Description
本申请涉及雷达技术领域,特别涉及一种目标检测方法、装置、雷达以及车辆。
车载毫米波雷达(radar)因具有全天候的探测能力,在自动驾驶领域是不可或缺的传感器之一。为了获得高角度分辨率,使用多输入多输出(Multiple Input Multiple Output,MIMO)雷达技术可在天线数有限的情况下获得大的阵列孔径。时分多路复用(Time-Division Multiplexing,TDM)MIMO发射模式具有硬件实现简单、多路接收信号之间互耦效应低等优点,成为车载毫米波MIMO雷达的一个重要研究方向。调频连续波(Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform,FMWC)是TDM-MIMO一种常用的车载雷达发射波形。
车载毫米波雷达可以利用雷达回波的频率信息和相位信息确定目标的距离、速度和角度。在实际道路环境中,由于多个目标具有相同的距离、速度或角度,因而车载毫米波雷达常面临一个信号谱(例如角度谱、测速谱或测距谱)上的多目标检测的应用场景。由于车载毫米波雷达的工作环境中,目标的信号强度的动态范围非常大,容易导致多目标检测过程中出现“强掩弱”问题,即信号强的目标淹没信号弱的目标,导致信号弱的目标无法准确检测。因此亟需一种目标检测方法来解决“强掩弱”的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种目标检测方法,应用于雷达,所述方法包括:
根据该雷达的接收天线的接收信号,获取信号谱;重构该信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,示例的,信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为该信号谱中信号强度最大的目标;在该信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,得到更新后的信号谱,其中,该更新后的信号谱表示不包含该目标的信号谱;在该更新后的信号谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数;根据确定的目标的参数,获取确定的目标的位置信息或速度信息中的至少一种。
本申实施例提供的目标检测方法,通过重构信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,并在信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,从而避免消除的接收信号(强目标信号)对确定信号谱中其他目标(弱目标信号)的参数的干扰,从而减少“强掩弱”问题。尤其在信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为信号谱中信号强度最大的目标时,可以避免信号谱中信号强度最大的目标对其他目标的干扰,有效避免“强掩弱”问题,还可以提高该其他目标的检测精度。
在一种可选方式中,雷达可以预先设置消除条件,在该信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,得到更新后的信号谱的过程可以包括:在确定该信号谱满足消除条件后,在该信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,得到更新后的信号谱,该消除条件包括以下至少一种:

在确定该更新后的信号谱满足消除条件后,重复执行该重构该信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在该更新后的信号谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数,直至更新后的信号谱不满足该消除条件。通过重复执行该重构该信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在该更新后的信号谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数的过程,可以串行识别得到信号谱中的多个信号强度较强的目标,以避免对弱信号目标的干扰。当信号谱不满足消除条件时,再进一步执行信号消除操作容易影响最终检测精度,因此通过设置该消除条件可以避免对检测精度的影响。
在另一种可选方式中,雷达也可以不预先设置消除条件,通过其他方式开始或结束目标检测方法的执行。例如在接收到目标检测指令后,开始执行目标检测方法,如执行重构信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在该信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,得到更新后的信号谱的过程;又例如,在接收到结束检测指令后,停止执行目标检测方法,例如不执行重构信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在该信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,得到更新后的信号谱的过程。
可选地,该在该信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,得到更新后的信号谱的过程,包括:将该信号谱对应的接收信号与该重构的接收信号之差,确定为更新后的信号谱对应信号;根据该更新后的信号谱对应信号确定该更新后的信号谱。

示例的,该预设倍数为该雷达的接收天线的个数的倒数。
可选地,在确定该信号谱根据傅里叶变换算法获取后,重构的接收信号等于比例缩放系数与第一信号谱的傅里叶逆变换的乘积,第一信号谱与该信号谱等长,且该第一信号谱中除与该信号谱的幅度最大值所在点的位置、幅度和相位均相同之外,其他点的值为0。
可选地,该信号谱为角度谱,该目标的参数包括角度;或者,该信号谱为测速谱,该目标的参数包括速度;或者,该信号谱为测距谱,该目标的参数包括距离。
可选地,前述位置信息可以包括在指定三维坐标系(如地球坐标系)中的位置坐标,该速度信息可以包括目标相对于雷达的速度(即目标的相对速度)和/或目标的绝对速度(即目标的实际速度)。例如,雷达可以根据目标与雷达间的距离(即前述通过测距谱获取的角度) 以及目标与雷达间的角度(即前述通过角度谱获取的角度),将目标映射到指定三维空间坐标系中,从而形成雷达点云(Point Cloud),并根据雷达点云确定目标的准确的位置坐标。又例如,雷达可以将前述通过测速谱获取的速度确定为目标相对于雷达的速度,进一步可选地,雷达可以基于自身的速度和目标相对于雷达的速度,确定目标的绝对速度。

为使本申请的原理和技术方案更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
雷达进行多目标检测时,容易出现“强掩弱”问题。请参考图1,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种雷达的目标检测场景的示意图,图1假设雷达所在环境包括车辆和人,其中车辆和人的雷达截面积(Radar Cross Section,RCS)分别为20dBsm(分贝平方米)和0dBsm。在雷达接收的信号不进行加窗处理的情况下,检测得到的车辆对应的信号旁瓣比人对应信号的主瓣还高,如此导致人对应的信号被“掩盖”了。最终雷达识别到车辆,但未识别到人,出现雷达漏检测到人的情况。
在道路环境中的车辆、行人、建筑物都可称为雷达的目标。在高分辨率的雷达中,一个目标(例如一辆车)往往可以被分辨为多个“目标点”,形成“点云”的检测输出。本申请实施例将一个目标和目标点不加区分,统称为目标。
本申请实施例提供一种应用于雷达的目标检测方法,可以解决“强掩弱”的问题。首先,为了便于读者理解,下面对本申请实施例提供的目标检测方法所涉及的雷达进行简单介绍。
可选地,本申请实施例中的雷达为毫米波雷达,毫米波雷达是工作在毫米波波段(millimeter wave)探测的雷达。通常的毫米波是指频域处于30~300GHz(吉赫)的波,其波长为1~10mm(毫米)。由于毫米波的波长介于微波和厘米波之间,因此毫米波雷达兼具了微波雷达和光电雷达的一些优点。
可选地,本申请实施例中的雷达为MIMO雷达,或单输入多输出(Single Input Multiple Output,SIMO)雷达。其中,MIMO雷达指的是具有多个发射天线和多个接收天线的雷达。MIMO雷达可在天线数有限的情况下获得大的阵列孔径。对于一个具有N个发射天线,L个接收天线的MIMO雷达,N和L为大于1的正整数,该MIMO雷达可以形成N×L个虚拟接收天线。每一个虚拟接收天线对应一个虚拟接收通道。
SIMO雷达指的是具有一个发射天线和多个接收天线的雷达。对于一个具有1个发射天线,L个接收天线的SIMO雷达,则一共有L个物理接收天线。每一个物理接收天线对应一个物理接收通道。
为了便于说明,对于MIMO雷达和SIMO雷达,本申请后续实施例中,将虚拟接收天线和物理接收天线统称为接收天线(也称RX天线)。
其中,雷达的发射天线发射电磁波,接收天线接收雷达回波。雷达的发射天线发射的电磁波可以为调频连续波(Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform,FMWC),FMWC是一种车载雷达发射波形,可实现良好的脉冲压缩和较小的中频带宽。本申请实施例中,FMWC信号发射方式可以有多种。示例的,采用TDM、多普勒频分复用(Doppler frequency Division Multiplexing,DDM)或者码分复用(Code Division Multiplexing,CDM)等制式进行发射。可选地,FMWC的发射方式还可以为采用上述三种制式中至少两种制式的复合制式进行发射,例如,该复合制式可以为TDM与DDM的复合制式。
本申请实施例中,FMWC信号的波形也可以有多种。示例的,FMWC信号为一非平稳信号,其包括多个Chirp(啁啾)信号。Chirp信号,是指对脉冲进行编码时,其载频在脉冲持续时间内线性增加的一种信号。
例如,如图2所示,图2为一种示意性的FMWC信号的帧结构的示意图。图2中横轴表示时间,纵轴表示频率。对于一个具有N个发射天线的TDM-MIMO雷达,在一个发送周期内,N个发射天线分别发送一个chirp信号,N为正整数。则FMWC信号的一帧(frame)信号(也称一个信号帧)包括多个(例如64、128或256个)发送周期的Chirp信号,每个发送周期的Chirp信号包括N个Chirp信号。
图2只是一种TDM-MIMO雷达的FMWC信号的示意性的帧结构,本申请实施例在实际实现时,发射天线发射的FMWC信号还可以在图2的基础上进行变形。可选地,每个发射天线发送的FMCW信号可在指定信号域(或称信号维度)产生移位,例如在频域产生频移,或在时域产生时移;或者,改变FMCW信号中信号的斜率。本申请实施例对FMWC信号的帧结构不做限定。
如图3所示,图3为本申请实施例提供的一种目标检测方法的流程示意图,该目标指的是雷达所需检测的对象,该方法包括:
S301、通过雷达的发射天线发射信号。
如前所述,雷达可以为MIMO雷达或SIMO雷达,雷达通过其发射天线发射信号,该发射信号可以为FMWC信号。示例的,其帧结构可以如图2所示。对于每个发射天线发射的信号,雷达的接收天线接收信号并进行信号处理的过程相同,因此,本申请后续实施例以雷达针对一个发射天线发射的信号进行信号接收以及处理流程为例进行说明,若雷达包括多个发射天线,雷达针对每个发射天线的信号进行信号接收以及处理流程均可以参考后续过程。
S302、根据雷达的接收天线的接收信号,获取信号谱。
如图4所示,对于一个具有L个接收天线的雷达,若发射端发送一个chirp信号,则接收端的每个接收天线接收一个chirp信号,因此接收的雷达回波为L个chirp信号。图4中假设发射端发送的一个chirp信号的标识为chirp信号Tx0,对应的序号为1,该序号指示chirp信号在一帧信号中的排序,该chirp信号Tx0的波形可以参考图2中的一个chirp信号的波形,则在雷达的接收端,即L个接收天线共接收到L个chirp信号Tx0,对应的序号为1。
雷达通过接收天线接收的初始信号为模拟信号,雷达可以通过将接收的信号进行模数转换,得到数字信号,将该数字信号作为接收信号,该模数转换过程可以为在时域进行信号采样的过程。示例的,雷达对每个信号帧进行连续采样得到多个采样点,得到每个信号帧的数字信号。其中,每个信号帧的长度可以与发送端的信号帧的长度相等,例如为64、128或256个发送周期的Chirp信号的长度。可选地,前述模数转换过程可以由雷达中的模数转换电路(Analog-to-Digital Converter,ADC)执行。
雷达在获取接收信号后,需要对接收信号进行目标的参数的估计,该目标的参数可以为角度、速度或距离,按照进行估计的目标的参数的不同,接收端所获取的信号谱分为角度谱、 测速谱和测距谱等几种,获取的方式分别如下:
第一种获取方式,若需要获取测距谱,则对于每个接收天线获取的数字信号,执行测距运算得到雷达的发射天线对应的测距谱。可选地,接收天线接收的每一个chirp信号对应一个测距谱。示例的,测距运算为对一个chirp信号执行距离维快速傅里叶变换(Fast Fourier Transform,FFT),也称Range FFT。快速傅里叶变换是离散傅氏变换(Discrete Fourier Transform,DFT)的快速算法,离散傅里叶变换是傅里叶变换在时域和频域上都呈现离散的形式,用于将时域信号的采样变换为在离散时间傅里叶变换(Discrete-time Fourier Transform,DTFT)频域的采样。快速傅里叶变换的基本思想是把原始的多点序列,依次分解成一系列的短序列。
如图5所示,假设一个信号帧包括S个Chirp信号Tx0,S为大于1的整数,其通常为2的整数次幂,假设对于每个接收天线获取的一个Chirp信号Tx0,对应的数字信号包括M个采样点的采样值,则快速傅里叶变换的结果为M个数据,那么可以将这M个数据称为M个距离单元(也称距离门),距离单元用于反映距离上的采样间隔,M个距离单元与M个距离一一对应,图5中竖直方向所在维度即为快时间维。该M个距离单元对应的信号谱即为测距谱。
第二种获取方式,若需要获取测速谱,则在获取测距谱后,将同一个发射天线发送的各个chirp信号对应的测距谱按照距离参数对齐后,进行测速运算,得到各个距离对应的测速谱(多普勒谱)。示例的,该测速运算为测速慢时间维FFT(slow-FFT)运算。值得说明的是,该测速运算还可以为其他运算,本申请实施例对测速运算的具体算法不做限定。
其中,将同一个发射天线发送的各个chirp信号对应的测距谱按照距离参数对齐后指的是将同一个发射天线发送的各个chirp信号对应的测距谱的坐标系对应重叠,也即是横轴以及纵轴分别重合,从而使得原点重合,该原点对应的距离为0。例如,参考图5,对于每个接收天线接收的某一发射天线在X个发送周期中发射的序号为1的chirp信号Tx0,雷达将获取的X个序号为1的chirp信号Tx0的测距谱的坐标系对应重叠,相应的,X个序号为1的chirp信号Tx0的测距谱的M个距离单元分别对齐,得到了序号为1的chirp信号Tx0对应的距离参数对齐的测距谱。示例的,X=100,M=1000,则序号为1的chirp信号Tx0对应的距离参数对齐的测距谱为100组1000个距离单元的原点对齐的测距谱。
如图6所示,对于一个信号帧长度的chirp信号,即S个chirp信号,各个chirp信号对应的测距谱按照距离参数对齐后如图6中的对应列所示,一列表示一个chirp信号Tx0对应的距离参数对齐的测距谱,以序号为1的chirp信号对应的距离参数对齐的测距谱为例(即图6中最左侧的一列),该距离参数对齐的测距谱包括M个距离单元,每个距离单元由X个测距谱的距离单元对齐得到,M个距离单元与M个距离一一对应。图6中,水平方向所在维度即为慢时间维。同一个距离单元上分别属于每个测距谱的采样点称为慢时间采样点或多普勒采样点。
示例的,对图6所示的距离参数对齐的测距谱进行测速慢时间维FFT(slow-FFT)运算得到的测速谱可以如图7右侧所示,M个距离单元与M个测速谱一一对应,每一个测速谱可以由图7右侧的一行数据表示。
第三种获取方式,若需要获取角度谱,则在获取各个距离对应的测速谱后,分别执行以下过程:
A1、根据该各个距离与测速谱的对应关系,确定距离-多谱勒图(Range-Dopplermap,简 称RD图),每一个接收天线对应一个RD图。
A2、对于RD图执行检测算法,得到RD图上的目标RD单元(RD cell)。
其中,目标RD单元为目标所对应的RD单元,也即是该RD单元反映了存在的目标。检测算法用于检测RD图上的目标,该检测算法可以为恒虚警率(Constant False Alarm Rate,CFAR)算法。CFAR算法指的是在信号检测过程中,当外界干扰强度变化时,雷达通过自动调整其灵敏度,使雷达的虚警概率保持不变的算法。
对RD图执行检测算法的方式可以有多种,本申请实施例以以下两种可选方式为例进行说明:
在第一种可选方式中,对于每个接收天线对应的RD图,分别执行检测算法,得到每个RD图上的目标RD单元。
在第二种可选方式中,将各个接收天线的RD图叠加得到一个RD图,对叠加后的RD图执行检测算法,得到该RD图上的目标RD单元。
示例的,假设雷达有L个接收天线,将该L个接收天线的RD图中,同一个RD单元的幅度直接叠加,得到一个叠加后的RD图。通过对叠加后的RD图执行检测算法,可以减少检测算法执行的次数,提高回波信号的信噪比(signal-to-noiseratio,SNR)。值得说明的是,同一个RD单元指的是RD图中处于相同位置的RD单元。
如图7所示,图7右侧的方格图为一示意性的RD图,该RD图的纵坐标表示距离,横坐标表示速度,M个距离单元分别对应M个不同的距离。图7中每一个方格即为一个RD单元。可选地,在RD图中,每个RD单元可以采用一个RD序号来唯一指示。例如一个RD序号可以包括一个测速谱序号和一个距离序号。如图8所示,图8是图7右侧所示的RD图的具体示意图,示例的,图8中纵坐标表示距离序号,横坐标表示测速谱序号(或称多普勒序号),假设每个RD单元的RD序号表示为(x,y),其中,横坐标值x为一个测速谱序号,用于标识一个测速谱;纵坐标值y为一个距离序号,用于标识一个距离,也即是前述的一个距离单元。图8中假设黑色圆点所在RD单元对应一个目标,即为目标RD单元,对其进行CFAR检测后,得到目标RD单元的RD序号为(x1,y1),表示测速谱序号为x1,距离序号为y1。
A3、对于所有接收天线的同一个目标RD单元,执行角度估计算法,得到角度谱。也即是一个角度谱与所有接收天线的同一个目标RD单元对应。
其中,对于所有接收天线的同一个目标RD单元,执行角度估计算法指的是:根据所有接收天线的同一目标RD单元对应距离以及测速谱,执行角度估计算法。参考图8,可以采用所有接收天线的同一目标RD单元对应的距离序号和多普勒序号,执行角度估计算法。示例的,角度估计算法为到达角(Angle of Arrival,AOA)估计算法,也称到达方向(Direction of Arrival,DOA)估计算法,相应的角度谱也称AOA谱。例如,前述AOA估计算法可以是数字波束赋形(Digital beam-forming,DBF)算法、FFT算法或DFT算法等。AOA估计算法针对的信号是各个接收天线的同一个RD单元构成的信号矢量。
可选地,对于TDM-MIMO雷达,对于所有接收天线的同一个目标RD单元,执行角度估计算法,得到角度谱之前,由于各个发射天线的发送时刻不同,需要先根据各个发射天线的发送间隔,对各个接收天线接收的RD单元进行Doppler相位补偿,以消除各个发射天线的发送时刻不同带来的Doppler相位偏差。
图9是本申请实施例提供的一种AOA谱示意图。该AOA谱的横轴表示角度,单位为度,纵轴表示幅度(amplitude),也称振幅,单位为dB(分贝)。图9示意性地示出一个弱信号目标(0°位置处的目标)被一个强信号目标(12.5°位置处的目标)的旁瓣所淹没的场景。
S303、根据信号谱确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数。
本申请实施例中,目标的信号强度可以有多种表示方式,在一种可选方式中,目标的信号强度可以由信号谱中信号的幅度表示;在另一种可选方式中,目标的信号强度可以由信号谱中信号的幅度的平方表示。目标的信号强度还可以有其他的表示方式,任何在本申请的基础上所进行的简单变换或等同修改,均应包含在本申请的保护范围内,因此不再赘述。
在本申请实施例中,信号强度阈值可以是固定值,也可以是可变值。若该信号强度阈值为固定值,该信号强度阈值可以根据雷达的目标识别方法的应用场景设置,例如,雷达附近的环境中存在一个或多个信号强度较大的已知目标,而该已知目标为无需识别的目标,其对需要识别的目标产生了干扰,则可以基于该已知目标对应的信号强度设置信号强度阈值,以在后续过程中,在信号谱中消除该已知目标。若该信号强度阈值为可变值,该信号强度阈值也可以根据雷达的目标识别方法的应用场景动态设置,例如,该信号强度阈值R满足信号强度设置公式:R=E-T,其中,E为当前的信号谱中最大信号强度值,T为预设强度值。该最大信号强度值M随着信号谱的更新而更新。
可选地,雷达根据信号谱中的大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号确定目标的参数。示例的,信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为该信号谱中信号强度最大的目标,也即是前述信号强度设置公式满足:R=E,即T=0。
在本申请实施例中,雷达可以执行一次或多次目标检测流程,每次目标检测流程用于识别信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标,示例的,当信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为该信号谱中信号强度最大的目标时,每次目标识别流程默认存在一个目标或不存在目标。因此若检测得到目标,则继续识别出一个目标对应的接收信号。
对于不同信号谱,估计得到的目标的参数可以通过多种方式表示。例如,对于测距谱,估计得到的目标的参数为距离,其由测距谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应距离值表示,当测距谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为该测距谱中信号强度最大的目标时,目标的参数由测距谱中幅度最大处的距离值表示;对于测速谱,估计得到的目标的参数为速度,其由大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应速度值表示,当测速谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为该测速谱中信号强度最大的目标时,目标的参数由测速谱中幅度最大处的速度值表示;对于角度谱,估计得到的目标的参数为角度,其由角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应角度值表示,当角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为该角度谱中信号强度最大的目标时,目标的参数由角度谱中幅度最大处的角度值表示。如图9所示,当角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为该角度谱中信号强度最大的目标时,在第一次目标检测流程中,雷达输出的角度值为12.5°;在第二次目标检测流程中,雷达输出的角度值为0°。
雷达在确定了目标的参数之后,可以输出检测结果,该检测结果包括目标对应的距离、速度和/或角度。
S304、重构信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号。
为了便于读者理解,下面对本申请实施例进行目标识别的原理进行简单说明。假设雷达 (如MIMO雷达或SIMO雷达)一共有L个接收天线,对于L个接收天线对应的同一个目标RD单元,K个目标的在L个接收天线的接收信号,也即是该目标RD单元对应的接收信号可以表示为:
其中,L≥1,K≥1,a
i表示第i个目标的幅度,1≤i≤K,d=[d
1d
2d
3…d
L]
T是接收天线的位置矢量,即接收天线所组成的天线阵列中各个阵元的位置,其元素d
p,p=1,2,…,L表示第p个接收天线的位置。θ
i表示第i个目标的角度,如AOA,φ
i表示第i个目标的初始相位(也称初相),符号T表示求矢量转置。
表示第i个目标对应的导向矢量(steering vector),例如,
表示第1个目标对应的导向矢量。
或者,对于L个接收天线的同一个目标RD单元,K个目标的在L个接收天线的接收信号可以为:
其中,L≥1,K≥1,a
i表示第i个目标的幅度,1≤i≤K,d=[d
1d
2d
3…d
L]
T是接收天线的位置矢量,其元素d
p,p=1,2,…,L表示第p个接收天线的位置。θ
i表示第i个目标的角度,如AOA,φ
i表示第i个目标的初始相位,符号T表示矢量转置。
表示第i个目标对应的导向矢量,例如,
表示第1个目标对应的导向矢量。
在进行角度谱的获取过程中,需要根据L个接收天线在同一个时刻的采样点的相位的规律来获取各个接收天线对应的角度,导向矢量用于描述L个接收天线在同一个时刻的采样点的相位的规律,一个导向矢量中的每个元素表示同一时刻的一个天线对应的一个采样点的相位。
本申请实施例中,雷达的接收天线所组成的天线阵列可以为非均匀天线阵列,如稀疏阵列(sparse array)。雷达的接收天线所组成的天线阵列还可以为均匀线性阵列(Uniform Linear Array,ULA)。以雷达的接收天组成的天线阵列为ULA为例,前述公式一和公式二中,d可表示为矢量:[0 d
02d
0…(L-1)d
0]
T,
?是信号波长,q是预设的比例缩放系数,L是雷达的接收天线的个数,如SIMO雷达中物理接收天线或MIMO雷达中虚拟接收天线的个数。其中,该信号波长指的是发射天线发射的信号的波长。q用于调整视场角,示例的,0.9≤q≤1.1,通常q=1。
由上述公式一或公式二可知,对于L个接收天线的同一个目标RD单元,K个目标的在L个接收天线的接收信号可以表示为K个目标对应的接收信号之和,同理的,测速谱和测距谱也可以表示为K个目标对应的接收信号之和。如果一个第一目标对应的接收信号的强度较高,影响了雷达对第二目标对应的接收信号的识别,也即出现了“强掩弱”的问题,可以通过重构该第一目标对应的接收信号,并从接收信号中消除该第一目标对应的接收信号,从而避免对第二目标对应的接收信号的干扰。若雷达的可识别范围内存在多个目标,可以执行一次或多次目标识别流程,每次目标识别流程识别得到大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,例如一个信号强度最大的目标对应的接收信号,并将该识别得到的接收信号从信号谱对应的接收信号中消除,从而完成多个目标的精准识别。该过程可以称为串行干扰消除 过程。
本申请实施例在实际实现时,需要重构信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以对重构的接收信号进行消除。该重构大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的接收信号的过程包括:
由于雷达可以在信号谱中确定出大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数,则可以根据信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数,确定信号谱的其他参数,该其他参数包括:信号谱中目标对应的幅度值、该幅度值对应的序号和该幅度值对应的相位中的一种或多种,该其他参数为重构大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号所需的参数;雷达获取了信号谱的其他参数后,可以根据信号谱的其他参数,重构目标对应的接收信号。
示例的,信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为信号谱中信号强度最大的目标时,重构的接收信号y
A对应的其他参数包括信号谱的幅度最大值A、幅度最大值A对应的序号和幅度最大值A对应的相位
中的一种或多种。
S305、在信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,得到更新后的信号谱,其中,该更新后的信号谱表示不包含前述目标的信号谱。
需要说明的是,该更新后的信号谱所不包含的目标指的是前述S303中根据信号谱确定的大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标。该目标通过后续的信号消除操作从信号谱中消除。
示例的,雷达可以预先设置消除条件,当信号谱满足消除条件,在信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,得到更新后的信号谱。该消除条件包括以下至少一种:
信号谱中的大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的幅度小于幅度阈值;
信号谱中的大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的峰均比小于峰均比阈值;
以及,在获取信号谱后执行消除重构的接收信号的次数小于次数阈值。
其中,该幅度阈值、峰均比阈值和次数阈值均可以为预先设置的阈值,幅度阈值可以为雷达可检测到的最小物体所对应的幅度值,其与雷达的检测精度相关。
值得说明的是,当信号谱不满足消除条件,可以不执行信号消除操作,停止动作,该信号消除操作为将识别得到的大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号从信号谱对应的接收信号中消除的操作。例如,消除条件包括信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的幅度小于幅度阈值,则信号谱不满足消除条件说明信号谱中不存在幅度小于幅度阈值的信号;消除条件包括信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的峰均比小于峰均比阈值,则信号谱不满足消除条件说明信号谱中不存在峰均比小于峰均比阈值的信号;消除条件包括在获取信号谱后执行消除重构的接收信号的次数小于次数阈值,则信号谱不满足消除条件说明消除重构的接收信号的次数达到了次数上限。当信号谱不满足消除条件时,再进一步执行信号消除操作容易影响最终检测精度,因此通过设置该消除条件可以避免对检测精度的影响。需要说明的是,雷达可以在指定存储空间设置消除重构的接收信号的次数的计数器,在首次获取信号谱后,可以将消除重构的接收信号的次数初始化为0,在每执行一次消除重构的接收信号后,更新一次消除重构的接收信号的次数,雷达在检测信号谱是否达到消除条件时,在该指定存储空间获取该次数。
在S305中,雷达可以将信号谱对应的接收信号与重构的接收信号之差,确定为更新后的信号谱对应信号;并根据更新后的信号谱对应信号确定更新后的信号谱。该过程可以包括:
B1、获取信号谱F对应的接收信号y。
信号谱F是由雷达获取的接收信号处理得到的,当该信号谱是雷达根据接收天线所接收的信号处理得到的,则信号谱F对应的接收信号y为对接收的初始信号经过处理得到的描述该信号谱的接收信号,即未经过信号消除操作的初始接收信号;当该信号谱F是由该初始接收信号经过至少一次信号消除操作得到的中间信号,则信号谱F对应的接收信号为该中间信号。
可选地,当信号谱F对应的接收信号为初始信号处理得到的接收信号y,在雷达执行步骤301和302后,雷达可以存储该接收信号y,在执行B1时,直接获取存储的接收信号y。
当信号谱F对应的接收信号为中间信号y,雷达可以在每执行一次信号消除操作后记录得到的中间信号,在再次执行B1时,直接获取存储的中间信号y。
B2、将信号谱F对应的接收信号y与重构的接收信号y
A之差,确定为更新后的信号谱对应信号。
如S304所述,雷达根据确定的信号谱的其他参数,重构的接收信号y
A,将信号谱F对应的接收信号y与重构的接收信号y
A做差,即可得到更新后的信号谱对应信号。
B3、根据更新后的信号谱对应信号确定更新后的信号谱。
雷达在获取了更新后的信号谱所对应的接收信号后,可以通过对该信号进行处理得到更新后的信号谱。该获取更新后的信号的过程可以参考前述S302中根据雷达的接收天线的接收信号,获取信号谱的过程,示例的,假设信号谱对应的接收信号为第一信号,更新后的信号谱对应的接收信号为第二信号,则信号谱和更新后的信号谱是对第一信号和第二信号分采用相同的处理流程处理得到的,第一信号和第二信号属于相同的信号域。本申请实施例对此不做赘述。
S306、在更新后的信号谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数。
可选地,雷达根据更新后的信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标确定该目标的参数,可选地,信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为该信号谱中信号强度最大的目标。对应于测距谱、测速谱和角度谱,目标的参数分别为目标的距离、速度和角度。该确定信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数的过程可以参考前述S303,本申请实施例对此不做赘述。
S307、重复执行重构信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在更新后的信号谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数。
可选地,当更新后的信号谱满足消除条件,重复执行重构信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在更新后的信号谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数过程,直至更新后的信号谱不满足消除条件。也即是,当更新后的信号谱满足消除条件,重复S304至S305(即前述目标识别流程)的过程,直至更新后的信号谱不满足消除条件,停止动作。
S308、根据确定的目标的参数,获取确定的目标的位置信息或速度信息中的至少一种。
雷达在获取目标的参数后,可以根据获取的参数,确定目标的位置信息或速度信息中的至少一种。目标的参数包括:角度、速度或距离中的至少一种。该位置信息可以包括在指定三维坐标系(如地球坐标系)中的位置坐标,该速度信息可以包括目标相对于雷达的速度(即目标的相对速度)和/或目标的绝对速度(即目标的实际速度)。例如,雷达可以根据目标与雷达间的距离(即前述通过测距谱获取的角度)以及目标与雷达间的角度(即前述通过角度 谱获取的角度),将目标映射到指定三维空间坐标系中,从而形成雷达点云(Point Cloud),并根据雷达点云确定目标的准确的位置坐标。
值得说明的是,在S304之前,雷达还可以检测信号谱是否达到消除条件;当信号谱未达到消除条件,说明信号谱中不存在目标,停止动作,即停止执行S304;当信号谱达到消除条件,执行S304。如此可以减少不必要的计算流程。
需要说明的是,前述实施例以雷达预先设置消除条件为例对雷达执行的目标检测方法进行说明,本申请实施例在实际实现时,雷达也可以不预先设置消除条件,通过其他方式开始或结束目标检测方法的执行。例如在接收到目标检测指令后,开始执行目标检测方法,如执行S301至S308中的一步或多步;又例如,在接收到结束检测指令后,停止执行目标检测方法,例如不执行信号消除操作,停止动作。
并且,本申请实施例提供的网络编码方法步骤的先后顺序可以进行适当调整,步骤也可以根据情况进行相应增减,例如,S303和S306中由于信号谱不同,相应确定的目标也不同。如303所述,S303和S306的信号强度阈值可以相同也可以不同。在本申请实施例中,可以在每确定一个大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标之后,确定该一个目标的参数,也即是前述S303和S306先后执行;也可以在确定所有目标之后,获取确定的各个目标的参数,也即是前述S303和S306在雷达检测到信号谱达到消除条件后再同时或分别执行。任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化的方法,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内,因此不再赘述。
综上所述,本申实施例提供的目标检测方法,通过重构信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,并在信号谱上消除重构的接收信号,从而避免消除的接收信号(强目标信号)对确定信号谱中其他目标(弱目标信号)的参数的干扰,从而减少“强掩弱”问题。尤其在信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为信号谱中信号强度最大的目标时,可以避免信号谱中信号强度最大的目标对其他目标的干扰,有效避免“强掩弱”问题,还可以提高该其他目标的检测精度。
在本申请实施例中,如S302所述,信号谱可以有多种获取方式,例如根据DBF算法获取,或根据傅里叶变换算法获取。对于不同的获取方式获取的信号谱,前述S304中信号重构的方式也不同。本申请实施例以信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为信号谱中信号强度最大的目标为例,采用以下几种可选示例进行说明:
在一种可选示例中,在确定信号谱根据DBF算法获取后,重构的接收信号的每个元素的幅度等于信号谱的幅度最大值的预设倍数,重构的接收信号的初始相位等于幅度最大值对应的相位。则,假设前述公式一或公式二中的信号强度最大的目标为第1个目标,该第1个目标的幅度a
1满足:
a
1=βA;(公式三)
其中,A为信号谱F的幅度最大值,β是一个预设值。
对于DBF算法,β满足:β=1/L,
表示信号强度最大的目标在各个接收天线的初始相位,由于DBF算法不会改变输出信号谱的群时延,因而
等于信号谱F的幅度最大处的相位,即幅度最大值A对应的相位,F(A)表示信号谱F中信号强度最大的目标,则
f
A表示发射信号的频率,t表示时间。
在另一种可选示例中,在确定信号谱根据傅里叶变换算法获取后,重构的接收信号y
A等于比例缩放系数α与第一信号谱
的傅里叶逆变换的乘积,第一信号谱
与所述信号谱F等长,且第一信号谱
中除与信号谱F的幅度最大值所在点的位置、幅度和相位均相同之外,其他点的值为0。其中,第一信号谱
与信号谱F等长指的是第一信号谱
与信号谱F在傅里叶变换所对应的信号域等长。
其中,傅里叶变换算法可以为FFT算法或DFT算法。相应的,傅里叶变换算法为FFT算法时,傅里叶逆变换为逆离散傅里叶变换(Inverse Fast Fourier Transform,IFFT);傅里叶变换算法为DFT算法时,傅里叶逆变换为逆离散傅里叶变换(Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform,IDFT)。则本申请实施例分别以以下两方面进行说明:
第一方面,在确定信号谱根据FFT算法获取后,重构的接收信号y
A等于比例缩放系数α与第一信号谱
的IFFT的乘积,第一信号谱
与信号谱F等长,且第一信号谱
中除与信号谱F的幅度最大值所在点的位置、幅度和相位均相同之外,其他点的值为0。
例如,重构的接收信号y
A表示为:
第二方面,在确定信号谱根据DFT算法获取后,重构的接收信号y
A等于比例缩放系数α与第一信号谱
的IDFT的乘积,第一信号谱
与信号谱F等长,且第一信号谱
中除与信号谱F的幅度最大值所在点的位置、幅度和相位均相同之外,其他点的值为0。
例如,重构的接收信号y
A表示为:
进一步的,如前所述,信号谱可以为角度谱、测速谱或测距谱。对于不同的信号谱,目标检测方法的流程也不相同,本申请实施例分别以信号谱为角度谱或测距谱为例,以以下两种可选实施方式分别对目标检测方法进行说明:
在第一种可选实现方式中,信号谱为角度谱,如图10所示,该目标检测方法包括:
S401、通过雷达的发射天线发射信号。
S401可以参考前述S301,本申请实施例对此不做赘述。
S402、根据雷达的接收天线的接收信号,获取角度谱。
S402中获取角度谱的过程可以参考前述S302。
S403、根据角度谱确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的角度。
对于角度谱,目标的参数为角度,当角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为角度谱中信号强度最大的目标时,由于角度谱中的信号强度最大处的幅度也最大,因此,信号强度最大处的角度θ
A也等于角度谱中幅度最大值处的角度,可以由角度谱中幅度最大处的角度值表示。雷达在确定了大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的角度之后,可以输出检测结果来指示目标的角度,例如,该检测结果包括幅度最大处的角度值。
S404、重构信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号。
假设针对雷达的天线阵列确定的同一个目标RD单元对应的接收信号y,执行角度估计算 法,得到的角度谱为复数谱S(θ)=Τ(y),其中,Τ(·)表示针对信号y用于求角度谱的运算函数或变换,也即是前述角度估计算法,其可以是DBF算法、DFT或FFT算法等。其中,通过该角度估计算法估算得到的大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的参数为角度。示例的,假设通过角度估计算法估算得到的信号强度最大的目标(也即是本申请实施例中的重构的接收信号对应的目标)的角度为θ
A。则雷达可以通过该角度θ
A来重构大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号。
如前述S303所述,每个接收天线对应一个RD图,L个接收天线的同一个RD单元对应一个角度谱。在本申请实施例中,对于每个角度谱,大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号的重构方式相同,本申请后续实施例以一个角度谱的接收信号的重构方式为例进行说明,其他角度谱的重构方式参考该一个角度谱中接收信号的重构方式。下面,本申请实施例以以下几种示例为例进行说明:
在第一种可选示例中,在确定角度估计算法为DBF算法后,获取的角度谱F可表示为:S(θ)=y
Ha(θ)。其中,y表示雷达获取的信号。当该信号谱是雷达根据接收天线所接收的初始信号处理得到的,则信号谱F对应的接收信号y为对接收的初始信号经过处理得到的描述该信号谱的接收信号,即未经过信号消除操作的初始接收信号;当该角度谱F是由该初始接收信号经过至少一次信号消除操作得到的中间信号,则y为该中间信号,H表示共轭转置,
表示角度谱F的相位,如S402,d=[d
1d
2d
3…d
L]
T是接收天线的位置矢量。
示例的,雷达根据角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的角度,确定角度谱的其他参数,该其他参数包括:角度谱中目标对应的幅度值和幅度值对应的相位;并根据角度谱的其他参数,重构目标对应的接收信号。
例如,当角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为角度谱中信号强度最大的目标时,对于角度谱中的信号强度最大的目标,采用前述公式三,可以将该目标对应的接收信号重构为:
其中,d=[d
1d
2d
3…d
L]
T是接收天线的位置矢量,λ是信号波长。
其中,θ
A为角度谱S(θ)的信号强度最大的目标对应的角度,A为复数谱S(θ)的幅度|S(θ)|的幅度最大值,也即是A=|S(θ

S407、重复执行重构角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在更新后的角度谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的角度的过程。
在确定更新后的角度谱满足消除条件后,重复执行重构角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在更新后的角度谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的角度的过程,直至更新后的角度谱不满足消除条件。也即是,在确定更新后的角度谱满足消除条件后,重复S404至S405的过程,直至更新后的角度谱不满足消除条件,停止动作。S407可以参考前述S307,本申请实施例对此不做赘述。
S408、根据确定的目标的角度,获取确定的目标的位置信息。
雷达在获取目标的角度后,可以根据获取的角度,确定目标的位置信息。该位置信息可以包括在指定三维坐标系中的位置坐标。例如,雷达可以根据目标与雷达间的距离以及目标与雷达间的角度(即前述通过角度谱获取的角度),将目标映射到指定三维空间坐标系中,从而形成雷达点云,并根据雷达点云确定目标的准确的位置坐标。
综上所述,本申实施例提供的目标检测方法,通过重构角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,并在角度谱上消除重构的接收信号,从而避免消除的接收信号对确定角度谱中其他目标的干扰,从而减少“强掩弱”问题,即不仅可使弱目标信号容易被检测出来,而且避免了强目标信号的旁瓣对弱目标的影响,提高了弱目标的检测精度。尤其在 角度谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为角度谱中信号强度最大的目标时,可以避免角度谱中信号强度最大的目标(强信号目标)对其他目标(弱信号目标)的干扰,有效避免“强掩弱”问题,还可以提高该其他目标的检测精度。

S503、根据测速谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的速度。
对于测速谱,目标的参数为速度,当测速谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为测速谱中信号强度最大的目标时,由于测速谱中的信号强度最大处的幅度也最大,因此,信号强度最大处的速度也等于测速谱中幅度最大值处的速度,可以由测速谱中幅度最大处的速度值表示。雷达在确定了大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的速度之后,可以输出检测结果来指示目标的速度,该例如,检测结果包括幅度最大处的速度值。

示例的,对于一个距离为R
0的目标,其径向速度(即朝向雷达移动的速度)为v,FMWC信号包括多个chirp信号,对于一个发送天线发送的信号,雷达进行信号获取和处理后,与该目标对应的慢时间数据序列,也即是测速谱可近似表示为:
其中,A是目标的幅度,该幅度为测速谱中最大的幅度,m是慢时间维中chirp信号的序号,T是一个chirp信号的持续时长,也称周期,exp()表示以自然常数e为底的指数函数。
以MIMO雷达为例,如果同一个发送天线发送均匀时间间隔的chirp信号序列,对于一个发送天线发送的信号,m是以Y为间隔的等差数列,Y表示发送时间间隔所对应的序列号差值,例如,Y=4,m是[1,5,9,…]等两两间隔Y的值构成的矢量。如果同一个发送天线发送不均匀时间间隔的chirp信号序列,即MIMO雷达的同一个发送天线的实际发送时序存在变化,例如m取值为[1,3,4,7,8,10…]的矢量。
参考前述公式四,可以将m更新为以1为间隔的等差数列,也即是m是[1,2,3,…]等两两间隔1的值构成的矢量,在保持原y(m)的采样点的值基础上,将y(m)更新为非原m的序号对应的采样点的值为0,更新后的y(m)与原y(m)等长。值得说明的是,当测速谱是采用慢时间维FFT算法获取时,更新后的y(m)与原y(m)等长指的是两者在慢时间维等长。
最终,重构的接收信号y
A表示为:
S504中的过程可以参考前述S304,本申请实施例对此不做赘述。
S505、在测速谱上消除重构的接收信号,得到更新后的测速谱,其中,该更新后的测速谱表示不包含前述目标的测速谱。
S505中的过程可以参考前述S305,本申请实施例对此不做赘述。
S506、在更新后的角度谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的角度。

S507、重复执行重构测速谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在更新后的测速谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的角度的过程。
在确定更新后的测速谱满足消除条件后,重复执行重构测速谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,以及在更新后的测速谱中确定大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标的角度的过程,直至更新后的测速谱不满足消除条件。也即是,在确定更新后的测速谱满足消除条件后,重复S504至S505的过程,直至更新后的测速谱不满足消除条件,停止动作。S507可以参考前述S307,本申请实施例对此不做赘述。
S508、根据获取的目标的参数,确定目标的速度信息。
雷达在获取目标的速度后,可以根据获取的速度,确定目标的速度信息。该速度信息可以包括目标相对于雷达的速度和/或目标的绝对速度。例如,雷达可以将前述通过测速谱获取的速度确定为目标相对于雷达的速度,进一步可选地,雷达可以基于自身的速度和目标相对于雷达的速度,确定目标的绝对速度。
综上所述,本申实施例提供的目标检测方法,通过重构测速谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标对应的接收信号,并在测速谱上消除重构的接收信号,从而避免消除的接收信号对确定测速谱中其他目标的参数的干扰,从而减少“强掩弱”问题。尤其在测速谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为测速谱中信号强度最大的目标时,可以避免测速谱中信号强度最大的目标(强信号目标)对其他目标(弱信号目标)的干扰,有效避免“强掩弱”问题,还可以提高该其他目标的检测精度。
为了便于读者理解,本申请实施例下面对一种示意性的目标检测方法的实际实现过程进行说明,假设信号谱为经过FFT算法得到的AOA谱,信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为信号谱中信号强度最大的目标,该目标检测方法包括:
C1、雷达通过雷达的发射天线发射信号后,根据雷达的接收天线获取接收信号y;
C2、根据接收信号y,经过FFT算法得到AOA谱;
C3、根据AOA谱确定信号强度最大的目标的角度;
C4、根据信号强度最大的目标的角度,获取该AOA谱的最大幅度A,并记录该最大幅度A在AOA谱中对应的序号;
C5、根据最大幅度A和记录的序号,重构信号强度最大的目标的接收信号y
A;
C6、更新AOA谱对应的接收信号y,使得更新后的接收信号y=y-y
A;
C7、根据更新后的接收信号y获取更新后的AOA谱;
C8、根据更新后的AOA谱确定信号强度最大的目标的角度;
C9、检测更新后的AOA谱是否达到消除条件;
C10、当更新后的AOA谱未达到消除条件,停止动作;当更新后的AOA谱达到消除条件,重复执行C4至C10的过程直至更新后的AOA谱未达到消除条件,停止动作。
值得说明的是,前述流程C3和流程C8所述的目标是不同的目标,在流程C3之前,雷达还可以检测AOA谱是否达到消除条件;当AOA谱未达到消除条件,说明AOA谱中不存 在目标,停止动作,即停止执行流程C3;当AOA谱达到消除条件,执行流程C3。
前述重复执行C4至C10的过程是接收信号y的迭代过程,采用迭代的方式,通过信号消除操作(参考C6和C7)消除测速谱中信号强度最大的目标对应的接收信号,从而避免了消除的信号(强目标信号)对确定指示另一目标(弱目标信号)的信号干扰,从而减少“强掩弱”问题,并且提高了弱目标信号的检测精度。
需要说明的是,本申请前述实施例主要以信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标为信号谱中信号强度最大的目标为例对目标检测方法进行说明,实际实现时,在确定信号谱中大于或等于信号强度阈值的目标不仅包括信号谱中信号强度最大的目标,还包括其他目标的情况下,其他目标的处理方式参考该信号强度最大的目标的处理方式,例如目标对应的接收信号的重构方式以及从信号谱对应的接收信号中消除该目标对应的接收信号的方式均可以参考该信号强度最大的目标的对应过程,本申请实施例对此不再赘述。
