This patent adopts 2D laser radar to realize that the barrier is modelled, fix a position and is drawn, and two-dimensional laser scanning can only acquire the depth information of the fixed angle in place ahead, can't acquire the three-dimensional depth information of whole scene, and the unmanned aerial vehicle that carries out the plant protection operation in the field need survey the three-dimensional information of barrier, can make effectual obstacle avoidance decision, just can effectively guarantee the safety of plant protection operation.
Chinese patent CN109839938A discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle range finding and avoiding system based on laser radar, which adopts the form of laser radar to detect obstacles. The invention only concerns the 90-degree sector of the horizontal plane right in front of the flight direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle and has a space area with a certain horizontal included angle, and the mode has an obstacle avoidance blind area and cannot adapt to complex farmland operation environments.

Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problems that the existing mode for detecting the obstacle of the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle as a single signal source cannot perform early warning on the obstacle information of a flying hand in time. Due to the complex working environment of the farmland, various obstacles represented by branches, electric wires, crops with prominent growth vigor and the like are often encountered during the operation. A single sensor can only obtain local, one-sided environmental characteristic information. And because the sensor is also influenced by the quality and performance of the sensor, the acquired information is often incomplete with large uncertainty. Adopt the multisensor obstacle detection means that laser radar and binocular vision combined together, follow certain distance and survey branch, electric wire, wire pole and the outstanding crops of growing trend in the farmland to in time carry out the early warning to the flier with the information of obstacle, let the flier in time make judgement and processing, guaranteed plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle's operation safety. Plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle barrier is surveyed and early warning system assists the flight hand and uses plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle to carry out the plant protection operation.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the invention relates to a barrier detection and early warning system for a plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle, which comprises a data transmission radio station device, a laser radar detection device and a binocular vision detection device, wherein the data transmission radio station device, the laser radar detection device and the binocular vision detection device are installed on the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle. Laser radar detection device installation is located plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle's ventral below, two mesh visual detection device installations are located plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle's top, and just to the direction of advance of fuselage, data transfer radio station device is installed in the safety cover at plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle top, laser radar detection device and two mesh visual detection device will gather and the data transmission who surveys to flight control system, flight control system received data and through data calculation and analysis after transmit to human-computer interaction terminal and ground basic station through data transfer radio station device, the flier passes through the human-computer interaction terminal and obtains the information about the barrier and in time handles.
The obstacle detection and early warning system for the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle adopts a detection means combining vision and non-vision sensors, detects obstacles in a farmland environment from a certain distance, and performs obstacle early warning on a flyer, and the flyer timely makes judgment and processing when receiving early warning information, so that the operation safety of the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured. The laser radar detection device has the advantages of long detection distance, high detection precision, no influence of weather conditions and the like, but the laser radar detection device does not have the function of visual identification and can only roughly judge the detected target according to the characteristics of the appearance and the like of the object detected by the laser radar detection device. The binocular vision detection device makes up the disadvantage of the laser radar detection device in the aspect of identifying the object, and can capture the details of the object, such as the characteristics of brightness, texture and the like. The obstacle detection and early warning system based on the laser radar detection device and the binocular vision detection device integrates the advantages of the two detection devices, can achieve the advantages of long detection distance, high precision and strong reliability, can accurately identify the obstacle target in the field, and can effectively cope with the complex operation environment in the field by combining the two detection devices. When the obstacle is in the effective range of the visual detection device, the binocular visual system acquires an image through the lens and transmits the image to the flight control system, and the flight control system performs data intelligent analysis on the image, so that whether the obstacle affects the operation safety of the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle can be judged, and if the obstacle affects the operation safety of the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle, the system informs a flying hand through the human-computer interaction terminal. When the laser radar detection device identifies the obstacle in the detection range, the laser radar detection device transmits information of the obstacle (such as parameters of the distance, the direction, the height, the speed, the attitude, the shape and the like of the obstacle) to the flight control system, the flight control system receives data and judges whether the obstacle affects the operation safety of the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle through data intelligent analysis, the laser radar detection device detects the current distance between the obstacle and the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle, then the flight control system intelligently sends out corresponding control instructions and carries out corresponding processing (such as intelligently controlling the speed of the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle, planning an obstacle avoidance path and making a corresponding obstacle avoidance attitude), a flying hand on the ground receives the obstacle information through a human-computer interaction system and timely makes judgment and processing, and the operation safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured.
The invention relates to a plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle barrier detection and early warning system, which adopts a detection means combining vision and non-vision sensors, and has the difficulty that information fusion is realized by combining a laser radar detection device and a binocular vision detection device. The information fusion can be divided into pixel layer fusion, feature layer fusion and decision layer fusion from a low layer to a high layer according to different fusion levels. The pixel layer fusion is to fuse the original information of various sensors according to the acquired original information, the information of the original data layer is comprehensively analyzed before the original data layer is not processed, the original data is not processed, so the data calculation amount is large, the real-time performance is poor, the original data contains certain noise, the anti-interference capability is not high, but the pixel level fusion reflects the essential information of an object, and the field data information is kept as much as possible. Since the pixel level fusion is fused on the original information, it belongs to the lowest level fusion. The feature layer fusion is to perform optimization processing on the collected sensor original information, extract useful feature information easy to identify, and process the feature information from a plurality of sensors after processing improvement, such as weighting processing operation, and is intermediate-level fusion. The target state fusion and the target characteristic fusion both belong to a feature level fusion mode. The target state fusion is mainly used for target tracking, the target characteristic fusion is essentially to cascade characteristic information to identify a target, and before the characteristic fusion of multiple sensors, the selection of characteristics is particularly important, because the characteristics are raw materials for identification, the detection result is directly influenced by the quality of characteristic extraction, so that the characteristic information is analyzed and processed before the characteristic fusion, useless characteristic information is filtered, meaningful characteristics are reserved, the advantages of realizing characteristic information compression, reserving main characteristics and facilitating real-time processing are achieved. Decision-level fusion is different from pixel-level fusionAnd (4) merging and feature level fusion, namely performing judgment on various sensors respectively, and then fusing judgment results of the sensors to provide a final comprehensive decision scheme. The decision-level fusion belongs to high-level fusion, the decision-level fusion result directly influences the decision-level height, the preprocessing cost is high, but compared with pixel-level fusion and feature-level fusion, the method has the advantages of minimum calculated amount, strong anti-interference capability and low dependence on a sensor, and improves the real-time performance and certain fault-tolerant capability of the system. The method has the advantages of small decision-level fusion calculated amount and strong anti-interference capability, and combines detection results of the laser radar and the visual detection of the target barrier to finally give a corresponding decision to determine the final position of the target barrier. Two methods of laser radar and camera decision-level fusion are generally available, namely a visual laser radar cross validation method and a visual validation laser radar detection method. The vision and laser radar cross validation method is characterized in that a vision sensor and a laser radar sensor respectively adopt corresponding methods to simultaneously detect a target, then the three-dimensional coordinate position of the target detected under a laser radar coordinate system is calculated and projected to a corresponding point on an image according to the camera and laser radar standard parameters, and then the final position of the target is comprehensively judged and determined by combining the vision detection result. The detection results of the vision and the laser radar are synthesized through cross validation, so that the detection accuracy is high, but the laser radar is required to scan a video frame for target detection while detecting a target, so that the calculation amount is large. The method for detecting vision verification laser radar includes utilizing laser radar to detect target, projecting three-dimensional coordinate position of laser radar detected target onto image, drawing out certain size ROI (region of interest) area at projection point position, using vision detection method to detect target at ROI of projection point position, comparing with method for cross-verifying vision and laser radar, because vision detection does not scan whole video frame, only using ROI area drawn out by projection point position to scan calculation, calculation amount is small, but if calibration error of laser radar and camera is larger, ROI area drawn out by projection point position may be scannedThe method does not contain targets, has low detection accuracy, and is easy to miss detection of the targets when the targets are more and too concentrated. In consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the cross validation method and the vision validation laser radar detection method, the invention adopts the information fusion mode of the vision and laser radar cross validation, the laser radar detection and the vision detection are not completed step by step, the laser radar detection and the vision detection are simultaneously carried out on the whole frame image, the laser radar projects the detected target to the corresponding position of the image, and the target which contains the obstacle is comprehensively judged according to the position of the projection point and the position of the vision detection target by combining the vision detection resultR(uR,vR) The position of the center point of the visual detection target is pc(uc,vc) The specific fusion of the two cases is divided into three cases: 1) if the laser radar and the binocular vision simultaneously detect the target and the projection position of the detection target of the laser radar, the position of the detection target of the binocular vision and the position of the saliency detection target are matched, directly determining the position of the target, namely the detection results of the laser radar and the saliency detection target; 2) if the detection results of the laser radar and the binocular vision saliency are not consistent, continuously detecting 10 frames by the laser radar, and if the projection position of the target detected by more than or equal to 5 frames in the 10 frames is matched with the binocular vision saliency detection, determining the target position, namely the target position determined by more than or equal to 5 frames in the 10 frames of the laser radar; 3) if the two conditions are not the first two conditions, the laser radar and the binocular vision continue to detect. Judging the central projection point p of the target detected by the laser radarR(uR,vR) And the target center point position p of the visual detectionc(uc,vc) Whether there is a match is determined by the following equation: c (P)R,PC)=α|μRC|+β|νRCWherein the parameters alpha and beta are respectively the transverse weight and the longitudinal weight of the image, when the laser radar three-dimensional data is projected on the image, the transverse error is large, so that the alpha and the beta are endowed with different weights respectivelyα is 0.5, β is 1, and a threshold C is givenT(CTIs 50), if C (p)R,pC) Not more than CTThe lidar and the target of the visual detection are considered to be matched, otherwise, the lidar and the target of the visual detection are not matched.
