐标值θ,ρ的点的灰度值。
在本步骤完成后,呈现出如图4所示的函数图像,需要说明的是图4为示意图,并未体现灰度值不同时的明暗区别。
步骤S102~S105为霍夫变换过程,类似于上述步骤S2,步骤中的详细过程不再赘述。
S106:分别计算函数图像中各点的坐标值变化时其灰度值的变化量,得到函数图像中各点的一阶梯度。
S107:对各点的一阶梯度进行取模运算,进而得到梯度图像,梯度图像中各点的灰度值正比于函数图像中各点的一阶梯度的模。
在本步骤完成后得到图5所示的梯度图像,图5也仅为示意图,并未体现灰度值不同时的明暗区别。
步骤S106~S107类似于上述步骤S3,详细过程也不再赘述。
S108:确定梯度图像中各点的灰度值的局部最大值,得到局部最大值对应的局部最大点。
