Description

Laser radar echo image processing method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of image processing, in particular to a laser radar echo image processing method.
Background
Laser radar has been rapidly applied to remote measurement, terrain detection, unmanned obstacle avoidance, and the like, despite its short development time, with its unique advantages over conventional measurement techniques. The fringe principle airborne laser radar is taken as a typical representative of the laser radar, and plays an important role in the aspects of target reconnaissance, topographic mapping, underwater target imaging and the like.
At present, in the aspect of hardware, the stripe principle laser radar has already realized the rapid development; in terms of software, the development of hardware is far from pace. Especially, the preprocessing part of the original echo signal has large calculation amount and higher difficulty, and becomes an important factor for restricting the overall development of the laser radar at present.
One of the prior art solutions is to set the intensity of the fringe echo signal, and directly extract the portion with intensity exceeding the set value. The other scheme is that a special function is used for fitting the fringe signal, and fitting function information is extracted to serve as laser echo information.
Although the direct set value extraction method is convenient to implement, a preset value needs to be selected manually, and the selection of the preset value has a decisive influence on the signal extraction effect. In addition, the difference of the optimal preset values under different working conditions in the actual test process is very large, and a professional with rich experience is required to extract signals. The preset value extraction method has the problems of low extraction precision, manual participation and the like.
The function fitting method has the problems of large operation amount, low extraction efficiency and the like. And an echo signal function model needs to be obtained in advance, so that the automatic extraction of the signal is not facilitated.
Therefore, it is urgent to develop a method for accurately extracting target image information from echo signals.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The laser radar original signal can obtain laser point cloud data after information extraction, and the laser point cloud data is a unified data form for later-stage production of various digital electronic map products. The original echo signal of the laser radar is a fringe pattern due to the fringe principle. The abscissa of the bar chart represents time information of an echo signal, that is, distance information of a target; the ordinate of the image represents the spatial position information of the target, that is, the laser diverges in space, when the laser reaches the detection target after being emitted, the laser diverges in space and has a certain divergence angle, and the light rays in different directions irradiate different positions of the target, so that the divergence of the echo signal on the ordinate represents the spatial position information of the detection target. Therefore, the extraction of the stripe echo signal is the extraction of the three-dimensional position information and the surface reflection intensity information of the detection target, so that abundant information of the detection target can be obtained.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Example 1
The method (EDT) comprises the following main processes of firstly carrying out convolution processing and denoising on an original echo signal based on an edge detection theory to obtain a middle processing oscillogram, and then extracting the middle processing oscillogram by utilizing a mathematical average algorithm to obtain space target laser detection echo data. The specific flow for obtaining the waveform diagram of the middle processing is shown in fig. 1.
The laser radar echo image processing method provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
step S101: reading in an original echo oscillogram;
step S102: defining a convolution matrix and a threshold value;
for example, the convolution matrix may be
Figure BDA0001371403500000051
Wherein a isij1, (i is 1, …, N, j is 3,5,7,9), N is a natural number.
Step S103: performing convolution operation on the convolution matrix and the original echo oscillogram; comparing the operation result with the threshold value to obtain a new matrix with the same size as the original echo oscillogram;
step S104: multiplying the new matrix with the original echo oscillogram to obtain a middle processing oscillogram;
step S105: extracting the medium processing oscillogram by using a mathematical average algorithm to obtain space target laser detection echo data;
step S106: and performing image restoration on the echo data to obtain a target image.
Further, in step S101, an echo waveform map may be obtained according to the received laser detection echo scan map, and the echo map data may be stored, and after removing noise (removing noise in a laser point cloud, a point below the ground, a cloud, or a bird in flight, etc.), preliminary graphic data may be obtained, so as to obtain processable data.
Further, for the step S102: the definition of the convolution matrix generally needs to be determined according to the pixels of the original echo waveform map, and N can be selected as 1/20 of a single row of pixels of the original echo waveform map. For example, when the original echo waveform pixels are 1000 × 1000, N is 50, and the matrix is 50 × 50, as shown below. Of course N may also be 1/10 or 1/30 for a single row of pixels of the original echo waveform map. Through experimental simulation, the value selection 1/20 has a good technical effect, and a clear target image can be obtained. The convolution matrix is as follows:
convolution matrix
Figure BDA0001371403500000052
Wherein a isij=1,(i=1,…,50;j=3,5,7,9)。
Further, in step S103, the step of comparing the operation result with the threshold to obtain a new matrix having the same size as the original echo waveform map specifically includes: for the part larger than the threshold value, 1 is directly assigned at the corresponding pixel position, and for the part smaller than the threshold value, 0 is directly assigned at the corresponding pixel position, so that a new matrix with the same size as the original echo waveform map is obtained, as shown in the following matrix.
Figure BDA0001371403500000061
And multiplying the new matrix and the original echo oscillogram to obtain a middle processing oscillogram.
In the above steps, the smaller the threshold value is, the better the threshold value is, the smaller the value is, the higher the definition of the obtained graph is through the comparison operation, but the requirement on the calculation amount is also higher, therefore, the definition and the calculation amount are balanced to select a suitable threshold value range, for example, the threshold value range can be set to 1-100. Preferably, the threshold is set to 1-10. The most preferable threshold is set to 1, and in this case, the best image clarity can be obtained.
The echo signals obtained under different experimental conditions are processed, so that the output effect of the EDT method is insensitive to the characteristic values such as a matrix form, a threshold value and the like, and the automatic waveform signal extraction is favorably realized. As shown in fig. 5 and 6.
Step S104: multiplying the new matrix with the original echo oscillogram to obtain a middle processing oscillogram;
step S105: extracting the medium processing oscillogram by using a mathematical average algorithm to obtain space target laser detection echo data;
wherein, the multiplication operation of step 104 is as follows:
Figure BDA0001371403500000062
p(x,y)=f(x,y)g(m,n)=p(xm,yn) (1-2)
wherein f (x, y) is the gray value in the original image; h (x, y) represents a normalized sliding window; (M, N) is the size of the original fringe pattern; p (x, y) represents the gray value of the denoised image; g (m, n) is the gray value of the new matrix herein.
Let O be the original echo waveform diagram (consider the original echo waveform diagram as a matrix of a certain size), A be the new matrix, and B be the middle processing matrix (waveform diagram). The process can be represented as a matrix convolution
B=O*A

Wherein, the mathematical averaging algorithm in step 105 is as follows:
Figure BDA0001371403500000072
wherein IijThe gray value of each pixel point on the two-dimensional gray image is obtained.
The embodiment of the invention provides a laser radar echo image processing method, which can perfectly reserve the edge detail information of a waveform signal and filter the influence of background noise by an EDT (edge detectetionrecording) technology, thereby accurately restoring the information of a target object and ensuring the accuracy of radar detection.
The present invention applies a graphical means to the waveform signal extraction process. The method can obviously improve the processing speed of mass laser echo signals and has proved to have better signal extraction effect.
The method (EDT) provided by the invention can perfectly reserve the detail information of the waveform signal edge and can filter the influence of background noise. The comparison of the intermediate processing waveforms obtained by the method provided by the invention and the conventional wiener processing method is as follows: fig. 2 is a graph of an original fringe signal, fig. 3 is a graph of a result obtained by a wiener processing method, and fig. 4 is a graph of a processing result of an EDT method according to the present invention.

Therefore, the EDT can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the image and can also ensure that the correlation coefficient of the processed image and the original signal is higher.
