DEVICE, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETERMINING A POSITION ON THE BASIS OF A CAMERA IMAGE

摘要

The device (100) has a Hough transformer (110) for identifying circular or elliptical arc in a camera image (112) or in a preprocessed version of the image, where the transformer identifies straight stretches running via the image or the version in different directions. A position description provider (120) provides a position description (122) based on the arc and the stretches, where the description describes the arc and the stretches by a parameter. A database comparator (130) compares the description with comparison position descriptions (132) for obtaining information about the position. An independent claim is also included for a method for determining a position of an object.
