Abstract
The present concept relates to an apparatus for dividing of static scene based on statistics of images that enables more accurate image split processing by correcting movement and brightness components based on statistical information of multiple image frames for a static scene to generate an average image and by splitting the edge area and the non-edge area from the average image, and a method thereof.
Claims15
An apparatus for dividing of static scene based on statistics of images for splitting an area for one static scene by using a plurality of image frames for the static scene provided from a camera, the apparatus comprising a static scene split device,
- wherein the static scene split device comprises:
- a movement correction module configured to set one image frame among a plurality of image frames provided from the camera as a reference image and compare the reference image with each of the remaining image frames to generate each resampling image according to a movement difference;
- a brightness correction module configured to set as an initial average image an image generated using an average value for each pixel for a plurality of resampling image frames that are movement-corrected by the movement correction module and the reference image, regenerate an average image based on a variation value by a brightness difference of an average image and each image frame to update the average image, and repeatedly perform an average image update process based on the variation value until a difference between a current average image variation value and a previous average image variation value becomes equal to or less than a predetermined reference value;
- and
- an image split module configured to split an edge area and a non-edge area using a final average image in which the variation value update amount of the average image generated by the brightness correction module is equal to or less than the predetermined reference value.
A method for dividing of static scene based on statistics of images, the method comprising:
- setting an image frame of one of a plurality of image frames for one static scene provided from a camera as a reference image;
- comparing the reference image with the rest of the image frame to generate respective resampling images according to a movement difference;
- setting an initial average image as a current average image using average values for each pixel of the generated resampling images and reference image;
- updating the current average image by regenerating an average image based on a variation value by a brightness difference of the current average image and each image frame;
- repeating update of the average image based on the variation value until a variation value difference between the current average image and a previous average image becomes equal to or less than a predetermined reference value;
- and
- splitting an edge area and a non-edge area using a final average image.
