Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The technical means used in the examples are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art unless otherwise indicated.
The invention discloses a panoramic photo-based high-precision navigation method, which comprises the steps of firstly establishing a panoramic photo reference characteristic line database, then comparing the panoramic photo taken during normal running of a vehicle with the reference characteristic line database, and immediately positioning after the result is compared.
Referring to fig. 2 to 3, the reference feature line database is obtained by: according to a panoramic camera with a GPS positioning device arranged at the top of a data collection vehicle, in the running process, 360-degree photographing is carried out on the surrounding environment to form continuous panoramic photos with positioning data, a photo group 1 is obtained through aggregation, and characteristic lines are extracted from the photo group 1 independently to form a database I; then, vehicles of different types (such as a sedan, SUV, truck, special vehicle and the like) are arranged at a certain distance around the data collection vehicle, and the photo group 2 is obtained by repeating the manner of obtaining the photo group 1; in the photo group 2, the vehicle contour around the data collection vehicle is identified, the images from the vehicle contour to the interior are ignored, and the feature lines are extracted from the images which are not ignored in the photo group 2 to form a database II. If the number of the characteristic lines in the database II is small, the situation is marked as the situation that the positioning is impossible; if the number of the characteristic lines exceeds a certain value (for example, the picture of the photo is 100%, the covered vehicle occupies 60% of the picture, and the characteristic line ratio in the rest 40% of the pictures reaches more than 5-10%), the effective data is recorded and can be used for subsequent comparison.
The shooting mode of the panoramic photo during normal running of the vehicle is as follows: when a vehicle enters a complex terrain (the complex terrain refers to places which cannot be positioned or are difficult to position, such as an overpass and a mountain-turning highway) by means of GPS positioning, a panoramic camera (the panoramic camera can rotate 360 degrees in a horizontal plane) positioned at the top of the vehicle starts to take a front photo in real time, and the front photo is specifically shown in FIG. 1, combined with GPS positioning data, compared with a database I and positioned; when a vehicle enters a complex terrain and other vehicles are in front of the vehicle, and the distance between the other vehicles in front and the running vehicle is smaller than L0, a panoramic camera positioned at the top of the vehicle starts to take a front photo in real time, combines the front photo with GPS positioning data, and then compares and positions the front photo with a database II.
Yet another case is:
if the shielding vehicle cannot be positioned in front, judging the height difference between the shielding vehicle and the running vehicle through the photo shot by the panoramic camera, and executing the following steps:
A1. taking the roof of a running vehicle as a horizontal line, if the height of a shielding vehicle is lower than or equal to that of the running vehicle, rotating the panoramic camera by 90 degrees towards one side, and taking a panoramic photo in a panoramic photo mode in the rotating process, wherein the photographing range of the panoramic photo is 180 degrees; if the panoramic photo still cannot be positioned, continuing to rotate to enable the shooting range of the panoramic photo to be 270 degrees until 360 degrees; comparing the finally shot panoramic photo with a database I acquired in advance, and immediately positioning after comparing out the result; if the positioning is still impossible finally, executing the step A2;
A2. controlling the navigation device to lift the height between the panoramic camera and the running vehicle, matching the rotation of the panoramic camera at the height, wherein the rotation shooting range of the panoramic camera is the same as that of the step A1 until the shooting range of the panoramic camera is 360 degrees, finally shooting a panoramic photo, comparing with a database I acquired in advance, and immediately positioning after comparing the result;
A3. if the height of the shielding vehicle is higher than that of the driving vehicle, the panoramic camera rotates to shoot until the shooting range is 360 degrees, finally shooting a panoramic photo, comparing the panoramic photo with a database II acquired in advance, and immediately positioning after comparing the result; if the positioning cannot be performed, executing the step A4;
A4. controlling a navigation device to lift the distance between the panoramic camera and the running vehicle, shooting a front photo at the height, comparing with a database II acquired in advance, positioning, and executing the step A5 if positioning fails;
A5. and (3) rotating the panoramic camera under the height, wherein the rotating shooting range of the panoramic camera is the same as that of the step A1 until the shooting range of the panoramic camera is 360 degrees, finally shooting a panoramic picture, comparing with a database II acquired in advance, and immediately positioning after comparing the result. The final field Jing Canjian is shown in fig. 2, and the characteristic lines which can be extracted in the photograph are the left and right overhead and overpasses of the road, the signboard above and the line of the road.
For step A3, it should be noted that: if the height of the shielding vehicle (such as SUV or truck) is higher than that of the driving vehicle, serious shielding is caused to the driving vehicle, and when the positioning cannot be performed, the panoramic camera can be directly rotated by 90 degrees to the left or right for shooting, and even the rear of the vehicle can be shot after 180 degrees of rotation, so that the positioning is performed. And the time for starting the navigation device can be manually set according to the needs of a driver. The steps A4-A5 are performed only at a faster speed for locating the traveling vehicle than the steps A4-A5.
When photographing the periphery of the running vehicle, the invention considers the interference problem formed by other vehicles around the running vehicle in advance, and the position of the running vehicle at the moment is judged more quickly and the accuracy is higher by comparing the photographed picture of the running vehicle in the running or static process with the characteristic lines in the database I and the database II obtained by photographing in advance. When the vehicle runs on a road with non-complex terrain, the real-time positioning can be realized by combining with a GPS, and the panoramic camera is used according to the actual situation of a driver.

The distance between the two support plates 28 is greater than the width of the connecting post 7, so that the connecting post 7 passes smoothly through the guide assembly.
Further, in order to avoid that the guide assembly is clamped between the bending part and the movable barrel 5 when passing through the bending part of the rack 8, the hole at the joint of the rotating shaft 26 and the guide plate 25 is preferably a waist-shaped hole 31 which is transversely arranged, the rotating shaft 26 is a square column, the rotating shaft 26 is prevented from rotating in the waist-shaped hole 31, the two ends of the rotating shaft 26 extending out of the guide plate 25 are inserted with bolts 32 perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 26, and the rotating shaft 26 is prevented from being separated from the guide plate 25. Meanwhile, in the waist-shaped hole 31, a third elastic member 30 is disposed between the rotation shaft 26 and the inner wall of the waist-shaped hole 31, and the third elastic member 30 may be a spring, a reed, or other elastic component, so as to support the second roller 27 against the outer sidewall of the movable barrel 5.

Similarly, the rotation shafts on the second roller 29 may be set in the same manner, and will not be described in detail.
When the navigation device is used, only the motor 21 is required to be controlled to start, so that the gear 24 drives the rack 81 to walk upwards until the limiting block 10 abuts against the upper surface of the limiting cylinder 12, and meanwhile, the limiting column 14 is inserted into the limiting hole 11 under the action of the first elastic piece 15, so that the two movable cylinders are successfully connected together. If the elevation of the panoramic camera 3 is insufficient at this time, only the motor 21 is required to be continuously started, so that the gear 24 drives the rack 81 to move to the bending position of the rack 81, and under the action of the second elastic piece 22, the motor 21 moves the distance between the inclined plane of the rack 81 and the vertical part, and the distance gradually increases until the gear 24 is meshed with the rack 82, and then the movable cylinder 52 and the movable cylinder sleeved in the movable cylinder are in butt joint and fixed along with the movement of the motor 21. In the same manner until the gear 24 is engaged to the bottom end of the rack 83, thereby elevating the panoramic camera 3 to the highest level.
