System to provide
 本発明の好適な実施形態の概要について、図1に基づいて説明する。図1は、本発明の好適な実施形態である画像解析距離情報提供システムの概要図である。 An outline of a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an image analysis distance information providing system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
 図1にあるように、画像解析距離情報提供システムは、制御部が所定のプログラムを読み込むことで実現される、画像取得手段、画像解析手段、種類特定手段、ピクセル数特定手段、サイズ取得手段、距離推測手段、提供手段を備える。また図示しないが、同様に、カメラ情報取得手段、製品位置推測手段、検出手段、を備えてもよい。これらは、アプリケーション型、クラウド型またはその他であってもよい。上述の各手段が、単独のコンピュータで実現されてもよいし、2台以上のコンピュータ(例えば、サーバと端末のような場合)で実現されてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 1, the image analysis distance information providing system is realized by the control unit reading a predetermined program, an image acquisition unit, an image analysis unit, a type specification unit, a pixel number specification unit, a size acquisition unit, A distance estimation unit and a provision unit are provided. Although not shown, in the same manner, camera information acquisition means, product position estimation means, detection means may be provided. These may be application based, cloud based or otherwise. Each means described above may be realized by a single computer or may be realized by two or more computers (for example, in the case of a server and a terminal).
 画像取得手段は、カメラで撮像された製品の画像を取得する。画像は動画でも静止画でもよい。カメラは、デジタルカメラであっても、スマートフォンのカメラであっても、ドローンに備えられたカメラであっても、何でもよい。リアルタイムに距離の情報を提供するにはリアルタイムな画像の方が好ましい。 An image acquisition means acquires the image of the product imaged with the camera. The image may be a moving image or a still image. The camera may be a digital camera, a camera of a smartphone, or a camera provided in a drone. Real-time images are preferable for providing distance information in real time.
 画像解析手段は、画像を解析する。機械学習によって画像解析の精度を向上させてもよい。例えば、過去画像を教師データとして機械学習を行う。 The image analysis means analyzes the image. Machine learning may improve the accuracy of image analysis. For example, machine learning is performed using past images as teacher data.
 種類特定手段は、解析の結果に基づいて、製品の種類を特定する。製品の種類によって長さ・幅・高さなどの寸法が異なるので、製品の種類を特定する必要がある。製品の種類とは、例えば、EIZOのFlexScanEV3237-GYのモニタであったり、東京タワーであったり、ニトリのラグーンハード DBRの椅子であったり、のことである。 The type identification means identifies the type of product based on the analysis result. As dimensions such as length, width and height differ depending on the type of product, it is necessary to specify the type of product. The product type is, for example, a monitor of FlexScanEV3237-GY of EIZO, a Tokyo Tower, a chair of Lagoon Hard DBR of Nitori, etc.
 ピクセル数特定手段は、解析の結果に基づいて、前記画像に映っている製品のピクセル数を特定する。例えば、画像に映っている製品のピクセル数が120×75ピクセルであると特定する。また、カメラの画角および倍率を用いて、画像に映っている製品のピクセル数を特定してもよい。画角と倍率とを用いれば、ピクセル数の特定精度が高まる。更に、カメラの取り付け位置、取り付け角度、および解像度を用いて、画像に映っている製品のピクセル数を特定してもよい。取り付け位置、取り付け角度、および解像度を用いれば、更にピクセル数の特定精度が高まる。 The pixel number specifying means specifies the number of pixels of the product shown in the image based on the analysis result. For example, it is specified that the number of pixels of a product appearing in an image is 120 × 75 pixels. Also, the angle of view and magnification of the camera may be used to specify the number of pixels of the product appearing in the image. If the angle of view and the magnification are used, the accuracy in specifying the number of pixels is enhanced. In addition, the mounting position of the camera, the mounting angle, and the resolution may be used to specify the number of product pixels in the image. The mounting position, mounting angle, and resolution further increase the accuracy of the pixel count.
 サイズ取得手段は、特定された製品の種類に基づいて、Webコンテンツを参照して当該製品のサイズを取得する。例えば、特定された製品の種類がEIZOのFlexScanEV3237-GYのモニタであれば、EIZOのホームページを参照して、FlexScanEV3237-GYのサイズを取得する。メーカーのホームページには、長さ・幅・高さなどの寸法が記載されている。また、メーカーのホームページでなくても、SNSや中古製品販売サイトなど、長さ・幅・高さなどの寸法などが記載されているWebコンテンツを参照して、当該製品のサイズを取得してもよい。 The size obtaining means obtains the size of the product by referring to the Web content based on the type of the specified product. For example, if the specified product type is a monitor of FlexScanEV3237-GY of EIZO, the FlexScanEV3237-GY size is acquired with reference to the EIZO homepage. On the manufacturer's website, dimensions such as length, width, and height are described. In addition, even if it is not the manufacturer's website, even if it refers to the Web content in which dimensions such as length, width, height, etc. are described, such as SNS or second-hand product sales site, the size of the product is acquired Good.
 距離推測手段は、前記画像に映っている製品のピクセル数と、当該製品のサイズと、を比較して、前記製品と前記カメラとの間の距離を推測する。例えば、前記画像に映っている製品のピクセル数が120×75ピクセル、前記製品のサイズが120センチメートル×75センチメートルであったとする。ここで、120センチメートルの製品がカメラから10メートルの離れた場所にある時に120ピクセルで撮像されると分かっていれば、前記製品と前記カメラとの間の距離が10メートルであると推測できる。比を用いることで、他の数値であったとしても製品とカメラとの間の距離を推測できる。 The distance estimating means compares the number of pixels of the product shown in the image with the size of the product to estimate the distance between the product and the camera. For example, it is assumed that the number of pixels of the product shown in the image is 120 × 75 pixels, and the size of the product is 120 cm × 75 cm. Here, if it is known that a product of 120 centimeters is imaged at 120 pixels when it is 10 meters away from the camera, it can be inferred that the distance between the product and the camera is 10 meters . By using the ratio, it is possible to estimate the distance between the product and the camera, even with other values.
 提供手段は、推測された距離の情報を提供する。例えば、図2のように、画像に重畳表示して推測された距離の情報を提供してもよい。カメラから手前のモニタまでの距離が3メール、カメラから奥のタワーまでの距離が220メートルであることが分かる。また、画像に表示せずに推測された距離の情報だけを製品の種類と紐付けて提供してもよい。例えば、EIZOのFlexScanEV3237-GYのモニタまで5メートルなど。 The providing means provides the information of the estimated distance. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, information on the distance estimated by being superimposed on the image may be provided.

[Description of operation]
 次に、画像解析距離情報提供方法について説明する。本発明の画像解析距離情報提供方法は、カメラで撮像された製品の画像を解析して、特定された製品のサイズとピクセル数とを比較して、製品とカメラとの間の距離を推測して提供する方法である。 Next, a method of providing image analysis distance information will be described. The image analysis distance information providing method according to the present invention analyzes an image of a product taken by a camera, compares the size of the specified product with the number of pixels, and estimates the distance between the product and the camera. Is a method to provide.
 画像解析距離情報提供方法は、画像取得ステップ、画像解析ステップ、種類特定ステップ、ピクセル数特定ステップ、サイズ取得ステップ、距離推測ステップ、提供ステップを備える。また図示しないが、同様に、カメラ情報取得ステップ、製品位置推測ステップ、検出ステップ、を備えてもよい。 The image analysis distance information providing method includes an image acquisition step, an image analysis step, a type identification step, a pixel number identification step, a size acquisition step, a distance estimation step, and a provision step. Although not shown, a camera information acquisition step, a product position estimation step, and a detection step may be similarly provided.
 画像取得ステップは、カメラで撮像された製品の画像を取得する。画像は動画でも静止画でもよい。カメラは、デジタルカメラであっても、スマートフォンのカメラであっても、ドローンに備えられたカメラであっても、何でもよい。リアルタイムに距離の情報を提供するにはリアルタイムな画像の方が好ましい。 The image acquisition step acquires an image of a product captured by a camera. The image may be a moving image or a still image. The camera may be a digital camera, a camera of a smartphone, or a camera provided in a drone. Real-time images are preferable for providing distance information in real time.
 画像解析ステップは、画像を解析する。機械学習によって画像解析の精度を向上させてもよい。例えば、過去画像を教師データとして機械学習を行う。 The image analysis step analyzes the image. Machine learning may improve the accuracy of image analysis. For example, machine learning is performed using past images as teacher data.
 種類特定ステップは、解析の結果に基づいて、製品の種類を特定する。製品の種類によって長さ・幅・高さなどの寸法が異なるので、製品の種類を特定する必要がある。製品の種類とは、例えば、EIZOのFlexScanEV3237-GYのモニタであったり、東京タワーであったり、ニトリのラグーンハード DBRの椅子であったり、のことである。 The type identification step identifies the type of product based on the analysis result. As dimensions such as length, width and height differ depending on the type of product, it is necessary to specify the type of product. The product type is, for example, a monitor of FlexScanEV3237-GY of EIZO, a Tokyo Tower, a chair of Lagoon Hard DBR of Nitori, etc.
 ピクセル数特定ステップは、解析の結果に基づいて、前記画像に映っている製品のピクセル数を特定する。例えば、画像に映っている製品のピクセル数が120×75ピクセルであると特定する。また、カメラの画角および倍率を用いて、画像に映っている製品のピクセル数を特定してもよい。画角と倍率とを用いれば、ピクセル数の特定精度が高まる。更に、カメラの取り付け位置、取り付け角度、および解像度を用いて、画像に映っている製品のピクセル数を特定してもよい。取り付け位置、取り付け角度、および解像度を用いれば、更にピクセル数の特定精度が高まる。 The pixel number specifying step specifies the pixel number of the product appearing in the image based on the analysis result. For example, it is specified that the number of pixels of a product appearing in an image is 120 × 75 pixels. Also, the angle of view and magnification of the camera may be used to specify the number of pixels of the product appearing in the image. If the angle of view and the magnification are used, the accuracy in specifying the number of pixels is enhanced. In addition, the mounting position of the camera, the mounting angle, and the resolution may be used to specify the number of product pixels in the image. The mounting position, mounting angle, and resolution further increase the accuracy of the pixel count.
 サイズ取得ステップは、特定された製品の種類に基づいて、Webコンテンツを参照して当該製品のサイズを取得する。例えば、特定された製品の種類がEIZOのFlexScanEV3237-GYのモニタであれば、EIZOのホームページを参照して、FlexScanEV3237-GYのサイズを取得する。メーカーのホームページには、長さ・幅・高さなどの寸法が記載されている。また、メーカーのホームページでなくても、SNSや中古製品販売サイトなど、長さ・幅・高さなどの寸法などが記載されているWebコンテンツを参照して、当該製品のサイズを取得してもよい。 The size obtaining step refers to Web content and obtains the size of the product based on the type of the specified product. For example, if the specified product type is a monitor of FlexScanEV3237-GY of EIZO, the FlexScanEV3237-GY size is acquired with reference to the EIZO homepage. On the manufacturer's website, dimensions such as length, width, and height are described. In addition, even if it is not the manufacturer's website, even if it refers to the Web content in which dimensions such as length, width, height, etc. are described, such as SNS or second-hand product sales site, the size of the product is acquired Good.
 距離推測ステップは、前記画像に映っている製品のピクセル数と、当該製品のサイズと、を比較して、前記製品と前記カメラとの間の距離を推測する。例えば、前記画像に映っている製品のピクセル数が120×75ピクセル、前記製品のサイズが120センチメートル×75センチメートルであったとする。ここで、120センチメートルの製品がカメラから10メートルの離れた場所にある時に120ピクセルで撮像されると分かっていれば、前記製品と前記カメラとの間の距離が10メートルであると推測できる。比を用いることで、他の数値であったとしても製品とカメラとの間の距離を推測できる。 The distance estimation step compares the number of pixels of the product shown in the image with the size of the product to infer the distance between the product and the camera. For example, it is assumed that the number of pixels of the product shown in the image is 120 × 75 pixels, and the size of the product is 120 cm × 75 cm. Here, if it is known that a product of 120 centimeters is imaged at 120 pixels when it is 10 meters away from the camera, it can be inferred that the distance between the product and the camera is 10 meters . By using the ratio, it is possible to estimate the distance between the product and the camera, even with other values.
 提供ステップは、推測された距離の情報を提供する。例えば、図2のように、画像に重畳表示して推測された距離の情報を提供してもよい。カメラから手前のモニタまでの距離が3メール、カメラから奥のタワーまでの距離が220メートルであることが分かる。また、画像に表示せずに推測された距離の情報だけを製品の種類と紐付けて提供してもよい。例えば、EIZOのFlexScanEV3237-GYのモニタまで5メートルなど。 The providing step provides the information of the estimated distance. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, information on the distance estimated by being superimposed on the image may be provided. It can be seen that the distance from the camera to the front monitor is 3 mails, and the distance from the camera to the back tower is 220 meters. In addition, only information of the estimated distance without displaying in the image may be provided in association with the type of product. For example, 5 meters to the EIZO FlexScan EV 3237-GY monitor.

For example, if it is a camera of a smart phone, a camera position can be acquired from GPS information etc. of a smart phone. For example, if the camera is provided in the drone, the camera position can be obtained from the GPS information or the like provided in the drone. Similarly, the camera orientation can be acquired from an orientation sensor such as a geomagnetic sensor provided in a smartphone or a drone.
 製品位置推測ステップは、カメラ位置とカメラ向きと推測された距離とから、製品の製品位置を推測する。カメラ位置と、カメラ向きと、カメラと製品との間の距離と、が分かれば、カメラの位置を基準にして製品位置を推測することができる。 The product position estimation step infers the product position of the product from the camera position and the distance estimated by the camera orientation. Knowing the camera position, the camera orientation, and the distance between the camera and the product, the product position can be inferred based on the camera position.
 また、提供ステップは、推測された距離と推測された製品位置との情報を提供してもよい。カメラから製品までの距離と、製品の位置と、の情報を提供することで、情報の価値や活用度が増える。 Also, the providing step may provide information of the estimated distance and the estimated product position.

It can be made in time series by the time when the image was acquired. In addition, since time information is often attached as meta information to an image, it can be time-series.
 検出ステップは、取得された時系列の複数枚の画像から、製品の進行方向と進行速度を検出する。時系列の複数枚の画像があれば、その差分から製品の進行方向と進行速度を検出できる。 The detection step detects the traveling direction and the traveling speed of the product from the plurality of time-series images acquired. If there are a plurality of time-series images, it is possible to detect the traveling direction and traveling speed of the product from the difference.
 また、提供ステップは、推測された距離と、製品の進行方向と、製品の進行速度と、の情報を提供してもよい。推測された距離と、製品の進行方向と、製品の進行速度と、の情報を提供することで、情報の価値や活用度が増える。 The providing step may also provide information on the estimated distance, the direction of travel of the product, and the speed of travel of the product.
