Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a lidar calibration method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the lidar calibration method is applied to an intelligent device, and is detailed as follows:
step 101, point cloud data corresponding to a first laser beam emitted by a first laser radar and point cloud data corresponding to a second laser beam emitted by a second laser radar are obtained.
In this embodiment, the first lidar and the second lidar are disposed on the same smart device, wherein the smart device may be a robot or an unmanned vehicle, and the first lidar and the second lidar may be multiline lidar, such as 32-line lidar. Through the first laser radar and the second laser radar, the calibration object can be detected, and point cloud data describing the calibration object is obtained. In order to realize the joint calibration of the first laser radar and the second laser radar, point cloud data corresponding to a first laser beam emitted by the first laser radar and point cloud data corresponding to a second laser beam emitted by the second laser radar can be obtained. For example, if the laser beam 3 emitted by the first laser radar and the laser beam 20 emitted by the second laser radar are both projected to the point a, the laser beam 3 may be used as the first laser beam and the laser beam 20 may be used as the second laser beam.
Referring to fig. 2, the first laser radar and the second laser radar may be located in the same vertical plane, and the angles of view of the first laser radar and the second laser radar are both directed toward the calibration object, so that the angle of view of the first laser radar and the angle of view of the second laser radar have an overlapping region, so as to ensure that the first laser beam and the second laser beam exist. In fig. 2, the first laser beam and the second laser beam are both projected to an e point on the calibration object, the e point is a target point, the distance between the first laser radar and the second laser radar in the horizontal direction is D, the distance between the first laser radar and the e point in the horizontal direction is L, the height of the first laser radar from the ground is h1, the height of the second laser radar from the ground is h2, the height of the e point from the ground is h, the angle between the first laser beam and the center line of the field of view of the first laser radar is α, and the angle between the second laser beam and the center line of the field of view of the second laser radar is β.
And 102, determining a calibration value according to the point cloud data corresponding to the first laser beam and the point cloud data corresponding to the second laser beam.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first laser beam and the second laser beam are projected to the same target point of the calibration object, that is, both the point cloud data corresponding to the first laser beam and the point cloud data corresponding to the second laser beam are used to describe the target point, where the point cloud data includes, but is not limited to, distance data (used to represent the distance between the target point and the lidar) and angle data (used to represent the angle of the target point in the field of view of the lidar). After the point cloud data corresponding to the first laser beam and the point cloud data corresponding to the second laser beam are obtained, the point cloud data corresponding to the first laser beam and the point cloud data corresponding to the second laser beam can be compared, and then the calibration value is determined according to the comparison result.
For example, a difference value between the point cloud data corresponding to the first laser beam and the point cloud data corresponding to the second laser beam may be used as a calibration value. For example, assuming that the point cloud data corresponding to the first laser beam indicates that the target point is 6 meters ahead and the angle is 45 degrees, and the point cloud data corresponding to the second laser beam indicates that the target point is 5.98 meters ahead and the angle is 44.8 degrees, based on this, 6 meters-5.98 meters-0.02 meters and 45 degrees-44.8 degrees-0.2 degrees can be taken as calibration values.
And 103, carrying out combined calibration on the first laser radar and the second laser radar according to the calibration value.
In the embodiment of the application, after the calibration value is obtained, the joint calibration of the first laser radar and the second laser radar can be completed according to the calibration value, so that the point cloud data of the first laser radar and the point cloud data of the second laser radar can be converted. For example, assuming that the calibration value includes a distance calibration value of 0.02 m and an angle calibration value of 0.2 degrees, the distance data in the point cloud data of the second lidar may be added by 0.02 m, and the angle data in the point cloud data of the second lidar may be added by 0.2 degrees, so as to complete the joint calibration of the first lidar and the second lidar.
Optionally, the first laser radar and the second laser radar are both multiline laser radars, and before step 101, the method further includes:
a1, determining a target point and acquiring the position of the target point;
a2, obtaining the relative position relation between the target point and the first laser radar and the second laser radar based on the position of the target point;
a3, determining a first laser beam in at least two laser beams emitted by a first laser radar according to the relative position relationship between a target point and the first laser radar;
and A4, determining a second laser beam in at least two laser beams emitted by the second laser radar according to the relative position relationship between the target point and the second laser radar.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to determine the first laser beam and the second laser beam, it is first necessary to determine a target point on the calibration object and acquire the position of the target point. After the position of the target point is obtained, the relative position relationship between the target point and the first laser radar and the relative position relationship between the target point and the second laser radar can be obtained based on the position of the target point. Since the positions of the first laser radar and the second laser radar on the intelligent device are fixed, and the emission direction of each laser beam is also fixed, according to the relative position relationship between the target point and the first laser radar, it can be determined which of the at least two laser beams emitted by the first laser radar is projected on the target point, and then the laser beams projected on the target point from the at least two laser beams are used as the first laser beams.
Optionally, the step a1 specifically includes:
determining at least one intersection point and the position of each intersection point according to the transmitting direction of each path of laser beams transmitted by the first laser radar and the transmitting direction of each path of laser beams transmitted by the second laser radar;

based on the position of each intersection and the object distance, a target point is determined from the at least one intersection, and the position of the target point is acquired.
In this application embodiment, set up first lidar and second lidar behind the smart machine, can locally take notes the emission direction of each way laser beam of first lidar transmission and the emission direction of each way laser beam of second lidar transmission to the smart machine reads. The intelligent device can determine at least one intersection point and the position of each intersection point according to the transmitting direction of each path of laser beams transmitted by the first laser radar and the transmitting direction of each path of laser beams transmitted by the second laser radar, wherein the intersection point refers to a point where the laser beams transmitted by the first laser radar and the laser beams transmitted by the second laser radar intersect. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, points Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5 in fig. 3 are all cross points, and it is understood that other cross points exist in fig. 3, which are not listed here. The object distance may be a distance between the calibration object and the first laser radar, or a distance between the calibration object and the second laser radar. When the object distance is the distance between the calibration object and the first laser radar, the intelligent device can obtain the object distance according to the point cloud data of the first laser radar; when the object distance is the distance between the calibration object and the second laser radar, the intelligent device can acquire the object distance according to the point cloud data of the second laser radar.
Finally, based on the position of each intersection and the object distance, a target point can be determined from at least one intersection, and the position of the target point can be obtained. Specifically, for an intersection, it may be determined whether the intersection falls on the surface of the calibration object according to the position of the intersection and the object distance, and if the intersection falls on the surface of the calibration object, the intersection is determined as the target point, and the position of the intersection is also the position of the target point.
In one possible embodiment, for convenience of calculation, a position of a closest intersection point to the smart device may be acquired, and then, based on the position of the intersection point, a point on the surface of the calibration object that is level with the intersection point is determined as a target point, and the target point is located in the same vertical plane as the first lidar and the second lidar. Specifically, referring to fig. 4, the field angles of the first laser radar and the second laser radar have an overlapping region (e.g., a shaded portion), where point O is a closest intersection point to the smart device, point O is taken as a starting point, a line Oc is obtained by taking the point O as an extension line in the horizontal direction, and a point e where the line Oc intersects with the calibration object is a target point.
Optionally, the step a2 specifically includes:
the first deviation angle and the second deviation angle are derived based on the position of the target point.
In this embodiment, the relative position relationship between the target point and the first lidar includes a first deviation angle, and the relative position relationship between the target point and the second lidar includes a second deviation angle, where the first deviation angle is an angle at which the target point deviates from a view field center line of the first lidar, and the second deviation angle is an angle at which the target point deviates from a view field center line of the second lidar, with respect to the second lidar. Referring to fig. 2, α in fig. 2 is a first deviation angle, β is a second deviation angle; the first deviation angle α ═ arctan ((h-h1)/L) can be obtained from the trigonometric function tan α ═ h1)/L, and the second deviation angle β ═ arctan ((h2-h)/(L + D) can be obtained from the trigonometric function tan β ═ (h2-h)/(L + D). D, h1 and h2 can be measured in advance by a worker and input into the smart device.
Optionally, the step a3 specifically includes:
acquiring a first included angle between each path of laser beam emitted by the first laser radar and a view field central line of the first laser radar;
a laser beam having a first included angle equal to the first deviation angle is determined as the first laser beam.
In this embodiment of the application, according to the emission direction of each laser beam emitted by the first laser radar, a first included angle between each laser beam emitted by the first laser radar and the view field center line of the first laser radar may be obtained, and then, among all laser beams emitted by the first laser radar, a laser beam having the first included angle equal to the first deviation angle is searched, where the laser beam is a laser beam projected to a target point, that is, the first laser beam.
Optionally, the step a4 specifically includes:
acquiring a second included angle between each path of laser beam emitted by the second laser radar and the view field center line of the second laser radar;
in this embodiment of the application, according to the emission direction of each laser beam emitted by the second lidar, a second included angle between each laser beam emitted by the second lidar and the view field center line of the second lidar may be obtained, and then, among all laser beams emitted by the second lidar, laser beams having the second included angle equal to the second deviation angle are searched, where the laser beam is a laser beam projected to a target point, that is, the second laser beam.
Optionally, in order to improve the accuracy of the joint calibration, the step 102 specifically includes:
determining m calibration values according to the point cloud data corresponding to the m paths of first laser beams and the point cloud data corresponding to the m paths of second laser beams, wherein m is an integer greater than 1;
correspondingly, the step 103 specifically includes:
and carrying out combined calibration on the first laser radar and the second laser radar according to the average value of the m calibration values.
In the embodiment of the application, the intelligent device may determine m target points on the calibration object, and further determine m paths of the first laser beams and m paths of the second laser beams according to the positions of the m target points. The ith first laser beam and the ith second laser beam are projected to the same target point of the calibration object, and the ith first laser beam and the remaining m-1 first laser beams in the m first laser beams are projected to different target points of the calibration object, where i is 1, 2, …, m, for example, the ith first laser beam and the ith second laser beam are projected to the ith target point of the calibration object. After point cloud data corresponding to m first laser beams and point cloud data corresponding to m second laser beams are obtained, m calibration values can be determined according to the point cloud data corresponding to m first laser beams and the point cloud data corresponding to m second laser beams, and specifically, the ith calibration value can be determined according to the point cloud data corresponding to the ith first laser beam and the point cloud data corresponding to the ith second laser beam. And finally, calculating the average value of the m calibration values, and then carrying out combined calibration on the first laser radar and the second laser radar according to the average value of the m calibration values, thereby improving the accuracy of the combined calibration.

According to the technical scheme, the first laser beam is transmitted through the first laser radar, the second laser beam is transmitted through the second laser radar, and the first laser beam and the second laser beam are projected at the same target point, so that point cloud data corresponding to the first laser beam and the second laser beam are used for representing the target point, and then the calibration value can be determined according to the point cloud data corresponding to the first laser beam and the second laser beam, so that automatic calibration can be realized by using the calibration value, and the calibration precision and the calibration efficiency are improved.
