Detailed Description
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system structures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
In order to explain the technical means of the present invention, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.
In the related art, some road edge acquisition methods exist, but the road edge acquisition methods have the problem of limited application scenarios.
For example, a lane line and an edge color change in a road are edge-detected by a visual sensor to obtain a road edge, but the visual sensor cannot perform edge detection in a weather scene unsuitable for the visual sensor, such as a dark rain and fog scene.
For another example, the point cloud position distribution condition of the target in the road is detected through a radar sensor, and then road edge fitting is performed to obtain the road edge, but in an open scene, because of too few effective road targets, the existing road fitting method cannot fit to form the road edge.
In order to solve the problem of the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for acquiring a road edge, and a terminal device. First, a method for acquiring a road edge according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In order to facilitate understanding of the method for acquiring a road edge provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the related technical terms are explained.
1. A real radar target.
The electromagnetic wave is refracted and reflected for many times in the natural environment and then received by the terminal equipment such as the receiver, and the information carried by the electromagnetic wave can be extracted and analyzed through various signal processing and data processing methods. From this information, information such as distance and angle to the transmitter or the environmental object can be known. In a relatively open environment, electromagnetic waves can be received by a receiver of the radar after being reflected by a space target, and at the moment, a receiving system can demodulate and resolve target information normally, and the target can be called a real radar target.
2. A multipath radar target.
When the space of the target is complex, such as indoor, urban area, tunnel, etc., the receiving device receives the electromagnetic wave directly reflected by the target, and also receives the echo generated by multiple combined reflections of the target and the surrounding complex reflecting surface, i.e., the multipath wave. Due to multiple reflections of the multipath signal, the radar will detect a false target at a location in space where no target exists, which may be referred to as a multipath radar target corresponding to a real target.
Since multipath is usually a negative impact of information, it is usually suppressed or culled after the multipath radar target is found. However, the inventors have made further studies on multipath and have proposed a method of acquiring a road edge using multipath.
Next, an implementation body of the road edge obtaining method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described.
The main executing body of the method for acquiring a road edge may be an acquiring device of a road edge, and the acquiring device of a road edge may be a terminal device having a processor and a memory, such as a microwave radar, a vehicle-mounted radar, a traffic radar, a security radar, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for acquiring a road edge according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the following steps:
and step S110, when the first radar frame corresponding to the target road is detected to have the multipath radar target, determining a real radar target corresponding to the multipath radar target in the first radar frame.
In some embodiments, the radar frame corresponding to the target road may include a large number of points reflecting information such as distances, speeds, etc. of various types of targets on the target road, and the sum of these points may be referred to as a point cloud. By clustering the points in the point cloud, radar targets existing in the radar frame, including real radar targets and multipath radar targets, can be acquired. And then, the real radar target corresponding to the multipath radar target in the radar frame can be identified through a track analysis mode and the like.
In this way, when the multipath radar target is detected in the first radar frame corresponding to the target road, the real radar target corresponding to the multipath radar target can be determined.
And step S120, determining multipath reflection points between the multipath radar target and the real radar target in the first radar frame according to the multipath reflection relation between the multipath radar target and the real radar target.
Because the multipath radar target is formed by reflecting the electromagnetic wave reflected by the real radar target by other reflectors, such as wall surfaces on two sides of a road, guardrails, vehicles, billboards and the like, the multipath reflection relationship between the multipath radar target and the real radar target can be determined by utilizing the reflection rule that the incident angle is equal to the exit angle. And then determining a multipath reflection point between the multipath radar target and the real radar target, namely the reflector in the first radar frame according to the multipath reflection relation between the multipath radar target and the real radar target.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned reflector may be regarded as a road edge, i.e., an area where the vehicle cannot currently run. In addition, when there are many reflectors, that is, when there are many multipath reflection points, the distances between the multipath reflection points and the radar can be used to obtain a road edge that is closer to the practical significance, for example, the distances between the multipath reflection points and the radar are processed in a filtering manner to obtain a smooth road edge track.
In some embodiments, a line, i.e., a first line, between the radar corresponding to the first radar frame and the multipath radar target may be acquired. Then, a multipath reflection point between the multipath radar target and the real radar target may be determined in the first connection line, and a connection line of the multipath reflection point and the real radar target, i.e., the second connection line, is a multipath incident path of the multipath radar target.
Specifically, the first line may be a line between a position center of the radar and a cluster center of the multipath radar target. The second line may be a line between the cluster center of the real radar target and the multipath reflection point. An X-Y-O planar coordinate system with the position center of the radar as the origin may be constructed, and then the first connection line and the second connection line may be searched in the planar coordinate system by using the above-mentioned multipath reflection relationship, and accordingly, the intersection point of the first connection line and the second connection line is the multipath reflection point.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of searching a first link and a second link using a straight line equation, and in fig. 2, a lateral distance search range may be set according to positions of a real radar target a and a multi-path radar target B. If the lateral distance of A is Rx1 and the lateral distance of B is Rx2, the search range is (Rx1, Rx 2). The search process is as follows:
the ith search is carried out, the transverse distance of the search is set to Rxi, Rx1< Rxi < Rx2), and at this time, the equation of a straight line can be corresponding to y-Rxi; and finding the intersection point of the first connecting line OB and the straight line equation to be C, and connecting the two points AC. It is determined whether AC and OC satisfy a "incident angle equal to reflection angle" condition with respect to the straight line, i.e., < 1 ═ 2. If so, considering that the AC is the second connecting line, namely the multipath incident path of the multipath radar target, and the point C is the multipath reflection point, thus considering that the search result of the ith search is effective.
Thus, the first connection and the second connection can be searched in the above manner.
And step S130, acquiring the road edge of the target road according to the multipath reflection points of the first radar frame.
In some embodiments, when a multipath reflection point between the multipath radar target and the real radar target in the first radar frame is determined, the multipath reflection point may be used to perform road edge fitting, so as to obtain a lateral distance value, i.e., a first lateral distance value, of a road edge of the target road corresponding to the multipath reflection point, where the first lateral distance value may be a distance from the multipath reflection point to the radar.
Thereafter, in a case where the lateral distance value of the current road edge is null, the first lateral distance value may be determined as the lateral distance value of the road edge of the target road. Correspondingly, in the case that the current lateral distance value of the road edge is a non-null value, and when the difference between the first lateral distance value and the current lateral distance value of the road edge is smaller than a first preset threshold value, for example, a commonly used empirical threshold value, the first lateral distance value and the current lateral distance value of the road edge may be filtered, and then the filtered lateral distance value may be determined as the lateral distance value of the road edge of the target road. Thus, the road edge corresponding to the first radar frame can be obtained.
As shown again in fig. 2, in the planar coordinate system with the position center of the radar as the origin, the first lateral distance value may be the lateral coordinate of the multipath reflection point. Furthermore, the left road edge and the right road edge may be acquired simultaneously. Specifically, when the coordinate of the first lateral distance value is positive, that is, the multipath reflection point is located on the right side of the radar, the first lateral distance value is the lateral distance value of the right road edge of the target road. Accordingly, when the coordinate of the first lateral distance value is negative, i.e., the multi-path reflection point is located on the left side of the radar, the first lateral distance value is the lateral distance value of the left road edge of the target road.
It will be readily appreciated that since radars are typically installed in vehicles, this lateral distance value may be considered to be the distance of the multipath reflecting point from the vehicle.
In some embodiments, the first lateral distance value and the current lateral distance value of the road edge may be filtered by using a mean filtering method. Specifically, filtering may be performed by using RxEdge ═ RxEdge + Rx2)/2, where RxEdge' is the lateral distance value obtained by the filtering, RxEdge is the lateral distance value of the current road edge, and Rx2 is the first lateral distance value.
It is worth mentioning that, because the radar can generate the radar frame continuously, the multipath reflection point can be obtained continuously, and thus, the road edge with a longer length and a longer time can be drawn by using the continuously obtained information of the multipath reflection point.
Through the processing of the embodiment, the method for acquiring the road edge by utilizing the multipath is provided, and the road edge can be acquired in the weather scene such as dark rain and fog or in the open scene, so that the application scene of the road edge acquisition mode is greatly widened.
It should be noted that the application scenario of the method for acquiring a road edge provided in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to a weather scenario such as a dark rain fog or an open scenario, but is also applicable to other scenarios, and is not specifically limited herein.
Optionally, when the method for acquiring a road edge provided in the embodiment of the present invention is applied simultaneously with other types of methods for acquiring a side road edge, the method for acquiring a road edge provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be adopted when the following conditions are satisfied, and corresponding processing may be as follows: acquiring the total number of all multipath reflection points of a first radar frame and a preset number of second radar frames; and the second radar frame is a radar frame before the first radar frame. Thereafter, when the total number of the multi-path reflection points is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold, a lateral distance value of a road edge of the target road may be output.
In some embodiments, the second preset threshold may be set as a point lower limit MinEdgeNum, and when the total number of the multi-path reflection points exceeds MinEdgeNum, the confidence may be considered to be high, and at this time, the lateral distance value of the road edge of the target road may be output, that is, by using the method for acquiring a road edge provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the accuracy of the acquired road edge is effectively improved.
Optionally, when the following conditions are satisfied, the method for acquiring a road edge provided by the embodiment of the present invention may also be adopted, and the corresponding processing may be as follows: and acquiring the total quantity of all field values of the first radar frame and the second radar frames with the preset quantity. When the total number of the outliers is smaller than the third preset threshold, the confidence is considered to be high, and at this time, the lateral distance value of the road edge of the target road can be output, that is, the method for acquiring the road edge provided by the embodiment of the invention is adopted, so that the accuracy of the acquired road edge is effectively improved.
In some embodiments, when the difference between the first lateral distance value and the current lateral distance value of the road edge is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, the first lateral distance value may be marked as the outlier. Therefore, the total quantity of all the field values of the first radar frame and the preset number of second radar frames can be quickly acquired based on the pre-marked field values.
Optionally, when the following conditions are satisfied, the method for acquiring a road edge provided by the embodiment of the present invention may also be adopted, and the corresponding processing may be as follows: and acquiring the variance of all the transverse distance values of the first radar frame and a preset number of second radar frames. When the variance is smaller than the fourth preset threshold, the confidence coefficient is considered to be high, and at this time, the transverse distance value of the road edge of the target road can be output, that is, the accuracy of the obtained road edge is effectively improved by adopting the method for obtaining the road edge provided by the embodiment of the invention.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the multipath radar target exists in the first radar frame corresponding to the target road, the real radar target corresponding to the multipath radar target can be determined in the first radar frame. Then, a multipath reflection point between the multipath radar target and the real radar target may be determined in the first radar frame according to a multipath reflection relationship between the multipath radar target and the real radar target. Finally, the road edge of the target road may be obtained according to the multipath reflection points of the first radar frame. Therefore, the method for acquiring the road edge by using the multipath is provided, and the road edge can be acquired in the dark weather scene or the open scene, so that the application scene of the road edge acquisition mode is greatly widened.
