Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent driving technology, and in particular to a vehicle forward collision warning method, device, equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] FCW (Forward Collision Warning) is a car safety assistance system whose main purpose is to reduce the risk of accidents by warning the driver in advance of possible forward collision hazards.

[0003] The FCW system continuously senses the road conditions ahead through sensors installed on the front of the vehicle, such as radar and cameras. These sensors obtain the position, speed and other information of the vehicle ahead in real time and transmit it to the FCW system. After receiving the information of the vehicle ahead, the system makes judgments and decisions through algorithms. That is, it analyzes factors such as the movement trajectory of the vehicle ahead and the relative speed with the vehicle ahead to assess whether there is a potential risk of collision. Once the FCW system determines that there is a risk of collision, the system will issue a timely warning to the driver, usually through sound, light signals, vibration seats, etc.

[0004] However, due to the instability of information brought by visual perception, for example, when driving on a curve or uphill or downhill, the perceived distance and the actual distance will deviate. Generally speaking, the perceived distance will be longer when driving uphill and shorter when driving downhill. This will affect the collision time calculated by FCW, thus causing FCW to be triggered incorrectly.

[0005] In addition, the collision time threshold for triggering the forward collision warning function in the prior art is too fixed and single, and cannot be learned based on different drivers to provide warnings that are more in line with the driver's own driving habits, which to some extent affects the user's driving experience. Summary of the invention

[0030] The calculation module also calculates the collision time corresponding to each frame of the road environment feature image based on the position and speed of the suspected target, and marks the suspected target and the corresponding collision time when the calculated collision time under a certain number of consecutive frames of the road environment feature image is less than a set threshold;

[0043] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle forward collision warning method.

[0046] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of the vehicle forward collision warning method of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle forward collision warning method includes:

[0047] S1, obtaining multiple frames of road environment feature images in front of the vehicle, and determining the position and speed information corresponding to the obstacle;

[0048] In this embodiment, the position and speed information corresponding to the obstacle are determined mainly by collecting the characteristic image of the road environment in front of the vehicle through the camera.

[0049] Preferably, the position and speed information corresponding to the obstacle can be determined based on the camera acquiring multiple frames of road environment feature images in front of the vehicle, and combining the road terrain information and target coordinate information acquired by the global positioning system GPS.

[0050] It is understood that in order to obtain more accurate image information of the road, a camera or other image capture device can be used, and then combined with GPS data to provide richer location awareness information, such as for self-driving cars. The location information can be provided by GPS, while the camera provides real-time visual images.

[0051] In addition, in order to exclude some data that does not need to be considered, the lane line and curb contour information in the road environment feature image is also extracted in this embodiment; based on the constraints of the lane line and curb contour, irrelevant obstacles are excluded.

[0052] Specifically, for obstacles outside the curb contour, it is usually not considered that the vehicle (the vehicle) will collide with it. For lane lines, it is usually not considered that obstacles will change lanes at long solid lines. Therefore, based on the constraints of lane lines and curb contours, some data can be well excluded to remove noise for subsequent analysis and calculation.

[0053] In addition, for classification during statistics, color coding labels are added to each frame of the road environment feature image to distinguish different types of obstacles. For example, the color coding labels include green, yellow and red to distinguish vehicles, pedestrians, traffic signs, etc.

[0054] S2. Determine suspected targets with potential threats based on the set safety distance;

[0055] Specifically, in step S2:

[0056] According to the formula: d = k*(t*v+b), determine the safety distance d;

[0057] Among them, k is the safety factor set according to road conditions and weather conditions, t is the average reaction time of the driver, v is the relative speed between the vehicle and the obstacle, and b is the braking distance of the vehicle at the current speed.

[0058] When the distance between an obstacle and the vehicle is less than the safe distance, it is considered a suspected target with potential threat.

[0059] S3, based on the position and speed of the suspected target, calculate the collision time corresponding to each frame of the road environment feature image, and when the calculated collision time under a certain number of consecutive frames of the road environment feature image is less than a set threshold, mark the suspected target and the corresponding collision time;

[0060] For details, see Figure 2 As shown, based on the position and speed of the suspected target, the collision time corresponding to each frame of the road environment feature image is calculated, including:

[0061] S31, determining a forward collision distance between the center of mass of the vehicle and the suspected target according to the position of the suspected target;

[0062] S32, determining the relative speed between the vehicle and the suspected target according to the speed of the suspected target;

[0063] S33: Calculate the collision time corresponding to each frame of the road environment feature image according to the forward collision distance and the relative speed.

[0064] It is worth noting that the threshold here refers to the triggering threshold of the FCW function, which is often related to the vehicle speed and the relative speed between the vehicle and the target ahead.

[0065] Based on the above steps, the collision time corresponding to each frame of the road environment feature image can be calculated. In order to avoid false triggering caused by perception errors in the prior art, this embodiment will comprehensively consider the results of multi-frame calculations. Only when the collision time calculated under a certain number of consecutive frames of road environment feature images is less than the set threshold, it is considered to be a suspected target.

[0066] Specifically, it can be set that within 100 consecutive frames, the calculated collision time is less than the set threshold value before it is determined as a suspected target. It can be understood that in step S1, multiple frames (greater than 100 frames) of road environment feature images in front of the vehicle will be obtained, and then calculated frame by frame. Generally speaking, the collision time of the first calculated frame may be less than the threshold, but the collision time calculated in the subsequent frames is greater than the threshold. If a forward collision warning is made based on the previous frame less than the threshold, it will cause false triggering. Therefore, in this application, it is required that the collision time of 100 consecutive frames is less than the threshold before the conclusion is considered and a forward collision warning is made.

[0067] In addition, for repeated situations that occur in multi-frame calculations, such as the previous frame is greater than the threshold and the next frame is less than the threshold, you can ignore it and continue iterating.

[0068] S4. Select the suspected target whose collision time is closest to the current time as the final target, and use the collision time corresponding to the final target as the latest warning time for forward collision warning.

[0069] Let's take a specific example to illustrate. In step S2, it can be considered that according to the set safety distance, there are 10 suspected targets with potential threats. Then, based on the processing of step S3, it is found that only 5 of them meet the collision time calculated for 100 consecutive frames that is less than the threshold. Then, these 5 suspected targets are marked. Then, combined with the current time, from these 5 marked suspected targets, a suspected target with a collision time closest to the current time is selected as the final target. Finally, a forward collision warning is performed based on the collision time corresponding to the final target as the latest warning time.

[0070] It can be understood that based on the above processing, obstacles can be well screened and the most appropriate target can be accurately selected for forward collision warning.

[0071] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the step S5 of adjusting the threshold to adapt to the driver's driving style is also included. Generally speaking, the triggering threshold of the FCW function is fixed. In order to improve the driver's experience, this embodiment will adaptively learn and dynamically adjust the threshold value. Specifically, see Figure 3 As shown, step S5 includes:

[0072] S51, recording the latest warning time of the most recent forward collision warning;

[0073] S52: Adjust the threshold so that a forward collision warning is issued only when the next calculated collision time is less than or equal to the latest warning time.

[0074] In summary, the vehicle forward collision warning method in the present application obtains multiple frames of road environment feature images in front of the vehicle to determine the position and speed information corresponding to the obstacle; determines the suspected target with potential threat according to the set safety distance; calculates the collision time corresponding to each frame of the road environment feature image based on the position and speed of the suspected target, and when the calculated collision time under a certain number of consecutive frames of road environment feature images is less than the set threshold, marks the suspected target and the corresponding collision time; selects the suspected target whose collision time is closest to the current time as the final target, and uses the collision time corresponding to the final target as the latest warning time for forward collision warning.

[0075] That is to say, the present application calculates the collision time under multiple frames of road environment characteristic images, and only issues a forward collision warning when the collision time calculated under a certain number of consecutive frames of road environment characteristic images is less than a set threshold. That is, the present application is a comprehensive consideration made after comprehensive calculation of multiple frames of images, so as to avoid false triggering caused by perception errors in the prior art.

[0076] In addition, the present application also adjusts the threshold of the collision warning according to the latest warning time of the most recent forward collision warning, so as to better adapt to the driving styles of different drivers and improve the driving experience.

[0092] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the calculation module is used to:

[0094] Among them, k is the safety factor set according to road conditions and weather conditions, t is the average reaction time of the driver, v is the relative speed between the vehicle and the obstacle, and b is the braking distance of the vehicle at the current speed.
