Method and system for dynamic identification and location of charging pile based on Kinect

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for dynamic identification and location of a charging pile based on Kinect. The method comprises: the step 1: calculating a conversion matrix from acamera coordinate system to a setting world coordinate system according to three-dimensional point cloud data obtained by a Kinect sensor; the step 2: performing one-to-one alignment of pixels in a color map and a depth map; the step 3: removing invalid pixel points in an image obtained in the step 2, converting residual pixel points to three-dimensional spatial points and eliminating points higher than 50cm or lower than 3cm; the step 4: performing downsampling of point cloud obtained in the step 3 to reduce computing amount of follow-up processing, and performing radius filtering to remove outliers; the step 5: performing Euclidean cluster of the point cloud obtained in the step 4 to obtain one or more than one cluster objects; the step 6: processing the one or more than one cluster objects obtained in the step 5, and screening cluster objects having two feature planes; the step 7: processing a cluster body screened in the step 6, and calculating whether a geometrical relationship between two feature planes accords with a three-dimensional shape of a charging pile or not; and the step 8: performing calculation in geometry according to relative position of the two feature planes determined in the step 7, determining a position and an angle of deflection of the charging relative to an original point of the world coordinate system, and realizing location of the charging pile. The method and system for dynamic identification and location of charging pile based on the Kinect have the advantages of accurate recognition, strong robustness, stable dynamic tracking, less susceptible to light interference and the like, and the positioning of the target is small in calculation amount and accurate in calculation result, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mobile robots, in particular to a Kinect-based charging pile dynamic identification and positioning method and system. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of mobile robot technology, heavy and single physical labor in society, such as handling, inspection, etc., is gradually undertaken by various mobile robots. In order to further liberate the labor force and increase the degree of industrial automation, these mobile robots need to have the ability to automatically recharge. However, the existing autonomous positioning methods for robots are limited by sensors and environmental factors, and it is difficult to achieve the accuracy of autonomous charging, which puts forward requirements for accurate identification and positioning of charging piles by robots. [0003] In terms of sensors, industrial cameras and lidar are commonly used in robot vision systems for identification and posit...
