Abstract

In this paper, we propose an region segmentation and texture based feature extraction method which split the pavement and roadway from the camera which equipped to the visually impaired person during a walk. We perform the hough transformation method for detect the boundary between pavement and roadway, and devide the segmented region into 3-level according to perspective. Next step, split into pavement and roadway according to the extracted texture feature of segmented regions. Our walking assistance system use rotation-invariant LBP and GLCM texture features for compare the characteristic of pavement block with various pattern and uniformity roadway. Our proposed method show that can segment two regions with illumination invariant in day and night image, and split there regions rotation and occlution invariant in complexed outdoor image.

본 논문은 보행중인 시각장애인에 장착된 카메라로부터 획득한 영상에서 보도와 차도 영역을 구분하기 위한 영역분할 기법과 질감 특징추출 기법에 대해 제안한다. 허프 변환 알고리즘을 이용한 라인검출을 통해 도로 경계선을 검출하고, 분할된 영역을 원근에 따라 3단계의 레벨로 구분한다. 그리고 분할된 영역들의 질감 특징성분을 추출함으로써 보도와 차도영역으로 분리한다. 보도블록이 가지는 복잡하고 다양한 특성의 패턴과 차도의 균일한 질감을 가진 영역의 특성을 비교하기 위하여 회전에 강건한 LBP, GLCM 질감 특징성분들을 이용함으로써 두 영역을 구분하였다. 제안된 방법은 주간과 야간 영상에 대해 실험한 결과 조도의 변화에 강건하게 영역을 분리할 수 있었고, 또한 보행자와 장애물이 많은 영상에서도 회전이나 폐색에 관계없이 영역 분리가 가능함을 확인하였다.
