Problems solved by technology

However, only contour symmetry, grayscale symmetry, horizontal edge symmetry, and vertical edge symmetry are used, and horizontal edge symmetry and vertical edge symmetry are only one type of contour symmetry in principle. Therefore, backgrounds, lighting conditions, and vehicles cannot be avoided. The effect of incomplete images
[0007] In addition, when calculating the axis of symmetry in the prior art, the image area involved in the calculation of the axis of symmetry is the entire ROI
Therefore, there are the following problems: the amount of calculation is large, and it is easily affected by some backgrounds, which makes the calculation of the symmetry axis inaccurate
However, due to the position of the sun (or other light sources), the height of the camera installation, and the slope of the road, sometimes the shadow of the vehicle bottom cannot be detected on the image, such as light leakage and backlighting at the bottom of the vehicle. At this time, the lower edge of the vehicle cannot be determined.

Abstract

A vehicle positioning method based on vehicle character includes calculating one or multiple symmetric axis of vehicle at height direction, calculating one pair or multiple pair of left-right edges of vehicle, utilizing projection to calculate top-bottom edges vehicle, utilizing grey scale to calculate bottom edge of vehicle, utilizing color to calculate top edge of vehicle and utilizing various confirmed edges integrally to confirm position of vehicle in image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle positioning method and device for determining the position of a vehicle in a machine vision-based vehicle recognition system, and in particular to accurately determining the position of a vehicle in an ROI based on vehicle features extracted from an image region that may contain potential vehicles, that is, the ROI Vehicle positioning method and device. Background technique [0002] In the vehicle recognition system based on machine vision, the original image captured by the camera installed on the own vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the own vehicle) or other moving / fixed objects is subjected to segmentation and other processing, which may contain potential The image area of ​​the vehicle is the so-called ROI (Region Of Interest). Accurately locating the position of the vehicle in the ROI helps to improve the vehicle recognition rate of the system. In particular, accurately locating the position of the l...
