Description

Obstacle identification method and system for automatic driving
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent traffic, in particular to an obstacle identification method and system for automatic driving.
Background
With the continuous increase of the intelligent degree of automobiles, a large number of automobile models with automatic driving auxiliary functions mainly used for urban expressways and expressways appear in the market. Autopilot is becoming a major trend in the development of the automotive industry. However, mass production cost is considered, the vehicle sensor is relatively cheap, the detection effect is poor, obstacles cannot be detected under various conditions, and potential safety hazards are formed. In the scenes of urban expressways and expressways, it is the most common scene that an automatic driving vehicle enters a secondary road from a main road and enters the main road from the secondary road or runs through a turn road junction on the main road, but the problem that the running condition of the vehicle about to enter the road cannot be detected due to the influence of obstacles such as roadside greening or guardrails is one of the potential safety hazards to be solved urgently. The vehicle with the automatic driving assistance function is limited by the sensing capability of the sensor, most of the vehicles with the automatic driving assistance function in mass production at present adopt a strategy that the vehicles can bypass and leave a lane space to bypass when meeting the conditions that the main road is converged into the auxiliary road, the auxiliary road is converged into the main road and the side lanes are seriously shielded when the vehicles run on the main road and pass through the ramp, and the vehicles cannot bypass and prompt a driver to take over.
However, the strategy also has the disadvantages that the number of urban vehicles is increased, road extension cannot catch up with the increased speed of the vehicles, the traffic flow on urban expressways is larger, the number of ramp openings is more, no lane can avoid in advance in driving, and frequent take-over is caused to influence the driving experience. Too frequent takeover applications can also cause the driver to ignore the takeover request, creating a significant safety hazard. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem of road vehicles gathering into the road caused by road greening or guardrail obstacles.
And in recent years, 4D millimeter wave radars introduced by some manufacturers have made it possible to solve the above problems. Compared with the traditional millimeter wave radar on mass-produced vehicles at the present stage, the 4D millimeter wave radar has a qualitative leap in the detection capability of the obstacle under the condition of low cost improvement. The traditional millimeter wave radar has a small obstacle detection range, and the output result is only on an XY plane without high-speed discrimination. This makes it difficult to select the vehicles actually traveling on the road from the plurality of obstacle points.
