Thus, the present invention is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.
In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be described below with reference to specific scenario embodiments.
Scene embodiment one
The invention mainly aims at the problem of automatic driving based on an image processing system, designs a better vehicle state calculating and evaluating method, and can more accurately acquire the state information of surrounding vehicles under the conditions of higher vehicle running speed, denser vehicles, severe weather and the like, thereby further ensuring the safety of automatic driving. The method solves the defect of inaccurate acquisition of the surrounding vehicle state information in the prior art, and can use different system modules at different vehicle distances to improve the accuracy of the acquired surrounding vehicle state information, so that an automatic driving vehicle can perform better response actions, and a safer driving target can be achieved.
The application environment for implementing the invention mainly depends on a V2X communication system and an image processing system. The autopilot vehicle needs to have both a V2X communication system and an image processing system, while other non-autopilot vehicles need only have a V2X communication system. Meanwhile, the image processing system can access the Internet to send the picture data to cloud processing so as to obtain a faster processing speed.
Fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of an autopilot system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 8, the autopilot system 80 includes an image processing unit 810, a V2X communication unit 820, and a decision unit 830.
When outside the V2X communication distance, the automated driving vehicle passes through the installed camera, and the image processing unit 810 is used to acquire driving state information of surrounding vehicles, such as relative positions, vehicle contours, etc., wherein specific technologies such as target detection, key point detection, etc., are involved. Then, the driving state information of the surrounding vehicles acquired by the image processing unit 810 is sent to the decision unit 830, and the decision unit 830 calculates the acceleration, direction and other data of the following automatic driving vehicles, so as to make corresponding reaction actions, such as deceleration, overtaking and the like;
while within the V2X communication distance, the autonomous vehicle still passes through the installed camera, and the image processing unit 810 is used to acquire driving state information of the surrounding vehicles, such as the relative position, the vehicle size, and the like. Meanwhile, through the V2X communication unit 820, the autonomous vehicle may communicate with surrounding vehicles, directly acquire data such as its traveling speed, vehicle identification, and the like. The data of the image processing unit 810 and the data of the V2X communication unit 820 are then sent to the decision unit 830, and the decision unit 830 calculates the data of acceleration, direction, etc. of the following automatic driving vehicle, so as to make corresponding reaction actions, such as deceleration, overtaking, etc. By the V2X communication unit 820, information such as the speed of the surrounding vehicle can be directly acquired, and a speed error calculated by only the image processing unit data is avoided. Meanwhile, the vehicle identifier (i.e., indicating that the object is a vehicle) can be directly acquired through the V2X communication unit 820, so that the problem caused by missed detection of the image processing unit 810 is avoided. That is, when the data of the image processing unit 810 intersects or collides with the data of the V2X communication unit 820, the data of the V2X communication unit 820 is subject.
Scene embodiment two
When the automatic driving vehicle runs in foggy days and the vehicles on the road are more, the image data collected by the camera are more fuzzy and the vehicles in the image are dense, so that the problems of missing detection, detection errors and the like are easy to occur in the image processing unit, and the problems can be effectively avoided by using the V2X communication unit.
When outside the V2X communication distance, fig. 9 is a flowchart of an automatic driving method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 9, the flowchart includes the steps of:
in step S902, the image processing unit acquires driving state data of the nearby vehicle:
acquiring driving state data of surrounding vehicles, such as vehicle contours, directions (including distances and angles) and the like, by using an image processing unit through the installed camera, wherein specific technologies such as target detection, key point detection and the like are involved;
step S904, the driving status data is sent to the decision unit, and the automatic driving vehicle makes a corresponding reaction action:
the data acquired in step S902 is sent to a decision unit, and the speed, direction and other running information of the surrounding vehicles are calculated by using the data such as distance, time and the like, so that the automatic driving vehicle can make corresponding reaction actions such as deceleration, overtaking and the like.
FIG. 10 is a flow chart of an autopilot method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention when within V2X communication range, as shown in FIG. 10, the flow comprising the steps of:
in step S1002, the image processing unit acquires driving state data of the surrounding vehicle:
acquiring driving state data of surrounding vehicles, such as vehicle contours, directions (including distances and angles) and the like, by using an image processing unit through the installed camera, wherein specific technologies such as target detection, key point detection and the like are involved;
in step S1004, the V2X communication unit acquires the driving state information of the nearby vehicle:
acquiring data such as vehicle identifications, longitude and latitude, vehicle speed and the like of surrounding vehicles by utilizing a V2X communication unit;
step S1006, determining whether the data is from the same surrounding vehicle according to the driving status data and the driving status information:
the data acquired in step S1002 and step S1004 are sent to a decision unit, and the azimuth and longitude and latitude data can be used to match whether the two types of data acquired by the camera and the V2X communication unit are of the same vehicle. Discarding the data if the data is not matched with the same vehicle; if the vehicle is matched with the same vehicle, continuing to execute the following steps;
step S1008, the autonomous vehicle makes a corresponding reaction according to the driving state data and the driving state information:
the surrounding vehicle data (such as vehicle identification, speed and the like) which can be directly acquired by the V2X communication unit and the surrounding vehicle data (such as outline size and the like) which can be only acquired by the image processing unit are utilized to enable the automatic driving vehicle to make corresponding reaction actions such as speed reduction, overtaking and the like.
In the prior art, an automatic driving mode which is only calculated and evaluated by an image processing system exists, and the mode generally has serious potential safety hazards under the conditions of denser vehicles, severe weather and the like, such as missed detection of vehicles, larger errors in position and speed calculation and the like. The method of the invention improves the accuracy of the acquired surrounding vehicle state information by using different system sensing units at different vehicle distances, thereby achieving safer automatic driving. The specific mode is that more accurate data are obtained by combining the image processing unit and the V2X communication unit and are sent to the decision unit, so that the automatic driving vehicle can perform more optimal reaction actions.
According to the above embodiment, the automatic driving method and system provided by the present invention mainly combine the system structure of the image processing unit and the V2X communication unit to obtain the driving state information of the surrounding vehicles. Compared with the prior art, the method can help the automatic driving vehicle to acquire more accurate data, and optimize the problems of missing detection, calculation error and the like; the automatic driving vehicle can be more suitable for severe driving environments such as large traffic flow, heavy fog weather and the like, and the traffic safety is improved. The invention can be applied to an autonomous vehicle having both a V2X communication system and an image processing system.
The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, but various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
