| Abstract | An image processing device includes: an extraction unit which extracts a horizontal edge line in which edge points are arranged consecutively in a horizontal direction from an image taken that contains an image of a parking frame; a detection unit which detects, in a case where an edge length of a series edge line in which a plurality of the horizontal edge lines are arranged in the horizontal direction like a broken line is longer than or equal to a prescribed threshold value among a plurality of the horizontal edge lines extracted by the extraction unit, the series edge line as corresponding to a deep-side boundary line of a parking frame; and a determining unit which determines a stop position in the parking frame based on the boundary line detected by the detection unit. |

| Claim | An image processing device comprising: a computer including a hardware processor configured to function as an extraction unit, a detection unit and a determining unit, wherein the extraction unit extracts a horizontal edge line in which edge points are arranged consecutively in a horizontal direction from a taken image that contains an image of a parking frame; the detection unit detects, when an edge length of a series edge line in which a plurality of the horizontal edge lines are arranged in the horizontal direction like a broken line is longer than or equal to a prescribed threshold value among a plurality of the horizontal edge lines extracted by the extraction unit, the series edge line as corresponding to a deep-side boundary line of the parking frame; the determining unit determines a stop position in the parking frame based on the deep-side boundary line detected by the detection unit; the detection unit detects the horizontal edge line which is a single line having an edge length that is longer than or equal to the prescribed threshold value to be the deep-side boundary line based on the single horizontal edge line; and the detection unit detects, as a boundary region, a region that is located under the single horizontal edge line and detects the series edge line included in the boundary region as corresponding to the deep-side boundary line. An image processing device comprising: a computer including a hardware processor configured to function as an extraction unit, a detection unit and a determining unit, wherein the extraction unit extracts, from a taken image that contains an image of a parking frame, a horizontal edge line in which edge points are arranged consecutively in a horizontal direction and a crossing edge line in which edge points are arranged consecutively in a crossing direction that crosses the horizontal direction; the detection unit detects the horizontal edge line and the crossing edge line extracted by the extraction unit as corresponding to a sprag disposed in the parking frame when the horizontal edge line and the crossing edge line extracted by the extraction unit satisfy a prescribed detection condition; the determining unit determines a stop position in the parking frame based on the sprag detected by the detection unit; and when the crossing edge line is a single line that is perpendicular to a plurality of the horizontal edge lines at ends thereof, the detection unit detects the plurality of the horizontal edge lines and the single crossing edge line as corresponding to the sprag. The image processing device according to claim 2, wherein: the extraction unit extracts the horizontal edge line and the crossing edge line from each of a plurality of the images taken that are received in time series; and in a case where the horizontal edge lines and the crossing edge lines that satisfy the prescribed detection condition are extracted consecutively in time series, the detection unit detects the horizontal edge lines and the crossing edge lines as corresponding to the sprag. An image processing method comprising: extracting, by a computer having a hardware processor, a horizontal edge line in which edge points are arranged consecutively in a horizontal direction from a taken image that contains an image of a parking frame; when an edge length of a series edge line in which a plurality of the horizontal edge lines are arranged in the horizontal direction like a broken line is longer than or equal to a prescribed threshold value among a plurality of the extracted horizontal edge lines, detecting, by the computer having the hardware processor, the series edge line as corresponding to a deep-side boundary line of the parking frame; determining, by the computer having the hardware processor, a stop position in the parking frame based on the detected deep-side boundary line; the detecting includes detecting the horizontal edge line which is a single line having an edge length that is longer than or equal to the prescribed threshold value to be the deep-side boundary line based on the single horizontal edge line; and the detecting includes detecting, as a boundary region, a region that is located under the single horizontal edge line and detecting the series edge line included in the boundary region as corresponding to the deep-side boundary line. An image processing method comprising: extracting, by a computer having a hardware processor, from a taken image that contains an image of a parking frame, a horizontal edge line in which edge points are arranged consecutively in a horizontal direction and a crossing edge line in which edge points are arranged consecutively in a crossing direction that crosses the horizontal direction; detecting, by the computer having the hardware processor, the extracted horizontal edge line and the extracted crossing edge line as corresponding to a sprag disposed in the parking frame when the extracted horizontal edge line and the extracted crossing edge line satisfy a prescribed detection condition; determining, by the computer having the hardware processor, a stop position in the parking frame based on the detected sprag; and when the crossing edge line is a single line that is perpendicular to a plurality of the horizontal edge lines at ends thereof, the detecting includes detecting the plurality of the horizontal edge lines and the single crossing edge line as corresponding to the sprag. |
