Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a vehicle lane change assist interaction method, system, device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] When a vehicle needs to change lanes while driving, the driver typically uses the turn signal switch to signal other vehicles traveling in the same direction in the target lane before making the lane change. However, this method has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1) Drivers of other vehicles need to constantly pay attention to whether surrounding vehicles have turned on their turn signals, which increases the driver's burden and reduces efficiency;

[0004] 2) The lack of communication and interaction with drivers of other vehicles, with only a unilateral lane change signal, makes it impossible to accurately convey the reason for the lane change or to know whether other drivers have accepted the lane change request. This can easily lead to traffic accidents and pose certain safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to at least partially solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] Therefore, one objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle lane change assist interaction method that improves the efficiency and accuracy of information exchange between vehicles during lane changes, thereby improving the safety of vehicle lane changes.

[0056] In the description of this invention, "multiple" means two or more. The use of "first" and "second" is for distinguishing technical features only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or the order of the indicated technical features. Furthermore, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 This invention provides a vehicle lane change assistance interaction method, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0058] S101. In response to the lane change assistance interaction request from the driver of the current vehicle, determine the target lane change lane.

[0059] Specifically, when the driver of the current vehicle needs to change lanes, he can first issue a lane change assistance interaction request through relevant operations. The lane change assistance interaction request includes the direction (left or right) that the current vehicle wants to change lanes. Based on the lane change assistance interaction request, the target lane can be determined.

[0060] As a further optional implementation, the step of determining the target lane change lane in response to the current vehicle's lane change assistance interaction request specifically includes:

[0061] S1011. Generate a lane change assistance interaction request based on the driver's first operation information of the current vehicle. The first operation information includes at least one of first button information, first voice information, and first gesture information.

[0062] S1012. Determine the target lane change direction based on the lane change assistance interaction request;

[0063] S1013. Obtain the current lane where the vehicle is currently located, and determine the target lane change lane based on the current lane and the target lane change direction.

[0064] Specifically, drivers can issue lane change assistance interaction requests through button operations (such as pressing the left lane change button), voice commands (such as "change lane to the left"), or gesture commands (such as waving their hand to the left). When the vehicle detects the driver's corresponding operation, it will generate a corresponding lane change assistance interaction request. Based on the lane change assistance interaction request, the direction in which the driver wants to change lanes, i.e., left or right, is determined. Then, combined with the current lane where the vehicle is currently located, the adjacent lane in the direction of the target lane change can be determined as the target lane change lane.

[0065] S102. Obtain the first image information of the target lane and determine several target vehicles based on the first image information.

[0066] Specifically, after determining the target lane, the first image information of the target lane can be obtained through the camera device at the corresponding position on the current vehicle. The target vehicle in the target lane can be identified and detected based on the first image information. The target vehicle is the vehicle that the current vehicle needs to exchange lane change information with.

[0067] As a further optional implementation, the step of acquiring first image information of the target lane and determining several target vehicles based on the first image information specifically includes:

[0068] S1021. Acquire first image information of the target lane change lane through a camera device, wherein the camera device is set on the side of the current vehicle closest to the target lane change lane;

[0069] S1022. Input the first image information into the pre-trained vehicle detection model to obtain the vehicle detection result;

[0070] S1023. Based on the vehicle detection results, identify several target vehicles in the first image information.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, a camera device is installed on the side of the current vehicle closest to the target lane to acquire the first image information of the target lane to change lanes. It can be understood that in this embodiment of the invention, camera devices are installed on both sides of the current vehicle. After the target lane to change lane is determined, only the camera device on the corresponding side can be activated for image acquisition and subsequent recognition processing, which reduces the computing power burden of the system and improves efficiency.

[0072] The vehicle detection model in this embodiment of the invention is trained by a convolutional neural network. By inputting the first image information into the vehicle detection model, the corresponding vehicle detection result can be obtained, thereby identifying several target vehicles in the first image information.

[0073] As an optional implementation, the vehicle lane change assistance interaction method further includes a step of pre-training a vehicle detection model, which specifically includes:

[0074] A1. Obtain multiple preset lane object sample images and determine the label information of each lane object sample image. The lane object sample images include vehicle sample images.

[0075] A2. Construct a training dataset based on lane object sample images and corresponding label information;

[0076] A3. Input the training dataset into the pre-built convolutional neural network for training to obtain a trained vehicle detection model.

[0077] Specifically, when constructing the training dataset, multiple sample images of different types of lane objects are obtained, such as vehicles, signs, and non-motorized vehicles. There should also be multiple sample images of each type of lane object. The label information of each lane object sample image is determined according to the corresponding object type.

[0078] As an optional implementation, the step of inputting the training dataset into a pre-built convolutional neural network for training to obtain a trained vehicle detection model specifically includes:

[0079] A31. Input the training dataset into the convolutional neural network to obtain the lane object recognition result;

[0080] A32. Determine the loss value of the convolutional neural network based on the lane object recognition results and label information;

[0081] A33. Update the model parameters of the convolutional neural network using the backpropagation algorithm based on the loss value, and return to the step of inputting the training dataset into the convolutional neural network;

[0082] A34. When the loss value reaches the preset first threshold or the number of iterations reaches the preset second threshold, training is stopped, and the trained vehicle detection model is obtained.

[0083] Specifically, after inputting the data from the training dataset into the initialized convolutional neural network model, the model outputs the recognition results, namely the lane object recognition results. The accuracy of the model's predictions can be evaluated based on these lane object recognition results and the aforementioned label information, thereby updating the model's parameters. For vehicle detection models, the accuracy of the model's recognition results can be measured by a loss function. The loss function is defined on a single training data point and measures the prediction error of that data point. Specifically, the loss value of that training data point is determined by its label and the model's prediction result for that data point. However, in actual training, a training dataset contains many data points. Therefore, a cost function is generally used to measure the overall error of the training dataset. The cost function is defined on the entire training dataset and calculates the average prediction error of all training data points, providing a better measure of the model's prediction performance. For general machine learning models, the aforementioned cost function, plus a regularization term to measure model complexity, can serve as the training objective function. Based on this objective function, the loss value of the entire training dataset can be calculated. There are many commonly used loss functions, such as 0-1 loss, squared loss, absolute loss, logarithmic loss, and cross-entropy loss, all of which can be used as loss functions for machine learning models. These will not be elaborated upon here. In this embodiment of the invention, any one of these loss functions can be selected to determine the training loss value. Based on the training loss value, the backpropagation algorithm is used to update the model parameters. After several iterations, a trained vehicle detection model can be obtained. Specifically, the number of iterations can be preset, or training can be considered complete when the accuracy requirement on the test set is met.

[0084] S103. Obtain the driver's lane change request information and display the lane change request information through the window of the current vehicle that is close to the target lane change lane.

[0085] Specifically, after determining that a target vehicle exists in the target lane and identifying the target vehicle, the driver's lane change request information is obtained by recognizing the voice, and then displayed through the window of the current vehicle that is close to the target lane.

[0086] As a further optional implementation, the step of obtaining the driver's lane change request information and displaying the lane change request information through the window of the current vehicle approaching the target lane change lane specifically includes:

[0087] S1031. Obtain the driver's second voice information, and perform voice recognition on the second voice information to obtain lane change request information;

[0088] S1032. Determine the orientation information of the target vehicle relative to the current vehicle based on the first image information;

[0089] S1033. Determine the vehicle window to be displayed based on the orientation information. The vehicle window to be displayed includes at least one of the following: the left window, the right window, the left area of ​​the windshield, the right area of ​​the windshield, the left area of ​​the rear window, and the right area of ​​the rear window that is close to the target lane change lane.

[0090] S1034. Display lane change request information through the window of the vehicle to be displayed.

[0091] Specifically, drivers can directly state the reason for requesting a lane change and related polite phrases, such as "Going to the hospital for medical treatment, I need to change lanes, please help, thank you!" The corresponding text information is obtained through voice recognition. In addition, matching emoji images can be added based on emotion recognition, making it easier for the driver of the target vehicle to accept the current vehicle's lane change request.

[0092] Based on the position of the target vehicle in the first image information, the relative position of the target vehicle to the current vehicle can be determined. For example, taking the left side as the target lane change direction, when the target vehicle is detected in the right area of ​​the first image information, it means that the target vehicle is in front of the current vehicle on the left. At this time, the lane change request text can be displayed through the left window and the left area of ​​the windshield (occupying a small area and not affecting the driver's line of sight). When the target vehicle is detected in the left area of ​​the first image, it means that the target vehicle is behind the current vehicle on the left. At this time, the lane change request text can be displayed through the left window and the left area of ​​the rear window.

[0093] S104. Obtain lane change feedback information displayed on the window of the target vehicle, and remind the driver to perform the corresponding lane change operation based on the lane change feedback information.

[0094] Specifically, the driver of the target vehicle can directly observe the lane change request information displayed on the window of the current vehicle, or the lane change request information can be obtained through image acquisition and text recognition by the camera device on the target vehicle and broadcast to the driver of the target vehicle. After the driver of the target vehicle receives the lane change request information, they can issue a lane change feedback message via voice. This message can also be converted into corresponding text through voice recognition and then displayed on the window of the vehicle closest to the target vehicle. Upon receiving the lane change feedback message, the driver of the current vehicle can then be reminded to perform the corresponding lane change operation.

[0095] As a further optional implementation, the step of obtaining lane change feedback information displayed on the target vehicle's window and reminding the driver to perform corresponding lane change operations based on the lane change feedback information also includes:

[0096] S1041. Obtain second image information of the target vehicle's window through a camera device, and perform text recognition and detection on the second image information to obtain lane change feedback information;

[0097] S1042. Generate corresponding voice prompts based on lane change feedback information, and remind the driver to perform the corresponding lane change operation through the voice prompts.

[0098] Specifically, a second image of the target vehicle's window is acquired through a camera device, thereby identifying the driver's lane-change feedback. If the feedback indicates that lane changing is permitted, a corresponding voice prompt message can be generated, such as "The target vehicle has been permitted to change lanes; please complete the lane change operation as soon as possible." If the feedback indicates that lane changing is not permitted, a corresponding voice prompt message can be generated, such as "The target vehicle is not permitted to change lanes due to special circumstances; please slow down and then search for another target vehicle to initiate a lane change request." Based on the voice prompt message, the driver can perform the corresponding operation to complete the lane change or postpone the lane change.

[0099] In some optional embodiments, after completing the lane change, the current vehicle can also express its gratitude to the target vehicle that allowed it to change lanes and cut in through the rear window.

[0100] The method steps of the embodiments of the present invention have been described above. It is understood that by displaying lane change request information and lane change feedback information through the vehicle window, the embodiments of the present invention can realize information interaction between the current vehicle and the target vehicle during lane changes, improving the efficiency and accuracy of information interaction between vehicles during lane changes, thereby improving the safety of lane changes.
