Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer vision technology, and in particular to a method and system for identifying an aircraft taxiing trajectory. Background Art

[0002] The aircraft runway trajectory is the core parameter of the airport pavement structure design and evaluation, affecting key indicators such as pavement panel thickness, pavement panel classification level, and cumulative damage factor. Comprehensively grasping the distribution range and regularity of aircraft runway trajectory information can not only improve pavement utilization efficiency and reduce maintenance costs, but also effectively improve the safety and economy of airport facilities, which is of great significance to the design and operation of long-life pavements.

[0003] Domestic and foreign technologies mainly use infrared, embedded sensors and laser sensing technologies to measure the taxiing trajectory. Among them, infrared technology relies on infrared beams to detect the position of the wheels, but is easily interfered by external heat sources and obstacles; embedded vibration sensors are based on optical fiber technology and are suitable for point-like monitoring of large areas, but they need to be buried in the road surface, which limits their application in service runways; laser ranging technology uses high-frequency lasers to measure the distance between the wheels and the centerline of the runway, which has high accuracy and anti-interference, but requires angle correction and has high equipment costs.

[0004] In addition, the existing methods are mainly cross-sectional monitoring, which makes it difficult to obtain the global trajectory distribution characteristics of taxiways and runways. The trajectory distribution of different aircraft varies significantly due to factors such as speed, taxiing status, and aircraft model. Single cross-sectional data is difficult to fully reflect its lateral and longitudinal distribution patterns, limiting the comprehensiveness of taxiing trajectory observations.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, this embodiment provides a method for identifying the taxiing trajectory of an aircraft, see Figure 1 , including the following steps: S1, obtain the intrinsic parameters of the camera installed on the belly of the aircraft, and establish the conversion relationship between the camera coordinate system and the pixel coordinate system.

[0025] Specifically, the equation form of the camera intrinsic parameter is as follows: , (1) Where: For the camera Axis and The focal length of the axis, is the camera principal point coordinate. Camera coordinate system With pixel coordinate system The relationship is: , (2) S2, uses the distortion parameters of the camera to correct the image, obtains the corrected image coordinates and uses filtering, histogram equalization and other methods to enhance the image quality and highlight the target features.

[0026] Specifically, image correction uses the camera’s distortion parameters (radial distortion coefficient and tangential distortion coefficient ), use the following formula to correct the image.

[0027] The image coordinates are normalized using the camera internal parameters: , (3) , (4) , (5) , (6) In the formula, is the pixel coordinate of the distorted image, is the normalized pixel coordinate, is the radial distance of the normalized pixel coordinates from the principal point.

[0028] S3, using the improved YOLO-Pose algorithm, performs target detection and key point extraction on the calibrated image. The left main wheel center point coordinates, the right main wheel center point coordinates, and the runway center line feature point set regarded as the center line.

[0029] Specifically, YOLO-Pose detection is a single-stage target detection and pose estimation method based on deep learning. Based on the YOLO detection framework, the algorithm adds a pose regression branch to achieve 3D pose estimation of the object by learning the key point coordinates of the target. YOLO-Pose has the advantages of real-time and high precision. The model returns the following parameters: Left main wheel key point set: , the key point set of the right main wheel: , nose wheel key point set: , the ground runway centerline feature point set: .

[0030] S4 uses the PnP (Perspective-n-Point) algorithm to calculate the three-dimensional coordinates and attitude of the main wheel and the centerline of the ground runway by combining the camera intrinsic parameters and the known physical dimensions of the main wheel.

[0031] Specifically, the three-dimensional position calculation of the main wheels, for the left and right main wheels and the nose wheel, the key point coordinates of their three-dimensional models in the world coordinate system are known The corresponding image coordinates , use the PnP algorithm to solve the camera posture The basic formula of the PnP problem is: , (7) In the formula, is the scale factor. Assume the ground is flat , using the estimated camera pose , map the image points of the ground runway centerline to the world coordinate system: , (8) Get the three-dimensional coordinate set of the ground runway centerline feature points in the world coordinate system .

[0032] S5, based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the main wheels and the centerline of the ground runway, calculate the aircraft heading, fit the straight line equation of the ground runway centerline, and obtain the offset angle of the aircraft relative to the centerline of the ground runway and offset distance , repeat the above process to draw the trajectory diagram of the aircraft taxiing process.

[0033] Specifically, for the offset angle and offset distance, the offset angle is calculated using the following formula: , (9) In the formula, Represents the aircraft nose heading vector, in the assumed space coordinate system, , represents transpose, represents the modulo operation, Represents the ground runway centerline vector, which is obtained by RANSAC linear fitting of the ground runway centerline key point set. Randomly select two points and calculate the candidate line model. Calculate the distance from all feature points to the line model and set the distance less than the threshold The points are counted as inliers. Record the number of inliers in the current model and repeat the above steps. The model with the largest number of inliers is selected as the best straight line model. For all inliers in the best model, the least squares method is used to refit the straight line and calculate the slope. : , (10) In the formula, are the interior point coordinates, and is the average value of the interior point coordinates.

[0034] Then calculate the direction vector of the line for: , (11) The offset distance is calculated using the following formula: , (12) In the formula, are the coordinates of the center points of the left and right wheels, is any point in the set of characteristic points of the centerline of the ground runway, Represents a modulo operation.

[0035] The following takes the taxiing trajectory recognition of an actual aircraft takeoff process as an example.

[0036] Near the nose wheel of the aircraft, a camera is installed facing the center point of the left and right wheels. The camera is installed at a height of 1.0 m , the resolution is 1250x690 pixels, and the field of view is 90 degrees. The Zhang Zhengyou calibration method is used to calibrate the camera internal parameters to obtain the camera internal parameters: , principal point coordinates , .The distortion parameters are: , , .

[0037] The original image is distorted using known distortion coefficients to eliminate the effects of image distortion, and the image is enhanced using median filtering and histogram equalization methods to improve the recognizability of key features.

[0038] Using the trained YOLO-Pose model, we performed target detection on the corrected and enhanced image and successfully detected the following feature points of the left main wheel: , right main wheel feature point , the ground runway centerline feature point set .

[0039] In this embodiment, since the camera is installed facing the center points of the left and right wheels, the plane where the left and right wheel feature points are located is relatively parallel to the plane where the ground runway centerline feature points are located without tilt. According to formula (7), the projection of each three-dimensional point to the camera plane can be calculated, and the depth change caused by perspective projection can be ignored. It is approximately assumed that there is a linear proportional relationship between the image coordinates and the actual coordinates. It is known that the actual distance between the main wheels is , the left and right wheel image coordinates are The directional pixel difference is 343 pixels, and the proportional relationship can be calculated as: ,

[0040] Calculate the midpoint coordinates of the left and right main wheels: , ,

[0041] The RANSAC algorithm and formula (10) are used to fit the centerline of the ground runway. The equation of the fitted line is: . Use equations (11) and (12) to calculate the pixel offset distance, convert the pixel distance into the actual distance, and draw the left and right wheel offset distances, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the 0 on the horizontal axis represents the straight line corresponding to the center line of the ground runway, the left half dotted line represents the trajectory of the rear left wheel, the right half dotted line represents the trajectory of the rear right wheel, and the vertical axis represents the runway direction.

[0042] Repeat the above steps for the entire takeoff process to complete the takeoff trajectory diagram of the aircraft, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0043] In summary, by adopting the aircraft taxiing trajectory recognition method of this embodiment, the aircraft taxiing trajectory recognition range and accuracy can be effectively improved, providing a data basis for airport pavement design and evaluation.
