Description

Diagnosis method for laser radar, laser radar and computer storage medium
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of laser radars, and in particular, to a diagnosis method for a laser radar, and a computer storage medium.
Background
The laser radar is a radar system that detects a characteristic amount such as a position and a velocity of a target by emitting a laser beam. Laser radar is widely applied to the fields of automatic driving, unmanned aerial vehicles, intelligent robots and the like due to the advantages of high resolution, good concealment, strong active interference resistance, good detection performance, small size, light weight and the like.
In the use process of the laser radar, the light emitting energy is reduced due to the aging of a light emitting device or the failure of hardware, and the receiving efficiency is reduced due to the aging of a light receiving device or the failure of hardware, so that the maximum remote measurement capability and the target reflectivity capability of the laser radar are reduced. The hardware failure, for example, due to external vibration, failure of fixing glue, etc., causes the optical device to be cracked or dislocated, or the laser and the detector to be damaged, etc., so that the function of the laser radar is degraded or lost, and the detection performance of the laser radar is affected.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram comparing an original state and a performance attenuation state of a light emitting device of a laser radar, the laser radar includes the light emitting device, the light emitting device emits a detection pulse under the control of a trigger signal (control signal), original luminous energy Q in the original state is shown in an upper graph of fig. 1, under the same control amount of the trigger signal and the same environmental condition, the performance attenuation of the light emitting device can make the luminous energy Q generate attenuation, as shown in a lower graph of fig. 1, thereby the luminous energy of the light emitting device is reduced.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing comparison of echo waveforms of a light receiving device of a laser radar in different performance attenuation states, wherein the laser radar comprises a light emitting device and a light receiving device, the light emitting device emits a detection pulse under the control of a trigger signal, and the light receiving device receives an echo of the detection pulse on a target. Under the trigger signal with the same control quantity and the same environmental condition, the light emitting device emits a probe pulse, and the light receiving device receives the echo of the target with the same distance and reflectivity of the probe pulse, wherein the amplitude of the echo signal received by the light receiving device in the original state is V0, and as the performance of the light receiving device gradually attenuates in the use process (assuming that the performance of the light emitting device does not attenuate), the amplitude of the echo signal after the performance attenuation is reduced to V1, and the amplitude of the echo signal V1 is greater than a threshold value, and the target can be identified, but when the performance of the light receiving device continues to attenuate or fails, the amplitude of the echo signal is reduced to V2, and the amplitude of the echo signal V2 is less than the threshold value, so that the laser radar cannot identify the target, that is, and cannot acquire the distance and reflectivity information of the target.
Therefore, the performance attenuation or failure of the light emitting device and the light receiving device in the laser radar can cause the reduction of the light emitting energy or the reduction of the receiving energy, and further, the laser radar can not detect the target or can detect the target but has larger error of the measured distance or reflectivity information.
The statements in this background section merely disclose technology known to the inventors and do not, of course, represent prior art in the art.

To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples, such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize applications of other processes and/or uses of other materials.
The invention provides a diagnosis method for a laser radar, which comprises the steps of transmitting a detection pulse and receiving a stray light echo generated by the detection pulse, and acquiring a current performance value according to the stray light echo; and diagnosing whether the laser radar is abnormal or not according to the current performance value and the reference performance value. The invention diagnoses the transmitting performance and/or receiving performance of the laser radar by using the detection pulse generated by the light transmitting device in the laser radar and the stray light echo generated by the light receiving device based on the detection pulse, and can effectively identify whether the performance of the laser radar is abnormal or not so as to solve the problem that the detection capability of the laser radar is reduced due to the performance attenuation or failure of the light transmitting device and the light receiving device.
The method is applicable to an optical system adopting coaxial transceiving, and fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a laser radar adopting the coaxial transceiving system, wherein the laser radar comprises a light emitting device and a light receiving device, a detection light beam L emitted by the light emitting device passes through a collimating component and a light splitting component, the detection light beam L is finally reflected to the outside of the laser radar by a scanning component, and an echo L' reflected by a target is received by the light receiving device after passing through the scanning component, the light splitting component and a converging component. By emitting the detection light beam and receiving the echo light beam reflected by the object, the laser radar can detect the target distance and the reflectivity in the environment, but the performance can be attenuated along with the change of the service life of the light emitting device and the light receiving device, and for the emission performance and the receiving performance of the laser radar, the emission power of the light emitting device and the echo receiving efficiency of the light receiving device are reduced, so that the maximum distance measuring capability and the reflectivity measuring capability of the radar system are reduced.
Stray light generated by the probe light beam L emitted by the light emitting device in the radar system is also received by the light receiving device, so that a stray light echo is formed. Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of another lidar employing a coaxial transceiver system, in which a probe beam L emitted from a light emitting device is emitted through a beam splitter and a scanning unit (not shown), and an echo L' is received by a light receiving device after passing through the scanning unit and the beam splitter. An ideal beam splitting mirror would cause the detection pulse L to be incident on the scanning component without changing direction. In practice, however, a small portion of the probing pulse L is reflected by the edge of the beam splitting mirror or the edge of another lens assembly (not shown) and then received by the light receiving device, thereby forming a stray light echo. Therefore, the stray light echo and the echo L 'can be received by the light receiving device, and after the performance of the light emitting device and/or the light receiving device is attenuated, the waveform of the echo L' corresponding to the detection light beam L and the waveform of stray light inside the laser radar have the same change trend, so that the detection pulse generated by the light emitting device in the laser radar and the stray light echo generated by the light receiving device based on the detection pulse are utilized to diagnose the emission performance and/or the receiving performance of the laser radar, no light emitting or light receiving device is required to be additionally arranged, the structure is simple, and the problem that the performance boundary (for example, the maximum detection distance is 200 meters when the reflectivity is 10%) of the laser radar is unexpectedly changed can be effectively identified.
Wherein the unexpected variations include, but are not limited to, the following: for an object with specified reflectivity and specified distance, the laser radar cannot detect the object; or an object is detected, but the reflectivity is lower than expected; or an object is detected, but the reflectivity is higher than expected. Factors that contribute to the unintended variation include: performance degradation of the light emitting device or the light receiving device, such as degradation (attenuation) of a laser to cause reduction in light emission energy or degradation (attenuation) of a detector to cause reduction in echo receiving efficiency, or detection results lower or higher than expected due to hardware failure in the light emitting device or the light receiving device.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it will be understood that they are described herein for the purpose of illustration and explanation and not limitation.
Fig. 5 shows a flowchart of a diagnosis method for lidar according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the diagnosis method 10 includes steps S11-S14, as follows:
a probe pulse is transmitted at step S11.
Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram of a laser radar according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the laser radar 20 includes a light emitting device 21 and a light receiving device 22, and the light emitting device 21 emits a detection pulse to the outside of the laser radar 20 after passing through other components, such as a lens assembly, etc.
The stray light echo generated by the probe pulse is received in step S12.
With continued reference to fig. 6, the light emitting device 21 of the laser radar 20 emits a probe pulse, and a probe echo pulse reflected by the target is received by the light receiving device 22. At the same time, stray light generated by the probe pulse in the radar system is also received by the light receiving device 22 of the laser radar 20, and a stray light echo is formed. Wherein, a small part of the detection pulse is reflected by the edge of the optical element and then received by the light receiving device 22 to form stray light; another small portion of the probe pulse is reflected by the mask of the laser radar 20 and received by the light receiving device 22, forming a stray light echo. There are other stray light caused by various reasons, which are not described herein. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the term stray light echo as used herein includes echoes due to reflection, and also includes stray light due to optical crosstalk, etc., and does not limit the technical solution or technical problem solved by the present invention.
The energy of the stray light echo is usually high, so that the stray light echo cannot be distinguished from a detection echo pulse, and a short-distance detection blind area is generated by a laser radar system. When the target is located outside the short-range blind zone of the laser radar 20, as shown in fig. 7, the light receiving device 22 may also receive a probe echo pulse formed by reflecting the probe pulse by the target after receiving the stray light echo. Because the formation time of the stray light echo is determined when the internal structure of the radar system is determined, the stray light echo can be screened out from a plurality of detection echo pulses by receiving the plurality of detection echo pulses generated by the detection pulse.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the stray light echo is an echo pulse within a time window. Fig. 8 shows a time window diagram of the stray light echo with respect to the trigger signal of the light emitting means. The stray light echo is generated immediately after the emission timing of the light emitting device 21, that is, after the trigger signal of the light emitting device 21 is generated, the light emitting device 21 emits a probe pulse, and a part of the probe pulse is normally emitted to the outside of the laser radar 20, and another part of the probe pulse forms a stray light echo in the time window Δ t after the trigger signal is generated, and is finally received by the light receiving device 22.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, said time window Δ t comprises a fixed time window, which is related to the size and structure of the lidar 20, and a dynamic time window, which is dynamically adjusted based on the time of reception of the stray light echo. The length of the fixed time window in which the stray light echo is located is determined according to the system characteristics of the laser radar 20, and the fixed time windows in which the stray light echoes of different radar systems are located are different. Generally, the fixed time window Δ t of the stray light echo is determined by the geometric size and the internal structure of the laser radar 20, specifically including the optical path length between the light emitting device 21 and the light receiving device 22 in the laser radar 20, the configuration and the position of the optical device, and the like, and can be known through early measurement.
In fact, a stray light echo formed by a detection pulse in a laser radar system may have a pulse duration longer than a fixed time window Δ t, and therefore, a certain redundancy, that is, a dynamic time window may be set according to the receiving time of the stray light echo. For example, a dynamic time window can be set and adjusted according to the time of the threshold crossing and the peak time of the stray light pulse to obtain a complete stray light echo waveform, which is beneficial to analyzing waveform information subsequently.
For example, in a dirty state of the radar mask, the position of the stray light echo may exceed the range of the fixed time window Δ t. According to the system characteristics, the fixed time window of the stray light echo of the laser radar is determined to be within 10ns after the emission time, and then a dynamic time window of 20-25ns can be set, namely, the light receiving device 22 can receive the echo pulse within 30-35ns after the emission time of the detection pulse and can be used as the stray light echo.
In step S13, a current performance value is acquired from the stray light echo.
With continued reference to fig. 6, the light emitting device 21 emits a probe pulse, and the light receiving device 22 receives a probe echo pulse. When the light emitting device 21 and/or the light receiving device 22 age (attenuate), the waveform of the detection echo pulse changes accordingly, and at the same time, the waveform of the stray light echo changes accordingly, and the change trends of the two are the same. By using the change in the stray light waveform, the laser radar 20 can be diagnosed. Therefore, in this step, the current performance value of the laser radar 20, i.e. the characteristic parameters of the stray light echo, such as the signal amplitude, is obtained first.
According to a preferred implementation of the present invention, in the diagnosis method 10, the step S13 further includes: and when the current performance value is within the preset range, repeating the steps S11-S12 until a plurality of sampling results are obtained. And judging the reasonability of the current performance value to avoid the influence of other factors (such as temperature and other laser light emitting interference). For example, the light emitting device 21 emits a detection pulse specifying the light emission intensity, and determines whether the characteristic parameter of the stray light echo is within a preset range. If so, emitting a detection pulse, receiving a stray light echo generated by the detection pulse, repeating for multiple times, and obtaining multiple sampling results.
According to a preferred implementation of the present invention, in the diagnosis method 10, the step S13 further includes: and acquiring the current performance value based on the average value or the weighted average value of the multiple sampling results. By averaging over multiple measurements, the accuracy of the current performance value can be improved. If the current performance value comprises a plurality of characteristic parameters of the stray light echo, weighted values can be respectively set for the characteristic parameters, and the accuracy of the current performance value can also be improved by obtaining a weighted average value through multiple measurements. For example, when a plurality of feature parameters are used in combination, a method of setting a confidence ratio may be employed, for example: the confidence of the characteristic parameter a is set to 50%, the confidence of the characteristic parameter B is set to 30%, and the confidence of the characteristic parameter C is set to 20%, thereby calculating the current performance value.
In step S14, it is diagnosed whether the laser radar is abnormal or not according to the current performance value and the reference performance value.
Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram showing the waveform change of the stray light echo relative to the trigger signal at the transmitting end, and in conjunction with fig. 6, the light-emitting device 21 transmits a detection pulse after the trigger signal, and the light-receiving device 22 receives the stray light echo within the time window t2-t 1. Before the light emitting device 21 and/or the light receiving device attenuates, the stray light waveform is V0; after attenuation by the light emitting device 21 and/or the light receiving device 22, the stray light waveform is V1. Under the same control quantity of transmitting end trigger signals and the same environmental conditions, the characteristics that the waveform of the stray light changes along with the gradual aging of the light emitting device 21 and/or the light receiving device 22 in the using process are utilized to diagnose whether the laser radar 20 is abnormal or not. That is, the laser radar 20 is diagnosed based on the current performance value and the reference performance value of the stray light echo.
According to a preferred implementation of the invention, the diagnostic method 10 further comprises: under the same specific condition, the current performance value and the reference performance value are respectively obtained, wherein the specific condition comprises one or more of the ambient temperature, the detection field of view and the luminous intensity control quantity. For example, before the laser radar 20 goes offline, the characteristic parameters of the stray light echo received by the light receiving device 22 are used as the reference performance values of the laser radar 20 under the conditions of specifying the temperature interval, the detection field of view and the light intensity control amount (for example, the driving voltage of the laser) determined by calibration. In practical applications, the characteristic parameter of the stray light echo received by the light receiving device 22 is used as the current performance value under the same specific conditions, i.e., under the conditions of a specified temperature interval, a detection field of view and a control amount of the luminous intensity. Thus, the current measurement of the performance value and the reference value have a precondition for comparison. One or more specific conditions may be set as needed, in which the ambient temperature is acquired by a temperature sensor, the detection field of view is obtained by internal configuration information of the laser radar 20, the light emission intensity control amount is acquired by the detection channel light emission state, or the laser is triggered to emit light with a specified light emission intensity within a specified time window when the diagnostic method 10 is performed.
According to a preferred implementation of the invention, the current and/or reference performance values comprise one or more of a peak intensity, a pulse width, and a waveform integral value of the stray light echo. Referring to fig. 9, characteristic parameters of the stray light echo include a peak intensity H1, a pulse width W1, and a waveform integrated value E1. The waveform integrated value is an integrated value of a digital quantity of a stray light echo inside the radar measured by the analog-to-digital converter, namely, a waveform area of the stray light echo. With continued reference to fig. 9, the waveform of the stray light before attenuation by the light emitting device 21 and/or the light receiving device 22 is V0, and its characteristic parameters are used as reference performance values; the stray light waveform attenuated by the light emitting device 21 and/or the light receiving device 22 is V1, and its characteristic parameter is taken as the current performance value. Thus, the current measurement value and the reference value of the performance value have the same comparison parameter, and for example, the transmission/reception performance or the transmission/reception efficiency of the laser radar 20 is diagnosed, so that it is possible to determine whether or not the laser radar 20 is abnormal.
The invention provides a diagnosis method for a laser radar 20, which is suitable for a coaxial optical transceiver system, and diagnoses the transmitting performance and/or receiving performance of the laser radar 20 by using a detection pulse generated by a light-emitting device 21 in the laser radar 20 and a stray light echo generated by a light-receiving device 22 based on the detection pulse, so that whether the performance of the laser radar 20 is abnormal or not can be effectively identified, and the problem that the detection capability of the laser radar 20 is reduced due to the performance attenuation or failure of the light-emitting device 21 and the light-receiving device 22 is solved.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the diagnosis method 10, the step S14 further includes: diagnosing whether the laser radar 20 is abnormal based on a deviation between the current performance value and a reference performance value.

Before the laser radar 20 comes off-line, the performance value of the laser radar measured under the condition of specifying the ambient temperature section, the detection field of view, and the control amount of the light intensity of the light emitting device 21 is used as a reference performance value. For example, the waveform integral value of the stray light echo of each detection channel received by the light receiving device 22 is used as a reference performance value before the laser radar 20 is aged;

At step S5: judging whether the average value or the weighted average value of the current performance values sampled for multiple times is out of an error allowable range;
the current performance values sampled a plurality of times are averaged or weighted to improve the accuracy of the numerical determination, and then it is determined whether the average or weighted average of the current performance values is less than the difference between the reference performance value and the deviation amount (i.e., outside the error tolerance). For example, the waveform integrated value of the stray light echo is used as the current performance value, whether the waveform integrated value of the stray light echo is smaller than the difference between the waveform integrated value and the deviation amount in the reference performance value is judged, if yes, step S6 is executed, otherwise, step S8 is executed.

The abnormal times are the times of the difference between the reference performance value and the deviation amount appearing in the multiple times of sampling, or the number of the detection channels of the difference between the reference performance value and the deviation amount. The threshold value of which can be adjusted.
At step S8: and judging that no abnormity exists, and reporting no fault.
