Method for acquiring distance from moving body to at least one object located in any direction of moving body by performing near region sensing and image processing device using the same
Abstract:
A method for acquiring a distance from a moving body to an object located in any direction of the moving body includes steps of: an image processing device (a) instructing a rounded cuboid sweep network to project pixels of images, generated by cameras covering all directions of the moving body, onto N virtual rounded cuboids to generate rounded cuboid images and apply 3D concatenation operation thereon to generate an initial 4D cost volume, (b) instructing a cost volume computation network to generate a final 3D cost volume from the initial 4D cost volume, and (c) generating inverse radius indices, corresponding to inverse radii representing inverse values of separation distances of the N virtual rounded cuboids, by referring to the final 3D cost volume and extracting the inverse radii by using the inverse radius indices, to acquire the separation distances and thus, the distance from the moving body to the object.
