具体实施方式
本申请提供了一种系统,参见图1,图1为本申请提供的一种系统架构示意图,所述系统涉及至少一个巡检设备110、网络设备120和至少一个计算设备130。
计算设备130,例如可以是台式电脑、笔记本、服务器等。可选的,计算设备130可以是位于云中的计算设备130,例如中心服务器,其中,云可以是私有云,也可以是公有云,也可以是混合云。计算设备130也可以位于边缘环境中的计算设备130,例如边缘服务器。云环境指的是云服务提供商拥有的用于提供计算、存储、通信资源的中心计算设备130集群,该计算设备130集群通常离巡检设备110较远,边缘环境指的是在地理位置上距离巡检设备110较近的用于提供计算、存储、通信资源的边缘计算设备130集群。
计算设备130用于接收用户输入的信息,用户输入的信息包括多个待巡检点位。可选的,用户输入的信息还可以包括任务需求,任务需求例如包括巡检线路最短、在待巡检点位所允许访问的时间内进行巡检访问等,其中巡检线路指的是巡检设备110巡检多个待巡检点位过程所走的实际线路。
计算设备130还用于根据用户输入的信息和地图生成一个或多个修正点位,并根据多个待巡检点位和一个或多个修正点位生成巡检路径,巡检路径中包括经过各个点位的巡检顺序,其中,各个点位包括多个待巡检点位和一个或多个修正点位。其中地图是存储在计算设备130本地的。修正点位是为使巡检线路更加准确而设置在特定路况位置处的点位,特定路况位置处包括转弯处附近、岔路口附近、坡度路段、较狭窄的路段中的一个或多个位置。关于修正点位的更多描述可参考下文方法实施例中的描述。需要说明的是,待巡检点位指的是电力设备所在的位置,巡检设备110需要在待巡检点位处拍照,修正点位用于辅助生成巡检路径或巡检线路,巡检设备110不需要在修正点位处拍照。
在一种实现方式中,巡检路径即为各个点位的巡检顺序。比如,各个点位包括点位A、点位B、点位C和点位D,巡检路径为点位A-点位B-点位C-点位D,该巡检路径的意思是,先访问点位A然后访问点位B再访问点位C最后访问点位D,但是相邻点位之间可能存在一条或多条线路,当相邻点位之间存在多条线路的情况下,巡检路径中可以不指明相邻点位之间的巡检线路具体是哪条。在又一种实现方式中,巡检路径中可以包括相邻点位之间的巡检线路具体是哪条,关于如何确定相邻点位之间的巡检线路是哪条,可以参见下文方法实施例的描述,在此不展开介绍。
可选的,计算设备130还用于接收用户对修正点位的修正操作,比如增加修正点位或删除修正点位。
网络设备120用于计算设备130通过任何通信机制/通信标准的通信网络与巡检设备110之间进行通信。其中,通信网络可以是广域网、局域网、点对点连接等方式,或它们的任意组合。比如,计算设备130将生成的巡检路径通过网络设备120发送至巡检设备110,可选的,计算设备130还可以将任务需求发送至巡检设备110,任务需求比如是巡检线路最短。
巡检设备110例如可以是机器人。巡检设备110用于接收计算设备130发送的巡检路径,并根据巡检路径和采集的实时路况信息确定巡检线路,实现对各个待巡检点位的巡检。
图1所示的系统架构仅仅是一种示例,并不构成对本申请的限定。
为了便于理解,本申请提供了又一种系统架构,如图2所示,图2为本申请提供的又一种系统架构示意图。用户将多个待巡检点位、任务需求(例如图2中,巡检路径最短、一个或多个待巡检点位所允许访问的时间)输入至计算设备,计算设备根据多个待巡检点位和地图生成修正点位,并根据多个待巡检点位、修正点位和任务需求,规划巡检路径,计算设备将生成的巡检路径发送至巡检设备。其中,计算设备在生成修正点位之后,用户可以对修正点位进行修改。
巡检设备基于巡检路径,确定相邻点位之间的巡检线路。可选的,巡检设备确定相邻点位之间的巡检线路,可以是巡检设备在巡检之前确定各个相邻的点位之间的巡检线路,也可以是巡检设备位于各个点位上时确定当前点位至下一点位之间的巡检线路,例如,巡检设备位于某一个巡检点位上时,确定当前点位至下一点位之间的巡检线路,然后根据巡检线路进行巡检,到达下一点位时,再次计算由此点位至下一点位之间的巡检线路。其中,巡检设备在由当前点位至下一点位的巡检过程中,能够自适应确定局部线路,关于如何自适应确定局部线路,可参见下文方法实施例中的相关描述,在此不展开描述。
本申请提供了一种路径规划方法,参见图3,图3为本申请提供的一种路径规划方法的流程示意图, 所述方法包括但不限于以下内容的描述。
S101、计算设备接收用户输入的信息,用户输入的信息包括多个待巡检点位。
用户输入的信息包括多个待巡检点位。可选的,用户输入的信息还可以包括任务需求,任务需求包括任务目标,任务目标例如可以是巡检线路最短或者巡检消耗时长最短,巡检消耗时长指的是巡检设备从起点行走至终点所消耗的时长。任务目标还可以是巡检设备计算巡检路径时所消耗的时长最短,具体的,任务目标可以设置为巡检设备计算相邻两个点位之间的巡检路径所消耗的时长最短,任务目标还可以设置为巡检设备在由当前点位行走至下一点位的过程中计算局部路径所消耗的时长最短,关于巡检设备计算巡检路径时所消耗的时长,具体在下文步骤S105中介绍,在此不展开描述,相关内容可参见步骤S105中的描述。
可选的,任务需求还可以包括多个待巡检点位中至少一个待巡检点位所允许访问的时间。多个待巡检点位中可以有一个或多个待巡检点位设置有允许访问的时间。某个待巡检点位所允许访问的时间可以是一个时间窗,比如上午10:00-上午11:00;也可以是只有允许访问的最晚时间,比如,每天允许访问的最晚时间是上午11:00,这意味着,巡检设备每天需要在上午11:00之前访问完该待巡检点位;也可以是只有允许访问的最早时间,比如,每天允许访问的最早时间是上午10:00,这意味着,巡检设备每天需要在上午10:00之后才可以访问该待巡检点位。
可以理解,计算设备上可以包括用户交互界面,用户交互界面可用于显示信息,比如,用户交互界面可用于显示多个待巡检点位,用户交互界面还可以用于显示任务需求,比如显示任务目标,还可以用于显示一个或多个待巡检点位所允许访问的时间,等等。
S102、计算设备根据多个待巡检点位和地图,生成一个或多个修正点位。
计算设备本地存储了地图,计算设备根据地图和多个待巡检点位,生成一个或多个修正点位,其中,一个或多个修正点位用于辅助根据多个待巡检点位生成巡检路径。本申请对生成修正点位的算法不做限定。
修正点位位于转弯处附近、岔路口附近、坡度路段、较狭窄的路段中的一个或多个位置。
转弯处附近,表示以转弯点为中心,距离转弯点一定距离的区域,转弯处附近包括转弯点,这里,一定距离可以根据实际路况或实际应用场景来设置,比如,一定距离可以是0.5米、0.8米、1米、1.3米等等,本申请对一定距离不做限定,转弯点指的是道路方向发生了较大改变的位置或者车辆在道路上行驶时行驶方向发生了较大改变的位置。
为了便于描述,这里采用车辆在道路上行驶时行驶方向发生了较大改变的位置为例,进行说明。参见图4A和图4B所示的示意图,图4A和图4B中车辆行驶方向均是由向东行驶转弯至向北行驶,图4A中a点即为转弯点,图4B中b点即为转弯点,不同的是,图4A为直角转弯,图4B为非直角转弯;参见图4C所示的示意图,在c点处,行驶方向由向北行驶转弯至向东行驶,c点即为转弯点;参见图4D所示的示意图,从道路1上行驶转弯至道路2上行驶,d点即为转弯点;在图4E所示的示意图中,e点为转弯点;在图4F所示的示意图中,在车辆行驶至f点之前与行驶至f点之后,行驶方向发生了较大改变,可以理解为f点为转弯点,在车辆行驶至g点之前和行驶至g点之后,行驶方向也发生了较大改变,g点也为转弯点。这里,关于道路方向是否发生了较大改变或者行驶方向是否发生了较大改变,可以通过东、西、南、北、东南、东北、西南、西北等模糊方向来判断,也可以通过地图上相连接的两条道路所在位置的经纬度来判断,也可以通过相连接的两条道路之间的夹角来判断。关于多大程度的改变称之为较大改变,可以根据不同应用场景或不同路况设置不同的角度阈值或经纬度阈值来确定,比如,当相连接的两条道路的经纬度的差值超过阈值的情况下,确定道路方向发生了较大改变,确定为转弯处附近,可以生成修正点位,又比如,当相连接的两条道路之间的夹角超过阈值的情况下,确定道路方向发生了较大改变,确定为转弯处附近,可以生成修正点位。本申请对角度阈值或经纬度阈值不做限定。
转弯包括直角转弯,如图4A所示,也包括非直角转弯,如图4B、图4E和图4F所示,上述图4A至图4F所示的示意图仅仅用于举例,并不是对本申请的限定,转弯还可以是其他形式的转弯,本申请不做限定。
岔路口,可以是T型岔路口,如图4C所示,也可以是Y型岔路口,如图4D所示,也可以十字型交叉路口,还可以是其他形式的岔路口,本申请不做限定。岔路口附近指的是以分岔点为中心,距离分岔点一定距离的区域,岔路口附近包括分岔点,这里,一定距离可以根据实际路况或实际应用场景来设置,比如,一定距离可以是0.5米、0.8米、1米、1.4米等等,本申请对一定距离不做限定。
坡度路段指的是具有一定坡度的路段,本申请对路段的长度不做限定。这里坡度是一个相对的概念,某条道路相对于相邻道路或相连接的道路具有一定的坡度,或者,道路上某个路段相对于相邻路段或相连接的路段具有一定的坡度。本申请中,坡度路段可以指上坡路段,也可以指下坡路段,也可以指凹凸不平 的路段(凹凸不平的路段可以理解为既包括上坡路段,又包括下坡路段),本申请不做限定。
较狭窄的路段指的是道路的宽度较小的路段,关于宽度小于多少称为较狭窄的路段,本申请不做限定。可以通过设置宽度阈值来确定较狭窄的路段,比如阈值可以设置为0.5米或0.8米,当道路宽度小于宽度阈值时,即判定该道路为较狭窄的路段,关于宽度阈值本申请不做限定,实际应用中,可以根据具体应用场景、具体情况具体确定。
通过增加修正点位,修正点位位于转弯处附近、岔路口附近、坡度路段、较狭窄的路段中的一个或多个位置,以便后续根据修正点位和待巡检点位,生成精准的巡检路径,在巡检设备行走至路况较复杂或较特殊的位置时,比如,转弯处、岔路口、较狭窄的道路处、斜坡处等,可以根据精准的巡检路径行走,从而实现对电力设备的图像采集,避免了图像采集失败或不合格的情况,提高了图像拍摄效率和巡检成功率。
另外,计算设备中的地图中可能包含一些破损处,比如,实际生活中,两条道路中间存在一堵墙或两个电力设备之间隔着一堵墙,但由于地图存在漏洞(bug),这堵墙并未显示在地图中,如果直接根据多个待巡检点位生成巡检路径,则生成的巡检路径可能是“穿墙”路径,按照“穿墙”路径行走的话,巡检设备可能会碰壁、撞墙,导致巡检失败。例如,参见图5所示,在实际中MN表示具有一定厚度的墙,由于地图破损,MN处的墙并未显示,计算设备在生成巡检路径时,有可能生成从P点至Q点的直线“穿墙”路径,但是实际从P点无法通过该直线路径到达Q点,而是需要通过图5中的虚线绕行至Q点,因此可以在图5中虚线所在的路径上增加一些修正点位,来避免“穿墙”问题。通过增加修正点位,可以避免“穿墙”问题,使生成的巡检路径更加精准,巡检成功率更高。
可选的,计算设备生成一个或多个修正点位后,可以通过用户交互界面显示生成的一个或多个修正点位。用户可以对生成的修正点位进行修正,比如,增加修正点位,例如为了避免穿墙问题,用户可以在地图上增加一些修正点位,又比如,删除修正点位,计算设备接收用户对修正点位的修正操作。
该步骤的处理过程大致如下:1)将地图体素化,即将地图的矢量模型转化为点阵信息;2)根据点阵信息(体素化的地图),确定可以供巡检设备通行的平面,过滤掉不可通行的平面;3)将确定出的可供巡检设备通行的平面划分为不重叠且没有洞的多个区域;4)对于步骤3)中获得的多个区域,生成每一个区域的轮廓,并将多个区域的轮廓合并为一个轮廓;5)将生成的轮廓切分为多个凸多边形,多个凸多边形中的任意两个凸边形是可以通过线段到达的,因此获得多面体图。将多个待巡检点位输入计算设备后,计算设备将多个待巡检点位标注在多面体图上,并根据算法生成一个或多个修正点位。
S103、计算设备根据多个待巡检点位和一个或多个修正点位,生成巡检路径。
如图1系统中关于巡检路径内容所示,巡检路径中包括各个点位的巡检顺序。一种实现方式中,巡检路径即为各个点位的巡检顺序,在相邻点位之间包括多条线路的情况下,巡检路径中不包括相邻点位之间的巡检线路具体是哪条。这种实现方式中,在各相邻点位之间仅包括一条线路的情况下,相邻点位之间的巡检线路也就是确定的了。
在一种示例中,用户输入的信息包括一个或多个待巡检点位所允许访问的时间,计算设备根据一个或多个待巡检点位所允许访问的时间,确定各个点位的巡检顺序。在一种实现方式中,可以建立数学模型通过算法确定各个点位的巡检顺序。在建立数学模型时设置约束条件包括:
约束条件一:一个或多个待巡检点位所允许访问的时间;
约束条件二:所有点位在一次巡检任务中访问完成,所有点位包括所有待巡检点位和所有修正点位;
约束条件三:每个点位不重复访问;
基于上述约束条件,通过算法求解,确定各个点位的巡检顺序,例如算法可以是遗传算法,本申请对确定巡检顺序所使用的算法不做限定。上述约束条件只是一种示例,具体实现时,可以根据实际应用需求修改约束条件。
在一种示例中,用户输入的信息包括任务目标,例如任务目标为巡检线路最短,计算设备根据各个点位和任务目标,确定巡检路径。在这种示例中,依照巡检线路最短的原则,计算设备确定出各个点位的巡检顺序,再从相邻点位之间的多条路径中选择一条最短路径作为相邻点位之间的巡检线路,因此获得巡检路径,这种实现方式中,巡检路径中包括了各个点位的巡检顺序和相邻点位之间的巡检线路具体是哪条。
在一种示例中,用户输入的信息包括任务目标和一个或多个待巡检点位所允许访问的时间,任务目标为巡检路径最短,计算设备根据任务目标和一个或多个待巡检点位所允许访问的时间,确定各个点位的排列顺序。
S104、计算设备将巡检路径发送至巡检设备,相应地,巡检设备接收计算设备发送的巡检路径。
计算设备与巡检设备之间可以进行无线通信,计算设备将巡检路径发送至巡检设备,相应地,巡检设 备接收计算设备发送的巡检路径。
S105、巡检设备在根据巡检路径行走的过程中,获取实时路况信息,并基于实时路况信息确定巡检线路。
有的路况比较简单,比如道路上无障碍物、无凹凸不平的路、无岔路口等,有的路况比较复杂,比如道路上存在障碍物、凹凸不平、岔路口等中的一种或多种。巡检设备上安装有传感器,能够采集路况数据,数据例如可以是图像或雷达数据或红外数据等,巡检设备根据传感器采集的数据能够确定实时路况信息。
在一种实现方式中,巡检路径中只包括各个点位的巡检顺序。巡检设备在根据巡检顺序行走的过程中,在相邻点位之间包括多条路径的情况下,巡检设备需要从多条路径中筛选一条作为相邻点位之间的巡检线路,根据筛选的巡检线路进行巡检。
可选的,巡检设备中设置了第一算法库,巡检设备可以从第一算法库中选择一种算法,根据选择出的算法确定一条路径作为相邻点位之间的巡检线路,第一算法库中包括基于图搜索算法、随机抽样算法、启发式算法等类型的算法,本申请对第一算法库中包括的算法不做限定。可选的,巡检设备可以基于历史数据确定所采用的算法,从而确定相邻点位之间的巡检线路,其中历史数据包括历史巡检过程中该相邻点位所采用的算法与根据所述算法确定的该相邻点位之间的巡检线路的路况情况之间的映射关系。
可选的,计算设备还可以将任务目标发送至巡检设备,任务目标为巡检线路最短,巡检设备基于任务目标和各个点位的巡检顺序确定相邻点位之间的巡检线路。比如,在确定任意相邻的两个点位之间的巡检线路时,基于巡检线路最短的原则,从由当前点位至下一点位的多条路径中确定出一条最短路径,作为由当前点位至下一点位的巡检线路。
可选的,任务目标还可以为巡检设备计算相邻两个点位之间的巡检线路所消耗的时长最短,则巡检设备在计算由当前点位至下一点位选择哪一条路径时,选择计算消耗时长最短的算法来确定。可选的,任务目标还可以为巡检设备在由当前点位行走至下一点位的过程中计算局部线路所消耗的时长最短,则巡检设备在计算局部线路时采用计算消耗时长最短的算法来确定。
可选的,计算当前点位至下一点位的巡检线路时采用哪种算法,还可以由用户预先指定,例如,用户可预先指定计算由A点位至B点位的巡检路径时采用算法a,计算由B点位至C点位的巡检路径时采用算法b,计算由B点位至C点位的巡检路径时采用算法c,等等。其中,A点位与B点位相邻,B点位和C点位相邻,这里,算法a、算法b和算法c可以是相同的算法,也可以是不同的算法。或者,巡检设备在确定出计算当前点位至下一点位的巡检线路所采用的算法的情况下,可以向计算设备发送确认消息,确认消息用于向用户确认是否采用该算法,用户可以在计算设备上进行确认操作,计算设备向巡检设备发送响应消息,巡检设备接收到响应消息,响应消息用于指示采用该算法,或者,用户在计算设备上进行否认操作并指定某一算法,计算设备向巡检设备发送响应消息,巡检设备接收到响应消息,响应消息中包括用户指定的算法。
