Some embodiments of the invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
The angle measurement method of the millimeter wave radar provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to movable platforms such as vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly can be applied to driver assistance systems of vehicles. Dispose multichannel millimeter wave radar on the movable platform, multichannel millimeter wave radar detects the target through the frequency variation in launching millimeter wave radio signal and the analysis back wave, and usable a plurality of transmitting channel launch millimeter wave radio detection signal receives the echo signal by the target reflection through a plurality of receiving channel to acquire measured data, improved the measurement of radar efficiency. In some embodiments, the multi-channel millimeter wave radar may be a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar. Optionally, the detection signal transmitted by the transmission channel is a chirp continuous wave, such as a sawtooth wave chirp signal or a symmetric triangular wave chirp signal.
The embodiment of the invention provides an angle measuring method of a millimeter wave radar. Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an angle measurement method for a millimeter wave radar according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the angle measurement method of the millimeter wave radar in the present embodiment may include:
s101, obtaining multi-frame measurement data collected by the multichannel millimeter wave radar, wherein each frame of measurement data comprises multichannel subdata.
The main execution body of the method in this embodiment may be a signal processing unit of the multichannel millimeter wave radar, or may be a processor (for example, an onboard processor) of a movable platform carrying the multichannel millimeter wave radar, that is, the multichannel millimeter wave radar receives multiple frames of measurement data and then sends the multiple frames of measurement data to the processor of the movable platform, and the processor of the movable platform performs data processing to obtain an angle measurement result.
In this embodiment, the probe signal transmitted by the transmitting channel uses a predetermined number of chirp signals (chirp signals) as a frame of data, as shown in fig. 2, and accordingly, a predetermined number of echo signals received by the multiple receiving channels can be used as a frame of measurement data, that is, each frame of measurement data includes sub-data of multiple channels.
And S102, acquiring multi-channel target distance information and target speed information according to each frame of measurement data.
In this embodiment, the measurement data of the millimeter wave radar generally includes two-dimensional information, that is, target distance information and target speed information, and the multi-channel target distance information and target speed information may be obtained by performing two-dimensional fourier transform on the distance dimension and the speed dimension on each frame of measurement data.
Specifically, for any frame of measurement data, performing two-dimensional Fourier transform on the subdata of each channel of the measurement data respectively to obtain single-channel target distance information and single-channel target speed information; and acquiring multi-channel target distance information and target speed information according to the target distance information and the target speed information of each channel.
In this embodiment, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is performed on the sub-data of each channel in the distance dimension, which is equivalent to performing focusing on the distance dimension on the signal, and target distance information can be obtained; because one frame of measurement data comprises a plurality of frequency modulation continuous wave signals which form data of speed dimension, after the data is subjected to fast Fourier transform, a two-dimensional result of distance and speed can be obtained, wherein the abscissa and the ordinate are the distance and the speed respectively, and target distance information and target speed information can be obtained from the two-dimensional result of the distance and the speed.
Step S103, performing multi-frame superposition processing according to multi-channel target distance information and target speed information of multi-frame measurement data with preset frame numbers, and obtaining an angle measurement result.
In the embodiment, multi-frame superposition processing is performed by combining multi-frame measurement data, that is, the angle measurement result is obtained according to multi-channel target distance information and target speed information of multi-frame measurement data with preset frames, and the angle measurement result is less influenced by the single-frame data, so that the influence of an error of the single-frame measurement data generated by noise on the angle measurement result is reduced, and the angle measurement precision and the robustness of the millimeter wave radar are improved. The multi-frame measurement data with the preset frame number is adjacent multi-frame measurement data.
In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the performing multi-frame stacking processing according to the target distance information and the target speed information of multiple channels of the multi-frame measurement data with preset number of frames in step S103 to obtain the angle measurement result may specifically include:
step S201, acquiring a beam forming result according to multi-channel target distance information and target speed information of each frame of measurement data;
step S202, performing incoherent superposition on the beam forming result corresponding to the multi-frame measurement data with the preset frame number, obtaining the peak position in the incoherent superposition result, and taking the angle corresponding to the peak position as the angle measurement result.
In this embodiment, a beam forming result can be obtained by performing beam forming on multi-channel target distance information and target speed information of a frame of measurement data, where the beam forming process is a conventional beam forming method and is not described herein again. After the beam forming result of each frame is obtained, performing incoherent superposition on the beam forming results of the multi-frame measurement data with preset frame numbers, namely summing amplitudes corresponding to the same angle in the multiple beam forming results to further obtain an incoherent superposition result, wherein in the incoherent superposition result, the angle corresponding to the peak position is used as the angle measurement result. In the prior art, when only an angle corresponding to a peak position in a beam forming result of a single-frame measurement result is used as an angle measurement result, single-frame measurement data is easily affected by noise due to low angle resolution, the beam forming result of the single-frame measurement data has a certain error under the influence of the noise, and the accuracy and robustness of the angle measurement result obtained only according to the single-frame measurement data are poor; in the method, the beam forming results of the multi-frame measurement data are subjected to incoherent superposition, and even if an error exists in a certain wave velocity forming result, the influence on the incoherent superposition result is small, so that the signal-to-noise ratio is improved, and the accuracy and the robustness of angle measurement are improved.
In another alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the performing multi-frame superposition processing on the target distance information and the target speed information of multiple channels of the multi-frame measurement data with preset number of frames in step S103 to obtain the angle measurement result specifically may include:
s301, acquiring snapshot data according to multi-channel target distance information and target speed information of each frame of measurement data;
step S302, performing spectrum estimation on snap-shot data delivery corresponding to the multi-frame measurement data with the preset frame number, acquiring a peak position in a spectrum estimation result, and taking an angle corresponding to the peak position as the angle measurement result.
In this embodiment, snapshot data may be obtained according to target distance information and target speed information of multiple channels of each frame of measurement data, so that multiple frames of measurement data may obtain multiple pieces of snapshot data, and a spectrum estimation result, that is, an energy distribution (power spectrum) of a signal in each direction of a space may be obtained by performing spectrum estimation on the snapshot data, where a spectrum estimation process may adopt a conventional method and is not described herein again. And taking the angle corresponding to the peak position as the angle measurement result by acquiring the peak position in the spectrum estimation result. In the embodiment, the number of snapshot data is increased, so that the influence on the angle measurement result is avoided to be large when an error exists in certain snapshot data, and the precision and robustness of angle measurement through spectrum estimation are improved.
In the angle measurement method for the millimeter wave radar provided by the embodiment, multiple frames of measurement data collected by a multichannel millimeter wave radar are obtained, wherein each frame of measurement data comprises multichannel sub-data; acquiring multi-channel target distance information and target speed information according to each frame of measurement data; and obtaining an angle measurement result according to the multi-channel target distance information and the target speed information of the multi-frame measurement data with preset frame numbers. The embodiment carries out angle measurement by combining multi-frame measurement data, can avoid great influence on an angle measurement result caused by errors of single-frame measurement data, and can improve the angle measurement precision and robustness of the millimeter wave radar.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the angle measurement method of the millimeter wave radar may further include:
and determining the preset frame number according to the resolution unit and/or the target speed of the multichannel millimeter wave radar.
In this embodiment, since the angle measurement result needs to be obtained by combining the multi-frame measurement data with the preset frame number, the angle of the target object changes in real time, and the multi-frame measurement data is time-efficient, if the angle of the target object is changed greatly when the first frame measurement data is obtained relative to the angle of the target object when the last frame measurement data is obtained in the multi-frame measurement data with the preset frame number, the error of the angle measurement result is likely to be large, and therefore a proper preset frame number needs to be determined, and the error of the large angle measurement result caused by the above situation is avoided. In the above situation, it can be seen that, if the moving speed of the target object is greater, the preset number of frames can be reduced; in addition, if the resolution of the millimeter wave radar is high (the resolution unit is small), the target object can be detected with a small angle change, and the preset frame number also needs to be reduced.
On the basis of any one of the above embodiments, after acquiring the multi-frame measurement data acquired by the multichannel millimeter wave radar, the method further includes:
and for any frame of measurement data, performing amplitude-phase consistency correction on the subdata of each channel.
In this embodiment, due to discreteness and nonlinearity of radio frequency devices such as the whole receiving channel (including high-level amplifier, mixer, and medium-level amplifier) of the multichannel millimeter wave radar or due to changes in time, temperature, and environment and aging of the devices, characteristics of the receiving channels may be inconsistent, so that amplitude and phase errors exist between the multiple receiving channels, and radar angle measurement accuracy and anti-interference capability are reduced.
Further, as shown in fig. 5, the performing amplitude-phase consistency correction on the sub-data of each channel may specifically include:
step S401, taking any one of multiple channels as a reference channel, and acquiring the amplitude difference and the phase difference of each of the other channels relative to the reference channel;
step S402, obtaining amplitude-phase difference parameters of each channel relative to the reference channel according to the amplitude difference and the phase difference of each other channel relative to the reference channel, and performing amplitude-phase consistency correction on the subdata of each channel according to the amplitude-phase difference parameters.
In this embodiment, a reference channel is first determined from a plurality of receiving channels, where the reference channel may be any one of the plurality of receiving channels, and then an amplitude difference and a phase difference of each of the remaining channels with respect to the reference channel may be obtained by comparing amplitudes and phases of the remaining channels with the reference channel, and further, for any one of the remaining channels, an amplitude-phase difference parameter of each of the remaining channels with respect to the reference channel may be obtained according to the amplitude difference and the phase difference between the channel and the reference channel, and then amplitude-phase compensation is performed on sub-data of the channel according to the amplitude-phase difference parameter, so that the sub-data of the channel and the sub-data of the reference channel keep consistent in amplitude and phase.
Specifically, assume that the subdata of the channel n is s, and the amplitude difference between the channel and the reference channel is ρnWith a phase difference of

Obtaining a magnitude-phase difference parameter through the following formula:

performing amplitude-phase compensation on the subdata s of the channel n by the following formula:
Figure BDA0002467090960000072
by carrying out amplitude-phase consistency correction on each channel, the amplitude and phase of the subdata of the plurality of channels can be kept consistent, and the angle measurement precision of the multichannel millimeter wave radar can be further improved.
