Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radar technology, and more specifically, to a three-dimensional velocity measurement device and method that integrates radar and video. Background Technology

[0002] There is a wide demand for the measurement of three-dimensional velocity of targets in many fields. The most common is the measurement of three-dimensional velocity of physical fields, such as "Simulation Analysis of Synchronous Measurement Technology of Three-Dimensional Velocity and Temperature of Light Field, Experimental Fluid Mechanics, 2021, 35(02), Wu Taofeng, Luan Yinsen et al.", "A Fluid Three-Dimensional Velocity Measurement System, CN201510825956.X, Xiong Bobo", "Three-Dimensional Velocity Measurement of Moving Particles Based on Single Lens Dual Camera, Journal of Engineering Thermophysics, 2017, 38(08), Jia Minhua, Zhou Wu et al.", "A Three-Dimensional Motion Velocity Measurement Method of Ocean Current and Current Meter Based on Time-Frequency Synchronization Principle, CN202210748488.0, Song Dalei, Liu Xiaoyuan et al.", and "A High-Precision Three-Dimensional Motion Velocity Measurement Method of Bodily Target, CN202111198580.6, Zheng Cuie, Sun Dajun et al.".

[0003] The literature “Analysis of problems in three-dimensional measurement by optical sectioning in reverse engineering, Journal of Xi’an Jiaotong University, 2001, 35(09), Wu Jianbo, Sang Bo et al” and “Research on three-dimensional imaging algorithm of interferometric inverse synthetic aperture radar, 2021, Doctoral dissertation, Harbin Institute of Technology, Rong Jiajia” proposed three-dimensional measurement of targets and objects, but not three-dimensional velocity measurement of flying targets or moving targets on the ground.

[0004] Three-dimensional velocity measurement of aerial or ground-moving targets is an important requirement for low-altitude surveillance or surface surveillance.

[0005] "A New Method for 3D Attitude Measurement of Flight Targets, Laser Technology, 2003, 27(03), Li Yongbin and Zhang Changbing" proposed a method to obtain more target attitude parameters by using digital image processing to establish feature points on the target image and combining them with a specific algorithm to obtain the target's pitch angle, yaw angle, roll angle, drift amount, and other 3D parameters. "Three-Dimensional Velocity Measurement Using a Dual Axis Millimeter-Wave Interferometric Radar, IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 2022, 70(30), 1674-1685, Jason Merlo, Eric Klinefelter, Jeffrey A. Nanzer" proposed to use interferometric radar to measure the three-dimensional velocity of the target. This method requires three receiving antennas and a single transmitter to form a three-dimensional velocity measurement device, which is relatively complex. The paper, “3-Beamlaser Doppler Velocity Meter for 3-D Velocity Measurement, 2016 IEEE 6th Int. Conf. on Photonics (ICP), 2016, pp. 1–3, Mikami O, and Fujikawa C,” utilizes three laser beams to measure the velocity of a target from three directions to obtain the target's three-dimensional velocity.

[0006] The paper "Three-Dimensional Velocity Measurement System and Method, CN202110829175.3, Zhong Yiming, Zhang Yi et al." calculates the velocity in different motion directions by setting different weighting coefficients for each antenna element on the array antenna module and separating the Doppler frequency shift of the target in different motion directions. The paper "A Method for Calculating Vehicle Speed ​​Using Three-Dimensional Measurement Technology, CN202110514471.4, Wang Jiakui, Li Gan" utilizes three-dimensional measurement technology to calculate vehicle speed, primarily targeting the field of intelligent transportation technology. The paper "A Synchronous Measurement Method and Device for Three-Dimensional Range and Velocity of LiDAR, CN202210391405.7, Xi Qingxin" proposes using LiDAR to measure the three-dimensional range and velocity of a target, but does not propose a method for measuring the three-dimensional velocity.

[0007] As can be seen from the methods described above, no three-dimensional velocity measurement system or method integrating radar and video has yet been proposed for surface surveillance and low-altitude surveillance applications. When using radar and video equipment to monitor and detect targets, especially low-altitude flying targets, it is necessary to measure the target's three-dimensional velocity and predict its future position based on this velocity. Radar can measure the radial velocity of a target relative to the radar using the Doppler method, but it cannot measure the target's lateral velocity. Electro-optical cameras can only provide information on the target's lateral movement angle, not its radial velocity. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention and how they solve the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0030] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0031] This invention provides a three-dimensional velocity measurement device that fuses radar and video images, comprising a radar, an optoelectronic device, a servo turntable, and an integrated control unit. The radar searches for a target and measures its radial velocity at a given moment using the Doppler frequency shift principle. The optoelectronic device measures the target's angular velocity at a given moment based on the horizontal and pitch rotation speeds of the optoelectronic servo turntable and the target information from the video image. The three-dimensional velocity information fusion processing board performs pixel analysis on the centroid or marker points of the target's two-dimensional image, calculating the two-dimensional angular velocity of that point projected onto a sphere at a certain distance. Then, using the range information R provided by the radar and the precise azimuth and elevation angle information provided by the optoelectronic equipment, the three-dimensional velocity information fusion processing board fuses the radar and optoelectronic measurement information to determine the target's spherical coordinate three-dimensional velocity. By converting between spherical and Cartesian coordinates, the three-dimensional velocity of the target in Cartesian coordinates can be obtained. .

[0032] The radar employs a linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFM) system, using separate transmit and receive antennas, signal generation and processing modules. It generates radar signals, which are transmitted via the transmitting module and transmitting antenna. The receiving antenna receives the signals, which are then processed by the signal processing module. The radar searches for and detects targets, using the Doppler frequency shift principle to measure the target's radial velocity at a given moment. After the radar detects a target, it hands over control to the optoelectronic equipment. This equipment includes a visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, and a laser illumination module. The visible light camera performs variable-focus imaging of the target, while the photosensitive camera records high-frame-rate image information. The laser rangefinder performs high-precision distance measurement of the target, and the laser illumination module provides supplemental lighting to the target at night or in low-light conditions, enabling the visible light camera to operate normally in low-light environments.

[0033] This method measures the angular velocity of the target over a short time interval by combining the horizontal and pitch rotation speeds of an optoelectronic servo turntable with target information from video images. A three-dimensional velocity information fusion processing board performs pixel analysis on the centroid or marker points of the target's two-dimensional image, considering the time of frame rate changes, decomposing it into horizontal and vertical pixel changes, thereby calculating the two-dimensional angular velocity of that point projected onto a sphere at a certain distance. .

[0034] The rotational speed of the target relative to the optoelectronic equipment consists of two parts: one is the rotational speed of the servo turntable, and the other is the converted rotational speed resulting from the change in the position of the target's imaging point or the center of gravity of the imaging point relative to the camera's center point. These two parts combine to form the target's rotational speed relative to the optoelectronic equipment. Then, using the distance information R provided by the laser rangefinder and the precise azimuth and elevation angle information provided by the optoelectronic equipment, a three-dimensional velocity information fusion processing board fuses the radar and optoelectronic measurement information to determine the target's spherical coordinate three-dimensional velocity. .

[0035] The conversion formula is as follows:

[0036] and formula

[0037] The three-dimensional velocity information in spherical coordinates can be converted into the three-dimensional velocity of the target in Cartesian coordinates at a certain moment. .

[0038] Measuring angular velocity perpendicular to the radial direction requires image processing across different frames, resulting in a certain delay. With a high frame rate, short measurement intervals, and high refresh rate, this delay can be controlled within a very small range, and the resulting three-dimensional velocity can be considered instantaneous.

[0039] The three-dimensional velocity measurement method proposed in this invention, which integrates radar and video data, comprises the following steps: Step 1: Use microwave radar to search for and track the target, and measure the target's radial velocity. ; Step 2: Activate the photoelectric tracking imaging function to confirm the target; Step 3: Use a laser rangefinder to measure the target distance R with high precision; Step 4: Using photoelectric tracking images, convert the relative position of the target with respect to the center of the lens image into an angular relationship between the target and the center of the lens image. Combine this with the angular information of the servo turntable relative to the calibrated 0-degree position to determine the target's angle. ; Step 5: The photoelectric camera images the target. After image processing, the change in the target's relative position to the center of the lens image is converted into the target's angular velocity relative to the center of the lens image. This angular velocity is then superimposed with the rotational speed of the servo turntable to determine the target's angular velocity. ; Step 6: Based on steps 1-5, use the 3D velocity signal processing board to obtain the target's 3D velocity in spherical coordinates. ; Step 7: Based on steps 1-5, use the geometric relationships provided by the 3D velocity signal processing board to calculate the target's 3D velocity in Cartesian coordinates. .

[0041] The system also includes two optical lenses: a visible light camera and a laser rangefinder and laser fill light lens, which are connected to the three-dimensional velocity fusion processing board via an optoelectronic information module.

[0042] Radar signal control, radar signal processing, visible light camera imaging and processing, laser rangefinder signal processing, and servo turntable control are all handled by a separate computer. The target 3D velocity measurement and processing board is the hardware processing board for the radar and photoelectric camera target data fusion software.

The radar signal generation and processing module is installed in the middle of the top-mounted structure. Two optical lenses are positioned on either side of the servo turntable: one is a visible light camera, and the other is a laser ranging and laser illumination module.

[0044] This application uses radar to search for targets and measures the radial velocity of the target at a certain moment using the Doppler frequency shift principle. Optoelectronic equipment measures the angular velocity of the target at a certain moment based on the horizontal and pitch rotation speeds of the optoelectronic servo turntable and the target information from the video image. A three-dimensional velocity information fusion processing board performs pixel analysis on the centroid or marker points of the target's two-dimensional image, calculating the two-dimensional angular velocity of that point projected onto a spherical surface at a certain distance. Then, using the distance information provided by the radar and the precise azimuth and pitch angle information provided by the optoelectronic equipment, the three-dimensional velocity information fusion processing board fuses the radar and optoelectronic measurement information to determine the target's three-dimensional velocity information in spherical coordinates. By converting between spherical and Cartesian coordinates, the target's three-dimensional velocity information in Cartesian coordinates can be obtained. This application utilizes an integrated radar and video device to measure the three-dimensional velocity vector of a target, exhibiting excellent scalability.

A three-dimensional velocity measurement device that integrates radar and video, characterized in that, include: A processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores executable program instructions, and when the processor invokes the program instructions in the memory, the processor performs the following steps performed by the radar and video fusion three-dimensional velocity measurement device according to any one of claims 1-7: Step 1: Search for and track the target using radar, and measure the target's radial velocity; Step 2: Activate the photoelectric tracking imaging function to confirm the target; Step 3: Measure the distance to the target using a laser rangefinder; Step 4: Using photoelectric tracking images, the relative position of the target with respect to the center of the lens image is converted into the angular relationship of the target with respect to the center of the lens image. Combined with the angular information of the servo turntable relative to the calibrated 0 position, the angle of the target is determined. Step 5: The photoelectric camera images the target. After image processing, the three-dimensional velocity signal processing board converts the change in the relative position of the target with respect to the center of the lens image into the angular velocity of the target with respect to the center of the lens image. This angular velocity is then superimposed with the rotational speed of the servo turntable to determine the angular velocity of the target. Step 6: Determine the target's three-dimensional velocity in spherical coordinates based on the three-dimensional velocity signal processing board; Step 7: Using a 3D velocity signal processing board, determine the target's 3D velocity in Cartesian coordinates through coordinate transformation.
