Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of multi-sensor combined calibration, in particular to a rapid combined calibration method for a millimeter wave radar and a camera.
Background
For an unmanned motion platform, whether an intelligent driving vehicle on a regular road, an unmanned agricultural machine on an unstructured road or a mobile robot in an indoor scene, accurate sensing and identification of a target are carried out by using multi-sensor fusion, and the environmental cognitive ability of the target is improved, which is very important. The use of multi-sensor fusion can effectively avoid accidents caused by single sensor failure, and the advantages of the multi-sensors are complemented to remarkably improve the perception precision of the perception system. In different sensor fusion schemes, cameras are low in price and can provide rich semantic information, so that the cameras become an indispensable component of an unmanned motion platform sensing system. However, the camera is very susceptible to external environments such as variable illumination, and it is difficult to obtain accurate position information of the target; the millimeter wave radar is also a sensor with low price, has good distance and speed measurement precision, is less influenced by weather factors such as illumination, smoke dust, rain, snow and the like, and forms natural complementation with the camera. Therefore, the sensing fusion is carried out by using the camera and the millimeter wave radar, and the sensing scheme is low in price and stable in performance.
However, since the sensing data of the two sensors are described in their respective coordinate systems, when it is desired to use the fused data of the camera and the millimeter wave radar as the target detection result, the two sensors are first calibrated jointly to determine the transformation relationship between their coordinate systems.
The joint calibration generally includes self-calibration and inter-sensor calibration of each sensor. The calibration of each sensor is mainly used for determining parameters of the sensor, such as camera internal parameters, so that data can be accurately acquired by the sensor; the calibration between sensors is to determine the projection relationship of data in a single sensor coordinate system to another sensor coordinate system, so as to ensure the accurate matching of the data of the two sensors.
Some researches exist at home and abroad on the research of the combined calibration method of the millimeter wave radar and the camera, for example, Qinghua university rocaiya assumes that a normal vector of a millimeter wave radar plane is parallel to a vehicle longitudinal symmetry plane through a strict vehicle longitudinal symmetry plane, calibrates the radar and the camera respectively, and obtains the projection relation of a coordinate system of the radar and the camera through calculation. In the research, a good calibration effect is obtained, however, in order to obtain a longitudinal symmetry plane of the vehicle, researchers need to measure a plurality of symmetry points on the surface of the vehicle, calculate the midpoint of the vehicle, and then scan a vertical laser plane through a laser level meter, so that the method is complex to implement; in the research, Tao Wang et al of the Western university of transportation uses a metal plate to calibrate a camera and a millimeter wave radar, and from the result, the metal plate has a large area, so that the calibrated transverse deviation is too large, and a good effect is difficult to obtain. In addition, calibration is performed by using vehicles, pedestrians and the like as reference objects, but due to the problems of large target of the reference object, irregular shape, poor reflection intensity and the like, the situations that more than one projection point of the millimeter wave radar measuring point in the image plane, the lateral position of the projection point is inaccurate and the like are easily caused, and the combined calibration precision of the millimeter wave radar and the vision is influenced.
In summary, some of the existing millimeter wave and camera joint calibration methods have strong preconditions, and complex operations are often required to meet the required preconditions; some reference objects with larger targets and irregular shapes are selected, so that the calibrated transverse position is inaccurate, and the calibration precision is reduced.
A joint calibration method is needed, which can realize rapid calibration and avoid strong preconditions in use.

The corner reflector has high reflection intensity, can be accurately obtained by the millimeter wave radar, avoids the problems of larger reference object target, irregular shape, poor reflection intensity and the like, easily generates the conditions that the number of projection points of a millimeter wave radar measuring point in an image plane is more than one, the transverse position of the projection point is inaccurate and the like, and influences the combined calibration precision of the millimeter wave radar and the vision. The size of the corner reflector is small, and better feedback can be obtained by utilizing the pixel deviation of the projection point of the corner reflector and the imaging point of the corner reflector in the image plane, so that the projection parameters are adjusted, and the joint calibration speed is improved.

Since the sizes of pixels occupied by the corner reflector 4 are different when the corner reflector is far from the camera 2, the size of the image collected by the camera is 1280 × 720 pixels, in this embodiment, 20 pixels are selected as a deviation threshold, that is, the corner reflector 4 moves to 9 different positions, and the average deviation between the projection point of the position of each radar-acquired corner reflector 4 on the image plane and the actual image-forming position is within 20 pixels, then the calibration is considered to be completed. Recording camera internal parameters, internal parameters converted by the two millimeter wave radars and the camera coordinate system, and completing calibration.
The camera 2 in this embodiment may be a monocular camera, a binocular camera, a multi-view camera, an infrared camera, or the like.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the camera 2 is installed in the center of the front end of the moving platform 1, the radar group 3 is composed of two radar groups 3, the two radars are symmetrically arranged on the moving platform 1 at the two sides of the camera 2, and the corner reflector 4 is arranged in the front of the moving platform 1.
The radar group 3 can be a plurality of millimeter wave radars, that is, can jointly mark a plurality of millimeter wave radars and the camera 2, if the number of millimeter wave radars is more than or equal to two, only need place the corner reflector 4 in the position that a plurality of millimeter wave radars can detect simultaneously, and need adjust the position of corner reflector 4 and make it appear in the camera 2 image.
In conclusion, the millimeter wave radar and camera 2 calibration needs less constraint and assumption, and calibration errors caused by irregular reference objects and reference objects with small reflection intensity can be avoided by introducing the corner reflector 4; meanwhile, a plurality of sensors can be calibrated, and a plurality of positions are selected for deviation elimination, so that the calibration accuracy is improved; by observing or measuring the deviation change of the projection point and the imaging point of the corner reflector 4 caused by the external parameter change of the projection, the external parameter adjustment is directly fed back, the complicated mathematical calculation is not needed, the steps are simplified, and the rapid calibration of the sensor can be realized.
