FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a method for processing sensor data acquisition and reception according to an embodiment of the present invention; the principle of timestamp calibration according to the present invention is explained below with reference to fig. 4:
image timestamp calibration principle:
for the Rolling Shutter camera, the image exposure timestamp is determined from three time stamps:
(1) acquiring a time when first line data Readout (one-line data read) of an image is output from a Vsync (field sync signal) signal output from an ISP (image processing unit);
(2) acquiring the current exposure time from the ISP through I2C;
(3) calculating a total Readout time interval through the effective line number and PCLK (pixel clock);
the absolute exposure time of the current frame can be calculated according to the data.
FIG. 5 is an exposure diagram of a rolling shutter image sensor OV2718 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the horizontal axis t is a time axis, the vertical axis ra is a row address axis, A-B is a single-row exposure time t1, B is a time t0 of the first Readout (reading the first row of photo-sensing chips), and B-C is a time t2 of all Readout (reading all photo-sensing chips).
T2 represents the time for reading all lines of data of the image, such as 1280 × 720 resolution, i.e., the time for reading all 720 lines of data. T3 in fig. 5 is the blanking time (Tv-blanking) of the Vsync signal, which has a short high level at the beginning of a frame of image, and is the Vsync signal, which represents the beginning of the image data transmission, and then remains low during the transmission, i.e. the blanking time. This time is not used in the calculation of the time stamp.
The time stamp of the image data sent from the sensing signal acquisition integration end (far end) (i.e. time t0 in fig. 5) is corrected at the computing platform end (near end), and the calculation formula for the correction of the exposure center point Tn is as follows:
Tn=B+(CB-BA)/2=t0+(t2-t1)/2。
description of exposure center and exposure time:
the exposure center point is the position of the frame image from the beginning to the end of the exposure at the time when the exposure center is located, that is, the exposure center point is the center time point of the frame image from the beginning to the end of the exposure. The exposure time is a time with a constant size for the Rolling Shutter, and the exposure position of each line is sequentially increased, and the exposure time is a concept with a constant size for the Global Shutter, and the exposure position of each line is the same.
In the above embodiment, for the time stamp of the image data acquired by the rolling shutter image sensor, the time stamp corresponding to the acquired image data is dynamically corrected at the computing platform according to the deviation of the line exposure time center, so as to improve the accuracy of the exposure center point of the acquired image
Since the image and the image timestamp are from two channels (GMSL (gigabit multimedia serial link) high speed channel and I2C low speed channel) to NVIDIA PX2 side, mapping of data of the two channels is required. Firstly, setting the frame rate to be 30fps, modifying the frame rate to be 25Hz after stabilization, and respectively detecting the frame rate change at the MCU end and the PX2 end, wherein the detection principle is that the time stamp between two frames is changed from 33ms to 40 ms. For OV2718, the frame rate will change gradually, 30fps- >27fps- >25fps, and the specific implementation can be confirmed by oscilloscope measurement.
IMU timestamp calibration principle:
for an IMU, configuring an IMU updating frequency as a demand frequency; after the IMU is configured to be interrupted, interruption can be generated when IMU data are generated, the MCU captures the interruption of the IMU, then the timestamp is calibrated, and then the data are read and packaged and reported.
CAN wheel speed calibration principle:
CAN wheel speed is through CAN commentaries on classics UART equipment, output 100hz data, and MCU marks timestamp information through calibration after DMA receives UART data, then encapsulates, reports wheel speed data.
GPS timestamp calibration principle:
the GPS module may use UM4B0-BOX2, which includes self differential signal calibration and data output, and outputs 3 UART interfaces, UARTA and UARTB are serial data output, and UARTC is PPS signal output, in this embodiment, PPS is output to the MCU through UARTB output data and UARTC, time service and time calibration are performed on the MCU terminal, data required by the algorithm is directly imported to the PX2 terminal through UARTA, and data reading and packaging is performed by PX 2.
The MCU analyzes the year, month, day, hour, minute and second information contained in the $ GPRMC data in the UARTB data; converting the information into the seconds from 1970-01-0100: 00:00 to the present; and then updating the second according to the PPS interruption, simultaneously resetting the MCU timer, and timing ns within the second, so that the time generated by the MCU end is ensured to be absolute time corresponding to the time output to PX2 by UARTA.
In a specific implementation, in order to implement a requirement of high real-time performance on the MCU side, the real-time performance required for the MCU to process all transactions is high, and there is no delay, which determines that an event cannot be processed in the main function, all that depends on an interrupt, where table 1 shows an interrupt list of an embodiment, where event priorities are defined to ensure timely data response.
TABLE 1 MCU interrupt priority List

I2C is used as a slave device to respond NVIDIA PX2 communication, and the priority must be set highest to ensure stable communication. The MCU side interrupts this much, ensuring shared data FIFO protection by: first, for the IMU, the data update frequency is the highest, and merge method is invoked to update data into the FIFO. In order to prevent the image timestamp data and the CAN data from frequently calling the merge method, the image timestamp data and the CAN data are marked, the image timestamp data and the CAN data are added into the merge in a buffer (cache) of the IMU when the IMU is updated, and the merge times are reduced. The I2C and IMU share FIFO is to keep the data through the double FIFO mechanism, if I2C takes the merge method in extreme cases, when IMU updates the data, it opens a Cache (fast buffer storage area) to keep the data, then updates the data into the double FIFO, and guarantees the FIFO protection of the shared data.
