Abstract

The invention discloses an odometer method and device for sports equipment; the odometer method comprises: acquiring current pose of sports equipment, current second laser frame and a local point cloud map; calculating according to the current pose, the second laser frame and the local point cloud map to obtain a current optimal pose; and other steps. In the odometer method, initial relative exercise amount and pose are acquired through the number of turns of a coded disc, laser inter-frame matching is performed by means of iterative nearest neighbor algorithm and the like, and accurate relative exercise amount and pose are acquired accordingly; the pose acquired in the above step is used as an initial value to perform matching on the laser frame and the local point cloud map so as to obtain more accurate pose and exercise amount that are then output. The odometer device provided herein enables the poor precision and accumulative error defects of an existing odometer to be overcome, and is applicable to general or special computing system environments or configurations.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sports equipment, in particular to an odometer method and an odometer device for the sports equipment. Background technique

[0002] When a mobile robot moves in an indoor environment, the odometer information is the most basic information of the robot's motion state. A robot's odometry is a method that uses actuator movement data to estimate how much a robot's pose has changed over time. This pose change can be obtained by encoders and inertial navigation sensors. The traditional encoder estimating method only uses the accumulation of internal sensor information to obtain mileage information. For example, a robot is equipped with rotary encoders at its wheels or leg joints. When it moves forward for a period of time, it wants to know the approximate distance. Moving distance, with the help of a rotary encoder, the number of turns the wheel rotates can be measured, and if the circumference of the wheel ...

[0105] Step S210: Obtain the current pose of the sports device, the current second laser frame after excluding laser dynamic points, and the local point cloud map.

[0106] A local probability grid map is introduced, and the probability value of the probability grid map is used as the basis for deleting dynamic points. Map the second laser frame to the local probability grid map. If the probability value of the grid where the laser point is located is less than the lowest probability value of the static grid, it is a dynamic grid, that is, the laser points in the grid are all dynamic laser points. Specifically, the following steps are included:

[0107] Step S211: Obtain the position coordinates of the laser point in the local probability grid map in the second laser frame according to the pose at the...
