Description

距离测量方法和距离测量装置
本申请要求于2019年12月18日递交的申请号为201911311965.1、申请名称为“距离测量方法和距离测量装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及传感器技术领域,并且更具体地,涉及传感器技术领域中的距离测量方法和距离测量装置。
背景技术
随着社会的发展和科技的进步,传感器技术在距离测量中的应用越来越广泛。例如,身高测量装置是一种能够测量人们的身高的测距装置,用户通过身高测量装置测量得到的身高,并结合体重、体脂等生理参数,综合评估身体的健康情况。
现有60GHz及77GHz的毫米波频段具有较大可用带宽,采用调频连续波(frequency modulated continuous wave,FMCW)调制方式可实现厘米级测距精度,同时可进行测速,目前广泛应用于车载雷达来检测障碍物距离,感知物体的远近。
然而,采用现有的不同频段的雷达信号测距方法进行目标测距时,由于雷达信号易受周边环境中的障碍物影响,从而导致检测到错误目标的距离,因此,测量精度较低。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种距离测量方法和距离测量装置,能够提高测量的精确度。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种身高测量方法,该方法包括:
接收第一时间段内发射的多个第一雷达信号在探测范围内产生的多个第一回波信号;
根据所述多个第一回波信号,确定第一点云数据集,所述第一点云数据集包括多个第一点云数据,所述多个第一点云数据用于表示所述探测范围内的被测对象上的多个障碍点,所述多个第一点云数据中的每个第一点云数据包括距离值、速率值和信噪比值,所述每个第一点云数据中的距离值用于表示所述每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点距所述多个第一雷达信号的发射原点的距离,所述每个第一点云数据中的速率值用于表示所述每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点相对于所述发射原点的运动速率,所述每个第一点云数据中的信噪比值用于表示所述每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点处的噪声;
根据所述第一点云数据集中包括的每个第一点云数据中的信噪比值和速率值,对所述第一点云数据集进行去噪,得到目标数据集;
根据所述目标数据集中包括的每个第一点云数据中的距离值,对所述目标数据集中包括的第一点云数据进行聚类,得到至少一个分类,其中,所述至少一个分类对应至少一个障碍物,所述至少一个分类中的每个分类包括的障碍点构成所述每个分类对应的障碍物;
根据所述每个分类包括的每个第一点云数据中的距离值,确定所述每个分类对应的障碍物距所述发射原点的距离。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中所述的“第一”、“第二”等仅用于区分不同时间段内的相同术语,除非特别说明,否则都与数量、类型等无关。
还需要说明的是,本申请实施例仅以被测对象为人,通过距离测量装置对被测人进行身高测量为例进行介绍,但本申请实施例不限于此。
需要说明的是,在接收第一时间段内发射的多个第一雷达信号在探测范围内产生的多个第一回波信号之前,被测对象处需要先进行测量准备,即对被测对象上距所述发射原点最远的一端处设置的目标障碍物进行微抖动。
例如,以身高测量为例,被测人需要将手掌伸出额头微抖动。
需要说明的是,由于运动状态不同的障碍点处的速率不同,因此,构成被测人头顶处抖动的目标障碍物的障碍点处的速率与周围其他障碍点的速率不同。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述根据所述第一点云数据集中包括的每个第一点云数据中的信噪比值和速率值,对所述第一点云数据集进行去噪,得到目标数据集,包括:根据所述第一点云数据集中包括的每个第一点云数据中的信噪比值和速率值以及预设的信噪比阈值和速率阈值,对所述第一点云数据集进行去噪,得到所述目标数据集,所述速率阈值是根据所述至少一个障碍物中的目标障碍物的速率确定的。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例的距离测量方法中的第一点云数据提取的是具有速率信息的反射体,当雷达的速率分辨率达0.08m/s时,则雷达可识别微小震动的障碍物,比如身体静态下躯干的微震动,而此类震动物体形成的第一点云数据对目标障碍物的距离测量具有干扰而需要被滤除,因此,可以通过速率阈值滤除干扰。
同时,本申请实施例的距离测量方法中检测的是目标障碍物的微抖动,这样的微抖动产生的回波信号强度较弱,信噪比不强,因此,可以通过信噪比阈值来滤除噪声。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述目标障碍物的速率大于或等于所述速率阈值。
需要说明的是,聚类得到的至少一个障碍物中包括该目标障碍物,所述目标障碍物包括第一障碍点和第二障碍点,且所述第一障碍点与所述第二障碍点之间的距离小于预设的距离阈值。
可选地,可以通过具有噪声的基于密度的聚类方法对该目标第一点云数据集中的第一点云数据进行聚类。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述目标障碍物包括第一障碍点和第二障碍点,所述第一障碍点与所述第二障碍点之间的距离小于预设的距离阈值。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述目标障碍物对应所述至少一个分类中的目标分类,所述根据所述每个分类包括的每个第一点云数据中的距离值,确定与所述每个分类对应的障碍物距所述发射原点的距离,包括:将所述至少一个分类中包括第一点云数据的数量最多的分类,确定为所述目标分类;根据所述目标分类中包括的每个第一点云数据中的距离值,确定所述目标障碍物距所述发射原点的距离。
需要说明的是,所述至少一个分类中包括所述目标障碍物对应的目标分类,以身高测量为例,该目标障碍物设置于被测人头顶处,该目标障碍物距该发射原点的距离可以理解为该被测人的身高。
采用本申请实施例所述的距离测量方法,对目标第一点云数据集中的第一点云数据进行聚类并选取目标分类之后有利于进一步消除由于异常点的干扰,而这异常点来自于目标障碍物以外的其他环境干扰,也来自于对目标障碍物抖动产生的信号参数估计误差,如角度估计误差导致的x,y坐标偏差,而这些参数将用于下一步骤中的距离测量,因此,通过聚类能进一步消减干扰点的干扰,提高距离测量的精确度。

需要说明的是,以身高测量为例,由于通过上述第一方面中所述的方法得到的瞬时身高值受噪声干扰、抬手、落手、躯干微动等影响导致瞬时值变化较大,因此,可以通过以下两种方法提高测量得到的身高值的精确度和稳定性。
方法一:统计1s时间内连续帧时刻中每帧测量得到的瞬时高度值的方差

如果
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000002
则将这1s内的每帧测量得到的瞬时高度值的平均值作为被测人的最终身高值。其中,σ th1为预设的第一方差阈值,该第一方差阈值的取值范围为第一阈值范围。
方法二:统计多秒时间内连续帧时刻中每帧得到的瞬时高度值的方差

根据所述多个第一频谱数据组包括的每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值,确定所述被测对象上的目标障碍物距所述发射原点的距离,所述目标障碍物由至少一个障碍点构成,运动状态不同的障碍点处的信号反射强度不同。
需要说明的是,以身高测量为例,该目标障碍物设置于被测人头顶处,该目标障碍物距该发射原点的距离可以理解为该被测人的身高。
需要说明的是,以身高测量为例,由于测量准备的时候,用户伸出手掌在头顶处微动,增大了头顶高度对应的range-bin处的方差值。因此,在距离阈值范围内搜索Range-FFT方差曲线谱上值大于等于方差阈值的最远波峰值所对应的距离值作为当前瞬时身高值;或方差大于等于该方差阈值的最大距离值作为当前瞬时身高值。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述根据所述多个第一频谱数据组包括的每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值,确定所述被测对象上的目标障碍物距所述发射原点的距离,包括:根据所述多个第一频谱数据组包括的每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值和第一方差阈值,确定所述目标障碍物距所述发射原点的距离,所述第一方差阈值是根据构成所述目标障碍物的所述至少一个障碍点处的信号强度确定的。

第三方面,本申请实施例还提供一种距离测量方法,该方法包括:
接收第一时间段内发射的多个第一雷达信号在第一探测范围内产生的多个第一回波信号;
根据所述多个第一回波信号,确定与所述多个第一回波信号对应的多个第一频谱数据组,所述多个第一频谱数据组中的每个第一频谱数据组包括多个第一频谱数据,所述多个第一频谱数据表示所述第一探测范围内的多个障碍点,所述多个第一频谱数据中的每个第一频谱数据包括距离值和信号强度值,所述每个第一频谱数据的距离值用于表示所述每个第一频谱数据所表示的障碍点距所述多个第一雷达信号的第一发射原点的距离,所述每个第一频谱数据的信号强度值用于表示所述每个第一频谱数据所表示的障碍点对所述每个第一频谱数据所对应的第一雷达信号的反射强度,其中,所述每个第一频谱数据组包括的多个距离值相同;

根据所述多个第一频谱数据组中相同距离值对应的归一化信号强度值,确定固定位置的参照物到所述第一发射原点之间的第一距离,所述第一距离大于被测对象到所述第一发射原点之间的距离;
根据所述第一距离,确定被测对象距所述第一发射原点的距离。
需要说明的是,由于该归一化Rang-FFT上每个range-bin的幅值反映的是障碍点对雷达信号的反射强度,因此,归一化Rang-FFT中幅值大于幅值阈值的最远波峰所对应的距离可以被认为是参照物到该第一发射原点之间的第一距离。
需要说明的是,测量第一距离时,第一雷达信号的探测方向为由所述第一发射原点至所述参照物,由于该第一距离与被测对象无关,第一雷达信号无需探测被测对象的距离信息,因此,被测对象可以位于距第一雷达信号较远的位置,或者第一雷达信号的探测范围外,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
例如,以身高测量为例,第一距离可以为被测人脚底至天花板之间的距离,第二距离可以为被测人头顶至天花板之间的距离。
可选地,在根据所述第一距离,确定被测对象距所述第一发射原点的距离之前,可以获取所述参照物至所述被测对象距所述参照物最近的一端之间的第二距离;所述根据所述第一距离,确定被测对象距所述第一发射原点的距离,包括:根据所述第一距离和所述第二距离,确定所述被测对象距所述第一发射原点的距离。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以接收第二时间段内发射的多个第二雷达信号在第二探测范围内产生的多个第二回波信号,所述第二探测范围与所述第一探测范围的探测反向相反;根据所述多个第二回波信号,确定与所述多个第二回波信号对应的多个第二频谱数据组,所述多个第二频谱数据组中的每个第二频谱数据组包括多个第二频谱数据,所述多个第二频谱数据表示所述第二探测范围内的多个障碍点,所述多个第二频谱数据中的每个第 二频谱数据包括距离值和信号强度值,所述每个第二频谱数据的距离值用于表示所述每个第二频谱数据所表示的障碍点距所述多个第二雷达信号的第二发射原点的距离,所述每个第二频谱数据的信号强度值用于表示所述每个第二频谱数据所表示的障碍点对所述多个第二雷达发射信号的反射强度,其中,所述每个第二频谱数据组包括的多个距离值相同;对所述每个第二频谱数据组包括的多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值进行归一化处理,得到所述每个第二频谱数据组包括的多个距离值中每个距离值对应的归一化信号强度值;根据所述多个第二频谱数据组中相同距离值对应的归一化信号强度值,确定所述第二距离。
需要说明的是,第二距离的确定过程与第一距离的确定过程的原理类似,其区别仅在于,第二距离是参照物到被测对象的距所述参照物最近的一端之间的距离,因此,需要将距离测量装置放置于距所述参照物最近的一端,即第二雷达信号的探测方向与第一雷达信号的探测方向相反,即由距所述参照物最近的一端至所述参照物。
还需要说明,还可以采用第一方面中介绍的提高距离测量的精确度的方法,提高距离测量的经度,以及采用第一方面中介绍的判断被测对象的位置是否满足测量条件的方法,判断被测对象的位置是否满足测量条件,为避免重复,此处不再赘述。
采用本申请实施例提供的距离测量方法,能更好的反应雷达探测范围内障碍物的分布,便于统一门限值得设定,提高了算法及产品的普适性。

在一种可能的实现方式中,图2示出了该距离测量装置为独立的距离测量设备的一种可能的产品形态(距离测量装置内部的模块未示出)。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,以测量身高为例,图3示出了该距离测量装置集成在测量设备中的一种可能的产品形态(距离测量装置内部的模块未示出),该距离测量装置设置的位置与被测人站立的位置不重叠。

上面结合图1至图3介绍了本申请实施例提供的距离测量装置,下面将以测量身高为例,结合图4和图5介绍本申请实施例提供的应用场景。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中仅以该被测对象为人,通过该距离测量装置测量该被测人的身高为例进行介绍,但本申请实施例不限于此。
还需要说明的是,在进行身高测量之前,被测人需要按照首先进行测量准备。
例如,如图4所示,当使用如图2所示的距离测量设备测量身高时,该距离测量设备放置于被测人的前方地板上,当被测人准备测量时,在头顶高度处将手掌伸出前额头,与雷达信号的y轴垂直,快速地微微抖动手掌,使得雷达信号能够检测到头顶位置处手掌的微抖动,该距离测量装置通过测量手掌到雷达信号的发射原点之间的距离,确定被测人的身高。

下面将结合图6介绍本申请实施例提供的距离测量方法200的示意性流程图,该方法200可以由图1所示的距离测量装置执行,且该方法200适用于如图4或图5中所示的应用场景。
S210,接收第一时间段内发射的多个第一雷达信号在探测范围内产生的多个第一回波信号。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中所述的“第一”、“第二”等仅用于区分不同时间段内的相同术语,除非特别说明,否则都与数量、类型等无关。
还需要说明的是,本申请实施例仅以被测对象为人,通过距离测量装置对被测人进行身高测量为例进行介绍,但本申请实施例不限于此。
需要说明的是,在S210之前,被测对象处需要先进行测量准备,即对被测对象上距所述发射原点最远的一端处设置的目标障碍物进行微抖动。
例如,以身高测量为例,被测人需要按照图4或图5中所示的应用场景中所述方法,将手伸出额头微抖动。
例如,该距离测量装置在一帧时间内周期性发射K个chirp信号(K=64~128),帧率大于等于20Hz,即帧周期可设置为50~100ms。其中,chirp信号可以如表达式(1):
x(t)=A cos(2πf(t)t+Φ 0)       (1)
其中,
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000005
B为带宽,f 0为固定初始相位,t c为Chirp信号周期,A为幅值,Φ 0为起始频率。
图7中第1个子图示出了chirp信号时域幅值变化的示意图,第2个子图示出了chirp信号频率线性变化的示意图,第3个子图示出了一帧时间内的K个chirp信号的时域幅值变化的示意图。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,所述距离测量装置发射的第一雷达信号的带宽大于3GHz,所述距离测量装置中发射天线数大于等于1,接收天线数大于等于1,天线辐射3dB波束宽度要求水平平面(H-plane)和垂直平面(E-plane)都小于等于90°,也就是说主瓣波束需要比较集中。
可选地,本申请实施例中仅以第一雷达信号为chirp信号为例进行介绍,该距离测量装置还可以发射其它类型的雷达信号,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
S220,根据所述多个第一回波信号,确定第一点云数据集,所述第一点云数据集包括多个第一点云数据,所述多个第一点云数据用于表示所述探测范围内的被测对象上的多个障碍点,所述多个第一点云数据中的每个第一点云数据包括距离值、速率值和信噪比值,所述每个第一点云数据中的距离值用于表示所述每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点距所述多个第一雷达信号的发射原点的距离,所述每个第一点云数据中的速率值用于表示所述每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点相对于所述发射原点的运动速率,所述每个第一点云数据中的信噪比值用于表示所述每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点处的噪声。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以根据所述多个第一回波信号,确定所述多个第一回波信号对应的多个第一频谱数据组,所述多个第一频谱数据组中的每个第一频谱数据组包括多个第一频谱数据,所述多个第一频谱数据表示所述探测范围内的多个障碍点,所述多个第一频谱数据中的每个第一频谱数据包括距离值和信号强度值,所述每个第一频谱数据的距离值用于表示所述每个第一频谱数据所表示的障碍点距所述发射原点的距离,所述每个第一频谱数据的信号强度值用于表示所述每个第一频谱数据所表示的障碍点对所述每个第一频谱数据所对应的第一雷达信号的反射强度,其中,所述每个第一频谱数据组包括的多个距离值相同;根据所述每个第一频谱数据中的距离值和信号强度值,确定所述第一点云数据集。
例如,假设r(n)为接收天线单个chirp信号的接收解调后的基带离散采样信号,n为单个chirp信号周期内采样数,通过如下公式(2)对r(n)做N 1点快速傅里叶变换(fast fourier transformation,FFT)计算,即1维(1D)-FFT计算,得到Range-FFT(也称为距离谱)R(k)。
R(k)=FFT(r(n),N 1),N 1≥n 1        (2)
需要说明的是,图8示出了该Range-FFT,该Range-FFT定义为R(k)正频域N 1/2个复数的模值
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000006
构成的向量,每个值对应一个频点(range-bin),range-bin范围为
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000007
其中
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000008
为单个range-bin对应的距离,也即距离分辨率,最大探测距离为
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000009
如图8所示,Range-FFT中包括N 1/2个频点,每个频点对应的横轴值表示该频点所表示的障碍点距第一雷达信号的发射原点的距离,每个频点对应的纵轴值表示该频点表示的障碍点对第一雷达信号的反射强度。其中,第一雷达信号探测范围内的一个障碍物可以由至少一个障碍点构成。
也就是说,K个chirp信号可以得到K个上述R(k)序列,即K个Range-FFT,其中,1个Range-FFT称为一个第一频谱数据组,Range-FFT上的1个频点对应的距离值和反射强度值称为第一频谱数据组中的1个第一频谱数据。
例如,图9中第1个子图至第2个子图示出了单个chirp信号进行1D-FFT计算得到Range-FFT的过程,第2个子图至第3个子图示出了K个Range-FFT按行排列得到的
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000010
个复数构成的复数矩阵,该复数矩阵中的每个复数(即图9中第3个子图中的一格)包括实部和虚部,实部表示range-bin,虚部表示该range-bin处的信号反射强度。
然后,对K个R(k)序列中的每一个R(k)序列里面同一range-bin上的K个值构成的序列进行第2个维度的FFT计算,即2维(2D)-FFT计算,得到Range-Doppler(也称为距离多普勒速率谱)。
在一种可能的实现方式中,图9中第3个子图至第4个子图示出了对K个Range-FFT中的每一列再做一次N 2点FFT计算,即2D-FFT计算,得到的Range-Doppler的过程。其中,Range-Doppler表示为

需要说明的是,上述Range-Doppler中的每个方格处的复数的实部、虚部和该每个方格的颜色三个维度的信息被称为一个第一点云数据,K个Range-Doppler上的所有方格对应的第一点云数据构成第一点云数据集。
也就是说,该多个第一点云数据表示该探测范围内的被测对象上的多个障碍点,该多个第一点云数据中的每个第一点云数据包括距离值、速率值和信噪比值,该每个第一点云数据中的距离值用于表示该每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点距该发射原点的距离,该每个第一点云数据中的速率值用于表示该障碍点相对于该发射原点的运动速率,该每个第一点云数据中的信噪比值用于表示该障碍点处的噪声。
可选地,本申请实施例中的第一点云数据可以通过多种格式表示,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一点云数据可以通过如下表达式(3)中的格式一表示:
α=[r,v,s]            (3)
其中,r为距离值,v为Doppler速率的模值,s为SNR值。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,当该距离测量装置的雷达具有多输入多输出(multiple-input multiple-output,MIMO)天线阵列时,例如,3个发射天线,4个接收天线的3×4MIMO天线阵列时,该雷达可进行第一回波信号的角度估计,根据估计的水平方位角可估算出Range-Doppler各个方格对应的数据点的水平二维坐标该,因此,第一点云数据可以通过如下表达式(4)中的格式二表示:
α=[x,y,v,s]           (4)
其中,y轴为雷达的水平径向,x轴为雷达的水平切向,v为Doppler速率的模值,s为SNR值。
在又一种可能的实现方式中,当该距离测量装置的雷达具有MIMO天线阵列时,该雷达可进行第一回波信号的角度估计,根据估计的水平方位角可估算出Range-Doppler各个方格对应的水平二维坐标,根据估计的垂直方位角可估算出各方格对应的三维坐标,因此,第一点云数据可以通过如下表达式(5)中的格式三表示:
α=[x,y,z,v,s]           (5)
其中,y轴为第一雷达信号的水平径向,x轴为第一雷达信号的水平切向,z轴为第一雷达信号的垂直方向,v为Doppler速率的模值,s为SNR值。
也就是说,所述每个第一点云数据中的距离值包括所述每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点在所述径向方向上的距离分量值和在所述第一雷达信号的切向方向上的距离分量值;或,所述每个第一点云数据中的距离值包括所述每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点在所述径向方向上的距离分量值、在所述切向方向上的距离分量值和在所述第一雷达信号的垂直方向上的距离分量值。

其中,α i表示1个第一点云数据。
S230,根据所述第一点云数据集中包括的每个第一点云数据中的信噪比值和速率值,对所述第一点云数据集进行去噪,得到目标数据集。
需要说明的是,由于运动状态不同的障碍点处的速率不同,因此,构成被测人头顶处抖动的目标障碍物的障碍点处的速率与周围其他障碍点的速率不同。
可选地,根据所述第一点云数据集中包括的每个第一点云数据中的信噪比值和速率值以及预设的信噪比阈值和速率阈值,对所述第一点云数据集进行去噪,得到所述目标数据集,所述速率阈值是根据所述至少一个障碍物中的目标障碍物的速率确定的。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述目标障碍物的速率可以等于所述速率阈值。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,所述目标障碍物的速率可以略大于所述速率阈值。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例的距离测量方法中的第一点云数据提取的是具有速率信息的反射体,当雷达的速率分辨率达0.08m/s时,则雷达可识别微小震动的障碍物,比如身体静态下躯干的微震动,而此类震动物体形成的第一点云数据对目标障碍物的距离测量具有干扰而需要被滤除,因此,可以通过速率阈值滤除干扰。
同时,本申请实施例的距离测量方法中检测的是目标障碍物的微抖动,这样的微抖动产生的回波信号强度较弱,信噪比不强,因此,可以通过信噪比阈值来滤除噪声。
综上所述,可以将第一点云数据集中v≤v th且s≥s th的第一点云数据滤除掉,从而减少干扰和噪声,其中,v th为预设的速率阈值,s th为预设的噪声阈值。
例如,v th可以取值为0.16m/s,s th和v th可以根据目标障碍物的运动速率设置,此外,s th可以依不同平台而设置不同值。

在一种可能的实现方式中,可以通过具有噪声的基于密度的聚类方法(density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise,DBSCAN)对该目标第一点云数据集中的第一点云数据进行聚类。
可选地,不同格式的第一点云数据,可以根据不同的信息进行聚类,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以根据所述目标数据集中包括的每个第一点云数据中的距离值,对所述目标数据集中包括的第一点云数据进行聚类,得到至少一个分类。

也就是说,对于公式(4)所示的第一点云数据的格式二和公式(5)所示的第一点云数据的格式三,可以提取[x,y]或[x,y,v]作为单个第一点云数据进行聚类。
S250,根据所述每个分类包括的每个第一点云数据中的距离值,确定所述每个分类对应的障碍物距所述发射原点的距离。
需要说明的是,所述至少一个分类中包括所述目标障碍物对应的目标分类,以身高测量为例,该目标障碍物设置于被测人头顶处,该目标障碍物距该发射原点的距离可以理解为该被测人的身高。
可选地,可以从所述至少一个分类中确定所述目标分类,所述目标分类中包括的每个第一点云数据所表示的障碍点构成所述目标障碍物。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以将所述至少一个分类中包括第一点云数据的数量最多的分类,确定为所述目标分类。
可选地,目标分类中包括的第一点云数据可以通过如下公式(8)表示:
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000018
例如,以DBSCAN算法为例,该算法的关键参数ε-领域取值为0.8,核心对象样本点最小数MinPts取值为5时,该目标分类的选取可以如图10中虚线圆圈所示。
采用本申请实施例所述的距离测量方法,对目标第一点云数据集中的第一点云数据进行聚类并选取目标分类之后有利于进一步消除由于异常点的干扰,而这异常点来自于目标障碍物以外的其他环境干扰,也来自于对目标障碍物抖动产生的信号参数估计误差,如角度估计误差导致的x,y坐标偏差,而这些参数将用于下一步骤中的距离测量,因此,通过聚类能进一步消减干扰点的干扰,提高距离测量的精确度。
可选地,以身高测量为例,根据目标分类中包括的第一点云数据的不同格式,可以通 过不同的方法确定被测人的身高值,即被测人头顶处的目标障碍物至发射原点的距离。
在一种可能的实现方式中,目标分类中包括的第一点云数据采用公式(3)所示的第一点云数据的格式一时,当前瞬时身高值h可以通过公式(9)表示:

其中,w i为加权因子,
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000020
r i为目标分类中第i个第一点云数据的距离值。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,目标分类中包括的第一点云数据采用公式(4)所示的第一点云数据的格式二和公式(5)所示的第一点云数据的格式三时,当前瞬时身高值h可以通过公式(10)表示:

y i为目标分类中第i个第一点云数据的距离值在y轴的分量。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中所述的当前瞬时高度值指根据当前1帧内的K个chirp信号测量得到的身高值。
可选地,本申请实施例中的w i可以通过多种方式确定,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,各w i取值相等,即w i=1/m。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,该w i的取值与信噪比相关,如
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000023
其中,s” i为目标分类中第i个第一点云数据的信噪比值。
采用本申请实施例提供的距离测量方法,由于第一点云数据的距离值在y轴的分量反应的是真实的雷达径向方向的距离,因此,通过对目标分类中每个第一点云数据的距离值在y轴的分量进行加权,能够提高距离测量的精确度。
此外,采用本申请实施例提供的距离测量方法,能够有效消除周边障碍物、人体躯干微动等干扰噪声,有效提高测量精度,同时可适应更加复杂的测量环境。
此外,当进行身高测量时,可满足大人在旁边为小孩测量身高的需求,提高了实用性。
需要说明的是,以身高测量为例,由于通过上述S210~S250得到的瞬时身高值受噪声干扰、抬手、落手、躯干微动等影响导致瞬时值变化较大,因此,可以通过以下两种方法提高测量得到的身高值的精确度和稳定性。
方法一:
统计1s时间内连续帧时刻中每帧测量得到的瞬时高度值的方差

则将这1s内的每帧测量得到的瞬时高度值的平均值作为被测人的最终身高值。其中,σ th1为预设的第一方差阈值,该第一方差阈值的取值范围为第一阈值范围。
方法二:
统计多秒时间内连续帧时刻中每帧得到的瞬时高度值的方差
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000026
如果
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000027
利用直方图分布提取分布最集中的身高值区间,如图11中虚线圈区间,然后将该区间内包括的身高值的平均值作为被测人的最终身高值。其中,σ th2为预设的第二方差阈值,该第二方差阈值的取值范围为第二阈值范围,且该第二阈值范围大于该第一阈值范围。
通过上述方法一和方法二,能够消除人体大幅度晃动等干扰下的无效测量值,提高了测量精度与测量稳定性。
需要说明的是,在根据所述每个第一频谱数据中的距离值和信号强度值,确定所述第一点云数据集之前,该距离测量装置可以先判断该被测对象的位置是否满足测量条件,当该被测对象的位置满足测量条件时,再进行距离测量,当该被测对象的位置不满足测量条件时,可以暂停距离测量功能,以节省能耗。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以通过以下方式判断被测对象的位置是否满足测量条件:接收第二时间段内发射的多个第二雷达信号在所述探测范围内产生的多个第二回波信号,所述第二时间段的结束时刻不晚于所述第一时间段的结束时刻;根据所述多个第二回波信号,确定所述多个第二回波信号对应的多个第二频谱数据组,所述多个第二频谱数据组中的每个第二频谱数据组包括多个第二频谱数据,所述多个第二频谱数据表示所述探测范围内的多个障碍点,所述多个第二频谱数据中的每个第二频谱数据包括距离值和信号强度值,所述每个第二频谱数据的距离值用于表示所述每个第二频谱数据所表示的障碍点距所述发射原点的距离,所述每个第二频谱数据的信号强度值用于表示所述每个第二频谱数据所表示的障碍点对所述每个第二频谱数据所对应的第二雷达信号的反射强度,其中,所述每个第二频谱数据组包括的多个距离值相同;根据所述每个第二频谱数据中的距离值和信号强度值,确定所述被测对象的位置是否满足测量条件。

可选地,所述第二时间段的时长与所述第一时间段的时长可以相同也可以不同,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,判定被测对象的位置是否满足测量条件的过程可以在确定该第一点云数据之前执行,也就是说,该距离测量装置的缓存中可以缓存根据多个时间段内发射的chirp信号的回波信号得到的Range-FFT,每个chirp的Range-FFT按先进先出法则在缓存中存储与删除,当根据第二时间段内的多个chirp信号(即第二雷达信号)得到的回波信号(即第二回波信号)得到的Range-FFT判断被测对象的位置满足测量条件时,则继续根据第一时间段内的多个第一回波信号确定第一点云数据并进行距离测量。
可选地,本申请实施例中,可以通过多种方式,根据所述每个第二频谱数据中的距离值和信号强度值,确定所述被测对象的位置是否满足测量条件,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以对所述每个第二频谱数据组包括的多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值进行归一化处理,得到所述每个第二频谱数据组包括的多个距离值中每个距离值对应的归一化信号强度值;根据所述多个第二频谱数据组中相同距离值对应的归一化信号强度值,确定所述多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值;根据所述多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值,确定所述被测对象的位置是否满足所述测量条件。
需要说明的是,上述根据该多个第二回波信号,确定所述多个第二回波信号对应的多个第二频谱数据组,即根据第二时间段内发射的P个chirp信号得到P个Range-FFT的过程可以参考上述对多个第一回波信号的处理,为避免重复此处不再赘述。
在一种可能的实现方式中,对P个每个Range-FFT进行归一化处理的过程包括:步骤 1,查找Range-FFT中最大幅值α max=max(α i),
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000028
步骤2,对该Range-FFT中各range-bin上的幅值除以最大值得到当前帧时刻归一化Range-FFT,
Figure PCTCN2020137467-appb-000029
如图12所示。
然后,对P个归一化处理后的Range-FFT中每个range-bin上的幅值求取方差,得到每个range-bin对应的归一化幅值的方差值。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第二时间段内P个归一化Range-FFT可表示为

可选地,本申请实施例中,可以通过多种方式,根据所述多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值,即每个range-bin对应的归一化幅值的方差值,确定所述被测对象的位置是否满足所述测量条件,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当所述多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值中大于第三方差阈值(如图13中的第三方差阈值为0.2)的数量大于或等于数量阈值时,确定所述被测对象的位置满足所述测量条件;或,当所述多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值中大于所述第三方差阈值的数量小于所述数量阈值时,确定所述被测对象的位置不满足所述测量条件。
例如,以身高测量为例,当所述多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值中大于第三方差阈值的数量k>k th时,确定被测人的位置满足测量条件,即被测人已靠近装置,可以开始有效测量,并提示被测人准备测量,被测人可以按照图4和图5中应用场景所述的动作完成准备测量;当所述多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值中大于所述第三方差阈值的数量k≤k th时,确定被测人的位置不满足测量条件,即被测人距离装置较远,可以提醒被测人靠近;当所述多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值中大于所述第三方差阈值的数量k=0时,确定当前探测区域中无人,可以停止距离测量或进入休眠。其中,k th为数量阈值。
采用本申请实施例提供的距离测量装置,无需借助外部传感器如人体红外传感器、压力传感器来判定是否可启动距离测量功能,从而简化了测量装置,降低功耗与成本。

S310,接收第一时间段内发射的多个第一雷达信号在探测范围内产生的多个第一回波信号。
S320,根据所述多个第一回波信号,确定与所述多个第一回波信号对应的多个第一频谱数据组,所述多个第一频谱数据组中的每个第一频谱数据组包括多个第一频谱数据,所述多个第一频谱数据表示所述探测范围内的被测对象上的多个障碍点,所述多个第一频谱 数据中的每个第一频谱数据包括距离值和信号强度值,所述每个第一频谱数据的距离值用于表示所述每个第一频谱数据所表示的障碍点距所述多个第一雷达信号的发射原点的距离,所述每个第一频谱数据的信号强度值用于表示所述每个第一频谱数据所表示的障碍点处的信号反射强度,其中,所述每个第一频谱数据组包括的多个距离值相同。
S330,对所述每个第一频谱数据组包括的每个距离值对应的信号强度值进行归一化处理,得到所述每个第一频谱数据组包括的每个距离值对应的归一化信号强度值。
S340,根据所述多个第一频谱数据组中相同距离值对应的归一化信号强度值,确定所述多个第一频谱数据组包括的每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值。
需要说明的是,上述S310~340的实现过程可以参考上述方法200中的相应介绍,为避免重复,此处不再赘述。
S350,根据所述多个第一频谱数据组包括的每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值,确定所述被测对象上的目标障碍物距所述发射原点的距离,所述目标障碍物由至少一个障碍点构成,运动状态不同的障碍点处的信号反射强度不同。
需要说明的是,以身高测量为例,该目标障碍物设置于被测人头顶处,该目标障碍物距该发射原点的距离可以理解为该被测人的身高。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以根据所述多个第一频谱数据组包括的每个距离值对应的信号强度值的方差值和第一方差阈值,确定所述目标障碍物距所述发射原点的距离,所述第一方差阈值是根据构成所述目标障碍物的所述至少一个障碍点处的信号强度确定的。
需要说明的是,以身高测量为例,由于测量准备的时候,用户伸出手掌在头顶处微动,增大了头顶高度对应的range-bin处的方差值。因此,在距离阈值范围内搜索Range-FFT方差曲线谱上值大于等于方差阈值的最远波峰值所对应的距离值,例如图15中的d 0,作为当前瞬时身高值;或方差大于等于该方差阈值的最大距离值,例如图15中的d 1,作为当前瞬时身高值。
需要说明的是,该距离阈值可以考虑设置为高于被测人身高且低于或等于天花板的高度的值,例如2.5m,该方差阈值可以设为能够包含手掌抖动所在高度引起的方差值,例如0.2。
还需要说明,方法300中也可以采用方法200中介绍的提高身高测量的精确度的方法,以及方法200中介绍的判断是否存在满足测量条件的被测对象的方法,为避免重复,此处不再赘述。
图16示出了本申请实施例提供的距离测量方法400的示意性流程图,该方法400可以由图1所示的距离测量装置执行。
S410,接收第一时间段内发射的多个第一雷达信号在第一探测范围内产生的多个第一回波信号。

需要说明的是,上述S410~430的实现过程可以参考上述方法200中的相应介绍,为避免重复,此处不再赘述。
S440,根据所述多个第一频谱数据组中相同距离值对应的归一化信号强度值,确定固定位置的参照物到所述第一发射原点之间的第一距离,所述第一距离大于被测对象到所述第一发射原点之间的距离。
图17示出了所述多个第二频谱数据组中相同距离值对应的归一化信号强度值,即归一化Range-FFT,由于该归一化Rang-FFT上每个range-bin的幅值反映的是障碍点对雷达信号的反射强度,因此,归一化Rang-FFT中幅值大于幅值阈值(幅值阈值例如为0.2)的最远波峰所对应的距离可以被认为是参照物到该第一发射原点之间的第一距离。
需要说明的是,方法S410~S440的实现过程中,测量的是所述参照物距所述第一发射原点之间的第一距离,第一雷达信号的探测方向为由所述第一发射原点至所述参照物。由于该第一距离与被测对象无关,第一雷达信号无需探测被测对象的距离信息,因此,被测对象可以位于距第一雷达信号较远的位置,或者第一雷达信号的探测范围外,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
例如,以身高测量为例,第一距离可以为被测人脚底至天花板之间的距离,第二距离可以为被测人头顶至天花板之间的距离。
S450,根据所述第一距离,确定被测对象距所述第一发射原点的距离。
可选地,在S450之前,可以获取所述参照物至所述被测对象距所述参照物最近的一端之间的第二距离;所述根据所述第一距离,确定被测对象距所述第一发射原点的距离,包括:根据所述第一距离和所述第二距离,确定所述被测对象距所述第一发射原点的距离。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以接收第二时间段内发射的多个第二雷达信号在第二探测范围内产生的多个第二回波信号,所述第二探测范围与所述第一探测范围的探测反向相反;根据所述多个第二回波信号,确定与所述多个第二回波信号对应的多个第二频谱数据组,所述多个第二频谱数据组中的每个第二频谱数据组包括多个第二频谱数据,所述多个第二频谱数据表示所述第二探测范围内的多个障碍点,所述多个第二频谱数据中的每个第二频谱数据包括距离值和信号强度值,所述每个第二频谱数据的距离值用于表示所述每个第二频谱数据所表示的障碍点距所述多个第二雷达信号的第二发射原点的距离,所述每个第二频谱数据的信号强度值用于表示所述每个第二频谱数据所表示的障碍点对所述多个第二雷达发射信号的反射强度,其中,所述每个第二频谱数据组包括的多个距离值相同;对所述每个第二频谱数据组包括的多个距离值中每个距离值对应的信号强度值进行归一化处理,得到所述每个第二频谱数据组包括的多个距离值中每个距离值对应的归一化信号强度值;根据所述多个第二频谱数据组中相同距离值对应的归一化信号强度值,确定所述第二距离。
需要说明的是,第二距离的确定过程与第一距离的确定过程的原理类似,其区别仅在 于,第二距离是参照物到被测对象的距所述参照物最近的一端之间的距离,因此,需要将距离测量装置放置于距所述参照物最近的一端,即第二雷达信号的探测方向与第一雷达信号的探测方向相反,即由距所述参照物最近的一端至所述参照物。
还需要说明,方法400中采用方法200中介绍的提高距离测量的精确度的方法,以及方法200中介绍的判断是否存在满足测量条件的被测对象的方法,为避免重复,此处不再赘述。
