具体实施方式

本公开提供了一种注视区域检测方法,可以应用于智能驾驶、人机交互、安防监控等场景中。本公开将以该注视区域检测方法应用于智能驾驶场景为例进行详细说明。
在本公开实施例中,涉及的执行主体可以包括:计算机系统和设置于预定三维空间中的摄像头。设置于预定三维空间中的摄像头可以将采集的用户的人脸图像数据发送给上述计算机系统。该计算机系统可以利用人工神经网络对上述人脸图像数据进行处理,检测出该用户的注意力集中在预定三维空间中的哪部分区域,即检测出该用户的目标注视区域,以便计算机系统根据上述用户的目标注视区域输出对应的操作控制信息如智能驾驶车辆的指令等信息。
上述计算机系统可以设置于服务器、服务器集群或者云平台中,也可以是个人计算机、车载设备、移动终端等电子设备中的计算机系统。上述摄像头可以是车载设备如行车记录仪中的摄像头、智能终端 的摄像头等。上述智能终端可以包括例如智能手机、PDA(Personal Digital Assistant,个人数字助理)、平板电脑、车载设备等电子设备。在具体实现过程中,摄像头和计算机系统可以各自独立,同时又相互联系,共同实现本公开实施例提供的注视区域检测方法。下面以计算机系统为例,对本公开提供的注视区域检测方法进行详细说明。
图1是根据本公开的示例性实施例的一种注视区域检测方法的流程图。所述方法可以由计算机系统执行,可以应用于各种智能设备(例如,智能交通工具、智能机器人、智能家居设备等)。如图1所示,该方法可以包括步骤11~13。
在步骤11,获取在预定三维空间内采集的人脸图像。
以M型号的车辆为例,预定三维空间为该车辆的空间,可在该车辆的内部空间如中控台位置固定安装有一台摄像头,该摄像头可以实时或按照预设时间周期等方式采集目标对象如驾驶员的人脸图像提供给计算机系统,使得该计算机系统获取所采集的人脸图像。
在步骤12,基于所述人脸图像进行视线检测以得到视线检测结果。
本公开实施例中,计算机系统可以基于上述人脸图像进行人眼视线检测,获得视线检测结果。人眼视线检测是基于对人脸图像中人眼的位置和/或视线方向进行分析,得到视线检测结果。本公开对进行人眼视线的方法并不限制,即可以采用本公开实施例提及的方法进行人眼视线检测,也可采用传统的其他方法进行人眼视线检测。上述视线检测结果可以包括人脸图像中人的视线起点信息和视线方向信息,还可以包括人脸图像中人的头部姿态等信息。
在步骤13,利用预先针对所述预定三维空间训练完成的注视区域分类器,根据所述视线检测结果检测所述人脸图像对应的目标注视区域的类别。
所述目标注视区域属于预先对所述预定三维空间划分得到的多类定义注视区域之一。例如,可以将车辆行进过程中驾驶员可以注视到的各空间作为预定三维空间,如前挡风玻璃、后视镜或者车内的其他空间等等。
如上示例,计算机系统在获得上述人脸图像中人的视线检测结果之后,可以将上述视线检测结果输入至预先训练好的、针对上述M型号智能驾驶车辆的注视区域分类器中,从而检测出上述人脸图像对应的目标注视区域的类别,即检测出在图像采集时人脸图像中的人如驾驶员正在注视车辆的什么区域。
本公开中,上述针对预定三维空间的注视区域分类器是由计算机系统预先基于针对上述预定三维空间的训练样本集训练完成的,其中,所述训练样本集包括多个视线特征样本,每个所述视线特征样本包括视线起点信息、视线方向信息、以及该视线特征样本对应的注视区域类别的标注信息,标注的注视区域的类别属于针对所述预定三维空间划分的多类定义注视区域之一。
根据本公开实施例,在针对预定三维空间训练注视区域分类器之前,对预定三维空间中人眼视线可能关注的三维空间区域进行了精细分类,获得多类定义注视区域,并基于每一类定义注视区域对应的训练样本集进行分类器训练,获得针对预定三维空间的注视区域分类器。后续利用该注视区域分类器根据视线检测结果即可准确检测目标注视区域信息,计算简单并能有效减小目标注视区域的误判率,从而可以为后续操作提供更准确的信息。
上述步骤12对应的视线检测阶段与预定三维空间中多类定义注视区域的分布无关,而上述步骤13对应的注视区域检测阶段则与上述多类定义注视区域在预定三维空间中的分布有关。例如,由于不同型号车辆的整体空间大小可能不同,而且同一类别区域如杂物箱在不同车辆空间中的位置可能不同,因此针对不同三维空间对多类定义注视区域的划分也可能不同,如定义注视区域的数量和类别不同。因此,需要针对不同的三维空间训练不同的注视区域分类器,例如,针对空间分布不同的M型车和N型车,分别训练不同的注视区域分类器。
因此,对于不同型号的车辆可以采用相同的方法进行视线检测,在更换车型时只需重新训练注视区域分类器即可。相比于端到端方式下重新训练整个卷积神经网络,注视区域分类器的训练相对简单,不 需要那么多数据,且训练速度快,因而可以显著地降低在不同车型间迁移使用上述注视区域检测方法的时间成本和技术难度。
在本公开另一实施例中,上述注视区域检测方法还可以包括:在上述步骤11之前,获取针对所述预定三维空间训练完成的注视区域分类器。本公开中,可以采用下列方式一或方式二获取针对所述预定三维空间训练完成的注视区域分类器。
方式一,在需要进行注视区域检测时,实时训练针对预定三维空间的注视区域分类器。
如图2所示,实时训练针对预定三维空间的注视区域分类器可以包括:步骤101,将至少一个视线特征样本的视线起点信息和视线方向信息输入待训练的注视区域分类器,获得该视线特征样本对应的注视区域类别预测信息;步骤102,根据所述注视区域类别预测信息和该视线特征样本对应的注视区域类别的标注信息之间的偏差,对所述注视区域分类器进行参数调整,以训练所述注视区域分类器。
例如,上述预定三维空间可以是某一型号车辆的空间。首先可以确定用于采集人脸图像的摄像头的固定位置,比如,将摄像头固定于中控台位置,以采集驾驶区域中驾驶员的人脸图像,后续分类器训练阶段以及检测阶段所需要的人脸图像均由该固定位置的上述摄像头采集。
同时,针对上述车辆的不同部位进行注视区域划分,主要是根据驾驶员在车辆驾驶过程中眼睛需要关注的区域,在上述车辆空间中划分出多类定义注视区域,并分别针对每一类定义注视区域设置对应的类别信息。
在本公开一实施例中,对车辆空间划分得到的多类定义注视区域可以包括下列中至少两类:左前挡风玻璃区域、右前挡风玻璃区域、仪表盘区域、车内后视镜区域、中控台区域、左后视镜区域、右后视镜区域、遮光板区域、换挡杆区域、方向盘下方区域、副驾驶区域、副驾驶前方的杂物箱区域。
图3是根据本公开的示例性实施例的多类定义注视区域的示意图。针对一预设型号的车辆,可以确定如下多类定义注视区域:左前挡风玻璃、右前挡风玻璃、仪表盘、车内后视镜、中控台、左后视镜、右后视镜、遮阳板、换挡杆、手机。可以分别针对每一类定义注视区域预先设置对应的类别信息,如利用数字表示的类别值。上述多类定义注视区域与预设类别值之间的对应关系可以如表1所示:
表1
定义注视区域 类别值
左前挡风玻璃 1
右前挡风玻璃 2
仪表盘 3
车内后视镜 4
中控台 5
左后视镜 6
右后视镜 7
遮阳板 8
换挡杆 9
手机 10
需要说明的是,上述类别信息也可以采用预设英文字母如A、B、C…J等表示。
之后,采集人脸图像样本,获得训练样本集。该训练样本集可以包括多个视线特征样本,其中,每个所述视线特征样本包括视线起点信息、视线方向信息、以及该视线特征样本对应的注视区域类别的标注信息,标注的注视区域的类别属于针对所述预定三维空间划分的多类定义注视区域之一。其中,关于如何基于人脸图像确定人的视线起点信息和视线方向信息,将在后面详细描述。
然后,根据上述训练样本集,通过迭代执行以下步骤来训练针对上述预定三维空间的分类器:将上述训练样本集中一个视线特征样本的视线起点信息和视线方向信息输入待训练的注视区域分类器,获得该视线特征样本对应的注视区域类别的预测信息;根据针对该视线特征样本的所述注视区域类别的预测信息和注视区域类别的标注信息之间的偏差,对所述注视区域分类器进行参数调整,以训练所述注视区域分类器。
在一示例性实施例中,上述步骤102可以包括:根据同一视线特征样本的注视区域类别的预测值和注视区域类别的标注值之间的差值,获得损失函数值;当所述损失函数值满足预设训练终止条件时,终止训练,将当前训练阶段的分类器确定为训练完成的分类器;反之,若所述损失函数值不满足上述预设训练终止条件,则基于所述损失函数值对所述注视区域分类器进行参数调整。
本公开实施例中,损失函数是在训练过程中用于度量分类器模型对训练样本误分类程度的数学化表示。损失函数值可以基于整个训练样本集求得,上述损失函数值越大表示当前训练阶段的分类器的误分类概率越大,反之上述损失函数值越小表示当前训练阶段的分类器的误分类概率越小。
上述预设训练终止条件为终止训练注视区域分类器的条件。在一实施例中,上述预设训练终止条件可以是:预设损失函数的损失函数值小于预设阈值。理想情况下,上述预设训练终止条件应该是损失函数值等于0,表示当前分类器预测的注视区域类别均正确。在实际操作中,考虑到注视区域分类器训练效率和训练成本的问题,上述预设阈值可以是预设的一个经验值。
如上示例,若当前损失函数值大于或等于上述预设阈值,表示当前训练阶段的分类器的预测结果准确率还达不到预期,因此可以利用上述损失函数值调整注视区域分类器的相关参数,然后利用更新参数后的注视区域分类器迭代执行步骤101和步骤102,直至满足预设训练终止条件,获得上述针对预定三维空间训练完成的注视区域分类器。
本公开实施例中,计算机系统可以采用支持向量机、朴素贝叶斯、决策树、随机森林、K近邻(K-means)等算法训练上述注视区域分类器。
本申请实施例中,针对预定三维空间的变化,只需重新确定训练样本集并训练对应的注视区域分类器。由于分类器的训练不需要大量数据并且训练速度较快,因而可以显著降低了在不同三维空间(如不同车型的空间)之间迁移使用注视区域检测方法的时间成本和技术难度。
方式二,在需要进行注视区域检测时,从预设存储资源中直接获取上述针对预定三维空间的注视区域分类器。
在本公开一实施例中,计算机系统可以将针对每一种预定三维空间训练完成的注视区域分类器与该预定三维空间的空间标识相关联地存储至指定存储资源中,比如云端服务器中,形成预设注视区域分类器集合。在上述智能驾驶应用场景中,上述预设注视区域分类器集合可以包括多个车辆型号与注视区域分类器的对应关系,如表2所示:
表2
车辆型号 分类器
M01 第一分类器
M02 第二分类器
M03 第三分类器
若一辆已知型号(例如型号为M01)的新车的计算机系统中未设置注视区域分类器程序,则该车辆 在进行注视区域检测之前,可以根据自身的型号(例如M01)自动从云端服务器下载对应的目标注视区域分类器程序(例如上述第一分类器对应的计算机程序),从而快速实现注视区域检测。
本公开实施例中,上述步骤12获得的人眼视线检测结果至少包括上述人脸图像中人的视线起点信息和视线方向信息,还可以包括人脸图像中人的头部姿态信息。
根据本公开的实施例,如图4所示,可以通过执行步骤1211~1212来确定人脸图像中人的视线起点信息。
在步骤1211,检测所述人脸图像中的眼睛位置。
本公开实施例中,上述眼睛位置为人脸图像中的人眼在实际相机坐标系中的位置。上述实际相机坐标系为计算机系统基于上述摄像头确定的空间直角坐标系。上述摄像头为上述预定三维空间中拍摄上述人脸图像的摄像头,可以标记为摄像头C0。
该实际相机坐标系的Z轴为上述摄像头的光轴,摄像头透镜的光心为该预设实际相机坐标系的原点。实际相机坐标系的水平轴即X轴、垂直轴即Y轴平行于上述摄像头的镜头平面。
本公开实施例中,计算机系统可以采用以下任一方式检测人脸图像中的眼睛位置:第一种方式,基于至少两台摄像头针对同一目标对象如上述驾驶员同时采集的至少两帧人脸图像,利用相机标定方法获取上述人脸图像中的眼睛位置,上述至少两个摄像头中包括采集待测人脸图像的摄像头;第二种方式,检测所述人脸图像中人的头部姿态信息,基于所述头部姿态信息检测所述人脸图像中的眼睛位置。
在本公开一实施例中,计算机系统可以根据一台摄像头拍摄的人脸图像,利用相关技术中的头部姿态估计方法如柔性模型方法、几何方法等,确定上述驾驶员的头部姿态信息,并基于头部姿态信息获取目标对象的眼睛在预设实际相机坐标系下的3D位置,上述预设实际相机坐标系是基于上述摄像头C0确定的相机坐标系。
采用上述第二种眼睛位置确定方式,利用一台摄像头即单目相机所采集的人脸图像,即可实现人眼3D位置的确定,从而可以节约用于注视区域检测的硬件配置成本。
在步骤1212,根据所述眼睛位置确定所述人脸图像中人的视线起点信息。
本公开中,上述步骤1211从人脸图像中检测的眼睛位置可能包括人脸图像中的目标对象如驾驶员单眼的位置,也可能包括双眼的位置(即驾驶员左眼和右眼的位置)。
相应的,本公开实施例中可以采用以下方式一或方式二确定上述人脸图像中人的视线起点信息。
方式一,根据单眼的位置确定上述人脸图像中人的视线起点信息。在一实施例中,若步骤1211确定的所述眼睛位置包括双眼的位置,可以根据其中任意一只眼睛的位置确定上述人脸图像中人的视线起点信息。在另一实施例中,若步骤1211确定的眼睛位置包括单眼的位置,则根据该单眼的位置确定上述人脸图像中人的视线起点信息。
方式二,若步骤1211确定的所述眼睛位置包括双眼的位置,确定所述双眼的中间位置为所述视线起点信息,其中,上述双眼的中间位置可以是双眼3D坐标连线的中点位置,也可以是双眼3D坐标连线上的其它位置。
本公开实施例中,采用上述方式二确定人脸图像中人的视线起点信息,相较于上述方式一,有利于消除因单眼检测误差而导致的视线起点信息的不准确,进而提高视线检测结果的准确度。
根据本公开的实施例,如图5所示,可以通过执行步骤1221~1222来检测人脸图像中人的视线方向信息。
在步骤1221,检测人脸图像中人的头部姿态信息。
如上所述,计算机系统可以根据一台摄像头拍摄的人脸图像,利用相关技术中的头部姿态估计方法如柔性模型方法、几何方法等,确定上述驾驶员的头部姿态信息。
上述柔性模型方法是指在图像平面的头部图像脸部结构上匹配一个柔性的模型如主动形状模型(Active Shape Model,ASM)、主动外观模型(Active Appearance Model,AAM)、弹性图匹配模型(Elastic  Graph Matching,EGM)等,通过特征比较或是模型的参数得到头部姿态估计的最终结果。
几何方法是指利用头部的形状和脸部局部特征点的精确形态信息如眼睛、鼻子、嘴巴的相关位置,估计头部姿态。
根据本公开实施例,可以基于单目相机采集的单帧图像,估计图像中人的头部姿态。
根据本公开的实施例,如图6所示,可以通过执行步骤1201~1202来检测人脸图像中人的头部姿态信息(步骤1221)。
在步骤1201,检测所述人脸图像中的多个人脸关键点。
本公开一实施例中,可以通过Robert算法、Sobel算法等边缘检测算法进行人脸关键点检测,也可通过相关模型如主动轮廓线模型(如Snake模型)等进行人脸关键点检测。
在本公开另一实施例中,可以通过用于进行人脸关键点检测的神经网络进行人脸关键点检测。此外,还可以通过第三方应用(例如Dlib工具包)来进行人脸关键点检测。
采用上述方法可以检测出预设数量(如160个)的脸部关键点位置,可以包括左眼角、右眼角、鼻尖、左嘴角、右嘴角、下颌等人脸关键点的位置坐标。可以理解的是,人脸关键点检测方法不同,得到的人脸关键点位置坐标的数量也可能不同。例如,采用Dlib工具包可以检测出68个脸部关键点位置。
在步骤1202,基于所检测出的人脸关键点和预设平均人脸模型,确定所述人脸图像中人的头部姿态信息。
返回参见图5,在步骤1222,基于所述头部姿态信息检测所述人脸图像中人的视线方向信息。
本公开实施例中,可以基于头部姿态信息,利用已训练的神经网络检测上述人脸图像中人的视线方向信息。
参见图7,所述步骤1222可以包括步骤12221~12223。
在步骤12221,根据所述头部姿态信息对所述人脸图像进行规范化处理,获得转正人脸图像。
在实际操作中,对于摄像头C0在不同时刻采集的人脸图像,人脸区域图像在整个图像中的位置是随机变化的,图像中人的头部姿态也是随机变化的。若在训练上述神经网络时将摄像头直接采集的人脸图像作为样本图像,势必因人头部姿态以及人脸区域图像位置的随机性而增加神经网络的训练难度及训练时长。
根据本公开的实施例,在训练上述用于检测视线方向的神经网络时,为了降低训练难度,首先对训练样本集中的各个样本图像数据做了规范化处理,使得规范化处理后的样本图像数据相当于虚拟摄像机正对着人头部拍摄的图像数据,然后利用规范化处理后的样本图像数据训练该神经网络。
相应的,在该神经网络的应用阶段,为确保视线方向信息检测的准确性,也需要首先对人脸图像进行规范化处理,获得对应的虚拟相机坐标系下的转正人脸图像,以输入上述神经网络来检测视线方向信息。
参见图8A,上述步骤12221可以包括步骤12-1~12-3。
在步骤12-1,根据所述头部姿态信息确定所述人脸图像中人的头部坐标系。例如,所述头部坐标系的X轴平行于左右眼坐标的连线;所述头部坐标系的Y轴在人脸平面内垂直于所述X轴;所述头部坐标系的Z轴垂直于所述人脸平面;人眼视线的起点为所述头部坐标系的原点。
本公开实施例中,计算机系统根据上述人脸图像检测出目标对象的头部姿态信息,相当于计算机系统预测出了目标对象的三维头部模型。该三维头部模型可以表示在摄像头C0采集上述人脸图像时目标对象的头部相对于摄像头C0的姿态信息。在此基础上,计算机系统可以基于头部姿态信息确定目标对象的头部坐标系。
该头部坐标系可以表示为空间直角坐标系。上述头部坐标系的X轴可以与上述三维头部模型中两眼的3D位置坐标的连线平行。可以将两眼的3D位置坐标连线的中点即上述人眼视线的起点确定为上述头部坐标系的原点。所述头部坐标系的Y轴在人脸平面内垂直于所述X轴。所述头部坐标系的Z轴垂 直于人脸平面。
在步骤12-2,基于所述头部坐标系对所述人脸图像对应的实际相机坐标系进行旋转及平移,获得虚拟相机坐标系。例如,所述虚拟相机坐标系的Z轴指向所述头部坐标系的原点,所述虚拟相机坐标系的X轴与所述头部坐标系的X轴处于同一平面内,所述虚拟相机坐标系的原点与所述头部坐标系的原点之间在所述虚拟相机坐标系的Z轴方向上间隔预设距离。
本公开实施例中,在计算机系统确定了目标对象的头部坐标系后,可以参照上述头部坐标系对上述摄像头进行旋转、平移操作以确定一个虚拟摄像头,并基于上述虚拟摄像头在头部坐标系下的位置,建立上述虚拟摄像头对应的虚拟相机坐标系。该虚拟相机坐标系的建立方法与上述预设实际相机坐标系的建立方法类似,即虚拟相机坐标系的Z轴为上述虚拟摄像头的光轴,上述虚拟相机坐标系的X轴、Y轴平行于该虚拟摄像头的镜头平面;虚拟摄像头镜头的光心为该虚拟相机坐标系的原点。
上述虚拟相机坐标系与头部坐标系的位置关系满足以下三个条件:
条件一、所述虚拟相机坐标系的Z轴指向所述头部坐标系的原点;
条件二、所述虚拟相机坐标系的X轴与所述头部坐标系的X轴处于同一平面内,其中,虚拟相机坐标系的X轴与所述头部坐标系的X轴的相对位置关系包括但不限于平行关系;
条件三、所述虚拟相机坐标系的原点与所述头部坐标系的原点在所述虚拟相机坐标系的Z轴方向上间隔预设距离。
上述过程相当于通过对上述摄像头C0进行以下操作而确定一个虚拟摄像头:旋转所述摄像头C0,使其Z轴指向人眼图像中人的三维视线的起点,同时使摄像头C0的X轴与上述头部坐标系的X轴处于同一平面内;将旋转后的摄像头C0沿其Z轴平移,使其镜头的光心到上述头部坐标系的原点的距离为预设长度。
至此,计算机系统可以根据实际相机坐标系与头部坐标系之间的位置关系、虚拟相机坐标系与上述头部坐标系之间的位置关系,确定实际相机坐标系与上述虚拟相机坐标系之间的位置变换关系。
应当理解的是,本公开中,虚拟相机坐标系与人脸图像中人的头部姿态相关,因此,不同的人脸图像可能对应不同的虚拟相机坐标系。
在步骤12-3,根据所述实际相机坐标系与所述虚拟相机坐标系之间的位置变换关系,对所述人脸图像进行规范化处理,获得所述转正人脸图像。
本公开实施例中,计算机系统可以利用上述实际相机坐标系与虚拟相机坐标系之间的位置变换关系,对上述人脸图像进行旋转、仿射、缩放变换等处理,获得上述虚拟相机坐标系下的转正人脸图像。
图8B示出了根据一示例性实施例的对所获取的人脸图像进行规范化处理的示意图,其中,图像P0为实际车载摄像头C0针对驾驶员采集的人脸图像,图像P1表示经过上述规范化处理后获得的虚拟相机坐标系下的转正人脸图像,即相当于正对着驾驶员头部的一台虚拟摄像头C1采集的驾驶员人脸图像。
返回参见图7,在步骤12222,基于所述转正人脸图像进行视线方向检测,获得第一检测视线方向。例如,上述第一检测视线方向为所述虚拟相机坐标系下的三维视线方向信息,可以是三维方向向量。
本公开实施例中,可以将经过上述规范化处理的转正人脸图像输入已训练好的用于检测视线方向的神经网络,以检测出上述转正人脸图像中人的三维视线方向信息。上述用于检测视线方向的神经网络可以包括深度神经网络(deep neural network,DNN)如卷积神经网络(convolutional neural network,CNN)等。
在步骤12223,对所述第一检测视线方向进行坐标逆变换处理,获得所述人脸图像中人的视线方向信息。
在后续注视区域检测阶段,需要向注视区域分类器输入实际相机坐标系下的视线特征向量。因此,本公开中,在计算机系统检测出虚拟相机坐标系下的视线方向信息即上述第一检测视线方向之后,还需要对上第一检测视线方向进行从虚拟相机坐标系到上述实际相机坐标系的坐标逆变换处理,获得上 述实际相机坐标系下的视线方向信息。
返回参见图1,上述步骤12相当于确定人脸图像中人的视线特征向量的过程,该视线特征向量包括人脸图像中人的视线起点信息和视线方向信息。
在比如智能驾驶的实际应用中,上述对人脸图像进行视线特征向量提取的过程并不会因车型的改变而改变,该阶段所使用的人工神经网络如用于检测人脸关键点的神经网络、用于检测视线方向的神经网络等可以适用于不同车型中,具有很好的迁移性。
如上所述,根据本公开一实施例,在步骤13,可以将在步骤12确定的人脸图像中人的视线起点信息和视线方向信息输入预先针对预定三维空间训练完成的注视区域分类器中,以检测所述人脸图像对应的目标注视区域的类别。
在本公开实施例中,上述步骤13可以包括:根据所述目标注视区域的类别确定目标注视区域信息,并输出所述目标注视区域信息。
比如,分类器可以输出目标注视区域的类别,如图9A所示,或者,直接输出目标注视区域的名称,如图9B所示。
在本公开另一实施例中,上述注视区域检测方法还可以包括:在上述步骤11之前,训练用于检测视线方向的神经网络。该步骤对应三维视线方向估计模型的训练过程。需要说明的是,该步骤与图2所示的实时训练注视区域分类器的过程可以在不同计算机系统中执行。
图10是根据本公开的示例性实施例的训练用于检测三维视线方向的神经网络的方法的流程图。该方法可以包括步骤1001~1005。
在步骤1001,确定包含至少一个人脸样本的原始样本集,其中,每个所述人脸样本包括人脸图像样本和视线方向标注信息。
本公开实施例中,可以采用监督学习方法训练上述神经网络。相应的,用于训练上述神经网络的样本集中的每一个样本可以包含:用于预测的输入信息即人脸图像样本;和该输入信息相应的真实值即实际相机坐标系下实际测得的视线方向信息。本公开实施例中,也将上述实际测得的视线方向信息称为视线方向标注信息。
在步骤1002,根据人脸关键点和平均人脸模型,确定每一个所述人脸图像样本对应的头部姿态信息。
在步骤1003,基于所述头部姿态信息和所述实际相机坐标系,确定每一个所述人脸图像样本对应的转正人脸图像样本和所述视线方向标注信息在所述虚拟坐标系下的虚拟视线方向标注信息;
上述步骤1002和步骤1003的实施过程分别与上述步骤1202、步骤12-1~12-3类似,此处不再赘述。同时,计算机系统可以根据实际相机坐标系到虚拟相机坐标系的位置变换关系,将上述视线方向标注信息转换为虚拟视线标注信息。
至此,获得虚拟相机坐标系下的样本集。然后,可以基于该样本集,通过以下步骤进行迭代训练,直到满足用于检测所述三维视线方向的神经网络的训练要求:在步骤1004,将每个所述转正人脸图像样本输入待训练的三维视线方向检测神经网络,获得三维视线方向预测信息;在步骤1005,根据所述三维视线方向预测信息和所述虚拟视线方向标注信息之间的偏差,对所述神经网络进行参数调整,获得用于检测视线方向信息的神经网络。
本公开实施例中,采用在虚拟相机坐标系下规范化处理后的转正人脸图像作为训练样本数据,可以降低因头部姿态变化而导致的神经网络训练难度,提高用于检测视线方向的神经网络的训练效率。
作为一个例子,在识别出驾驶员的注视区域后,可以根据该注视区域执行进一步的操作。例如,可以根据注视区域类别检测结果,确定人脸图像对应的人的注意力监控结果。比如,所述的注视区域类别检测结果可以是预设时间段内的注视区域检测类别。示例性的,该注视区域类别检测结果可以是“在预设时间段内,该驾驶员的注视区域一直是区域2”,那么,如果该区域2是右前挡风玻璃,说明该驾驶员 的驾驶较为专心。如果该区域2是副驾驶前方的杂物箱区域,说明该驾驶员很有可能分心了,注意力不集中。
在检测出注意力监控结果后,可以输出所述注意力监控结果,例如,可以在车辆内的某个显示区域显示“驾驶很专心”。或者,还可以根据所述注意力监控结果输出分心提示信息,通过显示屏醒目显示或语音提示等方式提示驾驶员“请集中注意力驾驶,确保行车安全”。当然,在具体信息输出时,可以输出注意力监控结果和分心提示信息中的至少一种信息。
通过根据注视区域类别检测确定人的注意力监控结果或者输出分心提示信息,对于驾驶员注意力监控有着重要的帮助,能够有效检测出驾驶员注意力不集中的情况,及时进行提醒,降低事故发生风险,确保行车安全。
上述示例的描述中,都是以在智能驾驶应用场景下监控驾驶员注意力为例进行说明。除此之外,注视区域的检测还可以有其它许多用途。
例如,可以进行基于注视区域检测的车机交互控制。车辆内可以设置有一些电子设备,如多媒体播放器,可以通过检测车辆内人员的注视区域,根据注视区域的检测结果自动控制该多媒体播放器开启播放功能。
示例性的,通过部署在车辆内的摄像头拍摄得到车内人员(如司机或乘客)的人脸图像,通过预先训练的神经网络检测出注视区域类别检测结果。例如,该检测结果可以是:在一段时间T内,该车内人员的注视区域一直是车辆内的某个多媒体播放器上的“注视开启”选项所在的区域。根据上述检测结果可以确定该车内人员要开启该多媒体播放器,从而可以输出相应的控制指令,控制该多媒体播放器开始进行播放。
除了与车辆相关的应用之外,还可以包括游戏控制、智能家居设备控制、广告推送等多种应用场景。以智能家居控制为例,可以采集控制人的人脸图像,通过预先训练的神经网络检测出注视区域类别检测结果。例如,该检测结果可以是:在一段时间T内,该控制人的注视区域一直是智能空调上的“注视开启”选项所在的区域。根据上述检测结果可以确定该控制人要启动智能空调,从而可以输出相应的控制指令,控制该空调开启。
为了便于描述,前述的各方法实施例都被描述为一系列的动作组合。本领域技术人员应该知悉,本公开并不受所描述的动作顺序的限制。依据本公开,某些步骤可以采用其他顺序或者同时进行。
