Embodiment
Among the present invention, can utilize image processing techniques, realize automatic control traffic lights.Reached in the working time of the current traffic direction of traffic lights indication before the longest run time of default current traffic direction, gather the image at crossing,, determine the direction of motion of object on the crossing according to the image of being gathered; According to the direction of motion of described object, when determining not have object on the current traffic direction, the indication of control traffic lights changes next traffic direction over to; Otherwise when reached described longest run time the working time of current traffic direction, the indication of control traffic lights changed next traffic direction over to.Promptly analyze the current traffic information at crossing according to the image information of being gathered, according to the current traffic information at crossing, the traffic lights indication at control crossing.
Wherein, according to the image of being gathered, the method for determining the direction of motion of object on the crossing can have multiple, can be the image that will gather and default background model compares, extract foreground object, the direction of motion of object is determined in the variation in the frame of front and back according to foreground object; Also can be that the image that will gather carries out interframe work difference etc., the variation of interframe foreground object before and after obtaining, thereby the direction of motion of definite object; In addition, other implementation can also be arranged, enumerate no longer one by one herein.
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.
In the present embodiment, be example with the image that will gather and the situation that the background model of presetting compares.At first be set a longest run time for each traffic direction, this longest run time is in the time of can being available technology adopting timing controlled mode, be the fixing instruction time of each traffic direction traffic lights setting, in addition, set guarded region, this guarded region should be able to comprise the moving region scope that the object of each traffic direction of crossing is possible.
Afterwards, on each traffic direction, write down the working time on this traffic direction, and carry out method flow shown in Figure 1, Fig. 1 is the exemplary process diagram of the autocontrol method of traffic lights in the embodiment of the invention.As shown in Figure 1, this flow process comprises the steps:
Step 101 is gathered the present image at crossing, according to the background model at the crossing of having set up, extracts the current foreground object at crossing from described present image.
In this step, can utilize the first-class image capture device of single camera or a plurality of shooting to gather the present image at crossing, present image and the background model of having set up are compared, extract the current foreground object at crossing, i.e. the object that moves on the crossing.
Wherein, the foundation of background model and the extraction of foreground object can be adopted prior art, and have a variety of methods selective in the prior art, for example, can select to comprise Density Estimator, and mixed Gauss model and simple background are made difference and carried out in interior all multimodes.
Further, consider that the variation of surrounding environment to the influence of background model (for example, in difference constantly, shine upon skyscraper and be mapped in the shade difference at crossing), background model can be brought in constant renewal in according to the environmental change at crossing, and wherein, update method also can adopt prior art.
Step 102, if present image is not the preceding N of current traffic direction, the image in N 〉=1 frame, then the foreground object with described current foreground object and N continuous frame extraction before carries out tracking and matching, if match same object, then determine the direction of motion of this object according to the change in location of same object.
Direction of motion for judgment object, usually need at least two frame consecutive images, and in order to obtain the corresponding relation of foreground object in the different frame, need to adopt the mode of object matches that foreground object is carried out tracking and matching, wherein, matching way can adopt the mode based on the minimum distance coupling also can adopt the mode of histogram coupling to carry out.
If do not match same object, then can return execution in step 101; Perhaps, but execution in step 103; Perhaps, the number of times that does not match continuously same object is counted, if default continuously M, M 〉=1 time does not match same object, and then execution in step 103, otherwise, can return execution in step 101.
If match same object, then can determine the direction of motion of this object according to the change in location of same object.During specific implementation, several different methods can be arranged.Wherein a kind of can be as follows:
With crossing shown in Figure 2 is example, and a direction at predeterminable crossing is a horizontal ordinate x axle, and vertically another direction of this direction is an ordinate y axle, and the positive dirction of true origin and x axle and y axle is set, and obtains the image coordinate axle at crossing shown in Figure 3.
Based on described image coordinate axle, determine the position (x of same object in two frames of front and back n, y n) and (x N+1, y N+1), and calculate the displacement (x of described object at the x axle N+1-x n) and at the displacement (y of y axle N+1-y n).
According to described displacement (x N+1-x n) and (y N+1-y n), determine the direction of motion of object.
Wherein, according to displacement (x N+1-x n) and (y N+1-y n), when determining the direction of motion of object, several different methods can be arranged, as can be according to (x N+1-x n) and (y N+1-y n), calculate the angle between movement direction of object and x axle or the y axle, according to the angle of being calculated, determine the direction of motion of object; Perhaps, also can preset axial threshold value Tx of x and the axial threshold value Ty of y, according to (x N+1-x n), (y N+1-y n), Tx and Ty, determine the direction of motion of object.
For example, to 4 kinds of traffic directions shown in Fig. 4 (d), be traffic direction 1, direction 2, direction 3 and direction 4 for Fig. 4 (a) as if number consecutively.
Then work as | (x N+1-x n) |>Tx, | (y N+1-y n) | during<Ty, the direction of motion of determining this object is direction 1, promptly is parallel to the direction of x axle.
When | (x N+1-x n) |>Tx, | (y N+1-y n) |>Ty, and (x N+1-x n) (y N+1-y n)>0 o'clock, the direction of motion of determining this object is direction 2, promptly is the direction of 45 ° or-135 ° with x axle positive dirction.
When | (x N+1-x n) |<Tx, | (y N+1-y n) | during>Ty, the direction of motion of determining this object is direction 3, promptly is parallel to the direction of y axle.
When | (x N+1-x n) |>Tx, | (y N+1-y n) |>Ty, and (x N+1-x n) (y N+1-y n)<0 o'clock, the direction of motion of determining this object is direction 4, promptly is the direction of 135 ° or-45 ° with x axle positive dirction.
Step 103 judges whether described direction of motion is consistent with current traffic direction, if consistent, then returns execution in step 101; Otherwise, execution in step 104.
In this step, when the direction of motion of object and current traffic direction were compared, if the two unanimity, can think still had object in operation on the current traffic direction, otherwise can think does not have object in operation on the current traffic direction.
Step 104, the indication of control traffic lights changes next traffic direction over to.
Because the sequencing of traffic direction preestablishes, therefore the indication of may command traffic lights changes default next traffic direction over to, and when the indication of control traffic lights changes next traffic direction over to, at first need through continuing the amber light state of Preset Time.For example, to 4 directions shown in Fig. 4 (d), the circular order of predeterminable traffic direction is direction 1 → direction 2 → direction 3 → direction 4 → direction 1 for Fig. 4 (a).
In the present embodiment, before the step 104 in carrying out flow process shown in Figure 1, if the longest run time that reaches this traffic direction working time on the current traffic direction, think that then arrive the working time of current traffic direction, enter step 104, the indication of control traffic lights changes next traffic direction over to.
In addition, for step 101 shown in Figure 1, also can be according to the periodic present image of gathering the crossing of the default time interval, then can need not when not matching same object, to return execution in step 101 in the step 102, when the direction of motion of object and current traffic direction are inconsistent, also need not to return execution in step 101 in the step 103.In addition, the acquisition method in the step 101 shown in Figure 1 also can have other acquisition method, is not limited to two kinds of foregoing description.
Preferably, may further be each traffic direction be set a working time the shortest, then carry out before the flow process shown in Figure 1, whether reach the shortest working time of default current traffic direction the working time of judging current traffic direction, if reach, then carry out flow process shown in Figure 1.
Below a kind of mode more excellent in the matching way of mentioning in the step 102 shown in Figure 1 is described in detail.
Adopt the mode of histogram coupling, can preestablish tracking queue, and tracking queue be initially sky; Afterwards, for each frame of handling, after extraction obtains foreground object, to current all foreground objects that obtain, employing is based on the mode of histogram coupling, find the maximum match degree of all objects in itself and the tracking queue, and when maximum match degree during, think coupling greater than preset threshold value TP, come from same object, adopt the object in the current foreground object renewal tracking queue, otherwise, it added to tracking queue as new candidate's object item; If tracking queue is empty, then the object that foreground extraction is obtained adds in the tracking queue.
Further, also can adopt the matching process of position-based and yardstick combination, when promptly foreground object being mated, adopt positional information and the size information auxiliary histogram of two objects in video to mate; Suppose that the object frame is respectively R in current foreground object frame and the tracking queue 1(cx1, cy1, w1, h1) and R 2(cx2, cy2, w2, h2), and cx1 wherein, cx2 is respectively the center horizontal ordinate of two rectangle frames, and cy1, cy2 are respectively the central longitudinal coordinate of two rectangle frames, and w1, w2 are respectively the width of two rectangle frames, and h1, h2 are respectively the height of two rectangle frames; The centre distance of two rectangle frames is dis=sqrt ((cx1-cx2) 2+ (cy1-cy2) 2), the position yardstick matching degree that then defines two rectangle frames is exp ( - dis 2 ( w 1 + w 2 ) 2 * DR ) * exp ( - ( min ( w 1 , w 2 ) max ( w 1 , w 2 ) - 1 ) 2 * SR ) , Sqrt is open computing, and min is for getting the small value computing, and max is for getting big value computing, and DR and SR are default constant.
Further, the method that the method that method and the position-based yardstick based on the histogram coupling can also be mated combines, the matching degree that promptly final foreground object extracts object in result and the tracking queue multiply by rectangle position yardstick matching degree for the histogram matching degree.
For the object in the tracking queue,, can write down the occurrence number of this object in order to identify object (candidate's object) or the real object that disturbs, be assumed to n, if setting threshold TN then is n>TN, think that then this object is a real-world object, otherwise be candidate's object.Further, also can write down the frame number that object do not trace into is nm, to real-world object, if nm, thinks then that object disappears greater than preset threshold value TMN, deletes from formation; To candidate's object, if nm, thinks then that object disappears, and deletes from formation greater than preset threshold value TMPN.The final real-world object that only will occur carries out keeping records as effective object, is used for analyzing and inquiry.
