OBSTACLE DETECTION DEVICE AND METHOD USING BOUNDARY WEIGHTING

摘要

A device and a method for precisely detecting an obstacle by applying an outline weighting factor-based segmentation method to a detection result of a disparity map. A device for detecting an obstacle based on an outline weighting factor in a stereoscopic image includes: an initial region designation unit for designating an initial region by including at least an object within a stereoscopic image; a weighting factor calculation unit for calculating a weighting factor by relating to an outline of the object; and a region extraction unit for extracting an obstacle region which the object occupies from the initial region by applying the weighting factor when processing segmentation for the initial region.
