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 uses sensors mounted on the front of the vehicle, such as radar and cameras, to continuously monitor road conditions ahead. These sensors acquire real-time information such as the position and speed of the vehicle ahead and transmit it to the FCW system. After receiving this information, the system uses algorithms to make decisions. This involves analyzing factors such as the vehicle ahead's trajectory and its relative speed to assess the potential for a collision. If the FCW system determines a collision is imminent, it will issue a timely warning to the driver, typically through audible, visual, or seat vibrations.

[0004] However, due to the instability of visual perception, such as when traveling on curves or uphill or downhill, the perceived distance and actual distance may deviate. Generally speaking, the perceived distance is longer when traveling uphill and shorter when traveling downhill. This can affect the collision time calculated by FCW, leading to false triggering of FCW.

[0005] In addition, the collision time threshold for triggering the forward collision warning function in the existing technology 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.

[0043] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 this application.

[0044] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this 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 this application. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle forward collision warning method includes:

[0047] S1. Acquire multiple frames of road environment feature images in front of the vehicle and determine the position and speed information corresponding to the obstacle;

[0048] In this embodiment, the camera is mainly used to capture characteristic images of the road environment in front of the vehicle to determine the position and speed information corresponding to the obstacle.

[0049] Preferably, the position and speed information corresponding to the obstacle can be determined by obtaining multiple frames of road environment feature images in front of the vehicle based on the camera and combining the road terrain information and target coordinate information obtained 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. GPS can provide location information, while the camera provides real-time visual images.

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

[0052] Specifically, obstacles outside the curb are generally not considered to be a collision risk for the vehicle (the ego vehicle). For lane markings, obstacles are generally not considered to change lanes at long solid lines. Therefore, based on the constraints of lane markings and curbs, some data can be effectively excluded, removing noise for subsequent analysis and calculations.

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

[0054] S2. Identify suspected targets that pose 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] Where k is the safety factor set according to road and weather conditions, t is the average driver's reaction time, 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. Calculate the collision time corresponding to each frame of the road environment feature image based on the position and velocity of the suspected target. When the calculated collision time for 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. Determine a forward collision distance between the vehicle and the center of mass of the suspected target based on the position of the suspected target;

[0062] S32. Determine the relative speed between the vehicle and the suspected target based on 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 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 in front.

[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 due to perception errors in the existing technology, 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 the collision time calculated within 100 consecutive frames is less than the set threshold value before it is determined to be 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 value, but the collision time calculated in the subsequent frames may be greater than the threshold value. If a forward collision warning is made based on the conclusion that the previous frame is less than the threshold value, it will cause a false trigger. Therefore, in this application, it is limited to the collision time of 100 consecutive frames that are less than the threshold value before a conclusion is made 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 them 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 to perform a forward collision warning.

[0069] To illustrate this with a specific example, in step S2, we can assume that based on the set safety distance, there are 10 suspected targets that pose a potential threat. Then, based on step S3, we find that only 5 of them meet the collision time threshold calculated for 100 consecutive frames. These 5 suspected targets are marked. Then, based on the current time, from these 5 marked suspected targets, the suspected target with the collision time closest to the current time is selected as the final target. Finally, the forward collision warning is issued 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 screened well and the most appropriate target can be accurately selected for forward collision warning.

[0071] It is worth noting that some embodiments further include a step S5 of adjusting the threshold to suit the driver's driving style. 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. Record 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] To summarize, 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 based on 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 collision time calculated 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] In other words, this application calculates the collision time based on multiple frames of road environment feature images and only issues a forward collision warning when the calculated collision time based on a certain number of consecutive frames of road environment feature images is less than a set threshold. This application comprehensively considers the calculations of multiple frames of images, thus effectively avoiding false triggering caused by perception errors in the existing technology.

[0076] In addition, this application also adjusts the collision warning threshold based on 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.

[0094] Where k is the safety factor set according to road and weather conditions, t is the average driver's reaction time, v is the relative speed between the vehicle and the obstacle, and b is the braking distance of the vehicle at the current speed.
