Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent vehicle networking, in particular to a method, equipment and medium for detecting a target by fusing a road side camera and 4D millimeter waves.
Background
Currently, automatic driving and roadside sensing are dominated by lidar-based 3D detection algorithms. According to the characteristics of the laser radar, the common target detection methods can be divided into four types, namely BEV-based, camera view-based, point-wise feature-based and fusion feature-based. The laser radar has the characteristic of no influence of illumination, and in addition, the technology can directly obtain accurate three-dimensional information.
However, the laser radar has the following disadvantages:
(1) the laser radar has high cost, and the large-scale application of the market is hindered to a certain extent.
(2) Lidar is susceptible to weather. Laser light generally attenuates less in a clear weather and has a longer propagation distance. In bad weather such as heavy rain, heavy smoke, heavy fog and the like, attenuation is increased rapidly, propagation distance is affected greatly, and laser beams are distorted and shaken by atmospheric circulation, so that the measurement accuracy of the laser radar is directly affected. Therefore, the original data of the laser radar can be interfered in rainy days, foggy days, snowy days, large dust emission and other conditions, and meanwhile, the detection algorithm is influenced, so that the target object cannot be accurately positioned.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new detection method.

6. the sensing distance is far: the effective distance of the 4D millimeter wave data is 300 meters, 250 meters of effective sensing can be provided by matching with a camera, and the laser is only 150 meters;
7. the target positioning is accurate: the original data quantity of the 4D millimeter waves is far larger than that of the traditional millimeter waves (about 11 times), the ranging precision is slightly inferior to that of a laser radar, and the engineering requirements are completely met; due to the adoption of the depth completion technology, the camera can be equivalently used as a laser radar (720p image is equivalently used as 720 line laser), and the denser the camera, the more obvious the positioning advantage is;
8. hardware cost reduction: the millimeter wave radar has low cost and is much lower than laser.
