In order to explain the technical means of the present invention, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a multiline lidar according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 1, the multiline lidar includes: a first transmitting module 101, a second transmitting module 102, a first receiving module 103, a second receiving module 104 and a mirror module 105.
The first emitting module 101 is located on a first side of the mirror module 105, and is configured to emit a first laser beam to the mirror module 105 from a first direction.
A second emitting module 102, located at a second side of the mirror module 105, for emitting a second laser beam to the mirror module 105 from a second direction; the first side of the mirror module 105 and the second side of the mirror module 105 are opposite sides, and the first direction and the second direction are opposite directions.
The first receiving module 103 is located on a first side of the second mirror module 105, and is configured to receive the first laser beam reflected by the target.
And a second receiving module 104, located at a second side of the second mirror module 105, for receiving the second laser beam reflected back by the target.
The mirror module 105 rotates around the axis at a predetermined rotation speed, and is configured to reflect a first laser beam emitted from the first emitting module 101 from the first direction so that the first laser beam covers a first predetermined range, and reflect a second laser beam emitted from the second emitting module 102 from the second direction so that the second laser beam covers a second predetermined range.
In the embodiment of the present invention, a reflection track formed by an incident light beam reflected by any one of the plane mirrors may be described first by a vector optical theory. Referring to fig. 2, the axis of the mirror, i.e. the axis of rotation, coincides with the z-axis of a cartesian coordinate system, where x is equal to xLAnd a right-hand rectangular coordinate system of the detection surface is arranged at the plane. ω is the rotation angle of the mirror about the rotation axis, and is located perpendicular to the yoz plane on the left side of the detection plane (i.e., y) when the mirror is at the initial position where ω is 0 °<0) The unit normal vector of the mirror isRay slave position vector r0=(x0,y0,z0) Incident at point A, the unit vector of incident light isPoint r1=(x1,y1,z1) Is the intersection of the incident ray and the mirror surface, and the unit vector of the reflected ray isLet the distance of the reflector from the origin of coordinates be d, thenAccording to the vector transformation relation and the coordinate equation of the incident ray, the intersection point of the incident ray and the mirror surface can satisfy the following relation:
according to the law of optical reflection, the unit vector of incident light isThe unit normal vector of the mirror isAnd unit vector of reflected lightThe following relationship is satisfied:
after the light is reflected by the mirror surface, x is equal to xLThe trajectory equation of the detection plane at the plane is r ═ xLY, z) satisfying the following relationship:
assuming that the inclination angle of the reflector is, i.e. the included angle between the normal vector of the reflector and the yoz plane is, the unit normal vector of the reflector isIn the case where the light is incident from the left side perpendicular to the rotation axis,the following can be obtained:
in the trajectory equation r ═ xLY, z) are:
as can be seen from the above scanning trajectories, the scanning trajectories are asymmetrically distributed, and are related to the mirror angle ω, and gradually decrease as the rotation angle ω increases. If the scanning angle of 140 degrees, namely-70 degrees, of the x axis is assumed to be right ahead, the rotation angle omega of the corresponding reflector around the rotation axis is from 10 degrees to 80 degrees, the distance d between the reflector and the origin of coordinates is assumed to be 8mm, and the position x of the incident light point is assumed to be0=5mm,y0=-10mm,z0Scanning trajectories of the four-line lidar at x of 10m at mirror tilt angles of-1 °,0 °,1 °, 2 ° are calculated, respectively, 2mm, and are shown in fig. 3. As can be seen from fig. 3, the longitudinal spatial resolution of the scanning probe is asymmetrically distributed, and the resolution is higher the larger the rotation angle ω is. For a pedestrian of 1.8m height, the radar is mounted at an angle range y to the right of 0.4m height>0, can detect four lines, and for the left angle range y<0, the scanning beam is gradually deflected upward and downward as the angle gradually becomes larger to the left, and gradually becomes 3 lines and 2 lines from the initial detection of 4 lines, and finally becomes 1 line.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the scanning track y of each transmitting module is taken through the two transmitting modules>The portion of 0, i.e., the first predetermined range of the first transmitting module and the second predetermined range of the second transmitting module, can be prevented from occurring at y<The deflection problem of the scanning light beam at 0 time avoids the phenomenon that the light beam is too high at a far distance and is scanned to the sky or the light beamThe problem that the probe beam of the multi-line laser radar cannot be effectively utilized due to the fact that the probe beam is too low to scan the ground is solved, so that a wider horizontal field angle is maintained, the vertical spatial resolution of target scanning is improved, and the inclination angles of two adjacent reflecting surfaces are assumed to be respectively1And2then the corresponding vertical spatial resolution is
Since omega is greater thanThe angle range of (c) is determined by the above equation, and the left side (y) in the multi-line scanning track as shown in FIG. 3 does not appear<0) The vertical spatial resolution is made smaller and smaller as ω becomes smaller and larger, but as in the case of the right-hand scan trajectory of fig. 3, the vertical spatial resolution is made smaller and larger at ωThe longitudinal interval of the multi-line scanning beam becomes smaller and smaller along with the gradual increase of omega, and the multi-line scanning beam tends to be approximately parallel, so that the vertical spatial resolution is homogenized, and the utilization rate of the multi-line scanning beam on target detection is improved.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the arrangement mode of the double emission modules is determined, the positions of the emission modules, the preset scanning ranges and the positions of the reflector modules and the relationship between the shapes and the sizes of the positions and the preset scanning ranges are discussed. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view of any one of the facets and the light source position and horizontal scanning angle. In this embodiment, the emitting module generates the laser beam, that is, the position of the emitting module is the light source position, the first preset range and the second preset rangeThe horizontal part in the summation is the horizontal scan angle. Referring to fig. 4, for the case of a tilt angle of 0 °, the line segment formed by the projection of the mirror surface on the xoy plane, i.e. the first plane, is c and has a length rc(ii) a a is a line segment formed by connecting one end point of c and the origin, and the length of the line segment is r shown in the figureaB is a line segment formed by connecting the other end point of c and the origin, and the length of the line segment is r shown in the figureb,Is the angle between line segment a and line segment b, and σ is the angle between line segment a and line segment c.

further, according to the law of reflection, the following first predetermined relationship can be obtained:
the meanings of the parameters in the formula can be referred to above, and are not described in detail herein. Based on the above relation, the range of the emergent angle corresponding to the rotary reflection of the reflecting mirror surface is presetThen, unique solutions α, β, σ, andbased on the four quantities, the prism made up of the plurality of mirror surfaces that realize the above-described exit angle range can be determined to be a few prisms, i.e., the number of N can be determined based on the exit angle range.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a three-dimensional structure of the multiline lidar according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown in fig. 5, fig. 6 is a top view of the multiline lidar, and fig. 7 is a front view of the multiline lidar. N-8, i.e. the mirror module comprises an octahedral reflecting prism, the sides of which areFor each mirror surface, there isBased on the first predetermined relationship described above, it is possible to obtainThat is, based on 8 reflecting mirror surfaces in the present embodiment and forming the side surfaces of the regular octagonal prism, it can be determined that the absolute values of the abscissas of the first emitting module and the second emitting module are equal, the directions of the laser beams emitted by the first emitting module and the second emitting module are opposite, and specifically, the size of each reflecting mirror surface satisfies a second preset relationship:
the meanings of the parameters in the formula can be referred to above, and are not described in detail herein. The arrangement mode provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize that two symmetrically arranged emission modules carry out large-angle scanning detection, wherein the horizontal scanning angle which can be met by one emission module is-90-0 degrees, and the horizontal scanning angle which can be met by the other emission module is 0-90 degrees.
In some embodiments, the first laser beam and the second laser beam are flat-topped beams.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the actual laser beam has a certain width, and the analysis is performed by using a flat-top beam, that is, a laser beam having a circular cross section.
In some embodiments, the ratio of the diameter of the first laser beam to the side length of the bottom surface of the regular octagonal prism is a first preset value; the ratio of the diameter of the second laser beam to the side length of the bottom surface of the regular octagonal prism is a second preset value; the first preset value is determined according to the position of the first emitting module, the corresponding emergent angle range of the first laser beam after being rotationally reflected by a reflecting mirror and the relative intensity of the first laser beam after being reflected by the reflecting mirror; the second preset value is determined according to the position of the second transmitting module, the corresponding emergent angle range of the second laser beam after being rotatably reflected by a reflecting mirror and the relative intensity of the second laser beam after being reflected by the reflecting mirror.
In the embodiment of the invention, the position and the size of the module of the multiline laser radar can be determined according to a first preset relation, the absolute value of the abscissa of the first transmitting module or the second transmitting module is in direct proportion to the side length l of the reflector, and the smaller the abscissa is, the smaller the side length l of the reflector is, and the smaller the overall size is. In practice, however, the laser beam has a certain width, so that the relationship between the width of the laser beam, the emission module, the scanning angle and the size of the reflector needs to be analyzed, and the structural design of the multi-line laser radar is more reasonable by combining the receiving aperture of the radar. Assume the left laser beam is at position A (x)0,y0,z0) P of incident and laser beam emergent power0The laser beam has a circular cross section, a width (diameter) w, and a laser beam energy density distribution function g (x, z), then:
any emergent angle of the octahedral reflecting prism can be obtained by neglecting the beam transmission transformation and diffraction effect and according to the first preset relationThe relative intensity distribution of (a) is:
wherein D is a function ofLine x ═ x0-w/2 and a straight line x ═ x0+ w/2 of an integration region in which As shown in fig. 8.
For laser beams with uniform intensity distribution, i.e. flat-topped beams, there areThe width of the first laser beam is equal to that of the second laser beam, the first preset value is equal to the second preset value, the relation between the emergent angle and the relative intensity is simulated through laser beam and emergent angle integral and Zemax respectively, and the results obtained by the two methods are consistent. When the ratio of the diameter of the laser beam to the side length of the bottom surface of the regular octagonal prism is a first preset value, the relationship between the outgoing angle and the relative intensity is as shown in fig. 9, since the radar is formed by symmetrically arranging the left side and the right side of the double-emitting module, only the characteristic of the laser beam on one side needs to be analyzed. In fig. 9, the first preset values are 1/16, 1/10, and 1/8, respectively. It can be seen that the smaller the width of the laser beam, the more concentrated the relative intensity within the preset angle range, because the abscissa of each point of the laser beam corresponds to different emitting angles, and the abscissa x of the center of the emitting module0Corresponding to the preset emergent angle, the larger the width of the laser beam is, the larger the superposition range of different emergent angles is, and the relative intensity is more dispersed in the preset angle range.
Therefore, under the same condition, the smaller the width of the laser beam is, the smaller the side length of the corresponding reflector is, the smaller the abscissa of the emitting module is, the smaller the volume of the whole machine is, and the more compact the structure is. In fact, the width of the laser beam cannot be too small, and under the condition that the emitting lens has the same numerical aperture, the smaller the width of the light source, the smaller the focal length, so that the divergence angle of the beam becomes larger, and under the condition of the same focal length, the outgoing aperture of the lens is reduced, so that the width of the laser beam is reduced, and the emitting power is also reduced. By comprehensively considering the overall performance and design constraint relationship of the radar system, the ratio of the width of the laser beam to the side length of the reflector can be set to 1/10, and the scanning system parameters of the multi-line laser radar arranged by the octahedral reflecting prism and the double-emitting module can be obtained.
In some embodiments, the lidar further comprises: a first lens disposed in front of the first receiving module and a second lens disposed in front of the second receiving module; the first lens is used for converging the first laser beam reflected by the target to the first receiving module; the second lens is used for converging the second laser beam reflected by the target to the second receiving module.
In the embodiment of the invention, the receiving system of the radar has great influence on the radar ranging performance, and the echo receiving power is proportional to the projection area of the reflector on the receiving plane. The first lens and the second lens are arranged in front of the corresponding receiving modules, so that the received echo receiving power can be increased.
In one embodiment, in order to increase the received echo reception power as much as possible, the projection of the first lens and the second lens on the receiving surface should cover the projection of the mirror module on the receiving surface.
In one embodiment, in order to maximize the received echo power without receiving unnecessary stray light, the projection of the first lens and the second lens on the receiving surface should be the same as the projection of the mirror module on the receiving surface.
In a particular embodiment, the exit angle is such that the mirror module is an octahedral reflecting prismWhen the reflection angle is larger than zero, the projection center abscissa of the reflection mirror surface on the receiving plane is Projection width ofThe first lens and the second lens are both square, and the projection of the first lens on the receiving surface and the reflection of the reflection mirror surface on the first laser beam or the second laser beamThe maximum projections of the two light beams on the receiving surface are the same; the first lens and the second lens have a width ofThe abscissa of the center of the first lens and the abscissa of the center of the second lens satisfy:
in the formula, xrThe abscissa of the center of the first lens or the abscissa of the center of the second lens, and l is the length of the base side of the regular octagonal prism, and the corresponding projection receiving area
In some embodiments, the detection range corresponding to any scanning angle is set by the lidar equation based on the size parameters of the mirror module.
In the embodiment of the invention, the maximum detection distance corresponding to each scanning angle is different according to the relation between the relative light-emitting power and the effective receiving area and the scanning angle. For example, in the case where the reflector module described above includes an octahedral reflecting prism as an example, if the detection distance in the 140 ° scanning range right in front of the radar is ensured to be more than 100m, the distance detection at the lateral 70 ° scanning angle needs to reach 100m, and according to the conditions and constraint relations to be satisfied by the system parameters, for a diffuse reflection surface target with 10% reflectivity, based on the laser radar equation:
preset Pm=10nW、P0=25W、ρ=10%、ηr=0.9、ηe=0.85、θ=70°、And LmThe length l of the bottom surface of the obtained octahedral reflecting prism is 5.86 cm; in the formula, PmTo the minimum detectable power, P0For the light source emission power, ρ is the target reflectivity, ArIn order to be an effective receiving area of the echo signal,relative intensity distribution of exit angle, ηrFor receiving the lens efficiency, ηeFor the efficiency of the emitting lens, θ is the angle between the normal of the beam and the normal of the target surface, LmIs the maximum detection distance; that is, the length of the bottom side of the octahedral reflecting prism can meet the distance detection requirement as long as the length is more than 5.86 cm. FIG. 10 is a graph showing the relationship between the scan angle and the maximum detection distance under the condition that the side length l of the octagon is 4.86cm, 5.86cm, 6.68cm and 7.86cm, and it can be known from the calculation result that the side length l of the bottom surface of the octahedral reflecting prism is proportional to the maximum detection distance of the radar under the condition of the same emergent angle, because the minimum detectable power P ismFor stationary systems, LmThe ratio a is constant, and the square of the bottom side length l of the octahedral reflecting prism is proportional to the receiving area, so that the square of the bottom side length l is also proportional to the echo power.
In some embodiments, the N reflecting mirror surfaces and the first plane respectively form N tilt angles for satisfying scanning in a third direction; the first plane is a plane where the first laser beam and the second laser beam are located, and the third direction is a direction perpendicular to the first plane.
In the embodiment of the invention, each reflecting mirror surface and the first plane can be arranged to have an inclination angle so as to meet the scanning of the field range in the vertical direction right in front of the radar. Taking the reflector module comprising an octahedral reflecting prism as an example, if the requirement for the radar right ahead (i.e. straight ahead) is satisfied) Field of view range psi in vertical directioniIs-1.5 degree, -1.0 degree, -0.5 degree, -0.0 degree and +0.5 degree, +1.0, +1.5, +2.0 according to angle resolution formula of calculation
The inclination angle of each reflecting mirror surface can be obtainediIs set to be-1.06 degrees, -0.71 degrees, -0.35 degrees, 0 degrees, 0.35 degrees, 0.71 degrees, 1.06 degrees and 1.41 degrees; in the formula (I), the compound is shown in the specification,idenotes the ith inclination angle, i 1, …,8, psiiRepresenting the ith field of view range in the vertical direction directly in front of the radar.
Compared with the Velodyne 64-line laser radar, the multi-line laser radar provided by the embodiment of the invention has better detection performance. The field of view of the Velodyne 64 line laser radar in the vertical direction is-24.9 degrees- +2.0 degrees, the Velodyne 64 line laser radar is usually installed at a higher position, such as the top of an automobile, about 1.6m for better detection effect due to the fact that most of the laser beam pitch angles face downwards, the detection track of the Velodyne 64 line laser radar in the range of 140 degrees ahead can be calculated according to the space scanning equation, and the multiline laser radar provided by the embodiment of the invention is usually installed at a lower position due to the fact that most of the laser beam pitch angles face upwards and the calculation is 0.5 m. FIGS. 11-13 show a comparison of the detection effect at 10m, 50m and 100m for a person about 1.8m tall at the front, side and edge of the field of view. In the detection distance of 10m in the near place, the light spot tracks are calculated by using a vector optical method and Zemax non-sequential analog simulation respectively, the calculation results of the two are matched, the result shows that the Velodyne 64 line laser radar has a good detection effect on people in front, the number of laser lines for detecting the target is less as the target is larger from the central azimuth angle, only 4 laser beams detect the target at the edge, because the scanning track of the multi-line laser radar is a hyperbolic track at the detection surface and the spatial resolution of the multi-line laser radar is lower as the target is larger from the central azimuth angle, the scanning lines of the multi-line laser radar provided by the embodiment of the invention are approximately parallel lines, so that the target can be detected by 8 laser beams no matter in the central azimuth or the edge azimuth. With the increase of the detection distance, the difference between the two is about obvious, at a distance of 50m far away, the Velodyne 64 line laser radar can detect 3 lines to the object in the right front, and only 1 line can be detected at the edge, while the multiline laser radar provided by the embodiment of the invention can detect 5 lines to the object in the right front, and the object can still detect 6 lines at the side and the edge. When the detection distance is increased to 100m, only 1 line can be detected by the Velodyne 64-line laser radar for the target in different directions, 2 lines can be detected by the multiline laser radar provided by the embodiment of the invention for the target in the front, and 3 lines can still be detected by the target in the direction and at the edge. Therefore, the multiline laser radar provided by the embodiment of the invention has the advantage of high spatial resolution in the aspect of long-distance lateral edge scanning detection.
