System and method for detecting a region of interest about tilted line
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a system for detecting a region of interest about a tilted line including: an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a front image by photographing a front of a vehicle; an image processing unit configured to divide the front image in a pixel unit of a row and a column and shift the front image by one pixel in a left or right direction in each row or in an upper or lower direction in each column until a region of interest (ROI) appears in a straight line in one direction; and a control unit configured to calculate coordinate values of the pixels forming the straight line in one direction to determine the tilted line of the region of interest, when the straight line in one direction appears in the region of interest as the shifted result.
1. A system for detecting a region of interest about a tilted line, comprising:
an image acquisition unit acquiring a front image by photographing a front of a vehicle;
an image processor dividing the front image in a pixel unit of a row and a column and shifting the front image by one pixel in a left or right direction in each row or in an upper or lower direction in each column until a region of interest (ROI) appears in a straight line in one direction; and
a controller calculating coordinate values of the pixels forming the straight line in one direction to determine the tilted line of the region of interest, when the straight line in one direction appears in the region of interest as the shifted result.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller counts a shift amount about how much the pixels in each row are shifted in the left or right direction in the pixel unit until upper and lower pixels forming the tilted line of the region of interest form a vertical line and performs an offset as much as the shift amount counted in each row on the vertical line to calculate the coordinate values of the pixels forming the tilted line so as to determine the tilted line of the region of interest.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller counts a shift amount about how much the pixels in each column are shifted in the upper or lower direction in the pixel unit until left and right pixels forming the tilted line of the region of interest form a horizontal line and performs an offset as much as the shift amount counted in each column on the horizontal line to calculate the coordinate values of the pixels forming the tilted line so as to determine the tilted line of the region of interest.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the image processor shifts the front image by one pixel in the left or right direction in each row until the tilted line of the region of interest (ROI) appears in a vertical line.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the image processor shifts the front image by one pixel in the upper or lower direction in each column until the tilted line of the region of interest (ROI) appears in a horizontal line.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the image processor performs ½ scaling on the pixels forming the region of interest (ROI) and shifts the pixels one by one in the left or right direction in each row or the upper or lower direction in each column until the straight line in one direction appears in the region of interest (ROI).
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the image processor performs the ½ scaling on the pixels forming the region of interest (ROI) by a vector method and shifts the pixels one by one in the left or right direction in each row or the upper or lower direction in each column until the straight line in one direction appears in the ½ scaled region of interest (ROI).
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the image processor performs the ½ scaling on the pixels forming the region of interest (ROI) by a method for deleting one pixel when left and right or upper and lower pixels which are adjacent to each other form a line having the same shape and shifts the pixels by one pixel in the left or right direction in each row or the upper or lower direction in each column until the straight line in one direction appears in the ½ scaled region of interest (ROI).
9. A method for detecting a region of interest about a tilted line, comprising:
acquiring a front image by photographing a front of a vehicle;
dividing the front image in a pixel unit of a row and a column;
shifting the front image by one pixel in each row or each column until the region of interest (ROI) appears in a straight line in one direction; and
calculating coordinate values of the pixels forming the straight line in one direction to determine the tilted line of the region of interest, when the straight line in one direction appears in the region of interest as the shifted result.
