Description

Multi-path side laser radar point cloud registration device and using method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a multi-path side laser radar three-dimensional point cloud registration device and a use method thereof, belonging to the technical field of traffic engineering.
Background
The laser radar is used for ranging a target by emitting and receiving laser beams, so that the characteristics of the target, such as speed, position, shape and the like, are obtained, and the characteristics are presented in a point cloud form, so that the target is identified and tracked. The laser radar is widely applied to intelligent traffic systems, such as unmanned driving, intelligent detection, car networking technologies and the like. With the gradual reduction of the price of the laser radar, the installation mode of the laser radar is developed towards the roadside static arrangement direction from the traditional installation modes such as airborne arrangement, vehicle-mounted arrangement and the like. The laser radar installed on the roadside can be permanently arranged on a telegraph pole and a traffic signal lamp post, and can also be arranged on a tripod as a temporary data acquisition method. These lidar deployed on the road side are commonly referred to collectively as road side lidar.
One of the main uses of the roadside lidar is to collect real-time high-precision travel tracks of all road users in real time. After the collected point cloud is subjected to data processing, high-precision track data such as speed, acceleration, driving direction and the like of a road user can be extracted. However, since the detection range of one lidar is limited, in order to acquire the travel track of a road user in a large range, a plurality of lidars must be arranged along the road to continuously track the target. However, each lidar uses a local coordinate system with itself as the origin, which prevents the same target from being continuously tracked in multiple roadside lidar. In order to solve the problem, the position registration of a plurality of roadside laser radars is required, and point cloud data acquired by different laser radars are fused, namely three-dimensional point cloud registration.
The final goal of three-dimensional point cloud registration is to transform all local coordinate systems into one unified coordinate system. The key of three-dimensional point cloud registration is to find key features of points, lines and surfaces of different laser radar overlapping areas, but in order to reduce installation and maintenance cost, the distance between two laser radars is usually increased as much as possible when the laser radars are arranged on the road side. Whereas the density of points decreases with increasing distance in a lidar. Increasing the layout spacing between the lidar leads to a reduction in the overlap area. The inevitable requirement on how to carry out point cloud registration to realize continuous long-distance tracking of the target under the condition that the point clouds in the overlapped area are sparse is met.

The invention provides a multi-path laser radar point cloud registration device and a using method thereof under the condition that point clouds in an overlapping area are sparse, key points of different laser radar overlapping areas can be searched by the point cloud registration device, the number of the key points is increased by changing the distribution position of the point cloud registration device, the point cloud registration of multiple laser radars is realized, and the requirement of continuous long-distance tracking of a target is further realized.
When the laser radars are not far away from each other, the point cloud registration device is used for registering the laser radars under a certain laser radar local coordinate system (in this case, three laser radars are matched for completion, taking two laser radars as an example and respectively recording the laser radars as a laser radar A and a laser radar B, and the sizes of all parts are recommended values):
step 1) preparation work before point cloud registration device is assembled and installed
The bearing 8 and the steel pipe 3 (with the length of 800mm, the outer diameter of 240mm and the inner diameter of 120mm) are nested, and the first connecting device 4 (with the inner diameter of 320mm, the outer diameter of 360mm and the length of the right end extending part of 100mm) and the bearing 8 (with the outer diameter of 320mm and the inner diameter of 280mm) are nested. Note that each lidar has heretofore been horizontally positioned and separately connected to GPS 10.
Step 2) mounting and fixing frame
The steel pipe 2 (external diameter 280mm, internal diameter 240mm, length 1500mm, first jack 750mm from bottom, spacing between jacks 200mm, jack diameter 20mm) and the steel pipe 3 are nested together, and after selecting proper height, the pin is inserted. As shown in fig. 2.
Step 3) installing a transverse telescopic arm
With steel pipe 5 (external diameter 68mm, internal diameter 60mm, length 500mm, first jack apart from the bottom 100mm, and the distance is 150mm between the jack) and steel pipe 6 (external diameter 60mm, internal diameter 52mm, length 700mm, first jack apart from the bottom 250mm, second jack interval 300mm) nestification together to be connected with first connecting device 4, confirm after the horizontal flexible arm length, insert the bolt and screw up with the nut. As shown in fig. 3
Step 4) installing the reflective sheet
After the vertical fixing frame and the horizontal telescopic arm are installed, the reflector 7 (with the diameter of 700mm) can be installed at the tail end of the horizontal telescopic arm. As shown in fig. 5.
Step 5) point cloud registration data collection
And 5.1, according to the installation heights and the distance between the two laser radars, the vertical height and the horizontal telescopic length of the point cloud registration device are roughly determined, and the point cloud registration device can reach both a laser radar A scanning area and a laser radar B scanning area in the later rotation process. And then one person rotates the horizontal telescopic arm at the point cloud registration device, and the other two persons are respectively at the laser radar A and the laser radar B. When the point cloud registration device rotates to the scanning range of the laser radar A, a person at the position of the laser radar A stares at a computer to display an image in real time (attention is paid to the fact that the computer image is required to be displayed in real time by taking intensity as an index), when the color displayed by the point cloud registration device is found in a computer screen to represent that the returned intensity of the point cloud registration device reaches the maximum (namely, a1-1 point in figure 8), the point cloud registration device is scanned to a reflector, so that rotation is stopped, data at the position is recorded, and then the point cloud registration device continues to rotate to find the next point (namely, a1-2 point in figure 8) and record the data at the position. Correspondingly, the point cloud registration device continues to rotate to reach the B scanning area of the laser radar, and B1-1 point and B1-2 point similar to the B scanning area are searched for and relevant data are recorded.
5.2 after completing the data collection of the position 1, the point cloud registration device is moved to three new positions (the position selection principle is consistent with that in 5.1, for the convenience of understanding, the selected point of the position 2 is also shown in fig. 6), and the step 5.1 is repeated to collect data.
Step 6) two laser radar point cloud data fusion (namely point cloud registration)
6.1 because the time of different lidar installations is different, this can lead to the timestamp of every dot data different, then can't get up every lidar frame under the same time correspondingly to can't realize that the frame of different lidar can integrate together the purpose of correctly showing certain same object. To achieve this, it is necessary to temporally unify the two lidar systems per frame before point cloud registration of the two lidar systems. Since each lidar is equipped with a GPS with a parameter timestamp representing the time variation in the GPS, the time stamps can be used to achieve temporal uniformity of the two lidar. The time unified recommendation method comprises the following steps: assuming that n data points are shared on a certain frame P1 of the laser radar a, the sum of the timestamps of the n data points of the frame can be calculated S1, then the sum of the timestamps of all frames of the laser radar B is calculated, and the frame P2 corresponding to the S2 with the smallest difference with the S1 in the sum of the timestamps of the laser radar B is found, so that the P1 and the P2 are frames at the same time, that is, the two laser radars are unified in time.
6.2 is based on 6.1. Theoretically, in order to fuse point cloud data of different laser radars together, a coincident point of the two laser radars needs to be found. Now, taking collected data points A1-1, A1-2, B1-1 and B1-2 as examples, the calculation and search of coincident points are performed. From the relevant mathematical knowledge: when two points on the arc are known, the straight line of the center of the circle can be found, and because the length of the horizontal search arm is known, that is, the radius of the circle is known, the OA-1 coordinate of the center point related to the laser radar a can be obtained according to the coordinates of the two points a1-1 and a1-2 and the length of the horizontal search arm (for easy understanding, see fig. 9), and the coordinate value of the OA-1 is under the local coordinate system with the laser radar a as the origin. By using the same method, the point OB-1 related to the laser radar B can be obtained by using B1-1, B1-2 and the length of the horizontal search arm, and the coordinate of the point OB-1 is under a local coordinate system taking the laser radar B as the center of a circle at the moment, so that the two points OA-1 and OB-1 are coincident points 1 found by the laser radar A and the laser radar B through a point cloud registration device.
6.3 repeat steps 6.1 and 6.2, and respectively calculate coincident points 2, 3 and 4 of the rest three positions. And after the calculation is finished, the local coordinate system fusion of the laser radar (namely the point cloud registration of the two laser radars) can be carried out. As can be seen from the related mathematical knowledge, the implementation of the transformation of the coordinate system of different three-dimensional cartesian spaces can be realized by the following transformations: scale transformation, translation transformation, rotation transformation, shear transformation, and perspective transformation. The matrices associated with the transformation are shown below:

representative is the perspective transformation, [ a ]41 a42 a43]Representative is a translation transformation along the x, y, z axes, [ a ]44]Representative is the overall scale size. In summary, the formula for transforming the coordinate description of the object from one coordinate system to another coordinate system (i.e. the two coordinate systems are merged into one coordinate system) is as follows:
[X Y Z 1]=[x y z 1]×T (8)
the transformation matrix T is
T=[x y z 1]-1×[X Y Z 1] (9)
It should be noted that the two coordinate matrices are 4 × 4, where [ X Y Z1 ] has coordinate values of OA-1, OA-2, OA-3, and OA-4, and [ X Y Z1 ] has coordinate values of OB-1, OB-2, OB-3, and OB-4.
[ X Y Z1 ] and [ X Y Z1 ] are written specifically as follows:
Figure GDA0002945293350000131
Figure GDA0002945293350000132
therefore, through the coordinate transformation, the laser radar A and the laser radar B can be fused into a coordinate system at the same coordinate, and point cloud registration is completed.
