And comparing the center coordinate data of the traffic sign with the center coordinate data, the width data and the height data of the traffic sign board, and attributing the traffic sign information to the corresponding traffic sign board information.
One traffic sign board comprises a plurality of traffic signs, specifically, whether the center coordinates of the detected traffic signs are within the circumscribed rectangle range of the traffic sign board is judged, if yes, the traffic signs are judged to belong to the traffic sign board, and corresponding traffic sign information is related to the corresponding traffic sign board information, and the process mainly comprises the following steps:

And S5, acquiring the position information of the traffic sign in the high-precision map, and adding the traffic sign information and the corresponding traffic sign information into the high-precision map information.
Specifically, the distance between the acquisition terminal and a pixel near the central point of the traffic sign is acquired by a binocular ranging method, the position information of the acquisition terminal is acquired by an RTK technology, and the position information of the traffic sign in a high-precision map is obtained after the position information and the position information are added. And finally, the traffic sign information and the corresponding traffic sign information are added into the high-precision map information to obtain the high-precision map information with detailed traffic sign information, so that the application in navigation or the automatic driving application is facilitated, the traffic sign information is associated into the corresponding traffic sign information, and then the traffic sign information and the corresponding traffic sign information are added into the high-precision map information, so that the data storage is facilitated, the positioning of the traffic sign is accurate, and the correct guidance is provided when the high-precision map information is used for navigation and other applications, so that the traffic signs belonging to the same traffic sign appear at the same position on the high-precision map and are consistent with the position of the actual traffic sign on the actual road, the correct prompt is facilitated, and the attractiveness of the high-precision map is improved.
The position information of the parallel minimum circumscribed rectangular frame of the traffic sign in the image comprises center coordinate data, width data and height data of the traffic sign; the position information of the parallel minimum circumscribed rectangle of the traffic sign in the image comprises the center coordinate data of the traffic sign;
specifically, the first step: obtaining the position information of the traffic sign board by adopting an anchor-free target detection method, wherein if the obtained central coordinates of the traffic sign board are A [ x1, y1], the width and the height are W and H respectively;
step two: since the obtained detection box is the minimum circumscribed rectangle of the traffic sign, the inside of the circumscribed rectangle may contain some other background information, and if the part is also considered as a part of the traffic sign, a certain distance measurement error may be caused. Therefore, the range of the required distance measurement is reduced, the center of the distance measurement range is the center coordinate of the traffic sign board A [ x1, y1], but the width and the height are respectively W/10 and H/10, and the distance measurement range is reduced to a certain extent;
step three: measuring pixels in the range by adopting a binocular ranging method, and averaging the pixels to be used as the relative position of the current traffic sign board;
step four: and combining the RTK information to obtain the position information of the traffic sign in the high-precision map.
Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a traffic sign information collecting system for high-precision map production according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system comprises:
s10, an image acquisition module for acquiring the traffic scene image information to be identified;
s20, a traffic sign board obtaining module for obtaining the position information of the traffic sign board in the image;
s30, a traffic sign acquisition module for acquiring the position information of the traffic sign in the image;
s40, an attribution module for judging attribution by using the position information of the traffic sign in the image and associating the traffic sign information to the corresponding traffic sign information;
and S50, a positioning module for acquiring the position information of the traffic sign in the high-precision map and adding the traffic sign information and the corresponding traffic sign information into the high-precision map information.
It should be noted that the method for detecting the deep learning target of anchor-free is adopted to simultaneously detect the traffic sign and the traffic sign in the image, and respectively acquire the position information of the parallel minimum circumscribed rectangle frame of the traffic sign in the image and the position information of the parallel minimum circumscribed rectangle of the traffic sign in the image. Specifically, the image is detected by adopting an anchor-free deep learning target detection method, and the position of the traffic sign in the image, the category of the large category and the position of the traffic sign in the image can be directly obtained at the same time, namely the position information of the parallel minimum circumscribed rectangle frame of the traffic sign in the image and the position information of the parallel minimum circumscribed rectangle of the traffic sign in the image are obtained. The current commonly used data sets for detecting traffic signs include T100 and CCTSDB, which can classify the traffic signs at the same time of detection, and the data sets are classified into a large category, that is, generally classified into a prompt sign, a warning sign and a prohibition sign. The classification of the subclasses such as steering and straight traveling requires secondary classification.
It should be noted that, due to the problem of unbalanced data sample number, more specific classification, such as a speed limit height limit sign, cannot be directly performed. The embodiment of the invention carries out classification twice, wherein the classification is carried out for the first time into three major classes, and the detailed subclass classification is carried out for the second time. Specifically, the category information of a large category of the traffic signs is obtained, the large category comprises a prompt sign, a warning sign and a prohibition sign, the category information of the large category is used as a target of the same category for detection, the detection result is used as the input of a traffic sign classifier, and the category information of a small category of the traffic signs is obtained, wherein the small category comprises speed limit, height limit, stopping prohibition and the like. Because the classification in the target detection is easily influenced by the target background, and the image after single-target detection basically only comprises the target object and a small amount of background information, the influence of the background can be effectively reduced. And for the training sample of the classifier, the corresponding data enhancement can be more conveniently obtained and carried out, and the problem of data imbalance is reduced.
It should be noted that the traffic sign board includes a plurality of traffic signs, that is, a plurality of traffic signs are located on the same traffic sign board, and in the high-precision map, it is necessary to record the traffic sign information into the corresponding traffic sign board information. This facilitates storage of high-precision map data and the aesthetic appearance of high-precision maps. Moreover, if the traffic signs on one traffic sign board are respectively positioned, it is likely that the traffic signs on the same traffic sign board are located at several places with different positions on the high-precision map due to deviation, which results in misjudgment of the user on the road section guidance. Such scattered data is also inconvenient to store.
It should be noted that, the distance between the positioning terminal and the traffic sign board is obtained by using the position information of the parallel minimum circumscribed rectangular frame of the traffic sign board in the image; the positioning terminal is the acquisition terminal. The acquisition terminal is arranged on the acquisition equipment, the positioning terminal comprises a related positioning device required by data acquisition, such as an RTK module and an IMU module, and the position information of the positioning terminal is acquired by combining a real-time dynamic carrier phase differential positioning technology and an inertial measurement unit; the position information of the positioning terminal can still be accurately obtained under the condition of weak signals.
And acquiring the position information of the traffic sign board in a high-precision map by combining the position information of the positioning terminal and the distance information between the positioning terminal and the traffic sign board. Acquiring position information of four corners of the traffic sign board, calculating the actual distance of pixels in a rectangle formed by connecting lines of the positioning terminal and the four corners by a binocular ranging method, and taking the average distance of the actual distances as the distance between the positioning terminal and the traffic sign board. It should be noted that, because the parallel minimum bounding rectangle usually includes the traffic sign and other background information, it is easy to have a large influence on the final ranging result. On the basis of target detection, the embodiment of the invention obtains four corner points of the traffic signboard in the parallel minimum circumscribed rectangle frame through key point detection, such as mtcnn and the like, calculates the actual distance of pixels in a corner point connecting line, and takes the average distance as the distance between the current traffic signboard and the positioning terminal. And finally, combining the position information of the positioning terminal and the distance between the current traffic sign board and the positioning terminal to obtain world coordinate data of the current traffic sign board, and adding high-precision map information.
Specifically, the parallel minimum external rectangular frame is outwards expanded to be a rectangular increasing frame around the central point of the rectangular minimum external rectangular frame, and the position information of the four corner points of the traffic sign board is obtained through key point detection in the rectangular increasing frame. Because the parallel minimum external rectangular frame may be tightly attached to the periphery of the traffic sign in the image, the traffic sign is not right opposite due to the influence of the photographing angle and the like, and the minimum external rectangular frame may not be capable of surrounding four corner points of the traffic sign in the image in the frame, the minimum external rectangular frame is firstly outwards expanded around the central point of the minimum external rectangular frame into a rectangular enlarged frame, and then the position information of four corner points of the traffic sign is detected, but the rectangular enlarged frame usually comprises the traffic sign and other background information, so that the final distance measurement result is easily influenced greatly. Therefore, the actual distance between the pixels in the rectangular range and the positioning terminal obtained by connecting the four corner points is used as the distance of the current traffic sign board, and the average distance of the actual distances is used as the distance of the current traffic sign board.
Specifically, the image is corrected through the position information of four corner points of the traffic sign board; performing OCR recognition on the corrected image, and detecting auxiliary character information; and associating the auxiliary text information to corresponding traffic sign information, and adding the auxiliary text information into the high-precision map information. The method comprises the steps that the traffic sign board is provided with traffic sign information and auxiliary character information, the auxiliary character information occupies a large part of the whole traffic sign board, key point detection is carried out on the basis of the traffic sign board detection, image correction is carried out through the detected key points, and the corrected image is used as an input of an RCNN to carry out OCR recognition. And associating the corresponding text information to the corresponding traffic sign information, and adding the text information to the high-precision map information.
