S440, this determine that the process of the road area in image terminates using algorithm of region growing, can will work as previous existence Region long is used as the road area in image.
It should be strongly noted that the flow shown in Fig. 4 is to first carry out the left side and right side of current growth elements block Growth course, then, then performs the growth course of the upside of current growth elements block, so repeats and ultimately form growth Region;However, the present embodiment first can also constantly perform the growth course of the upside of current growth elements block, and in upside Growth course stop after, according still further to row putting in order or putting in order from top to bottom from top to bottom, for every a line The growth course on left side and right side is performed respectively, until the left side of all rows and the growth course on right side stop, it is determined that this Secondary utilization algorithm of region growing determines that the process of the road area in image terminates, such that it is able to using current growth district as figure Road area as in.The detailed process of the method is no longer described in detail herein.In addition, the leftmost side growth unit in the present embodiment The size of plain block, rightmost side growth elements block and top side growth elements block is possible to that the big of other growth elements blocks can be less than It is small.
As an example, for the image shown in Fig. 1, in the image that the present embodiment is determined using algorithm of region growing One example of road area is as shown in Figure 5.
The present embodiment determines the road area in image by using algorithm of region growing, either for structuring road Road, is also directed to unstructured road, and the present embodiment can fast and accurately obtain the road area in image, so that in fact Now determine that the bend curvature in structured road and unstructured road provides the foundation.
S310, the extraction edge pixel point from the border of the above-mentioned road area determined.
As an example, the present embodiment is after the road area in determining image, directly can be carried from the road area Take out road area border, a specific example, due to growth elements block be shaped as it is square, therefore, road area Border has generally comprised substantial amounts of right angle, and the present embodiment can be obtained by detecting the right angle being mutually linked in road area The border of road area, the white line in Fig. 6 is the border extracted from the road area shown in Fig. 5.
As an example, the present embodiment is behind the border for extracting road area from road area, in order to be further ensured that The accuracy on the border of road area, the present embodiment can be using edge detection algorithm (such as Canny edge detection algorithms) really Each zone boundary in the image made verifies come the border to above-mentioned road area.The present embodiment is calculated using rim detection Method can detect the border in all regions including the border including road area in image.The present embodiment is determining one Individual pixel is the pixel on zone boundary, be again road area borderline pixel in the case of, just understand will should Pixel is used as the edge pixel point in the border of road area;And if pixel is not the pixel on zone boundary Point, and be only the borderline pixel of road area, then the present embodiment can carry out filtration treatment to the pixel, i.e., from road By the pixel point deletion in the borderline pixel point set in region.
As an example, the zone boundary in the image determined using edge detection algorithm of the present embodiment is to road area The specific example that border is verified is:After setting is processed image using edge detection algorithm, if one Pixel belongs to some zone boundary in image, then the pixel value of the pixel is set to 1, and if a pixel The zone boundary in image is not belonging to, then the pixel value of the pixel is set to 0;Setting is using algorithm of region growing to image After being processed, if pixel belongs to the border of the road area in image, the pixel value of the pixel is set It is 1, and if pixel is not belonging to the border of road area, then the pixel value of the pixel is set to 0;Set above-mentioned Under fixed condition, the present embodiment edge detection algorithm can be processed after image in the treatment of pixel and algorithm of region growing after Image in pixel carry out and computing, so as to using with computing after pixel value be still 1 all pixels point as road area Border in edge pixel point, i.e., with computing after all pixels value still for 1 pixel formed road area border.Separately Outward, under above-mentioned imposing a condition, in order to reduce amount of calculation, the present embodiment can be from the image after algorithm of region growing treatment really The time inspection region on the border for including road area is made, the size in time inspection region can be by a lateral boundaries of road area All edge pixel points in top side edge pixel point, leftmost side edge pixel point, rightmost side edge pixel point and most under Lateral edges pixel is determined;The Hou Jian areas of road area left border and right side boundary are such as the square frame of left and right two in Fig. 7 Domain, so that the present embodiment is when carrying out with computing, can examine region just for the time in the image after edge detection algorithm treatment In the treatment of pixel and algorithm of region growing after image in time inspection region in pixel carry out and computing.The present embodiment Carry out with after computing, it will usually obtain the edge pixel point of discrete distribution, two in such as Fig. 7 wait in inspection regions it is discrete The white edge pixel point of distribution.
As an example, the present embodiment can be random from borderline all edge pixel points of the road area after verification Extract the edge pixel point for determining road edge curve.One specific example, is carried out according to pre-determined number (such as 15 times) (such as randomly selecting) repeatedly is chosen, so as to form multigroup edge pixel point;The present embodiment chooses the edge of predetermined quantity every time Include the edge pixel point of predetermined quantity in pixel, i.e., one group.Predetermined quantity in the present embodiment can be according to curvilinear mold Type sets to the demand of number of control points.
It is each in the image that the present embodiment is determined by using edge detection algorithm (such as Canny edge detection algorithms) Zone boundary is verified come the border to the road area determined based on algorithm of region growing, can make what is finally determined The border of road area is more accurate, such that it is able to avoid not having obvious lane line and road boundary due to unstructured road Do not have to determine the more difficult problem in the border of road area caused by obvious mark.
S320, curve model is supplied to using the marginal point of extraction as the control point of forming curves, and according to curve model The curve of output determines road edge curve.
As an example, the curve model in the present embodiment can be specially Cubic kolmogorov's differential system model.Certainly, this implementation Example can also use other curve models.In the case of using Cubic kolmogorov's differential system model, due to Cubic kolmogorov's differential system Model needs 4 control points, therefore, the present embodiment can every time randomly select 4 edge pixel points and be supplied to curve model.This Embodiment using Cubic kolmogorov's differential system model can be expressed as formula (2) in the form of:
In above-mentioned formula (2), P0、P1、P2、P34 control points of Cubic kolmogorov's differential system model are represented, t represents sampling Width, and the span of t is usually between 0-1, the value of such as t can be set as 0.01, P (t) and represent three Bezier songs The curve that line model is exported, the curve should be by P0And P3The two control points, not through P1And P2The two control points, As shown in Figure 8.
As an example, the present embodiment can generate a curve for each group of edge pixel point using curve model, The present embodiment should choose a curve as road edge curve from a plurality of curve, and a curve is being chosen from a plurality of curve When, length of a curve and flexibility are considered as, such as can determine curve using the flexibility of length of a curve and curve Characteristic value, so that an optimal curve can be selected by the eigenvalue of curve of relatively more all curves, such as by eigenvalue of curve Maximum curve is used as road edge curve.
The present embodiment, can be from numerous curves by determining road edge curve based on length of a curve and flexibility In accurately pick out the curve for more meeting road edge curvilinear characteristic, for unstructured road, can effectively improve The accuracy on the border of the road determined, so that the present embodiment can improve the accuracy of the final bend curvature determined.
As an example, the present embodiment chooses curve specific example from a plurality of curve being:
Step a, each bar curve for curve model output, be using what following formula (3) calculated each bar curve respectively Number:
K=l/d+ (θ+1)/2 formula (3)
In above-mentioned formula (3), k is the coefficient of curve, and l is P0And P3Line distance between the two control points, d is The catercorner length (waiting the description in inspection region such as above-mentioned embodiment) in the time inspection region where curve, as d can be in Fig. 7 The catercorner length of left/right square frame;θ for curve flexibility, and curve flexibility can by following formula (4) calculate obtain :
θ=(cos α+cos β)/2 formula (4)
In above-mentioned formula (4), α is by control point P0、P1The straight line of formation with by control point P1、P2The straight line of formation it Between angle, β is by control point P1、P2The straight line of formation with by control point P2、P3Angle between the straight line of formation is (such as Fig. 8 institutes Show).
Because the catercorner length for waiting inspection region can to a certain extent reflect road edge length of a curve, because This, the present embodiment is by using P0And P3Line distance between two control points examines the diagonal in region with the time where curve The ratio of length can to a certain extent reflect the relation between the length of a curve and road edge length of a curve, P0 And P3Line distance between two control points examines the catercorner length in region closer to the time where curve, then the spy of the curve Value indicative is bigger.
Step b, each curve for curve model output, calculate all pixels in the curve of extension width respectively The pixel value sum of point.The curve of the curve that the curve model in the present embodiment is exported usually single pixel point width, this reality The curve for applying the extension width in example refers to the curve with many pixel width.If the both sides of curve are referred to as into inner side If (such as the left side of the curve in Fig. 8) and outside (such as the right side of the curve in Fig. 8), then can be for each in curve Side extends N number of pixel to pixel respectively inwards, and extends M pixel laterally respectively, so that forming one extends M+N The curve of+1 pixel width a, specific example, the curve set in Fig. 8 is generated based on sampling width as 0.01 Curve, so that the curve is the curve formed by 100 pixels, the present embodiment can will be each in this 100 pixels Individual pixel extends 2 pixels to the left respectively, 2 pixels is extended to the right, so as to form 5 curves of pixel width. Extend each pixel in the curve of width and be respectively provided with pixel value, and the pixel value of pixel can represent the pixel Whether point is edge pixel point, if for example, a pixel is edge pixel point, its pixel value could be arranged to 255, and If a pixel is not edge pixel point, its pixel value could be arranged to 0;If again for example, a pixel is side Edge pixel, then its pixel value could be arranged to 1, and if a pixel is not edge pixel point, then its pixel value can be with It is set to 0.
It should be strongly noted that the specific value of the pixel value of each pixel in the present embodiment can be passed through What above-mentioned and computing was determined.Above-mentioned steps a and step b can be performed simultaneously, i.e. the present embodiment not conditioning step a and step b Execution sequence.
Because the peripheral image vegetarian refreshments of a pixel on curve falls within edge pixel point, then the pixel is roadside A possibility for pixel on edge curve can be larger, and if the peripheral image vegetarian refreshments of a pixel on curve does not belong to In edge pixel point, then the pixel is that a possibility for pixel on road edge curve can be smaller, therefore, one It is road to extend the pixel value sum of the point of all pixels on the curve of width and can to a certain extent represent virgin curve The possibility of boundary curve.

In a specific embodiment, the invention provides a kind of device for detecting the bend curvature in road.Should The structure of device as shown in figure 9, and the device in Fig. 9 mainly include:Region growing module 900, extraction edge pixel point module 910th, determine curve module 920 and determine curvature module 930.
Each module included by the control device of the present embodiment is described in detail respectively below.
Region growing module 900 is mainly used in determining the road area in image according to algorithm of region growing.
As an example, the camera real time shooting installed in the image typically vehicle that is used of region growing module 900 Image.For any image that camera is absorbed, region growing module 900 is using big with making a reservation in image Small growth elements block gradually forms road area, and the big I of growth elements block that region growing module 900 is used To set according to the actual requirements, such as computing resource is more powerful and the more concern bend curvature degrees of accuracy in the case of, can be with It is smaller that the size of the growth elements block that region growing module 900 is used is set, weaker and more in computing resource for another example In the case of many concern bend curvature measuring speed, the growth elements block that region growing module 900 can be used it is big Small setting it is larger.In a specific example, the growth elements block that region growing module 900 is used is 10 × 10 pictures The growth elements block of vegetarian refreshments size.
Under normal conditions, it is empty growth district that region growing module 900 can first set one, and is determined in the picture One initial growth element blocks;Then, be added to the initial growth element blocks in growth district by region growing module 900;It Afterwards, region growing module 900 carries out detection of the growth based on the growth district to surrounding, so that growth district gradually expands Greatly, finally, when determining that growth district stops growing, region growing module 900 is using dormant growth district as figure Road area as in.
As an example, because the central region of image generally falls into road area, therefore, region growing module 900 can be with Initial growth element blocks are arranged in the central region of the downside of image, such as region growing module 900 can be with image most Put on the basis of the intermediary image vegetarian refreshments of downside to the left, right side and upper side extend the pixel of respective numbers respectively so that shape Into an initial growth element blocks for 10 × 10 pixel sizes.
As an example, region growing module 900 is being provided with initial growth element blocks, and the initial growth element blocks are added Enter after growth district, region growing module 900 can respectively calculate the left growth elements block adjacent with current growth district The characteristic value of the characteristic value right growth elements block adjacent with current growth district and the upper growth with current growth district vector The characteristic value of element blocks, then, region growing module 900 judge the characteristic value of left growth elements block whether meet predetermined condition, Whether the characteristic value of right growth elements block meets predetermined condition and whether the characteristic value of upper growth elements block meets predetermined condition, And the growth elements block of predetermined condition will be met be added in current growth district, region growing module 900 repeats above-mentioned to make to work as The process of preceding growth region growing, left growth elements block, right growth elements block and upper the growth unit until current growth district When the characteristic value of plain block is unsatisfactory for predetermined condition, region growing module 900 determines that current growth district stops growing, region Pop-in upgrades 900 can be using current dormant growth district as the road area detected from image.
As an example, the characteristic value of growth elements block that region growing module 900 is calculated can be specially growth elements The gray value variance of block, certainly, the present embodiment is also not excluded for the characteristic value of the growth elements block that region growing module 900 is calculated It is the possibility of other forms.Specifically, region growing module 900 can calculate a growth elements using above-mentioned formula (1) The gray value variance of block, no longer carries out repeat specification for formula (1) herein.In addition, region growing module 900 is given birth to using region Algorithm long determines the description for Fig. 4 in a specific example such as above-mentioned embodiment of the road area in image, herein no longer Repeat specification.
As an example, for the image shown in Fig. 1, region growing module 900 is using being somebody's turn to do that algorithm of region growing is determined One example of the road area in image is as shown in Figure 5.
Extraction edge pixel point module 910 is mainly used in the border of the road area determined from region growing module 900 Middle extraction edge pixel point;And in one embodiment, the extraction edge pixel point module 910 can include:Rim detection Module, filtering pixel submodule and extracting sub-module;Rim detection submodule therein is mainly used in utilizing rim detection Algorithm determines each zone boundary in described image;Filtering pixel submodule therein is mainly used in a pixel difference During pixel borderline for pixel and road area on the zone boundary, using pixel as the side of road area Edge pixel point in boundary;Extracting sub-module is mainly used in the side that will be chosen from the edge pixel point in the border of road area Edge pixel is used as the edge pixel point for extracting.
As an example, extracting edge pixel 910 road area in region growing module 900 determines image of point module Afterwards, the border of road area, a specific example, due to growth elements block can be directly extracted from the road area Be shaped as it is square, therefore, the border of road area has generally comprised substantial amounts of right angle, and extracting edge pixel point module 910 can be with The border for obtaining road area by detecting the right angle being mutually linked in road area, the white line in Fig. 6 is extraction side The border that edge pixel point module 910 is extracted from the road area shown in Fig. 5.
As an example, extracting edge pixel point module 910 behind the border for extracting road area from road area, it is Be further ensured that the accuracy on the border of road area, extract edge pixel point module 910 (such as rim detection submodule and Filtering pixel submodule) can utilize the image that edge detection algorithm (such as Canny edge detection algorithms) be determined Each zone boundary verifies come the border to above-mentioned road area.Extract (such as rim detection submodule of edge pixel point module 910 Block) border in all regions including the border including road area in image can be detected using edge detection algorithm. It is the picture on zone boundary that edge pixel point module 910 (such as filtering pixel submodule) is extracted pixel is determined Vegetarian refreshments, be again road area borderline pixel in the case of, just can be using the pixel as in the border of road area Edge pixel point;And if pixel is not the pixel on zone boundary, and only it is the borderline of road area Pixel, then extracting edge pixel point module 910 (such as filtering pixel submodule) can carry out filtration treatment to the pixel, i.e., Extracting edge pixel point module 910 (such as filtering pixel submodule) should from the borderline pixel point set of road area Pixel point deletion.
As an example, the regional edge in extracting the image that edge pixel point module 910 is determined using edge detection algorithm The specific example that the border of bound pair road area is verified is:Setting rim detection submodule is calculated using rim detection After method is processed image, if a pixel belongs to some zone boundary in image, the pixel of the pixel Value is set as 1 by rim detection submodule, and if pixel is not belonging to the zone boundary in image, then the pixel Pixel value is set as 0 by rim detection submodule;Setting regions pop-in upgrades 900 using algorithm of region growing to image at After reason, if pixel belongs to the border of the road area in image, the pixel value of the pixel is by region growing mould Block 900 is set as 1, and if pixel is not belonging to the border of road area, then the pixel value of the pixel is given birth to by region Module long 900 is set as 0;Under above-mentioned imposing a condition, extracting edge pixel point module 910 (such as filtering pixel submodule) can The pixel in image after being processed with the pixel in the image after edge detection algorithm is processed and algorithm of region growing is clicked through Row and computing, thus filter pixel submodule using with computing after pixel value be still 1 all pixels point as road area Edge pixel point in border, i.e., with computing after all pixels value still for 1 pixel formed road area border.
In addition, under above-mentioned imposing a condition, in order to reduce amount of calculation, filtering pixel submodule can be calculated from region growing The time inspection region on the border for including road area is determined in image after method treatment, the size in time inspection region can be by road Top side edge pixel point, leftmost side edge pixel point, the rightmost side in all edge pixel points in one lateral boundaries in road region Edge pixel point and lower side edge pixel point are determined;As the square frame of left and right two in Fig. 7 is road area left border Time inspection region and right side boundary time inspection region, so as to filter pixel submodule when carrying out with computing, can be just for In pixel and the image after algorithm of region growing treatment in time inspection region in image after edge detection algorithm treatment The pixel waited in inspection region is carried out and computing.Filtering pixel submodule carry out with after computing, it will usually obtain discrete point The edge pixel point of cloth, two in such as Fig. 7 white edge pixel points for waiting the discrete distribution in inspection region.
As an example, extract edge pixel point module 910 (such as extracting sub-module) can be from filtering pixel submodule school (such as random extraction) is extracted in borderline all edge pixel points of the road area after testing for determining road edge curve Edge pixel point.One specific example, extracting sub-module is repeatedly randomly selected according to pre-determined number (such as 15 times), from And form multigroup edge pixel point;Extracting sub-module chooses the edge pixel point of predetermined quantity every time, i.e., include in one group The edge pixel point of predetermined quantity.The predetermined quantity that extracting sub-module is used can be according to curve model to number of control points Demand sets.
