Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
In the related art, the appearance of three-dimensional laser radar (also called 3D laser radar) brings convenience to accurate positioning of underground environment, and high-precision map construction and positioning application can be realized by acquiring abundant 3D environment point cloud information. In the process of implementing the invention, the inventor finds that the farther the distance of the acquisition point of the three-dimensional laser radar is, the larger the measurement error is, and the closer the distance of the acquisition point is, the smaller the measurement error is. Meanwhile, in an underground environment, the ground is not very flat, and a little shake can increase the measurement error of a long-distance data point (namely point cloud) in the moving process of the three-dimensional laser radar. In the conventional SLAM (instantaneous positioning and mapping) system, grids are generally divided for a map in the mapping process, point values in the grids are continuously weighted and updated according to the continuous increase of real-time point cloud data to obtain the mean value and the variance of the grids, the measurement error is rarely considered, and although distortion removal processing is performed on motion distortion in the LOAM, the influence of the error of the measurement on the mapping is not considered.
Based on this, in various embodiments of the present invention, in the map construction process based on the LOAM, the scanned point cloud data is corrected based on the distance between the point cloud and the scanning device, so that accurate positioning of the underground environment based on distance weight is achieved, the positioning accuracy in the underground environment can be improved, and the unmanned driving requirement of autonomous walking of underground equipment is met.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for locating an underground environment, as shown in fig. 1, including:
step 101, acquiring a characteristic point cloud of scanning point cloud data;
102, taking the pose of the previous frame as the current initial pose, performing point cloud frame-to-frame matching based on the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data of the current frame and the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data of the previous frame, and determining the current predicted pose;
and 103, matching the point cloud frame with a map to obtain a current correction pose based on the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data of the current frame, the current prediction pose and a feature map.
The feature map is generated based on a real-time Laser Odometer and A Mapping (LOAM), and scanning point cloud data is corrected based on the distance between the point cloud and scanning equipment in the construction process of the feature map.
In the embodiment of the invention, because the feature map is generated after the distance between the point cloud and the scanning equipment is corrected, the point cloud frame is matched with the map to obtain the current corrected pose based on the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data of the current frame, the current predicted pose and the feature map, the accurate positioning of the underground environment based on distance weight is realized, the positioning precision in the underground environment can be improved, and the unmanned driving requirement of the autonomous walking of underground equipment is met.
In an embodiment, the scanning device is a three-dimensional lidar. Here, the VLP-16 three-dimensional lidar is exemplified by a three-dimensional lidar manufactured by Velodyne corporation. Its vertical resolution is about 2 ° and its horizontal resolution is at most 0.4 °. A single line bundle is called a Scan, and a frame of point cloud composed of all 16 lines is called a Sweep. All point clouds in a frame are scanned in sequence and in series, and only one time of sending and one time of receiving are carried out at the same time point. Scanning the depth of all 16 points (corresponding to 16 SCANs) in the vertical direction at a horizontal first angle, generally about 0 degrees, of course, the 16 points are also in serial sequence, then turning to a next horizontal angle, for example, starting at 0.3 degrees and having a horizontal resolution of 0.4 degrees, then the next angle is 0.7 degrees and then 1.1 degrees, and completing the acquisition of Sweep data all the way clockwise, wherein the output form is (X, Y, Z, I) corresponding to each point cloud, wherein (X, Y, Z) is a three-dimensional coordinate, and I is a reflection intensity value.
Here, the underground environment positioning device obtains scanning point cloud data obtained by scanning of the three-dimensional laser radar, wherein one frame of scanning point cloud data is Sweep data acquired by scanning of the three-dimensional laser radar.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the underground environment positioning equipment acquires the scanning point cloud data, a characteristic map, a point cloud frame-to-frame matching and a point cloud frame-to-map matching positioning frame are constructed for the scanning point cloud data based on a lossless Kalman Filter (UKF), so that the accurate positioning of the underground environment is realized. The UKF is the combination of lossless transform (UT) and a standard Kalman (Kalman) filtering system, and the nonlinear system equation is suitable for the standard Kalman filtering system under the linear assumption through the lossless transform. The UKF is based on UT transformation, the traditional method of carrying out linearization on a nonlinear function is abandoned, a Kalman linear filtering frame is adopted, and for a one-step prediction equation, the UT is used for processing nonlinear transfer of a mean value and a covariance, so that the UKF algorithm is formed. The UKF approximates the probability density distribution of a nonlinear function by approximating the posterior probability density of the state with a series of deterministic samples, rather than approximating the nonlinear function, without the need for derivation to compute Jacobian matrices. The UKF ignores high-order terms without linearization, so the calculation precision of the nonlinear distribution statistic is higher.
Here, the underground environment positioning device performs noise removal on the acquired scanning point cloud data based on a clustering method, and extracts a feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data. Specifically, feature extraction may be performed on the scanning point cloud data after the noise is removed by using a feature extraction method in the LOAM to obtain a feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data, for example, extracting a point cloud corresponding to a corner map and a surface map as the feature point cloud. In other embodiments, the scanning device may perform feature extraction on the scanning point cloud data obtained by scanning to obtain a feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data, and transmit the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data to the underground environment positioning device, so that the underground environment positioning device obtains the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data.
The underground environment positioning of the UKF-based positioning frame comprises the following steps: a pose predicting stage and a pose correcting stage. The pose prediction phase is the step 102, and the pose correction phase is the step 103.
Here, the pose of the previous frame may be used as the current initial pose, and the current predicted pose may be determined by performing point cloud frame-to-frame matching based on the feature point cloud of the scan point cloud data of the current frame and the feature point cloud of the scan point cloud data of the previous frame.
In practical application, the pose state vector of the three-dimensional laser radar is defined as follows:
Figure BDA0002299802280000061
wherein p is t Three-dimensional coordinates of the three-dimensional lidar at time t, q t Is the quaternion of the three-dimensional laser radar at the time t.
The subsurface environment locating device determines a predicted pose of the three-dimensional lidar by iteratively applying the extracted feature point cloud between successive frames. Specifically, point cloud frame-to-frame (Scan to Scan) matching can be performed based on the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data of the current frame and the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data of the previous frame, so as to obtain the relative pose between the current frame and the previous frame; and obtaining the current predicted pose based on the relative pose and the pose of the previous frame.
Illustratively, the feature point cloud of the current frame acquired in real time can be matched with the feature point cloud of the previous adjacent frame to obtain the relative pose Δ x from the time t of the rescanning frame to the time t-1 of the nearest frame t-1,t =[Δp t ,Δq t ] T And simultaneously the pose of the three-dimensional laser radar at the time of t-1 in world coordinates is x t-1 And calculating the predicted pose of the three-dimensional laser radar at the time t as follows:
x t =x t-1 Δx t-1,t
in an embodiment, the performing point cloud frame and map matching based on the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data of the current frame, the current predicted pose, and the feature map to obtain the current corrected pose includes:
and matching the point cloud frame and the Map (Scan to Map) of the feature point cloud of the scanning point cloud data of the current frame with the feature Map by taking the current predicted pose as an initial value for matching the point cloud frame and the Map to obtain a registration pose, and taking the registration pose as a current correction pose. It should be noted that, in an embodiment, the current corrected pose may be used as the initial pose of the next frame. If the previous frame is the first frame, the initial position of the scanning device can be selected from the current initial pose.
In practical application, the predicted pose x is used t As an initial value of the point cloud frame and the map, obtaining the registration pose of
Figure BDA0002299802280000062
And the measured variable is used as an observation variable of the lossless Kalman filtering.
When the point cloud frame is matched with the map, the feature map is needed. Based on this, in an embodiment, the method further comprises:
carrying out map construction on the acquired scanning point cloud data based on the LOAM to obtain an initial feature map;
and giving a weight to the distance of the characteristic points to the initial characteristic map based on a distance power inverse ratio method to obtain a modified characteristic map.
Here, the mapping the acquired scanning point cloud data based on the LOAM to obtain an initial feature map includes:
matching the acquired cloud data of the scanning points based on inter-frame according to the first frequency to obtain a matching splicing pose between data of adjacent frames;
splicing the data of the adjacent frames based on the corresponding splicing pose according to the second frequency to obtain an initial angle corner map and an initial surface map;
wherein the first frequency is greater than the second frequency.
The LOAM can use a two-axis laser radar moving in a three-dimensional space to obtain low drift and low complexity, does not need a high-precision distance measurement and real-time laser odometer and a map of inertial measurement, and has the core idea that the positioning and mapping are divided through two algorithms: one is to execute high-frequency odometer but low-precision motion estimation (positioning), and obtain an ODOM (odometer) with poor precision by registering each frame of laser, because no IMU (inertial measurement unit) provides the initial POSE matched between frames, the LOAM is slightly modified, and a uniform motion model is used to calculate the splicing POSE (POSE) registered by frames; another algorithm performs matching and registering point cloud information (mapping and odometer correction) at a frequency of one order of magnitude lower, forming a feature point cloud map (i.e., the aforementioned feature map) by stitching multiple frames of laser feature point clouds based on stitching poses. Specifically, the method may include: a corner map and a surface map. Thus, two characteristic point cloud maps are established. In addition, the newly-entered frame and the characteristic point cloud map can be registered to obtain a more accurate splicing pose, and the more accurate splicing pose is spliced to obtain an updated characteristic point cloud map; the two algorithms are combined to obtain the laser odometer with high precision and real-time performance.
In the embodiment of the present invention, it is further required to assign a weight to the distance of the feature point based on the inverse distance power ratio method to obtain a modified feature map, including:
converting the initial corner map and the three-dimensional point cloud of the initial corner map into a world coordinate system and dividing the world coordinate system into three-dimensional grids;
counting the number of point clouds in each grid according to each grid, carrying out weight assignment on each point cloud based on the distance between each point cloud and a set position, and determining a coordinate corresponding to each grid;
and updating the initial corner map and the corner map according to the coordinates corresponding to the grids to obtain the corrected feature map.
In practical application, the method for obtaining the corrected feature map by giving a weight to the distance of the feature point on the basis of a distance inverse power ratio method to the feature point cloud map comprises the following steps:
step 1, converting a three-dimensional point cloud coordinate under a laser radar coordinate system into a world coordinate system according to the obtained pose information of the three-dimensional laser radar, as shown in fig. 2. Let the coordinate of the three-dimensional point under the three-dimensional laser radar coordinate system be p L =(x L ,y L ,z L ) Rotation matrix T for three-dimensional laser radar pose information WL Representing, three-dimensional point cloud coordinates p in world coordinate system W =(x W ,y W ,z W ) The following formula is satisfied:
p W =T WL ·p L
under a three-dimensional laser radar coordinate system, calculating the distance from any point in the three-dimensional point cloud to the three-dimensional laser radar coordinate origin
Figure BDA0002299802280000081
And 2, dividing the real-time conversion point cloud and the local map point cloud under the world coordinate into three-dimensional grids. When the real-time converted point cloud is first frame data, initializing a point cloud map, and only dividing the first frame converted point cloud into three-dimensional grids. In the subsequent three-dimensional laser frame, the conversion point cloud and the local map are divided into three-dimensional grids.
Counting the number n of point clouds in each grid, and measuring the measuring error of the points with long distance according to the measuring characteristics of the laser radarThe difference is relatively large, and each point is endowed with a corresponding weight according to the calculation method of the distance S from the point to the origin of the laser radar coordinate system
Figure BDA0002299802280000082
The value of p in this test is 2.
Calculating the final point coordinate p at the moment in each grid according to the converted three-dimensional point coordinates and the corresponding weights thereof WC =(x WC ,y WC ,z WC ) It satisfies the following formula:
Figure BDA0002299802280000091
according to the final point coordinate p WC =(x WC ,y WC ,z WC ) Calculating the coordinate p of the three-dimensional laser radar coordinate system LC =(x LC ,y LC ,z LC ) It satisfies the following formula:
Figure BDA0002299802280000092
and p is calculated by the following formula LC The distance from the three-dimensional laser radar coordinate origin at the moment:
Figure BDA0002299802280000093
and 3, continuously iterating the two steps according to the obtained pose and the three-dimensional point cloud information at each moment, and gradually updating the point cloud map to obtain a complete three-dimensional point cloud map (namely a corrected feature map) with small influence of point cloud noise.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the VLP-16 of Velodyne is adopted as the three-dimensional lidar, and the underground environment precise positioning framework is mainly divided into off-line distance weight point cloud map construction based on the 3D lidar and real-time precise positioning based on the distance weight point cloud map. Aiming at off-line map construction, firstly, a Cornern map and a Surface map are generated based on a LOAM, meanwhile, in the process of generating the map, according to the data acquisition characteristics of a 3D laser radar, the offset distance error of an obstacle return value which is far away and is closer to an obstacle return value is large, different weight values are given according to the distance of each point by adopting a distance power inverse ratio method, and then the generated feature map is corrected to obtain the feature map based on the LOAM and the distance power inverse ratio method. Aiming at the real-time accurate positioning based on the distance weight map, in order to ensure the subsequent processing efficiency and the positioning accuracy, firstly, noise removal is carried out based on a clustering method, and meanwhile, a feature extraction method in the LOAM is adopted to carry out feature extraction on the real-time point cloud so as to obtain a feature point cloud; secondly, real-time positioning of the underground environment is achieved based on lossless Kalman filtering. In the stage of predicting the pose, the pose is estimated mainly through point cloud inter-frame matching to obtain the predicted pose; in the stage of pose correction, point cloud frames and maps are carried out through the real-time point cloud and the constructed distance weight map, the current correction pose is obtained, the real-time accurate pose is finally output, and meanwhile, the correction pose is also used for the initial pose of the next cycle.
In practical application, the underground environment positioning method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to testing in multiple underground scenes, including a smooth-surface straight tunnel, a smooth-surface loop tunnel, a rough non-straight tunnel and a rough slope tunnel, the algorithm is proved to realize accurate positioning of the underground environment and the robustness of the algorithm through positioning error and positioning time analysis, comparative analysis is carried out on the aspects of positioning error, positioning time and the like, the positioning error can be controlled to be about 4cm, the positioning time is averagely controlled to be about 60ms, and the result shows that the algorithm can realize low-drift real-time positioning.
