[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] Figure 1 The flowchart of a radar result detection method provided in the first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the case of radar result detection, and the method can be executed by a radar result detection device, and the radar result detection device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software.

[0035] See also Figure 1The radar result detection method shown includes:

[0036] S101, obtaining obstacle point cloud detection results in a to-be-detected area of ​​a to-be-detected vehicle sent by a radar.

[0037] The vehicle to be detected may be a vehicle to be subjected to obstacle detection. The area to be detected may be an area to be subjected to obstacle detection corresponding to the vehicle to be detected. The obstacle point cloud detection result may be a collection of data of obstacles detected by the vehicle to be detected in the area to be detected.

[0038] Specifically, a point cloud refers to a set of discrete three-dimensional spatial data points obtained by a radar system. The radar system uses electromagnetic waves or lasers to transmit signals, and measures the distance, position, shape and other information of the target object by receiving the echo of the signal. When the radar system scans the surrounding environment, it will obtain a series of echo signals, which are processed to form a set of discrete three-dimensional coordinate points, namely, a point cloud. Each point in the point cloud contains the coordinate information of a certain position in space, usually in the form of (x, y, z), indicating the three-dimensional position of the point. In addition, each point in the point cloud may also carry other attribute information, such as intensity value, reflectivity, color, etc. The radar can detect obstacles in all directions around the vehicle to be detected. The obstacle point cloud detection results of the vehicle to be detected in the area to be detected sent by the radar can be obtained by limiting the area to be detected, thereby reducing the amount of data to be analyzed.

[0039] In one example, the obstacle point cloud detection results in the detection area of ​​the vehicle to be detected sent by the radar are obtained by a depth-first traversal algorithm. The obstacle point cloud detection results include: car 1-(1,1,1)-(0,0,0)(2,2,2); car 2-(4,4,4)-(3,3,3)(5,5,5).

[0040] S102: Perform target detection on the acquired image of the identifiable area to obtain an obstacle image detection result.

[0041] Among them, target detection can be detecting target objects from a given image or video, determining their position and size, and classifying or identifying them at the same time. The identifiable area can be the area to be detected. The obstacle image detection result can be a collection of data of obstacles identified in the identifiable area.

[0042] Specifically, image data collected by a camera in the identifiable area may be obtained, and target detection may be performed on the image data to obtain an obstacle image detection result in the identifiable area. The target detection algorithm may be Harr+Adaboost, HOG+SVM, DPM, R-CNN, Fast R-CNN, or YOLO, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0043] In an example, in a recognizable area, image data of a camera device is obtained, and target detection is performed on the image data using the YOLO algorithm to obtain obstacle image detection results, which include: car 1 - (1,1,1) - (0,0,0) (2,2,2); car 2 - (4,4,4) - (3,3,3) (5,5,5).

[0044] S103: Determine an obstacle space detection result according to the obstacle image detection result.

[0045] The obstacle space detection result may be coordinate data obtained by converting coordinate data in the obstacle image detection result of target detection into coordinate data.

[0046] Specifically, when performing target detection on image data, the coordinate data of the obstacle corresponds to the vehicle body coordinate system. However, the point cloud data is recorded in the laser radar coordinate system, so it is necessary to obtain the conversion matrix between the vehicle body coordinate system and the laser radar coordinate system, convert the coordinate data corresponding to the obstacle in the vehicle body coordinate system to the laser radar coordinate system, and determine the obstacle space detection result.

[0047] In an example, the coordinates of the center point of obstacle 1 detected in the vehicle body coordinate system are (x, y, z), and the transformation matrix between the vehicle body coordinate system and the laser radar coordinate system is matrix 1. Multiplying (x, y, z) with matrix 1, the coordinates of the center point of obstacle 1 in the laser radar coordinate system (x ′ ,y ′ ,z′).

[0048]

[0049] S104: Verify the obstacle point cloud detection result according to the obstacle space detection result.

[0050] Specifically, the obstacle point cloud detection result is evaluated and verified according to the obstacle space detection result obtained through target detection, the obstacle space detection result is used as the true value, the obstacle point cloud detection result is used as the test value, and the accuracy of the obstacle point cloud detection result is calculated.

[0051] In one example, the obstacle point cloud detection results include: car 1-(1,1,1)-(0,0,0)(2,2,2); car 2-(4,4,4)-(3,3,3)(5,5,5). The obstacle space detection results include: car 1-(1,1,1)-(0,0,0)(2,2,2); car 2-(4,4,4)-(3,3,3)(5,5,5). The obstacle point cloud detection results are verified according to the obstacle space detection results, and the accuracy of the obstacle point cloud detection results is 100%.

[0052] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention obtains the obstacle point cloud detection result in the detection area of ​​the vehicle to be detected sent by the radar, performs target detection on the image of the acquired identifiable area, obtains the obstacle image detection result, determines the obstacle space detection result according to the obstacle image detection result, verifies the obstacle point cloud detection result according to the obstacle space detection result, can automatically verify the obstacle point cloud detection result, improves the accuracy of radar result detection, and can automatically verify the obstacle point cloud detection result, improves the accuracy of radar detection result.

[0053] Embodiment 2

[0054] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a radar result detection method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment of the present invention optimizes and improves the radar result detection operation.

[0055] Further, "verifying the obstacle point cloud detection results according to the obstacle space detection results" is refined into "the obstacle point cloud detection results include: the obstacle type, obstacle center coordinates and detection frame area of ​​at least one obstacle; the obstacle image detection results include: the object type, object center coordinates and true value frame area of ​​at least one target object; for each obstacle, the obstacle center coordinates in the obstacle point cloud detection results are compared with the object center coordinates corresponding to each target object to determine the object at the same position corresponding to the obstacle; the obstacle type corresponding to the obstacle is compared with the object type corresponding to the object at the same position to determine the type comparison result; the obstacle space detection result is calculated according to the type comparison result, the detection frame area corresponding to the obstacle and the true value frame area corresponding to the object at the same position" to improve the operation of radar result detection.

[0056] It should be noted that for the parts not described in detail in the embodiments of the present invention, reference may be made to the descriptions of other embodiments.

[0057] See also Figure 2 The radar result detection method shown includes:

[0058] S201, obtaining obstacle point cloud detection results in the detection area of ​​the vehicle to be detected sent by the radar.

[0059] S202: Perform target detection on the acquired image of the identifiable area to obtain an obstacle image detection result.

[0060] S203: Determine an obstacle space detection result according to the obstacle image detection result.

[0061] S204. The obstacle point cloud detection result includes: the obstacle type, obstacle center coordinates and detection frame area of ​​at least one obstacle; the obstacle image detection result includes: the object type, object center coordinates and true value frame area of ​​at least one target object; for each obstacle, the obstacle center coordinates in the obstacle point cloud detection result are compared with the object center coordinates corresponding to each target object to determine the same-position object corresponding to the obstacle.

[0062] Among them, the obstacle type may be the type of obstacle detected by the radar. The obstacle center coordinates may be the coordinates of the center point of the obstacle detected by the radar. The detection frame area may be the area selected by the detection frame at the location of the obstacle detected by the radar from the driver's perspective. The target object may be an obstacle obtained by target detection. The object type may be the type of obstacle detected by the target. The object center coordinates may be the coordinates of the center point of the obstacle detected by the target. The true value frame area may be the area selected by the detection frame at the location of the obstacle detected by the target from the driver's perspective. The same-position object is used to describe that the coordinates of the center points of the obstacle detected by the radar and the obstacle detected by the target are the same.

[0063] Specifically, at least one obstacle is detected by radar, and for each obstacle, the coordinates of the center point corresponding to each obstacle are obtained. The coordinates of the center point corresponding to at least one target object obtained by target detection are obtained. For each obstacle, the obstacle center coordinates corresponding to the obstacle are compared with the object center coordinates corresponding to each target object, and the target object at the same position as each obstacle is obtained.

[0064] In one example, the obstacle point cloud detection results include: car 1-(1,1,1)-(0,0,0)(2,2,2); car 2-(4,4,4)-(3,3,3)(5,5,5). The obstacle space detection results include: car 3-(1,1,1)-(0,0,0)(2,2,2); truck 4-(8,8,8)-(7,7,7)(9,9,9). For car 1 and car 2, the obstacle center coordinates (1,1,1) of car 1 and the obstacle center coordinates (4,4,4) of car 2 in the obstacle point cloud detection results are compared with the object center coordinates corresponding to each target object, and it is determined that the object at the same location corresponding to car 1 is car 3.

[0065] S205: Compare the obstacle type corresponding to the obstacle with the object type corresponding to the object at the same position to determine a type comparison result.

[0066] The type comparison result may be a result of comparing the obstacle type of the obstacle with the object type corresponding to the object at the same position.

[0067] Specifically, the obstacle type and the object type with the same center point coordinates are compared to determine the type comparison result. If the type comparison result is the same type, it indicates that the position and type of the obstacle detected by the radar are correct; if the type comparison result is different types, it indicates that the position or type of the obstacle detected by the radar is incorrect.

[0068] In one example, the obstacle point cloud detection result includes: car 1-(1,1,1)-(0,0,0)(2,2,2). The obstacle space detection result includes: car 3-(1,1,1)-(0,0,0)(2,2,2). For car 1 and car 2, the object at the same location corresponding to car 1 is car 3. The obstacle type car corresponding to car 1 is compared with the object type car corresponding to car 3 at the same location, and it is determined that the type comparison result is the same type.

[0069] S206 , verifying the obstacle point cloud detection result according to the type comparison result, the detection frame area corresponding to the obstacle, and the true value frame area corresponding to the object at the same position.

[0070] Specifically, by comparing the center coordinates of the obstacle with the center coordinates of the target object, obstacles at the same position can be matched one-to-one to determine whether the spatial positions of the obstacles detected by the radar and the target are the same. The obstacle type of the obstacle at the same position is compared with the object type of the target object to determine whether the obstacle type detected by the radar is the same as the object type of the target object at the same position, and to determine whether the type of obstacle detected by the radar is accurate. The obstacle point cloud detection result is verified based on the calculation results of the detection frame area corresponding to the obstacle and the true value frame area corresponding to the object at the same position, and the size of the intersection area of ​​the detection frame area of ​​the obstacle detected by the radar and the area of ​​the true value frame area corresponding to the target object is calculated to determine whether the size of the obstacle identified by the radar is correct.

[0071] In one example, the obstacle point cloud detection results include: car 1-(1,1,1)-(0,0,0)(2,2,2). The obstacle space detection results include: car 3-(1,1,1)-(0,0,0)(2,2,2). For car 1 and car 2, the object at the same position corresponding to car 1 is car 3. The obstacle type car corresponding to car 1 is compared with the object type car corresponding to car 3 at the same position, and the type comparison result is determined to be the same type. The ratio of the intersection of the detection frame area corresponding to car 1 and the truth frame area corresponding to car 3 at the same position to the detection frame area corresponding to car 1 is 80%, and it is determined that the obstacle point cloud detection result is accurate.

[0072] The embodiment of the present invention compares the center coordinates of the obstacle in the obstacle point cloud detection result with the object center coordinates corresponding to each target object for each obstacle, determines the object at the same position corresponding to the obstacle, compares the obstacle type corresponding to the obstacle with the object type corresponding to the object at the same position to determine the type comparison result, verifies the obstacle point cloud detection result according to the type comparison result, the detection frame area corresponding to the obstacle, and the true value frame area corresponding to the object at the same position, and can automatically verify the obstacle point cloud detection result through multi-dimensional indicators, thereby improving the accuracy of radar result detection.

[0073] Optionally, the obstacle point cloud detection result is verified according to the type comparison result, the detection frame area corresponding to the obstacle and the true value frame area corresponding to the object at the same position, including: if the type comparison result is that the type is different, re-obtaining the obstacle point cloud detection result, and then verifying the obstacle point cloud detection result; if the type comparison result is that the type is the same, verifying the obstacle point cloud detection result according to the ratio of the intersection area of ​​the detection frame area corresponding to the obstacle and the true value frame area corresponding to the object at the same position to the detection frame area corresponding to the obstacle.

[0074] Specifically, if the type comparison result is a different type, it means that the radar detection is inaccurate, and the obstacle point cloud detection result is re-acquired and then verified; if the type comparison result is the same type, it means that the radar detection is accurate, and the obstacle point cloud detection result is verified according to the ratio of the intersection area of ​​the detection frame area corresponding to the obstacle and the true value frame area corresponding to the object at the same position to the detection frame area corresponding to the obstacle to determine whether the obstacle size recognition is accurate.

[0075] By performing different operations on different types of comparison results, the operation of radar result detection is refined and the accuracy of radar result detection is improved.

[0076] Optionally, after determining the obstacle space detection result according to the obstacle image detection result, the method further includes: counting the number of obstacles of the same type as the type comparison result to obtain the accurate identification number; the same type of obstacles refers to obstacles whose obstacle center coordinates are the same as the object center coordinates of the target object, and whose obstacle type is the same as the object type of the target object; counting the number of each obstacle to obtain the total number of obstacles; calculating the segmentation accuracy based on the accurate identification number and the total number of obstacles, and verifying the obstacle point cloud detection result based on the segmentation accuracy.

[0077] The accurate number of obstacles identified can be the accurate number of obstacles detected by the radar by comparing the obstacle point cloud detection result with the obstacle space detection result. The total number of obstacles can be the total number of obstacles detected by the radar in the area to be detected. The segmentation accuracy can be the accuracy of the radar in detecting obstacles.

[0078] Specifically, the number of obstacles with the same type as the type comparison result is counted to obtain the accurate number of identification, and then the number of obstacles detected by the radar is counted to obtain the total number of obstacles. The ratio of the accurate number of identification and the total number of obstacles is calculated to obtain the segmentation accuracy. The obstacle point cloud detection result can be verified according to the segmentation accuracy.

[0079] In one example, the number of obstacles with the same type compared is counted, and the number of accurately identified obstacles is 5. The number of obstacles detected by the radar is counted, and the total number of obstacles is 6. The ratio of the accurately identified number to the total number of obstacles is calculated to be 83%.

[0080] The segmentation accuracy is obtained by calculation, and the obstacle point cloud detection results are verified according to the segmentation accuracy, without the need for manual calculation, which improves the efficiency of radar result detection.

[0081] Optionally, after determining the obstacle space detection result according to the obstacle image detection result, the method further includes: identifying each target object to obtain at least one in-lane object and at least one non-in-lane object; counting the number of in-lane objects and non-in-lane objects to obtain the number of in-lane objects and the number of non-in-lane objects; calculating the segmentation recall rate according to the accurate number of identifications, the total number of obstacles, the number of in-lane objects and the number of non-in-lane objects; and verifying the obstacle point cloud detection result according to the segmentation recall rate.

[0082] Among them, the in-lane object may be an object located on the lane in the identifiable area. The non-in-lane object may be an object on the lane that is not in the identifiable area. The in-lane number may be the number of obstacles detected in the in-lane area. The non-in-lane number may be the number of obstacles detected in the identifiable area that are not in the in-lane area. The segmentation recall rate may be the ratio of the number of identified obstacles to the number of obstacles actually existing.

[0083] In one example, the radar detects 10 obstacles. The image of the identifiable area is subjected to target detection, and 7 obstacles are detected, including 5 objects in the lane and 2 objects outside the lane. The ratio of the number of objects in the lane to the total number of obstacles is 5 divided by 10, so the recall rate for the objects in the lane is 50%.

[0084] By identifying each target object, at least one in-lane object and at least one out-of-lane object are obtained, and the number of in-lane objects and out-of-lane objects is counted to obtain the number in the lane and the number out of the lane. The segmentation recall rate is calculated based on the accurate number of identifications, the total number of obstacles, the number in the lane and the number out of the lane. The obstacle point cloud detection result is verified according to the segmentation recall rate. The obstacle point cloud detection result can be verified by the segmentation recall rate, which improves the accuracy of radar result detection.

[0085] Optionally, each target object is identified to obtain at least one in-lane object and at least one out-of-lane object, including: obtaining a true value frame area corresponding to each target object; for each target object, comparing the true value frame area corresponding to the target object with the area to be detected to obtain an area overlap ratio corresponding to the target object; obtaining an area ratio threshold; for each target object, if the area overlap ratio is greater than or equal to the area ratio threshold, determining the target object as an in-lane object; if the area overlap ratio is less than the area ratio threshold, determining the target object as an out-of-lane object.

[0086] The area overlap ratio may be a ratio of the intersection area of ​​the true value frame area corresponding to the target object and the area to be detected to the area to be detected. The area ratio threshold may be a preset threshold of the area overlap ratio.

[0087] In an example, the true value frame area (0,0,0)(2,2,2) corresponding to the target object 1 is obtained; for the target object 1, the true value frame area (0,0,0)(2,2,2) corresponding to the target object 1 is compared with the area to be detected (0,0,0)(2,2,2), and the area overlap ratio corresponding to the target object 1 is 100%; the area ratio threshold of 80% is obtained; for the target object 1, if the area overlap ratio is greater than the area ratio threshold, the target object 1 is determined to be an object in the lane.

[0088] For each target object, if the area overlap ratio is greater than or equal to the area ratio threshold, the target object is determined to be an in-lane object; if the area overlap ratio is less than the area ratio threshold, the target object is determined to be a non-in-lane object. The target objects can be classified more finely, and different operations can be performed for different classifications to improve the accuracy of radar detection results.

[0089] Optionally, before obtaining the obstacle point cloud detection result in the detection area of ​​the vehicle to be detected sent by the radar, it also includes: obtaining map information, positioning information and target radius corresponding to the vehicle to be detected, the map information includes: lane area and intersection area; calculating the sensitive area corresponding to the vehicle to be detected according to the positioning information and target radius corresponding to the vehicle to be detected; and determining the intersection area of ​​the lane area, intersection area and sensitive area corresponding to the vehicle to be detected as the detection area corresponding to the vehicle to be detected.

[0090] The map information may be the road information where the vehicle to be detected is located. The positioning information may be the location data of the area to be detected. The target radius may be the radius of the circular area detectable by the vehicle to be detected. The lane area may be the area of ​​the lane in the map information of the area to be detected corresponding to the vehicle to be detected. The intersection area may be the area of ​​the intersection in the map information of the area to be detected corresponding to the vehicle to be detected. The sensible area may be the area formed by drawing a circle with the target radius with the location of the vehicle to be detected as the center.

[0091] Specifically, for the obstacle point cloud detection results, the obstacle point cloud detection results can be preprocessed, including: filtering the point cloud outside the road in combination with the positioning information and the map information, filtering the point cloud outside the detection range, and filtering the point cloud with abnormal values ​​(such as null values). Figure 3 As shown, the map provides lane areas and intersection areas. The lane areas and intersection areas within a certain range of the current position of the vehicle to be detected (such as the target radius R in the figure) are obtained based on the positioning information, and the intersection area of ​​the areas is used as the area to be detected. For the point cloud, ground detection is performed, and the ground point cloud is filtered out through the ground segmentation algorithm, and the obstacle point cloud above the ground is retained. The ground segmentation algorithm includes but is not limited to: ground plane fitting or ground line fitting under polar coordinates, etc., and the present invention does not make specific restrictions. According to the map information and positioning information, obstacles outside the map are filtered out, such as Figure 3 Obstacle A in the middle, keep the obstacles in the map such as Figure 4 For obstacles in the middle, if it is a motor vehicle, the number of vertices of the obstacle in the lane is determined. The obstacle has 8 vertices in total. If 6 or more are in the lane area, the target is retained. Figure 3 Obstacle C, otherwise it will not be retained. Figure 3 Obstacle D; if it is a non-motor vehicle, if it is at the road boundary, it will not be retained, such as Figure 3 Medium obstacle E.
