Abstract
Description
実施の形態1.
実施の形態1に係る乗員状態判定装置は、車両の乗員の少なくとも顔が撮像された撮像画像に基づき、車両の乗員の姿勢が異常姿勢であるか否かを判定する。
以下の実施の形態1では、一例として、乗員状態判定装置が異常姿勢であるか否かを判定する対象となる車両の乗員は、車両のドライバとする。
実施の形態1に係る乗員状態判定装置1は、車両に搭載されることを想定している。
乗員状態判定装置1は、撮像装置2及び出力装置3と接続され、乗員状態判定装置1と撮像装置2と出力装置3とで乗員状態判定システム100を構成する。
乗員状態判定装置1は、撮像装置2が撮像した撮像画像を用いて、ドライバの姿勢が異常姿勢であるか否かを判定する。乗員状態判定装置1の詳細については、後述する。
乗員状態判定装置1は、ドライバの姿勢が異常姿勢であると判定した場合、ドライバの姿勢が異常姿勢であることに対する警告を、出力装置3から出力させる。
出力装置3は、例えば、スピーカ等の音声出力装置である。出力装置3は、例えば、車両に設けられているオーディオ装置に備えられていてもよい。出力装置3は、例えば、乗員状態判定装置1から警告を出力させるための情報(以下「警告情報」という。)が出力されると、ドライバの姿勢が異常姿勢であることを知らせる警告音又は音声メッセージを出力する。また、出力装置3は、例えば、ディスプレイ等の表示装置でもよい。出力装置3は、例えば、乗員状態判定装置1から警告情報が出力されると、ドライバの姿勢が異常姿勢であることを知らせるメッセージを表示する。
また、出力装置3は、例えば、他車両から視認可能に車両外装等に設けられた方向指示器、ハザードランプ又は前照灯等であってもよい。例えば、乗員状態判定装置1は、出力装置3に、警告情報を出力して、他車両の乗員等、車両外に存在する人間へ、車両のドライバが異常状態である旨を報知させることもできる。
出力装置3は、例えば、他車両に搭載されていてもよい。乗員状態判定装置1は、他車両に搭載されている出力装置3に警告情報を送信して、他車両の乗員に対し、車両のドライバが異常状態である旨を知らせる音声出力又は表示等を行うこともできる。
特徴検出部13は、顔向き検出部131、頭位置検出部132、パーツ位置検出部133、及び検出信頼度算出部134を備える。
判定部15は、範囲判定部151、姿勢崩れ判定部152、顔の変化度合い検出部153、誤検出判定部154及び異常姿勢判定部155を備える。
画像取得部11は、取得した撮像画像を、顔検出部12に出力する。
詳細には、顔検出部12は、撮像画像に対して、エッジ検出等、公知の画像認識技術を用いて、ドライバの顔のパーツを示すドライバの顔の特徴点を検出する。なお、顔のパーツとは、目尻、目頭、鼻、口、眉又は顎等である。ドライバの顔の特徴点は、例えば、撮像画像上の座標であらわされる。また、顔検出部12は、ドライバの顔領域を検出してもよい。ドライバの顔領域は、例えば、ドライバの顔の輪郭を囲む最小矩形とする。ドライバの顔領域は、例えば、撮像画像上の上記最小矩形の四隅の座標であらわされる。
なお、撮像装置2の設置位置及び画角は予めわかっているため、仮に、撮像画像には複数の乗員が撮像されていたとしても、顔検出部12は、撮像画像上、どの領域に撮像されている顔がドライバの顔であるかを判別できる。例えば、撮像画像において、ドライバの顔が存在し得る領域(以下「ドライバ検知領域」という。)が予め設定されており、顔検出部12は、ドライバ検知領域に対して、既知の画像認識技術を用いて、ドライバの顔の特徴点及び顔領域を検出する。
顔検出部12は、検出したドライバの顔に関する情報(以下「顔情報」という。)を、特徴検出部13に出力する。顔情報は、例えば、ドライバの顔の特徴点及び顔領域を特定可能な情報が付与された撮像画像である。
“RapidObjectDetectionusingaBoostedCascadeofSimpleFeatures”,2001,PaulViola,etal.
基準姿勢推定部14は、例えば、基準設定期間に検出顔向き及び検出頭位置のうち少なくとも一方の平均値を、ドライバの基準姿勢における検出顔向き及び検出頭位置のうち少なくとも一方(以下、ドライバの基準姿勢における検出顔向きを「基準顔向き」、ドライバの基準姿勢における検出頭位置を「基準頭位置」という。)と推定する。
基準姿勢推定部14は、推定したドライバの基準姿勢に関する情報(以下「基準姿勢情報」という。)を、判定部15に出力する。基準姿勢情報は、基準顔向き及び基準頭位置のうち少なくとも一方の情報を含む。なお、基準顔向きは、ヨー角、ピッチ角及びロール角のうち少なくともいずれか一方であらわされる。基準頭位置は、例えば、実空間上の座標であらわされる。また、基準姿勢情報は、ドライバの頭位置の情報として、ドライバの頭位置の座標情報を含む。
複数の姿勢崩れタイプには、予め、ドライバが異常状態であることに起因する異常姿勢であるとする姿勢のタイプが設定されている。
ドライバの顔の変化は、ドライバが顔の少なくとも一部を動かしてドライバの顔の状態が変わることを意味し、顔の変化度合いとは、予め定められた期間において、どの程度ドライバの顔の変化があったかを示す。ドライバの顔の変化は、例えば、ドライバが瞬きをすること等、ドライバの顔の変化度合いは、例えば、予め定められた期間におけるドライバの瞬きの回数等が挙げられる。実施の形態1では、一例として、ドライバの顔の変化を、ドライバが瞬きをすること、ドライバの顔の変化度合いは、予め定められた期間におけるドライバの瞬きの回数とする。
なお、検出目の位置を用いてドライバの開眼度を検出し、ドライバによる瞬きの有無を判定したが、検出目の位置と顔のパーツの検出信頼度を用いてドライバの開眼度を検出し、ドライバによる瞬きの有無を判定してもよい。
なお、乗員状態判定装置1の動作は、例えば、車両のイグニッションがONにされた後に開始される。また、撮像装置2から撮像画像を取得する度、つまり毎フレーム乗員状態の判定処理を行うと好ましい。
画像取得部11は、取得した撮像画像を、顔検出部12に出力する。
顔検出部12は、顔情報を、特徴検出部13に出力する。
顔向き検出部131は、顔向き情報を、基準姿勢推定部14及び判定部15に出力する。
頭位置検出部132は、頭位置情報を、基準姿勢推定部14及び判定部15に出力する。
頭位置検出部132は、頭位置情報を、基準姿勢推定部14及び判定部15に出力する。
パーツ位置検出部133は、パーツ位置情報を、判定部15に出力する。
検出信頼度算出部134は、検出信頼度を、基準姿勢推定部14及び判定部15の少なくとも一方に出力する。
範囲判定部151は、検出顔向き及び検出頭位置のうち少なくとも一方が第1の範囲又は第3の範囲に該当する場合、又は変位量が第1の範囲又は第3の範囲に該当する場合、範囲判定結果を異常姿勢判定部155に出力する。
範囲判定部151は、検出顔向き及び検出頭位置のうち少なくとも一方が第2の範囲に該当する場合、又は変位量が第2の範囲に該当する場合、範囲判定結果を姿勢崩れ判定部152に出力する。
姿勢崩れ判定部152は、ドライバの姿勢が姿勢崩れタイプのいずれかに該当する場合、姿勢崩れタイプ判定結果を、誤検出判定部154に出力する。
姿勢崩れ判定部152は、ドライバの姿勢が姿勢崩れタイプのいずれかに該当しない場合、姿勢崩れタイプ判定結果を、異常姿勢判定部155に出力する。
顔の変化度合い検出部153は、顔の変化度合い検出結果を、誤検出判定部154に出力する(ステップST9)。
誤検出判定部154は、誤検出判定結果を、異常姿勢判定部155に出力する(ステップST10)。
異常姿勢判定部155は、ドライバの顔向き及び頭位置の少なくとも一方が第3の範囲に該当する状態、変位量が第3の範囲に該当する状態、又はドライバの姿勢が姿勢崩れである状態の継続時間が異常姿勢判定用閾値に達しない場合(ステップST11の“NO”の場合)、ドライバは異常姿勢ではないと判定する。
この場合、乗員状態判定装置1は、基準姿勢推定部14を備えない構成とできる。ただし、基準姿勢推定部14が基準姿勢を推定するようにしたほうが、基準姿勢推定部14を備えない構成とするよりも、乗員状態判定装置1は、より個人にあわせた基準姿勢を設定できる。その結果、乗員状態判定装置1は、より精度よく、ドライバが異常姿勢であるか否かの判定を行うことができる。
これに限らず、画像取得部11と、顔検出部12と、特徴検出部13と、基準姿勢推定部14と、判定部15と、出力制御部16のうち、一部が車両の車載装置に搭載され、その他が当該車載装置とネットワークを介して接続されるサーバに備えられるものとして、車載装置とサーバとでシステムを構成するようにしてもよい。
また、画像取得部11と、顔検出部12と、特徴検出部13と、基準姿勢推定部14と、判定部15と、出力制御部16が全部サーバに備えられてもよい。
