[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0048] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0049] With the development of intelligent transportation systems and autonomous driving technology, the demand for accurate monitoring of vehicle location and trajectory is growing. This demand not only involves improving navigation accuracy, but also relates to vehicle safety, traffic flow management, and accident analysis. At present, the acquisition of vehicle trajectory mainly depends on the Tbox terminal device, which obtains the latitude and longitude information of the vehicle through the GPS module and uploads it to the server. The server then performs reverse address resolution, converts the latitude and longitude information into actual location names, and draws the trajectory of the vehicle based on this information. This method can provide continuous vehicle location tracking under ideal conditions, but there are some limitations in practical applications. Although the Tbox terminal device provides a means of vehicle trajectory monitoring, its accuracy and reliability are limited by many factors. These factors cause the actual position and trajectory of the vehicle to drift, and cannot truly reflect the actual driving conditions of the vehicle.

[0050] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: This embodiment first collects the target image data of the vehicle's surrounding environment captured by the vehicle-mounted camera and the vehicle's surrounding environment parameters detected by the on-board sensor through the Tbox terminal device to ensure that basic information about the vehicle and its environment is available. Then the data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device is integrated with similar data uploaded by other vehicles. By aggregating data from multiple vehicles, the comprehensiveness and diversity of the information are enhanced. Finally, the collected data is compared and analyzed using the environmental model library, and the accuracy of positioning is improved by matching and comparing the data. This embodiment can accurately determine the location and dynamic trajectory information of the target vehicle. Not only does it improve the accuracy of positioning, it also effectively solves the problem of single reliance on the Tbox device and improves the reliability of trajectory drawing.

[0051] It should be noted that the execution subject of the embodiment of the present application can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, etc. The following takes the server as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0052] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining a driving trajectory, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the method for determining a vehicle trajectory of the present application.

[0053] In this embodiment, the driving trajectory determination method includes steps S10 to S20:

[0054] Step S10, obtaining data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device, wherein the data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device includes target image data of the vehicle surrounding environment collected by the vehicle-mounted camera and target environment parameters of the vehicle surrounding environment detected by the vehicle-mounted sensor;

[0055] It should be noted that the Tbox terminal device can be a smart terminal device installed in the vehicle, which is responsible for collecting and transmitting various types of vehicle data. The data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device mainly includes target image data and target environmental parameters. The target image data can be image data of the vehicle's surrounding environment collected by the vehicle-mounted camera. These image data may include road condition information in front of, behind, and on both sides of the vehicle, such as road signs, traffic signals, surrounding buildings, natural landscapes and other visual information. These image data are essential for understanding the specific environment and traffic conditions in which the vehicle is located. The target environmental parameters can be parameters of the vehicle's surrounding environment detected by the on-board sensors, such as vehicle speed, acceleration, direction, temperature, humidity, positioning information, etc. These environmental parameters provide detailed information on the vehicle's operating status and external environmental conditions.

[0056] It is understandable that the Tbox terminal device is responsible for collecting and uploading key data of the vehicle, including image information about the vehicle's surrounding environment captured by the on-board camera, such as roads, traffic signs and surrounding buildings, as well as environmental parameters detected by the vehicle's sensors, such as vehicle speed, acceleration and temperature. These data together provide the necessary information for the vehicle's precise positioning and trajectory tracking.

[0057] As an example, before obtaining the data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device, it also includes: obtaining a preset acquisition time threshold; sending an information acquisition request to the target vehicle according to the preset acquisition time threshold, so that the target vehicle feeds back a target data packet according to the information acquisition request, and the target data packet includes target image data, and the target image data is based on the omnidirectional camera on the target vehicle according to the preset photo taking time, and is obtained after caching and compression.

[0058] The preset acquisition time threshold may be a preset time parameter used to define when to send a data acquisition request to the vehicle. This threshold may be based on a time interval (e.g., every 10 minutes) or a specific event trigger (e.g., when the vehicle enters a specific area). The information acquisition request may be a request signal sent to the target vehicle according to the preset acquisition time threshold, with the purpose of requesting the vehicle to provide current or recently collected data. This request may be automatic or triggered by an external event. The target data packet may be a collection of data fed back to the system by the target vehicle according to the information acquisition request. This data packet usually includes various sensor data of the vehicle and image data captured by the camera, which are used for subsequent vehicle position and trajectory analysis. The preset photo shooting time may be the time point at which the on-board camera automatically shoots images according to a preset time interval. These time points may be fixed (e.g., once every 30 seconds) or dynamically determined based on specific conditions (e.g., when the vehicle speed changes). The preset photo shooting time ensures the continuity and consistency of the image data, which is crucial for subsequent data analysis and determination of the vehicle trajectory. After receiving the information acquisition request, the camera will shoot in the direction set by the user and upload the image at least every 10 minutes, and the interval period can also be set by the user. The image materials obtained before uploading will be temporarily cached in the electronic control unit, and the cached and compressed material resources will be uploaded to the server through Tbox.

[0059] Specifically, a preset time threshold is first determined, that is, a specific time interval is set to trigger data collection. When this preset time point is reached, an information acquisition request is sent to the target vehicle, requesting the vehicle to upload the image data captured by its omnidirectional camera at the preset photo taking time point and processed by cache and compression. These image data are then packaged into target data packets and fed back to the system for further vehicle position and trajectory analysis.

[0060] Step S20, combining the data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device with the data uploaded by other vehicles, and determining the accurate position and dynamic trajectory information of the target vehicle through comparative analysis of the environmental model library, wherein the environmental database includes at least the position information and a feature vector associated with the position information.

[0061] It should be noted that the environmental model library can be a database that stores environmental parameters and feature information related to the vehicle's location, which may include but is not limited to images of surrounding buildings, traffic signs, natural landscapes, and reference image data and environmental parameters uploaded by other vehicles. This library is used to compare and analyze the data uploaded in real time to determine the exact location and trajectory of the vehicle. The accurate location and dynamic trajectory information can be obtained by analyzing and processing the data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device and comparing it with the data uploaded by other vehicles, and the exact location of the vehicle in a specific time and space and its movement path that changes over time. The target vehicle can be a vehicle that is tracked and analyzed in a specific scenario. In this solution, by combining the data uploaded by the target vehicle itself and the data provided by other vehicles, and using the environmental model library for comprehensive analysis, the location and trajectory of the target vehicle can be determined more accurately, thereby improving the accuracy of vehicle monitoring and navigation.

[0062] It is understandable that combining the data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device with the data uploaded by other vehicles can integrate the environmental images captured by the on-board camera of a single vehicle and the environmental parameters detected by the sensor, as well as similar data from other vehicles. These integrated data are compared and analyzed through comparative analysis of the environmental model library. Determine the exact location of the target vehicle, that is, the vehicle whose position and trajectory we are monitoring and analyzing, at any given point in time, as well as its movement path, that is, dynamic trajectory information. This method can improve the accuracy of positioning, especially when the GPS signal is weak or unavailable, through data sharing and environmental feature comparison between vehicles, to achieve accurate monitoring of the position and trajectory of the target vehicle.

[0063] As an example, before the data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device is combined with the data uploaded by other vehicles and compared and analyzed through the environmental model library to determine the accurate position and dynamic trajectory information of the target vehicle, it also includes: obtaining reference image data and reference environmental parameters based on the data uploaded by other vehicles, and the reference image data at least includes surrounding building images, traffic sign images, and natural landscape images; extracting features from the image data and converting them into initial feature vectors; associating the reference environmental parameters with the initial feature vectors to construct an environmental model library.

[0064] The reference image data includes the surrounding environment images captured by the on-board cameras of other vehicles, including at least the following types of images: surrounding building images, traffic sign images, and natural landscape images. The reference environment parameters may be environmental parameters associated with the reference image data, which may include but are not limited to vehicle speed, acceleration, temperature, humidity, etc. These parameters provide the specific environmental conditions of the vehicle when the image data was taken. The initial feature vector may be a numerical representation of the key visual features extracted from the reference image data, and the image is converted into a set of numerical values ​​that can be used for comparison and analysis through the feature extraction process. These features may include color histograms, texture features, shape descriptors, etc., which can represent the core visual information of the image and are used for subsequent image matching and analysis.

[0065] Specifically, reference image data, including images of surrounding buildings, traffic signs, and natural landscapes, are extracted from data collected by other vehicles, and then features are extracted from these images to convert them into initial feature vectors, which represent the key visual features of the images. Next, reference environmental parameters are associated with these initial feature vectors to build an environmental model library, which is used for subsequent vehicle position and trajectory determination, and improves positioning accuracy by matching the data uploaded by the target vehicle with the data in the library.

[0066] As an example, associating the reference environment parameters with the initial feature vector to construct an environment model library includes: obtaining position parameters according to the reference environment parameters; associating the position parameters with the initial feature vector to construct an environment model library.

[0067] Among them, the location parameters can be data directly related to the geographic location extracted or calculated from the reference environment parameters. These parameters can provide the exact location information of the vehicle in the physical world, usually including but not limited to latitude and longitude coordinates, which are the most commonly used location parameters, indicating the precise location of the vehicle in the global positioning system (GPS); altitude, that is, the height of the vehicle relative to the sea level, which is sometimes also considered as part of the location parameters; road information, that is, the name of the road where the vehicle is located, the type of road (such as highways, urban roads, etc.); surrounding points of interest (POI), that is, specific places near the vehicle, such as gas stations, restaurants, shopping malls, etc. By associating these location parameters with the initial feature vector (i.e., the visual features extracted from the image data), a rich environmental model library can be constructed. This library contains not only visual information, but also specific location information related to this visual information, so that when performing vehicle position and trajectory analysis, the visual data can be more accurately matched with the actual geographic location. This method of combining visual and location information improves the accuracy and reliability of vehicle positioning, especially in areas with similar visual environments or limited GPS signals.

[0068] Specifically, key location information, i.e., location parameters, are extracted from the reference environment parameters. These parameters directly indicate the geographic location of the vehicle, such as latitude and longitude coordinates, road information, etc. Subsequently, these location parameters are linked to the initial feature vector extracted from the reference image data, and the visual information is closely combined with the geographic location to jointly construct an environmental model library. This library can provide an accurate reference for subsequent vehicle location determination and trajectory tracking, so that by comparing the data uploaded by the target vehicle with the data in the library, the actual location and dynamic trajectory of the vehicle can be determined more accurately.

[0069] As an example, after associating the reference environmental parameters with the initial feature vector and constructing the environmental model library, it also includes: obtaining a preset update time threshold; when the time for constructing the environmental model library reaches the preset update time threshold, analyzing the extended data according to the machine learning algorithm, and extracting the reference feature vector, the extended data includes extended image data and extended environmental parameters, and the extended data is obtained based on data uploaded by other vehicles before reaching the preset update time threshold; associating the reference feature vector with the extended environmental parameters, and updating the environmental model library.

[0070] Among them, the preset update time threshold may be a set time parameter used to determine when to update the environment model library. When the time since the last update reaches this preset threshold, the update process is triggered. The machine learning algorithm may be an algorithm that learns and extracts patterns through data analysis, and is used to identify useful information and patterns from a large amount of data for prediction or classification. The time for building the environment model library may be the time since the last update of the environment model library. This time length is compared with the preset update time threshold to determine whether an update is required. The extended data may be new data uploaded based on other vehicles before the preset update time threshold is reached. These data are used to update and expand the environment model library. The reference feature vectors may be feature vectors extracted from the extended data, which represent the key visual features of the newly collected image data and are used to update the environment model library. The extended image data may be newly collected image data of the vehicle's surroundings, which may include new images of buildings, traffic signs, natural landscapes, etc. The extended environmental parameters may be environmental parameters associated with the extended image data, such as new location information, timestamps, meteorological conditions, etc.

[0071] Specifically, this process describes an automated environment model library update mechanism that first sets a preset update time threshold, and when the time since the last update reaches this threshold, the update process is initiated. At this point, the machine learning algorithm is applied to the extended data collected from other vehicles during this period, which includes additional image data and environmental parameters. The algorithm analyzes and extracts new reference feature vectors from these extended data, which capture the key visual features of the new image data. These newly extracted feature vectors are then associated with the corresponding extended environmental parameters and integrated into the environment model library to ensure that the data in the library remains up to date and accurate, thereby improving the accuracy of vehicle position and trajectory determination.

[0072] This embodiment provides a method for determining a driving trajectory. This embodiment first uses a Tbox terminal device to collect target image data of the vehicle's surroundings captured by the vehicle-mounted camera and parameters of the vehicle's surroundings detected by the on-board sensor to ensure that basic information about the vehicle and its environment is available. Then the data uploaded by the Tbox terminal device is integrated with similar data uploaded by other vehicles. By aggregating data from multiple vehicles, the comprehensiveness and diversity of the information are enhanced. Finally, the collected data is compared and analyzed using the environmental model library, and the accuracy of positioning is improved by matching and comparing the data. This embodiment can accurately determine the location and dynamic trajectory information of the target vehicle. Not only does it improve the accuracy of positioning, it also effectively solves the problem of single reliance on the Tbox device and improves the reliability of trajectory drawing.

[0073] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can refer to the above introduction, and will not be repeated later. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the second embodiment of the driving trajectory determination method of the present application. Step S20 of the driving trajectory determination method includes steps S21 to S24:

[0074] Step S21, extracting the target image data to obtain a target feature vector;

[0075] It should be noted that the target feature vector can be a set of feature values ​​extracted from the target image data, which can represent or describe the key information and significant attributes in the image. The target feature vector usually contains statistical features or visual features extracted from the vehicle surrounding environment image collected by the vehicle-mounted camera, such as edges, corners, textures, color distribution, etc. These feature vectors can be used to identify and compare the similarities between different images to help determine the precise position and trajectory of the vehicle. The target feature vector may include color features, texture features, shape features, spatial relationship features, depth features, etc. By quantifying these features into numerical vectors, they can be easily processed and compared in a computer system, thereby achieving accurate identification of the vehicle position and accurate drawing of the trajectory.

[0076] It can be understood that key visual features such as color, texture, shape and spatial relationship are identified and quantified from the images of the vehicle's surrounding environment captured by the on-board camera, and then these features are converted into a set of numerical values ​​to form a feature vector. This vector can represent the core information of the image and is used for subsequent comparative analysis of the environmental model library to determine the precise position and trajectory of the vehicle.

[0077] Step S22, comparing the target feature vector with the environment model library to obtain a corresponding matching feature vector;

[0078] It should be noted that the matching feature vector refers to the feature vector found in the environment model library that is most similar or matching to the target feature vector. This process usually involves feature extraction, library search, and then comparing the target feature vector with a large number of feature vectors stored in the environment model library. Then, through similarity calculation, the similarity or distance between the target feature vector and each feature vector in the library is calculated to determine which feature vectors are closest to the target feature vector. Finally, the feature vector with the highest similarity to the target feature vector is selected as the matching feature vector. These matching feature vectors represent the features in the environment model library that are closest to the current environment of the target vehicle.

[0079] It can be understood that the algorithm is used to search the environmental model library for the vector that is most similar to the target feature vector extracted from the image data collected by the vehicle-mounted camera. This process is achieved by calculating the similarity between the target feature vector and each feature vector stored in the library, and finally the feature vector with the highest match with the target feature vector is selected. These matching feature vectors can provide strong reference information for determining the precise position and trajectory of the vehicle.

[0080] Step S23, obtaining associated environment parameters based on the matching feature vector;

[0081] It should be noted that the associated environmental parameters can be a series of environmental parameters associated with the matching feature vector, which provide the actual environmental information corresponding to the feature vector. In the technical solution for determining the vehicle trajectory, these environmental parameters may include but are not limited to geographic location information, that is, the geographic location matched with the feature vector, such as latitude and longitude coordinates; timestamp, that is, the time information when the feature vector is collected or matched; meteorological conditions, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc., which may affect vehicle driving and sensor readings; road characteristics, such as road type (highway, urban road, etc.), road surface conditions (slippery, icy, etc.); surrounding environmental characteristics, including descriptions of surrounding buildings, traffic signs, natural landscapes, etc. By combining the matching feature vector with these associated environmental parameters, the location of the vehicle can be determined more accurately because these parameters provide the environment in which the vehicle is located. This method enables accurate tracking of the vehicle's location and trajectory through the vehicle's sensor data and camera images, combined with the information in the environmental model library, even when the GPS signal is poor or missing.

[0082] It can be understood that after finding feature vectors that match the target feature vector in the environmental model library, specific environmental parameters associated with these matching feature vectors are extracted, such as latitude and longitude coordinates, timestamps, weather conditions, traffic conditions, and road characteristics. These parameters provide detailed environmental information about the vehicle's location and can more accurately determine the vehicle's precise location and trajectory.

[0083] Step S24, determining the accurate position and dynamic trajectory information of the target vehicle based on the associated environment parameters and the target environment parameters.

[0084] It can be understood that by using the associated environmental parameters matched with the target feature vector obtained from the environmental model library, combined with the target environmental parameters detected in real time by the vehicle sensor, the geographical location and motion state of the vehicle are comprehensively evaluated by comparing and analyzing these two parameters, so as to accurately determine the exact location of the target vehicle at a specific time point and the driving trajectory that changes over time. This process is equivalent to matching the actual perception data of the vehicle with the historical environmental data to achieve high-precision monitoring of the vehicle's location and trajectory.

[0085] As an example, based on the associated environment parameters and the target environment parameters, the accurate position and dynamic trajectory information of the target vehicle are determined, including: obtaining corresponding reference trajectory information and initial trajectory information according to the associated environment parameters and the target environment parameters respectively; and obtaining the target vehicle position and target trajectory information by combining the reference trajectory information and the initial trajectory information.

[0086] Among them, the reference trajectory information can be trajectory information obtained based on associated environmental parameters, which are associated with matching feature vectors in the environmental model library. The reference trajectory information usually contains the historical position and trajectory data of the vehicle under specific environmental characteristics, which are used as references for comparison with the real-time data of the target vehicle. The initial trajectory information can be trajectory information obtained directly from the data collected by the sensors and cameras of the target vehicle, that is, trajectory information obtained based on the data of the target vehicle itself before comparative analysis with the environmental model library. The position of the target vehicle can be the exact geographical location of the target vehicle at a specific time point determined after combining the reference trajectory information and the initial trajectory information, such as longitude and latitude coordinates. The target trajectory information can be the moving path of the target vehicle over time, which is the trajectory obtained after combining the reference trajectory information and the initial trajectory information. This trajectory information is more accurate and reliable because it combines the vehicle's own sensor data and the historical data in the environmental model library, and is optimized and corrected through comparative analysis.

[0087] Specifically, the target vehicle's associated environmental parameters (parameters associated with the matching feature vector obtained from the environmental model library) and the target environmental parameters (environmental parameters detected by the target vehicle in real time) are used to obtain two sets of trajectory information: reference trajectory information and initial trajectory information. The reference trajectory information is a trajectory derived based on historical data and environmental models, while the initial trajectory information is obtained directly from the real-time data of the target vehicle. Finally, by combining these two sets of information, calibrating and optimizing the trajectory data, a more accurate target vehicle position and complete target trajectory information are obtained, which helps to improve the accuracy of vehicle navigation and monitoring.

[0088] This embodiment first extracts key visual features from the target image data collected by the vehicle-mounted camera to form a target feature vector. This step provides basic data for subsequent environmental feature matching. Then the target feature vector is compared with a large number of feature vectors stored in the environmental model library to find the most matching feature vector. This step provides a possible reference point for determining the vehicle position through the data support in the library. Then the associated environmental parameters are extracted from the matching feature vector. These parameters provide environmental information closely related to the vehicle position and provide important clues for accurate positioning. Finally, the associated environmental parameters obtained by combining the matching feature vector and the target environmental parameters detected in real time by the vehicle sensor are comprehensively analyzed to determine the accurate position and dynamic trajectory information of the target vehicle. This step realizes accurate monitoring of the vehicle position. This embodiment improves the accuracy and reliability of vehicle positioning by fusing real-time data with historical model library data, especially in the case of poor or missing GPS signals. This method can provide an effective alternative positioning solution to ensure the continuity and accuracy of the vehicle trajectory.

In addition, the method also involves obtaining reference trajectory information and initial trajectory information according to the associated environmental parameters and the target environmental parameters, respectively, and combining this information to obtain more accurate target vehicle position and trajectory information.
