Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
One of the core ideas of the embodiment of the invention is that reachable space information is obtained by obtaining an environment image of a vehicle driving direction, obstacle information in the vehicle driving direction is determined based on the reachable space information, whether the vehicle needs to avoid an obstacle is judged by adopting the obstacle information and characteristic parameters of the vehicle based on a current driving path of the vehicle, the characteristic parameters comprise vehicle body parameters and driving parameters, and if the vehicle needs to avoid the obstacle, an obstacle avoiding driving path is generated. The vehicle can detect short obstacles in the surrounding environment in the automatic running process and realize automatic avoidance, collision and scratch between the vehicle and the obstacles are avoided, and the risk of vehicle damage is reduced.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a driving obstacle detection method according to the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:
step 101, obtaining an environment image of a vehicle driving direction and characteristic parameters of the vehicle;
specifically, a vehicle is equipped with an Around View Monitor (AVM) that can acquire real-time images of the surroundings of the vehicle through a plurality of cameras disposed in different directions of the vehicle. When the vehicle is running, in order to determine whether an obstacle exists on the running path, an environment image in the running direction of the vehicle may be acquired, for example, an environment image in front of the vehicle is acquired when the vehicle is running normally, and an environment image in back of the vehicle is acquired when the vehicle is backing. The characteristic parameters of the vehicle are fixed parameters of the vehicle and driving parameters acquired in the driving process, including the length and width of each part of the vehicle, the driving direction of the vehicle, the current driving speed and the like.
102, acquiring reachable space information according to the environment image;
the reachable space refers to an area where no obstacle that the vehicle cannot cross exists in the environment image, and reachable space detection is performed on the shot environment image to acquire reachable space information.
Step 103, determining obstacle information in the vehicle driving direction based on the reachable space information;
the reachable space information can identify all areas which can be reached by the vehicle in the environment image, and the unidentified area belongs to the area with the obstacle corresponding to the identified position, so that the obstacle in the driving direction of the vehicle can be determined based on the reachable space information to obtain the obstacle information.
104, judging whether the vehicle needs to avoid the obstacle or not by adopting the obstacle information and the characteristic parameters based on the current running path of the vehicle; the characteristic parameters comprise vehicle body parameters and driving parameters;
generally, a traveling path of a vehicle is linear, and the vehicle has a width, and vehicles of different types have different vehicle widths, and even the same vehicle has different vehicle speeds, the time available for determination is different. Therefore, whether the vehicle needs to avoid obstacles can be judged according to the vehicle body parameters of the vehicle, such as length, width and the like, and the driving parameters, such as the speed of the vehicle, and the obstacle information, such as the size and the position of the obstacle and the like.
And 105, if so, generating an obstacle avoidance driving path.
When the vehicle is judged to collide with the obstacle, the vehicle can generate an obstacle avoidance driving path and drive according to the obstacle avoidance driving path to avoid the obstacle.
In the embodiment of the invention, the accessible space information is obtained according to the environment image by obtaining the environment image of the vehicle driving direction and the characteristic parameters of the vehicle, the obstacle information in the vehicle driving direction is determined based on the accessible space information, whether the vehicle needs to avoid the obstacle is judged by adopting the obstacle information and the characteristic parameters based on the current driving path of the vehicle, the characteristic parameters comprise vehicle body parameters and driving parameters, and if the vehicle needs to avoid the obstacle, the obstacle avoiding driving path is generated. The vehicle can detect short obstacles in the surrounding environment in the automatic running process and realize automatic avoidance, collision and scratch between the vehicle and the obstacles are avoided, and the risk of vehicle damage is reduced.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of steps of another embodiment of a driving obstacle detection method according to the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:
step 201, obtaining an environment image of a vehicle driving direction and characteristic parameters of the vehicle;
since step 201 is similar to step 101 in the previous embodiment, the detailed description may refer to step 101 in the previous embodiment, and the detailed description of this embodiment is omitted here.
Step 202, obtaining reachable space information according to the environment image;
in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of obtaining the reachable spatial information according to the environment image further includes the following sub-steps:
receiving coordinate data which are sent by a panoramic monitoring image system controller and generated based on the environment image;
generating a plurality of the reachable spatial coordinate points by using the coordinate data;
and generating reachable spatial information based on the reachable spatial coordinate point.
Specifically, after the AVM acquires the environment image, the AVM processes the environment image to acquire reachable spatial information of the vehicle in the environment image, where the reachable spatial information is composed of a plurality of reachable spatial coordinate points, and the reachable spatial coordinate points may be regarded as coordinates of a position where the vehicle can finally reach after traveling along a straight line from the current position. Because the capacity of a data transmission channel of a Controller Area Network (CAN) of a vehicle is low, a certain number of reachable space coordinate points CAN be selected from reachable space information, coordinate data corresponding to the reachable space coordinate points are transmitted, and the reachable space coordinate points for forming reachable space information are generated by the vehicle after receiving the data coordinates. For example, to reduce the pressure of data transmission, 12 reachable spatial coordinate points may be selected.
Step 203, determining obstacle information in the vehicle driving direction based on the reachable space information;
in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining obstacle information in the vehicle traveling direction based on the reachable space information further comprises the substeps of:
clustering the plurality of reachable spatial coordinate points by adopting a density-based clustering algorithm to generate a plurality of reachable spatial coordinate point sets;
determining obstacle information corresponding to an obstacle in the vehicle traveling direction based on the set of reachable spatial coordinate points.
Specifically, the Density-Based Clustering algorithm may be a DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise, Density-Based Noise application Spatial Clustering) algorithm, and after Clustering a plurality of reachable Spatial coordinate points by the algorithm, a set composed of reachable Spatial coordinate points may be obtained, with the confidence being the number of the clustered point sets. When an obstacle exists in the environment image, the vehicle can be blocked when reaching the obstacle position along a straight line, namely, the reachable space coordinate point can stay at the position of the obstacle, and therefore the obstacle in the vehicle driving direction can be determined according to the reachable space coordinate point set with high confidence coefficient.
Step 204, judging whether the obstacle and the vehicle in the driving process have an intersection area or not by adopting the obstacle information and the characteristic parameters based on the current driving path of the vehicle;
the obstacle and the vehicle have an intersection area, that is, the vehicle can collide with the obstacle or scrape the obstacle. Therefore, whether the obstacle and the vehicle running along the current running path have an intersection area can be judged by adopting obstacle information corresponding to the obstacle, such as the position and the size of the obstacle, the length and the width of the vehicle and the like.
In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the obstacle information includes obstacle coordinates corresponding to a contour of the obstacle, and the step of determining whether the obstacle and the vehicle in the driving process have an intersection region using the obstacle information and the characteristic parameter based on the current driving path of the vehicle further includes the sub-steps of:
determining a detection area corresponding to the vehicle based on a current driving path of the vehicle, the vehicle body parameter and the driving parameter;
judging whether the obstacle coordinates fall into a detection coordinate range corresponding to the detection area;
if so, determining that the intersection area exists between the obstacle and the vehicle in the driving process, and determining the obstacle coordinate falling into the detection coordinate range as a target obstacle coordinate;
if not, determining that no intersection area exists between the obstacle and the vehicle in the driving process.
Specifically, the detection area of the vehicle may be determined based on the current travel path, using body parameters of the vehicle, such as the length and width of the vehicle, and also travel parameters of the vehicle, such as the travel speed and direction, the detection area being located on one side of the travel direction of the vehicle, such as when the vehicle travels normally forward, the detection area being located in front of the vehicle, and when the vehicle is in reverse, the detection area being located behind the vehicle. The detection area is provided with a corresponding detection coordinate range, namely a coordinate range formed by coordinates of the boundary of the detection area, the obstacle information corresponding to the obstacle comprises obstacle coordinates corresponding to the outline of the obstacle, and when the obstacle coordinates fall into the detection coordinate range, the obstacle is in contact with the vehicle, so that the intersection area of the obstacle and the vehicle is judged; otherwise, there is no intersection area between the two.
In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the detection region corresponding to the vehicle based on the current travel path of the vehicle, the vehicle body parameter, and the travel parameter further includes the substeps of:
determining a width of a detection zone based on the width of the vehicle;
determining a length of the detection area based on a traveling speed of the vehicle;
the detection area is generated in the traveling direction of the vehicle with the current travel path as a center.
Specifically, the detection area may be a rectangular area, and the width may be a vehicle width including a length of the rearview mirrors on the left and right sides of the vehicle, and in order to prevent the vehicle from just passing through an obstacle in a close contact manner, the width may be expanded by a certain ratio on the left and right sides of the detection area, for example, the width is expanded by 10% on the left and right sides, for example, the vehicle width is 2.4 m, the width is 1.32 m after the vehicle is expanded by 10% in half, and the total width is 2.64 m, that is, the width of the detection area is 2.64 m. The faster the vehicle travels, the shorter the reserved detection time, so the longer the detection distance should be set, for example, the length of the detection area may be set to L, which is C + V × N, where C is a constant value, usually 1 to 2 meters, V is the current vehicle traveling speed, and N is an adjustable weight value, which can be set by the user according to the needs of the user. Since the vehicle automatically travels around the current travel path, the detection area is generated using the width and the length as described above, also around the current travel path.
Step 205, if yes, determining that the vehicle needs to avoid an obstacle;
when the intersection area between the obstacle and the vehicle is judged, the obstacle is determined to need to be avoided if the obstacle is in contact with the vehicle.
And step 206, generating an obstacle avoidance driving path.
In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of generating the obstacle avoidance driving path further includes the following sub-steps:
and generating an obstacle avoidance driving path based on the current driving path, the target obstacle coordinates and the detection area.
After determining that obstacle avoidance is needed, an obstacle avoidance driving path can be generated on the basis of the current driving path, the obstacle avoidance driving path is a driving path of the detection area for avoiding the coordinates of the target obstacle, and the vehicle changes the driving path from the current driving path to the obstacle avoidance driving path and automatically drives along the obstacle avoidance driving path.
In the embodiment of the invention, by acquiring the environment image of the vehicle driving direction and the characteristic parameters of the vehicle, the coordinate data generated based on the environment image and sent by the panoramic monitoring image system controller is received, a plurality of reachable space coordinate points are generated by adopting the coordinate data, the reachable space coordinate points are used for forming reachable space information, a clustering algorithm based on density is adopted to cluster the reachable space coordinate points to generate a plurality of reachable space coordinate point sets, obstacle information corresponding to an obstacle in the vehicle driving direction is determined based on the reachable space coordinate point sets, whether the obstacle and the vehicle in the driving process have an intersection area is judged by adopting the obstacle information and the characteristic parameters based on the current driving path of the vehicle, if so, the vehicle is determined to be in need of obstacle avoidance, an obstacle avoidance driving path is generated, and the data transmission quantity is reduced, the data transmission pressure is reduced, low obstacles in the surrounding environment can be detected out in the automatic running process of the vehicle, automatic avoidance is realized, collision and scratch between the vehicle and the obstacles are avoided, and the risk of vehicle damage is reduced.
In order to facilitate the further understanding of the present invention for the skilled person, the present invention is described below by way of specific scenarios by way of example.

The AVM identifies reachable space in the front environment according to the shot environment image and selects 12 reachable space coordinate points. After 12 reachable space coordinate points output by the AVM controller are received, clustering the reachable space coordinate points by adopting a DBSCAN algorithm to obtain a set consisting of the reachable space coordinate points, determining the coordinates of the outline of the obstacle 302 in front of the vehicle according to the reachable space coordinate point set with high confidence coefficient, generating a detection area 303 in front of the vehicle according to the width of the vehicle and the driving speed of the vehicle, and determining that the obstacle 302 intersects with the detection area 303 because the reachable space coordinate points 304 and 305 fall into the coordinate range of the detection area 303, determining that the vehicle needs to avoid the obstacle, and generating an obstacle-avoiding driving path.
