Description

車輛盲點影像顯示方法、裝置及系統Vehicle blind spot image display method, device and system

本發明是有關於一種影像處理方法及裝置,且特別是有關於一種車輛盲點影像顯示方法、裝置及系統。 The present invention relates to an image processing method and device, and more particularly, to a vehicle blind spot image display method, device and system.

車輛駕駛因視線受到後照鏡及車輛柱體的遮蔽,無法看到完整的車外景像。此被遮蔽的視野即為駕駛的盲點或死角,駕駛在車輛行進的過程中常會因為看不到盲點或死角內出現的人或車輛而發生事故。 The driver of the vehicle cannot see the complete scene outside the vehicle because the line of sight is blocked by the rear mirror and the column of the vehicle. This obscured field of vision is the blind spot or blind spot of driving. When the vehicle is moving, accidents often occur because people or vehicles in the blind spot or blind spot cannot be seen.

舉例來說,由圖1A所繪示的公車駕駛的左前方視野可知,部分的車外景像會被左側A柱(A-pillar)12及後照鏡14遮蔽。而由圖1B所繪示的公車駕駛的盲點區域可知,駕駛所看到的公車10外景像會分別被左側A柱12及後照鏡14所遮蔽,其中由於盲點區域涵蓋了部分的班馬線,駕駛可能會因為看不到盲點區域內的行人而發生事故。 For example, from the left front view of the bus driver shown in FIG. 1A , part of the outside scene of the vehicle is blocked by the left A-pillar 12 and the rear mirror 14 . It can be seen from the blind spot area of bus driving shown in FIG. 1B , the outside scene of the bus 10 seen by the driver will be shielded by the left A-pillar 12 and the rear mirror 14 respectively. The blind spot area covers part of the Banma line. , driving may be involved in an accident because you cannot see pedestrians in the blind spot area.

為了解決上述視野盲點的問題,車輛製造商提出了許多解決方案,例如利用車側感應技術製作盲點提示裝置,利用相機擷 取車側影像並投射在螢幕上,或是更改柱體設計以透過光學折射將車外影像投射在柱體上,甚至在柱體上開孔以使駕駛能透視車外。 In order to solve the above problem of blind spots in the field of view, vehicle manufacturers have proposed many solutions, such as making use of side sensing technology to make blind spot warning devices, using camera Take the side image of the car and project it on the screen, or change the design of the column to project the outside image on the column through optical refraction, or even make a hole in the column to allow the driver to see through the outside of the car.

然而,更改柱體設計可能會弱化柱體強度而影響安全性,而直接投射車側影像則會因為駕駛坐姿或視角的改變而無法正確而自然地呈現出對應當下視野死角的影像。 However, changing the column design may weaken the strength of the column and affect the safety, while the direct projection of the side image of the vehicle will not be able to correctly and naturally present the image corresponding to the blind spot of the current field of view due to changes in the driving posture or viewing angle.

圖4是依照本發明一實施例所繪示的車輛盲點影像顯示方法的流程圖。請同時參照圖2及圖4,本實施例的方法適用於上述車輛盲點影像顯示裝置100,以下即搭配車輛盲點影像顯示裝置100的各項元件說明本實施例的車輛盲點影像顯示方法的詳細步驟。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a method for displaying a blind spot image of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 at the same time. The method of this embodiment is applicable to the above-mentioned vehicle blind spot image display device 100 . The following describes the detailed steps of the vehicle blind spot image display method of this embodiment in combination with various elements of the vehicle blind spot image display device 100 . .

在步驟S402中,由處理器130利用外部相機(例如C1及C2)擷取車輛柱體外側的外部影像。其中,外部相機例如是採用視野範圍(FOV)較廣的廣角相機或魚眼相機,而可用以擷取可涵括駕駛在駕駛座上時所有可能的視野死角的外部影像。 In step S402, the processor 130 uses external cameras (eg, C1 and C2) to capture external images of the outside of the vehicle column. The external camera is, for example, a wide-angle camera or a fisheye camera with a wide field of view (FOV), which can be used to capture external images that can cover all possible blind spots of the field of view when driving on the driver's seat.

在步驟S404中,由處理器130利用內部相機(例如C3)擷取包含駕駛的內部影像,並辨識內部影像中駕駛的人臉及其位移。在一實施例中,在車輛盲點影像顯示裝置100初次使用(例如駕駛剛取得車輛)或初始使用(例如駕駛剛發動車輛)時可以進行 初始設定,處理器130例如會預先利用內部相機擷取駕駛坐於駕駛座的初始影像,利用深度學習法偵測初始影像中駕駛的人臉特徵,並記錄人臉位置。本技術領域人員可以知道現有的多種人臉辨識深度學習演算法,在此不贅述。在進行初始設定時,駕駛可以手動調整(例如,但不限於,通過操作車輛盲點影像顯示裝置100的使用者介面或遙控器等)各外部相機所擷取的各外部影像中對應顯示於各顯示器上的各關注區域(region of interest,ROI)的視角或縮放比例(scale factor)以符合其需求,而車輛盲點影像顯示裝置100便可記錄對應於該人臉位置的各關注區域的初始設定。在後續實際行車的過程中,處理器130可持續針對內部影像的多個圖幀(frame),利用深度學習法來辨識內部影像多個圖幀中的人臉。 In step S404, the processor 130 uses an internal camera (eg, C3) to capture an internal image including the driver, and recognizes the driver's face and its displacement in the internal image. In one embodiment, the blind spot image display device 100 may be used for the first time (for example, when the vehicle is just acquired by driving) or when the device is initially used (for example, when the vehicle is just started when driving). In the initial setting, the processor 130, for example, uses an internal camera to capture an initial image of the driver sitting in the driver's seat in advance, uses a deep learning method to detect the facial features of the driver in the initial image, and records the face position. Those skilled in the art may know a variety of existing deep learning algorithms for face recognition, which will not be described here. During the initial setting, the driver can manually adjust (for example, but not limited to, by operating the user interface or the remote control of the vehicle blind spot image display device 100 ) the external images captured by the external cameras are correspondingly displayed on the monitors. The viewing angle or scale factor of each region of interest (ROI) on the vehicle is adjusted to meet its requirements, and the vehicle blind spot image display device 100 can record the initial setting of each ROI corresponding to the face position. In the subsequent actual driving process, the processor 130 may continue to use the deep learning method to identify the faces in the multiple frames of the internal image for multiple frames of the internal image.

在一些實施例中,例如公車,內部影像中可能會同時出現多個人臉(例如司機與公車乘客),處理器130可能會辨識出內部影像中的多個人臉。此時,處理器130可以判定內部影像中與前一個圖幀中辨識出的駕駛人臉距離最近的人臉為本圖幀的駕駛人臉。藉此,即便內部影像中同時出現多個人臉(例如乘客),處理器130仍然能夠準確地辨識出駕駛,從而正確地執行本發明實施例的車輛盲點影像顯示方法。 In some embodiments, such as a bus, multiple human faces (eg, a driver and a bus passenger) may appear in the internal image at the same time, and the processor 130 may recognize multiple human faces in the internal image. At this time, the processor 130 may determine that the face in the internal image that is closest to the driver's face identified in the previous frame is the driver's face in this frame. In this way, even if multiple faces (eg, passengers) appear in the interior image at the same time, the processor 130 can still accurately identify the driving, so as to correctly execute the vehicle blind spot image display method according to the embodiment of the present invention.

需說明的是,為解決夜間行車燈光不足所造成的影像品質及辨識度不佳的問題,在一實施例中,內部相機可採用具有主動式光源(例如紅外線補光燈)的相機,以增加夜間的攝像品質。在其他實施例中,處理器130可能無法在內部影像每個圖幀中都通 過人臉辨識深度學習演算法辨識出人臉(例如當光源不足時),此時車輛盲點影像顯示裝置100的處理器130可利用深度學習法搭配人臉區域特徵點持續辨識內部影像中各圖幀的人臉,只要在其中幾個圖幀中有辨識出人臉,處理器130可根據該圖幀中人臉的位置,鎖定相鄰後續圖幀的影像中位於該位置周圍的區域,繼續辨識後續圖幀中與該人臉區域具有相同特徵點的物件區域來作為該後續圖幀的人臉;藉由上述人臉辨識及動態預測(motion estimation)技術的結合,即可在低光源的情況下持續追蹤人臉。 It should be noted that, in order to solve the problem of poor image quality and recognition caused by insufficient driving lights at night, in one embodiment, the internal camera may use a camera with an active light source (such as an infrared fill light) to increase the Night camera quality. In other embodiments, the processor 130 may not be able to communicate with each frame of the internal image The face is recognized by the deep learning algorithm of face recognition (for example, when the light source is insufficient), at this time, the processor 130 of the vehicle blind spot image display device 100 can use the deep learning method with the feature points of the face region to continuously identify each image in the internal image If a face is identified in several of the frames, the processor 130 can lock the area around the position in the image of the adjacent subsequent frames according to the position of the face in the frame, and continue Identify the object area with the same feature points as the face area in the subsequent image frame as the face of the subsequent image frame; through the combination of the above face recognition and motion estimation technology, the low light source can be used. Continue to track faces.

在步驟S406中,處理器130根據所辨識的位移對應調整外部影像中關注區域(region of interest,ROI)的位置,以在對應的顯示器上顯示關注區域的影像。其中,本發明實施例例如是在外部相機所擷取的外部影像中定義出一個駕駛當前視野被遮蔽的區域作為關注區域,並根據駕駛頭部位移量與此關注區域的移動量之間的變化關係,推算當前駕駛人臉位移時關注區域的移動量,使得最終擷取的關注區域影像能夠符合或涵蓋駕駛當前視野的盲點區域。在一些實施例中,在行車過程中,可以每隔一個或多個圖幀反覆進行圖4的流程以即時地在顯示器上顯示關注區域的影像。 In step S406, the processor 130 correspondingly adjusts the position of the region of interest (ROI) in the external image according to the identified displacement, so as to display the image of the region of interest on the corresponding display. In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, an area in which the driver's current field of view is blocked is defined as the area of interest in the external image captured by the external camera, and the change between the displacement of the driver's head and the movement of the area of interest is determined. Calculating the movement amount of the area of interest when the current driver's face is displaced, so that the final captured area of interest image can conform to or cover the blind spot area of the driver's current field of view. In some embodiments, during driving, the process of FIG. 4 may be repeatedly performed every one or more frames to display the image of the region of interest on the display in real time.

詳言之,處理器130例如是利用所辨識的位移計算人臉的位移量(例如以內部影像的畫素為單位),從而根據人臉的位移量與關注區域的移動量(例如以外部影像的畫素為單位)之間的變化關係,計算出人臉的移動量所對應的關注區域的移動量,最後則將關注區域朝人臉的位移的相反方向移動所計算的移動量,而決 定關注區域的最終位置。 In detail, the processor 130 uses the recognized displacement to calculate the displacement of the human face (for example, in units of pixels of the internal image), so that the displacement of the human face and the movement of the region of interest (for example, in the external image) are calculated according to the displacement of the human face. The change relationship between the pixels is the unit), calculate the movement of the area of interest corresponding to the movement of the face, and finally move the area of interest in the opposite direction of the displacement of the face by the calculated movement. determine the final location of the area of interest.

舉例來說,在初始設定中,利用深度學習演算法辨識人臉可獲得可涵括人臉輪廓的人臉方框的座標(例如以內部影像的畫素為單位),包括人臉方框的左上角頂點座標及右下角頂點座標,透過這兩個座標可計算出人臉方框的中心點座標,用以作為臉部中心參考點FC的座標(FC x ,FC y )。而在駕駛行車時,利用深度學習演算法持續辨識各圖幀的人臉,而可獲得位移後的臉部中心參考點FC’的座標(

Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0012-2
,
Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0012-3
)。在其他實施例中,辨識出來的涵括人臉輪廓的外框可以是其他形狀,而臉部中心參考點的座標可以是根據其他方式決定(例如外框形狀的質心)。 For example, in the initial setting, using the deep learning algorithm to recognize the face can obtain the coordinates of the face frame that can include the outline of the face (for example, in units of pixels of the internal image), including the face frame. The upper left corner vertex coordinate and the lower right corner vertex coordinate, through these two coordinates, the center point coordinate of the face frame can be calculated, which is used as the coordinate of the face center reference point FC ( FC x , FC y ). When driving, the deep learning algorithm is used to continuously identify the face of each image frame, and the coordinates of the displaced face center reference point FC' can be obtained (
Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0012-2
,
Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0012-3
). In other embodiments, the identified outer frame including the outline of the human face may be in other shapes, and the coordinates of the face center reference point may be determined according to other methods (eg, the center of mass of the outer frame shape).

基於行車過程中視野遮蔽區域的改變主要受到水平方向(即x軸方向)的頭部/臉部變化量的影響,在一實施例中,僅取各圖幀的水平方向上的頭部/臉部移動量(

Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0012-5
-FC x )來推算各圖幀的關注區域(ROI)相對於初始設定的關注區域的移動量,包括顯示於右側A柱顯示器的右側ROI移動量S R 及顯示於左側A柱顯示器的左側ROI移動量S L ,其計算公式如下:
Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0012-1
Based on the change of the field of view occlusion area during driving is mainly affected by the head/face change in the horizontal direction (ie, the x-axis direction), in one embodiment, only the head/face in the horizontal direction of each picture frame is taken. part movement (
Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0012-5
- FC x ) to estimate the movement amount of the region of interest (ROI) of each frame relative to the initial set region of interest, including the right ROI movement amount SR displayed on the right A-pillar monitor and the left ROI displayed on the left A-pillar monitor The movement amount SL is calculated as follows:
Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0012-1

其中,n為比例係數、a為左側A柱的ROI位移係數、b為右側A柱的ROI位移係數。在一實施例中,n為0.0005、a為1.5、b為1,上述係數的數值可根據不同情況來調整,在此不設限。在一實施例中,當A柱上的顯示器較靠近駕駛時,其所對應的ROI 位移係數較大(例如離駕駛較近的左側A柱的ROI位移係數會大於離駕較遠的右側A柱的ROI位移係數),即回應於駕駛頭部/臉部位移的ROI移動量較大。雖然上述計算行車時關注區域的移動量是根據各圖幀的臉部中心參考點相對於初始設定的臉部中心參考點的位移進行計算,但在另一實施例中,也可以是根據各圖幀的臉部中心參考點相對於其前一圖幀的臉部中心參考點的位移來計算各圖幀對應的關注區域相對於其前一圖幀對應的關注區域的移動量。在又一實施例中,比例係數n、左側A柱的ROI位移係數a、右側A柱的ROI位移係數b可以與上述初始設定中各顯示器上設定的縮放比例成正比。在又一實施例中,可以設定一臉部位移閥值,當|(

Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0013-4
-FCx)|大於該臉部位移閥值時才對應調整外部影像中關注區域的位置,否則就不調整關注區域的位置,以節省運算資源。 Among them, n is the scale coefficient, a is the ROI displacement coefficient of the left A-pillar, and b is the ROI displacement coefficient of the right A-pillar. In one embodiment, n is 0.0005, a is 1.5, and b is 1. The values of the above coefficients can be adjusted according to different situations, which are not limited herein. In one embodiment, when the display on the A-pillar is closer to the driver, its corresponding ROI displacement coefficient is larger (for example, the ROI displacement coefficient of the left A-pillar closer to the driver is larger than the right A-pillar farther away from the driver). ROI displacement coefficient), i.e. the amount of ROI movement in response to the displacement of the driving head/face is larger. Although the above-mentioned calculation of the movement amount of the region of interest during driving is performed according to the displacement of the face center reference point of each picture frame relative to the initially set face center reference point, in another embodiment, it can also be calculated according to each picture frame. The displacement of the face center reference point of the frame relative to the face center reference point of the previous image frame is used to calculate the movement amount of the region of interest corresponding to each image frame relative to the region of interest corresponding to the previous image frame. In yet another embodiment, the scale coefficient n , the ROI displacement coefficient a of the left A-pillar, and the ROI displacement coefficient b of the right A-pillar may be proportional to the scaling ratio set on each display in the above-mentioned initial setting. In yet another embodiment, a face displacement threshold can be set, when |(
Figure 109100990-A0305-02-0013-4
When -FC x )| is greater than the face displacement threshold, the position of the region of interest in the external image is adjusted accordingly, otherwise the position of the region of interest will not be adjusted to save computing resources.

需說明的是,上述實施例是基於駕駛在行車過程中較少會在垂直方向上移動頭部/臉部,所以並未將垂直位移納入考量來計算ROI移動量。然而,在其他實施例中,垂直方向的頭部/臉部變化量亦可用以計算ROI移動量,並調整ROI區域的垂直位置,在此不設限。 It should be noted that the above embodiment is based on the fact that the driver seldom moves the head/face in the vertical direction during driving, so the vertical displacement is not taken into consideration to calculate the ROI movement amount. However, in other embodiments, the change amount of the head/face in the vertical direction can also be used to calculate the movement amount of the ROI and adjust the vertical position of the ROI area, which is not limited herein.
