specific example

[0182] Specific examples: such as Figure 8 , the image resolution is 768*576, take four points, the coordinates are (92,574), (230,437), (722,566), (572,432); set in the new coordinate system The coordinates are (304, 575), (304, 375), (464, 575), (464, 375). Use the cvWarpPerspectiveQMatrix function in openCV to find the inverse perspective projection transformation matrix. The input of the cvWarpPerspectiveQMatrix function is two matrices of 4X2. Each matrix is ​​composed of the horizontal and vertical coordinates of 4 points, which are the coordinates before and after transformation. The obtained inverse perspective projection transformation matrix is:

Abstract

The invention discloses a method based on monocular vision for detecting and roughly positioning the edge of a road, and relates to the field of machine vision and intelligent control. Aiming at a continuous road with different edge characteristics, two road edge detection methods are supplied and suitable for semistructured and nonstructured roads and can be applied to vision navigation and intelligent control over a robot. The invention provides a method for detecting the edge of the road based on colors and a method for detecting the edge of the road based on threshold value partitioning. On the basis of the obtained edge of the road, an image is subjected to inverted perspective projection transformation, so that a front view is transformed into a top view; and according to a linear corresponding relation between a pixel and an actual distance in the image, a perpendicular distance from the current position of the robot to the edge of the road and a course angle of the robot can be calculated. The method is easy to implement, high in anti-interference performance, high in instantaneity and suitable for the semistructured and nonstructured roads.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer vision, pattern recognition, mobile robot navigation technology and method. technical background [0002] An intelligent mobile robot is a complex system that includes multiple modules such as environmental perception, control decision-making, and path planning, and applies computer technology, information technology, robotics technology, and microelectronics technology. It generally integrates a variety of sensor technologies, including GPS, lidar, camera, ultrasonic, gyroscope, etc., and processes and fuses the perceived data to obtain robot positioning information and obstacle information ahead for walking planning and decision-making. Mobile robots are now widely used in military, medical, agricultural, industrial and other fields. Especially when encountering extreme environments and dangerous conditions, such as nuclear pollution, high pressure, deep sea, and even outer space, mobile robots can effe...
