Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for detecting and locating obstacles located in the environment of a stopped or moving vehicle.
- An important function of mobile robotics concerns the detection of objects or obstacles located in front of or on the side of the carrier vehicle, insofar as these can impede its movement and must be bypassed, or require its complete stop for the sake of safety. or, on the contrary, are sufficiently distant or in a direction such that the vehicle can continue its way without deviation.
- a secondary aspect of this detection consists in using a priori knowledge of the (absolute) positioning of the detected object with respect to a map or a larger site, so that by detecting this object and by measuring its coordinates (site and distance ) information about the absolute position of the vehicle itself can be obtained.
- a convenient means of detecting objects located in the periphery of a vehicle and making it possible to measure the coordinates thereof is by using ultrasonic sensors.
- an acoustic wave is emitted periodically and, being reflected by the objects constituting obstacles to its propagation, returns to the sensor after a delay time, which depends directly on the distance of the object thus detected.
- the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
- the invention firstly relates to a method for detecting and locating obstacles located in the environment of a vehicle, characterized in that it comprises the steps consisting in transmitting signals towards of said environment from a plurality of radars arranged on the vehicle, to deduce from the signals received in echo the probabilities of occupation by an obstacle of a set of elementary cells of said environment, and to merge the probabilities relating to each of said cells .
- the fusion is carried out on the values of the probabilities provided by a plurality of radars, and in particular two radars.
- the fusion is carried out spatially so as to associate data returned simultaneously by a subset of radars having detected the same obstacle from different angles.
- the merge is performed on the value of the probability supplied by a radar and the value of the probability previously known for the same cell.
- the fusion is carried out temporally, the same obstacle being seen successively by the same sensor which will have advanced at the same time as the vehicle.
- the merge operation is applied to the value already assigned to the cell.
- a step of thresholding the results of the fusion is provided so as to obtain a stripped map of the various artefacts which may come from specular or multiple reflection, from the emitted radar waves.
- the signal emitted by the radars is frequency modulated, the signal received in echo is mixed with a fraction of the signal emitted so, after elimination of the carrier frequency, to form a beat signal, and the beat pulses are counted during a predetermined interval to provide the distance from an obstacle.
- this distance can be provided by Fourrier transformation.
- the emission of each radar lasts a limited time and the repetition logic can even be coded for the purpose of identifying the source.
- the invention also relates to a device for modeling the environment of a vehicle, characterized in that it comprises a plurality of radars mounted on the vehicle and a processing unit arranged to merge the data provided by the radars.
- radars of this type are generally used in speed measurement whereas here, it is the distance which is measured principally, the speed measurement being possibly used only on an ancillary basis.
- the radars used for distance measurements are generally radars operating in pulses, radars with continuous emission and operating in frequency modulation are preferably used here.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of a vehicle fitted with the means of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a functional diagram of these means
- FIG. 3 illustrates the signals emitted by the radars
- FIG. 4 represents the modeling of the environment of the vehicle
- FIG. 5 illustrates the function of distribution of the probabilities of occupation of a cell by an obstacle as a function of the distance from the focus of an antenna
- FIG. 6 illustrates the function of distribution of the probabilities of occupation of this cell according to the angular difference between its direction and the axis of the antenna.
- FIG. 1 represents an automatic vehicle provided with a platform 1 on which are mounted a plurality of radars 2, for example twenty.
- the radars 2 are here wide-lobe radars, that is to say with an opening angle 2 ⁇ typically between 15 ° and 120 °.
- an opening angle 2 ⁇ typically between 15 ° and 120 °.
- a large angle 2 ⁇ is sought to obtain good peripheral coverage around the vehicle with as few sensors as possible.
- the radars 2 are here FMCW radars with frequency modulation and continuous emission or by time window.
- the radars 2 are placed at the periphery of the vehicle so as to obtain a vision as complete as desired of its environment.
- each of these antennas is connected via an interface circuit 4a, 4b, 4c respectively, to a unit 5 capable of producing the trigger signals Sa, Sb and Se respectively of the radars.
- the trigger signals may be common to all radars.
- the signals Sa, Sb, Se are frequency modulated as shown in FIG. 3.
- a carrier frequency Fp is modulated by a sawtooth wave of frequency ⁇ f. This frequency generation can be ensured at unit 5 by a GUNN oscillating diode.
- the modulated transmission lasts a limited time D. This thus facilitates the differentiation of the signals received as well as the extraction of the information sought.
- the repetition logic of the transmissions that is to say the duration T in FIG. 3, for example according to a pseudo-random model, it is possible to personalize each of the transmissions. It is thus in particular possible to operate several vehicles in the same environment.
- the signal received in return by each antenna 2a, 2b, 2c is processed in an analog processing unit 6a, 6b, 6c respectively.
- the received signal is out of phase with the transmitted signal.
- a beat signal at a typical frequency of the order of 1 kHz is obtained.
- the signal is first filtered to eliminate the high frequencies, corresponding to the most distant obstacles. We thus retain only the signal backscattered by the first obstacle encountered, which is then processed by Fourrier transform.
- the speed information is not necessary for the implementation of the invention. Its availability is nevertheless an advantage in applications.
- the digitized distance and speed information is supplied by the analog processing units 6a, 6b, 6c to the digital processor 7.
- the processor 7 essentially consists of a calculation unit capable of accessing a memory 8.
- Each element of the memory 8 is associated with an elementary cell 9 of the environment of the vehicle.
- the content of each of its memory elements represents the probability that a particular cell, identified by its site ⁇ and its distance d from the vehicle, contains an obstacle.
- FIG. 4 represents 2 radars 11 and 12 each having detected an obstacle, the first at the distance di and the second at the distance d2-
- a probability of occupation is assigned to each cell as a function of the distance at which an obstacle has been detected, of the distance from this cell to the focal point of the antenna and the angular difference between the line of sight of the antenna and the direction of the cell.
- FIG. 5 represents the function of distribution of the probabilities of occupation of a cell as a function of its distance from the focus of the antenna of the radar 11, and
- FIG. 6 the function of distribution of the probabilities as a function the angular difference ⁇ between the axis of this antenna and the direction considered.
- the maximum probability is of course encountered for the distance d-j and in the direction of sight of the antenna.
- Zone B of positive probability in FIG. 5 corresponds to two annular bands on either side of the circle with radius dj. It is also verified in FIG. 5 that only the first obstacle encountered is taken into account since beyond a certain distance (zone D) function of d "
- Zone D zone D
- no information is provided by the measurement outside the emission lobe
- This algorithm can be implemented in the manner described above, that is to say spatially, by merging the probability information coming from two radars, or even in a temporal manner, by using the probability information coming from 'a single speed camera and merging it with the probability already present for the cell considered in memory 8.
- the probabilities of occupying the space are continuously expressed between -1 (cell certainly empty) and +1 (cell certainly occupied).
- a thresholding of the results of the raw fusion is then carried out so as to obtain a map of the environment of the vehicle on which the obstacles are borne.
- the card thus obtained thus provides precise information on the environment of the vehicle and allows:
