Abstract
Die Erfindung stellt ein Verfahren zum Messen der Entfernung eines Bordsteines mit den folgenden Merkmalen bereit: Verschiedenartige Kameras (11-14) erfassen jeweils ein Sichtfeld dergestalt, dass die Sichtfelder einen gemeinsamen Überlappungsbereich (15, 16) abdecken und wenn der Überlappungsbereich (15, 16) den Bordstein (20) umfasst, wird die Entfernung (21) durch eine Stereotriangulation mittels der Kameras (11-14) berechnet.Die Erfindung stellt ferner ein entsprechendes Straßenfahrzeug, ein entsprechendes Computerprogramm sowie ein entsprechendes Speichermedium bereit.The invention provides a method for measuring the distance of a curb with the following features: Different cameras (11-14) each record a field of view in such a way that the fields of view cover a common overlap area (15, 16) and when the overlap area (15, 16 ) comprises the curb (20), the distance (21) is calculated by stereo triangulation by means of the cameras (11-14). The invention also provides a corresponding road vehicle, a corresponding computer program and a corresponding storage medium.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Messen der Entfernung eines Bordsteines. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft darüber hinaus ein entsprechendes Straßenfahrzeug, ein entsprechendes Computerprogramm sowie ein entsprechendes Speichermedium.The present invention relates to a method for measuring the distance of a curb. The present invention also relates to a corresponding road vehicle, a corresponding computer program and a corresponding storage medium.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention
Der erfindungsgemäße Ansatz fußt auf der Erkenntnis, dass die höhenverstellbare Frontlippe eines Straßenfahrzeuges aus Gründen des Fußgängerschutz sowie der Aerodynamik möglichst tief einzustellen ist. Allerdings mindert die Lippe in dieser Stellung die Geländegängigkeit des damit ausgerüsteten Fahrzeuges und erschwert dessen Einparken, da sie über den Bordstein schrammen kann. Dieser Zielkonflikt macht es wünschenswert, im Rahmen von Einparkvorgängen zuverlässig den Bordstein und dessen Höhe zu erkennen.The approach according to the invention is based on the knowledge that the height-adjustable front lip of a road vehicle should be set as low as possible for reasons of pedestrian protection and aerodynamics. However, in this position, the lip reduces the cross-country mobility of the vehicle equipped with it and makes parking more difficult because it can scratch the curb. This conflict of objectives makes it desirable to reliably identify the curb and its height when parking.
Die Erfindung trägt ferner dem Umstand Rechnung, dass Straßenfahrzeuge der Ober- und Luxusklasse ausstattungsabhängig mitunter Kameras aufweisen, die eine echte Draufsicht (real top view, RTV) des Fahrzeuges gestatten. Die Sichtfelder derartiger Draufsichtkameras sind in ihrer Weite nicht zu unterschätzen und weisen je nach Ausrichtung einen beträchtlichen Überlappungsbereich auf.The invention also takes into account the fact that road vehicles of the upper and luxury class, depending on the equipment, sometimes have cameras that allow a real top view (RTV) of the vehicle. The width of the fields of view of such top view cameras should not be underestimated and, depending on the orientation, have a considerable overlap area.
Die Erfindung stellt vor diesem Hintergrund ein Verfahren zum Messen der Entfernung eines Bordsteines, ein entsprechendes Straßenfahrzeug, ein entsprechendes Computerprogramm sowie ein entsprechendes maschinenlesbares Speichermedium gemäß den unabhängigen Ansprüchen bereit.Against this background, the invention provides a method for measuring the distance of a curb, a corresponding road vehicle, a corresponding computer program and a corresponding machine-readable storage medium according to the independent claims.
Ein Grundgedanke dieses Ansatzes besteht darin, in den Überlappungsbereichen der einzelnen Kameras eine Stereotriangulation durchzuführen, um wenigstens in diesen Bereichen Tiefeninformationen zu generieren.A basic idea of this approach is to carry out a stereo triangulation in the overlapping areas of the individual cameras in order to generate depth information at least in these areas.
Der Vorzug eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens liegt hierbei darin, dass es in handelsüblichen Straßenfahrzeugen ohne zusätzliche Bauteile durchgeführt werden kann.The advantage of a method according to the invention is that it can be carried out in commercially available road vehicles without additional components.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegeben. So kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Draufsichtkameras in einem Abstand von mindestens 1 m zur Fahrerassistenzkamera angeordnet sind. Dies verleiht der erfindungsgemäßen Entfernungsberechnung eine hohe Genauigkeit, da die durch die Stereotriangulation gewonnenen Tiefeninformationen aufgrund des hohen Basisabstands präzise und selbst auf große Distanz gute Ergebnisse generieren sollte.Further advantageous refinements of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. It can thus be provided that the top view cameras are arranged at a distance of at least 1 m from the driver assistance camera. This gives the distance calculation according to the invention a high level of accuracy, since the depth information obtained by the stereo triangulation should generate good results precisely and even at great distances due to the high base distance.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform können die Draufsichtkameras zumindest vorne, links und rechts am Straßenfahrzeug angeordnet sein. Eine Durchführung des vorgeschlagenen Verfahrens mit solchermaßen angeordneten Kameras erlaubt die problemlose Schätzung der Höhe und Entfernung des Bordsteines. According to a further embodiment, the top view cameras can be arranged at least at the front, left and right of the road vehicle. Carrying out the proposed method with cameras arranged in this way allows the height and distance of the curb to be estimated without problems.
