Description

一种360度环绕方位及位置感知物件信息获取系统及其应用360 degree surround orientation and position sensing object information acquisition system and application thereof 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及光学定位及智能信息获取及处理领域,具体地,涉及一种360度环绕方位及位置感知物件信息获取系统及其应用。The present invention relates to the field of optical positioning and intelligent information acquisition and processing, and in particular to a 360 degree surround orientation and position sensing object information acquiring system and application thereof.
背景技术Background technique
传统的移动定位方式主要有如下几种:The traditional mobile positioning methods are mainly as follows:
1、GPS定位法1, GPS positioning method
传统的GPS定位采用电磁波传导信号,其定位精准度往往受到诸如建筑物阻挡,室内或地下被屏蔽,建筑物或墙体反射后形成多路通道等等因素的影响。因此,其仅仅适用于户外定位,且其定位精度以米(公尺)计,在建筑物多的城市环境一般在10米或更差,用户常常会被不精准的GPS位置导致不精准的地图位置所误导。Conventional GPS positioning uses electromagnetic wave signals, and its positioning accuracy is often affected by factors such as building blockage, indoor or underground shielding, and multiple channels formed by reflection of buildings or walls. Therefore, it is only suitable for outdoor positioning, and its positioning accuracy is measured in meters (meters). In urban environments where buildings are mostly 10 meters or less, users often get inaccurate maps by inaccurate GPS positions. The location is misleading.
2、WI-FI定位2, WI-FI positioning
通常而言,WI-FI定位具有较蜂窝网络定位更高的精度。它使用无线接入点并且测量从一个或多个网络形成端接收到的信号的强度来确定被测物体的位置。然而,WI-FI定位非常的昂贵且其在具有大数量/高密度的WI-FI接入点时,最终仅能实现为5-10m的定位精度。In general, WI-FI positioning has higher accuracy than cellular network positioning. It uses the wireless access point and measures the strength of the signal received from one or more network forming ends to determine the position of the object under test. However, WI-FI positioning is very expensive and it can only achieve a positioning accuracy of 5-10 m when it has a large number/high density of WI-FI access points.
3、其他定位方式3. Other positioning methods
普通激光/超声波测距仪也有测距方面的应用,但是其仅仅用于测距而不能提供被测物的位置及方向信息且激光本身对人肉眼有伤害作用。因此,传统的激光及超声波测距未有提供360度环绕位置及方向信息。Ordinary laser/ultrasonic range finder also has applications in ranging, but it is only used for ranging and does not provide information on the position and direction of the object to be measured and the laser itself has a harmful effect on the human eye. Therefore, conventional laser and ultrasonic ranging do not provide 360-degree surround position and direction information.
随着移动通信网络的进步,射频识别技术正在快速发展。现有技术中依赖电磁波传导信号的低精度定位已经不能满足人们对精准室内外定位的要求。如,在盲人导航领域,当盲人穿行于室内时,传统的导航往往受限,其在几米内的定位往往失效。且,即便采用Wi-Fi定位提高定位精度,在几米内的定位需要依赖非常精准的室内地图作支撑,这就需要关联的地图软件具备强大的数据作支撑,且其需要及时的更新避免建筑物或者店铺商号的更名带来的定位失效。With the advancement of mobile communication networks, radio frequency identification technology is rapidly developing. The low-precision positioning that relies on electromagnetic wave conduction signals in the prior art has been unable to meet the requirements for precise indoor and outdoor positioning. For example, in the field of blind navigation, when blind people walk indoors, traditional navigation is often limited, and its positioning within a few meters often fails. Moreover, even with Wi-Fi positioning to improve positioning accuracy, positioning within a few meters needs to rely on very accurate indoor maps for support, which requires the associated map software to have strong data support, and it needs timely updates to avoid buildings. Or the positioning caused by the change of the store name is invalid.
图像,作为一种实时有效的承载位置信息的载体,在实时采集环境信息方面具有得天独厚的优势,其不存在电磁信号传导干扰,定位精度等方面的问题,且图像可实时采集。然而,现有的图像识别技术还远远不能仅通过单张拍摄的图片精准地识别出定位物的方位信息。而现有的射频识别技术中,已有通过扫描获得二维码,从而关联网络URL实现相应的支付等功能的应用,但是未有将图像识别与扫码技术运用于360度环绕位置及方向定位的运用。且,随着科技的发展,依仗精准定位实现各种功能的运用越来越多。如,在盲人及机器人导航领域,定位精度需要更高才能实现其功能,而现有的几种定位方式均在精度上与实际需求有较大的差距。Image, as a real-time effective carrier for carrying position information, has unique advantages in real-time collection of environmental information. It does not have electromagnetic signal interference, positioning accuracy and other aspects, and the image can be collected in real time. However, the existing image recognition technology is far from being able to accurately recognize the orientation information of the positioning object only by the single-shot picture. In the existing radio frequency identification technology, the two-dimensional code has been obtained by scanning, so that the network URL is associated with the application of the corresponding payment function, but the image recognition and scanning code technology is not applied to the 360-degree surrounding position and orientation. Use. Moreover, with the development of science and technology, relying on precise positioning to achieve the use of various functions more and more. For example, in the field of blind people and robot navigation, the positioning accuracy needs to be higher to achieve its function, and the existing several positioning methods have a large gap between the accuracy and the actual demand.
另一方面,基于RF的(例如Wi-Fi)定位技术,特别是在机器人和商业应用的情况下,例如, 在公共环境中,可通过其设备发送交互RF信号来干扰RF定位信号,从而收到被隐藏的入侵者(例如在商场的洗手间内)破坏或攻击。 隐藏的入侵者的这个问题可以被避免,本发明提供了非RF定位方法,入侵者必须阻挡设备和被观察物体之间的视线,并且入侵者的行为可以被设备的摄像机记录或环境中的闭路电视安全监控。On the other hand, RF-based (eg Wi-Fi) positioning technology, especially in the case of robotics and commercial applications, for example, in a public environment, can transmit RF signals through their devices to interfere with RF positioning signals, thereby Destroy or attack a hidden intruder (such as in a bathroom in a mall). This problem of hidden intruders can be avoided. The present invention provides a non-RF positioning method in which an intruder must block the line of sight between the device and the observed object, and the behavior of the intruder can be recorded by the camera of the device or closed in the environment. TV security monitoring.

有益效果Beneficial effect
采用鱼眼镜头拍摄环境中的照片可以克服采用WI-FI及GPS定位的诸多问题,因为鱼眼镜头拍摄照片属于光学原理,其区别于电磁波信号传导,电磁波在空间中传导时会有信号损失,建筑物阻挡,因为反射造成多路通道等诸多问题;而图片作为位置信息的良好的载体,并未有上述问题,且通过拍摄环境中的图片能实现,在近距离甚至是超近距离位置的定位中具有得天独厚的优势。然而,现有技术中,仅仅依靠图像识别技术,从单张或者多张拍摄的图像中精准获得可辨识物件的地理位置还是有相当的技术难度;但是,通过识别拍摄得到的鱼眼图像中的物件代码,却已经不再是技术难题。因此,将鱼眼图像拍摄,图形识别物件代码,通过通信连接网络端结合能够精准定位可辨识物件的地理位置,区别于直接通过移动终端发射电磁波信号从而确定可辨识物件的地理位置,提前通过物件代码将可辨识物件的地理位置录入可以避免电磁波信号在传输过程中的信号损失,建筑物阻挡或反射后多路带来的不可控失效定位,避免每次定位过程中(针对同一定位目标)因为实时信号差异带来的定位误差,从而误导使用者抵达不是其期望抵达的目标地点。Using the fisheye lens to take photos in the environment can overcome many problems with WI-FI and GPS positioning, because the fisheye lens is an optical principle, which is different from electromagnetic wave signal transmission, and there will be signal loss when electromagnetic waves are transmitted in space. Buildings block, because reflection causes multiple channels and other problems; and pictures as a good carrier of position information, there is no such problem, and can be achieved by taking pictures in the environment, at close range or even close distance Positioning has a unique advantage. However, in the prior art, relying solely on the image recognition technology, it is quite technically difficult to accurately obtain the geographical position of the identifiable object from the single or multiple captured images; however, by recognizing the captured fisheye image Object code is no longer a technical problem. Therefore, the fisheye image is captured, and the graphic recognition object code can accurately locate the geographical position of the identifiable object through the communication connection network end, which is different from directly transmitting the electromagnetic wave signal through the mobile terminal to determine the geographical position of the identifiable object, and pass the object in advance. The code will record the geographical location of the identifiable object to avoid the signal loss of the electromagnetic wave signal during transmission, and the uncontrollable failure positioning caused by the multi-path after the building block or reflection, avoiding each positioning process (for the same positioning target) because The positioning error caused by the difference in real-time signals, thus misleading the user to the target location that is not expected to arrive.
其次,通过设置额外的技术特征如带数码拍摄的云台式光学望远镜使得运用本发明能提高对远距离以至微小物件之辨识及定位功能;且,通过本申请的精准定位,能实现现有技术中因为定位精度不够导致的很多实际运用如自主机械人或盲人去到陌生的公共场合时的生活及行动困难或难以实现。Secondly, by setting additional technical features such as a cloud-top optical telescope with digital shooting, the invention can improve the recognition and positioning function for long distances and even small objects; and, by the precise positioning of the present application, the prior art can be realized. Because of the lack of positioning accuracy, many practical applications, such as autonomous robots or blind people, are difficult or difficult to achieve when they go to unfamiliar public places.

参考图2,本发明提供了一种360度环绕方位及位置感知物件信息获取系统,物件信息获取系统包括鱼眼图像拍摄单元10、物件侦测单元20、物件信息获取单元30、物件定向运算单元40、以及系统定位运算单元50,它们分别对应于图1中所示的各个核心功能单元,下面分别对其功能分别进行简要说明。Referring to FIG. 2, the present invention provides a 360 degree surround orientation and position sensing object information acquiring system. The object information acquiring system includes a fisheye image capturing unit 10, an object detecting unit 20, an object information acquiring unit 30, and an object orientation computing unit. 40. The system positioning operation unit 50 respectively corresponds to each core function unit shown in FIG. 1, and the functions thereof are respectively briefly described below.
鱼眼图像拍摄单元10使用鱼眼相机对周围的待辨识环境进行拍摄,以获得待辨识环境的整体鱼眼图像。具体地,本发明实施例的鱼眼图像拍摄单元10使用一个或多个鱼眼相机对周围的待辨识环境进行拍摄,鱼眼数码相机的光轴垂直于视向平面(plane of direction of view, or view plane),以获得待辨识环境的360度环绕的整体鱼眼图像,由于鱼眼相机具有焦距短、视角大的特点,其拍摄出的整体鱼眼图像是视角较大的图像;而且,采用超广角鱼眼相机对待辨识环境中进行拍摄,可以克服传统的采用WI-FI及GPS定位的诸多限制,因为鱼眼相机拍摄的图像基于光学原理而生成,其区别于电磁波信号传导,电磁波在空间中传导时会有信号损失,或者因建筑物阻挡而造成定位失效等诸多问题;反之,图像作为位置信息的独特,尤其是在室内环境中完全不存在上述问题。The fisheye image capturing unit 10 photographs the surrounding environment to be recognized using a fisheye camera to obtain an overall fisheye image of the environment to be recognized. Specifically, the fisheye image capturing unit 10 of the embodiment of the present invention uses one or more fisheye cameras to photograph the surrounding environment to be recognized, and the optical axis of the fisheye digital camera is perpendicular to the plane of view (plane of Direction of view, or view plane), to obtain a 360-degree overall fisheye image of the environment to be identified. Since the fisheye camera has the characteristics of short focal length and large viewing angle, the overall fisheye image captured by the fisheye image is larger. Image; moreover, the use of ultra-wide-angle fisheye camera for shooting in the identification environment can overcome the traditional limitations of WI-FI and GPS positioning, because the image captured by the fisheye camera is generated based on the optical principle, which is different from the electromagnetic wave signal. Conduction, there are signal losses when electromagnetic waves are transmitted in space, or positioning failure due to building blockage; on the contrary, images are unique as location information, especially in indoor environments.
物件侦测单元20与鱼眼图像拍摄单元10进行通讯,用于根据不同的物件类别从整体鱼眼图像中侦测出位于待辨识环境中的至少一个可辨识物件。具体地,物件侦测单元20接收鱼眼图像拍摄单元10拍摄到的整体鱼眼图像,然后根据不同的物件类别(物件类别可分为标签类可辨识物件和非标签类可辨识物件)从整体鱼眼图像中侦测出位于待辨识环境中的至少一个可辨识物件,从而最终实现可辨识物件的光学精确定位。物件类别是用于限定物件侦测单元20从整体鱼眼图像中进行侦测的特定图案或轮廓,并根据不同应用场合和实际情况,用户可以任意地设定或选择物件类别。在具体实施例中,物件类别可以是特殊定制的标签类可辨识物件,例如易识别标签图案,也可以是系统预先设定的非标签类可辨识物件,例如特定物件轮廓图案(人、桌子、汽车等等)。The object detecting unit 20 communicates with the fisheye image capturing unit 10 for detecting at least one identifiable object located in the environment to be recognized from the overall fisheye image according to different object categories. Specifically, the object detecting unit 20 receives the overall fisheye image captured by the fisheye image capturing unit 10, and then according to different object categories (the object category can be classified into a tag type identifiable object and a non-label type identifiable object) from the whole. At least one identifiable object located in the environment to be identified is detected in the fisheye image, thereby ultimately achieving optically accurate positioning of the identifiable object. The object category is used to define a specific pattern or contour that the object detecting unit 20 detects from the overall fisheye image, and the user can arbitrarily set or select the object category according to different applications and actual situations. In a specific embodiment, the object category may be a specially customized label-like identifiable object, such as an easily identifiable label pattern, or a system-preset non-label identifiable object, such as a specific object outline pattern (person, table, Cars, etc.).
物件信息获取单元30针对上述可辨识物件,若物件类别为标签类可辨识物件,则局部扫描/辨识整体图像中该标签物件之图像以提取内含的物件信息包括但不限于该物件的网络(例如互联网)信息地址,并实时访问物件网络(例如互联网)信息地址以获得该物件的网络(例如互联网)信息,若物件类别为非标签类可辨识物件,则以该物件图像透过网络(例如互联网)图像辨识服务以辨识物件及获得辨识物件信息;For the identifiable object, if the object category is a tag-type identifiable object, the image of the tag object in the overall image is scanned/identified to extract the included object information, including but not limited to the network of the object ( For example, the Internet) information address, and real-time access to the object network (such as the Internet) information address to obtain the network (such as the Internet) information of the object, if the object category is a non-label type identifiable object, the object image is transmitted through the network (for example Internet) image recognition service to identify objects and obtain identification object information;
物件定向运算单元40与物件侦测单元20进行通讯,用于针对物件侦测单元20侦测出的每个可辨识物件,确定每个可辨识物件在整体鱼眼图像中的对应位置点,并根据鱼眼相机的成像参数计算出在待辨识环境中每个可辨识物件相对于鱼眼相机的360度方位。关于如何使用鱼眼图像进行上述方向信息计算的详细过程,下文将参考图3进一步说明。The object orientation computing unit 40 communicates with the object detecting unit 20 for determining, for each identifiable object detected by the object detecting unit 20, a corresponding position point of each identifiable object in the overall fisheye image, and A 360 degree orientation of each identifiable object relative to the fisheye camera in the environment to be identified is calculated from the imaging parameters of the fisheye camera. A detailed procedure on how to perform the above-described direction information calculation using the fisheye image will be further explained below with reference to FIG.
系统定位运算单元50与物件定向运算单元40和/或物件信息获取单元30进行通讯,用于根据物件定向运算单元40所提供的至少两组不同的可辨识物件相对于鱼眼相机的方向信息,基于三角测量法计算出物件相对于系统的360度立体空间距离及位置,以及从上述物件信息获取单元或内含于物件中的信息(例如内含于二维码标签)取得可辨识物件的全球或所在环境地图的绝对位置,透过周围观察环境中这些有提供定位信息的物件计算出本系统的全球或所在环境地图的准确位置。附带指出,三角测量法是定位技术领域公知的方法,在传统的定位方式中广泛地得以应用,因此本文从略说明。The system positioning operation unit 50 communicates with the object orientation operation unit 40 and/or the object information acquisition unit 30 for using the orientation information of at least two different sets of identifiable objects provided by the object orientation operation unit 40 with respect to the fisheye camera. Calculating the 360-degree spatial distance and position of the object relative to the system based on triangulation, and obtaining globally identifiable objects from the object information acquisition unit or the information contained in the object (eg, included in the QR code label) Or the absolute location of the environment map, the exact location of the system's global or local environment map is calculated from the objects in the surrounding observation environment that provide location information. Incidentally, the triangulation method is a well-known method in the field of positioning technology, and is widely applied in the conventional positioning method, and therefore this article will be briefly explained.
具体地,本发明实施例的物件信息获取系统,当物件类别为易识别标签图案时,通过物件信息获取单元30扫描易识别标签图案上的物件代码获得与可辨识物件绑定的网络(例如互联网)频道,然后通过访问网络(例如互联网)频道即可获得任意的物件信息,操作简单快捷、可以获得多媒体形式的物件信息(例如音频、视频或文字)而且不易出现错误。当物件类别为系统预先设定的特定物件轮廓图案,物件侦测单元以系统内置或通过网络(例如互联网)的人工智能图像服务(例如人脸识别技术、物象轮廓识别技术)来进行整体图像的物件侦测,从而提升了用户体验。Specifically, in the object information acquiring system of the embodiment of the present invention, when the object category is an easily identifiable label pattern, the object information acquiring unit 30 scans the object code on the easily identifiable label pattern to obtain a network bound to the identifiable object (for example, the Internet). Channel, and then access any network object information by accessing the network (such as the Internet) channel, which is simple and fast, and can obtain object information (such as audio, video or text) in multimedia form and is not easy to make mistakes. When the object category is a specific object contour pattern preset by the system, the object detecting unit performs the overall image by an artificial intelligence image service (such as face recognition technology, object contour recognition technology) built in or through a network (for example, the Internet). Object detection, which enhances the user experience.
在具体实施中,易识别标签图案设置在待辨识环境中的适当位置,以便于鱼眼图像拍摄单元10进行拍摄。通常地,将易识别标签图案设置在待辨识环境中的适于鱼眼图像拍摄单元10进行拍摄的位置,如此方便鱼眼图像拍摄单元10对该易识别标签图案进行拍摄,从而进一步方便物件信息获取单元30扫描该易识别标签图案上的物件代码以取得与可辨识物件绑定的网络(例如互联网)网址,并通过访问网络(例如互联网)网址来获得物件信息,如此可提高识别率,提升识别效率。In a specific implementation, the easily identifiable label pattern is disposed at an appropriate position in the environment to be recognized, so that the fisheye image capturing unit 10 performs photographing. Generally, the easy-to-identify label pattern is set at a position suitable for the fish-eye image capturing unit 10 to be photographed in the environment to be recognized, so that the fish-eye image capturing unit 10 can photograph the easily-recognizable label pattern, thereby further facilitating the object information. The obtaining unit 30 scans the object code on the identifiable label pattern to obtain a network (for example, Internet) URL bound to the identifiable object, and obtains object information by accessing a network (for example, the Internet) website, thereby improving the recognition rate and improving the recognition rate. Identify efficiency.
在具体实施中,易识别标签图案优选为高对比度的双正方形图案,在此情况下,物件代码可以是粘贴或打印在双正方形图案内的二维码。参考图12,位于图12左边的图像,易识别标签图案为高对比度的双正方形图案,物件代码是粘贴或打印在双正方形图案内的二维码,本发明实施例的物件信息获取系统,通过物件信息获取单元30扫描该二维码以取得与可辨识物件绑定的网络(例如互联网)频道,并通过访问网络(例如互联网)频道来获得物件信息,本发明实施例的物件信息获取系统通过扫描二维码来获得物件信息,具有承载信息量大、易识别、成本低的优点。在具体实施中,包含可辨识物件的基本信息的莫尔斯代码进一步可嵌入在双正方形图案的边缘。参考图12,位于图12右边的图像,莫尔斯代码(Morse Code)嵌入在双正方形图案的边缘,图中范例莫尔斯代码意思为路标,该莫尔斯代码亦可包含可辨识物件的地图位置信息、其他基本信息等。本发明实施例的物件信息获取系统,通过将包含在可辨识物件的基本信息的莫尔代码嵌入在双正方形图案的边缘,从而扩大了易识别标签图案的具体使用范围,使用领域较广。In a specific implementation, the easily identifiable label pattern is preferably a high contrast double square pattern, in which case the item code can be a two dimensional code affixed or printed within the double square pattern. Referring to FIG. 12, the image on the left side of FIG. 12, the easy-to-identify label pattern is a high-contrast double-square pattern, and the object code is a two-dimensional code pasted or printed in a double square pattern, and the object information acquisition system of the embodiment of the present invention passes The object information acquiring unit 30 scans the two-dimensional code to obtain a network (for example, Internet) channel bound to the identifiable object, and obtains the object information by accessing a network (for example, the Internet) channel, and the object information acquiring system of the embodiment of the present invention passes Scanning the QR code to obtain the object information has the advantages of large amount of information, easy identification, and low cost. In a specific implementation, the Morse code containing the basic information of the identifiable object can be further embedded in the edge of the double square pattern. Referring to FIG. 12, the image located on the right side of FIG. 12, Morse Code is embedded in the edge of the double square pattern. The example Morse code in the figure means a road sign, and the Morse code can also include an identifiable object. Map location information, other basic information, etc. The object information acquiring system of the embodiment of the present invention expands the specific use range of the easily identifiable label pattern by embedding the Moir code of the basic information contained in the identifiable object in the edge of the double square pattern, and the use field is wide.
需要指出的是,本发明实施例的物件信息获取系统,其物件侦测单元20在从整体鱼眼图像中侦测出可辨识物件时,针对物件类别并没有特别的限定,只要该可辨识物件通过现有的图像识别技术而容易地识别出来即可。实际上,根据不同的应用场合与商业模式,可辨识物件可以由特定参与者来负责维护和设置,例如在商场中可以由物业公司设置,在特定产品上可以由出厂商来预先标识。It should be noted that, in the object information acquiring system of the embodiment of the present invention, when the object detecting unit 20 detects the identifiable object from the overall fisheye image, the object category is not particularly limited as long as the identifiable object It can be easily identified by existing image recognition technology. In fact, depending on the application and business model, the identifiable items can be maintained and set up by specific participants, such as in a mall, which can be set by the property company, and can be pre-identified by the manufacturer on a particular product.
作为其中一种使用实例,物件信息获取系统还包括远端输出单元,远端输出单元包括远程式全景增强现实装置,全景增强现实装置包括反射式环绕显示装置,从物件信息获取系统接收到的待辨识环境的整体鱼眼图像以全景式场景被显示在反射式环绕显示装置上,其中,物件信息获取系统所侦测出的可辨识物件的物件信息以增强现实方式显示在全景式场景中。下文结合图3-图4来说明在本发明使用鱼眼相机获得鱼眼图像并从中计算出可辨识物件在实际拍摄环境中相对于鱼眼相机的方向信息的过程,针对同一可辨识物件,根据两组以上的方向信息来计算出位置信息。As one of the use examples, the object information acquisition system further includes a remote output unit, the remote output unit includes a remote panoramic augmented reality device, and the panoramic augmented reality device includes a reflective surround display device, which is received from the object information acquisition system. The overall fisheye image of the recognition environment is displayed on the reflective surround display device in a panoramic scene, wherein the object information of the identifiable object detected by the object information acquisition system is displayed in a panoramic manner in an augmented reality manner. The process of obtaining a fisheye image using a fisheye camera and calculating the direction information of the identifiable object relative to the fisheye camera in an actual shooting environment is described below with reference to FIGS. 3-4, for the same identifiable object, according to Two or more directions information is used to calculate the position information.
图3是根据本发明实施例的在采用鱼眼镜头进行拍摄时,用于在鱼眼图像中计算出可辨识物件与鱼眼镜头的相对方向信息的原理示意图;图3示出由下文和图4(4A、4B和4C)中所描述原理得出的物件定向(相对于视向平面的仰角及方位角)运算过程。在图中,使用相对于视向平面指向下的光轴,对于物件侦测单元中的被侦测物件,其图像位置P(例如被侦测物件的中心或物件上的某个参考点)在点P’(即P点在图片中的位置)处。点P’在空间中的实际对应位置是空间位置点P,其具有相对于视向平面的仰角以及相对于系统方向参考线的方位角。3 is a schematic diagram showing the principle of calculating relative direction information of an identifiable object and a fisheye lens in a fisheye image when photographing with a fisheye lens according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 3 is shown below and The principle of object orientation (elevation and azimuth with respect to the viewing plane) resulting from the principles described in 4 (4A, 4B, and 4C). In the figure, using the optical axis pointing downward with respect to the viewing plane, the image position P (for example, the center of the detected object or a reference point on the object) is detected for the detected object in the object detecting unit. Point P' (ie the position of point P in the picture). The actual corresponding position of point P' in space is the spatial position point P, which has an elevation angle with respect to the viewing plane and an azimuth with respect to the system direction reference line.
点P’与鱼眼图像的光轴相距轴向距离R(以像素计),利用R值,通过该鱼眼的鱼眼函数 (fisheye function)来计算点P相对于视向平面的对应P点与光轴的夹角(此例为天底角)。显然: The point P' is spaced from the optical axis of the fisheye image by an axial distance R (in pixels), and the corresponding P point of the point P with respect to the viewing plane is calculated by the fisheye function of the fisheye using the R value. The angle with the optical axis (in this case, the nadir angle). Obviously:
仰角= P点与光轴的夹角–90度Elevation angle = angle between P point and optical axis – 90 degrees
明显地,相对于系统的方向参考线的方位角是由鱼眼图像上点P’的径向线与参考线形成的角度。Obviously, the azimuth of the direction reference line relative to the system is the angle formed by the radial line of the point P' on the fisheye image with the reference line.
图4A是表示其中鱼眼镜头的光轴的取向与视向平面垂直的侧面示意图;图4B是表示鱼眼镜头的光轴相对于视向平面垂直向下时,仰角与图像分辨率之间的关系示意图;图4C是表示鱼眼镜头的光轴相对于视向平面垂直向上时,仰角与图像分辨率之间的关系示意图。4A is a schematic side view showing the orientation of the optical axis of the fisheye lens perpendicular to the viewing plane; and FIG. 4B is a view showing the relationship between the elevation angle and the image resolution when the optical axis of the fisheye lens is vertically downward with respect to the viewing plane. FIG. 4C is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the elevation angle and the image resolution when the optical axis of the fisheye lens is vertically upward with respect to the viewing plane.
其中,图4A描绘了在鱼眼图像拍摄单元中鱼眼光轴相对于视向平面的取向之横截面视图。参考附图,视向平面定义了360度环绕观察的鱼眼观察点处的三维视图领域的零度仰角,并且包含视向线。视向可以是任意观察方向,或者其可以为系统的正前方或前进/移动方向,如在本专利说明书下文中描述的本发明“智能定位驾驶”应用的情形中那样;视向可以是非地平面方向,例如机器人的眼睛观察方向。同样,视向平面可以是地平面或非地平面,其随着系统的取向变化,如在本专利说明书下文描述的智能导盲杖应用的情形中那样。在本发明中,鱼眼光轴的取向应当沿与观察点的视向平面垂直的方向特定取向(例如通过固定装置或安装),即相对于视向平面指向上或指向下,以获得待辨识环境的360度环绕着系统的整体鱼眼图像。鱼眼的所有可见方向的空间可以用倒置圆顶(如图4A鱼眼光轴相对于视向平面垂直指向下),和非倒置圆顶(当鱼眼光轴相对于视向平面垂直指向上) 来描述,如通过横截面视图中的边界虚线描述的那样。显然,参考图中,鱼眼/超鱼眼的FOV越大,则它可利用环绕360度鱼眼图像观察和检测用于周围环境中的物件的空间方向就越多。4A depicts a cross-sectional view of the orientation of the fisheye optical axis relative to the viewing plane in the fisheye image capture unit. Referring to the drawings, the viewing plane defines the zero elevation angle of the three-dimensional view field at the fisheye viewing point of the 360 degree surround view, and includes the line of sight. The viewing direction may be any viewing direction, or it may be the front of the system or the forward/moving direction, as in the case of the "smart positioning driving" application of the invention described in the following patent specification; the viewing direction may be a non-ground plane Direction, such as the direction of the robot's eye. Likewise, the viewing plane may be a ground plane or a non-ground plane that varies with the orientation of the system, as in the case of the smart guide stick application described below in this patent specification. In the present invention, the orientation of the fisheye optical axis should be oriented in a direction perpendicular to the viewing plane of the viewing point (e.g., by fixture or mounting), i.e., pointing upward or downward relative to the viewing plane to obtain an environment to be identified. The 360 degree surrounds the system's overall fisheye image. The space of all visible directions of the fisheye can be inverted with a dome (as shown in Figure 4A, the fisheye axis is vertically pointing downward with respect to the viewing plane), and the non-inverted dome (when the fisheye axis is pointing vertically with respect to the viewing plane) Description, as described by the dotted line in the cross-sectional view. Obviously, in the reference figure, the larger the FOV of the fisheye/super fisheye, the more it can observe and detect the spatial orientation of the objects used in the surrounding environment using the 360-degree fisheye image.
图4B和图4C中示出了鱼眼相机的不同视向图,其中在图4B中光轴指向下,在图4C中指向上。对于所描述的鱼眼光轴取向,相同仰角(或高度角)相对于视向平面的等仰角线位于所得鱼眼图像中的圆上。视向平面的所有方向(即360度)位于代表零度仰角的圆(即零度等仰角线)上。类似地,任意其他仰角的所有360度方向也都用其围绕鱼眼光轴中心的对应圆来表示。其结果是,图4B和图4C中鱼眼图像代表以视向平面为零度仰角之360度环绕图像。A different perspective view of the fisheye camera is shown in Figures 4B and 4C, with the optical axis pointing downward in Figure 4B and pointing upward in Figure 4C. For the described fisheye optical axis orientation, the same elevation angle (or elevation angle) is located on a circle in the resulting fisheye image with respect to the equal elevation line of the viewing plane. All directions of the viewing plane (ie, 360 degrees) are located on a circle representing the zero elevation angle (ie, an elevation line such as zero degrees). Similarly, all 360 degree directions of any other elevation angle are also represented by their corresponding circles around the center of the fisheye optical axis. As a result, the fisheye image in Figures 4B and 4C represents a 360 degree surround image with a viewing angle of zero elevation.
在其中光轴相对于视向平面指向下的图4B中,当从圆形鱼眼图像的中心向外移动时,仰角从负值向零度(视向平面)向正值变化。当向外移动时,圆的圆周以及像素数目增加,因此我们看见,对于相对于视向平面而言较高的仰角(或高度角),图像的“圆形”分辨率也较高。右侧显示对应的经转换平(矩形)全景图,其中下部分为较低的仰角,上部分为较高的仰角。若将圆形鱼眼图像转换成这种标准的平景图像,上部分为较高的仰角会有较高分辨率 。由于初始圆形鱼眼图像中较低的仰角的“圆形”分辨率(即像素数目)低于较高仰角的“圆形”分辨率(即像素数目),所以平全景图像中较低的仰角实际上具有较低的分辨率,因此需要进行不同程度的图像放大、例如以图像插值以达到具有与较高仰角中相同的像素数目。结果,在该情况下(其中鱼眼光轴相对于视向平面指向下),较高的仰角对于物件检测和图像处理准确度/精确度而言更佳。在其中光轴相对于视向平面指向上的图4C中,反之亦然,即较低的仰角相比较高的仰角具有更高的“圆形”分辨率。结果,在这种情况下(其中鱼眼光轴相对于视向平面指向上),较低的仰角对于物件检测和图像处理准确度/精确度而言更佳。利用目前提供非常高分辨率数字图像的高分辨率感光组件,可以在具有较少“圆形”分辨率/像素的仰角部分上也能获得很高的图像处理准确度/精确度。In FIG. 4B in which the optical axis is directed downward with respect to the viewing plane, the elevation angle changes from a negative value to a zero degree (viewing plane) to a positive value when moving outward from the center of the circular fisheye image. As we move outward, the circumference of the circle and the number of pixels increase, so we see that the "circular" resolution of the image is also higher for higher elevation angles (or elevation angles) relative to the viewing plane. The corresponding converted flat (rectangular) panorama is displayed on the right side, with the lower part being the lower elevation angle and the upper part being the higher elevation angle. If a circular fisheye image is converted to this standard flat image, the upper portion will have a higher resolution for a higher elevation angle. Since the "circular" resolution (ie, the number of pixels) of the lower elevation angle in the initial circular fisheye image is lower than the "circular" resolution (ie, the number of pixels) of the higher elevation angle, the lower panoramic image is lower. The elevation angle actually has a lower resolution, so different degrees of image magnification, such as image interpolation, are required to achieve the same number of pixels as in the higher elevation angle. As a result, in this case (where the fisheye optical axis points downward with respect to the viewing plane), a higher elevation angle is better for object detection and image processing accuracy/accuracy. In Figure 4C, where the optical axis is pointing relative to the viewing plane, and vice versa, the lower elevation angle has a higher "circular" resolution than the higher elevation angle. As a result, in this case (where the fisheye optical axis points upward with respect to the viewing plane), the lower elevation angle is better for object detection and image processing accuracy/accuracy. With high-resolution light-sensing components that currently provide very high-resolution digital images, high image processing accuracy/accuracy can be achieved at elevations with less "circular" resolution/pixels.

驾驶员启动包含基于360度数码拍摄鱼眼图像的360度环绕方位及位置感知物件信息获取系统的智能汽车导航仪。该智能汽车导航仪可集成在车辆上或者作为独立设备安装在车辆的合适位置。优选地,该智能汽车导航仪包括两个鱼眼相机,分别设置在车辆的靠近前挡风玻璃的左右两侧,驾驶员启动包含360度环绕方位及位置感知物件信息获取系统的智能汽车导航仪后,该智能汽车导航仪的鱼眼相机开始拍摄周围环境的图像。The driver activates a smart car navigator that includes a 360 degree surround orientation and position sensing object information acquisition system based on a 360 degree digital fisheye image. The smart car navigator can be integrated into the vehicle or installed as a stand-alone device in a suitable location on the vehicle.

具体地,智能汽车导航仪开始工作后,鱼眼图像拍摄单元开始拍摄并捕捉周围的待辨识环境,通常是360°环绕的环境,以便获得该待辨识环境的整体鱼眼图像。物件侦测单元从该整体鱼眼图像中获得双正方形图案,该双正方形图案中包含二维码信息。物件信息获取单元通过双正方形图案中的二维码提供的链接网址来读取高精度全球地图的位置信息,该地图位置信息通常包括经度、纬度,通过经度、纬度的唯一确定即可得到高精度全球地图的位置信息。物件定向运算单元从待识别物件(例如:该双正方形图案)中计算出方向信息。系统定位运算单元运用三角测量法测量每个待识别物件相对于该智能汽车导航仪的相对位置信息。另外,设置上述双正方形图案的侦测标志可以包括道路标志、商店标志等,该商店的广告信息包括能进一步从标志的网络链接网址下载的音频信息和视频信息。Specifically, after the smart car navigation device starts working, the fisheye image capturing unit starts capturing and capturing the surrounding environment to be recognized, usually a 360° surrounding environment, in order to obtain an overall fisheye image of the environment to be identified. The object detecting unit obtains a double square pattern from the overall fisheye image, and the double square pattern includes two-dimensional code information. The object information acquiring unit reads the position information of the high-precision global map by using the link URL provided by the two-dimensional code in the double square pattern, and the map position information usually includes the longitude and the latitude, and the high precision can be obtained by the unique determination of the longitude and the latitude.

在具体实施中,可辨识物件的有关细节信息(例如:经度信息和纬度信息)为提前确定地输入,通过物件信息获取单元进行获取也就避免了实时定位过程中的因为电磁波传导原因造成的各种误差。首先,由于可辨识物件的有关细节信息为第三方主动输入,其信息一般为第三方实时更新的信息,从而规避现有地图更新慢进而导致定位失败的问题,例如某店铺在更名后,当使用者以该店铺更新后的店名作为目标抵达地,现有的地图往往因为还未及时将地图中的店铺名更新带来定位失败;其次,依赖电磁波信号定位的方式在很大程度上取决于接收到的电磁波本身,而使用者在每次定位过程中,往往环境因素各异,例如在某次定位中,其发出的信号被障碍物阻挡,其带来的结果往往是每次输入相同定位地址却得到不同的目标地点。然而,通过先获得可辨识物件精准的地点,再将其与地图关联就解决了上述缺陷,因为店铺虽然更名,但是店铺的经纬度信息却没有发生任何的实质性变化,因此其不会因为地图信息未及时更新或店铺名字改变带来任何影响。上述实例仅为用于解释本发明思想所用,还当理解,本申请不仅仅限于店铺更名这一情形,建筑物拆迁,建筑物更名,商户更名或是其他类似的情形在不脱离该中心思想的情形下也均应当涵盖于该发明中。In a specific implementation, the detailed information about the identifiable object (for example, longitude information and latitude information) is input in advance, and the object information acquiring unit acquires, thereby avoiding each of the reasons caused by electromagnetic wave conduction in the real-time positioning process. Kind of error. First, since the relevant details of the identifiable object are actively input by the third party, the information is generally updated by the third party in real time, thereby avoiding the problem that the existing map is updated slowly and causing the positioning failure, for example, when a store is renamed, when used The shop's updated store name is used as the target arrival place. The existing maps often fail to locate the store name in the map. Secondly, the way to rely on electromagnetic wave signal positioning depends largely on receiving. The electromagnetic wave itself, and the user often has different environmental factors in each positioning process. For example, in a certain positioning, the signal emitted by the user is blocked by the obstacle, and the result is often the same positioning address input every time. But get different target locations. However, the above defects are solved by first obtaining the exact location of the identifiable object and then associating it with the map. Because the store is renamed, the latitude and longitude information of the store has not undergone any substantial change, so it will not be because of the map information. Not being updated in time or the name of the store has changed. The above examples are only used to explain the idea of the present invention. It is also understood that the present application is not limited to the case where the store is renamed, the building is demolished, the building is renamed, the merchant is renamed, or the like is not separated from the center. In this case, it should also be covered in the invention.
