Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of autonomous perception of mobile search and rescue robots. More specifically, it relates to a time calibration method for millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera based on Gaussian mixture model. Background Art
[0002] At the scene of accident disasters, there are often factors such as toxic gases, dust, thick smoke, and lack of oxygen, which pose severe challenges to personnel search and rescue, fire fighting, and emergency rescue work. Manual rescue faces problems such as insufficient information acquisition and easy personal injury. With the development of artificial intelligence technology and robot technology, it has become a top priority to use mobile robots to replace or assist rescue personnel to enter the rescue environment first. However, due to the severity and uncertainty of the search and rescue environment, the autonomous perception system of mobile robots faces severe challenges. For such working scenarios, the integrated perception of millimeter-wave radar and camera has many advantages. The millimeter-wave radar has the advantages of small size, stable detection performance, and being unaffected by factors such as smoke and dust. Combining the advantages of high resolution and rich scene information of visual sensors, the integrated perception of millimeter-wave radar and camera has become the top priority of the mobile robot search and rescue system.
[0003] Joint calibration of millimeter-wave radar and camera is the basis for both to achieve the integrated perception task, and the calibration accuracy of both directly determines the accuracy of the integrated perception. However, due to the installation differences in the spatial positions of the millimeter-wave radar and camera and the time delay problem of multi-source data reception, it is necessary to perform joint spatial calibration and time calibration on both to achieve a consistent interpretation of the perception task. Furthermore, since millimeter-wave radar data is usually relatively discrete and easily affected by factors such as noise and irrelevant background, higher requirements are put forward for the joint calibration method of millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera. The research on the spatial calibration technology of millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera has been relatively mature, and the present invention focuses on solving the time calibration problem between the two.

[0047] To more clearly illustrate the present invention, the following combines embodiments and appendices Figures 1-3A further description of the present invention is provided. Similar components in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals. Those skilled in the art should understand that the content specifically described below is illustrative rather than restrictive, and should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0048] The present invention uses a moving target for time calibration of a millimeter-wave radar and a monocular camera, which only requires that the state of the target is moving and continuous, and is independent of the type, number, and arrangement position of the target. Therefore, the present invention can realize automatic time calibration of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera.
[0049] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a time calibration method for a millimeter-wave radar and a monocular camera based on a mixture of Gaussians, and its implementation steps are as follows:
[0050] Pre-set the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera;
[0051] Sample the data of the millimeter-wave radar and the data of the monocular camera;
[0052] Use the known external parameter conversion relationship between the monocular camera and the millimeter-wave radar to convert the sampled monocular camera data and millimeter-wave radar data into the monocular camera image coordinate system, and obtain the target pixel points projected by the millimeter-wave radar in the monocular camera image;
[0053] Track the target pixel points, and use the MOG mixture of Gaussians model to remove the background image where the millimeter-wave radar does not hit the target image;
[0054] Use the Mahalanobis distance to screen the target points projected by the millimeter-wave radar onto the target image, and obtain the pixel position state representations of the two sensors respectively.
[0055] Estimate the time delay between the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera;
[0056] Use the LM (Levenberg-Marquarelt) algorithm to optimize the time delay estimation value to achieve time calibration of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera.
[0057] In a possible implementation manner, in step S1, the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera are pre-set. First, it is necessary to ensure that the monocular camera and the millimeter-wave radar have sufficient co-visibility. The target can move continuously to multiple positions while ensuring sufficient overlapping fields of view of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera.
[0058] Set a moving target within the overlapping field of view of the two. In the same way of the present invention, multiple moving targets recognizable by the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera in the natural scene can also be used for time calibration, and the automatic time calibration of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera can be achieved through this setting.
[0059] In a possible implementation manner, the data sampling device of the time calibration method for the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera based on the Gaussian mixture is as Figure 2 shown, including the robot 1, the millimeter-wave radar 2, the monocular camera 3, the corner reflector target 4, the field of view angle range 5 of the monocular camera, the field of view angle range 6 of the millimeter-wave radar, and the range 7 where the target can move.
[0060] In a possible implementation manner, the time calibration target device adopted in the embodiment of the present invention is a radar corner reflector. Since the millimeter-wave radar data is relatively discrete and is easily affected by factors such as noise to generate irrelevant measurement points, in order to more effectively verify the embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a low-cost time calibration target for the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera, using the radar corner reflector as the calibration target. The lengths of the three outer sides a of the radar corner reflector are equal, the lengths of the three inner sides c are equal, and the three inner sides must be perpendicular to each other in pairs; b is the mounting base for fixing the radar corner reflector on the triangular bracket.
[0061] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the length of side a of the radar corner reflector is 424.2 mm, the length of side c is 300 mm, and the corner reflector is fixed on the triangular bracket. The lengths of side a and side c are not limited, as long as the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera can accurately and effectively detect the corner reflector.
[0062] In a possible implementation manner, in step S2, the monocular camera data and the millimeter-wave data are sampled at the same timestamp starting point. At the same time, the present invention does not require the monocular camera and the millimeter-wave radar to have the same sampling frequency. In each sampling period of the monocular camera data and the millimeter-wave data, m millimeter-wave radar coordinate points and n monocular camera pixel coordinate points are obtained. Preferably, in this embodiment, the millimeter-wave radar publishing frequency is 10 Hz, the monocular camera publishing frequency is 30 Hz, and a low data sampling frequency is selected as the starting point. Therefore, the sampling period is 0.1 s, and at least 50 frames of millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera data are collected.
[0063] In a possible implementation, in step S3, the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera data are spatially synchronized; the m millimeter-wave radar coordinate points sampled in step S2 are used to convert both the monocular camera and the millimeter-wave radar data to the monocular camera image coordinate system by using the known external parameter conversion relationship between the monocular camera and the millimeter-wave radar, and the target pixel points projected by the millimeter-wave radar in the monocular camera image are obtained. The specific calculation method is as follows: The conversion relationship between the monocular camera pixel coordinates and the millimeter-wave radar coordinates is
[0064]
[0065] where u and v are the coordinate values of the millimeter-wave radar target point converted to the monocular camera image coordinate system; λ is the scale coefficient; is the internal parameter of the monocular camera, and the internal parameter of the monocular camera is a known parameter; is the external parameter between the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera, and the external parameter between the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera is a known parameter; X W 、Y W and Z W are the coordinate values of the millimeter-wave radar target point in the world coordinate system.
[0066] In a possible implementation, in step S4, the background image where the millimeter-wave radar does not hit the target image of the target is removed, and the steps are as follows:
[0067] Let x(t) represent the pixel value of the point projected by the millimeter-wave radar onto the monocular camera image at time t, TG represent the foreground image, and NG represent the background image, then:
[0068] If the probability of correctly hitting the target is:
[0069]
[0070] Then it means that the millimeter-wave point hits the image of the target, and the millimeter-wave projection point x’(t) is selected as the alternative point for the time calibration of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera this time. Thus, the background removal outside the target of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera is completed, and the preliminary screening of the data points required by the present invention is realized.
[0071] In a possible implementation, the further screening calculation method for the target points projected by the millimeter-wave radar onto the target image in step S5 is:
[0072]
[0073] where: represents the Mahalanobis distance between the target point projected by the millimeter-wave radar onto the target image and the target image in the monocular camera; and respectively represent the mean and variance of the i MOG Gaussian mixture models on the target image in the monocular image. In the present invention, i = 3 is taken.
[0074] If it means that the millimeter-wave radar point hits the monocular camera image plane correctly. Thus, the further screening of the target points of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera is completed.
[0075] In a possible implementation manner, the step of estimating the time delay between the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera in step S6 includes:
[0076] Step S61: Select the sensor with a slower frame rate of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera as the anchor point. In each step of iterative optimization, use the time delay t d of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera
[0077] as the current estimate; τ Let t k+1 ≤t τ <t k+1 , x(t τ ) follows a Gaussian distribution, and the pixel position state of the anchor sensor is The formula for interpolating the pixel position state of the second sensor is:
[0078]
[0079] f(t τ ) = ∧(t τ , t k ) - g(t τ )∧(t k+1 , t k );
[0080]
[0081] where ∧(t k , s) is the state transition matrix; ∧(t τ , t k ) is the state transition matrix from time t τ to time t k ;
[0082] ∧(t k+1 , t k ) is the state transition matrix from time t k+1 to time t k ; is the system matrix; Q C is the covariance matrix of the pixel position state; Q k,τis the covariance matrix of the state from the k-th pixel position to the current τ pixel position; is the inverse of the covariance matrix of the state from the k-th pixel position to the (k + 1)-th pixel position; ∧(t k+1 ,t τ ) T is the transpose of the state transition matrix from time t k+1 to time t τ ; f(t τ ) and g(t τ ) are intermediate functions for interpolation respectively; and follow a Gaussian process with respect to continuous time t, k is the k-th pixel position, τ is the current pixel position, and s is the integration independent variable; Δt = t k - t τ ;
[0083] Step S63: Estimate the time delay through a minimization criterion, and the calculation method is as follows
[0084]
[0085] where, is the total measurement time of the aiming sensor; represents obtaining the minimum time delay estimate value The required minimum time delay value.
[0086] Step S7, time calibration optimization of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera; Use the LM (Levenberg-Marquardt) algorithm to minimize and optimize the time delay estimation values of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera, thereby realizing the time calibration of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera.
[0087] When calibrating the time of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera, the present invention can eliminate the influence of irrelevant backgrounds and discrete interference points of the millimeter-wave radar, improve the time calibration accuracy, and this method is also applicable to the spatial synchronization calibration of the millimeter-wave radar and the monocular camera. The present invention uses the MOG method for continuous state estimation, does not require relying on accurate initial values, and users can query the data state of the sensor at any time of interest. The present invention uses the Mahalanobis distance to evaluate the relationship between the projection points of the millimeter-wave radar on the target image and the pixel distribution on the target image, and solves the influence of different measurement scales of the two sensors on time calibration.
