[0016] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0017] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below.

[0018] The embodiments of the present disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition and / or use, etc. These aspects are subject to the corresponding laws, regulations and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are carried out on the premise that the user knows and confirms. Accordingly, when implementing each embodiment of the present disclosure, the type, scope of use, usage scenario, etc. of the data or information that may be involved should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. The specific notification and / or authorization method can vary according to the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0019] As briefly mentioned above, with the improvement of living standards, vehicles are used more and more widely, and driving has become the most common mode of transportation in people's lives. In order to better assist users in making decisions and improve the user experience, navigation information is no longer limited to providing only direction information for guiding the user's direction, but can also include other information for assisting users in driving, such as traffic light information. Such traffic light information includes, for example, the current indication status of the traffic light (for example, whether it is passable), the remaining time of the current indicated status, and so on. Accordingly, the vehicle driving user can determine the driving strategy based on the traffic light information, such as whether to accelerate or decelerate, or how long to wait, etc.

[0020] In this regard, the indication state of the signal light, the change cycle (i.e., the time length corresponding to each state of the signal light), etc. can be determined based on pre-stored signal light state data and cycle data (for example, provided by the traffic management department). However, this method not only relies on prior knowledge, but also has a very limited coverage.

[0021] In addition, in some feasible methods, the current state of the traffic light can be obtained based on visual observation, vehicle image acquisition equipment, etc., and the changes of the traffic light can be observed through the collected continuous video stream to mine the periodic information of the traffic light.

[0022] However, this method is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also subject to the problem of limited scene coverage. In addition, this mining method is also easily affected by factors such as low image acquisition quality and occlusion, resulting in low quality of the mined period information.

[0023] The embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scheme for processing the cycle information of a signal light. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a set of collected information associated with the state of the signal light within a predetermined time period is obtained, the set of collected information indicating the state of the signal light at a corresponding moment or the state switching occurring at a corresponding moment; at least one piece of collected information in the collection of collected information that does not match the cycle information of the signal light is determined, the collection of collected information includes at least one set of collected information; based on the collection source of at least one piece of collected information, the degree of deviation between the cycle information of the signal light and the collection of collected information is determined; and based on the degree of deviation, the cycle information is adjusted.

[0024] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can adaptively adjust the period information of the signal light according to the acquisition source of the signal light information (for example, trajectory points or images), thereby improving the accuracy of the period information of the signal light.

[0025] First, you can refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. In the environment 100, an electronic device 110 may be included.

[0026] In environment 100 , electronic device 110 may be any type of device that meets computing capability requirements, such as a computing system / server such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like.

[0027] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may obtain collection information of the signal light 123 that is associated with different collection sources.

[0028] For example, the electronic device 110 may obtain the track information of the vehicle 130 traveling through the intersection 120 provided with the traffic light 123. The electronic device 110 may further generate the collection information indicating the specific state of the traffic light 123 at a specific moment based on the track information.

[0029] In some embodiments, the vehicle or other appropriate electronic device associated with the vehicle (e.g., a mobile device of a vehicle driver or passenger) may use its positioning capability to determine the location of the vehicle and report the location information in association with time information to the electronic device 110.

[0030] In some embodiments, the trajectory of the vehicle 130 passing through the intersection 120 may also be determined by other appropriate collection devices (eg, roadside equipment) and sent to the electronic device 110 .

[0031] As another example, the electronic device 110 may also acquire image information of the signal light 123. Such image information 130 may be, for example, a static or dynamic image captured by the vehicle 121. The electronic device 110 may further generate acquisition information of the signal light 123 based on the image information, and such acquisition information may indicate, for example, a specific state of the signal light 123 at a specific moment, or may indicate that the state of the signal light 123 has switched at a specific moment.

[0032] As will be described in detail below, the electronic device 110 can determine the cycle information 130 of the signal light 123 at the intersection 120 based on the collected information of the signal light 123. Such cycle information 130 can, for example, indicate one or more of the following: the total cycle of all states of the signal light (also called the large cycle), the cycle of each individual state of the signal light (for example, the green light state, the red light state or the yellow light state) (also called the small cycle), and the time when the state of the signal light switches (for example, the timetable for switching from the red light to the green light).

[0033] It should be understood that the structure and functionality of environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and does not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0034] As described above, the indication status of traffic lights, changing cycle information, etc. will have a direct impact on traffic decisions. Therefore, in the fields of autonomous driving, assisted driving, navigation, etc., it is often desired to obtain higher quality traffic light data (for example, the indication status of traffic lights, cycle information, etc.).

[0035] In this regard, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a process for processing the cycle information of a signal light. Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a process 200 for processing cycle information of a signal light according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 200 may be performed in a suitable electronic device or combination of electronic devices (e.g., Figure 1 The process 200 is implemented at the electronic device 110 shown or a combination of the electronic device 110 and other electronic devices. For ease of discussion, the process 200 is described below using the electronic device 110 as an example.

[0036] In block 210 , the electronic device 110 acquires a set of collected information associated with the state of the signal light within a predetermined time period, wherein the set of collected information indicates the state of the signal light at a corresponding moment or the state switching occurring at a corresponding moment.

[0037] As reference Figure 1As discussed, the electronic device 110 can obtain the collection information of the signal light 123. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can obtain a variety of collection information corresponding to different collectors.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, for example, obtain a trajectory of a vehicle traveling through the intersection 120, and generate the collected information of the signal light 123 based on the trajectory. As discussed above, such a trajectory may be generated, for example, by a vehicle or a suitable device such as a roadside device using its positioning capability, which may indicate a set of positions of the vehicle at a set of times.

[0039] Further, the electronic device 110 may determine, from a set of positions, a plurality of positions before the vehicle enters the intersection area associated with the signal light 123. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may determine a plurality of positions before the vehicle enters the intersection area according to the temporal continuity of the trajectory.

[0040] Additionally, the electronic device 110 may determine the target location corresponding to the latest time from the multiple locations. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may determine the last location point corresponding to before entering the intersection area as the target location.

[0041] It should be understood that, considering that the vehicle will enter the intersection area after leaving the target position, when the vehicle is at the target position, the traffic light 123 should be in a passable state, for example, a green light state.

[0042] Accordingly, the electronic device 110 may generate collection information corresponding to the trajectory information based on the determined target position to indicate that the traffic light 123 is in a passable state, for example, a green light state, at the time corresponding to the target position.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also generate acquisition information based on image information associated with the signal light 123. Such image information may be acquired by, for example, a vehicle, a acquisition device associated with the vehicle, or a roadside acquisition device.

[0044] For example, a vehicle passing through intersection 120 may use a driving recorder to capture a photo of traffic light 123. Such a photo may be processed by the vehicle or a cloud device, for example, to identify the state of traffic light 123 based on the photo and to establish an association between the state and the moment when the photo was captured.

[0045] As another example, a vehicle passing through the intersection 120 may use a driving recorder to capture a video of the signal light 123. Such a video may be processed by the vehicle or a cloud device, for example, to determine the state switching moment of the signal light 123 (e.g., the moment when the red light switches to the green light) based on the video.

[0046] Thus, the electronic device 110 can obtain multi-modal collection information to comprehensively determine the cycle information of the signal light.

[0047] Continue to refer Figure 2 In block 220 , the electronic device 110 determines at least one item of collected information in the collected information set that does not match the cycle information of the signal light, and the collected information set includes at least one set of collected information.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may periodically obtain the collected information within a preset time period (e.g., the past 24 hours), and use the collected information to update the cycle information of the signal light. For example, the electronic device 110 may start updating the cycle information after obtaining a set of collected information associated with the preset time period.

[0049] Furthermore, during the update process, the electronic device 110 may compare the collection information set with the periodic information to determine at least one collection information in the collection information set that does not match the current periodic information. For example, such a collection information set may include previously acquired collection information and the group of collection information associated with a preset time period.

[0050] Exemplarily, such mismatched at least one acquisition information means that the state / state switching and time point indicated by it do not match the current cycle information. For example, if the current cycle information indicates that 10:00 is a red light state, but a certain acquisition information indicates that 10:00 is a green light state, it can be determined that the acquisition information does not match the current cycle information.

[0051] Continue to refer Figure 2 In block 230 , the electronic device 110 determines the degree of deviation between the cycle information of the signal light and the collection information set based on the collection source of at least one item of collection information.

[0052] Considering that the credibility of data from different sources varies, the embodiments of the present disclosure may determine the degree of deviation based on the collection source of the collected information.

[0053] Specifically, if the at least one item of unmatched collection information includes the first collection information corresponding to the first collection source, the electronic device 110 may determine a first deviation degree corresponding to the first collection information.

[0054] Accordingly, if at least one item of collection information includes second collection information corresponding to a second collection source, the electronic device 110 may determine a second deviation degree corresponding to the second collection information, wherein the second collection source is different from the first collection source, and the second deviation degree is different from the first deviation degree.

[0055] Exemplarily, the first collected information is generated based on the trajectory information of the vehicle, which can be assigned a relatively low confidence. On the contrary, the second collected information can be generated based on the image information associated with the traffic light, which can be assigned a relatively high confidence.

[0056] As an example, if there are 10 items of collected information that do not match the period information, of which 4 items are first collected information generated based on the trajectory information and 6 items are second collected information generated based on the image information, the electronic device 110 can, for example, assign specific weights (e.g., 1.0) to the 4 items of first collected information and assign specific weights (e.g., 1.5) to the 6 items of first collected information. Further, the electronic device 110 can determine that the total degree of deviation is: 4*1.0+6*1.5=13.

[0057] Thus, the electronic device 110 can determine the degree of deviation between the cycle information of the signal light and the collection information set based on the first deviation degree and / or the second deviation degree. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can not only consider the number of deviated collection information, but also consider the credibility of its collection source, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined cycle information.

[0058] Continue to refer Figure 2 At block 240 , the electronic device 110 adjusts the period information based on the degree of deviation.

[0059] The following will refer to Figure 3 Let's discuss an example process for adjusting period information. Figure 3 A schematic diagram 300 is shown for adjusting cycle information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 The horizontal axis represents the cycle information, and the vertical axis represents the degree of divergence.

[0060] like Figure 3 The current cycle information of the traffic light may correspond to the cycle information 310 , for example, and the degree of deviation from the collected information set is the degree of deviation 315 .

[0061] Specifically, the electronic device 110 may determine the adjustment direction and the adjustment step size of the period information based on the deviation degree 315. Figure 3 As an example, the electronic device 110 may determine its benefit by trying to increase the period or decrease the period, and such benefit may be represented by a change in the degree of deviation.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, when the cycle information is adjusted to the left, the electronic device 110 can obtain positive benefits. On the contrary, when the cycle information is adjusted to the right, the electronic device 110 can obtain negative benefits. Therefore, the electronic device 110 can determine that the cycle information should be adjusted to the left.

[0063] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may also determine the adjustment step size of the period information based on the gradient information of the gain. For example, when the gradient of the gain is large, such as Figure 3 If the curve shown in is relatively steep, the electronic device 110 may set a larger adjustment step size. On the contrary, if the gradient of the gain is relatively small, that is, if the curve is relatively gentle, the electronic device 110 may set a smaller adjustment step size.

[0064] As another example, the electronic device 110 may also determine the adjustment step size by searching for a global optimal solution (ie, a cycle with the lowest degree of deviation).

[0065] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may determine the adjusted cycle information of the signal light based on the adjustment direction and the adjustment step size. Figure 3 As an example, the electronic device 110 may determine to adjust the period information to the left, and the adjusted period information is period information 320 , and its corresponding deviation degree is deviation degree 325 .

[0066] It can be seen that the degree of deviation 325 is lower than the degree of deviation 315. That is, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the accuracy of period information by means of periodic optimization.

[0067] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also perform special processing on the video acquisition source. Specifically, if the acquired set of acquisition information includes target acquisition information indicating that the signal light switches state at the target time, the electronic device 110 may determine the candidate cycle information based on the target time.

[0068] For example, if the electronic device 110 determines based on the video information that the state of the signal light switches at a specific moment, the corresponding cycle information can be determined as candidate cycle information.

[0069] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may determine the degree of deviation between the candidate cycle information and the collection information set. If the degree of deviation corresponding to the candidate cycle information is less than the original degree of deviation and the difference between the degree of deviation and the original degree of deviation is greater than a threshold, the electronic device 110 may, for example, directly determine the candidate cycle information as the adjusted cycle information of the signal light.

[0070] Exemplarily, if the electronic device 110 determines through a comparison of the degree of deviation that the period information determined according to the video signal is superior to the existing period information, the electronic device 110 can use the period information to directly replace (for example, replace the original state switching moment). As another example, if the electronic device 110 determines through a comparison of the degree of deviation that the period information determined according to the video signal is superior to the existing period information to a sufficient degree, the electronic device 110 can use the period information to directly replace (for example, replace the original state switching moment).

[0071] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can fully evaluate the state switching moment determined based on the video information, thereby improving the accuracy of the cycle information of the signal light.

[0072] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide the cycle information of the signal light to a target device associated with the signal light, so that the target device provides reminder information associated with the cycle information. Specifically, after the electronic device 110 determines (or adjusts) the cycle information of the signal light, the electronic device 110 may also send reminder information associated with the cycle information (for example, the current state of the signal light determined based on the current moment and the cycle information, the remaining time of the current state, etc.) to the target device associated with the signal light. For example, such a target device may be a terminal device, a car computer, etc. used by a vehicle driver, so that the user can make a decision based on the cycle information.

[0073] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also determine whether to provide the target device with periodic information based on the location of the vehicle associated with the target device. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may provide the target device with periodic information when it is determined that the distance between the target vehicle and the target intersection is less than a threshold distance and the driving direction of the target vehicle matches the traffic light, so as to provide the user with periodic information in a targeted manner and enhance the use value of the periodic information.

[0074] Figure 4 A block diagram of an apparatus 400 for processing cycle information of a signal light according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The apparatus 400 includes an information acquisition module 410, configured to acquire a set of collected information associated with the state of the signal light within a predetermined time period, wherein the set of collected information indicates the state of the signal light at a corresponding moment or a state switch that occurs at a corresponding moment; a first determination module 420, configured to determine at least one item of collected information in a collection of collected information that does not match the cycle information of the signal light, wherein the collection of collected information includes at least one set of collected information; a second determination module 430, configured to determine the degree of deviation between the cycle information of the signal light and the collection of collected information based on the collection source of at least one item of collected information; and a cycle adjustment module 440, configured to adjust the cycle information based on the degree of deviation.
