Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of relative navigation measurement of space targets, and in particular to an accuracy evaluation method for a laser radar non-cooperative target relative posture measurement system. Background Art

[0002] The process of using LiDAR to estimate the target pose is related to the specific usage scenario and changes with the change of the scenario. If the applicable conditions and application scenarios of the system are not determined first, the system cannot be evaluated. The performance of the LiDAR relative pose measurement system depends on the quality of the sensor data, the processing algorithm, the viewing angle, the environmental conditions, and also on the geometric characteristics of the target being measured in the LiDAR field of view. In order to evaluate its performance, the performance indicators of specific systems are increasingly valued by measuring them through external methods. When designing a LiDAR relative pose measurement system for non-cooperative targets, it is necessary to establish a performance evaluation technical framework for LiDAR systems for relative navigation of non-cooperative targets, and provide evaluation solutions and technical support for the system design and development of LiDAR space non-cooperative target relative navigation measurement systems. Summary of the invention

Evenly arrange three or more target markers in the overlapping fields of view of the laser radar and the ground-based three-dimensional laser scanner, obtain the three-dimensional point cloud data of the target markers in the laser radar and the ground-based three-dimensional laser scanner, manually extract the target marker point cloud and fit the marker center;

[0010] S1.2. Measure the three-dimensional coordinates P of the marker in the coordinate system of the two devices LRF and P SRF, through the seven-parameter coordinate transformation method, the relative rotation matrix between the two devices is obtained and the translation matrix T.

[0011] Furthermore, the seven-parameter coordinate transformation method model formula of step S1.2 is as follows:

[0012]

[0013] Among them, (X1, Y1, Z1) is the coordinate of the marker point in the laser radar measurement coordinate system, and (X2, Y2, Z2) is the coordinate of the marker point in the ground laser scanner measurement coordinate system; the formula contains three translation parameters (ΔX, ΔY, ΔZ), three rotation parameters (ε x ,ε y ,ε z ) and a scale parameter m, which is a kind of similarity transformation; in order to solve the 7 parameters, at least 3 pairs of common points are required, and the Gaussian least squares method is used to solve it:

[0014]

[0015] T=[ΔX ΔY ΔZ] T .

[0016] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S2 are as follows:

[0017] S2.1. After step S1 is completed, keep the position and posture of the laser radar and the ground 3D laser scanner unchanged. Place the target model on the six-degree-of-freedom movable platform in front of the laser radar line of sight, and affix the special logo sticker for the ground laser 3D scanner;

[0018] S2.2. Design different relative positions and postures of target models. Under each set of posture parameter conditions, use laser radar to perform multiple frame repeated posture measurements on the target model and record the posture measurement results.

[0019] S2.3, use the ground 3D laser scanner to accurately scan the target model landmarks under the current posture conditions, and record the center coordinates of the landmarks; since the 3D coordinates of the landmarks in the target model coordinate system are known, the seven-parameter coordinate transformation method is also used to transform the coordinates between the laser 3D scanner and the target body coordinate system. Solution;

[0020] S2.4, pose reference value calculation; after relative relationship calibration, the above pose results are converted to the laser radar measurement coordinate system, and the pose reference value is

[0021] Compared with the prior art, this solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. This solution uses a high-precision, high-density ground laser scanner to establish accurate laser radar exterior orientation elements through calibration field three-dimensional point cloud matching, and then measures the pose of the same target, thereby providing a high-precision target relative pose reference value to achieve accuracy evaluation of the laser radar pose measurement system. The method of this solution is simple to implement and can provide an evaluation solution and technical support for the system design and development of laser radar space non-cooperative target relative navigation measurement system.

[0023] 2. This scheme proposes a cooperative target pose measurement technology based on a high-precision terrestrial laser 3D scanner as a reference for the laser imaging radar pose measurement technology. Special target markers for the laser 3D scanner are arranged on the target surface. The high-precision laser 3D scanner automatically and precisely scans and extracts the center coordinates of the markers. The relative pose parameters of the target can be solved based on the marker coordinates. The relative relationship matrix between the laser radar and the terrestrial 3D laser scanner is combined to unify the measurement benchmark and form an evaluation benchmark value for the relative pose measurement value.
