Description

Technical Field

[0002] LiDAR plays a vital role in the field of autonomous driving. It is like the human eye and is an important perception "organ" for autonomous driving. Among the key performance indicators of multi-line LiDAR, angular resolution reflects the density of point clouds under the same projection area. The higher the angular resolution, the greater the density of the point cloud, and the better the ability to perceive the target and detect the environment. The field angle of view (FOV) is the size of the detectable range of the LiDAR. The larger the field angle, the larger the detectable range of the LiDAR. Generally, these two performances are given by LiDAR manufacturers, but there may be insufficient precision or errors in accuracy. At present, there is a lack of effective methods to test LiDAR performance. Summary of the invention

[0082] LiDAR manufacturers generally provide reference performance parameter values ​​for LiDAR, such as angular resolution, field of view, etc. However, the parameters provided by the manufacturer may be insufficiently precise or contain errors in accuracy. Currently, there is a lack of effective methods for testing LiDAR performance. Among them, the transmission beams of multi-line LiDARs may be unevenly distributed. For example, the transmission beams of some multi-line LiDARs on the vertical plane may be unevenly distributed. During the angular resolution test, each line needs to be tested. The test process is repetitive, the amount of calculation is large, manual measurement is difficult and time-consuming, and it is not suitable for R&D testing and production line testing needs. Therefore, automated testing is of great significance for product R&D iteration and selection.

[0083] The present application provides a multi-line laser radar performance test method and device. The laser radar is fixed by a connecting component and driven to rotate, so that the laser radar can measure the target through two transmitting beams respectively, so that the angle between the two transmitting beams can be determined according to the angle change value generated by the state change of the corresponding connecting component. It can test and obtain more accurate angular resolution and field of view of the laser radar.

[0084] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the testing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0085] like Figure 1The test device 100 shown includes a connecting component 110 and a control component 120. The connecting component can rotate around a vertical axis and a horizontal axis, or in other words, the connecting component can rotate in a horizontal plane with a point on the vertical axis as the rotation center, and the connecting component can rotate in a vertical plane with a point on the horizontal axis as the rotation center. The laser radar can be fixed to the connecting component and rotate with the connecting component. The control component is used to control the rotation of the connecting component. The test device 100 may also include a processing component, which is used to determine the angle between the laser radar's transmission beams according to the angle through which the connecting component is rotated. Optionally, the control component may include the processing component or the control component and the processing component are the same component. That is, the control component can realize the function of the processing component, that is, determine the angle between the laser radar's transmission beams according to the angle through which the connecting component is rotated. Alternatively, the processing component can realize the function of the control component, such as controlling the rotation of the connecting component.

[0086] The following is an introduction to the working principle of the test device provided in this application for testing the performance of lidar.

[0087] The test device provided in the present application is used to test the performance of a laser radar. Specifically, the test device can be used to test the angular resolution and field of view of the laser radar. When the test device is tested, the laser radar to be tested is fixed by a connecting component so that the laser radar can rotate with the connecting component. The test target object (hereinafter referred to as the target) is placed in a fixed position where the relative position to the rotation center of the connecting component remains unchanged. When measuring the angular resolution between two transmitting beams on the vertical plane of the laser radar, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate around the horizontal axis so that the laser radar can measure the target in sequence through the two transmitting beams. When measuring the angular resolution between two transmitting beams on the horizontal plane of the laser radar, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate around the vertical axis.

[0088] The following is a detailed description of the working principle of the test device for testing the angle between two transmitting beams on the vertical plane of the LiDAR.

[0089] The connecting component is used to fix the laser radar; the control component is used to control the connecting component to rotate from a first state to a second state, wherein when the connecting component is in the first state, the transmitting beam of the laser radar corresponding to the target is the first transmitting beam. When the connecting component is in the second state, the transmitting beam of the laser radar corresponding to the target is the second transmitting beam. During the period when the connecting component rotates from the first state to the second state, the relative position between the target and the rotation center of the connecting component remains unchanged. The processing component determines the angle between the first transmitting beam and the second transmitting beam according to a first angle, and the first angle is the angle change value caused by the rotation of the connecting component from the first state to the second state.

[0090] It should be noted that the multiple emission beams of the laser radar on the vertical plane irradiate the back plate or target to form multiple points spaced apart on the vertical line, and each point corresponds to one emission beam, or the multiple emission beams of the laser radar on the vertical plane irradiate the back plate or target to form multiple horizontal lines spaced apart in the vertical direction, and one horizontal line corresponds to one emission beam of the laser radar on the vertical plane, and the horizontal line corresponding to one emission beam is formed by the point cloud of the emission beam. Among them, the vertical plane of the laser radar refers to the plane containing the vertical axis of the laser radar.

[0091] The horizontal plane of the laser radar refers to the plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of the laser radar (i.e., perpendicular to the vertical plane of the laser radar). The multiple emission beams of the laser radar on the horizontal plane irradiate the back plate or target to form multiple points spaced apart on the horizontal line, and each point corresponds to a emission beam, or the multiple emission beams of the laser radar on the horizontal plane irradiate the back plate or target to form multiple vertical lines spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and a vertical line corresponds to an emission beam of the laser radar on the horizontal plane, and the vertical line corresponding to an emission beam is formed by the point cloud of the emission beam.

[0092] Optionally, the first transmitting beam and the second transmitting beam are two transmitting beams of the laser radar on the horizontal plane, and the connecting component rotates around a point on the vertical axis of the connecting component as the rotation center; or, the first transmitting beam and the second transmitting beam are two transmitting beams of the laser radar on the vertical plane, and the connecting component rotates around a point on the horizontal axis of the connecting component as the rotation center.

[0093] The test device can control the connecting component to rotate with a point on the vertical axis of the connecting component as the rotation center through the control component, or in other words, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate around the vertical axis of the connecting component, so as to measure the angular resolution between two adjacent transmitting beams on the vertical plane of the laser radar (that is, the first transmitting beam and the second transmitting beam can be two adjacent transmitting beams on the vertical plane), and obtain a more accurate vertical angular resolution of the laser radar. The test device can also control the connecting component to rotate with a point on the horizontal axis of the connecting component as the rotation center through the control component, or in other words, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate around the horizontal axis of the connecting component, so as to measure the angular resolution between two adjacent transmitting beams on the horizontal plane of the laser radar (that is, the first transmitting beam and the second transmitting beam can be two adjacent transmitting beams on the horizontal plane), and obtain a more accurate horizontal angular resolution of the laser radar. The test device can also measure the field of view angle of the laser radar in the vertical plane or in the horizontal plane (that is, the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B can be the first transmitting beam and the last transmitting beam in the vertical plane, respectively, or the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B can be the first transmitting beam and the last transmitting beam in the vertical plane, respectively) to obtain a more accurate range that the laser radar can detect in the vertical plane or in the horizontal plane.

[0094] Below we first Figure 2 The working principle of the test device provided by the present application for measuring the angle between two transmitting beams on the vertical plane of the laser radar is described in detail as an example. The working principle of the test device for measuring the angle between two transmitting beams on the horizontal plane of the laser radar is similar to the working principle of testing the angle between two transmitting beams on the vertical plane. Figure 6 The working principle of the test device provided in the present application for testing the angle between two emission beams on the horizontal plane of the laser radar is briefly introduced by taking an example. However, the present application is not limited thereto.

[0095] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the test device provided in this application for testing the angle between two transmitting beams on the vertical plane of a laser radar.

[0096] For example Figure 2 As shown, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate around the horizontal axis of the connecting component. Specifically, when measuring the angle between the transmitting beam A (i.e., an example of the first transmitting beam) and the transmitting beam B (i.e., an example of the second transmitting beam) of the laser radar, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate from state A (i.e., an example of the first state) to state B (i.e., an example of the second state), wherein state A corresponds to the target and the transmitting beam of the laser radar is the transmitting beam A (or the laser radar measures the target through the transmitting beam A), and state B corresponds to the target and the transmitting beam of the laser radar is the transmitting beam B (or the laser radar measures the target through the transmitting beam B). The processing component is used to record the angle change value θ generated by the connecting component rotating from state A to state B around the horizontal axis (or the angle θ rotated from state A to state B around the horizontal axis), i.e., the first angle, and determine the angle between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B according to the angle θ.

[0097] Optionally, the control component may specifically control the connecting component to be in state B after the connecting component rotates N times from state A.

[0098] In one embodiment, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate from state A along the direction of the transmitting beam A to the transmitting beam B by a second angle each time, and the connecting component is in state B after N rotations.

[0099] For example, when the connecting component is in state A, the control component controls the connecting component to first rotate a second angle along the direction of the transmitting beam A to the transmitting beam B, and the processing component determines whether the laser radar has detected the target. If the target is not detected, the control component continues to control the connecting component to rotate a second angle; if the connecting component detects the target after one rotation, the current state of the connecting component is state B, and the processing component controls the connecting component to rotate the second angle according to the number N times the control component controls the connecting component, and the processing component can determine that the angle θ rotated by the connecting component from state A to state B is N times the second angle, but the present application is not limited to this.

[0100] As an example and not limitation, the second angle is a preset value, or the second angle is related to a reference angular resolution, wherein the reference angular resolution may be a reference value of the angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B of the laser radar provided by the laser radar manufacturer.

[0101] The second angle may be a preset angle value less than the angular resolution of the laser radar, the second angle may be stored in the test device, the second angle may be read by the processing component, and the control component obtains the second angle from the processing component. Alternatively, the processing component may obtain a reference value of the angular resolution provided by the manufacturer of the laser radar, and obtain the reference angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B therefrom, and use the second angle less than the reference angular resolution as the angle of each rotation of the connecting component, and the control component obtains the second angle from the processing component.

[0102] Optionally, the processing component may determine the second angle according to a preset coefficient q, 0<q<1.

[0103] For example, after the processing component obtains the reference angular resolution δ between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B, it determines that the second angle is q×δ. In a specific implementation, the second angle can be an approximate value of q×δ, such as the second angle is the rounded-up value of q×δ, or the rounded-down value, rounded to X decimal places, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0104] In another embodiment, the control component first controls the connecting component to rotate from state A along the direction of transmitting beam A to transmitting beam B at intervals of a third angle, wherein the third angle is less than the reference angular resolution between transmitting beam A and transmitting beam B. If the connecting component detects a target by beam B of the laser radar after the Lth rotation, in the L+1 rotation, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate the transmitting beam B to the direction of transmitting beam A by a third angle. In other words, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate (i.e., rotate in the opposite direction to the original direction) by a third angle. Starting from the L+2 rotation, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate at intervals of a fourth angle until the transmitting beam B of the laser radar detects the target. At this time, the state of the connecting component is the second state, wherein the connecting component rotates a total of N-(L+1) times at intervals of the fourth angle, and the fourth angle is less than the third angle.

[0105] In this embodiment, in order to save energy, the control component may first control the connection component to rotate at a larger interval angle (i.e., the third angle) that is smaller than the reference angular resolution to detect the approximate position of the transmission beam B (since the transmission beam B has a certain width, the target may not be the boundary of the transmission beam B). After obtaining the approximate position of the transmission beam B, the control component controls the connection component to retreat a third angle and continue to rotate toward the beam B at a smaller angular interval, that is, to approach the beam B at a smaller interval angle, so as to obtain the boundary of the beam B and measure the angular resolution between the transmission beam A and the transmission beam B more accurately.

[0106] In another embodiment, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate from state A each time at an angle related to the number of rotations, that is, the angle of the nth rotation is p of the reference angular resolution δ. n times until the laser radar detects the target. Where 0<p<1.

[0107] For example, The control component controls the first rotation of the connecting component If the laser radar detects the target, the rotation stops and the current state of the connecting component is state B; if the laser radar does not detect the target, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate in the second rotation. If the laser radar detects the target, the rotation stops. If the laser radar does not detect the target, the control component continues to control the connection component to rotate, and rotates in the nth rotation. Until the laser radar detects the target, the processing component determines state B, but the present application is not limited to this.

[0108] In this embodiment, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate at a decreasing angle, so that the boundary of the transmitting beam B can be obtained and the angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B can be measured more accurately.

[0109] In another embodiment, the control component controls the connection component to rotate each time in the first K rotations, which is related to the number of rotations. For example, the angle of the kth rotation in the first K rotations is p of the reference angular resolution δ. k times, k≤K. If the laser radar still fails to detect the target after K rotations, the control component controls the connection component to rotate at intervals of the fifth angle starting from K+1 rotations until the laser radar detects the target. The fifth angle is less than p K .

[0110] In this embodiment, the control component first controls the connection component to rotate at a decreasing angle. After reaching a certain rotation accuracy, it rotates at a fixed rotation interval angle to obtain the boundary of the transmitting beam B and measure the angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B more accurately.

[0111] In the above embodiment, the angle of the nth rotation can be p of the reference angular resolution δ. n The approximate value of the kth rotation is p times the reference angular resolution δ. k The approximate value of times may be rounded up, rounded down, rounded off, or approximated to a certain decimal place, and the present application does not limit this.

[0112] After the control component controls the connecting component to rotate from state A to state B, the processing component determines the angle θ that the connecting component rotates around the horizontal axis from state A to state B. The processing component determines the angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B based on the angle θ. In one embodiment, the angle θ can be used as the angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B.

[0113] Optionally, the processing component determines the angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B according to the angle θ, the distance a from the rotation center R of the connecting component to the projection of the target on the same horizontal plane, and the distance b from the laser radar center S to the rotation center R of the connecting component.

[0114] For example Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the rotation center R of the connecting component and the radar center R is b, and the minimum distance between the rotation center R of the connecting component and the projection of the target on the same horizontal plane is a. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the connecting component rotates from state A to state B (i.e., rotates through an angle θ), the center S of the laser radar rotates from s1 to s2. Therefore, the angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B is The following calculation relationship is satisfied:

[0115]

[0116] The processing unit can determine the angle between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B according to the calculation relationship. However, the application is not limited thereto. Figure 5 is another schematic structural diagram of the test device provided in this application. The rotation center of the connecting component is on the vertical axis, and the processing component can determine the angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B in the above manner. However, the present application is not limited thereto. In a specific implementation, the rotation center of the connecting component can be consistent with the center of the laser radar, so that the angle θ that the connecting component rotates from state A to state B is the angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B. This application does not limit this.

[0117] Among them, the laser radar center can be obtained through measurement or determined according to the instructions provided by the laser radar manufacturer, but this application does not limit this.

[0118] Optionally, the processing component can measure the distance, such as the processing component can measure the minimum distance a between the rotation center R of the connecting component and the projection of the target on the same horizontal plane. Alternatively, the testing device further includes a distance measuring component for measuring the distance. For example, the minimum distance a between the rotation center R of the connecting component and the projection of the target on the same horizontal plane is measured. The distance measuring component can be a total station, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0119] The control component described in the present application controls the connection component to rotate until the laser radar detects the target. For example, the connection component rotates from state A to state B. According to one of the above embodiments, the control component controls the connection component to rotate at a certain angle from the transmission beam A to the transmission beam B until the laser radar detects the target through the transmission beam B. Specifically, in one embodiment, rotating until the laser radar detects the target through the transmission beam B can mean that after one rotation, the laser radar detects the target for the first time through at least I points in the point cloud corresponding to the transmission beam B. In other words, measuring the target through the transmission beam B means measuring the target through at least I points in the point cloud corresponding to the transmission beam B.

[0120] For example, I=1, after each rotation, the laser radar and the transmitter corresponding to the transmission beam B transmit at least one frame of signal to form a horizontal point cloud line corresponding to the transmission beam B. After one rotation, if at least one point in the horizontal point cloud line corresponding to the transmission beam B measures the target, it means that after this rotation, the laser radar measures the target through the transmission beam B, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0121] For another example, I>1, after each rotation, the laser radar and the transmitter corresponding to the transmission beam B transmit at least one frame of signal to form a horizontal point cloud line corresponding to the transmission beam B. Wherein, after one rotation, if less than I points in the horizontal point cloud line corresponding to the transmission beam B measure the target, the rotation continues until the laser radar measures the target through at least I points corresponding to the transmission beam B for the first time, indicating that after this rotation, the laser radar measures the target through the transmission beam B, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0122] Optionally, I is a preset value, or I / X×100% is greater than or equal to a preset value C.

[0123] Optionally, when the laser radar detects the target through the transmitting beam B, the target can be measured by at most Y points in the point cloud corresponding to the transmitting beam B. When the laser radar measures the target through I points corresponding to the transmitting beam B, it means that the laser radar measures the target through the transmitting beam B, where I / Y×100% is greater than or equal to the preset value E.

[0124] For example, after the control component controls the connecting component to rotate each time, the laser radar transmits 1000 frames of signals, and each frame of signals forms 100 points. Then the point cloud of the transmitting beam B formed by the 1000 frames of signals includes 10 5 When the laser radar detects a target through the transmission beam B, at most 20 points can be used to measure the target in each frame of signal (the specific number of points that can be used to measure the target is related to the width of the target on the horizontal plane, which is not limited in this application). Therefore, at most 2×10 4 If the preset value E is 90%, then after one rotation, if the laser radar first measures 2×10 4 If more than 90% of the points in the laser radar detect the target, it means that the laser radar detects the target through the transmission beam B, but the present application is not limited to this. The above introduces the working principle of the test device provided by the present application for measuring the angular resolution between two transmission beams on the vertical plane of the laser radar. According to the above working principle, the test device can measure the angular resolution between each two adjacent transmission beams of the laser radar, so as to determine the angular resolution performance of the laser radar.

[0125] In one embodiment, the control component controls the connection component to rotate so that the laser radar can measure the target in sequence starting from the first transmitting beam to the last transmitting beam on the vertical plane.

[0126] Among them, the first transmitting beam and the last transmitting beam of the laser radar on the vertical plane can be the first transmitting beam and the last transmitting beam in the clockwise direction, or the first transmitting beam and the last transmitting beam in the counterclockwise direction.

[0127] The angular resolution between each two adjacent transmitting beams between the first transmitting beam and the last transmitting beam on the vertical plane of the laser radar can be measured by the testing device according to the implementation method described above.

[0128] Optionally, the test device can determine the first transmitting beam of the laser radar on the vertical plane in the following manner. The laser radar is fixed to the connecting component. When the test device starts to measure the first transmitting beam of the laser radar on the vertical plane (for example, transmitting beam A is the first transmitting beam on the vertical plane, and transmitting beam B is the second transmitting beam on the vertical plane), the control component controls the connecting component to rotate along the direction from transmitting beam B to transmitting beam A at intervals of the sixth angle until the laser radar is in the third state, which is the state of the connecting component relative to the state of the laser radar when it last measured the target, and the angle of the connecting component is greater than the seventh angle. Optionally, the sixth angle is less than the minimum reference angular resolution between two adjacent transmitting beams of the laser radar, and the seventh angle is greater than the maximum reference angular resolution between two adjacent transmitting beams of the laser radar.

[0129] For example, after the laser radar is fixed to the connecting component, the control component needs to find the first transmitting beam (i.e., transmitting beam A) on the vertical plane. The control component controls the connecting component to rotate along the direction from transmitting beam B to transmitting beam A at intervals of the sixth angle to find the first transmitting beam on the vertical plane, until the processing component determines that the connecting component is rotated to a state relative to the state of the connecting component when the laser radar last measured the target, and the angle of the connecting component is greater than the seventh angle. The seventh angle can be set to a larger angle, such as twice the maximum reference angle resolution of the laser radar, but the present application is not limited to this. The processing unit is able to determine that the target last measured by the above-mentioned laser radar was measured by the first transmitting beam, but the present application is not limited to this.

[0130] The processing component can obtain the reference angular resolution between each two adjacent transmitting beams of the laser radar provided by the laser radar manufacturer. The minimum value of the reference angular resolution between each two adjacent transmitting beams is the minimum reference angular resolution between two adjacent transmitting beams of the laser radar, and the maximum value of the reference angular resolution between each two adjacent transmitting beams is the maximum reference angular resolution between two adjacent transmitting beams of the laser radar.

[0131] Optionally, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate from the third state along the direction from the transmitting beam A to the transmitting beam B at intervals of a third angle until the laser radar measures the target after the Mth rotation. Optionally, the third angle may be a preset value, or the third angle may be less than a reference angular resolution between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B, and M is a positive integer.

[0132] In one embodiment, the processing component can determine that the target measured by the laser radar after the Mth rotation is measured by transmitting the beam A, that is, the connecting component is in state A after the Mth rotation.

[0133] In another embodiment, after the connecting component rotates for the Mth time, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate by a third angle in the direction from the transmitting beam B to the transmitting beam A in the M+1th rotation. Afterwards, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate at intervals of a fourth angle until the laser radar detects the target, and the processing component determines that the connecting component is currently in state A, that is, the laser radar detects the target through the first transmitting beam (i.e., transmitting beam A) on the vertical plane. The fourth angle is smaller than the third angle.

[0134] After the test device measures the first transmitting beam on the vertical plane, the angular resolution between each two adjacent transmitting beams of the laser radar from the first transmitting beam to the last transmitting beam on the vertical plane can be measured according to the working method of the test device in the previous article for measuring the angular resolution between two adjacent transmitting beams of the laser radar, thereby measuring the angular resolution performance of the laser radar on the vertical plane.

[0135] When the testing device provided in the present application measures the field of view angle of the laser radar on a vertical plane, it may include but is not limited to the following two implementations.

[0136] In one embodiment, after the testing device measures the angular resolution between every two transmitting beams of the laser radar in the vertical plane, the processing component can sum the angular resolution between every two adjacent transmitting beams from the first transmitting beam to the last transmitting beam to obtain the field of view angle of the laser radar in the vertical plane.

[0137] In another embodiment, the testing device directly measures the angle between the first transmitting beam and the last transmitting beam of the laser radar on the vertical plane.

[0138] For example, the test device can obtain the working mode of the first transmitting beam of the laser radar through the above measurement, and determine the first transmitting beam and the last transmitting beam. The processing component records the two states of the connecting component when the laser radar measures the target through the first transmitting beam and the last transmitting beam in the vertical direction, and determines the angle of the connecting component from one state to another state, and determines the field of view angle of the laser radar on the vertical plane according to the angle, but the present application is not limited to this.

[0139] When the test device provided in the present application measures the angular resolution between two angles on the horizontal plane of the laser radar, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate around the vertical axis, for example Figure 6As shown, the control component controls the connection component to rotate around the vertical axis. When the laser radar detects the target through the transmission beam C, the connection component is in state C. When the laser radar detects the target through the transmission beam D, the connection component is in state D. The processing component determines the angular resolution between the transmission beam D and the transmission beam C according to the angle η that the connection component rotates from state C to state D. The working principle of the test device for measuring the angular resolution and field of view angle on the horizontal plane of the laser radar is similar to the working principle of measuring the angular resolution and field of view angle on the vertical plane in the previous text. You can refer to the description in the previous text. For the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0140] In this application, when measuring the angular resolution between two emission beams on a vertical plane, the width of the test target object (i.e., the target) on the vertical plane needs to satisfy that the laser radar can only measure the target through one emission beam on the vertical plane at the same time. When measuring the angular resolution between two emission beams on a horizontal plane, the width of the test target object on the horizontal plane needs to satisfy that the laser radar can only measure the target through one emission beam on the horizontal plane at the same time.

[0141] Optionally, the test target object may be a reflective strip, and the reflection intensity of the reflective strip is a first value.

[0142] In a real-time mode, after one rotation, the laser radar's transmitting beam measures a reflection intensity of 255 for the first time, indicating that the laser radar has detected the target through the transmitting beam.

[0143] For example, the connecting component rotates from state A to state B. After one rotation, the laser radar measures the reflection intensity of 255 for the first time through the transmitting beam B, indicating that the laser radar detects the target through the transmitting beam B, but the present application is not limited to this.

[0144] In another embodiment, when the test target object is a reflective strip, the reflection intensity measured by a transmission beam of the laser radar is a second value, indicating that the laser radar measures the target through the transmission beam. The difference between the first value and the second value is less than or equal to the preset value.

[0145] For example, the first value is 255, and the difference between the first value and the second value is specified to be less than or equal to the preset value 40. When the test device measures the angle between the transmitting beam A and the transmitting beam B, the control component controls the connecting component to rotate from the transmitting beam A to the transmitting beam B each time, and the laser radar transmits 1000 frames of signals corresponding to the transmitting beam B, and each frame of the signal forms 100 points. Then, the point cloud of the transmitting beam B formed by the 1000 frames of signals includes 10 5When the laser radar detects a target through the transmission beam B, at most 20 points can be used to measure the target in each frame of signal (the specific number of points that can be used to measure the target is related to the width of the target on the horizontal plane, which is not limited in this application). Therefore, at most 2×10 4 The target is measured by 2×10 4 If more than 90% of the points have a reflection intensity between 255±40, it means that the laser radar detects the target through the transmitting beam B. Then, after one rotation, if the laser radar passes 2×10 4 If the reflection intensity measured at more than 90% of the points is between 255±40, it means that the laser radar detects the target through the transmission beam B, but the present application is not limited to this. Optionally, the reflective strip is placed on a plane target, and the plane target is parallel to the plane formed by the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the connecting component. When the test device measures the angular resolution between two transmission beams on a vertical plane, the reflective strip is parallel to the horizontal axis of the connecting component. Alternatively, when the test device measures the angular resolution between two transmission beams on a horizontal plane, the reflective strip is parallel to the vertical axis of the connecting component.

[0146] In order to obtain more accurate angular resolution and field of view, it is necessary to ensure that there are no other objects with a reflection intensity of the first value in the measurement environment. Optionally, the width W of the reflective strip is specified to meet

[0147]

[0148] Where D is the minimum distance from the center S of the laser radar to the plane target, and α is the reference minimum angular resolution of the laser radar. The width of the reflective strip is specified to ensure that when measuring the angular resolution on the horizontal plane, the laser radar can only measure the target through one emitting beam on the horizontal plane at the same time, and / or, when measuring the angular resolution on the vertical plane, the laser radar can only measure the target through one emitting beam on the vertical plane at the same time.

[0149] The test device provided in this application can test and obtain relatively accurate angular resolution and field of view of the laser radar. It can also realize the automated measurement of the laser radar performance, reduce labor costs and time costs, and is suitable for R&D testing and production line testing.

The multi-line radar performance test method can be executed by a test device or a module configured in the test device (such as a chip).
