Title: Object recognition system and object recognition method
Inventor: RUI GUERREIRO
IPC: G06T7/70
Filed: 2016-11-25
Abstract: Recorded images are analysed to detect objects (304) in the image, e.g. by extracting line(s) or contour(s) of the objects, which cross a horizon line (305). Such objects are likely to constitute obstacles to a vehicle on which the camera is mounted. Objects not crossing the horizon line (303) are unlikely to be obstacles. The horizon line may be considered as defining a 3D plane that is parallel to the ground and intersects the camera at its vertical position. Entities in the image may be classified /recognised as objects if their lines and/or contours cross the horizon line. The objects real-world position (e.g. presence within an area surrounding the camera) may be calculated based on the objects position in the image. The objects existence within a trajectory of the camera when the latter is moving may be detected, especially when the object position is calculated assuming that their lower part is touching (e.g. standing on) the ground.
