Abstract

Visibility of the road influence the safe driving because it recognizes the obstacle on the road. In this paper, we propose a mobile data acquisition and processing system for evaluating road visibility at night. And it was converted efficiently with mobile images and archived for spatial analysis of road-visibilities at night. This was applied to the following techniques to the system. Low-power computing units, open an image processing library, GPU-based acceleration techniques and document database techniques, etc. And converting the RGB image to the YUV color system, which was integrated the brightness component and the spatial information. High performance Android devices were used to collect brightness data on roads and it was confirmed whether this prototype was to determine the spatial distribution of such acquisition and management systems for spatial-assessments of road visibility at night.

야간도로 노면 밝기는 운전자가 도로 상 장애물을 인지하고 안전하게 운행하는데 있어 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 정량적인 야간도로 시인성을 평가에 필요한 야간 도로 노면 영상정보 수집 및 처리용 모바일 체계를 제시하였다. 야간 도로 노면에서 수집되는 영상정보를 효율적으로 변환하고 야간도로 시인성에 대한 공간적인 분포를 파악할 수 있는 선형자료를 구축하였다. 이를 위해 저전력 컴퓨팅기술, 개방형 영상처리 기술, GPU 기반 가속 기술 및 도큐멘트데이터베이스 기술 등을 적용하였고 RGB영상으로부터 YUV색상체계로 변환하고 밝기에 해당하는 요소만 추출하여 공간정보와 통합하였다. 그 결과 고성능 안드로이드 단말기를 이용하여 도로밝기 자료를 취득하고 제안한 프로토타입으로 야간도로 시인성에 대한 공간적인 평가를 위한 자료 구축의 공간적 분포를 파악할 수 있었다.
