Description

Simple height measurement method suitable for vehicle millimeter wave radar
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radars, and particularly relates to a simple height measurement method suitable for a vehicle millimeter wave radar.
Background
The advanced driving assistance system (Advanced Driver Assistance System, ADAS) obtains information such as the type and the movement state of a target by performing environmental sensing through sensors such as a radar and a camera mounted on a vehicle, so that a driver can perceive possible danger in advance to draw attention and improve the active safety technology of safety.
In ADAS, mainly laser radar, millimeter wave radar and camera are used as main sensors. Laser radar is a widely applicable sensor in an automatic driving system with high resolution, but has high cost, and can be used as a sensor of a high-grade automobile. The camera has high target recognition capability and low cost, is widely applied to an automobile safe driving system, but because of passive light, the change of external light has great influence on the performance of the camera, such as the moment that the light changes drastically when a vehicle enters a garage, a tunnel or an overhead under the camera, the possibility of failure exists. In addition, the laser radar and the camera cannot guarantee reliable work in extremely severe weather such as snowfall, heavy fog and the like, and do not have all-weather working conditions. The millimeter wave radar is not influenced by external light changes and the extreme severe conditions, can work all day long and has low cost, and is an indispensable sensor in ADAS.
However, the conventional millimeter wave radar has a main problem that resolution is not high, and only two-dimensional plane measurement can be performed. However, when unmanned applications are performed, the camera and the laser radar detect three-dimensional coordinates of the target object, the traditional millimeter wave radar can only detect two-dimensional plane coordinates of the object, and when multi-sensor data fusion is performed, the contradiction that other sensors are three-dimensional coordinates and millimeter waves are plane coordinates appears. At this time, calibration and data fusion are difficult. In addition, in order to prevent false detection of some targets, such as overhead targets like overpasses, traffic lights, signboards, etc., and short targets like well covers, speed bumps, etc., during running of the vehicle, the millimeter wave radar needs to have the capability of detecting the target height. Therefore, the millimeter wave radar with high detection capability has certain reference value and great market value.

The effect of the present invention is further illustrated by the following computer simulation and measured data processing results.
1. Simulation conditions:
1) Computer environment configuration: in the simulation experiment, the computer hardware configuration environment is an Intel (R) Core (i 5-4210) 1.70GHZ central processing unit and a memory 4G, WINDOWS operating system, and MATLAB R2017b software is adopted as computer simulation software.
2) Simulation parameter setting
2a) Radar related parameters
The radar is provided with 2 transmitting antennas in the pitching dimension, the distance between the 2 transmitting antennas in the pitching dimension is 5λ, the beam directions of the two antennas are respectively 5 degrees and-5 degrees, and the detection range of the radar pitching angle is-10 degrees to 10 degrees;
2b) Target simulation parameters:
the distance of the target is r=25m, and the pitch angle isRadar mounting height h=0.5 m, target height h=3.98 m;
2. the simulation experiment of the invention has two:
simulation 1: under the condition of the simulation parameters, the simulation result of the change curve of the error function constructed by the amplitude comparison method along with the target pitch angle in the invention is shown in figure 2, and the simulation result of the change curve of the phase difference function constructed by the phase comparison method along with the target pitch angle in the invention is shown in figure 3.
Simulation 2: under the condition of the simulation parameters, when the SNR takes different values, under the condition of different SNRs, the technical scheme provided by the invention is adopted to measure the height of the target, 500 Monte Carlo simulation experiments are respectively carried out under each SNR, and the pitch angle simulation root mean square error is obtained, and the simulation result is shown in figure 4.
3. Simulation result analysis:
fig. 2 is an error function curve constructed when estimating a pitch angle of a target by using a ratio method in the invention, wherein an abscissa represents a pitch angle of the target, a unit is a degree, and an ordinate represents an amplitude ratio of two echo signals, and it can be seen from the figure that the amplitude ratio of the two echo signals approximately linearly changes along with the pitch angle of the target within a pitch angle observation range of-10 degrees to 10 degrees of the system, one echo signal amplitude ratio corresponds to one pitch angle, and in practice, the pitch angle of the target can be calculated by the echo signal amplitude ratio.
FIG. 3 is a graph of phase difference between two echo signals constructed when pitch angle of a target is estimated by a phase comparison method, wherein the abscissa represents pitch angle of the target, the unit is degree, and the ordinate represents phase difference between the two echo signals, and as can be seen from the graph, in the pitch angle observation range of the system, the phase difference function curve can be divided into 3 sections, each section is approximately a linear curve, the pitch angle no-blurring range is-5.7 degrees, the pitch angle of the target is in the interval of-10-5.7 degrees and 5.7-10 degrees, and the pitch angle estimated by the phase comparison method can be blurred to the interval of-5.7 degrees, so that the ambiguity needs to be solved.
Fig. 4 is a graph showing the variation of the root mean square error of the pitch angle of the target estimated by the proportional phase angle and the proportional amplitude solution with the signal to noise ratio, and a graph showing the variation of the root mean square error of the pitch angle of the target estimated by the proportional amplitude method alone with the signal to noise ratio. The abscissa represents the signal-to-noise ratio in decibels and the ordinate represents the root mean square error of the pitch angle of the target in degrees. As can be seen from fig. 4, the root mean square error of the pitch angle in both methods is reduced along with the improvement of the signal to noise ratio, and the root mean square error of the pitch angle estimated by adopting the technical scheme provided by the invention is obviously smaller than that estimated by the near amplitude comparison method, and when the signal to noise ratio is higher than 15 db, the root mean square error of the pitch angle estimated by the invention is smaller, and the estimated value is more accurate.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention.
