Monitoring system
A monitoring system includes an imaging unit configured to capture a depth image including a distance to a monitoring target person in a vehicle cabin, an estimation unit configured to estimate a three-dimensional human body model of the monitoring target person from the depth image captured by the imaging unit, and a monitoring unit configured to detect a get-off motion by monitoring a motion of a monitoring target portion of the human body model approaching the monitoring coordinate regarding a door manipulation in the cabin on the basis of the human body model estimated by the estimation unit.
1. A monitoring system comprising:
an imaging unit configured to capture a depth image including a distance to a monitoring target person in a cabin of a vehicle;
an estimation unit configured to estimate a three-dimensional human body model of the monitoring target person from the depth image captured by the imaging unit by:
extracting a human body portion of the monitoring target person from the depth image,
specifying human body parts from the extracted human body portion,
calculating three-dimensional coordinates of each of the specified human body parts, and
joining the specified human body parts; and
a monitoring unit configured to detect a get-off motion of the monitoring target person by monitoring a motion of a monitoring target portion of the three-dimensional human body model approaching a monitoring coordinate regarding a door manipulation in the cabin on the basis of the three-dimensional human body model estimated by the estimation unit.
2. The monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein
the monitoring unit detects the get-off motion by monitoring a motion of the monitoring target portion positioned inside a monitoring region of the cabin approaching the monitoring coordinate with respect to the monitoring coordinate, and does not detect a motion of the monitoring target portion positioned outside the monitoring region approaching the monitoring coordinate as the get-off motion.
3. The monitoring system according to claim 2 , wherein
the monitoring coordinate includes three-dimensional coordinates of a door knob in the cabin, and
the monitoring target portion is a hand of the monitoring target person.
4. The monitoring system according to claim 3 , further comprising:
an operation controller configured to perform a process corresponding to the get-off motion when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit.
5. The monitoring system according to claim 4 , wherein
the operation controller performs the process corresponding to the get-off motion when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit, and the vehicle is in a stop state.
6. The monitoring system according to claim 2 , further comprising:
an operation controller configured to perform a process corresponding to the get-off motion when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit.
7. The monitoring system according to claim 6 , wherein
the operation controller performs the process corresponding to the get-off motion when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit, and the vehicle is in a stop state.
8. The monitoring system according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a casing provided on a surface of a cabin side of a ceiling of the vehicle, the imaging unit and the monitoring unit being assembled to the casing.
9. The monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein
the monitoring coordinate includes three-dimensional coordinates of a door knob in the cabin, and
the monitoring target portion is a hand of the monitoring target person.
10. The monitoring system according to claim 9 , further comprising:
an operation controller configured to perform a process corresponding to the get-off motion when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit.
11. The monitoring system according to claim 10 , wherein
the operation controller performs the process corresponding to the get-off motion when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit, and the vehicle is in a stop state.
12. The monitoring system according to claim 9 , further comprising:
a casing provided on a surface of a cabin side of a ceiling of the vehicle, the imaging unit and the monitoring unit being assembled to the casing.
13. The monitoring system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an operation controller configured to perform a process corresponding to the get-off motion when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit.
14. The monitoring system according to claim 13 , wherein
the operation controller performs the process corresponding to the get-off motion when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit, and the vehicle is in a stop state.
15. The monitoring system according to claim 14 , further comprising:
an alarming unit provided in the cabin to perform warning to the monitoring target person, wherein
the operation controller causes the alarming unit to perform the process of warning about approach of an another vehicle when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit, and the another vehicle approaches the vehicle.
16. The monitoring system according to claim 14 , further comprising:
a casing provided on a surface of a cabin side of a ceiling of the vehicle, the imaging unit and the monitoring unit being assembled to the casing.
17. The monitoring system according to claim 13 , further comprising:
an alarming unit provided in the cabin to perform warning to the monitoring target person, wherein
the operation controller causes the alarming unit to perform the process of warning about approach of an another vehicle when the get-off motion is detected on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring unit, and the another vehicle approaches the vehicle.
18. The monitoring system according to claim 17 , further comprising:
a casing provided on a surface of a cabin side of a ceiling of the vehicle, the imaging unit and the monitoring unit being assembled to the casing.
19. The monitoring system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a casing provided on a surface of a cabin side of a ceiling of the vehicle, the imaging unit and the monitoring unit being assembled to the casing.
20. The monitoring system according to claim 13 , further comprising:
a casing provided on a surface of a cabin side of a ceiling of the vehicle, the imaging unit and the monitoring unit being assembled to the casing.
