Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
The point cloud filtering method provided by the application can be applied to the application environment shown in fig. 1. In which a computer device in an autonomous vehicle is equipped with an operating system. The computer device may be, but is not limited to, various industrial computers, personal computers, and notebook computers. The computer device may further comprise a measuring means, which may be a radar, for collecting data points to obtain point cloud data.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, a point cloud filtering method is provided, which is illustrated by way of example as the method applied to a computer device, which may be an intelligent driver, in the autonomous vehicle of fig. 1. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
step 202, point cloud data is obtained; the point cloud data is a collection of data points obtained by scanning a road environment.
The data points may be points obtained by the measuring device scanning the road environment, and each data point corresponds to an object in the road environment, such as a vehicle, a pedestrian, a road, a street lamp, a telegraph pole, a tree, guardrails on both sides of the road, and the like in front.
Specifically, a computer device in an autonomous vehicle scans a road environment through a measuring device, which has a depth perception function; when an obstacle is scanned, data points are obtained, and the collection of all the data points constitutes point cloud data.
In one embodiment, the measuring device includes, but is not limited to, various radars and binocular cameras, and may be other sensors with depth perception function.
In one embodiment, the data points may be laser-formed points that are reflected onto the measuring device after the measuring device has emitted laser light into the roadway environment.
In one embodiment, when the measuring device is a Radar (Radar), the Radar may be a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), i.e. a Radar system that detects characteristic quantities of a position, a speed, etc. of a target with a transmitted laser beam. And the radar acquires data points according to a certain acquisition frequency to obtain point cloud data. For example, the radar has a frequency of acquisition of 10zAnd then the computer equipment acquires one frame of point cloud data by radar every 0.1 second.
Step 204, determining the neighborhood of the current data point in the point cloud data.
Wherein the current data point may be a data point currently being processed by the computer device. The neighborhood may be a spatial region centered at the current data point.
Specifically, the point cloud data includes the distance of each data point to the radar. The computer equipment obtains the distance from the current data point to the radar and the horizontal angle resolution of the radar, and calculates the distance and the horizontal angle resolution according to a preset calculation mode to obtain the adjacent radius of the current data point. The computer device determines a sphere space in a rectangular spatial coordinate system by taking the current data point as a center, wherein the radius of the sphere space can be the adjacent radius of the current data point, and a neighborhood of the current data point is obtained.
And step 206, when the first quantity of the data points in the neighborhood of the current data point is smaller than a preset threshold value, determining the current data point as a candidate noise point.
Wherein the first number may be the number of data points in the neighborhood of the current data point; the preset threshold value can be a preset number value of data points; the candidate noise points are data points in the point cloud data that are likely to be noise points.
Specifically, the computer device counts the number of data points in a neighborhood of the current data point to obtain a first number. The computer equipment acquires a stored preset threshold value and compares the first quantity with the preset threshold value; and when the first number is smaller than a preset threshold value, determining the current data point as a candidate noise point.
In one embodiment, objects closer to the radar reflect laser light with denser data points, and objects further from the radar reflect laser light with sparser data points. If all data points in the point cloud data adopt the same approach radius, when the first quantity is counted, data points formed by objects (such as vehicles, pedestrians and the like) far away from the radar are sparse, and are easy to judge as candidate noise points. Therefore, for different data points, respective adjacent radii are calculated, and data points formed by radar distant objects are protected, namely distant features are protected in filtering.
And step 208, performing region growing by taking the candidate noise points as seed points to obtain a target growing region.
Wherein, the seed point is an initial data point required for region growing; the region growing is a process of searching more data points from the seed points according to a preset condition; and the target growth area is a space area formed by all searched data points after the area growth is finished.
Specifically, after the computer obtains the candidate noise points in the point cloud data, the candidate noise points are used as seed points, data points are searched around the seed points according to preset conditions, the searched data points are used as new seed points to continue region growing, and when the data points meeting the preset conditions cannot be searched, the region growing is stopped. And the computer equipment obtains the target growth area according to all the searched data points.
And step 210, when the second number of the data points in the target growth area is smaller than a preset threshold value, filtering the candidate noise points serving as noise points from the point cloud data.
Wherein the second number is the number of data points within the target growth area.
Specifically, the computer device counts the number of data points in the target growth area to obtain a second number. And the computer equipment acquires a preset threshold value, compares the preset threshold value with the second number, determines the candidate noise points as noise points if the second number is still smaller than the preset threshold value, and filters the noise points from the point cloud data. And after the computer equipment judges all the candidate noise points, obtaining filtered point cloud data.
In one embodiment, the computer device counts a second number of data points in the target growing region in real time during the region growing, and determines the candidate noise point as a valid point and stops the region growing when the second number is greater than a preset threshold.
In one embodiment, after the candidate noise point is used as the seed point, if the seed point cannot perform region growing, that is, a data point meeting a preset condition cannot be found, the candidate noise point is used as the noise point to be filtered from the point cloud data.
In one embodiment, when the computer device counts that the first number of data points in the neighborhood of the current data point is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, the current data point is kept as a valid data point; and when the second number of the data points in the target growth area is counted to be greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, the candidate noise points are reserved as effective data points. And after the filtering of the computer equipment is finished, obtaining road environment information according to the effective data points, and controlling the automatic driving automobile to run according to the road environment information.
In the embodiment, after point cloud data is acquired, the neighborhood of the current data point is determined, the number of all data points in the neighborhood is counted by taking the current data point as a center, when the number is smaller than a preset threshold, the current data point at the center position is a candidate noise point, the neighborhood is determined for the current data point during the primary positioning of the noise point, the data point formed by a distant object is prevented from being taken as the noise point, and the accuracy of noise point judgment is improved. The candidate noise points are used as seed points to carry out region growth, all data points in the target growth region are obtained through the region growth, and the candidate noise points are used as noise points to be filtered only when the number of the data points is smaller than a preset threshold value, so that the situation that the data points existing in a sparse characteristic form in the point cloud data are filtered as the noise points is avoided, the accuracy of point cloud filtering is improved, and the safety of automatic driving is further improved.
As shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment, step 202 further includes a step of extracting a preset threshold, where the step specifically includes the following steps:
step 302, weather environment data is obtained.
Wherein the weather environment data may be data characterizing the weather environment.
Specifically, after the automatic driving automobile is started, the computer equipment can automatically acquire weather environment data through a network. The weather environment data may be current weather conditions such as sunny days, cloudy days, rainy days, snowy days, foggy days, etc. The weather environment data may also include temperature and current time, etc.
In one embodiment, the weather environment data may be manually entered after the user initiates the autonomous vehicle; in addition, the computer device calls a positioning system to position the current position of the automatic driving automobile, and then obtains weather environment data of the current position from the network through an internet device on the automatic driving automobile.
Step 304, querying an environment state identifier corresponding to the weather environment data in a preset list.
The preset list may be a list storing all preset thresholds; the environmental status identification may be an identification of the current weather environment.
Specifically, different weather environment data correspond to different environment status identifiers, and different weather environments correspond to different preset thresholds, for example, the preset threshold in a snowy weather environment is higher than the preset threshold in a sunny weather environment. After the computer equipment acquires the weather environment data, reading a preset list storing preset threshold values under different weather environments, and inquiring an environment state identifier corresponding to the weather environment data in the preset list.
Step 306, extracting a preset threshold corresponding to the queried environment state identifier from the preset list.
Specifically, after querying an environment state identifier corresponding to the weather environment data in the preset list, the server extracts a preset threshold corresponding to the queried environment state identifier, and uses the extracted preset threshold as a preset threshold adopted during filtering.
In the embodiment, weather environment data is obtained, and the weather environment data represents the weather environment during driving; inquiring an environment state identification corresponding to the weather environment data in a preset list, and extracting a preset threshold corresponding to the inquired environment state identification; the extracted preset threshold corresponds to the current weather environment, so that the computer equipment can effectively filter according to the weather, and the accuracy of filtering is improved.
As shown in fig. 4, in an embodiment, step 204 further includes a step of determining a neighborhood, which includes the following steps:
step 402, the distance from the current data point to the radar used for emitting laser is acquired.
Specifically, the computer device may emit laser light through a radar and obtain point cloud data. When the current data point is detected by the radar, the radar calculates the distance from the current data point to the radar, the distance represents the distance from the obstacle point which reflects the laser to the radar, and the distance and the current data point are correspondingly stored. And when the computer equipment carries out filtering, acquiring the distance from the current data point to the radar for transmitting the laser.
In one embodiment, the distance acquired by the computer device represents the distance from the obstacle point reflecting the laser to the radar center point, i.e., the radar center.
And step 404, when the distance is within the preset filtering distance interval, acquiring the horizontal angular resolution of the radar.
The preset filtering distance interval may be an interval representing a filtering distance range. The horizontal angular resolution is a parameter of the radar.
Specifically, the computer device only filters data points within a preset distance range. The computer device obtains a preset filtering distance interval, wherein a left end point of the preset filtering distance interval can be a minimum filtering distance, and a right end point of the preset filtering distance interval can be a maximum filtering distance. And when the distance from the current data point to the radar is within a preset filtering distance interval, the computer equipment acquires the stored horizontal angular resolution of the radar.
In one embodiment, when the distance from the current data point to the radar is not within the preset filtering distance interval, the current data point is filtered out of the point cloud data.
In one embodiment, the preset filtering distance interval may be determined by weather environment data, may be set by a user, and may be determined by an attribute of the radar.
At step 406, the adjacent radius of the current data point is calculated based on the horizontal angular resolution and the distance.
Where the proximity radius may be the radius of the neighborhood of the current data point.
Specifically, after the computer device obtains the horizontal angular resolution of the radar and the distance from the data point to the radar, a preset radius calculation formula is obtained, and the adjacent radius of the current data point is calculated according to the obtained radius calculation formula, the horizontal angular resolution and the distance from the current data point to the radar.
In one embodiment, adjacent to radius Rd=EhX (3.14. pi.) x d, wherein RdIs the adjacent radius of the current data point; ehIs the horizontal angular resolution of the radar; d is the distance of the current data point to the radar.
And step 408, determining the neighborhood of the current data point according to the adjacent radius.
Specifically, the computer device determines a spherical region in the spatial rectangular coordinate system by taking the current data point as the center of sphere and the calculated adjacent radius as the radius of the sphere, wherein the spherical region is the neighborhood of the current data point.
In the embodiment, the distance from the current data point to a radar for emitting laser is obtained, and the distance represents the distance from the current data point to the radar; when the distance is within the preset filtering distance interval, the current data point is within a reasonable distance range, filtering value exists, the horizontal and angular resolution of the radar is obtained, the adjacent radius of the current data point is calculated according to the horizontal and angular resolution and the distance, the neighborhood of the current data point is determined according to the adjacent radius, so that the current data point within the preset filtering distance interval is filtered, and the accuracy of filtering is improved.
As shown in fig. 5, in an embodiment, step 206 further includes a step of counting the first number, and the step specifically includes the following steps:
step 502, point cloud attributes of the point cloud data are obtained.
Wherein the point cloud attributes are used to characterize properties of the point cloud data.
Specifically, after the computer device acquires the point cloud data, the point cloud attribute of the point cloud data is acquired. The point cloud attributes are inherent attributes of the point cloud data, including orderliness and disordering. The point cloud attributes may depend on the type of radar. The computer device may obtain the point cloud attributes through an attribute function.
Step 504, a candidate noise point statistical mode corresponding to the acquired point cloud attributes is determined.
The candidate noise point statistic manner may be a manner of counting a first number of data points in a neighborhood of the current data point.
In particular, the point cloud attributes may include orderliness and disordering. The point cloud data with different attributes correspond to different candidate noise point statistical modes. After the point cloud attributes are obtained by the computer equipment, the candidate noise point statistical mode of the point cloud data is determined according to the point cloud attributes.
Step 506, the first number of data points in the neighborhood of the current data point is counted according to the statistical mode of the candidate noise points.
Specifically, after the computer device determines the candidate noise point statistical manner, the first number of data points in the neighborhood of the current data point is counted according to the determined candidate noise point statistical manner.
In the embodiment, the point cloud attributes of the point cloud data are obtained, the point cloud data with different point cloud attributes have different characteristics, the candidate noise point statistical mode is determined according to the point cloud attributes, the first number of the data points in the adjacent radius of the current data point is counted according to the determined candidate noise point statistical mode, namely, the first number statistical mode is reasonably selected according to the characteristics of the point cloud data, and the statistical efficiency is improved.
As shown in fig. 6, in an embodiment, step 506 further includes a step of counting the first number by order, and the step includes the following steps:
step 602, when each data point in the point cloud data is determined to be an ordered data point according to the point cloud attribute, a data point sequence number of the current data point is obtained.
Wherein, the ordered data points can be data points which are regularly and related with each other; the data point sequence number may be a sequence number of an ordered data point, an identifier of an ordered data point, and may be a character string combined by letters, numbers, special symbols, and the like.
Specifically, if the point cloud attributes are ordered, the radar adds a data point serial number to each data point after obtaining the data point. And when the computer equipment determines that the point cloud data is ordered according to the point cloud attributes, determining each data point in the point cloud data as an ordered data point, and acquiring the data point serial number of the current data point.
At step 604, the adjacent data points adjacent to the data point number of the current data point are queried.
Wherein the neighboring data points are data points within a certain spatial range from the current data point.
Specifically, the data point numbers of ordered data points within a certain spatial range are adjacent. After the computer equipment acquires the data point serial number of the current data point, the adjacent data point of the current data point is inquired according to the data point serial number.
At step 606, a first number of neighboring data points located in a neighborhood of the current data point is counted.
Specifically, the computer device obtains the spatial coordinates of the current data point and each adjacent data point, respectively calculates the spatial distance between the current data point and each adjacent data point, compares the calculated spatial distance with the adjacent radius of the current data point, and when the spatial distance is smaller than the adjacent radius, the adjacent data point is located in the neighborhood of the current data point. The computer device counts the number of adjacent data points located in the neighborhood of the current data point to obtain a first number.
In this embodiment, when each data point in the point cloud data is determined to be an ordered data point according to the point cloud attribute, the data point number of the current data point is obtained, and since the ordered data point has the data point number and the number of adjacent data points is adjacent, adjacent data points can be quickly found according to the data point number, thereby improving the speed of counting the first number.
As shown in fig. 7, in another embodiment, step 506 further includes a step of counting the first number by voxels, and the step includes the following steps:
step 702, when each data point in the point cloud data is determined to be a disordered data point according to the point cloud attributes, performing voxel division on a point cloud space corresponding to the point cloud data to obtain a plurality of voxels.
Wherein, the ordinal data points can be data points without rules and connection among each other; the point cloud data are constructed in a three-dimensional coordinate system, and the space determined by the three-dimensional coordinate system is a point cloud space; the voxel division is to divide the point cloud space into a plurality of volume spaces, and each volume space is a voxel; a voxel is an abbreviation of Volume element (Volume Pixel), which is the smallest unit when a three-dimensional space is divided.
Specifically, when the computer device determines that the point cloud data is unordered according to the point cloud orderliness, each data point in the point cloud data is determined to be an unnecessary data point. The computer equipment calculates the voxel size according to a preset voxel calculation mode, and performs voxel division on a point cloud space corresponding to the point cloud data according to the voxel size to obtain a plurality of voxels.

And step 810, continuing the region growing by taking the data points which can be grown as seed points until the region growing is stopped to obtain a target growing region.
Specifically, the computer device sets the determined growable data point as a new seed point, queries each adjacent data point corresponding to the new seed point, and continues to perform region growth on the basis of the new seed point until the growable data point cannot be found, and stops the region growth. And the computer equipment obtains a target growth area according to the searched space areas where all the data points capable of growing are located.
