Obtained in face of user 20 based on the depth image does not have the region of barrier in scene, you can traffic areas, root According to this can traffic areas determine the direction of travel of user 20.Specifically, in some embodiments of the blind-guiding method, the base In the depth image determine can traffic areas, including:
Confirm and whether there is one or more snippets continuous pixel in the depth image, in the continuous pixel The depth of each pixel is more than or equal to predetermined depth threshold values, and the corresponding physical width of the continuous pixel is more than Or it is equal to preset secured physical width threshold values, and if there is the continuous pixel, then the continuous pixel pair The region answered is can traffic areas.
Preset predetermined depth threshold value T1 (corresponding obstacle distance threshold value) and secured physical width threshold value W (corresponding people Safe harbor width), one-row pixels point can be selected from depth image, and using the row pixel as input, in the row One section of continuous pixel is searched in pixel, if the depth value of each pixel is all higher than T1, while the image in this section The width of the corresponding physical space of section is more than or equal to W, then it is assumed that this section of image corresponds to one can traffic areas.I.e. if with The distance of domain of the existence in face of family 20, the barrier in the region is all remote enough, and the width in the region is sufficiently wide, then the region It may be considered transitable region.It whether there is above-mentioned continuous pixel in the depth image specifically, confirming, packet It includes:
1021:One-row pixels point is selected from the depth image.
In actual use, above-mentioned one-row pixels point is usually selected from the lower part of depth image, because this part is closer Face, the range information of the barrier measured can accurately more reflect the actual conditions of barrier.
1022:The one-row pixels point is scanned for, is therefrom selected a little as first end point, according to the first end The pixel coordinate and depth value of point obtain the corresponding three dimensional physical coordinate of the first end point, obtain and the three dimensional physical coordinate There is only the physical coordinates points that horizontal distance and horizontal distance are the Safe width threshold values, and the physical coordinates point is converted into Corresponding pixel on the depth image, and using the pixel as the second endpoint.
To the one-row pixels point, can be scanned for from one of row pixel endpoint to another direction (such as from the left side to the right search for or from the right to the left side search for), can also from midpoint respectively to the direction of two endpoints into Row search.
For in the way of being searched for the right from the left side, using the endpoint of left end as first end point, it is assumed that the pixel of the point Coordinate be p0 (u, v), depth value depth, can according to the internal reference matrix of the pixel coordinate and depth value and depth camera To obtain three dimensional physical coordinate (X, Y, Z) of this under depth camera coordinate system.It can be obtained according to Safe width threshold values W Another boundary point (X+W, Y, Z) of safety zone (can traffic areas), which is mapped on depth image, is obtained Second endpoint p1 (u+delt, v).
1023:If the pixel depth between the first end point and second endpoint is all higher than the predetermined depth Threshold values, then the corresponding region of pixel fragment that the first end point and second endpoint determine be can traffic areas, otherwise, from institute State between first end point and second endpoint first depth be less than the predetermined depth threshold value pixel start to continue into Row search.
Whether the point-by-point corresponding depth of pixel judged between p0 and p1 is more than predetermined depth threshold value T1, if so, recognizing Between p0-p1 for can traffic areas otherwise abandon the region, and from the pixel for being unsatisfactory for predetermined depth threshold condition Subsequent point continues to execute step 1022, until the row pixel search finishes.
Specifically, according to it is described can traffic areas determine candidate current direction, including:
If it is described can traffic areas be one, it is determined that it is described can the corresponding direction in traffic areas be candidate passage side To;
If it is described can traffic areas be at least two, it is determined that steering angle it is minimum can the corresponding direction in traffic areas be The candidate current direction.
I.e. if it is determined that can traffic areas be one, then using the corresponding direction in the region as candidate passage direction, such as Fruit determine can traffic areas be multiple, then from all corresponding directions in region that can choose steering angle minimum in traffic areas As the current direction of candidate.
103:Prompt the candidate current direction.
104:The distance that barrier on the candidate current direction is measured by distance measuring sensor, if the distance is more than Pre-determined distance threshold values, then the candidate current direction is the direction that can pass through.
