Description

Radar target clustering method and device
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of automatic driving, in particular to a radar target clustering method and device.
Background
An Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) performs data acquisition, analysis and related processing on the surrounding environment through a vehicle-mounted sensor, so that the detection and tracking of target objects around a vehicle are realized, the possibility of danger of the vehicle in the automatic driving process is greatly reduced, and the safety of traffic travel is improved. Thus, the in-vehicle sensor needs to be able to monitor the environment around the driven vehicle in real time, and can exhibit a robust adaptive detection effect when the environment changes. Meanwhile, the complex and variable road conditions also provide strict requirements for the detection precision of the vehicle-mounted sensor. Therefore, it is a difficult point to realize real-time high-precision detection of a monitoring target in a dynamic environment. The millimeter wave radar is one of the commonly used vehicle-mounted radars, and can effectively meet the requirements in the automatic driving process. Millimeter wave radar has been paid great attention to because of its long detection distance, high measurement accuracy and strong penetration ability. The method is an indispensable key technology for automatic driving in the future. Meanwhile, due to the high resolution of the millimeter wave radar and the high complexity of the traffic road condition environment, the scattering characteristics of the detected target present complex diversity. The number of scattering points of a single target is usually not unique, and when the number of scattering points of a target is large, tracking all the scattering points greatly increases the processing complexity of the system, especially in a multi-target environment. Therefore, the method for tracking all scattering points is not practical to be applied in a real scene. Therefore, it is important to study the statistical properties of the scattering points of the target.
Clustering (clustering) analysis, as a widely used data information analysis method, can extract the statistical characteristics of objects and distinguish the classes of the objects. Therefore, under the condition of multi-target multi-scattering points, clustering all the scattering points can extract the characteristic information of the scattering points corresponding to each detection target under the condition of distinguishing different detection targets, so as to realize the positioning and tracking of the multi-target under the complex environment. In the millimeter wave radar target tracking process, the realization of clustering analysis on different target scattering points is very important, so that the problem how to improve the accuracy and robustness of a clustering algorithm becomes the problem to be solved at present.

In the scheme, a radar target clustering process uses a new ant colony clustering Algorithm (ACC) algorithm, a first sample is determined in a plurality of radar samples, and a plurality of regions are determined in a range of a preset clustering radius R on a plane defined by a first coordinate axis and a second coordinate axis by taking the first sample as a center, so as to provide reference for clustering of the first sample; based on the plurality of regions, a clustering criterion of the first sample is calculated and established through the similarity between the first sample and each region, and the similarity represents the similarity between the first sample and the radar sample in each region, so that the cluster to which the first sample belongs is determined according to the cluster information of the radar sample in the target region with the maximum similarity, the first sample can be more quickly close to the center of one region, and the convergence speed of the algorithm is improved; the scheme has no requirement on the number of clusters, the parameters are simple and only relate to the preset clustering radius R, the parameter input is minimized, and the accuracy and the robustness of target clustering are effectively improved.

The similarity can be characterized by the similarity of the distance, speed, acceleration, angle and other parameters between the radar samples. For example, if the average euclidean distance between the first sample and the radar sample in a region is small, the first sample is said to have a high similarity with the radar sample in the region, and can be classified as a class after clustering.

Detailed Description
The technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application are first described as follows:
the K-means, K-means clustering algorithm (K-means clustering algorithm) is an iterative solution clustering analysis algorithm, and comprises the steps of dividing data into K groups in advance, randomly selecting K objects as initial clustering centers, calculating the distance between each object and each seed clustering center, and allocating each object to the nearest clustering center. The cluster centers and the objects assigned to them represent a cluster. The cluster center of a cluster is recalculated for each sample assigned based on the objects existing in the cluster. This process will be repeated until some termination condition is met. The termination condition may be that no (or minimum number) objects are reassigned to different clusters, no (or minimum number) cluster centers are changed again, and the sum of squared errors is locally minimal.
The Dbscan, a noise-based density clustering method with noise, is a density-based clustering method, and divides a current sample point and other sample points according to a connection relation by defining three relations of density direct, density reachable and density connection, so as to realize the final clustering of the sample points. When the Dbscan algorithm is executed, a neighborhood distance threshold value X is required to be given, and therefore the neighborhood S is defined as a subset formed by all points in the sample set, wherein the distance between the points and the current sample point is not more than X. Meanwhile, a sample number threshold value M in the neighborhood is given. When the number of other sample points in the neighborhood S of the sample point is not less than M, the point is marked as a core object. All core objects in the sample set are first computed and labeled. Then, any core object in the sample set is selected as a starting point, and then sample points having a density reachable relation with the starting point are found as a set, wherein all the points in the set have the same category relation. All core objects are traversed in this manner until the end.
ACO, the rationale for ant colony optimization, is: and (3) representing a feasible solution of the problem to be optimized by using the walking paths of the ants, wherein all paths of the whole ant group form a solution space of the problem to be optimized. The shorter ants release a larger amount of pheromone, and as time advances, the concentration of pheromone accumulated on the shorter paths gradually increases, and the number of ants selecting the paths also increases. Finally, the whole ant can be concentrated on the optimal path under the action of positive feedback, and the corresponding optimal solution of the problem to be optimized is obtained. Ant Colony Clustering (ACC) is a method for clustering based on current data density. The process of finding food and carrying corpses by ants can be regarded as an intelligent autonomous clustering process, and each ant autonomously approaches to the place with the largest number of ants according to the intensity of pheromones to finally form clusters. The traditional ant colony clustering algorithm places all sample points in a two-dimensional grid, places a plurality of ants in the two-dimensional grid, and clusters all the sample points by utilizing the continuous movement of the ants in the two-dimensional grid.

In the radar target clustering method, after a radar echo signal of a target (e.g., a vehicle or a person) is subjected to signal processing (ranging, speed measuring, angle measuring, and the like), a plurality of scattering points and/or reflecting points (a large number of scattering points and/or reflecting points form a point cloud) of the target in a three-dimensional space are obtained, and thus one target corresponds to the plurality of scattering points and/or reflecting points. A scattering point and/or a reflection point of a target in the present invention is also referred to as a first sample, a target point or a radar sample.
Referring to fig. 2, a radar target clustering method is provided, which includes the following steps:
101. first coordinate information of the multiple radar samples on a first coordinate axis and second coordinate information of a second coordinate axis are obtained, wherein the first coordinate axis is perpendicular to the second coordinate axis.
In this step, referring to fig. 3, when the method is applied to a driving road scene, the terminal device may sample people and vehicles in the driving road scene shown in fig. 3 through the radar sensor, and generate a radar sample. The radar samples may be recorded as a run of sample points, and each sample point may be, for example, first coordinate information on a first coordinate axis X, second coordinate information on a second coordinate axis Y, and third coordinate information on a third coordinate axis Z having three spatial coordinates, wherein X, Y, Z form a three-dimensional spatial coordinate system, and two of the three coordinate systems are perpendicular to each other, because the radar samples are collected in a three-dimensional space. In step 101, since only the coordinate information of X, Y two-axis coordinates is used, the three-dimensional radar sample can be divided into two parts, one part stores XY coordinate information { X, Y } and the other part stores Z coordinate information { Z }. Of course, the scheme is mainly described by taking a driving road scene as an example, so the terminal device is mainly described by taking a vehicle-mounted terminal as an example. Of course, when the method is applied to a virtual reality scene, for example, a home VR game scene, for example, when object identification clustering needs to be performed on articles in a home, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the application may also be used in VR devices.
102. For a first sample in the radar samples, a plurality of areas within a predetermined clustering radius R range are determined on a plane defined by the first coordinate axis and the second coordinate axis with the first sample as the center.
In step 102, the distances between the other samples in the coordinate system and the first sample O are calculated using the coordinate information { X, Y } of the first sample O as a center. For other samples, the neighborhood of the first sample 0 in the range of the radius R can be determined by using the set predetermined clustering radius R, and then a plurality of regions can be determined in the range of the predetermined clustering radius R by using a similar two-dimensional coordinate plane quadrant division mode. Referring specifically to FIG. 4, four square regions can be defined within a neighborhood of radius R, each region being R/(2^ (1/2)) in length and width. As shown in fig. 4, a plurality of regions (1-4) are determined in the coordinate system, the regions 1-4 all belonging within the neighbourhood of the first sample O. The shape of the region in FIG. 4 is described above by taking a square with a side length of R/(2^ (1/2)) as an example. Furthermore, the shape of the region may also be: circular, fan-shaped, or polygonal. As shown in fig. 5, the neighborhood of the first sample O may also be directly divided into four sectorial regions (1-4), although more sectorial regions are also possible. For another example, referring to fig. 6, more regions may be determined in the neighborhood of the first sample O, such as regions (1-9) in the form of a squared figure as shown in fig. 6. Or as shown in fig. 7, circular areas (1-4) are determined in the neighborhood of the first sample O, and so on.
Further, it should be noted that: for the predetermined cluster radius R, the predetermined cluster radius R is set before clustering starts. The value of R is obtained according to the required clustering resolution and/or the spacing distance between each target object in the actual road scene. For example, for a scene with small target interval and pedestrians/bicycles, R is set to be 0.6-0.8 m; for a scenario where the target separation is large, and the primary detection target is a vehicle, R is set to about 1.5 meters. When the point cloud detection characteristics are not ideal resulting in a lack of density between multiple points of a single target, R may be further lengthened. In addition, the first sample O may be any one of the radar samples, and since the multiple radar samples need to be traversed, any one of the multiple radar samples may be selected as the second sample at the next time, and the following steps may be performed.
103. And calculating the similarity of the first sample and each of the plurality of areas according to the first coordinate information and the second coordinate information of the first sample and the radar sample in each of the plurality of areas on the first coordinate axis and the second coordinate information of the radar sample in each of the plurality of areas on the second coordinate axis.
Wherein, step 103 specifically comprises: determining Euclidean distances between the first sample and the radar sample in each of the plurality of areas according to the first coordinate information of the first sample and the second coordinate information of the radar sample in each of the plurality of areas on the first coordinate axis and the second coordinate information of the radar sample in the second coordinate axis; the similarity of the first sample to each of the plurality of regions is calculated based on the euclidean distance. Wherein the similarity is a parameter indicating the degree of similarity (or correlation) of the first sample O with radar samples in one of the areas 1-4 (taking fig. 4 as an example). The similarity may be characterized by the similarity of parameters such as distance, velocity, acceleration, angle, etc. between samples. For example, if the average euclidean distance between the first sample and the radar sample of an area is small, the first sample is said to have a high similarity with the radar sample of the area, and can be classified into one class after clustering.
Two specific methods for calculating the similarity are provided below, method one: the similarity is calculated according to the following formula.

It can be seen that the similarity is defined in this scheme as the reciprocal sum of the sum of absolute differences of the X-axis and Y-axis coordinates of all radar samples in the region and the first sample.
The second method comprises the following steps: the similarity is calculated according to the following formula.

Where four regions (1-4) are obtained in 102 above, the similarity of each region (1-4) needs to be calculated.
104. And determining the area with the maximum similarity as a target area according to the similarity between the first sample and each of the plurality of areas, and determining the cluster to which the first sample belongs according to the cluster information of the radar samples in the target area.
Furthermore, before step 104, the first sample needs to be moved into the target region with the greatest similarity. The method specifically comprises the following steps: and updating the first coordinate information of the first sample to be the mean value of the first coordinate information of the radar samples in the target area, and updating the second coordinate information of the first sample to be the mean value of the second coordinate information of the radar samples in the target area. For the current first sample O, comparing the similarity sizes corresponding to all the areas (such as areas 1-4 in FIG. 4), moving the first sample to the target area with the maximum similarity, and taking the mean value of the coordinate information of all the radar samples in the target area as the new coordinate information of the first sample O. Specifically, according to the similarity corresponding to the four regions obtained by calculation, when the maximum value is not 0, moving the first sample O to the region with the maximum similarity, and taking the mean value of the coordinate information of all radar samples in the region as the new coordinate information of the first sample O; and when the maximum value of the similarity is 0, it represents that the current first sample O is an independent noise point, and the first sample O is not moved.
Further, in step 104, the cluster information indicates information that the radar sample in the target area has indicating which cluster it belongs to, for example, the cluster information may be a cluster number. In this way, the cluster number can indicate the number of the cluster (cluster) to which each radar sample belongs after clustering the radar samples. The cluster number to which each radar sample belongs in each iteration may vary depending on the clustering result for the first sample. Specifically, according to the movement characteristic of the first sample O, when the first sample O is not an independent noise point, if the first sample O has no cluster number, the cluster number of the first sample O is updated to the cluster number of the radar sample closest to the first sample in the target area, that is, the cluster number of the radar sample C closest to the first sample O is assigned to the first sample O; or if the radar sample C closest to the first sample O has no cluster number, the cluster number of the first sample O is updated to the cluster number with the largest cluster number used by the radar sample in the target area, that is, the cluster number with the largest occurrence number in the target area is assigned to the first sample O.
In addition, for the case that the first sample O is an independent noise point, skipping the cluster number updating stage, and iterating the samples of other independent non-noise points which are not updated in the loop; and for the condition that the first sample is the dependent noise point, after moving and updating the cluster number, the iterative sample replacement is consistent with the dependent noise point condition.
And after all the radar samples are subjected to iteration updating, judging whether the iteration reaches a convergence condition, if so, ending the loop, and otherwise, continuing to perform the next iteration. The steps of determining the convergence condition are specifically: and after each iteration, calculating the sum S of the distances between the first sample O in each cluster and all other radar samples in the cluster, and judging that the clustering is finished when the calculation result S is less than a preset threshold. Generally, when the number of iterations is about 3, the clustering process of the sample data can be converged. And after the iteration is stopped, regarding the radar samples with the same cluster number as the radar samples of the same cluster, thereby finishing the clustering of each radar sample.
Finally, the third coordinate information of the first sample O on the third coordinate axis (Z axis) is updated in the following manner: and updating the third coordinate information of the first sample O on the third coordinate axis to be the mean value of the radar samples in the target area on the third coordinate information of the third coordinate axis.
In the scheme, a radar target clustering process uses a new ant colony clustering algorithm ACC algorithm, a first sample is determined in a plurality of radar samples, and a plurality of areas are determined in a range of a preset clustering radius R on a plane defined by a first coordinate axis and a second coordinate axis by taking the first sample as a center, so as to provide reference for clustering of the first sample; based on the plurality of regions, a clustering criterion of the first sample is calculated and established through the similarity between the first sample and each region, and the similarity represents the similarity between the first sample and the radar sample in each region, so that the cluster to which the first sample belongs is determined according to the cluster information of the radar sample in the target region with the maximum similarity, the first sample can be more quickly close to the center of one region, and the convergence speed of the algorithm is improved; the scheme has no requirement on the number of clusters, the parameters are simple and only relate to the preset clustering radius R, the parameter input is minimized, and the accuracy and the robustness of the target clustering method are effectively improved.
The specific effect of the target clustering algorithm provided by the embodiment of the present application is explained with reference to fig. 8, where fig. 8 provides a radar sample illustration for the traveling road scene illustrated in fig. 3, where the units of the X-axis and the Y-axis are m, and each point represents a scattering point and/or a reflection point of a target, the speed velocity (m/s) of the radar sample is also illustrated in fig. 8, where fig. 9 provides a clustering result of the radar sample in the traveling road scene illustrated in fig. 8 by using Dbscan, fig. 10 provides a clustering result of the radar sample in the traveling road scene illustrated in fig. 8 by the scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application, where one point in fig. 9 and 10 represents one target (e.g. a vehicle or a person) in fig. 3, and fig. 9 and 10 clearly show that the clustering result of Dbscan in a circle is classified as one radar sample, the clustering result of the method is classified by two samples, so that the clustering result of the graph 10 is consistent with two pedestrian targets in a circle in the graph 3, and the accuracy of the clustering result is higher; and two pedestrian targets in the circle in fig. 3 are clustered into one target in fig. 9, so that the clustering result is low in accuracy.
In addition, compared with a K-mean algorithm, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the application avoids the limitation caused by the condition that the K cannot be known because the clustering number K does not need to be known in advance. Compared with the traditional ACC, the convergence speed is too low due to the pointless ant colony clustering movement, the movement criterion of the first sample is set in the method, so that the first sample can be more quickly close to the center of the area, and the convergence speed of the algorithm is improved. Compared with a Dbscan algorithm, the method has the advantages that due to the fact that double-parameter X, M joint deployment is needed in an actual scene, the method is high in algorithm complexity and poor in clustering performance, and only one parameter R is adopted, so that the algorithm complexity is reduced, the clustering performance is improved, and the robustness of the algorithm is effectively guaranteed.
