[0060] It should also be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other. The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

This technical solution can improve the accuracy of high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data, thereby avoiding problems such as image recognition errors, position parsing errors, incorrect creation of high-precision map data, and redundant creation of high-precision map data caused by directly using the collected data, thus greatly improving the data quality of high-precision map data.

[0062] Figure 1 The flowchart showing a method for discriminating traffic image recognition results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is as Figure 1 shown. The traffic image recognition result discrimination method includes the following steps S101 - S104:

[0063] In step S101, at least two traffic images are acquired, and the at least two traffic images are recognized to obtain a traffic element data set composed of the traffic element data included in the at least two traffic images. Among them, the traffic element data includes: traffic element category, traffic element content, and traffic element position;

[0064] In step S102, the traffic element data set is processed to obtain a high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set;

[0065] In step S103, non-noise discrimination is performed on the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set to obtain the non-noise data in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set;

[0066] In step S104, noise discrimination is performed on the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data remaining in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set except for the non-noise data to obtain the traffic image recognition result discrimination result.

[0067] As mentioned above, with the development of society and the progress of science and technology, more secure and efficient autonomous driving technology has been recognized as one of the future directions of the automotive travel industry, and many autonomous driving behaviors rely on high-precision map data. In order to improve the update frequency of high-precision map data and reduce the update cost of high-precision map data, the prior art uses the data collected by traffic image acquisition vehicles to update high-precision map data. However, due to the low accuracy of the collected data, there may be errors in image recognition and position parsing. If the collected data is directly used to update high-precision map data, problems such as incorrect creation of high-precision map data and redundant creation will occur, thereby reducing the quality of high-precision map data.

[0068] In view of the above problems, in this embodiment, a method for discriminating traffic image recognition results is proposed. This method performs noise recognition by means of the data collected by a traffic image acquisition vehicle and the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data obtained after processing. This technical solution can improve the accuracy of high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data, and thus avoid problems such as image recognition errors, position parsing errors, high-precision map data creation errors, and high-precision map data creation redundancy caused by directly using the collected data, thereby greatly improving the data quality of high-precision map data.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for discriminating traffic image recognition results can be applied to computers, computing devices, electronic devices, servers, service clusters, etc. for reconstructing traffic sign vector models.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the traffic image refers to an image of a traffic scene collected by a traffic image acquisition vehicle and containing one or more traffic elements. Among them, the traffic image acquisition vehicle can be a dedicated traffic image acquisition vehicle or a crowdsourcing traffic image acquisition vehicle with other functions; the traffic elements can be, for example: ground arrows, lane lines, speed limit strips, zebra crossings, traffic signs, traffic lights, etc.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the traffic element data refers to data related to the traffic elements. The traffic element data can include, for example, one or more of the following data: traffic element category, traffic element content, and traffic element position. Among them, the traffic element category refers to the category to which the traffic element belongs. The traffic element category can be, for example: ground arrows, solid lane lines, dashed lane lines, speed limit strips, zebra crossings, traffic lights, turning and straight-ahead signs, speed limit signs, no-entry signs, etc. Among them, the traffic element content refers to the specific content contained in the traffic element. For example, if the category of the traffic element is a speed limit sign, the content of the traffic element can be the specific speed limit marked on the speed limit sign. Among them, the traffic element position refers to the physical space position where the traffic is located. For example, the traffic element position can be represented by the longitude, latitude, and altitude data where the traffic element is located. If the traffic element is a point, its position can be represented by the longitude, latitude, and altitude data of the point. If the traffic element is an object with a certain projected area, its position can be represented by the average longitude, latitude, and altitude data of all the points that make up the object.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, considering that the traffic element data recognized from the traffic images directly collected by the vehicle may have low accuracy and low accuracy rate, therefore, the traffic element data included in the traffic element data set can be processed, processed, and produced to obtain a traffic element data set composed of high-precision, high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data. Among them, the high-precision traffic element data and the standard-precision traffic element data have different accuracies, different granularities, and different data collection frequencies. Among them, processing, processing, and producing high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data from the source data belongs to the technology that those skilled in the art should widely master, and will not be elaborated here. For example, the processing, processing, and production may include data denoising, data interpolation, data filling, data format standardization, extraction of traffic element data, and the like.

[0073] In the above embodiment, first, at least two traffic images are obtained, and then the at least two traffic images are recognized to obtain a traffic element data set composed of the traffic element data included in the at least two traffic images. Among them, each traffic image may include at least one traffic element, so there will be multiple traffic elements in at least two traffic images. All the traffic element data obtained by recognizing at least two traffic images can form a traffic element data set; then the traffic element data set is processed to obtain a high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set; then the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set are first subjected to non-noise discrimination to obtain the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data belonging to non-noise in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set; then the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data remaining in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set except the non-noise data are subjected to noise discrimination again, and finally the discrimination result of the traffic image recognition result is obtained, that is, which of the traffic image recognition results are misrecognized noise data and which are correctly recognized non-noise data.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, step S103, that is, the step of performing non-noise discrimination on the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set, may include the following steps:

[0075] Determine the matching degree between the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set, where the matching degree includes traffic element category matching degree, traffic element content matching degree, and traffic element position matching degree;

[0076] Determine whether there is high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set whose matching degree is higher than a preset matching degree threshold;

[0077] If it exists, determine that the traffic element data with a matching degree higher than the preset matching degree threshold is non-noise data.

[0078] In this embodiment, by determining whether there is consistent high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data in the high-precision traffic element data set and / or the standard-precision traffic element data set, the non-noise discrimination of the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is performed. Specifically, the matching degree between each high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set can be calculated first. It should be noted that the calculation of the matching degree is within the scope of the same-precision traffic element data set, that is, the matching degree between each high-precision traffic element data in the high-precision traffic element data set and the matching degree between each standard-precision traffic element data in the standard-precision traffic element data set are calculated respectively. That is, the matching degree can include the traffic element category matching degree, the traffic element content matching degree, and the traffic element position matching degree between high-precision traffic element data and / or between standard-precision traffic element data. Among them, the calculation of the matching degree can be implemented by using the data matching degree algorithm in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here; then the calculated matching degree is compared with the preset matching degree threshold. The data with a matching degree higher than the preset matching degree threshold can be considered not to be isolated individual data in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set, and thus it can be considered that the data is not noise data. Among them, the preset matching degree threshold can be set according to the actual application needs, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations on it.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S104, the step of performing noise discrimination on the remaining high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set except the non-noise data may include the following steps:

[0080] Determine whether the remaining high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is one of the traffic element category recognition error noise, the traffic element content recognition error noise, and the traffic element position recognition error noise;

[0081] If it is determined that the remaining high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is one of the traffic element category recognition error noise, the traffic element content recognition error noise, and the traffic element position recognition error noise, then determine that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is noise data.

[0082] In this embodiment, noise discrimination is performed on the data after non-noise discrimination to obtain the final traffic image recognition result discrimination result. Specifically, for the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data remaining in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data set except for the non-noise data, discrimination of traffic element category recognition error noise, traffic element content recognition error noise, or traffic element position recognition error noise is performed respectively. If the remaining high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is discriminated as one of traffic element category recognition error noise, traffic element content recognition error noise, and traffic element position recognition error noise, it can be determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is noise data.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of determining whether the remaining high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is traffic element category recognition error noise may include the following steps:

[0084] Determine whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the preset correspondence requirement between the traffic element category and the traffic element content;

[0085] Determine whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the first nearby data consistency requirement;

[0086] If it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the preset correspondence requirement, and / or does not meet the first nearby data consistency requirement, it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is traffic element category recognition error noise.

[0087] In this embodiment, the traffic element category recognition error noise is recognized by means of preset rule requirements and nearby data consistency requirements. That is, determine whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the preset correspondence requirement between the traffic element category and the traffic element content, that is, the preset rule requirement. For example, the preset correspondence requirement between the traffic element category and the traffic element content may be: the category of a traffic element with content containing words such as "ramp" should be "speed limit sign", the category of a traffic element with content containing words such as "exit" and "km" should be "exit sign", etc. If the category of a traffic element with content containing the word "exit" is "speed limit belt", it can be determined that the category of this traffic element is incorrect and does not meet the preset correspondence requirement; then determine whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the first nearby data consistency requirement; if the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the preset correspondence requirement, and / or does not meet the first nearby data consistency requirement, it can be determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is traffic element category recognition error noise.

[0088] Further, the step of determining whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the first nearby data consistency requirement may include the following steps:

[0089] Determine whether the proportion of data with the same category in the traffic element data corresponding to the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is higher than a first preset proportion threshold, and whether the average acquisition frequency is higher than a first preset frequency threshold;

[0090] If the proportion of data with the same category in the traffic element data is lower than the first preset proportion threshold, and / or the average acquisition frequency is lower than the first preset frequency threshold, it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the first consistency requirement;

[0091] Determine whether there is data with the same traffic element content but different traffic element categories in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data within a first preset range;

[0092] If there is data with the same traffic element content but different traffic element categories in the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data within the first preset range, it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the second consistency requirement;

[0093] If it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the first consistency requirement and / or the second consistency requirement, it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the first nearby data consistency requirement.

[0094] In this embodiment, the consistency requirements are respectively discriminated for the traffic element data before processing and the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data obtained after processing. When the two do not meet at least one consistency requirement, it can be determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the first nearby data consistency requirement.

[0095] Specifically:

[0096] For the traffic element data before processing, that is, the traffic element data corresponding to the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data, calculate the proportion of data with the same category in the traffic element data and the average data collection frequency. Then compare the proportion of data with the same category with a first preset proportion threshold and compare the average data collection frequency with a first preset frequency threshold. If the proportion of data with the same category is lower than the first preset proportion threshold, it is considered that there are fewer data of the same category in the traffic element data and there may be an error in traffic element category recognition. If the average data collection frequency is lower than the first preset frequency threshold, it indicates that there may be errors in data collection. Therefore, if the proportion of data with the same category is lower than the first preset proportion threshold, and / or the average data collection frequency is lower than the first preset frequency threshold, it is considered that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the first consistency requirement. Among them, the first preset proportion threshold and the first preset frequency threshold can be set according to the actual application needs, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations on them.

[0097] For the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data obtained after processing, determine whether there are data with the same traffic element content but different traffic element categories among the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data within a first preset range. If so, it is considered that there may be errors in the recognition of these data categories, that is, it can be determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the second consistency requirement. Among them, the first preset range can be set according to the actual application needs, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations on it.

[0098] Finally, if it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the first consistency requirement and / or the second consistency requirement, it can be considered that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the first adjacent data consistency requirement.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of determining whether the remaining high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is noise with incorrect traffic element content recognition may include the following steps:

[0100] Determine whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the content rationality requirement;

[0101] Determine whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the second adjacent data consistency requirement;

[0102] If it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the content rationality requirement and / or does not meet the second adjacent data consistency requirement, then determine that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is noise with incorrect traffic element content recognition.

[0103] In this embodiment, the recognition of traffic element content recognition errors and noises is performed by means of preset content rationality requirements and nearby data consistency requirements. That is, it is determined whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the content rationality requirements. For example, the content rationality requirements may be, for example, that the content of traffic elements with categories of "speed limit sign", "height limit sign", "width limit sign", and "weight limit sign" should be a number within a preset numerical range. For example, if the content of a traffic element with the category of "speed limit sign" is "2.6m", it can be considered that the content recognition of this traffic element is incorrect and does not meet the content rationality requirements. It should be noted that for traffic elements with the category of "electronic speed limit", the judgment of whether they meet the content rationality requirements is not performed.

[0104] Then it is determined whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the second nearby data consistency requirements; if the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the content rationality requirements and / or does not meet the second nearby data consistency requirements, it can be determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is traffic element content recognition error noise.

[0105] Further, the step of determining whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the second nearby data consistency requirements may include the following steps:

[0106] Determine whether the proportion of data with the same content in the traffic element data corresponding to the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is higher than the second preset proportion threshold, and whether the average acquisition frequency is higher than the second preset frequency threshold. If the proportion of data with the same category in the traffic element data is lower than the second preset proportion threshold and / or the average acquisition frequency is lower than the second preset frequency threshold, it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the second nearby data consistency requirements.

[0107] In this embodiment, the consistency requirements are discriminated for the traffic element data before processing. If the traffic element data before processing does not meet the corresponding consistency requirements, it can be determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the second nearby data consistency requirements.

[0108] Specifically:

[0109] For the traffic element data before processing, that is, the traffic element data corresponding to the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data, calculate the proportion of data with the same content in the traffic element data and the average data collection frequency. Then compare the proportion of data with the same category with a second preset proportion threshold, and compare the average data collection frequency with a second preset frequency threshold. If the proportion of data with the same category is lower than the second preset proportion threshold, it is considered that there is less data with the same content in the traffic element data, and there may be an error in traffic element content recognition. If the average data collection frequency is lower than the second preset frequency threshold, it indicates that there may be errors in data collection. Therefore, if the proportion of data with the same content is lower than the second preset proportion threshold, and / or the average data collection frequency is lower than the second preset frequency threshold, it is considered that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the second nearby data consistency requirement.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of determining whether the remaining high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is traffic element position recognition error noise may include the following steps:

[0111] Determine whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the third nearby data consistency requirement;

[0112] If it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the third nearby data consistency requirement, then determine that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is traffic element position recognition error noise.

[0113] In this embodiment, the traffic element position recognition error noise is recognized by means of the nearby data consistency requirement. That is, determine whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the third nearby data consistency requirement. If the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the third nearby data consistency requirement, then it can be determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is traffic element position recognition error noise.

[0114] Further, the step of determining whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the third nearby data consistency requirement may include the following steps:

[0115] Cluster the traffic element data corresponding to the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data according to the distance between them to obtain two or more clustering groups. Determine whether the traffic element data meets the third consistency requirement according to the number of data included in the clustering groups and the distance between different clustering groups;

[0116] Determine the distance between high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data with the same category within a second preset range. If the distance is higher than a preset distance threshold, determine that the traffic element data does not meet the fourth consistency requirement;

[0117] If it is determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the third consistency requirement and the fourth consistency requirement, determine that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the third nearby data consistency requirement.

[0118] In this embodiment, the distance between traffic element data is used to determine whether the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data meets the third nearby data consistency requirement. Specifically, first calculate the distance between the traffic element data corresponding to the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data, then cluster the distances to obtain two or more clustering groups. According to the number of data contained in the clustering groups and the distance between different clustering groups, it can be determined whether the traffic element data meets the third consistency requirement. For example, if the number of data contained in a certain clustering group is small, lower than a preset number threshold, or the distance between a certain clustering group and other clustering groups is far, farther than the preset distance threshold, it indicates that the data in this clustering group may have a position recognition error, that is, it does not meet the third consistency requirement; then calculate the distance between high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data with the same category within a second preset range. If the distance is higher than the preset distance threshold, it indicates that these data may have a position recognition error, and it can be determined that the traffic element data does not meet the fourth consistency requirement; if it is finally determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the third consistency requirement and the fourth consistency requirement, it can be determined that the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data does not meet the third nearby data consistency requirement.

[0119] Figure 2 Show the overall flowchart of the traffic image recognition result discrimination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 2As shown, when discriminating the traffic image recognition result, the obtained traffic images are recognized to obtain a traffic element dataset, and then the traffic element dataset is processed to obtain a high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element dataset. Then, non-noise discrimination is performed on the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data, that is, it is determined whether there is high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data with a matching degree higher than a preset matching degree threshold. If so, the data is determined to be non-noise data. Then, noise discrimination is performed on the remaining high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data except the non-noise data, that is, it is determined whether the remaining high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is one of the traffic element category recognition error noise, traffic element content recognition error noise, and traffic element position recognition error noise. If so, the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data is determined to be noise data, and finally the traffic image recognition result discrimination result is obtained.

[0120] The following is an embodiment of the apparatus of the present disclosure, which can be used to execute the embodiment of the method of the present disclosure.

[0121] Figure 3 The structural block diagram of a traffic image recognition result discrimination device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The device can be implemented as part or all of an electronic device through software, hardware, or a combination of both. As Figure 3 shown, the traffic image recognition result discrimination device includes:

[0122] An identification module 301, configured to obtain at least two traffic images, and perform identification on the at least two traffic images to obtain a traffic element dataset composed of traffic element data included in the at least two traffic images, where the traffic element data includes: traffic element category, traffic element content, and traffic element position;

[0126] As mentioned above, with the development of society and the progress of science and technology, autonomous driving technology with higher safety and efficiency has been recognized as one of the future directions of the automotive travel industry, and many autonomous driving behaviors rely on high-precision map data. In order to improve the update frequency of high-precision map data and reduce the update cost of high-precision map data, in the prior art, the acquisition data collected by traffic image acquisition vehicles is used to update high-precision map data. However, due to the low precision of the acquisition data, errors may occur in image recognition and position parsing. If the acquisition data is directly used to update high-precision map data, problems such as incorrect creation of high-precision map data and redundant creation will occur, thus reducing the quality of high-precision map data.

[0127] Considering the above problems, in this embodiment, a traffic image recognition result discrimination device is proposed. This device performs noise recognition by using the data collected by traffic image acquisition vehicles and the high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data obtained after processing. This technical solution can improve the accuracy of high-precision and / or standard-precision traffic element data, and thus avoid problems such as image recognition errors, position parsing errors, incorrect creation of high-precision map data, and redundant creation of high-precision map data caused by directly using acquisition data, thereby greatly improving the data quality of high-precision map data.
