Description

Multi-target detection method for vehicle-mounted millimeter wave radar
Technical Field
The invention relates to a multi-target detection technology of a millimeter wave radar, belonging to radar signal processing and target detection technologies.
Background
The multi-target detection has extremely high application value in the fields of traffic control, security monitoring, intelligent driving and the like. In practical application, multi-target detection must have the ability of flexible target detection and rapid and accurate target information extraction. Therefore, the multi-target detection algorithm cannot be too complex, the complexity of calculation time is reduced as much as possible, and the actually existing targets and motion parameters can be detected in a self-adaptive manner on the premise that the number of the targets is unknown.
The millimeter wave radar has the advantages of small size, light weight, high detection precision, stable performance in severe weather, easiness in maintenance and the like, can provide stable and effective target detection and assists a vehicle in avoiding an obstacle target. However, the traditional multi-target detection method based on the millimeter wave radar has the problems of target missing detection, incapability of further extracting and matching azimuth information of the target and the like, and is difficult to flexibly and accurately sense the target in a complex sensing environment.
Due to the limitations of the radar system and the complexity of the environment, the peak value corresponding to each target is not a single peak value but a set of peak values, and when the azimuth angles of the targets are too close, the targets are overlapped, and target missing detection is generated. The DBSCAN clustering algorithm provides a density-based clustering algorithm, and the type of the sample is determined according to the compactness of the sample distribution, so that the peak value sets of two targets are adaptively distinguished, and the problem of target omission caused by target overlapping is reduced.
The existing scheme 1 (with the publication number of CN109975807) provides a dimension reduction subspace angle measurement method based on a millimeter wave vehicle-mounted radar. The existing scheme 1 adopts a beam domain MUSIC algorithm and a new MUSIC estimator to perform azimuth angle measurement on a target.
The main technical solutions of prior art scheme 1 are briefly described as follows:
(1) and establishing a space spectrum estimation mathematical model of the millimeter wave vehicle-mounted radar system to obtain expressions of the transmitting signal and the receiving signal.
(2) And (2) establishing a three-dimensional data structure for expanding the intermediate frequency signal after mixing the received signal under the condition of multi-receiving on the basis of (1).
(3) FFT is respectively carried out on the three-dimensional received signal data in a fast time dimension and a slow time dimension to obtain target speed distance information and a received signal data vector Y of an antenna array on a corresponding distance Doppler unit.
(4) And calculating an optimized wave beam by using the information of the azimuth angle range of the vehicle to be detected by the vehicle-mounted radar, and converting the received signal data vector Y from the array element domain to the wave beam domain.
(5) And calculating a sample covariance matrix by using the beam domain received signal matrix.
(6) And (3) decomposing the eigenvalue of the sample covariance matrix to obtain a noise subspace, and establishing an MUSIC spatial spectrum function based on the noise subspace to search a spectrum peak to obtain an azimuth angle estimated value.
The existing scheme 1 mainly aims to provide a new MUSIC estimator, so that the signal subspace expression is more refined, and the excellent angle measurement performance is maintained under the conditions of low calculation complexity and memory occupation. But only the angle estimation optimization of multiple targets is completed, and the target angle and the speed distance parameter can not be matched for the multiple targets.
In the prior scheme 2, under the condition of single snapshot number, the prior information is utilized to optimize the beam forming matrix, the mathematical expression of the covariance matrix of the received signal estimation sample is modified, the estimation precision of the covariance matrix of the sample is improved,
the prior art 2 (publication number CN111856420A) proposes a doppler radar multi-target detection method. In the conventional scheme 2, multiple targets are detected by combining two-dimensional FFT, amplitude accumulation and center peak traversal.
The main technical solutions of prior art scheme 2 are briefly described as follows:
(1) and acquiring echo signal data A of the moving target.
(2) Windowing and distance dimension FFT (fast Fourier transform) are carried out on the data A to obtain a frequency domain data matrix B;
(3) performing speed dimension FFT on the data B and performing modulus taking to obtain a Doppler spectrum C;
(4) accumulating the Doppler spectrum C data in the same distance direction to obtain a sequence D;
(5) and setting a threshold value, and performing iterative traversal D according to a preset peak value center range to find a plurality of targets.
In the existing scheme 2, a plurality of targets are searched in an iterative traversal manner based on the same distance accumulation, so that the calculation amount of target detection is reduced.
The existing scheme 2 mainly aims at solving the problems of high computation complexity and high false alarm probability of Doppler radar multi-target detection. The threshold setting for detecting multiple targets has no flexibility, and flexible multiple target detection cannot be provided, so that the problem of target omission under certain conditions is caused. And further azimuth measurements of multiple targets cannot be made.

1) according to the characteristics of the actually measured data, the two-dimensional FFT result is subjected to averaging processing, and clutter is effectively removed.
2) By adopting the DBSCAN clustering algorithm, the number of targets does not need to be preset, the current data detection target number is obtained in a self-adaptive manner, and the point with the maximum data value in each target cluster is used as the target point of the target cluster, so that the target positioning precision is improved.
3) And carrying out azimuth angle measurement by using MUSIC estimation operators which are in one-to-one correspondence with the target points obtained by clustering, so that the angle output by the MUSIC can be matched with the target points. The method is favorable for providing accurate and perfect target parameters for a subsequent fusion processing algorithm.
Under the condition of insufficient element number of a millimeter wave radar receiving array, the method can realize self-adaptive multi-target identification and multi-target azimuth angle measurement and matching, solves the problem of target angle overlapping of the conventional multi-target detection, has good generalization capability and is convenient for engineering realization.

The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the a/D sampling data of the multi-element millimeter wave radar is obtained by mixing a local oscillation signal of a saw-tooth wave fm continuous wave radar with an original echo signal received by a receiving antenna to obtain a beat signal within M pulse repetition periods.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the GO-CFAR detection is specifically: outputting two-dimensional matrix data as data of the detected cell to one input terminal of the comparator;
the distance dimension FFT data and the speed dimension FFT data which are used as sample data are respectively subjected to averaging processing and then output to a large selection unit, the large selection unit selects a group of data with larger average value from 2 groups of input data to calculate noise power, and the noise power is multiplied by a threshold scale factor of a detector to obtain a detection threshold estimation value which is output to the other input end of the comparator;
the comparator compares the data of the detected unit with the detection threshold estimation value, if the data of the detected unit is larger than or equal to the detection threshold estimation value, the situation that the target exists is shown, otherwise, the situation that the target does not exist is shown, and finally, the two-dimensional matrix data with the target exists is output.
