    摘要: An object recognition system including a radar, an image sensor and a controller is provided. The radar determines the position of an object, and the image sensor captures an image of the object. The controller sets a processing area within the image captured by the image sensor based on the position of the object determined by the radar and a predetermined size for the object to be recognized. The controller extracts horizontal and vertical edges from the processing area, and preferably judges whether each of the extracted edges belongs to the object based on characteristics of the object to be recognized. The controller then recognizes the outline of the object based on the edges judged to belong to the object. The object can be recognized by determining upper, lower, left and right ends of the object. On the other hand, the controller recognizes lane lines defining the lane in which the vehicle mounting the system of the invention is running. Thus, the relative position of the object to the lane lines is determined by comparing the intersections between a horizontal line corresponding to the lower end of the object and the lane lines with the left and right ends of the object.

    摘要: An object recognition system mounted on a vehicle comprises a camera and a controller. The camera captures an image in front of the vehicle. The controller divides the image into a plurality of windows. The controller measures distance to the road surface for each of the plurality of windows and thereby obtains a plurality of distances. The controller estimates a relative inclination of the road surface against the vehicle based on the plurality of distances. The controller judges, for each of the plurality of windows, based on the estimated inclination, whether the object is an obstacle or the road surface and thereby obtains a judgment result. The controller recognizes the object based on the judgment result. The system recognizes objects in front of the vehicle even when the vehicle is lopsided by pitching, rolling or else.

    摘要: An object recognition system including a position sensor, an image sensor and a controller is provided. The position sensor determines the position of an object, and the image sensor captures an image of the object. The controller sets a processing area within the image captured by the image sensor based on the position of the object determined by the position sensor and a predetermined size for the object to be recognized. The controller extracts horizontal edges from the processing area, and judges whether each of the extracted edges belongs to the object based on characteristics of the object to be recognized. More practically, the controller can check if each of the extracted edges contains a pixel on a boundary of the processing area. If so, the controller judges to the edge to belong to an object other than the object. The controller can also examine the linearity of each of the extracted edges. If the linearity is larger than a predetermined value, the controller judges the edge to belong to an object other than the object. The controller can also examine the slope of each of the extracted edges. If the slope is larger than a predetermined value, the controller judges the edge to belong to an object other than the object. Thus, the edges judged to belong to an object other than the object are removed. The controller recognizes the outline of the object based on the edges judged to belong to the object.

    摘要: An object recognition system including a position sensor, an image sensor and a controller is provided. The position sensor determines the position of an object, and the image sensor captures an image of the object. The controller sets a processing area within the image captured by the image sensor based on the position of the object determined by the position sensor and a predetermined size for the object to be recognized. The controller extracts horizontal edges from the processing area, and identifies horizontal edges belonging to the outline of the object from the extracted edges. Thus, the object can be recognized based on the horizontal edges only. Similarly, the controller can extract vertical edges from the processing area and identify vertical edges belonging to the outline of the object. Preferably, the controller selects upper, lower, left, and right horizontal and vertical candidate ends of the object from the identified horizontal and vertical edges respectively, from which upper, lower, left, and right ends of the object are determined. If either one or both of the left and right horizontal candidate ends cannot be selected, candidate ends can be estimated based on the position of the object recognized in a previous recognition cycle, and the estimated candidate ends can be used in lieu of the candidate ends selected from the horizontal edges.

    摘要: An object recognition system includes one or more image sensors and a controller that is adapted for measuring the distance from the system to objects with respect to respective windows of an image captured by the sensors is provided. The controller forms clusters by uniting adjacent windows that have similar measured distances. The system includes a memory for storing data on a previously recognized physical object. The controller infers a physical object based on data on a previously recognized physical object and the speed of the vehicle relative to a previously recognized physical object and wherein said controller determines a combination of clusters that best matches the inferred physical object. The controller groups the clusters into one or more cluster groups according to the distance from the vehicle carrying the system and selects from one of the cluster groups those clusters that overlaps with a physical object inferred by the controller. The controller matches combinations of the selected clusters with the inferred physical object based on the attributes of the combined clusters and the attributes of the inferred physical object.
