Detailed Description
The detailed description of the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. The following examples are illustrative of the present application, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
First, several terms referred to in this application are described.
Random sample consensus algorithm (Random Sample Consensus, RANSAC): mathematical model parameters of the data may be iteratively calculated from a set of sample data sets containing anomaly data to distinguish between normal and anomaly data and to obtain model parameters conforming to the data.
The principle of the RANSAC algorithm consists of the following steps performed in a loop:
1. the subset is randomly selected and assumed to be the intra-office point.
2. A model is fitted with the intra-office points, which is adapted to the assumed intra-office points, from which all unknown parameters can be calculated.
3. The model obtained in 2 is used for testing other data in the whole data, and if a certain point is suitable for the estimated model, the certain point is considered to be an intra-local point, and the intra-local point is expanded.
4. If there are enough points to be classified as hypothetical local points, then the estimated model is reasonable enough.
5. The model is re-estimated with all the augmented local points.
6. The model is evaluated by estimating the error rate of the local points and the model.
7. If the current model is better performing than the best model, the current model is selected as the best model, otherwise the current model is discarded.
Inertial measurement unit (Inertial Measurement Unit, IMU): the device for measuring the three-axis attitude angle and the acceleration of the object can calculate the motion attitude of the object in a period of time and can be applied to vehicle positioning.
Normal distribution transformation algorithm (Normal Distributed Transform, NDT): the point cloud registration algorithm is applied to a statistical model of three-dimensional point clouds, and an optimal matching between the two point clouds is determined by using an iterative optimization method, so that corresponding pose transformation is obtained.
Calibrating the hand and the eye: the method is used for calibrating rigid coordinate conversion between the manipulator end camera and the manipulator end at the earliest time. Under the world coordinate system, for motion at any moment, the tail end pose A of the manipulator and the camera pose B both meet motion constraint AX=XB, and the external parameter X can be obtained by optimizing and solving the target equation.
Alternatively, the present application describes, as an example, the execution subject of each embodiment as a control device, which may be installed in a vehicle or a device independent from the vehicle, and the embodiment does not limit the implementation manner of the control device. The control device is in communication connection with the laser radar and the IMU in the current vehicle, and can acquire point cloud data acquired by the laser radar and inertial measurement data acquired by the IMU.

and step 101, acquiring point cloud data acquired by a laser radar and inertial measurement data acquired by an IMU.
The frequencies at which the lidar and IMU collect data are typically different, and typically the frequency at which the lidar collects is lower than the frequency at which the IMU collects. In other words, the acquisition speed of the IMU is faster than that of the lidar. Based on the principle, the control device does not acquire point cloud data acquired by the laser radar and inertial measurement data acquired by the IMU at the same time.
Among other things, inertial measurement data includes, but is not limited to: acceleration values and angle values. Of course, the inertial measurement data may also include other parameters, which are not listed here.

At this time, calculating current laser radar pose information based on the point cloud data includes: registering the processed point cloud data of the adjacent frames by using an NDT algorithm; and obtaining the laser radar pose information according to the pose transformation integral obtained by registration.
And step 103, calculating current IMU pose information based on the inertial measurement data.

Assume that the laser radar pose information for the target timestamp t1 is X1; because the collection frequency of the IMU is very high, there are two time stamps t0 and t2 adjacent to t1, the time stamp t0 corresponds to the IMU pose information Y1, the time stamp t1 corresponds to the IMU pose information Y2, and there may be no IMU pose information corresponding to the target time stamp t 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the IMU pose information Y corresponding to the target timestamp t1 may be estimated using the IMU pose information Y1 corresponding to the timestamp t0 and the IMU pose information Y2 corresponding to the timestamp t 1. Wherein, t0< t1< t2, Y takes the intermediate value proportionally according to the time difference, and is expressed by the following formula:
Y=(t1-t0)/(t2-t0)*Y1+(t2-t1)/(t2-t0)*Y2。

the following steps are circularly executed until the circulation condition does not meet the preset condition: inputting a plurality of groups of aligned pose information groups into a hand-eye calibration equation to obtain a rough extrinsic parameter estimated value; determining a rough model score and a rough outer point set and a rough inner point set in a plurality of groups of aligned pose information groups by using a RANSAC algorithm and a rough outer parameter estimated value; when the score of the rough model is higher than the score threshold, determining a parameter model corresponding to the rough external parameter estimation value as a candidate parameter model;
the following steps are circularly executed until a unique parameter model is screened out from a plurality of candidate parameter models, and the external parameter calibration value corresponding to the parameter model is obtained: inputting the rough inner point set into the hand-eye calibration equation again for the rough inner point set corresponding to each candidate parameter model to obtain a fine outer parameter estimated value; determining again a fine model score, a fine outlier set and a fine inlier set in the coarse inlier set using a RANSAC algorithm and the fine outlier estimate; candidate parametric models that do not meet the model conditions are screened out based on the fine model scores.
