Night preceding vehicle detection method for heavy-duty truck

Abstract

The invention discloses a night preceding vehicle detection method for heavy-duty trucks. The night preceding vehicle detection method comprises the steps of acquiring a classifier and realizing vehicle detection. Specifically, the classifier acquisition comprises the steps of: removing interference in a gray scale image of a driving environment in front of a heavy-duty truck by adopting a threshold value processing method; intercepting a vehicle-lamp-pair region as a positive sample, and intercepting non-vehicle-lamp-pair regions as negative samples; and training the positive sample and the negative samples by adopting an adaboost algorithm based on haar-like features to obtain the classifier. The vehicle detection realization comprises the steps of reading a current frame gray scale image of video in real time and executing the operations as following: removing the interference in the current frame gray scale image by adopting the threshold value processing method to obtain a detected and processed current frame gray scale image; loading the classifier; detecting a vehicle-lamp-pair region in the detected and processed current frame gray scale image; and marking the vehicle-lamp-pair region in a copy of the current frame gray scale image. The night preceding vehicle detection method for heavy-duty trucks removes tail lamp interference, preserves shape of the vehicle lamp pair perfectly, reduces interference, simplifies the number of samples, improves the detection rate of the classifier, marks the detection result in the original image, and verifies the practicability of the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a detection method for a vehicle ahead of a heavy truck at night, and belongs to the technical field of vehicle safety. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of the transportation and logistics industry brought about by the advancement of the economy and society has brought great convenience to the society and people's life. At the same time, the number of cars has increased sharply, which has led to the deterioration of road traffic conditions. The driver assistance system (DAS) can help the driver control the vehicle by analyzing the current driving environment of the vehicle, improve traffic safety and prevent accidents. The input of the assisted driving system is generally a digital image (such as from a CCD camera or a CMOS camera), an infrared image, a laser, a radar, an ultrasonic wave or a GPS signal. [0003] There are three main categories of traditional night vision technologies that have been put into...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, when a heavy-duty truck is driving on a highway, it often travels fast, and the headlights of the truck are very bright, and there are also large areas of light on the road due to the bright headlights of the heavy-duty truck, road signs, road surfaces, guardrails, signs and other objects. Interference such as reflections also makes the taillights of vehicles driving in different lanes ahead appear asymmetrical, which greatly increases the difficulty of detecting vehicles in front of heavy trucks at night, making the above method unable to filter out other bright areas well. The interference will affect the follow-up detection work
