Problems solved by technology

However, the existing ultrasonic obstacle detection methods only improve the detection effect and efficiency by improving the performance characteristics of a single ultrasonic wave and the hardware installation method. The detection results are very rough, and the relative coordinates of the obstacle and the car cannot be obtained. The location of obstacles can be accurately positioned, and the environment modeling of obstacles cannot be carried out. Therefore, it cannot meet the needs of unmanned vehicle scenarios.

Embodiment 1

[0047] In a specific embodiment, such as figure 1 As shown, a flow chart of an obstacle positioning method is provided, and the method includes:

[0048] Step S10: installing at least two detectors on the vehicle body, each detector having a corresponding detection area.

[0049] Step S20: According to the installation positions of the detectors on the vehicle body and the detection areas corresponding to each detector, divide the overlapping areas.

[0050] Step S30: If an obstacle appears in the overlapping area, calculate the position of the obstacle according to the installation positions of the detectors forming the overlapping area.

[0051] In one example, the detectors can be installed at positions such as the front of the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle, and the side of the vehicle body. If detectors are installed on both sides in front of the car, good ultrasonic coverage and detection effect can be guaranteed. The detector can detect obstacles in the detection a...

Abstract

The present invention proposes an obstacle positioning method, device and terminal. The method includes installing at least two detectors on the vehicle body, and each detector has a corresponding detection area; according to the installation position of the detectors on the vehicle body and the The corresponding detection area is divided into an overlapping area; if an obstacle appears in the overlapping area, the position of the obstacle is calculated according to the installation positions of the detectors forming the overlapping area. Through the transformation of the number of detectors installed on the unmanned vehicle and the various combinations of the detection area of ​​the detector, the distribution of surrounding obstacles can be identified to the greatest extent, so that the unmanned vehicle can reasonably detect the surrounding obstacles according to the scene. driving plan.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic driving, in particular to an obstacle positioning method, device and terminal. Background technique [0002] At present, ultrasonic detectors are increasingly used in the field of autonomous driving. Existing mass-produced models are equipped with ultrasonic detectors, and the independent ranging function of the ultrasonic detectors is used to identify obstacles such as people and vehicles for panoramic observation of the surrounding area. Ultrasonic detectors can effectively feedback the distance between obstacles and unmanned vehicles. However, the existing ultrasonic obstacle detection methods only improve the detection effect and efficiency by improving the performance characteristics of a single ultrasonic wave and the hardware installation method. The detection results are very rough, and the relative coordinates of the obstacle and the car cannot be obtained. The position of the...
