Detailed Description
Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that: the relative arrangement of the components and steps, the numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure unless specifically stated otherwise.
Meanwhile, it should be understood that the sizes of the respective portions shown in the drawings are not drawn in an actual proportional relationship for the convenience of description.
The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the disclosure, its application, or uses.
Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but are intended to be part of the specification where appropriate.
In all examples shown and discussed herein, any particular value should be construed as merely illustrative, and not limiting. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, further discussion thereof is not required in subsequent figures.
As mentioned above, the goods are not placed neatly on the goods shelf and easily slide off to form obstacles; some commodities are wrapped with a clinker film, and the commodities are easy to slide and form obstacles.
Some shelves are open greatly, if the fish tape on the goods shelves is not tied well, or the fish tape drops off in the driving process and other uncontrollable factors, the situation that goods and the grid baffle of the goods shelves drop on the ground from the goods shelves in the actual operation process can be caused. There are also other non-rack items, such as cleaning implements, etc., that are lost to the area where the AGV operates due to some human factor.
These conditions can cause the AGV to detect a front obstacle while traveling. In order to ensure safety and prevent the AGV from colliding with a barrier, the AGV can automatically decelerate and stop in front of the barrier, and can continue to run after manual treatment for removing the barrier. This delays normal production operation.
In addition, the situation that the operation personnel do not operate according to the operation standard and the goods on the shelf are placed beyond the vertical surface of the shelf often occurs. When other AGVs pass by the goods shelf or meet other AGVs during the transportation and driving of the goods shelf by the AGVs, the goods exceeding the goods shelf or the goods shelves on the other AGVs are easily scratched, so that the AGVs are separated from the normal driving track, and influence is brought to production.
Due to the influence of some external force, the deviation of the goods shelf from the original storage position is too large, or the AGV has deviation when putting down the goods shelf. When other AGV carrying goods shelves pass through the position, the AGV carrying goods shelves are easy to scratch with the AGV carrying goods shelves.
If the material of the shelf baffle is made of the easily deformable material such as the hard paperboard, the paperboard can be broken and deformed in long-term use, so that the paperboard exceeds the vertical surface of the shelf. And the AGV and the goods shelf are easy to scratch during the driving process.
When the AGV detects the obstacle, the AGV adopts a deceleration parking mode to prevent the collision with the obstacle, and the AGV cannot continue to run until the obstacle is manually processed. This can affect the efficiency of the manufacturing operation. Particularly, when the requirement on order processing timeliness is high, the order production is not timely, namely, the so-called 'hanging order' phenomenon is often caused.
Since a plurality of code points right in front of the obstacle may be locked by the current AGV but cannot continue to travel forward by itself, the locked code points cannot be unlocked in time. Thus, other AGVs driving to the position are prevented from running due to failure of the locking point; even large-area traffic jam can be often caused, and finally, the operation personnel are time-consuming and labor-consuming to process, and the cost is high.
The AGV pushes against a carrying goods shelf for a long time, so that great loss is caused in the aspect of self energy consumption, and the AGV cannot be charged in time. In some cases, it may even happen that the AGV is completely exhausted, and it is very difficult to process the AGV again.
The AGV is in a stop waiting state for a long time, so that the utilization rate of the AGV per se is reduced. Especially, when large-scale traffic jam is caused, the actual operation efficiency is greatly influenced.
To above-mentioned technical problem, through the technical scheme of this disclosure in the place of AGV activity, especially on the route that AGV normally traveles, there is any object that loses or the commodity that drops from the goods shelves, the system can discover rapidly to give the early warning in real time, remind work very first time to handle. For example, the technical solution of the present disclosure can be realized by the following embodiments.
Fig. 1 illustrates a flow diagram of some embodiments of a method of detecting an obstacle of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1, in step 110, an image to be recognized is determined according to real-time image data of a field to be detected.
In some embodiments, a standard background image may be acquired on demand in advance. For example, a standard background image may be pre-processed into a subsequently required data format.
In some embodiments, the standard background map and the real-time image may be acquired in a synchronized process. For example, the system may obtain real-time images from a video stream in real-time; and acquiring real-time pictures from the video stream at regular time (the acquisition frequency can be determined according to actual requirements).
In some embodiments, a real-time image is obtained from a surveillance video stream of a site to be detected; detecting whether a moving object exists in the real-time image; under the condition that a moving object exists, filtering the moving object in the real-time image to generate an image to be identified; and determining the real-time image as the image to be identified in the case that no moving object exists.
For example, detecting whether a moving object exists or not by using an optical flow method according to adjacent frame images of the real-time image in the monitoring video stream; in the presence of moving objects, filtering the moving objects comprises: and filtering the moving objects in the real-time image by using an optical flow method.
For example, in a complex scene with moving objects, the moving objects can be identified and filtered out by using an optical flow method.
The video stream acquired in the field may have slight jitter, which may cause a situation that the standard background image and the real-time image are not completely consistent. Jitter displacement may be added to the image by the pixel compression process to simulate this situation for testing the technical solution of the present disclosure.
In step 120, an image difference between the image to be recognized and a standard background image is calculated, where the standard background image is an image of the field to be detected without the obstacle.
In some embodiments, the image difference processing is carried out on the image to be identified and the standard background image, and a difference image is determined as an image difference; and performing edge detection processing on the difference image, and determining the area of the obstacle in the difference image according to the size of the image area enclosed by the edges.
For example, firstly, the image to be recognized and the standard background image are subjected to gray processing (for example, an RGB component averaging mode is adopted); then, after Gaussian smoothing, median filtering and the like are adopted for processing, normalization processing is carried out; finally, image difference processing is performed.
For example, the image difference processing may be subtracting pixel values of pixel points at corresponding positions of two pictures to obtain a difference image.
In some embodiments, the difference image is subjected to binarization processing; and carrying out edge detection on the binarization processing result, and determining an image area enclosed by each edge.
For example, a gray threshold may be set, and two portions of the difference image with gray values greater than and less than the gray threshold may be determined; and processing the pixel points smaller than the gray threshold value into black, and not processing the pixel points larger than the gray threshold value. The binaryzation processing can filter out the whole position deviation caused by the shake during image acquisition, thereby improving the detection accuracy. For example, the grayscale threshold may be between 85 and 120.
In step 130, whether an obstacle exists in the image to be recognized is detected according to the image difference.
In some embodiments, in the case where the size of the image area is greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, the image area is determined to be the area where the obstacle is located.
For example, the boundaries in the binarized image may be found first; the boundaries are filtered, i.e. regions that are too small or too large, which may be noise-forming, are filtered out according to the size of the region enclosed by the boundaries.
If the outline of the obstacle is not identified in the area threshold range, the obstacle is not considered to appear, and the process is ended; if a plurality of goods fall off or the goods shelf moves on site, the area enclosed by the identified boundary can be a plurality of areas, and identification can be performed on the image by using the identification frame according to the position of the identified obstacle.
In some embodiments, real-time image data of different areas are acquired by using image acquisition devices installed in different areas of a detection field, and a corresponding relation is established between each real-time image data and a corresponding image to be identified and each area; and under the condition that any image to be detected has the obstacle, determining the area where the obstacle is located according to the corresponding relation.
For example, when the image to be detected has an obstacle, the information related to the obstacle is reported to the upper control system, so that the upper control system sends out an early warning signal.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of some embodiments of the method of detecting an obstacle of the present disclosure.
As shown in FIG. 2, the camera is installed above the AGV activity field, so that image data in the AGV activity field are collected in real time, and the image data are uploaded to an intelligent image identification system comprising a detection device.
Therefore, as long as any object is left in the range visible by the camera, the intelligent picture identification system can quickly give out positioning and immediately report the area where the object is located to the upper control system. For example, the upper level control system may include an AGV console system.
The upper control system can immediately give a very obvious early warning; operators can immediately know which region has the obstacle object to drop, and the manual treatment is only needed. If the obstacle clearing robot is arranged on site, the obstacle clearing robot can be directly called to a destination point to clear obstacles.
In some embodiments, a camera device may be installed above the AGV arena, and each camera is assigned a unique number; and setting a unique number for the fixed position where each camera is installed.
In some embodiments, a camera may be turned on to record live operation pictures in real time. For example, the image collector can decompose the video data into a picture according to frames and upload the picture to the image intelligent identification system in real time; the image recognition system can adopt a target recognition method based on a single frame to locate the position of the obstacle.
When the image intelligent recognition system finds that the obstacle is left in the field, the obstacle is reported to the upper control system according to the number of the current camera and the position of the current camera. And the upper control system gives real-time early warning.
For example, a large screen may be installed at a prominent position of the field to be detected, and a picture with an obstacle captured by the camera may be displayed on the large screen in real time. The operator can timely handle the left-over object or directly schedule the obstacle clearing robot to immediately clear.
Fig. 3 shows a flow chart of further embodiments of the obstacle detection method of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 3, in step 310, a standard background image may be acquired in advance as required. For example, a standard background image may be pre-processed into a subsequently required data format. The standard background image and the real-time image can be acquired in a synchronous processing mode. For example, the system may obtain real-time images from a video stream in real-time; and acquiring real-time pictures from the video stream at regular time (the acquisition frequency can be determined according to actual requirements).
In step 320, it may be determined whether a moving object exists in the image by using an optical flow method. Under the complex scene with moving objects, the moving objects can be identified by using an optical flow method, and the images to be detected are determined after the moving objects are filtered; in the case where there is no moving object, the image may be taken as an image to be detected.
In step 330, the image to be recognized and the standard background image are subjected to a gray scale process (e.g., an RGB component averaging process). For example, RGB (red green blue) component data may be read in accordance with image information to perform gradation processing.
In step 340, a picture morphology process is performed. For example, the normalization process may be performed after the process such as gaussian smoothing or median filtering is performed.
In step 350, image difference processing is performed. The image difference processing may be subtracting pixel values of pixel points at corresponding positions of the two pictures to obtain a difference image.
In step 360, the contour of the obstacle is detected. For example, a gray threshold may be set, and two portions of the difference image with gray values greater than and less than the gray threshold may be determined; and processing the pixel points smaller than the gray threshold value into black, and not processing the pixel points larger than the gray threshold value. The binaryzation processing can filter out the whole position deviation caused by the shake during image acquisition, thereby improving the detection accuracy. For example, the grayscale threshold may be between 85 and 120.
In step 370, it is determined whether the difference is greater than a threshold. For example, if no contour of an obstacle is identified within the area threshold range, no obstacle is considered to be present, and step 310 is repeatedly performed; if there are more than one item dropped or shelf moved in the field, the identified area bounded by the boundaries can be more than one and step 380 can be performed.
In step 380, an image is identified using an identification frame based on the location of the identified obstacle.
In the embodiment, the image recognition technology is combined with an AGV operation scene, the obstacle is positioned through the image recognition technology, and an alarm is sent out, so that the obstacle can be removed by a manual or obstacle clearing robot at the first time.
Thus, the technical problem that the falling problem of the article is difficult to find can be solved; the problem that the AGV stays in a certain area for a long time due to the fault of the AGV is solved; the problem of overlarge offset of the goods shelf and the storage position is found in time; the problem that the articles on the goods shelf are not placed orderly or exceed the vertical surface of the goods shelf is found in time; the problem that the hard paperboard of the goods shelf deforms and is damaged and exceeds the vertical surface of the goods shelf is found in time.
