本申请的臂载云台包括俯仰机构14、旋转机构12和摆动机构11,旋转机构12与摆动机构11连接,场景检测单元能够安装摆动机构11上。旋转机构12能够驱动摆动机构11绕旋转轴线旋转以带动场景检测单元进行360°旋转扫描,摆动机构11能够驱动场景检测单元绕摆动轴线摆动以调节场景检测单元的光轴与旋转轴线之间的摆动角,摆动轴线可与地平面平行。
本申请实施例中,作业机械可以是带臂架的作业设备,例如起重机、泵车、举高喷射消防车、高空作业机械或者臂架式机器人等。以作业机械为起重机为例,由于大型起重机作业的最大幅度和最大作业半径可达六十米以上,最小幅度和最小作业半径可低至几米,最大幅度和最小幅度之间的差值相差较大,最大作业半径和最小作业半径之间的差值也相差较大,可达几十米。如此,本申请的臂载云台对于视场角较小和设备成本相对较低的场景检测单元也能够实现大作业范围的大视野监控与三维重建,同时也能有效降低了大型起重机的制造成本。此外,由于臂载云台增设了能够调节扫描时的摆动角的摆动机构11,使得配套使用小视场角的场景检测单元的臂载随动感知装置1也可适用于不同规格型号的作业机械,尤其是大型作业机械,通用性大大提高。
此外,当臂架21起臂或变幅时,臂架21的作业位姿会发生改变,旋转机构12的位姿也会发生变化,导致旋转轴线与地平面的垂直关系也发生改变。为此,如图1和图2所示,臂载云台还包括俯仰机构14,俯仰机构14能够在臂架21变幅时驱动旋转机构12绕俯仰轴线进行上下俯仰运动。如此,在臂架21起臂(变幅)时,场景检测单元的旋转轴线能够通过俯仰机构14调节俯仰角来保证与地平面垂直,从而便于场景检测单元对作业区域的各个方位进行旋转扫描,同时能够对场景检测单元下方及周边环境进行全面有效的扫描,有助于降低臂载云台的控制难度和简化后续的扫描数据处理步骤。
其中,俯仰轴线垂直于臂架21的变幅方向,臂架21的变幅方向为臂架21的中心轴线在地平面上的投影的延伸方向。
为更好地体现本申请实施例所能带来的技术效果,以下结合一些应用例对臂载云台的功能实现方式进行说明。在本申请的臂载云台中,摆动机构11、旋转机构12和俯仰机构14可分属于两个不同的控制模块,摆动机构11和旋转机构12为旋转扫描作业控制模块,而俯仰机构14为位姿调整控制模块。通过设置俯仰机构14,可满足在臂架21的作业位姿发生变化时,动态实时控制俯仰机构14的动作,从而改变旋转机构12的位姿,使得旋转轴线始终保持垂直于地平面。而对于摆动机构11和旋转机构12的旋转扫描作业模块,场景检测单元搭载于摆动机构11上,具备方位标定关系,摆动机构11和旋转机构12是为旋转扫描作业时可进行独立控制按步长进行作业场景的扫描,根据场景检测单元的标定关系,有助于提升扫描数据的后处理处理效率,例如,扫描数据应用于场景重建时,可提升场景重建的效率和算法的实时性;或者,扫描数据应用于场景障碍物检测时,能够有效提升障碍物的检测效率和定位精度。当然,容易理解的是,以上是对扫描数据的一些可应用方式的一些举例说明,实际应用中扫描数据还可以用作其他用途,例如行人检测等等,此处不做一一举例。
进一步地,以扫描数据应用于场景重建为例,为提升场景重建的效率和算法的实时性,本申请的臂载随动感知系统的控制坐标系可以设有两个。具体地,俯仰机构14的俯仰轴线为动态变化轴,俯仰机构14的俯仰轴线设置于其中一个独立的控制坐标系中;而摆动机构11的摆动轴线和旋转机构12驱动场景检测单元旋转的旋转轴线是根据工况作业要求可控可调节轴,摆动机构11的摆动轴线和旋转机构12驱动场景检测单元旋转的旋转轴线单独设置于另一个坐标系中。
并且,区别于现有普通的三轴云台,由于本申请的臂载云台在旋转机构12与臂架21之间设置了俯仰机构14,可使得臂载云台可在臂架21上不限方位进行安装,在场景检测单元旋转扫描时,旋转轴线均可自动控制垂直于地平面,从而能够对场景检测单元下方及周边环境进行全面有效的扫描,并有助于简化处理装置后续的扫描数据处理步骤。显然,对于现有普通的三轴云台,由于相机设置在俯仰结构或横滚结构上,俯仰结构或横滚结构设置在旋转结构上,旋转结构设置在安装平台上,这种普通的三轴云台无法保证相机对下方及周边环境进行全面有效的扫描,使用现有普通的三轴云台安装在臂架上,一旦臂架发生倾斜,按照完全解耦的方式,相机的旋转轴线也发生倾斜,导致部分方位无法得到有效的扫描,且扫描区域的形状也会发生改变,从而导致后续对扫描数据的处理也必然会非常复杂。并且,如果想要通过现有普通的三轴云台要得到本案中的全方位全面扫描区域,必然要至少两个自由度耦合运动,云台控制难度也会明显增大。
另外,如图3所示,场景检测单元包括激光雷达151和/或图像获取部件152等检测件,不同型号规格的激光雷达151和图像获取部件152的视场角不同,通过设置摆动机构11可灵活调节场景检测单元的摆动角,使得臂载云台的通用性也大大提高。其中,场景检测单元对作业区域进行旋转扫描,可便于后续生成作业场景全局地图,也可便于在作业时进行监控、跟踪、障碍物识别。
可选地,旋转机构12、摆动机构11和俯仰机构14的结构可多种多样。摆动机构11可包括摆动驱动件111和摆动支架112,旋转机构12可包括旋转驱动件121和旋转支架122。摆动驱动件111设置在摆动支架112上,摆动驱动件111的驱动轴能够与场景检测单元驱动连接以能够驱动场景检测单元摆动。旋转驱动件121设置在旋转支架122上,旋转驱动件121的驱动轴与摆动支架112驱动连接以能够驱动摆动机构11旋转。其中,摆动驱动件111可包括伺服电机、步进电机或电缸等,摆动支架112的形状可为U形支架或不规则状支架等,场景检测单元可直接与摆动驱动件111的驱动轴连接,也可通过连接架体、中间齿轮组件或连杆组件间接与摆动驱动件111的驱动轴连接。同样的,旋转驱动件121可包括伺服电机或步进电机等,旋转支架122可为L形或不规则状支架等,摆动支架112可直接与旋转驱动件121的驱动轴连接,也可通过连接架体、中间齿轮组件等间接与旋转驱动件121的驱动轴连接。俯仰机构14可包括俯仰驱动件141和俯仰支架142,俯仰驱动件141可包括伺服电机、步进电机或电缸等,俯仰支架142的形状可为U形支架或不规则状支架等。
由于本申请的场景检测单元需要进行旋转扫描,为便于后续的在线重建三维场景地图,需保证旋转轴线与地平面垂直。然而,在实际作业时,臂架21上的吊载发生摆动或车身倾斜等因素会导致臂架21末端会扭转。臂架21的扭转会使得旋转机构12倾斜,旋转轴线与地平面的垂直关系也发生改变。
为此,在一些具体实施方式中,如图1和图2所示,本申请的臂载云台还包括与俯仰机构14连接的横滚机构13,横滚机构13和俯仰机构14连接在臂架21与旋转机构12之间。横滚机构13在臂架21扭转时能够驱动旋转机构12绕横滚轴线转动,横滚轴线平行于臂架21的变幅方向,且垂直于俯仰轴线。如此,在臂架21发生扭转时,场景检测单元的旋转轴线能够通过横滚机构13调节横滚角来保证与地平面垂直。其中,横滚机构13可包括横滚驱动件131和横滚支架132,横滚驱动件131可包括伺服电机、步进电机或电缸等,横滚支架132的形状可为U形支架或不规则状支架等。
进一步地,横滚机构13与俯仰机构14可同属于同一个控制模块中,即横滚机构13和俯仰机构14同属于位姿调整控制模块。通过设置横滚机构13和俯仰机构14,可满足在臂架21的作业位姿发生变化时,动态实时控制横滚机构13和俯仰机构14的动作,从而改变旋转机构12的位姿,使得旋转轴线始终保持垂直于地平面。
更进一步地,以扫描数据应用于场景重建为例,为提升场景重建的效率和算法的实时性,在本申请的臂载随动感知系统设有两个控制坐标系时,横滚机构13的横滚轴线也为动态变化轴,俯仰机构14的俯仰轴线和横滚机构13的横滚轴线设置于同一个控制坐标系中。
由于本申请的臂载云台在旋转机构13与臂架21之间设置了横滚机构13和俯仰机构14,在臂架21变幅和发生倾斜时,也能够对场景检测单元下方及周边环境进行全面有效的扫描,同时有助于简化后续的扫描数据处理步骤和降低臂载云台的控制难度。
可选地,摆动机构11的摆动角的调节范围为-32°~32°。俯仰机构14的俯仰角的调节范围为-10°~90°。横滚机构13的横滚角的调节范围为-15°~15°。旋转机构12的旋转角的角度的控制范围为正转-20°~360°或反转-20°~360°。

可选地,臂载云台还可包括云台固定支架(图中未示出),云台固定支架能够与臂架21连接,旋转机构12通过俯仰机构14和横滚机构13设置云台固定支架上。当摆动机构11、旋转机构12、横滚机构13以及俯仰机构14依次连接时,俯仰支架142与云台固定支架连接;当摆动机构11、旋转机构12、俯仰机构14以及横滚机构13依次连接时,横滚支架132与云台固定支架连接。
可选地,臂载云台的云台固定支架呈L形并设有加强筋,俯仰支架142形成为从云台固定支架的水平顶板向下伸出并间隔设置的两块竖向板,俯仰驱动件141设置在俯仰支架142上并位于俯仰支架142的外侧。横滚支架132呈圆筒状并转动设置在俯仰支架142的两块竖向板之间,俯仰驱动件141可驱动横滚支架132绕俯仰轴线进行俯仰动作。旋转支架122呈U形并位于横滚支架132内,横滚驱动件131设置在横滚支架132上并可驱动旋转支架122绕横滚轴线进行横滚摆动,俯仰轴线垂直于横滚轴线。摆动支架112呈U形并位于旋转支架122内,旋转驱动件121设置在旋转支架122上并可驱动摆动支架112绕旋转轴线旋转。场景检测单元设置在摆动支架112内,摆动驱动件111设置在摆动支架112外侧,并可驱动场景检测单元绕摆动轴线摆动。
或者,臂载云台的云台固定支架呈L形并设有加强筋,云台固定支架的一个外侧板面用于与臂架21连接,另一个外侧板面用于安装处理装置17,俯仰支架142设置在两个内侧板面之间。横滚支架132、旋转支架122以及摆动支架112均呈L形。臂载云台还设有场景检测单元安装架,场景检测单元安装架用于安装场景检测单元并与摆动驱动件111驱动连接,摆动驱动件111可驱动场景检测单元安装架绕摆动轴线摆动。
本申请第二方面还提供一种臂载随动感知装置1,该臂载随动感知装置1包括上述的臂载云台和场景检测单元,场景检测单元设置在臂载云台上并用于获取作业场景的扫描数据。由于该臂载随动感知装置1包括上述的臂载云台,因此也具备由该臂载云台带来的所有技术效果,因此不再重复赘述。
本申请第三方面还提供一种臂载随动感知系统,该臂载随动感知系统包括上述的臂载随动感知装置1,由于该臂载随动感知系统包括上述的臂载随动感知装置1,因此也具备由该臂载随动感知装置1带来的所有技术效果,因此不再重复赘述。
可选地,臂载随动感知装置1还可包括第一角度传感器、第二角度传感器、第三角度传感器以及第四角度传感器(图中未示出)。第一角度传感器设置在摆动机构11上并用于检测摆动机构11的摆动角,第二角度传感器设置在旋转机构12上并用于检测旋转机构12的旋转角,第三角度传感器设置在横滚机构13上并用于检测在垂直于臂架21的变幅方向上的第一倾斜角度值,第四角度传感器设置在俯仰机构14上并用于检测在臂架21的变幅方向上的第二倾斜角度值。

可选地,场景检测单元可包括图像获取部件152,或者场景检测单元可包括雷达,还或者,场景检测单元可同时包括图像获取部件152和雷达。雷达可为激光雷达151,本申请的场景检测单元可采用线束较少的多线激光雷达,同样可得到大范围的扫描空间,可降低制造成本。图像获取部件152可为相机或摄像头,相机例如为可变焦单目相机。场景检测单元的光轴可为图像获取部件152或雷达的视场角中轴线,图像获取部件152和雷达的视场角中轴线平行。
具体地,当臂载随动感知装置1安装在臂架21的臂尖时,雷达的检测范围为以吊绳/吊钩为轴的圆锥形区域。控制雷达扫描,可在线重建雷达扫射范围内的三维场景地图。后续可在三维场景地图中以点选作业目标形式,进行作业目标位置的粗定位,并将该值传递给用于精准定位(二次定位)的相机,并控制相机或摄像头跟随。雷达可实时检测以吊绳/吊钩为轴的锥形区域内所有物体(含目标点及障碍物)的空间三维坐标及方位角,并融合图像区分目标物和障碍物,还可根据吊钩/吊载的运动趋势,结合动态路径修正算法实现臂架21的自动避障。
另外,根据三维场景地图的粗定位值,臂载随动感知装置1可控制臂载云台使相机自动跟随至作业目标位置,通过焦距拉伸提取作业目标高清图像区域块,并进行作业目标图像块特征提取。根据作业目标粗定位值解算成臂架21回转/变幅动作,而后启动自动吊,控制云台使相机镜头垂直朝下,跟踪吊钩及吊钩垂直投影点。相机视场与精准定位粗判定区域交叠时或作业目标进入相机视场,启动相机进行目标特征检测及精准定位。
在一些具体实施方式中,臂载随动感知系统还可包括处理装置17,处理装置17用于控制臂载云台动作以使得场景检测单元能够以预设摆动角对作业区域进行旋转扫描。该处理装置17分别与臂载云台和场景检测单元通讯,可以网口形式进行数据交互通讯。具体地,处理装置可被配置为:
获取臂架21的作业位姿;
根据臂架21的作业位姿控制俯仰机构14动作,以使得旋转轴线调节至垂直于地平面;
控制摆动机构11和旋转机构12动作,以使得场景检测单元以预设摆动角绕旋转轴线进行旋转扫描。
因相机和激光雷达151的视场角较小,利用摆动机构11和旋转机构12实时调整激光雷达151和相机的光轴摆动方向可扩大相机和激光雷达151的可检测范围。其中,处理装置可通过与臂架21的运动控制模块通信来自动获取臂架21的作业位姿的数据;或者,也可通过人工输入处理装置中。
可选地,处理装置17还被配置为:
根据场景检测单元的扫描数据、旋转机构12的动作数据以及摆动机构11的动作数据生成作业场景全局地图。
当臂架21静止时,控制旋转机构12执行旋转动作和控制摆动机构11逐步调整相机和雷达的扫描区域,可得到整个作业区域实际场景点云数据及图像,实现作业场景在线重建和生成作业场景全局地图。
可选地,处理装置17还被配置为:
根据臂架的作业场景尺寸确定场景检测单元绕旋转轴线旋转的总旋转周数和与各个旋转周次对应的摆动角。
其中,在根据臂架的作业场景尺寸确定场景检测单元绕旋转轴线旋转的总旋转周数和与各个旋转周次对应的摆动角时,处理装置通过结合臂架的作业场景尺寸和场景检测单元的视场角大小来确定出最大的摆动角,而后再结合该最大的摆动角和场景检测单元的视场角大小来确定出场景检测单元的旋转扫描参数。场景检测单元的旋转扫描参数包括场景检测单元绕旋转轴线旋转的总旋转周数和与各个旋转周次对应的摆动角。
此外,为了兼顾作业效率和设备成本,场景检测单元绕旋转轴线旋转的总旋转周数可设置为小于等于5。如图6所示,在场景检测单元的光轴朝下垂直于地平面时,场景检测单元旋转扫描可得到以光轴在地平面的垂直交点为圆心的圆锥形扫描区域的扫描数据;如图7所示,在调节摆动角使得场景检测单元的光轴倾斜于地平面时,场景检测单元旋转扫描可得到环绕旋转轴线布置的双锥环形扫描区域的扫描数据;不同摆动角的所有旋转周数的扫描区域的扫描数据拼接起来可得到整个作业区域的扫描数据。
另外,对于根据场景检测单元的扫描数据、旋转机构12的动作数据以及摆动机构11的动作数据生成作业场景全局地图的步骤,该步骤包括:
获取场景检测单元的扫描数据、旋转机构12的动作数据以及摆动机构11的动作数据;
结合旋转机构12的动作数据和摆动机构11的动作数据对扫描数据进行处理和拼接,以生成作业场景全局地图。
其中,场景检测单元的扫描数据包括雷达获取的点云数据,将点云数据进行坐标转换和拼接,可构建整个作业区域的作业场景全局地图。在本次构建作业场景全局地图完成后,控制旋转机构12和摆动机构11回正,使得场景检测单元的光轴垂直于地平面,并可根据作业场景全局地图的构建质量判断是否需要重新构建作业场景全局地图。若不需要,可直接控制臂载云台动作使得下一个作业目标进入场景检测单元的视场,并定位作业目标以进行后续的路径规划和吊装作业;若需要,可控制臂载随动感知装置1重新开始扫描作业。
此外,对于控制摆动机构11和旋转机构12动作,以使得场景检测单元以预设摆动角绕旋转轴线进行旋转扫描的步骤,该步骤可包括:
确定场景检测单元的当前旋转周次,控制摆动机构11动作以调节与当前旋转周次对应的摆动角;
控制旋转机构12以预设旋转角度间隔和预设时间周期间隔驱动场景检测单元旋转,直至场景检测单元在当前旋转周次旋转一周;
确定场景检测单元已完成最后一周的旋转扫描,控制场景检测单元停止扫描。
其中,在控制旋转机构12以预设旋转角度间隔和预设时间周期间隔驱动场景检测单元旋转,直至场景检测单元在该旋转周次旋转一周的子步骤中,处理装置控制旋转机构12每间隔预设时间周期旋转预设旋转角度,而后获取场景检测单元的扫描数据,直至旋转机构12驱动场景检测单元在当前旋转周次旋转360°以扫描完一圈。例如,预设旋转角度可为15°至30°,可优选为20°;预设时间周期可为0.5秒至3秒,可优选1秒至2秒。具体地,在任意一个旋转周次中,可控制旋转机构12每旋转预设旋转角度后,停顿预设时间周期,而后再继续旋转,直至完成该旋转周次的360°旋转扫描。如此,可使得点云数据更加密集,从而更有利于提升作业场景全局地图的构建质量。
具体地,如图4所示,以平行于臂架21的变幅方向的轴为Y轴,垂直于臂架21的变幅方向并与地平面平行的轴为X轴,垂直于地平面的轴为Z轴。当臂架21伸缩或变幅和臂架21扭转时,激光雷达和相机在X轴方向和Y轴方向倾斜角度发生变化。通过实时获取第三角度传感器和第四角度传感器在X、Y轴向倾斜角度值,然后控制臂载云台动作,实现激光雷达和相机的光轴角度的调整。
如图5所示,在臂架21的初始状态,臂架21全缩(未展开),臂载云台的角度传感器与地平面保持平行,第三角度传感器和第四角度传感器的初始状态角均为0°,Y轴与变幅方向保持平行。
当作业机械开启云台自调整控制线程进入展臂步骤时,实时读取第三角度传感器和第四角度传感器在X、Y轴向的第一倾斜角度值和第二倾斜角度值及臂尖对地高度,并根据臂载云台初始姿态角进行控制角度计算,并通过臂载云台的SDK控制俯仰角、横滚角及相机焦距的自调整,使雷达和相机的视场中轴线始终垂直于地平面。
激光雷达与相机视场中轴线垂直朝下控制方法:当臂架21幅长(变幅或缩/展臂的情况)发生变化,相机镜头角度随着倾斜,同时,第三角度传感器和第四角度传感器实时检测到X轴向的第一倾斜角度值∝x和Y轴向的第二倾斜角度值∝y,∝x为臂架与地平面之间的夹角为α时的横滚机构13在X轴向的第一倾斜角度值,∝y为臂架与地平面之间的夹角为α时的俯仰机构14在Y轴向的第二倾斜角度值。处理装置通过CAN总线从车载控制器来实时获取角度值。臂架21在初始状态(未抬升)时,∝x=0°、∝y≠0°。当臂架21展臂(伸臂及变幅)且仅∝y发生变化时,控制臂载云台的旋转角P控制量、俯仰角T控制量分别为:P=0°、T=∝y。如臂架21在X轴方向发生扭转,则∝x≠0°,控制臂载云台的横滚角R控制量为:R=∝x,即可完成雷达与相机视场中轴线垂直朝下控制,相机和雷达的像平面坐标系与臂架设置的坐标系OXYZ的轴方向保持一致。当臂架21展臂完毕后,退出臂载云台自调整控制线程,并切换云台控制模式,使臂载云台进行自动旋转,控制雷达进行场景扫描,获取作业场景的三维点云数据。
其中,在控制雷达进行场景扫描,获取作业场景的三维点云数据时,当臂架21静止时,控制雷达和相机视场中轴线垂直于地平面,获取该时刻场景雷达点云数据和相机图像数据,如图6所示;控制臂载云台动作,使得相机/雷达旋转第i周的摆动角θ为预设摆动角θi(按扫描场景大小设置),并按等角度间隔逐步控制云台进行水平360°旋转一周,间隔时间周期为T1,如图7所示。而后,再对获取的点云数据坐标转换,可得到整个作业区域的吊装场景地图。
可选地,臂架的作业场景尺寸可根据臂架21的长度来确定,处理装置可通过自动获取臂架21的长度数据并根据内置算法换算来对应获得臂架的作业场景尺寸;或者,也可根据人工测量判定,并通过人工输入处理装置中,处理装置再根据内置算法换算来对应获得臂架的作业场景尺寸。
可选地,处理装置17还被配置为:
在臂架21展臂或变幅时,控制摆动机构11、横滚机构13以及俯仰机构14动作以使得场景检测单元的光轴垂直于地平面。
本申请第四方面还提供一种作业机械,该作业机械包括臂架21和上述的臂载随动感知系统,臂载随动感知系统的臂载随动感知装置1设置在臂架21上。由于该作业机械包括上述的臂载随动感知系统,因此也具备由该臂载随动感知系统带来的所有技术效果,因此不再重复赘述。
其中,作业机械可以是起重机,例如汽车起重机、履带式起重机或者动臂式塔式起重机等,也可以是泵车、高空作业车辆、消防车、臂架式作业机器人等其他作业机械。作业机械的动力可以是由新能源电池(例如锂电池或者氢燃料电池)、燃油发动机或者混合动力装置提供,或者,还可以是由市电提供等等,此处不做具体限定。
可选地,作业机械可设置两个臂载随动感知装置1,其中一个臂载随动感知装置1的场景检测单元包括相机或摄像头,另一个臂载随动感知装置1的场景检测单元包括雷达。或者,作业机械可仅设置一个臂载随动感知装置1,该臂载随动感知装置1的场景检测单元包括雷达和图像获取部件152,即雷达和图像获取部件152共用一个臂载云台,使得结构更加简单紧凑,设备成本更低。其中,图像获取部件152可为相机或摄像头。
可选地,如图4所示,臂载随动感知装置1设置在臂架21的臂尖上。
根据臂架21顶端结构特征、臂架21运动形式(变幅、回转、卷扬)、车身倾斜、臂架21扭转等情况,臂载随动感知装置存在旋转角、俯仰角、横滚角三个轴向的变化。为此,本申请的臂载云台为具有摆动机构11、旋转机构12、横滚机构13以及俯仰机构14的四轴云台,激光雷达151和相机集成设置在该臂载云台上。在臂架21展臂或变幅时,处理装置可通过采集各个角度传感器的角度值,通过控制摆动机构11、横滚机构13以及俯仰机构14动作来控制雷达和相机姿态的自调整,使场景检测单元的光轴垂直于地平面。当臂架21运动时,确保场景检测单元的光轴始终垂直于地平面,可实时监测吊载及吊钩周围的障碍并进行避障,以及利用相机进行作业机械就位目标的精准识别和位置检测,从而可根据作业机械的臂架21当前姿态以及目标位置的偏差,为智能吊装的精准就位提供支撑。
可选地,如图4所示,作业机械还包括人机交互装置22,人机交互装置22用于接收和显示场景检测单元采集的图像,并获取用户针对图像的目标选择操作。处理装置与人机交互装置22通信并还被配置为:
控制旋转机构12和摆动机构11动作以使得作业目标进入场景检测单元采集的视场中;
接收目标选择操作并根据目标选择操作确定作业目标在作业场景全局地图中的位置。
其中,人机交互装置22可以包括显示屏,该显示屏可以显示场景检测单元采集的图像,该显示屏可以为触摸显示屏,从而用户可以通过点选全景图像中作业目标所在的位置进行目标选择操作。可以理解的是,目标选择操作也可以通过其他方式实现,例如也可以通过与显示屏连接的外围设备选择图像中作业目标所在的位置。处理装置17与人机交互装置22通信,并具备图像处理功能,该处理装置17可以从场景检测单元接收采集的图像并传输至人机交互装置22进行显示,并接收用户针对图像的目标选择操作,以根据该目标选择操作确定作业目标在作业场景全局地图中的位置。如此,作业机械的操作人员可以通过人机交互装置22直观地查看实际吊装场景,从而无需指挥人员协同指挥,降低了人工成本。并且通过根据用户对图像的目标选择操作自动确定作业目标的位置,可以实现作业机械的自动作业定位,从而降低操作人员的操作强度与熟练度,提高工作效率。
进一步地,处理装置17还可被配置为:
根据臂架21的当前状态和作业目标在作业场景全局地图中的空间位置,进行作业路径规划和安全计算。
更进一步地,在开启智能吊装功能后,臂架21按照作业路径规划动作,当臂架21运动快靠近作业目标时,处理装置还可被配置为:
控制臂载云台动作以使得场景检测单元的光轴垂直于地平面,并在作业目标进入场景检测单元采集的视场中时,对作业目标进行识别和二次定位。
其中,二次定位为精准定位,有利于实现作业机械的自动化和智能化作业。
此外,当吊钩接近作业目标时,此时吊钩与作业目标的距离在设定阈值范围内,可视为本次随动感知作业完成,而后可根据工况进入下一次的随动感知作业。在下一次的随动感知作业开始时,可先判断是否需要重新构建作业场景全局地图。若需要重新构建作业场景全局地图,可在展臂完成后,控制臂载随动感知装置1重新开始扫描作业;若不需要重新构建作业场景全局地图,可直接控制臂载云台动作使得下一个作业目标进入场景检测单元的视场,并定位作业目标以进行后续的路径规划和吊装作业。

如图8所示,以下将以起重机为例对本申请的臂载随动感知装置1的控制流程进行简要阐述:
1、如图5所示,起重机的臂架21在展臂之前,起重机的臂架21处于平行与地平面。对臂载随动感知装置1上电,获取臂载云台的初始状态。其中,臂载云台的初始状态包括旋转角、摆动角、俯仰角和横滚角。
2、起重机的展臂步骤:如图6所示,实时控制摆动机构11、横滚机构13以及俯仰机构14以调整摆动角、俯仰角以及横滚角,使得场景检测单元的光轴垂直于地平面。在展臂完成后,起重机的臂架21处于作业初始状态,此时,场景检测单元的光轴垂直于地平面。
3、场景扫描步骤:确定场景检测单元的当前旋转周次,控制摆动机构11动作以调节与当前旋转周次对应的摆动角,控制旋转机构12以预设旋转角度间隔和预设时间周期间隔驱动场景检测单元旋转,直至场景检测单元在当前旋转周次旋转一周,确定场景检测单元已完成最后一周的旋转扫描,控制场景检测单元停止扫描。
4、根据扫描获取的雷达点云和相机图像,进行作业场景的三维重建,生成作业场景全局地图。
5、生成作业场景全局地图后,控制摆动机构11和旋转机构12动作来调整摆动角和旋转角,以使得雷达和相机的光轴垂直于地平面。此时,可判断是否需要重新构建作业场景全局地图,若需要,重新进入场景扫描步骤;若不需要,则进入作业目标初次定位步骤。
6、作业目标初次定位步骤:控制摆动机构11和旋转机构12动作来调整摆动角和旋转角,以使得作业目标(起吊物或就位点)进入相机视场,在相加图像中点选作业目标,并计算获取作业目标在作业场景全局地图中的空间位置。
7、完成作业目标的定位后,控制摆动机构11、横滚机构13、俯仰机构14和旋转机构12动作来调整摆动角、横滚角、俯仰角和旋转角,以回正雷达和相机视场并使得雷达和相机的光轴垂直于地平面。并且,根据起重机的臂架21当前状态和作业目标空间位置,自动进行作业路径规划和安全计算。
8、开启智能吊装功能,控制臂架21按规划的作业路径动作。此过程中,需实时控制摆动机构11、横滚机构13和俯仰机构14动作来调整摆动角、横滚角和俯仰角,以使得雷达和相机的光轴垂直于地平面。
9、当臂架21运动快靠近作业目标,作业目标进入雷达和相机视场内后,基于雷达和相机对作业目标进行自动识别及二次定位(精准定位)。在此过程中,也需实时控制摆动机构11、横滚机构13和俯仰机构14动作来调整摆动角、横滚角和俯仰角,以使得雷达和相机的光轴垂直于地平面。
10、当吊钩接近作业目标且吊钩与作业目标之间的距离在设定阈值范围内时,视为此作业完成。
11、在上一个作业完成后并进入下一个作业流程时,可判断是否需要重新构建作业场景全局地图,若需要,重新进入场景扫描步骤;若不需要,则进入作业目标初次定位步骤。若在上一个作业完成后,不需要再进入下一个作业流程时,此时可结束作业。
综上所述,本申请的臂载随动感知装置1、臂载随动感知系统以及作业机械具有可四轴运动控制的臂载云台,将相机和雷达等传感器安装于该臂载云台上,可实现相机雷达水平方向360的旋转、变幅方向和与变幅方向垂直的左右方向的倾角控制,并在臂架21变幅、回转动态过程中可保持相机和雷达的光轴垂直朝下。此外,本申请的臂载云台、臂载随动感知装置、作业机械和车辆可实现相机雷达不同摆动角下的旋转扫描,从而可实现大作业范围的大视野监控与三维重建;也可当臂架21运动过程中,不管臂架21是否有横滚变形,均保持相机雷达垂直朝下的姿态,从而实现吊钩吊载的监控以及吊钩吊载运动过程中周边障碍的实时检测,且有助于保证场景检测区域的覆盖度。另外,本申请的臂载云台、臂载随动感知装置、臂载随动感知系统应用于例如起重机的作业机械时,可实现臂载随动式三维重建、障碍检测、目标跟随等,为起重机实现自动吊装、智能吊装提供技术基础,使起重机的“眼睛”功能得到保障。
