Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automotive intelligent driving technology development, and particularly relates to a vehicle body alignment device and method suitable for calibrating an intelligent driving perception system. Background Art
[0002] In the development of intelligent driving technology, multi-sensor perception is involved, such as intelligent sensors like cameras, millimeter-wave radars, and lidar. All intelligent vehicles need to accurately calibrate the arranged cameras and radars, and the calibration accuracy will have an important impact on the final performance of the intelligent driving system. One of the prerequisites for achieving accurate calibration is that the coordinate systems of the vehicle body, camera, and radar have a high degree of unity and consistency. Ensuring the correct relative position between the vehicle body and the sensor calibration system is the basis and important prerequisite for the automatic driving sensor calibration system. Currently, the calibration systems of intelligent driving vehicles at home and abroad adopt active vehicle body adjustment facilities and methods, and achieve unity with the calibration device position by continuously correcting the vehicle position, which is expensive and requires high site requirements. Or adopt active vehicle body adjustment facilities and methods, and achieve unity with the calibration device position by continuously correcting the vehicle position through a rotatable and adjustable ground iron floor device, which is expensive and requires high site requirements.
[0003] In some related technologies, when calibrating the whole vehicle with sensors such as cameras, it mainly relies on the subjective judgment of the calibration personnel to ensure the relative position accuracy of the vehicle and the calibration board.
[0004] The first step: within a pre-set ground square, through the experience judgment of the operator, move the vehicle to make its position as straight as possible within the calibration frame drawn on the ground;
[0005] The second step: place the calibration board, and it is necessary to ensure that the calibration board is aligned with the sensor to meet the requirements of the relative position of the sensor calibration in terms of height and lateral direction. The prior art uses a meter stick to measure the distance and the measurement personnel subjectively judge whether it is aligned to achieve this.
[0006] However, it has the following problems:
[0007] (1) The method of achieving the vehicle being straightened within the specified square through the subjective feeling and experience of the operator, without the assistance of a special alignment tool, cannot ensure the placement accuracy.
[0008] (2) Using a meter stick to measure and the way of manual observation to determine the relative position between the calibration board and the sensor cannot guarantee the accuracy, cannot achieve high-precision lateral and longitudinal adjustment as required, and this scheme has a large error, affecting the performance of automatic driving.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0039] A vehicle body alignment device and method suitable for calibrating an intelligent driving perception system to solve the problems of unable to ensure the accuracy of the vehicle placement position in the related art and the cost problem brought by using expensive equipment.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 1, A vehicle alignment device suitable for calibrating an intelligent driving perception system, which includes: two first brackets 1, two second brackets 3, and two beam emitters 4;
[0041] The two first brackets 1 are respectively located on both sides of the vehicle 6 in the width direction, and the top is provided with a mounting plane. The first bracket 1 extends along the length direction of the vehicle 6, and two reflection scales 2 are respectively located at both ends of the first bracket 1 on its mounting plane;
[0042] The second bracket 3 extends along the width direction of the vehicle 6 and is connected to the two first brackets 1 to form an alignment frame body with a placement space inside;
[0043] The beam emitter 4 is used to be installed on the vehicle 6 located in the placement space and is used to emit beams to both ends of the first bracket 1 so that the beams hit the reflection scales 2; wherein the installation of the beam emitter 4 needs to ensure that the installation is not inclined and is always parallel to the vehicle body central axis. One beam emitter 4 emits two coaxial beams, and the beams are straight beams; the two beams are located in the same plane, that is, this plane is on the plane in the width direction of the vehicle 6.
[0044] Through the above structural settings, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 3 form an alignment frame body. The first bracket 1 is provided with reflection scales 2. When in use, the vehicle 6 is placed in the alignment frame body, and then it is judged whether the scales on the reflection scales 2 hit by the light emitted by the beam emitter 4 installed on the vehicle 6 at both ends of the first bracket 1 are the same, so as to ensure that the distance between the first bracket 1 and the vehicle body is always equal. This distance is like the mark H in the figure. Then the position of the first bracket 1 is fixed, and the second bracket 3 is connected to the first bracket 1; during the above vehicle alignment process, it is ensured that the alignment frame body is always unified with the coordinates of the vehicle 6 itself, so that calibration can be carried out without the vehicle 6 having to stop in the specified parking frame, and even when the vehicle 6 is parked obliquely, it is also possible, without being restricted by the site; at the same time, the formed alignment frame body can provide an installation position for the sensor calibration plate 5, and the coordinate systems of the vehicle 6 and the sensor calibration plate 5 are unified, without the need to perform coordinate system conversion and compensation through complex algorithms, reducing the error transmission link. More importantly, it does not require expensive and complex equipment, greatly reducing the test cost.
[0045] In some preferred embodiments, the following settings are made for the scales on the reflection scales 2:
[0046] First, the reflection scale 2 is provided with a first scale extending in the width direction of the vehicle 6; this above way is the best way, so that the distance between the first bracket 1 extending in the length direction of the vehicle 6 and the vehicle 6 can be visually seen. As long as the scales where the light beams on the two reflection scales 2 are located are equal, it means that the first bracket 1 on this side has completed the orthotropic calibration. In addition, since different vehicle models have different distances from the first bracket 1, at this time, the orthotropic frame body also has the effect of being applicable to a variety of different vehicle models, so as to expand its applicable range.
[0047] Second, the reflection scale 2 is provided with a second scale extending in the height direction of the vehicle 6; in this implementation manner, the light beam hitting the reflection scale 2 is used to ensure whether the two ends of the first bracket 1 are on the same straight line. After adjusting to be on the same straight line; the naked eye is used to judge whether the light beam is parallel to the vehicle body central axis. Obviously, this method has errors compared with the first method. Of course, this application does not exclude this method.
[0048] Furthermore, in the first method, there is a situation where the two ends of the first bracket 1 are not on the same straight line. The reason may be that the flatness of the bottom surface is not high. At this time, adjustment is required. Therefore, the following settings are made for the first bracket 1:
[0049] The first bracket 1 includes two support rods fixed to the bottom surface and a top rod; the top of the support rod is provided with a telescopic component; the two support rods are located at both ends in the length direction of the top rod and are connected to the top rod through the telescopic component. By adjusting the telescopic component, the two ends of the first bracket 1 are located on the same straight line. The telescopic component is an existing structure that can be telescoped and is selected according to needs, such as a telescopic sleeve structure or a lead screw mechanism.
[0050] Such a structure makes it convenient to adjust the first bracket 1, and at the same time further reduces the requirement for the flatness of the bottom surface during calibration.
[0051] Furthermore, to facilitate the connection between the second bracket 3 and the first bracket 1, the second bracket 3 adopts a straight rod, and both ends of the straight rod are detachably connected to both ends of the top rod through a connecting piece; the connecting piece includes a connecting elbow, and the connecting elbow adopts a 90-degree elbow, which can refer to the structure in the field of pipeline connection; the connecting elbow makes the connection simple, convenient and stable; of course, this application does not exclude other detachable connection forms, such as pin connection, snap connection, threaded connection, etc.
[0052] In some preferred embodiments, the vehicle body alignment device applicable to the calibration of the intelligent driving perception system further includes a sensor calibration plate 5 disposed on the alignment frame; the sensor calibration plate 5 can move on the alignment frame and can be vertically adjusted by itself to meet the required position. The sensor calibration plate 5 is of an existing structure and has a structure for vertical adjustment, and no further explanation will be given here.
[0053] In this embodiment, to facilitate the determination of the position of the sensor calibration plate 5, both the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 3 are provided with a third scale in their own length directions. Through the setting of the third scale, the sensor calibration plate 5 can be horizontally and longitudinally adjusted with high precision along the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 3, so that the coordinate systems of the vehicle 6 and the sensor calibration plate 5 are unified. There is no need to perform coordinate system conversion and compensation through complex algorithms, reducing the error transmission link. More importantly, it does not require expensive and complex equipment, greatly reducing the test cost.
[0054] Among them Figure 1 The installation position of the upper sensor calibration plate 5 only gives one form of implementation, and the installation position of the sensor calibration plate 5 changes continuously according to actual needs.
[0055] In some preferred embodiments, the beam emitter 4 uses a laser emitter or an infrared emitter; a spirit level is provided on the mounting seat of the laser emitter or the infrared emitter; the most preferred way is a laser emitter, which is an instrument for accurately measuring the distance to a target using a laser. When the laser ruler works, it emits a very thin laser beam towards the target. The laser beam reflected by the target is received by a photoelectric element, and a timer measures the time from the emission to the reception of the laser beam, and calculates the distance from the observer to the target. The beam generated by it is a kind of light with very pure color, highly concentrated energy and good directivity.
[0056] The setting of the spirit level makes the installation of the beam emitter 4 more accurate and convenient for adjustment. The spirit level uses a scale with a bubble, or it can also be a spirit level of other structures. The spirit level is a common measuring tool for measuring small angles. In the machinery industry and instrument manufacturing, it is used to measure the inclination angle relative to the horizontal position, the flatness and straightness of the guide rails of machine tool equipment, the horizontal position and vertical position of equipment installation, etc. According to the different shapes of the spirit level, it can be divided into: universal spirit level, cylindrical spirit level, integrated spirit level, mini spirit level, camera spirit level, frame spirit level, ruler spirit level; according to the fixing method of the level gauge, it can be divided into: adjustable spirit level and non-adjustable spirit level.
[0057] The present application also proposes a vehicle calibration method applicable to the intelligent driving perception system, which includes the following steps:
[0058] Provide the vehicle alignment device applicable to the calibration of the intelligent driving perception system described above;
[0059] Place the vehicle 6 on an open field with a flat bottom surface, and then install the beam emitter 4 on the vehicle 6; Place the two first brackets 1 on both sides of the vehicle 6 in the width direction, and use the beam emitted by the beam emitter 4 and the reflection scale 2 to make the two first brackets 1 parallel to the vehicle body central axis and maintain an equal distance; Fix the positions of the two first brackets 1 and install the second bracket 3 to form an alignment frame body, and ensure that the vehicle 6 is always centered within the placement space;
[0060] During the above vehicle body alignment process, ensure that the alignment frame body is always unified with the coordinates of the vehicle 6 itself, so that calibration can be carried out without the vehicle 6 having to stop within the specified parking frame. Even if the vehicle 6 is parked obliquely, it is also possible, without being restricted by the site; At the same time, the formed alignment frame body can provide an installation position for the sensor calibration plate 5, and the coordinate systems of the vehicle 6 and the sensor calibration plate 5 are unified. There is no need to perform coordinate system conversion and compensation through complex algorithms, reducing the error transmission link. More importantly, it does not require expensive and complex equipment, greatly reducing the test cost.
[0061] Further, the reflection scale 2 is provided with a first scale extending in the width direction of the vehicle 6;
[0062] Using the beam emitted by the beam emitter 4 and the reflection scale 2 to make the two first brackets 1 parallel to the vehicle body central axis and maintain an equal distance; includes the following steps:
[0063] Read the reading of the beam emitted by the beam emitter 4 on the first scale on one of the first brackets 1; Adjust this first bracket 1 to make the readings on the two reflection scales 2 the same, and complete the calibration of this first bracket 1; Calibrate the other first bracket 1 according to the above steps.
[0064] The principle of this application:
[0065] (1) This technical solution can perform calibration without the vehicle 6 having to stop within the specified parking frame. Even if the vehicle 6 is parked obliquely, it is also possible, without being restricted by the site, so that the calibration frame and the vehicle body can be quickly aligned, solving the problem of excessive position error between the vehicle 6 being straightened and the calibration bracket.
[0066] (2) The first bracket 1 and the second bracket 3 are both provided with a third scale in their own length directions. Through the setting of the third scale, the sensor calibration plate 5 can be adjusted horizontally and vertically with high precision along the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 3, so that the coordinate systems of the vehicle 6 and the sensor calibration plate 5 are unified. There is no need to perform coordinate system conversion and compensation through complex algorithms, reducing the error transmission link. More importantly, it does not require expensive and complex equipment, greatly reducing the test cost.
[0067] (3) The front-position frame formed by this technical solution can provide an installation position for the sensor calibration plate 5, unifying the coordinate systems of the vehicle 6 and the sensor calibration plate 5, eliminating the need for complex algorithms for coordinate system conversion and compensation, and reducing the error transmission link.
