Description

Vehicle-mounted millimeter wave radar occlusion detection method and system based on dynamic CFAR
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted information, in particular to a vehicle-mounted millimeter wave radar shielding detection method and system based on dynamic CFAR.
Background
The millimeter Wave radar has the characteristics of small volume, light weight, high spatial resolution, all-weather (except heavy rainy days) all-day time and the like, and particularly for Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars, because of the advantages of no blind area in ranging, easiness in realizing miniaturization and the like, the millimeter Wave radar is favored in the automobile field and becomes one of important devices for the automobile to sense the surrounding environment. However, in the use process of vehicle-mounted millimeter wave radar for loading, because the vehicle body part on the electromagnetic wave propagation path is easily covered by wet snow, sludge or other objects, the radar is characterized as being shielded, and further the detection performance of the radar on the target is damaged, when the radar is seriously shielded, the radar completely loses the detection capability on the surrounding environment target, so that the radar system cannot provide wrong environment perception information and decision for the vehicle, and the driving danger exists. In order to solve the problem, a commonly used and easily implemented occlusion detection algorithm is to perform CFAR target detection on a frame of radar echo, count the number of points detected by a Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) in a velocity dimension (doppler dimension near a vehicle speed) of an absolute stationary object, compare the number of the detected points with a preset threshold number, if the number of the detected points is greater than the preset threshold, determine that the radar is not occluded, otherwise determine that the radar is occluded, and directly display a determination result of the frame as a final result of the occlusion detection. The method is simple, but the setting of the threshold required by the occlusion detection judgment is greatly influenced by the fluctuation of the radar signal quality and the radar system stability, and even if the fluctuation has no obvious influence on the target detection function of the system, the CFAR point number is possibly out of the range divided by the threshold, so that the occlusion detection fails. Secondly, in each occlusion detection output result, the time period of data for analysis is short, the statistical quantity is small, and the numerical value of the CFAR point is not representative. Thirdly, for some special environments, such as open scenes, the number of absolute stationary targets which can be detected by the millimeter wave radar in the environment is small or almost small, and even if moving targets are introduced in a certain time range, the number of absolute stationary targets in the environment is always small or almost small, so that under the condition that the targets are not blocked, the detection result is continuously blocked, and an unexpected condition of false alarm occurs. From these points, the method of comparing the number of local CFAR detection points of a single-frame echo with an absolute threshold to determine whether to block tends to make the algorithm have poor robustness, affect the final result of blocking detection, and cause a blocking detection false alarm or a blocking detection false alarm.
