DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] In view of the limitations of the existing technology, the present invention proposes a roadside millimeter-wave radar calibration method based on vehicle networking technology, and uses a local high-precision roadside map to verify the calibration results, which can more conveniently and accurately realize the rapid calibration of the roadside millimeter-wave radar.

[0026] Figure 1 This is one of the flow charts of the roadside millimeter wave radar calibration method based on the Internet of Vehicles provided by the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, including: Step 1, collecting vehicle data within the millimeter wave radar detection area; Step 2, clustering the vehicle data based on the density clustering algorithm OPTICS to extract vehicle trajectory points; Step 3, using a speed matching method to identify and obtain the motion trajectory of the intelligent networked vehicle in the vehicle trajectory point; Step 4, obtaining the millimeter-wave radar coordinate system of the motion trajectory of the intelligent networked vehicle, and resampling the motion trajectory of the intelligent networked vehicle in the millimeter-wave radar coordinate system by using a linear interpolation method to obtain a resampled motion trajectory of the intelligent networked vehicle; Step 5, selecting any group of intelligent networked vehicle collection data from the vehicle data to execute steps 1 to 4, randomly selecting a number of training points from the resampled motion trajectory of the intelligent networked vehicle to perform coordinate system transformation, and solving calibration parameters using a pseudo-inverse transformation method; Step 6: Use the calibration parameters to calibrate the remaining groups of intelligent connected vehicle collected data in the vehicle data, and verify the calibration results.

[0027] Specifically, the purpose of calibrating the roadside millimeter wave radar in the embodiment of the present invention is to obtain the corresponding WGS-84 coordinates of the detected target. The detailed technical route is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0028] Step 1: Data collection. Obtain vehicle data (including smart connected vehicles and ordinary vehicles) within the millimeter wave radar detection area, use vehicle to everything (V2X) communication technology to obtain the basic safety message (BSM) information of smart connected vehicles, and use two smart connected vehicles to collect two sets of data.

[0029] Step 2: Clustering of vehicle trajectory points. Using the density clustering algorithm (Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure, OPTICS) clustering method, we can distinguish vehicles traveling in the same lane at different times, extract the trajectories of connected vehicles, and achieve vehicle trajectory clustering.

[0030] Step 3: Identify the track of the intelligent connected vehicle. Using the automatic speed matching method, the precise speed of the intelligent connected vehicle is obtained through V2X communication technology, and matched with the speed of all vehicles in the detection area measured by the millimeter wave radar, and the corresponding track data of the intelligent connected vehicle is automatically and quickly found.

[0031] Step 4: Data resampling. The frequency of millimeter-wave radar detection data is inconsistent with the frequency of the BSM message sent by the on-board unit (OBU). In order to synchronize the millimeter-wave radar data and the WGS-84 coordinates of the connected vehicle received by the road side unit (RSU), the linear interpolation method is used to resample the trajectory of the intelligent connected vehicle in the millimeter-wave radar coordinate system.

[0032] Step 5: Solve the calibration parameters. Select the first group of intelligent connected vehicle collection data to perform steps 2-4, then randomly select N training points, perform coordinate system transformation, and use the pseudo-inverse transformation method to solve the calibration parameters.

[0033] Step 6: Verification and evaluation. Use the calibration results to calibrate the second set of millimeter-wave radar data, calculate the distance between the WGS-84 coordinates mapped after calibration and the lane centerline of the local high-precision map, and determine the size of the average distance difference and the preset error value. If the average distance difference is not greater than the preset error, the millimeter-wave radar calibration is qualified; otherwise, return to step 1 and recalibrate.

[0034] The present invention uses V2X communication technology to calibrate the roadside millimeter-wave radar, and uses the local high-precision map of the roadside to verify the calibration results. There is no need to close the road during the calibration process, which solves the traffic risks caused by the exposure of personnel or the closure of roads in traditional calibration methods, and improves the efficiency and safety of the calibration work. Compared with the use of neural network methods to calibrate millimeter-wave radars, the method of the present invention has a smaller computational cost and storage capacity, and can be deployed in the roadside edge computing unit to realize the rapid and accurate calibration of the roadside millimeter-wave radar.

[0035] Based on the above embodiment, step 1 includes: Obtain target information of multiple vehicles traveling in different lanes, the target information including timestamp, relative position, speed and identity information, the multiple vehicles including intelligent networked vehicles and ordinary vehicles; The WGS-84 coordinates of the plurality of vehicles are collected.

[0036] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention uses two intelligent connected vehicles, which travel in the left lane for the first time and in the right lane for the second time. The vehicles try to maintain a constant speed in the middle of the lane, and two sets of data are obtained in this process.

[0037] When a smart connected vehicle passes through the detection area of ​​the roadside millimeter-wave radar, the millimeter-wave radar will obtain information about the vehicle, including smart connected vehicles and ordinary vehicles. The target information obtained by the millimeter-wave radar, including timestamp, relative position, speed and identity information, will be sent to the edge computing unit (Mobile Edge Computing, MEC) through the optical fiber network. At the same time, the WGS-84 coordinates of the smart connected vehicle will also be sent from the RSU to the MEC. The RSU receives the vehicle WGS-84 coordinates sent by the OBU carried by the smart connected vehicle through V2X communication.

[0038] Based on the above embodiment, step 2 includes: Obtaining the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the vehicle trajectory point at any two moments in the millimeter wave radar coordinate system, as well as the velocity of the trajectory point at the said any two moments; Based on OPTICS, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate at any two moments and the speed of the track point at any two moments are calculated to obtain the travel distance between any two moments; Determine the accessibility distance, and extract the vehicle trajectory point according to the travel distance between the arbitrary two time points and the accessibility distance.

[0039] Specifically, since the tracking object of the millimeter-wave radar in actual scenarios is a dynamic target, there is a lot of noise in the acquisition of millimeter-wave radar data, so it is impossible to simply use the ID to extract the trajectory of the connected vehicle.

[0040] The embodiment of the present invention uses the OPTICS clustering method to cluster vehicle trajectories. Compared with the traditional K-means algorithm, OPTICS does not need to pre-specify the number of clusters and can identify cluster structures of different densities. In the OPTICS clustering method, a neighborhood radius is first determined, which is the minimum cluster radius that the algorithm can identify; for each data point, its neighborhood-based reachability distance is calculated, and the reachability distance of each data point is recorded; the data points are sorted according to their reachability distances to form a sorted list; clusters are identified and extracted through the sorted list.

[0041] Since there are fewer vehicles traveling in the same lane, the trajectories of these vehicles will overlap in the coordinate system of the millimeter wave radar. Therefore, in the OPTICS method, using Euclidean distance to determine the reachability distance is not suitable for clustering vehicle trajectories. In this paper, the timestamp and speed are used to calculate the reachability distance in the OPTICS method. The distance calculation formula is as follows: (1) In the formula, and are the x and y coordinate values ​​of the vehicle trajectory point in the millimeter wave radar coordinate system, is the track point timestamp, is the velocity of the trajectory point. It can be understood that this method can distinguish vehicles traveling in the same lane at different times.

[0042] Based on the above embodiment, step 3 includes: Get the first moment detection speed of the millimeter wave radar and the second moment reporting speed of the intelligent connected vehicle; Determine a preset time constraint range so that the difference between the first moment and the second moment is within the preset time constraint range; Acquire the total number of trajectory point data within the preset time constraint range, and obtain a speed similarity value of any trajectory point within the preset time constraint range based on the total number of trajectory point data, the detection speed at the first moment, and the reported speed at the second moment; The motion trajectory of the intelligent networked vehicle is constructed using trajectory points whose speed similarity values ​​are within a similarity threshold.

[0043] Specifically, after clustering the vehicle trajectories, the embodiment of the present invention uses a speed matching method to quickly identify the motion trajectory of the intelligent connected vehicle. The millimeter wave radar can measure the speed of all vehicles in the detection area, and the RSU can also obtain the precise speed of the intelligent connected vehicle through V2X communication technology. By measuring the speed similarity between each clustered vehicle and the intelligent connected vehicle, the trajectory of the intelligent connected vehicle can be automatically and quickly identified. The calculation formula is as follows: (2) In the formula, Millimeter wave radar The speed detected at any moment, Is the smart connected car in The speed of reporting at all times, Indicates that the time constraint The total number of track points. Assuming that the speed of the intelligent connected vehicle remains constant within 100ms, the calculation result , it can be determined that the clustered vehicle trajectories are the trajectories of intelligent connected vehicles.

[0044] Based on the above embodiment, step 4 includes: Obtaining a plurality of first moment coordinates and a plurality of next moment coordinates of the first moment of the motion trajectory of the intelligent networked vehicle in the millimeter wave radar coordinate system; Performing linear interpolation calculation on the plurality of first moment coordinates and the plurality of first moment coordinates next to the plurality of first moment coordinates to obtain a plurality of second moment coordinates; The resampled motion trajectory of the intelligent connected vehicle is constructed by integrating all the second-time coordinates to obtain the millimeter-wave radar data with the same timestamp and the corresponding WGS-84 coordinates.

[0045] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention takes the Continental millimeter-wave radar as an example, and outputs the detection results of the object every 72ms in the millimeter-wave radar coordinate system. The origin of the millimeter-wave radar coordinate system is the position of the roadside millimeter-wave radar, and the positive directions of the x-axis and y-axis of the coordinate are the front and connector side of the millimeter-wave radar, respectively. The roadside RSU and OBU are both taken as Hikvision Intelligent Connection equipment, and the OBU broadcasts the vehicle positioning information to the RSU every 100ms. In order to synchronize the millimeter-wave radar data and the vehicle positioning information received by the RSU, the linear interpolation method is used to resample the trajectory points in the millimeter-wave radar coordinate system. Assuming that the speed of the intelligent connected vehicle is constant during the millimeter-wave radar detection cycle, it is known that the millimeter-wave radar data is at time and The x-coordinate of The x-coordinate of the moment, The y coordinate at the moment is obtained using the same method, and the interpolation formula is as follows: (3) After resampling the trajectory point data, a set of millimeter wave radar data with the same timestamp is obtained. and its corresponding WGS-84 coordinates .

[0046] Based on the above embodiment, step 5 includes: The embodiment of the present invention randomly selects 10 points from the time-synchronized trajectory data set as training data to solve the calibration parameters. First, the WGS-84 coordinate data of the intelligent networked vehicle is transformed, and the coordinate data in the WGS-84 coordinate system is transformed into the local Cartesian coordinate system, and then a transformation relationship is established with the laser radar coordinate system, and finally the PI pseudo-inverse transformation method is used to solve the coordinate transformation matrix.

[0047] (1) Coordinate system conversion First, convert the WGS-84 coordinates of the intelligent connected vehicle into local Cartesian coordinates. The WGS-84 coordinate system is a geodetic coordinate system. Before converting to the local Cartesian coordinate system, first convert the WGS-84 coordinate system into the Earth-centered Earth-fixed rectangular coordinate system (ECEF). The conversion formula is as follows: (4)

[0048] In the formula, are the major and minor radii of the reference ellipsoid, is the square of the eccentricity of the ellipsoid, is the radius of curvature of the reference ellipsoid, are longitude, latitude and altitude respectively. The altitude of the target is not considered in the present invention. Set to 0.

[0049] Then convert the Earth-centered Earth-fixed rectangular coordinate system (ECEF) to the local Cartesian coordinate system (ENU) using the following conversion formula: (5) It should be noted that this process requires a local reference point , which can use the WGS-84 coordinates of the reference point By using formula (4), the reference point can be selected as the location of the millimeter wave radar.

[0050] According to the above process, the WGS-84 coordinates can be Convert to local Cartesian coordinates (ENU) .

[0051] (2) Solving the calibration parameters The calibration parameters are solved using the pseudo inverse (PI) method. The calibration formula is as follows: (6)

[0052] In the formula, are the millimeter wave radar coordinates, , is a two-dimensional change matrix. Select For the data, the roadside calibration problem is formulated as an optimization problem of minimizing the projection error on the local coordinates: (7) In the formula, yes The distance between The parameters can be solved using PI.

[0053] Based on the above embodiment, step 6 includes: The embodiment of the present invention selects the collected data of the first vehicle, performs vehicle trajectory point clustering, trajectory line recognition, data resampling, and solves calibration parameters, and uses the millimeter-wave radar calibration parameters to calibrate the collected data of the second vehicle for verification and evaluation.

[0054] (1) Extracting lane centerline High-precision maps using the ASAM OpenDRIVE standard, which uses concepts such as sections, lanes, lane segments, and intersections to define road features, such as Figure 3 As shown, the precise WGS-84 coordinates of the centerline of each lane are obtained.

[0055] (2) Calculation error The distance between the calibrated mapped WGS-84 coordinates and the high-precision map lane centerline WGS-84 coordinates is calculated using formula (8) to calculate the foot point on the lane centerline, and then the Vincenty formula is used to determine the distance. This distance is used to measure the millimeter wave radar calibration accuracy. (8) In the formula, Indicates the foot point, Indicates the WGS-84 coordinates mapped after calibration. Indicates the center line of the lane. Vehicle positioning needs to meet the lane-level positioning accuracy in V2X applications, and the absolute positioning accuracy must be within 1.5m.

[0056] The predicted error value is 1.5m. The average distance error and the preset error value are determined. If the average distance difference is not greater than the preset error, the millimeter wave radar calibration is qualified; otherwise, recalibrate.
