Description

Unmanned-driving-oriented scanning type TOF laser radar
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of laser radars, in particular to a scanning type TOF laser radar facing unmanned driving.
Background
TOF is an abbreviation of Time of flight, interpreted as the meaning of Time of flight. Time-of-flight 3D imaging is the acquisition of object distance by continuously sending light pulses to the object, receiving the light returning from the object with a sensor, and detecting the time of flight (round trip) of the light pulses. The sensor emits modulated near infrared light, the near infrared light is reflected after encountering an object, the distance of a shot scene is converted by calculating the time difference or phase difference between light emission and reflection so as to generate depth information, and in addition, the three-dimensional outline of the object can be presented in a mode that different colors represent different distances by combining with the traditional camera shooting.
The existing area array TOF technology is mainly realized in two ways: one is a method based on an optical shutter, the principle of which is shown in fig. 1, in order to emit a beam of pulsed light waves, the time difference t of the light waves reflected back after being irradiated to a three-dimensional object is rapidly and accurately obtained through the optical shutter, and since the speed of light c is known, as long as the time difference between the irradiated light and the received light is known, the distance to and from can be represented by d = t/2. c; the other method is based on continuous wave intensity modulation, and the principle is as shown in fig. 2, a beam of illumination light is emitted, and the distance measurement is performed by using the phase change of the emitted light wave signal and the reflected light wave signal. The latter is currently more commonly used commercially.
With the development of semiconductor technology and the advance of the field of unmanned laser radars, the area array TOF technology also becomes one of the competitive technical solutions in the demand of unmanned scene perception. It mainly has the following advantages: first, small volume, error are little. From the point of equipment miniaturization, the TOF technology requires that the receiving and transmitting are as close as possible, has the advantage of being not surpassable in principle, and is very suitable for compressing the volume of the laser radar compared with other three-dimensional measurement technologies; and secondly, directly outputting the depth data. The TOF technology does not need to obtain three-dimensional object depth data after algorithm processing like binocular vision or structured light, so that the overhead of a back-end processing platform can be fully reduced; thirdly, the anti-interference capability is strong. TOF depth calculation is not influenced by object surface gray scale characteristics, has better anti-interference stability to external interference light such as sunlight and the like which is not modulated, and is very suitable for some large-range movement occasions.
However, it should be seen that the laser radar facing unmanned driving is a very difficult technical application field, and whether the TOF camera of optical shutter type or continuous wave modulation type is applied to the field, the application field still faces many difficulties, and the limitations are as follows: firstly, the resolution of a TOF chip is low at present, and the relatively mature maximum resolution only reaches the level (320 × 240) of QVGA (quad flat graphics array video graphics array), so that when the TOF chip is applied in a large field of view, the spatial resolution cannot meet the technical requirement of unmanned scene perception; secondly, because of the limitation of the detection sensitivity of the TOF device, the field of view is necessarily compressed to a smaller range to realize the detection at a longer distance, and if the illumination power level is simply increased, the risk that the system does not meet the safety specification is higher.
Therefore, the scheme of the unmanned TOF laser radar with low cost, large view field, high distance resolution and sufficient detection distance is realized, and the key for solving the application bottleneck of the unmanned TOF laser radar in the field of the unmanned TOF is provided.

All technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Example one
The invention aims to solve the problem of realizing the field expansion of the unmanned laser radar. The invention is based on that under the condition that the visual field of the optical system is difficult to improve due to the structural design of the optical system, the observation visual field of the optical system is changed by changing the angle of a reflector in front of the optical system, and the visual field of the optical system is expanded at the expense of time sharing. The specific implementation method comprises the following steps:
a TOF camera for acquiring data of a full field of view,
an optical tracking system for controlling the TOF camera to acquire data for at least one of the partial fields of view in the full field of view data;
the optical tracking system controls the TOF camera to collect data of all the sub-fields of view in the driving period, and the TOF camera is further used for fusing the collected data of all the sub-fields of view in the driving period into full-field data corresponding to the current driving period.
The fusion of the sub-field data into the full field data is carried out according to the scanning mirror,
The optical tracking system comprises a position sensor with high sensitivity and high response speed, a fast scanning mirror and a nanoscale driving system.
After the TOF camera finishes data acquisition of a current sub-field of view, the driving system drives the scanning mirror to rotate/move according to an external control signal and the position information of the scanning mirror detected by the position sensor, so that the TOF camera acquires data of a next sub-field of view.
Specifically, the operation schematic diagram of the scanning type TOF lidar according to the invention is shown in fig. 3.
At an initial time within the drive cycle, the scan mirror is at an initial preset position, as shown in FIG. 3a, when the center of the TOF camera field of view is at the first field of view angle.
The position sensor acquires position information of the scanning mirror and transmits the position information to the TOF camera and drive system.
Laser emitted by the TOF camera is incident on the scanning mirror, is reflected and deflected by the scanning mirror and is incident in an observation scene, part of incident light is reflected back to the TOF camera through an object in the observation scene, the TOF camera receives the reflected light, and photoelectric conversion is carried out on detected light signals by combining position information of the scanning mirror to obtain first sub-view field data.
The scan mirror, controlled by a drive system, can be deflected/moved through an angle in accordance with a drive signal. After the TOF camera performs scanning and photoelectric conversion according to the position information of the scanning mirror, the driving system drives the scanning mirror to rotate/move according to an external control signal and the position information of the scanning mirror detected by the position sensor, so that the TOF camera acquires data of a next sub-field of view and records a rotation angle/movement distance of the current scanning mirror, as shown in fig. 3b, at this time, the center of the TOF camera field of view is located at a second field angle. And establishing a position matrix according to the rotation angle/moving distance of the current scanning mirror.
At this time, the position sensor acquires a new position of the scanning mirror again, and transmits and records new position information to the TOF camera and the driving system; and after receiving the new position information, the TOF camera acquires second sub-view field data.
As shown in fig. 3c, 3d, and 3e, the TOF camera sequentially acquires the remaining subfield data and establishes a corresponding position matrix.
And finally, after the acquisition of all the sub-field data in the driving period is finished, the TOF camera performs linear transformation/nonlinear transformation on all the sub-field data in the acquired driving period according to the sequentially recorded scanning mirror rotation angle/moving distance matrix to fuse the data into the full-field data corresponding to the current driving period, and outputs the data.
At this point, the TOF camera finishes the acquisition of one full field of view, enters the acquisition of the next full field of view data, and repeats the process so as to realize the rapid scanning of the full field of view target and the scene.
The drive period is the working period of the TOF camera acquiring a full field of view and full field of view data.
In order to avoid the occurrence of data blurring within the integration time, the TOF camera may scan according to the time sequence position information of the scanning mirror in coordination with the displacement, as shown in fig. 3f, where the integration time is the time for the TOF camera to acquire the view-dividing data.
Therefore, the laser radar changes the angle of the view field through the scanning mirror, expands the view field of the optical system at the cost of time sharing, and completely measures and acquires the information of objects in the observation scene to further form a space point cloud.
The TOF camera includes a TOF sensor and an optical lens.
Similar to the common laser radar, the laser radar of the invention also comprises a supporting mechanism, a flexible bearing, a base and other parts.
Preferably, the driving system comprises a signal control and processor, a driver and a control motor.
The signal control and processor fuses the position information of the scanning mirror acquired by the position sensor with an external control signal to form a control signal and provides the control signal for the driver; the driver rapidly and accurately controls the motor to operate according to the control signal; the motor runs to drive the scanning mirror to reach a preset position.
The scanning mirror is driven by a motor or a driver with resolution reaching the nanometer level, the inertia is much smaller than that of the traditional frame, the resonant frequency can be greatly improved, and the scanning mirror can be combined with a position sensor with high sensitivity and high response speed to form a high-precision optical tracking system, so that the tracking bandwidth and the response speed of the system are greatly improved, and meanwhile, the scanning mirror has extremely high angle resolution capability.
The scanning mirror control flow principle is shown in figure 4,
at the starting moment of a driving period, position information of a scanning mirror is obtained by a position sensor, a control signal is formed after the position information is fused with an external control signal and is provided for a driver, the driver quickly and accurately controls the stroke of a motor, the motor drives the scanning mirror to reach a preset position after executing actions and simultaneously feeds new position information back to the position sensor, so that the action of one period is completed, the next working period is started, so that the continuous and accurate control on the position of the scanning mirror is realized by continuous operation of a plurality of periods, the view field of a TOF camera at a certain moment is controlled, and sub-view field data at a plurality of moments are fused into full-view field data.
And the optical tracking system controls the TOF camera to acquire data of all the sub-fields of view in a driving period by using a fixed-point scanning mode, a linear scanning mode or a nonlinear scanning mode.
The fixed point scanning method is shown in fig. 5, and includes:
in thatAt the moment, the sampling starting point of a full-field-of-view working period of the laser radar is set, and the center of the field of view of the TOF camera is positioned at the first field of view
