具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
此外,下面所描述的本发明各个实施方式中所涉及到的技术特征只要彼此之间未构成冲突就可以相互组合。
本发明实施例提供的避障方法可以应用到各种通过电机或马达驱动的可移动物体上,包括但不限于飞行器、机器人等。其中飞行器可包括无人飞行器(unmanned aerial vehicle,UAV),无人飞船等。
其中,本发明实施例的避障方法,应用于无人飞行器的飞行控制器。
请参阅图1,图1是本发明实施例提供的一种无人飞行器的具体结构图;
如图1所示,该无人飞行器10包括:机身11、与所述机身11相连的机臂12、设置于所述机臂12的动力装置13,连接至该机身11底部的云台14,安装在云台14上的摄像头15以及设置于机身11内的飞行控制器(图未示)。
其中,飞行控制器与动力装置13连接,动力装置13安装在所述机身11上,用于为所述无人飞行器10提供飞行动力。具体的,飞行控制器用于执行上述的避障方法以生成控制指令,并将该控制指令发送给动力装置13的电调,电调通过该控制指令控制动力装置13的驱动电机。或者,飞行控制器用于执行避障方法,以便生成控制指令,并通过该控制指令控制动力装置13的驱动电机。
机身11包括:中心壳体以及与中心壳体连接的一个或多个机臂,一个或多个机臂呈辐射状从中心壳体延伸出。机臂与中心壳体的连接可以是一体连接或者固定连接。动力装置安装于机臂上。
飞行控制器用于执行上述避障方法以生成控制指令,并将该控制指令发送给动力装置的电调,以便电调通过该控制指令控制动力装置的驱动电机。控制器为具有一定逻辑处理能力的器件,如控制芯片、单片机、微控制单元(Microcontroller Unit,MCU)等。
动力装置13包括:电调,驱动电机和螺旋桨。电调位于机臂或中心壳体所形成的空腔内,电调分别与控制器及驱动电机连接。具体的,电调与驱动电机电连接,用于控制所述驱动电机。驱动电机安装在机臂上,驱动电机的转动轴连接螺旋桨。螺旋桨在驱动电机的驱动下产生使得无人飞行器10移动的力,例如,使得无人飞行器10移动的升力或者推力。
无人飞行器10完成各个规定速度、动作(或姿态)是通过电调控制驱动电机以实现的。电调全称电子调速器,根据控制信号调节无人飞行器10的驱动电机的转速。其中,控制器为执行上述避障方法的执行主体,电调生成控制指令来控制驱动电机。电调控制驱动电机的原理大致为:驱动电机是将电脉冲信号转变为角位移或线位移的开环控制元件。在非超载的情况下,驱动电机的转速、停止的位置只取决于脉冲信号的频率和脉冲数,而不受负载变化的影响,当驱动器接收到一个脉冲信号,它就驱动动力装置的驱动电机按设定的方向转动一个固定的角度,它的旋转是以固定的角度运行的。因此,电调可以通过控制脉冲个数来控制角位移量,从而达到准确定位的目的;同时可以通过控制脉冲频率来控制驱动电机转动的速度和加速度,从而达到调速的目的。
目前无人飞行器10主要功能为航拍、影像实时传输、高危地区探 测等。为了实现航拍、影像实时传输、高危地区探测等功能,无人飞行器10上会连接有摄像组件。具体的,无人飞行器10和摄像组件通过连接结构,如减振球等进行连接。该摄像组件用于在无人飞行器10进行航拍的过程中,获取拍摄画面。
具体的,摄像组件包括:云台及拍摄装置。云台与无人飞行器10连接。其中,拍摄装置搭载于所述云台上,拍摄装置可以为图像采集装置,用于采集图像,该拍摄装置包括但不限于:相机、摄影机、摄像头、扫描仪、拍照手机等。云台用于搭载拍摄装置,以实现拍摄装置的固定、或随意调节拍摄装置的姿态(例如,改变拍摄装置的高度、倾角和/或方向)以及使所述拍摄装置稳定保持在设定的姿态上。例如,当无人飞行器10进行航拍时,云台主要用于使所述拍摄装置稳定保持在设定的姿态上,防止拍摄装置拍摄画面抖动,保证拍摄画面的稳定。
云台14与飞行控制器连接,以实现云台14与飞行控制器之间的数据交互。例如,飞行控制器发送偏航指令至云台14,云台14获取偏航的速度和方向指令并执行,且将执行偏航指令后所产生的数据信息发送至飞行控制器,以便飞行控制器检测当前偏航状况。
云台包括:云台电机及云台基座。其中,云台电机安装于云台基座。飞行控制器也可通过动力装置13的电调来控制云台电机,具体的,飞行控制器与电调连接,电调与云台电机电连接,飞行控制器生成云台电机控制指令,电调通过云台电机控制指令以控制云台电机。
云台基座与无人飞行器的机身连接,用于将摄像组件固定安装于无人飞行器的机身上。
云台电机分别与云台基座及拍摄装置连接。该云台可以为多轴云台,与之适应的,云台电机为多个,也即每个轴设置有一个云台电机。云台电机一方面可带动拍摄装置的转动,从而满足拍摄转轴的水平旋转和俯仰角度的调节,通过手动远程控制云台电机旋转或利用程序让电机自动旋转,从而达到全方位扫描监控的作用;另一方面,在无人飞行器进行航拍的过程中,通过云台电机的转动实时抵消拍摄装置受到的扰动,防止拍摄装置抖动,保证拍摄画面的稳定。
在本发明实施例中,云台可以为三轴云台,云台电机可以为三轴电机,三轴电机分别包括第一电机、第二电机以及第三电机。
拍摄装置搭载于云台上,拍摄装置上设置有惯性测量单元(Inertial measurement unit,IMU),该惯性测量单元用于测量物体三轴姿态角(或角速率)以及加速度的装置。一般的,一个IMU内会装有三轴的陀螺仪和三个方向的加速度计,即通过三轴陀螺仪、三轴加速度计来测量物体在三维空间中的角速度和加速度,并以此解算出物体的姿态。为了提高可靠性,还可以为每个轴配备更多的传感器。一般而言IMU要安装在飞行器的重心上,其中,所述拍摄装置包括多个双目相机,所 述多个双目相机设置于所述机身,例如:多个双目相机分别安装于所述无人飞行器的机身的前方、后方、左方、右方、上方,以获取多个方向的双目视觉。
目前市面上的无人机避障系统,由于机臂遮挡及摄像头物理限制,很多时候会存在视觉看不到的区域,俗称死区。飞行速度沿着死区方向时,飞机会因看不见障碍物无法启动避障而撞到障碍物。
基于上述问题,本发明实施例提出一种避障方法、装置及无人飞行器,以提高无人飞行器的避障成功率。
下面结合附图,对本发明实施例作进一步阐述。
实施例一
请参阅图2,图2是本发明实施例提供的一种障碍物扇区的示意图;
其中,所述无人飞行器包括多个双目相机,每一双目相机对应一双目视觉,其中,双目视觉是模拟人类视觉原理,使用计算机被动感知距离的方法。从两个或者多个点观察一个物体,获取在不同视角下的图像,根据图像之间像素的匹配关系,通过三角测量原理计算出像素之间的偏移来获取物体的三维信息。具体的,所述无人飞行器包括至少五个双目相机,其具备至少五对双目视觉,如图2所示,分别为前双目、后双目、左双目、右双目以及上双目,其中,下双目为备选,可有可无,但是所述无人飞行器的下方需要安装超声传感器或者TOF传感器来测定对地障碍物距离。本发明实施例基于前后左右上5对双目视觉、以及下视超声为例进行说明,如图2所示,每个双目视觉对应一个双目方向,本发明实施例将每个双目方向进行分区,分为多个障碍物扇区,例如:分为6个障碍物扇区,分别编号为1-6,如图2所示,图中F代表前方,B代表后方、L代表左方、R代表右方,S代表死区。F1代表前视第一障碍物扇区,F2代表前视第二障碍物扇区,……,等等。

其中,每一个障碍物扇区都在实时地检测障碍物距离,一共有5个双目视觉,每一个双目视觉对应6个障碍物扇区,因此有30路障碍物数据,而对地超声波可以测量1个对地障碍物数据,则一共有31路数据。
请参阅图4,图4是本发明实施例提供的一种避障方法的流程示意图;
如图4所示,该避障方法,应用于无人飞行器,所述无人飞行器包 括多个双目相机,所述方法包括:
步骤S10:获取每一双目相机对应的双目方向,每一双目方向对应多个障碍物扇区;
具体的,基于所述多个双目相机的双目视觉,每一双目视觉对应一个双目方向,每一双目方向对应多个障碍物扇区,例如:所述双目方向包括前视双目、后视双目、左视双目、右视双目以及上视双目,而每一双目方向对应多个障碍物扇区,例如:每一双目方向对应4个障碍物扇区、5个障碍物扇区等。
可以理解的是,为了进一步提高测量障碍物距离的准确度,所述障碍物扇区可以设置为32个。或者,所述方法还包括:根据所述无人机的当前速度,动态设置所述双目方向对应的障碍物扇区的数量,其中,每一所述双目方向对应的障碍物扇区的数量与所述无人机的当前速度成正比,速度越快,则设置的障碍物扇区的数量越多。
可以理解的是,本发明实施例中的不同双目方向对应的障碍物扇区的数量可以相同也可以不同,例如:前视双目对应的障碍物扇区的数量可以多于后视双目对应的障碍物扇区的数量。
步骤S20:检测每一双目方向对应的每一所述障碍物扇区的障碍物距离;
具体的,所述障碍物距离指的是双目相机检测到的障碍物扇区与障碍物的距离,其中,每一障碍物扇区与障碍物的距离为该障碍物扇区的扇区中心与障碍物的距离,所述扇区中心为所述障碍物扇区的中心位置,假设每一双目方向对应6个障碍物扇区,例如:假设前视双目包括6个障碍物扇区,分别为前视第一障碍物扇区、前视第二障碍物扇区、前视第三障碍物扇区、前视第四障碍物扇区、前视第五障碍物扇区以及前视第六障碍物扇区,6个障碍物扇区检测的障碍物距离分别为:F 1、F 2、F 3、F 4、F 5、F 6,同理,后视双目6个扇区检测的障碍物距离为:B 1、B 2、B 3、B 4、B 5、B 6,左视双目6个扇区检测的障碍物距离为:L 1、L 2、L 3、L 4、L 5、L 6,右视双目6个扇区检测的障碍物距离为:R 1、R 2、R 3、R 4、R 5、R 6,上视双目6个扇区检测的障碍物距离为:T 1、T 2、T 3、T 4、T 5、T 6
其中,所述方法还包括:检测每一所述障碍物扇区对应的扇区角度,包括:
确定X轴方向,其中,所述X轴方向为穿过无人飞行器的机头的方向,通过X轴方向顺时针旋转到某一障碍物扇区的扇区中心,将旋转过的角度确定为该障碍物扇区对应的扇区角度,例如:

其中,所述无人飞行器的下方安装的超声传感器测量的对地障碍物距离为D s
步骤S30:根据每一双目方向对应的每一所述障碍物扇区的障碍物距离,确定每一双目方向的障碍物距离;
具体的,由于每一双目方向包括多个障碍物扇区,而每一障碍物扇区都对应一个障碍物距离,因此,为了确定所述每一双目方向的障碍物距离,需要对所述双目方向对应的多个障碍物距离进行选取,其中,所述根据每一双目方向对应的每一所述障碍物扇区的障碍物距离,确定每一双目方向的障碍物距离,包括:
确定每一双目方向对应的多个障碍物扇区的障碍物距离的最小值,将最小值作为每一双目方向的障碍物距离。
可以理解的是,为了最大限度地避免障碍物的干扰,通过选择多个障碍物距离中的最小值作为所述双目方向的障碍物距离。
在本发明实施例中,所述方法还包括:
确定每一所述双目方向中的若干个障碍物扇区为当前飞行方向的直线方向的若干个障碍物主扇区,从所述若干个障碍物主扇区中确定距离的最小值,将距离的最小值作为所述双目方向的障碍物距离,例如:当所述无人飞行器的当前飞行方向为前飞时,实时监测无人飞行器的前方F2、F3、F4、F5四个扇区的障碍物距离,即实时监测前视第二障碍物扇区、第三障碍物扇区、第四障碍物扇区以及第五障碍物扇区的障碍物距离,取最小值作为前方障碍物距离,即前方障碍物距离F=min(F 2,F 3,F 4,F 5)。
步骤S40:根据每一双目方向的障碍物距离,结合所述无人飞行器的飞行方向,确定避障策略。
其中,所述无人飞行器的飞行方向可以为前飞、后飞、左飞、右飞、上飞、左前飞、右前飞、左后飞、右后飞以及下降,由于无人飞行器的双目相机的视觉范围有限,因此在针对不同的飞行方向时,需要采用不同的避障策略,以最大程度地利用双目相机以及超声传感器,达到更好的避障成功率。
具体的,请再参阅图5,图5是图4中的步骤S40的细化流程图;
如图5所示,该步骤S40:根据每一双目方向的障碍物距离,结合所述无人飞行器的飞行方向,确定避障策略,包括:

具体的,所述预设避障紧急刹车的最大姿态角,并获取所述无人飞行器的当前速度,以计算刹车距离为:
D 1=V x 2/(2*yeta*g*tan(Ω));
其中,D 1为刹车距离,V x为所述无人飞行器在X轴上的速度分量,g为重力加速度,Ω为避障紧急刹车的最大姿态角,yeta为刹车效率因子。
其中,所述刹车效率因子yeta的取值与所述无人飞行器的刹车响应相关,对于刹车响应慢的无人飞行器,yeta取值小,而对于刹车响应快的无人飞行器,yeta取值大,在本发明实施例中,所述刹车效率因子yeta的取值范围为0.6-0.95。
