Referring to fig. 2, a first embodiment of the terahertz-based environment sensing method according to the present invention provides a terahertz-based environment sensing method, including:
step S10, acquiring first environmental data detected by the terahertz radar and second environmental data detected by a preset sensor;
the present embodiment is applied to an automatic driving system of an unmanned vehicle. Terahertz (THz) waves refer to electromagnetic waves with frequencies in the range of 100GHz to 10THz, and are between millimeter waves and infrared light. The terahertz wave has the characteristics of strong penetrability, high use safety, good directionality, high bandwidth and the like. Based on the characteristics of terahertz, compared with the radar of a common microwave band, the terahertz radar has stronger penetrating capability and can penetrate through obstacles such as cloud smoke, building materials and the like to carry out target detection. According to the embodiment, the terahertz radar is installed on the unmanned vehicle, and the environment perception of the road section shielded by the shielding object is realized by combining other vehicle-mounted sensors (which can be sensors such as a camera, a millimeter wave radar and a laser radar) installed on the unmanned vehicle. Sensors such as cameras, millimeter wave radars, laser radars, etc. may detect the visible region.
First, first environment data detected by a terahertz radar and second environment data detected by a preset sensor are acquired.
The preset sensor is a vehicle-mounted sensor installed on the unmanned vehicle, except for the terahertz radar, and can be a camera, a millimeter wave radar, a laser radar and other sensors, or a combination of one or more than two of the sensors (more than one, including the number). The present embodiment takes the millimeter wave radar as an example of the preset sensor. The millimeter wave radar is a radar which works in a millimeter wave band (millimeter wave) for detection, has the advantages of wide detection range, small influence of weather and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of automatic driving and the like, and the millimeter wave radar in the embodiment can be a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) millimeter wave radar. And the automatic driving system of the unmanned vehicle is respectively in communication connection with the terahertz radar and the millimeter wave radar.
Specifically, when the unmanned vehicle is started, the automatic driving system enables the terahertz radar and the millimeter wave radar to detect the environment around the unmanned vehicle, and during the running process of the unmanned vehicle, the automatic driving system acquires data (defined as first data) detected by the terahertz radar and data (defined as second data) detected by the millimeter wave radar in real time or at regular time. The first data detected by the terahertz radar comprise three-dimensional point cloud data of objects in a visible area and an invisible area around the unmanned vehicle, and the second data detected by the millimeter wave radar comprise three-dimensional point cloud data of objects in the visible area around the unmanned vehicle.
Step S20, fusing the first data and the second data to determine an invisible target of an invisible area;
and then, fusing the first data detected by the terahertz radar and the second data detected by the millimeter wave radar. Specifically, an ROI (region of interest) is extracted from first data detected by the terahertz radar and an ROI (second region of interest) is extracted from second data detected by the millimeter wave radar, the first region of interest and the second region of interest are compared to segment an invisible region, and then dynamic targets (defined as invisible targets) such as pedestrians and vehicles are identified from the invisible region.
Step S30, determining a motion state of the invisible target based on the first data detected by the terahertz radar.
In this embodiment, the first data detected by the terahertz radar further includes velocity data of an invisible target. After the invisible target of the invisible area is determined, the speed of the invisible target is extracted from the first data detected by the terahertz radar, and then the motion track of the invisible target is predicted according to the speed of the invisible target, so that a corresponding driving decision is made to control the safe driving of the unmanned vehicle, and the occurrence of collision accidents is avoided.
The application scenario of this embodiment may be: when the unmanned vehicle enters a road section shielded by a high building, an automatic driving system of the unmanned vehicle acquires three-dimensional point cloud data including objects in a visible region and an invisible region detected by a terahertz radar and three-dimensional point cloud data of the objects in the visible region detected by a millimeter wave radar, then the data detected by the terahertz radar and the data detected by the millimeter wave radar are fused to determine the invisible region, then dynamic targets such as vehicles and pedestrians are identified from the invisible region, the motion tracks of the dynamic targets such as the vehicles and the pedestrians are further predicted, then a corresponding driving decision is made based on the predicted motion tracks of the dynamic targets such as the vehicles and the pedestrians, and the safe driving of the unmanned vehicle is controlled.
In the embodiment, first data detected by a terahertz radar and second data detected by a preset sensor are acquired; fusing the first data and the second data to determine an invisible target of an invisible area; determining a motion state of the invisible target based on the first data detected by the terahertz radar. Through the mode, based on the characteristic that the terahertz radar can penetrate through obstacles such as cloud smoke, building materials and the like to perform target detection, the data including the visible region and the invisible region detected by the terahertz radar are fused with the data of the visible region detected by the preset sensor to determine the invisible target of the invisible region, the motion state of the invisible target is further determined, the corresponding driving decision is made to control the driving of the unmanned vehicle, the occurrence of collision accidents is avoided, and therefore the safe driving of the unmanned vehicle is guaranteed.
Further, referring to fig. 3, a second embodiment of the terahertz-based environment sensing method according to the present invention provides a terahertz-based environment sensing method, and based on the above embodiment shown in fig. 2, step S20 may include:
step S21, extracting a first region of interest from the first data and a second region of interest from the second data, respectively;
step S22, comparing the first region of interest with the second region of interest, and segmenting an invisible region from the first region of interest;
and step S23, identifying invisible objects from the invisible area.
According to the first embodiment, after the unmanned vehicle acquires the first data detected by the terahertz radar and the second data detected by the millimeter wave radar, the two data need to be fused. Specifically, a first region of interest is extracted from first data detected by the terahertz radar and a second region of interest is extracted from second data detected by the millimeter wave radar, the first region of interest includes a region where an object in the visible region is located and a region where an invisible object in the invisible region is located, and the second region of interest includes a region where an object in the visible region is located. Further, the first region of interest is compared with the second region of interest, so that a region in the first region of interest, which is a region where the object is located in the visible region, is determined, then a region outside the overlapping region, which is a region where the object is located in the invisible region, is segmented from the first region of interest, and the invisible target is identified from the region. Specifically, step S23 may include:
and step S230, carrying out invisible target identification on the invisible area by adopting a convolutional neural network based on deep learning, and identifying an invisible target, wherein the convolutional neural network based on deep learning is a model which is obtained by training in advance and is used for identifying the invisible target.
Step S230 may include:
step S231, extracting the features of the invisible area to obtain a feature vector;
and step S232, inputting the feature vectors into a convolutional neural network based on deep learning, and identifying invisible targets.
In this embodiment, after the invisible region is segmented from the first region of interest, the invisible target can be identified from the invisible region by an algorithm of a deep learning neural network. The learning method of Deep learning can be divided into unsupervised learning and supervised learning, wherein the unsupervised learning comprises Deep Belief Networks (DBN), and the supervised learning comprises Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), a variant of artificial neural networks, are a multi-layered perceptron (MLP), and have become an efficient identification method.
The embodiment adopts a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to identify invisible areas. The convolutional neural network is a model trained in advance for identifying invisible targets. The training of the convolutional neural network comprises the steps of calculating a convolutional characteristic value and a loss function value, specifically, samples such as pedestrians and vehicles are input into a convolutional layer of the convolutional neural network to be trained for processing to obtain the convolutional characteristic value, then the convolutional characteristic value is input into a loss function layer of the convolutional neural network to be trained for loss function calculation to obtain the loss function value, when the loss function value is smaller than the convolutional characteristic value, the convolutional layer is adjusted, the convolutional characteristic value and the loss function value are calculated in an iterative mode until the iteration number reaches a certain number (for example, 300 ten thousand), and the convolutional neural network can be obtained.
When the convolutional neural network is adopted to identify the invisible area, firstly, the feature extraction is carried out on the invisible area to obtain a feature vector, the feature vector is input into the trained convolutional neural network, and then an identification result can be obtained to identify invisible targets such as vehicles, pedestrians and the like in the invisible area.
In the implementation, the first data detected by the terahertz radar and the second data detected by the millimeter wave radar are fused, so that the invisible area is segmented from the first data detected by the terahertz radar, invisible targets such as pedestrians and vehicles are identified from the segmented invisible area, and a foundation is laid for the subsequent prediction of the motion trail of the invisible targets such as the pedestrians and the vehicles.
Further, referring to fig. 4, a third embodiment of the terahertz-based environmental sensing method according to the present invention provides a terahertz-based environmental sensing method, and based on the embodiments shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, step S30 may include:
step S31, extracting speed data of an invisible object from the first data;
step S32, determining a motion state of the invisible object based on the velocity data of the invisible object.
Wherein, the step S32 may include:
and step S320, inputting the speed data of the invisible target into a preset mathematical model to obtain the motion state of the invisible target.
In this embodiment, the first data detected by the terahertz radar further includes velocity data of the object. Based on the embodiment, after the invisible target is identified from the invisible area, the speed data corresponding to the invisible target is extracted from the first data detected by the terahertz radar, and then the speed data is input into a preset mathematical model for predicting the motion state of the object, so that the motion track of the invisible target is predicted, namely, the invisible target is tracked. The mathematical model may be a kalman filter model or a particle filter model.
Kalman filtering (Kalman filtering) is an algorithm for performing optimal estimation on a system state by inputting and outputting observation data through a system using a linear system state equation, and since the observation data includes the influence of noise and interference in the system, the optimal estimation can also be regarded as a filtering process. Taking the speed data of the pedestrian detected by the Hertz radar as an example, the position of the pedestrian at the next moment can be predicted by presetting a Kalman filtering model, and the motion state of the pedestrian is obtained.
Particle filter (Particle filter) is a process of approximating a probability density function by searching a group of random samples propagating in a state space, and substituting an integral operation with a sample mean value to further obtain a minimum variance estimation of a system state, wherein the samples are vividly called as 'particles', so that the samples are called as Particle filter. The particle filter model uses a set of samples, i.e. particles, at each time point to represent the distribution. By means of the particle filter model, the particle set St +1 at the next time instant can be recursively estimated on the basis of the current time estimate St. The pedestrian speed data detected by the Hertz radar is taken as an example, the speed at the current moment is input into the particle filter model, the speed of the pedestrian at the next moment can be predicted, and the motion state of the pedestrian is obtained.
In more implementations, the motion trajectory of the invisible target can also be predicted by presetting an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) model, an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) model, and the like.
In this embodiment, after the invisible region is identified, the invisible target is further tracked for the automatic driving system to determine the corresponding driving strategy.
Further, referring to fig. 5, a fourth embodiment of the terahertz-based environmental sensing method according to the present invention provides a terahertz-based environmental sensing method, which, based on the embodiments shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, after step S30, may include:
step S40, acquiring the motion state of the unmanned vehicle;
