The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to specific examples, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a high-precision map generating method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which specifically includes:
s1: and acquiring the state information of each road section of the road to be detected through a device arranged on the road to be detected.
Specifically, the present embodiment may respectively collect the state information of a plurality of road segments of a certain road to be detected according to the actual situation. For example, a plurality of collecting devices are arranged on a road section with complex terrain or large pedestrian volume for intensive collection, and a road section with flat road and simple surrounding environment is simply collected. In addition, the acquisition period can be set according to needs, for example, intensive acquisition is carried out in the peak period of driving.
According to the generation method of the high-precision map, the device for acquiring the road section state information can be randomly arranged on the required road section according to actual needs, so that a survey blind area is greatly avoided or even eliminated, and the accuracy of generating the map is further improved.
Further, in order to increase samples to reflect real road state information as much as possible, sampling from different dimensions may be performed, for example, image information acquisition may be performed using a camera, three-dimensional point cloud data acquisition may be performed using a radar system, or information acquisition such as temperature and humidity may be performed using other sensors.
In the present embodiment, the state information of the link includes road sign information, traffic state information, abnormal road surface information, climate information, and road traffic abnormal event information. Wherein the road sign information at least includes: traffic sign information, traffic light information, lane line data information; the traffic state information includes: information of smooth, light congestion, moderate congestion and severe congestion; the abnormal road surface information includes at least: icing, collapse and pollution of road surface; the road traffic abnormal event information includes: whether there are group events, whether there are dangerous animals, whether there are sprinkles, whether there are temporary traffic control, whether there are road maintenance construction or other dangerous situations that influence normal road traffic appear, group events include: gathering, touring, demonstrating, terrorist violent activities and the like, and generating original data information of two dimensions of radar data and video data, wherein the original data information comprises road sign information, traffic state information, abnormal road surface information, climate information and road traffic abnormal event information of a current road section.
S2: and performing fusion processing on the state information of each road section to obtain a plurality of local high-precision map data.
After the state information of a plurality of different road sections is obtained in step 1, the state information of each road section needs to be fused in real time to obtain high-precision map data of the current road section, which is also called local high-precision map data.
Further, in the embodiment, data obtained from different dimensions are fused by an intelligent algorithm to generate initial high-precision map data including road sign information, traffic state information, abnormal road surface information, climate information and road traffic abnormal event information of the current road section.
Step S2 will be described in detail below by taking data collected by the fusion radar system and the camera system as an example.
Firstly, a radar system and a camera system respectively collect data aiming at an observation road section, then feature extraction and pattern recognition processing are carried out on output data of each sensor, targets are accurately related according to categories, and finally data of all sensors of the same target are integrated by utilizing a fusion algorithm.
Specifically, an image fusion strategy is adopted, namely vision is taken as a main body, image feature transformation is carried out on the overall information output by the radar system, and then fusion is carried out on the overall information and the image output of the camera system. And more particularly to spatial fusion and temporal fusion. Establishing a coordinate conversion relation among a radar coordinate system, a three-dimensional world coordinate system, a camera coordinate system, an image coordinate system and a pixel coordinate system, and converting a measuring point in the radar coordinate system into a pixel coordinate system corresponding to the camera through the coordinate system to realize the spatial fusion of the measuring point and the pixel coordinate system; the millimeter wave radar and the vision fusion system can synchronously acquire data in time, can realize time fusion, and can finish the common sampling of data of one frame of radar and vision fusion when the camera acquires one frame of image by taking the sampling rate of the camera as a reference so as to ensure the time synchronization of the radar data and the camera data.
S3: and splicing the local high-precision map data to obtain global high-precision map data.
Specifically, the obtained local high-precision map data are integrated and analyzed to obtain global high-precision map data reflecting complete road information at the current moment.
More specifically, feature points of overlapped parts of a plurality of local high-precision maps are extracted and matched by using an SIFT feature point matching algorithm to obtain a plurality of matched point pairs, and error matching is removed. The RANSAC algorithm and the matched features are then used to fit an image transformation matrix by which the image is affine transformed. And finally, splicing the images, and fusing the overlapped parts to obtain the global high-precision map.
According to the generation method of the high-precision map, the road state information data are collected in real time through the device arranged on the road to be detected, the collected data are fused, and finally the high-precision map data are formed.
Further, after step S3, the method further includes:
s4: and updating the pre-stored original global high-precision map according to the global high-precision map data.
Because the environment of the road to be measured changes at any time, the state information of each road section needs to be regularly acquired, the global high-precision map is updated according to the state information, and the specific updating period can be determined by the data acquisition period
Specifically, step S4 includes:
s41: and comparing and analyzing the global high-precision map data at the current moment with the pre-stored original global high-precision map to find out the difference between the global high-precision map data and the original global high-precision map.
S42: and (4) performing superposition correction on the different points on the original global high-precision map so as to update the original global high-precision map.
The method comprises the steps of extracting position information of a plurality of target elements from a global high-precision map at the current moment and a pre-stored original global high-precision map respectively, carrying out differential comparison on the position information of the target elements and the position information of the target elements to obtain a deviation corresponding to the position of each target element, determining the position of the target element to be updated according to the position deviation value if the position deviation value is larger than a preset proportional threshold, and updating the original global high-precision map data based on new position information.
When updating the global high-accuracy map, it is necessary to mark danger information on the obtained global high-accuracy map.
For example, in the process of performing comparison and update, the marking unit performs image recognition and analysis on a plurality of target elements to be updated, finds that a dangerous event which seriously affects the subsequent vehicle traffic, such as road collapse or sudden car accident, occurs, generates a dangerous early warning, and performs dangerous marking on a map.
Thus, the latest global high-precision map is obtained. The latest high-precision map with the danger marks is uploaded to a cloud platform and then forwarded to each automatic driving automobile by the cloud platform for calling, so that the problems of traffic accidents or inconvenient travelling caused by untimely updating of high-precision map data and inaccurate data information are effectively avoided, and the driving safety of automatic driving is improved; in addition, the cost expense of using a special high-precision map measuring vehicle and manually secondarily processing the generated high-precision map is reduced or avoided.
In another embodiment of the invention, the danger information can be directly marked on the global high-precision map obtained after each splicing processing and uploaded to the cloud platform, and then the danger information is forwarded to each automatic driving automobile by the cloud platform for calling.
In addition, the latest high-precision map obtained after updating can be stored in the system database to replace the original high-precision map, the system can continuously update and perfect itself, and the change of the current road section can be adjusted in time, so that the generated brand-new high-precision map has more accurate data and higher precision, and is more suitable for being used by automatic driving vehicles.
