As shown in fig. 1, the system may include at least a point cloud obtainer 110, at least one processing device 120, and an alarm device 130.
The functions of the components or devices of the system 100 for providing a vehicle collision warning and the connection relationship between the components will now be described:

The embodiment of the invention provides a novel vehicle collision early warning system which comprises a point cloud acquirer, at least one processing device and an alarm device, wherein the point cloud acquirer is used for acquiring a plurality of point clouds in a road scene in the driving process of a motor vehicle; at least one processing device for determining a ground plane in the road scene based on the plurality of point clouds output by the point cloud obtainer; generating a plurality of three-dimensional vehicle early warning areas on a ground plane according to a preset vehicle size; dividing a first geometric body containing a plurality of point clouds into a set of a specified number of second geometric bodies, and determining one or more second geometric bodies contained in each three-dimensional vehicle early warning area; determining whether to send out vehicle collision early warning aiming at the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area or not according to one or more second geometric bodies contained in each three-dimensional vehicle early warning area; and the warning device is used for sending out the vehicle collision warning in a preset mode when the at least one processing device determines that the vehicle collision warning is sent out aiming at the three-dimensional vehicle warning area. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention utilizes the prior knowledge that the vehicle is positioned near the ground level and the template with the known vehicle size to generate a plurality of three-dimensional vehicle early warning areas on the ground level, and further determines whether to send out vehicle collision early warning aiming at the three-dimensional vehicle early warning areas or not based on the point cloud contained in each three-dimensional vehicle early warning area, thereby rapidly and accurately identifying and positioning the vehicle in the road scene and sending out vehicle collision early warning.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the point cloud obtainer 110 mentioned above may be installed in a motor vehicle to obtain a plurality of point clouds in a road scene during driving of the motor vehicle. The point cloud acquirer 110 may be a laser radar, a binocular camera, or a combination of a laser radar and a binocular camera.
The laser radar is one of important sensors for acquiring external information of the intelligent vehicle, has the advantages of high reliability and real-time performance, high accuracy and the like, and is widely applied to the environmental perception research of the intelligent vehicle. The radar has a plurality of laser sensors, each of which measures discrete data points, which may be expressed as Pi (x, y, z, s), x, y, z respectively representing a three-dimensional physical distance in meters, s representing a reflection intensity, as a dimensionless value. The point cloud data is a large-scale set of discrete measurement point data { P1, P2, P3.., PN }, which provides sufficient information for the basic shape features and structural details of the reduction-type measurement object. When the point cloud acquirer 110 is a laser radar, the laser radar may acquire a plurality of point clouds in a road scene during the driving process of the motor vehicle, and may acquire a three-dimensional coordinate (XYZ) and a laser reflection Intensity (Intensity) of the point clouds.
The binocular camera is characterized in that two cameras are placed on the same plane to shoot a target object to obtain a plurality of groups of corresponding object image pairs, and the cameras and the object accord with the triangulation principle, and meanwhile, the three-dimensional information of the object is calculated by adopting the parallax of corresponding points, so that the three-dimensional point cloud data of the object is obtained. When the point cloud acquirer 110 is a binocular camera, a plurality of images in a road scene can be captured during the driving process of the motor vehicle, a plurality of point clouds can be acquired from the plurality of images, and the three-dimensional coordinates (XYZ) and the color information (RGB) of the point clouds can be acquired.
When the point cloud acquirer 110 is a combination of a laser radar and a binocular camera, three-dimensional coordinates (XYZ), laser reflection Intensity (Intensity), and color information (RGB) of the point cloud may be obtained.
In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when determining the ground plane in the road scene, the at least one processing device 120 may determine, through a RANdom Sample Consensus (RANdom Sample Consensus) algorithm, a point cloud belonging to the ground plane in the road scene from among the plurality of point clouds, and further determine the ground plane in the road scene.
RANSAC can iteratively estimate the parameters of the mathematical model from a set of observed data sets containing "outliers". It is an uncertain algorithm with a certain probability to get a reasonable result. The basic assumptions of RANSAC are:
(1) the data consists of "local points", for example: the distribution of the data can be interpreted with some model parameters;
(2) "outliers" are data that cannot fit into the model;
(3) the data beyond this is noise.
The reasons for the occurrence of the out-of-office points are: extreme values of noise, wrong measurement methods, wrong assumptions on the data. RANSAC also makes the following assumptions: given a set of (usually small) local points, there is a process that can estimate the parameters of a model that can be interpreted or adapted to the local points.
The input to the RANSAC algorithm is a set of observations, a parameterized model that can be interpreted or adapted to the observations, some trusted parameters. RANSAC achieves this goal by iteratively selecting a set of random subsets in the data. The selected subset is assumed to be an in-office point and verified by the following method:
1) a model is adapted to the assumed local interior point, that is, all unknown parameters can be calculated from the assumed local interior point;
2) testing all other data with the model obtained in 1), and if a certain point is suitable for the estimated model, considering it to be an in-office point;
3) if enough points are classified as the assumed intra-office points, the estimated model is reasonable enough;
4) then, all the assumed intra-office points are used to re-estimate the model, since it is estimated only by the initial assumed intra-office points;
5) finally, the model is evaluated by estimating the error rate of the local interior point and the model.
This process is repeated a fixed number of times, each time the resulting model is either discarded because there are too few local points or selected for use because it is better than the existing models.
In the embodiment of the invention, a large amount of point clouds in the input point cloud data belong to a ground plane, and the ground plane can be estimated robustly by using the RANSAC algorithm. Ground plane pi ═ (a, b, c, d)TThe reference coordinate system is an observation coordinate system which takes the sensor as the center through the parameterized representation of the four-dimensional vector.
In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when the at least one processing device 120 generates the plurality of three-dimensional vehicle warning regions on the ground plane according to the preset vehicle size, the plurality of three-dimensional regions may be randomly generated on the ground plane according to the preset vehicle size, where the three-dimensional regions are determined by the designated parameters; and then selecting a three-dimensional area with a distance less than a specified distance from the motor vehicle from the plurality of three-dimensional areas as a three-dimensional vehicle early warning area. The specified parameter here may be a three-dimensional coordinate of the center of the vehicle, a size of the vehicle, an orientation angle of the vehicle on the ground plane, and the like, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
Specifically, according to a preset vehicle size, when a plurality of three-dimensional regions are randomly generated on a ground plane, under a natural lane scene, assuming that vehicles are all located near a road surface (i.e., the ground plane) (without considering the extreme conditions of suspended vehicles and the like), a size template (length, width and height) of the vehicle is input according to a known vehicle type, slight disturbance is made near the road surface, and meanwhile, possible orientation angles of the vehicle template are traversed, so that M possible three-dimensional regions can be obtained, and the three-dimensional regions can be determined by 7 parameters (x, y, z, l, w, h, theta), wherein (x, y, z) represents three-dimensional coordinates of the center of the vehicle; (l, w, h) are length, width and height templates of the vehicle; θ represents the orientation angle of the vehicle on the horizontal plane.
In addition, in another optional embodiment of the invention, the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area can be selected from a plurality of three-dimensional areas by combining the information of the size, the speed, the direction and the like of the motor vehicle.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the at least one processing device 120 may discretize the rectangular solid including the plurality of point clouds at fixed intervals into a set of a specified number of cubes when dividing the first geometry including the plurality of point clouds into a set of a specified number of second geometries. Specifically, a cuboid containing all input three-dimensional point clouds is discretized at fixed intervals and divided into a plurality of small cube sets, and then for the M three-dimensional vehicle early warning areas obtained above, each three-dimensional vehicle early warning area corresponds to a plurality of small cube sets in the area. Here, the specified number may be set according to actual requirements, for example, a larger specified number is set if it is necessary to divide a smaller cube.
After one or more second geometric objects included in each three-dimensional vehicle early warning area are obtained, because each second geometric object includes at least one point cloud in a road scene, the at least one processing device 120 may determine the characteristics of each three-dimensional vehicle early warning area according to the one or more second geometric objects included in each three-dimensional vehicle early warning area, and may further identify and locate vehicles in the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area according to the characteristics of each three-dimensional vehicle early warning area, and determine whether to issue a vehicle collision early warning for the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area. The characteristic of the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area may be the number of point clouds, the average height of the point clouds, the ratio of the number of the point clouds to the upper and lower sides, and the like, which are contained in the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area, and the invention is not limited thereto. In the optional embodiment of the invention, the characteristics of each three-dimensional vehicle early warning area can be calculated by using the three-dimensional integral map, the calculation complexity is O (1), the calculation amount is saved, and the characteristics of a large number of three-dimensional vehicle early warning areas can be quickly calculated.
Further, the at least one processing device 120 may identify and locate vehicles in the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area according to the number of point clouds included in the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area, and determine whether to issue a vehicle collision early warning for the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area; or identifying and positioning the vehicles in the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area according to the average height of the point cloud contained in the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area, and determining whether to send out vehicle collision early warning aiming at the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area; or identifying and positioning the vehicles in the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area by combining the number of point clouds and the average height of the point clouds in the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area, and determining whether to send out vehicle collision early warning aiming at the three-dimensional vehicle early warning area. Here, the number of point clouds and the average height of the point clouds included in each three-dimensional vehicle early warning region may be summed and weighted according to a specified weight to obtain a comprehensive score value of each three-dimensional vehicle early warning region, and then whether to issue a vehicle collision early warning for the three-dimensional vehicle early warning region is determined according to the comprehensive score value of each three-dimensional vehicle early warning region, for example, when the comprehensive score value is greater than a specified threshold, it is determined to issue a vehicle collision early warning for the three-dimensional vehicle early warning region. The specified threshold value can be set according to actual requirements, and the invention is not limited to this.
When the at least one processing device 120 determines that a vehicle collision warning is issued for the three-dimensional vehicle warning region, the warning device 130 issues the vehicle collision warning in a preset manner. The preset mode may be voice, or a combination of voice and image, etc., and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The system for providing vehicle collision early warning provided by the embodiment of the invention is a real-time system, and can be applied to the driving process of a motor vehicle, wherein the point cloud acquirer 110 acquires a plurality of point clouds in a road scene in real time; the at least one processing device 120 can perform real-time processing to determine whether to issue a vehicle collision warning for each of the three-dimensional vehicle warning areas. When the at least one processing device 120 determines that a vehicle collision warning is issued for the three-dimensional vehicle warning region, the warning device 130 issues the vehicle collision warning in a form of voice, image, or the like.
Based on the same inventive concept, as shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an on-board device 200, including the system 100 for providing a vehicle collision warning as described in any one of the above.
