Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of environmental perception technology, and particularly to an environmental perception method, device, vehicle, storage medium, and program product. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, with the gradual implementation of the systematic construction of urban digitalization and intelligentization, various transportation systems and vehicle forms have developed rapidly, and the intelligent levels of many traffic participants have also been continuously improved. The driving levels of many vehicles in scenarios such as automatic start-stop and automatic parking have become increasingly enhanced, and functions such as automatic location search and automatic parking have become new trends in scenario applications.

[0003] In related technologies, the perception system of autonomous vehicles mainly performs environmental perception based on in-vehicle sensor systems. Since the environmental perception and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) are realized from the first perspective, the accuracy is relatively low, and the reliability of environmental perception is usually low due to the accuracy of vehicle sensors and the complex environment around the vehicle, thus affecting the safe operation of autonomous vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an environmental perception method, device, vehicle, storage medium, and program product, which can improve the safety of the target vehicle during the process of controlling the running state of the vehicle based on the target perception map.

[0005] The technical solution of this application is realized as follows:

[0006] An embodiment of this application provides a control method, including: obtaining first in-vehicle perception information collected by sensors of a target vehicle; controlling an auxiliary device to perform environmental perception on a target area to obtain first airborne perception information when there is a target area around the target vehicle; the target in-vehicle perception information corresponding to the target area does not meet the reliability condition, and the target in-vehicle perception information corresponding to the target area is determined based on the first in-vehicle perception information; determining a target perception map based on the first in-vehicle perception information and the first airborne perception information; and controlling the running state of the target vehicle based on the target perception map.

[0007] According to the above technical means, when it is determined that there is a target area around the target vehicle where the target in-vehicle perception information does not meet the reliability condition, the auxiliary device is controlled to perform environmental perception on the target area to obtain the first airborne perception information, and the target perception map is determined based on the first in-vehicle perception information and the first airborne perception information, which can improve the accuracy of the determined target perception map, and thus improve the safety of the target vehicle during the process of controlling the running state of the vehicle based on the target perception map.

[0008] In some embodiments, the control auxiliary device performs environmental perception on the target area to obtain the first airborne perception information, including: determining the first position information of the target area; sending the first position information to the auxiliary device so that the auxiliary device performs environmental perception based on the position information; and receiving the first airborne perception information fed back by the auxiliary device based on the first position information.

[0009] According to the above technical means, by sending the position information of the target area to the auxiliary device, it is convenient for the auxiliary device to determine the target area that needs to be environmentally perceived based on this position information, thereby improving the environmental perception efficiency of the auxiliary device.

[0010] In some embodiments, the auxiliary device includes a flying device; sending the position information of the target area to the auxiliary device so that the auxiliary device performs environmental perception based on the position information includes: sending the position information to the flying device so that the flying device flies above the target area based on the position information and performs environmental perception of the target area from an overhead perspective.

[0011] According to the above technical means, by sending the position information of the target area to the flying device, for scenarios where the obstacles in the target area are relatively close to the target vehicle or the target area corresponds to a narrow environment, etc., the flying device flying above the target area based on this position information can perform more accurate and comprehensive environmental perception of the target area, thereby improving the accuracy of the first airborne perception information.

[0012] In some embodiments, determining the target perception map based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information and the first airborne perception information includes: creating a first perception map based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information; creating a second perception map based on the first airborne perception information; and performing a fusion process on the first perception map and the second perception map based on the first weight corresponding to the first perception map and the second weight corresponding to the second perception map to obtain the target perception map.

[0013] According to the above technical means, performing a fusion process on the first perception map and the second perception map based on the first weight corresponding to the first perception map and the second weight corresponding to the second perception map can improve the accuracy of the target perception map.

[0014] In some embodiments, the environmental perception method further includes: obtaining the first configuration information of the sensors of the target vehicle; and determining the first weight and / or the second weight based on the first configuration information.

[0015] According to the above technical means, a first weight corresponding to a first perception map and / or a second weight corresponding to a second perception map are determined based on the configuration information of the sensors of the target vehicle, such that the weights used in the fusion process of the two perception maps are associated with the configuration information of the vehicle-mounted sensors, and the configuration information of the vehicle sensors can affect the accuracy of the created perception map. The first weight and the second weight can determine the contribution ratio of the perception map corresponding to each in the fusion process. Therefore, based on the configuration information of the sensors of the target vehicle, the rationality and accuracy of the determined first weight and second weight can be improved.

[0016] In some embodiments, the environmental perception method further includes: determining the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area; based on the reliability degree, determining the first weight and / or the second weight.

[0017] According to the above technical means, based on the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area, a first weight corresponding to the first perception map and / or a second weight corresponding to the second perception map are determined, such that the weights used in the fusion process of the two perception maps are associated with the reliability degree of the vehicle-mounted perception information, thereby the rationality and accuracy of the determined first weight and second weight can be improved.

[0018] In some embodiments, the environmental perception method further includes: based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information, determining the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to at least one target candidate area around the target vehicle; in the case where the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target candidate area does not meet the reliability condition, determining the target candidate area as the target area.

[0019] According to the above technical means, by determining, from at least one target candidate area around the target vehicle, the target candidate area where the target vehicle-mounted perception information does not meet the reliability condition as the target area, the accuracy of the identified target area can be improved.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first vehicle-mounted perception information includes first images corresponding to at least one first candidate area around the target vehicle, and the target vehicle-mounted perception information includes target images; based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information, determining the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to at least one target candidate area around the target vehicle includes: based on the first images corresponding to at least one first candidate area, determining the target images corresponding to at least one target candidate area.

[0021] According to the above technical means, by means of the first images corresponding to at least one first candidate area, determining the second images corresponding to at least one target candidate area, such that subsequently, based on the second images corresponding to at least one target candidate area, the target area can be more accurately determined from each target candidate area.

[0022] In some embodiments, at least one target candidate region includes at least one second candidate region and / or at least one third candidate region. The second candidate region includes the region where at least two first candidate regions overlap, and the third candidate region includes the region in the first candidate regions that does not overlap with other first candidate regions.

[0023] According to the above technical means, since the second candidate region is usually located at the edge of the corresponding first candidate region, there may be a difference in the image perception ability of the vehicle's sensors for this part and the image perception ability of the third candidate region. By using the second candidate region and / or the third candidate region as the target candidate region, the area around the target vehicle can be divided with finer granularity, so that the target area around the target vehicle can be identified more accurately.

[0024] In some embodiments, the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target candidate region includes the target distance between the target vehicle and at least one obstacle in the target candidate region. The environmental perception method further includes: when the target distance corresponding to the target candidate region is less than the distance threshold, determining that the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target candidate region does not meet the reliability condition.

[0025] According to the above technical means, if the target distance corresponding to the target candidate region is less than the distance threshold, it indicates that the vehicle-mounted perception information collected by the vehicle-mounted sensor may be unreliable, or more perception information of the target candidate region needs to be obtained in the current scenario to improve the reliability of the perception information. Therefore, in this case, determining that the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target candidate region does not meet the reliability condition can improve the accuracy of judging the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information.

[0026] In some embodiments, controlling the running state of the target vehicle based on the target perception map includes: determining the position information of the target parking space available for the target vehicle to park in the current scenario of the target vehicle; and controlling the target vehicle to park in the target parking space based on the target perception map and the position information of the target parking space.

[0027] According to the above technical means, since the target perception map integrates vehicle-mounted perception information and airborne perception information and has high accuracy, when the position information of the target parking space in the current scenario of the target vehicle is determined, controlling the target vehicle to park based on the target perception map and the position information of the target parking space can improve the accuracy and efficiency of the target vehicle parking in the target parking space.

[0028] In some embodiments, determining the position information of a target parking space available for a target vehicle in the current scenario where the target vehicle is located includes: sending a control instruction to an auxiliary device to control the auxiliary device to perform environmental perception on the current scenario where the target vehicle is located; obtaining second on-board perception information fed back by the auxiliary device based on the control instruction; and determining the position information of the target parking space based on the second on-board perception information and second in-vehicle perception information obtained by the sensors of the target vehicle for environmental perception around the target vehicle.

[0029] According to the above technical means, by sending a control instruction to the auxiliary device, the second on-board perception information obtained after the auxiliary device performs environmental perception on the current scenario where the target vehicle is located can be obtained. Further, based on the combination of the second on-board perception information and the second in-vehicle perception information obtained by the sensors of the target vehicle for environmental perception around the target vehicle, the position information of the target parking space is determined, which can improve the accuracy of the determined position of the target parking space.

[0030] In some embodiments, the environmental perception method further includes: determining a moving path of the target vehicle based on the second on-board perception information; controlling the target vehicle to move following the auxiliary device based on the moving path, and controlling the sensors of the target vehicle to perform environmental perception around the target vehicle during the process of the target vehicle moving following the auxiliary device to obtain second in-vehicle perception information.

[0031] According to the above technical means, the moving path of the target vehicle is determined according to the second on-board perception information sensed by the auxiliary device, and the target vehicle is controlled to move following the auxiliary device based on the moving path. And during the process of controlling the sensors of the target vehicle to perform environmental perception around the target vehicle when the target vehicle moves following the auxiliary device, second in-vehicle perception information is obtained, so that the target parking space can be determined based on the fusion result of the second in-vehicle perception information and the second on-board perception information subsequently, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined target parking space.

Thus, during the process of controlling the vehicle operation state based on the target perception map, the safety of the target vehicle operation can be improved.

[0059] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0061] In the following description, reference is made to "some embodiments / other embodiments", which describe subsets of all possible embodiments. However, it is understood that "some embodiments / other embodiments" can be the same or different subsets of all possible embodiments and can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0062] In the following description, the terms "first / second" are only used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific order for the objects. It is understood that "first / second" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence when permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0063] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0064] Today, with the gradual implementation of the systematic construction of urban digitalization and intelligence, various transportation systems and vehicle forms have developed rapidly, and the intelligence levels of many transportation participants have also been continuously improved. The automation levels of many vehicles in scenarios such as automatic start-stop, parking in and out have been increasingly enhanced, and functions such as automatic position search and automatic parking have become new trends in scenario applications.

[0065] Today, in the context of automotive intelligence and networking, automatic parking technology, as one of the core technologies of autonomous driving, has received extensive attention from many OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) manufacturers and researchers in the field of intelligent driving. Its purpose is to assist or replace the driver's operations during the parking process to reduce the difficulties and pressures faced by the driver in complex parking environments such as narrow parking spaces and dim lighting. On the one hand, with the improvement of sensor performance levels, the industry has put forward higher requirements for the parking efficiency and effect of parking systems. On the other hand, automatic parking technology has gradually developed from traditional semi-automatic parking (Semi-Automatic Parking Assist, S-APA), full-automatic parking (Full-Automatic Parking Assist, F-APA), remote control parking (Remote Parking Assist, RPA) to memory parking (Home-Zone Parking Assist, HPA) and even automated valet parking (Automated Valet Parking, AVP).

[0066] The AVP (Automated Valet Parking) system, as an application of autonomous driving in the parking scenario, realizes the fully automated valet parking function. Its ultimate goal is to replace traditional manual valet parking. It represents the ceiling of the current parking scenario functions, involving complex sub-scenarios and high technical difficulties.

[0067] SLAM is based on Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. It refers to a subject equipped with specific sensors that, without prior environmental information, builds a model of the surrounding environment and synchronously estimates its own motion state during movement. It is usually used in the fields of autonomous driving vehicles or autonomous mobile robots, mainly solving the problems of positioning and perception mapping. In the field of sensor-based SLAM, there are mainly LiDAR-based SLAM and Vision-based SLAM.

[0068] Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) collaborative technology generally refers to the technology that uses modern network communication technology to achieve information exchange and sharing between vehicles (V2V), vehicle and roadside infrastructure (V2I), vehicle and pedestrian (Vehicle to Pedestrian, V2P), vehicle and network (V2N), and vehicle and cloud (V2C).

[0069] With the continuous progress of drone technology and the continuous expansion of travel application scenarios, in-vehicle drone technology has gradually been installed in some high-end vehicle products and will also present a broader application prospect in the future. In-vehicle drone technology combines the flexibility of drones and the long-distance mobility of the host vehicle, with broad application prospects and huge market potential. In addition, in addition to the application of drone technology in traditional passenger cars, in the future, it will be involved in many transportation fields such as flying cars, intelligent logistics vehicles, and autonomous mobile robots to achieve assisted driving with the accompanying drone system.

[0070] In-vehicle drones belong to an emerging application field with relatively few patents involved. Currently, there are mechanical platforms and structures for in-vehicle drones, while drone collaboration mainly focuses on target recognition and path planning for drone swarms. A method for collaborative path planning of a vehicle and an in-vehicle drone is mainly used for flight path planning for round trips to a supply point, focusing on research on the optimal path planning algorithm, which is different from the research direction of this application; a system and method for in-vehicle drone-assisted autonomous driving mainly solve the problem of enhancing high-altitude perspective information when there are obstacles or complex road conditions in front during the process of obtaining environmental information from the low-altitude perspective of the vehicle. It is mainly used to assist in obtaining road condition information during the autonomous driving process of autonomous vehicles, only briefly elaborating on the collaborative operation process without designing a specific collaborative architecture; an image processing method for in-vehicle drones of an autonomous driving vehicle designs image processing and fusion algorithms for recognizing pedestrians and roadblocks in multiple directions during the driving process of the autonomous driving vehicle, focusing on theoretical modeling, which is significantly different from the architecture design and application scenario design of this application.

[0071] Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the fusion and mapping of the environment perception for automatic parking provided by an embodiment of this application. During the process of generating a panoramic view based on the surround view, the panoramic top view is mainly composed of four top views obtained by four fisheye cameras on the vehicle body based on the collected images and after distortion correction and top view transformation, and the stitching seams are eliminated through image fusion algorithm processing. As Figure 1 shown, the surround view mainly forms the front view area 102, the rear view area 103, the left view area 104, the right view area 105 (4 front view areas) of the vehicle 101, and the left front common area 106, the right front common area 107, the left rear common area 108, the right rear common area 109 (4 common stitching areas). As mentioned above, the 4 common stitching areas usually need to be fused, such as using a weighted average fusion algorithm based on distance, etc. However, due to problems such as complex environments and relatively low accuracy of the collected image sources, the fusion accuracy of the common stitching areas is usually relatively poor, and it is impossible to construct a high-precision perception and positioning SLAM map in complex and narrow environments, ultimately resulting in the failure of automatic vehicle parking.

[0072] In summary, on the one hand, the traditional automatic parking perception system mainly relies on the environment perception of the in-vehicle sensor system. Since it realizes environment perception and SLAM mapping from the first perspective, the accuracy is relatively low, and parking usually fails due to relatively low perception reliability in some complex parking space environments; on the other hand, traditional automatic parking requires the vehicle to independently find a parking space and plan a path based on SLAM perception. Due to the relatively low vehicle speed and poor flexibility, it is impossible to efficiently find a parking space and plan a path.

[0073] Based on the problems existing in the related art, an embodiment of the present application provides an environment perception method, which can be applied to autonomous vehicles, semi-autonomous vehicles, non-autonomous vehicles, or other remote devices, etc. As Figure 2 shown, it is a schematic flowchart of an environment perception method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method includes the following steps S201 to step S203:

[0074] Step S201, obtain first vehicle-mounted perception information collected by sensors of the target vehicle.

[0075] Here, the target vehicle can be an autonomous vehicle, a semi-autonomous vehicle, a non-autonomous vehicle, etc. The sensors of the target vehicle can include vehicle-mounted cameras, vehicle-mounted radars, etc. The first vehicle-mounted perception information can include the position information of obstacles around the vehicle collected by the vehicle-mounted radar, and images collected by the vehicle-mounted camera, etc.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first vehicle-mounted perception information can be collected in real time by sensors of the target vehicle, and can obtain the first vehicle-mounted perception information when receiving a vehicle-mounted perception information acquisition instruction sent by the control device or remote device of the target vehicle.

[0077] Step S202, when there is a target area around the target vehicle, control the auxiliary device to perform environment perception on the target area to obtain first airborne perception information.

[0078] Here, the target area can include at least one of the left area, right area, front area, rear area, left front area, left rear area, right front area, and right rear area of the target vehicle, etc. The target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area does not meet the reliability condition, and the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area can be determined based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information. For example, by performing fusion or splicing processing on the first vehicle-mounted perception information to obtain the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area. The auxiliary device can include, but is not limited to, flying information collection devices such as flying devices or flying apparatuses (such as drones), and the auxiliary device can also include, but is not limited to, information collection devices such as robots and other vehicles different from the target vehicle.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first vehicle-mounted perception information may include images of different areas around the target vehicle collected by vehicle-mounted sensors, or may include the position information of obstacles in different areas around the target vehicle collected by vehicle-mounted radars. The clarity of the images of different areas collected can be identified, and whether there is a target area around the target vehicle can be determined based on the clarity of the images; alternatively, the position information of obstacles in different areas around the target vehicle can be analyzed, and whether there is a target area around the target vehicle can be determined based on the distance between the target vehicle and the obstacles around it. The description of the first vehicle-mounted perception information here and determining whether there is a target area around the target vehicle based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information is only exemplary, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0080] In some embodiments, when it is determined that there is a target area around the target vehicle, a control instruction can be sent to the auxiliary device through the vehicle-mounted control system for the auxiliary device, so as to start the auxiliary device and control the auxiliary device to move to the position corresponding to the target area for environmental perception.

[0081] In some embodiments, the auxiliary device is equipped with sensors such as an on-board camera and an on-board radar. The first on-board perception information includes the image information collected by the on-board camera and the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle collected by the on-board radar. The auxiliary device can move to the side, above (directly above or obliquely above), etc. of the target area to perform environmental perception on the target area, and obtain the image information within the target area and the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle.

[0082] Step S203: Determine a target perception map based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information and the first on-board perception information.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first vehicle-mounted perception information may include the image information around the target vehicle and the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle. The first on-board perception information may include the image information within the target area around the target vehicle and the position information of obstacles within the target area around the target vehicle. The position information of obstacles within the target area around the target vehicle can be converted into position information in a vehicle body coordinate system established with the center of the target vehicle as the origin, and based on the converted position information of obstacles within the target area around the target vehicle and the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle in the first vehicle-mounted perception information, the target position information of obstacles around the target vehicle can be determined; based on the image information around the target vehicle in the first vehicle-mounted perception information and the image information within the target area around the target vehicle, the target image information around the target vehicle can be determined; based on the target position information of obstacles around the target vehicle and the target image information around the target vehicle, a target perception map can be created.

[0084] In some other embodiments, a first perception map may be created based on the image information around the target vehicle in the first vehicle-mounted perception information and the position information of the obstacles around the target vehicle, and a second perception map may be created based on the image information within the target area around the target vehicle in the first airborne perception information and the position information of the obstacles within the target area around the target vehicle. The first perception map and the second perception map are fused to determine the target perception map.

[0085] In some embodiments, the operating state of the target vehicle may be controlled based on the target map information. For example, during the autonomous driving of the target vehicle, the moving path of the target vehicle may be determined based on the target perception map, and the target vehicle may be controlled to move based on the moving path. Specifically, during the process of controlling the target to move from the current position to the target position, the moving path from the current position to the target position may be determined according to the target perception map, and the vehicle may be controlled to move from the current position to the target position based on the moving path.

[0086] In some embodiments, in the automatic parking scenario, the target vehicle may be controlled to park automatically based on the target perception map; for non-automatic or semi-automatic parking scenarios, the target perception map may be output to the vehicle-mounted display interface for display, so as to guide the driver to park the vehicle.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present application, the first vehicle-mounted perception information collected by the sensors of the target vehicle is obtained; in the case where it is determined that there is a target area around the target vehicle, the auxiliary device is controlled to perform environmental perception on the target area to obtain the first airborne perception information; the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area does not meet the reliability condition; the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area is determined based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information; the target perception map is determined based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information and the first airborne perception information. In this way, in the case where it is determined that there is a target area around the target vehicle where the target vehicle-mounted perception information does not meet the reliability condition, by controlling the auxiliary device to perform environmental perception on the target area to obtain the first airborne perception information, and determining the target perception map based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information and the first airborne perception information, the accuracy of the determined target perception map can be improved, thereby improving the safety of the operation of the target vehicle during the process of controlling the operation state of the vehicle based on the target perception map.

[0088] In some embodiments, the step of controlling the auxiliary device to perform environmental perception on the first area in step S202 to obtain the first airborne perception information may include the following steps S2021 to S2023:

[0089] Step S2021, determining the position information of the target area.

[0090] In some embodiments, the position information of the target area may be the position coordinates of the target area in the vehicle body coordinate system established with the center of the target vehicle as the origin. The position coordinates may include the position coordinates of the center of the target area and the position coordinates of multiple points on the edge of the target area. The size and position of the target area can be uniquely determined through the position coordinates.

[0091] In some embodiments, since the first vehicle-mounted perception information includes the image information around the target vehicle and the position information of the obstacles around the target vehicle, the position information of the target area can be determined by combining the image information corresponding to the target area and the position information of the obstacles in the target area. For example, the target obstacle in the target area can be determined first through the image information corresponding to the target area, and then the position information of the target area can be determined by combining the position information of the target obstacle.

[0092] Step S2022: Send the position information of the target area to the auxiliary device so that the auxiliary device performs environmental perception based on the position information.

[0093] In some embodiments, after the position information of the target area is determined, the position information of the target area can be sent to the auxiliary device. After receiving the position information, the auxiliary device can convert the position information into the first position information in the coordinate system established with its own center as the origin, and then move to the area corresponding to the first position information to realize the environmental perception of the target area.

[0094] In some embodiments, there may be one or more target areas. In the case where there is one target area, the auxiliary device can be controlled to move above the target area to perform environmental perception on the target area and obtain the first airborne perception information. In the case where there are multiple target areas, the target vehicle or the remote device can set the environmental perception order for each target area for the auxiliary device and send the environmental perception order to the auxiliary device, so that the auxiliary device performs environmental perception on each target area based on the environmental perception order. Alternatively, the auxiliary device itself can also determine the environmental perception order for each target area, and the auxiliary device performs environmental perception on each target area based on the environmental perception order set by itself.

[0095] Step S2023: Receive the first airborne perception information fed back by the auxiliary device based on the position information of the target area.

[0096] In some embodiments, after the auxiliary device performs environmental perception on the target area and obtains the first airborne perception information, the first airborne perception information can be actively sent to the target vehicle or the remote device.

[0097] In some other embodiments, the target vehicle or the remote device may also send a request for obtaining on-vehicle sensing information to the auxiliary device after a preset time period after sending the position information of the target area to the auxiliary device. Based on this request for obtaining on-vehicle sensing information, the auxiliary device feeds back the first on-vehicle sensing information collected to the target vehicle or the remote device.

[0098] In the above embodiments, by sending the position information of the target area to the auxiliary device, it is convenient for the auxiliary device to determine the target area that needs to perform environmental perception based on this position information, thereby improving the environmental perception efficiency of the auxiliary device.

[0099] In some embodiments, the auxiliary device includes a flying device. Sending the position information of the target area to the auxiliary device in step S2022 so that the auxiliary device performs environmental perception based on the position information may include the following step S20221:

[0100] Step S20221: Send the position information to the flying device so that the flying device flies to above the target area based on the position information and performs environmental perception on the target area from a top-down perspective.

[0101] In some embodiments, the flying device may fly directly above or obliquely above the target area based on the position information sent by the target vehicle to perform environmental perception on the target area; alternatively, the flying device may first fly to any position above the target area, and then adjust its own position or pose based on its height from the target area, the distribution of obstacles in the target area, etc., in order to better perform environmental perception on the target area.

[0102] In some other embodiments, the target vehicle may also send the position information of the target area and the acquisition parameters of the target area to the flying device, where the acquisition parameters may be the flying height, acquisition azimuth, acquisition perspective, etc. for the flying device to perform environmental perception on the target area, and the acquisition parameters may be determined by the target vehicle based on the target on-vehicle sensing information corresponding to the target area.

[0103] In the above embodiments, by sending the position information of the target area to the flying device, for scenarios where the distance between obstacles in the target area and the target vehicle is relatively close or the target area corresponds to a narrow environment, etc., the flying device can perform more accurate and comprehensive environmental perception on the target area by flying to above the target area based on this position information, thereby improving the accuracy of the first on-vehicle sensing information.

[0104] In some embodiments, determining the target perception map based on the first on-vehicle sensing information and the first on-vehicle sensing information in step S203 may include the following steps S2031 to step S2033:

[0105] Step S2031: Create a first perception map based on the first vehicle-mounted perception information.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first perception map can be created according to the image information around the target vehicle and the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle in the first vehicle-mounted perception information. For example, the SLAM technology can be used to associate the image information around the target vehicle and the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle, and establish the first perception map.

[0107] Step S2032: Create a second perception map based on the first airborne perception information.

[0108] In some embodiments, the second perception map can be created according to the image information corresponding to the first area in the first airborne perception information and the position information of obstacles in the first area in the first airborne perception information.

[0109] In some other embodiments, the position information of obstacles in the first area in the first airborne perception information can be converted into position coordinates in the same coordinate system corresponding to the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle in the first vehicle-mounted perception information, and then the second perception map can be created based on the converted position coordinates. For example, when the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle in the first vehicle-mounted perception information is the position coordinates in the vehicle body coordinate system established with the vehicle body center as the origin, the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle in the first vehicle-mounted perception information can be kept unchanged, and the position information of obstacles in the first area in the first airborne perception information can be converted into the position coordinates in this vehicle body coordinate system. Then, based on the converted position coordinates and the image information in the first area in the first airborne perception information, the second perception map is established.

[0110] Step S2033: Perform a fusion process on the first perception map and the second perception map based on the first weight corresponding to the first perception map and the second weight corresponding to the second perception map to obtain a target perception map.

[0111] Here, both the first weight and the second weight can be predetermined, and the first weight can be less than or equal to the second weight.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first perception map and the second perception map can include the image information around the target vehicle and the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle. The fusion of the first perception map and the second perception map can include the fusion of the position information of obstacles around the target vehicle in the first perception map and the corresponding position information in the second perception map, and the fusion of the image information around the target vehicle in the first perception map and the corresponding image information in the second perception map. Among them, the first weight can correct the position information and / or the pixels of the image in the first perception map, and the second weight can correct the second perception map and / or the pixels of the image.

[0113] In some embodiments, when the first perception map and the second perception map include position information in the same coordinate system, the first perception map and the second perception map can be directly fused based on the first weight and the second weight to obtain a target perception map.

[0114] In some embodiments, when the first perception map and the second perception map include position information in different coordinate systems, the position information in the two perception maps can be first converted into position information in the same coordinate system to obtain the converted perception maps, and then the two converted perception maps are fused to obtain a target perception map.

[0115] In the above embodiments, by performing a fusion process on the first perception map and the second perception map based on the first weight corresponding to the first perception map and the second weight corresponding to the second perception map, the accuracy of the target perception map can be improved.

[0116] In some embodiments, the above method may further include the following steps S204 to S205:

[0117] Step S204, obtaining the configuration information of the sensors of the target vehicle.

[0118] Here, the configuration information may include the type, quantity of the sensors of the target vehicle, and the configuration level of the sensors, etc. The configuration level of the sensors of the target vehicle can be determined according to the type, quantity, etc. of the sensors of the target vehicle. For example, the more types and the larger quantity of the sensors, the higher the corresponding sensor configuration level.

[0119] In some embodiments, the type and quantity of the sensors of the target vehicle can be obtained, and the configuration level of the sensors of the target vehicle can be determined according to a preset correspondence relationship established in advance between the type, quantity of the vehicle sensors and the sensor configuration level.

[0120] Step S205, determining the first weight and / or the second weight based on the configuration information.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first weight corresponding to the first perception map can be determined according to the configuration information of the sensors of the target vehicle, the second weight corresponding to the second perception map can be determined according to the configuration information of the sensors of the target vehicle, or the first weight corresponding to the first perception map and the second weight corresponding to the second perception map can be determined simultaneously according to the configuration information of the sensors of the target vehicle.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first weight may be determined according to the corresponding relationship established in advance between the vehicle sensor configuration level and the weight of the perception map, and the configuration level of the sensors of the target vehicle; alternatively, the first weight may be calculated according to the correlation relationship model established in advance between the vehicle sensor configuration level and the weight of the perception map (such as a pre-trained neural network model), and the configuration level of the sensors of the target vehicle.

[0123] In some embodiments, the sum of the first weight and the second weight may be a fixed parameter. After the first weight is determined, the second weight may be determined according to the fixed parameter and the first weight. For example, if the first weight is 0.4 and the fixed parameter is 1, the second weight may be determined to be 0.6.

[0124] In the above embodiments, the first weight corresponding to the first perception map and / or the second weight corresponding to the second perception map are determined based on the configuration information of the sensors of the target vehicle, so that the weights used in the fusion process of the two perception maps are associated with the configuration information of the vehicle-mounted sensors. The configuration information of the vehicle sensors can affect the accuracy of the created perception map. The first weight and the second weight can determine the contribution ratio of the respective perception maps in the fusion process. Therefore, based on the configuration information of the sensors of the target vehicle, the rationality and accuracy of the determined first weight and second weight can be improved.

[0125] In some embodiments, the above method may further include the following steps S206 to S207:

[0126] Step S206, determining the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area.

[0127] Here, the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information may represent the accuracy degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information.

[0128] In some embodiments, the target vehicle-mounted perception information may include the first distance between the target vehicle and the nearest obstacle in the target area, and the first airborne perception information may include the first reference distance between the target vehicle and the nearest obstacle in the first area. The ratio of the first distance and the first reference distance may be determined as the reliability degree of the target perception information; alternatively, the ratio of the first distance and the second reference distance may be determined as the reliability degree of the target perception information, and the second reference distance may be the distance between the target vehicle and the nearest obstacle in the target area sensed by other electronic devices different from the auxiliary device.

[0129] In some embodiments, the target vehicle-mounted perception information may include the first clarity of an image within a target area, and the first airborne perception information may include the first reference clarity of the image within the target area. The ratio of the first clarity to the first reference clarity may be determined as the reliability degree of the target perception information; alternatively, the ratio of the first clarity to the second reference clarity may be determined as the reliability degree of the target perception information, where the second reference clarity may be the clarity of an image within the target area perceived by an electronic device other than the auxiliary device.

[0130] Step S207, determine the first weight and / or the second weight based on the reliability degree.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first weight may be determined based on the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information; the second weight may be determined based on the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information; alternatively, the first weight and the second weight may be determined simultaneously based on the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first weight may be determined according to the pre-established correspondence between the reliability degree of the sensor perception information and the weight of the perception map, as well as the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area; alternatively, the first weight may be calculated according to the pre-established correlation model between the reliability degree of the sensor perception information and the weight of the perception map, as well as the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area.

[0133] In some embodiments, the sum of the first weight and the second weight may be a fixed parameter. After determining the first weight, the second weight may be determined according to this fixed parameter and the first weight.

[0134] In some embodiments, the value range of the reliability degree may be [0, 100%]. After determining the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area, the reliability degree may also be directly determined as the first weight, and the second weight may be determined based on the first weight and the fixed parameter (the sum of the first weight and the second weight). For example, if the determined reliability degree corresponding to the target vehicle-mounted perception information is 35%, the first weight may be determined as 35%, and the second weight may be determined as 75%.

[0135] In the above embodiments, based on the reliability degree of the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target area, the first weight corresponding to the first perception map and / or the second weight corresponding to the second perception map are determined, such that the weights used in the fusion process of the two perception maps are associated with the reliability degree of the vehicle-mounted perception information, thereby improving the rationality and accuracy of the first weight and the second weight that can be determined.

[0136] In some embodiments, the above method may further include the following steps S208 to S209:

[0137] Step S208: Based on the first vehicle-mounted sensing information, determine the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to at least one target candidate area around the target vehicle respectively.

[0138] Here, the target candidate area may be one or more of the left area, right area, front area, rear area, left front area, left rear area, right front area, right rear area, etc. of the target vehicle.

[0139] In some embodiments, the first vehicle-mounted sensing information may include the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the left area, right area, front area, and rear area of the target vehicle respectively. The target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the left front area of the target vehicle may be determined by the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the left area of the target vehicle and the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the front area of the target vehicle; the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the left rear area of the target vehicle may be determined by the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the left area of the target vehicle and the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the rear area of the target vehicle; the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the right front area of the target vehicle may be determined by the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the right area of the target vehicle and the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the front area of the target vehicle; the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the right rear area of the target vehicle may be determined by the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the right area of the target vehicle and the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the rear area of the target vehicle.

[0140] Step S209: When the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the target candidate area does not meet the reliability condition, determine the target candidate area as the target area.

[0141] In some embodiments, the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the target candidate area may include an image corresponding to the target candidate area. Whether the target vehicle-mounted sensing information meets the reliability condition may be determined according to the size relationship between the clarity of the image and the image clarity threshold. For example, if the clarity of the image corresponding to the target candidate area is less than the image clarity threshold, it may be determined that the target vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to the target candidate area does not meet the reliability condition.

[0142] In some embodiments, when there are multiple target candidate areas, it may be determined in turn whether the vehicle-mounted sensing information corresponding to each target candidate area meets the reliability condition, and finally the target area may be determined from the multiple target candidate areas. The target area may include one or more.

[0143] In the above embodiments, by determining, from at least one target candidate area around the target vehicle, the target candidate area where the target vehicle-mounted sensing information does not meet the reliability condition as the target area, the accuracy of the identified target area can be improved.

[0144] In some embodiments, the first vehicle-mounted sensing information includes first images respectively corresponding to at least one first candidate area around the target vehicle, and the target vehicle-mounted sensing information includes a target image; the determining, based on the first vehicle-mounted sensing information, of the target vehicle-mounted sensing information respectively corresponding to at least one target candidate area around the target vehicle in step S208 may include the following step S2081:

[0145] Step S2081: determining, based on the first images respectively corresponding to at least one first candidate area, the target images respectively corresponding to at least one target candidate area.

[0146] Here, the first candidate area may be at least one of the left area, right area, front area, and rear area of the target vehicle, and the target candidate area may be at least one of the left area, right area, front area, rear area, left front area, left rear area, right front area, and right rear area of the target vehicle, etc.

[0147] In some embodiments, when the first candidate area and the target candidate area are the same, the first image corresponding to the first candidate area may be directly determined as the target image corresponding to the corresponding target candidate area; when there are multiple first candidate areas, the first images respectively corresponding to the multiple first candidate areas may be spliced or fused to obtain the target image corresponding to the corresponding target candidate area.

[0148] Exemplarily, if the first candidate area includes the left area and the front area of the target vehicle, and the target candidate area includes the left area, the front area, and the left front area of the target vehicle, the first image corresponding to the left area in the first candidate area may be determined as the second image corresponding to the left area in the target candidate area, the first image corresponding to the front area in the first candidate area may be determined as the second image corresponding to the front area in the target candidate area, the first image corresponding to the left area in the first candidate area and the first image corresponding to the front area in the first candidate area are spliced, and the spliced common area is determined as the second image corresponding to the left front area in the target candidate area. It should be noted that the above description of the first candidate area and the target candidate area is only exemplary, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0149] In the above embodiments, the second images corresponding to at least one target candidate region are determined through the first images corresponding to at least one first candidate region respectively, so that subsequently, based on the second images corresponding to at least one target candidate region respectively, the target region can be more accurately determined from each target candidate region.

[0150] In some embodiments, at least one target candidate region includes at least one second candidate region and / or at least one third candidate region. The second candidate region includes the region where at least two first candidate regions overlap, and the third candidate region includes the region in the first candidate region that does not overlap with other first candidate regions.

[0151] In some embodiments, when the first candidate region includes the left region, right region, and front region of the target vehicle, the second candidate region may be the overlapping region (i.e., the left front region) after splicing the left region and the front region, and / or the overlapping region (i.e., the right front region) after splicing the right region and the front region; when the first candidate region includes the left region, right region, and rear region of the target vehicle, the second candidate region may be the overlapping region (i.e., the left rear region) after splicing the left region and the rear region, and / or the overlapping region (i.e., the right rear region) after splicing the right region and the rear region.

[0152] In some embodiments, the third candidate region may be one or more of the left region, right region, front region, and rear region of the target vehicle.

[0153] In the above embodiments, since the second candidate region is usually located at the edge of the corresponding first candidate region, there may be a difference in the image perception ability of the vehicle's sensor for this part and the image perception ability of the third candidate region. By using the second candidate region and / or the third candidate region as the target candidate region, the area around the target vehicle can be divided into finer granularity, so that the target area around the target vehicle can be more accurately identified.

[0154] In some embodiments, the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target candidate region includes the target distance between the target vehicle and at least one obstacle in the target candidate region; the above method may further include the following step S210:

[0155] Step S210, when the target distance corresponding to the target candidate region is less than the distance threshold, it is determined that the target vehicle-mounted perception information corresponding to the target candidate region does not meet the reliability condition.

[0156] Here, the distance threshold may be a pre-determined safe distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.

[0157] In some embodiments, the target distance corresponding to the first target candidate area may be the distance between the target vehicle and any obstacle in the target candidate area. The distances between the target vehicle and each obstacle in the target candidate area may be compared with a distance threshold respectively. If it is determined that the distance between the target vehicle and a certain obstacle in the target candidate area is less than the distance threshold, it may be determined that the on-vehicle perception information corresponding to the target candidate area does not meet the reliability condition.

[0158] In the above embodiments, if the target distance corresponding to the target candidate area is less than the distance threshold, it indicates that the on-vehicle perception information collected by the on-vehicle sensor may be unreliable, or more perception information of the target candidate area needs to be obtained in the current scenario to improve the reliability of the perception information. Therefore, in this case, determining that the target on-vehicle perception information corresponding to the target candidate area does not meet the reliability condition can improve the accuracy of judging the reliability degree of the target on-vehicle perception information.

[0159] In some embodiments, the above method may further include the following steps S2041 to step S2042:

[0160] Step S2041, determining the position information of the target parking space available for the target vehicle to park in the scene where the target vehicle is currently located.

[0161] Here, the scene where the target vehicle is currently located may be an environment such as a garage or a parking lot where the target vehicle is located. There may be no pre-established map data in the scene where the target vehicle is currently located.

[0162] In some embodiments, the position information of the target parking space available for the target vehicle to park in the environment where the target vehicle is currently located may be determined by an auxiliary device or other electronic devices, and the position information may include the position coordinates of the target parking space.

[0163] Step S2042, based on the target perception map and the position information of the target parking space, controlling the target vehicle to park in the target parking space.

[0164] In some embodiments, the target perception map may be continuously created according to the motion state of the target vehicle. During the movement of the target vehicle, the first on-vehicle perception information around the target vehicle and the first airborne perception information corresponding to the target area may be obtained in real time, and the target perception map may be determined based on the first on-vehicle perception information and the first airborne perception information obtained in real time.

[0165] In some embodiments, when the position information of the target parking space can be found in the target perception map, the movement path for the target vehicle to park in the target parking space may be determined by combining the target perception map and the position information of the target parking space. Based on this movement path, the target vehicle is controlled to drive from the current position to the target parking space and park in the target parking space.

[0166] In some embodiments, when the position information of the target parking space cannot be found in the target perception map, the airborne perception information of the area between the target vehicle and the target parking space can be obtained through an auxiliary device, and a perception map of the area between the target parking space and the target vehicle can be created based on the airborne perception information. Based on the perception map and the target perception map, the movement path for the target vehicle to drive to the target parking space is determined.

[0167] In the above embodiments, since the target perception map integrates vehicle-mounted perception information and airborne perception information and has high accuracy, when the position information of the target parking space in the scene where the target vehicle is currently located is determined, controlling the target vehicle to park based on the target perception map and the position information of the target parking space can improve the accuracy and efficiency of the target vehicle parking in the target parking space.

[0168] In some embodiments, the determination of the position information of the target parking space where the target vehicle can park in the scene where the target vehicle is currently located in step S2041 includes the following steps S20411 to S20413:

[0169] Step S20411: Send a control instruction to the auxiliary device to control the auxiliary device to perform environmental perception on the scene where the target vehicle is currently located.

[0170] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the target vehicle has a parking requirement, a control instruction can be sent to the auxiliary device. After receiving the control instruction, the auxiliary device can move to the scene where the target vehicle is currently located to perform environmental perception and obtain second airborne perception information.

[0171] Step S20412: Obtain the second airborne perception information fed back by the auxiliary device based on the control instruction.

[0172] In some embodiments, after the auxiliary device obtains the second airborne perception information, it can actively feed back the second airborne perception information to the target vehicle or the remote device; or, the target vehicle or the remote device can send an airborne perception information acquisition request to the auxiliary device after a preset duration from sending the control instruction to the auxiliary device. After receiving the airborne perception information acquisition request, the auxiliary device sends the second airborne perception information.

[0173] Step S20413: Based on the second airborne perception information and the second vehicle-mounted perception information obtained by the sensors of the target vehicle for environmental perception around the target vehicle, determine the position information of the target parking space.

[0174] In some embodiments, during the process of the auxiliary device perceiving the environment of the target vehicle's current location, the target vehicle can remain at its current position unchanged, and the second vehicle-mounted perception information collected by the target vehicle's sensors also remains unchanged; in other embodiments, during the process of the auxiliary device perceiving the environment of the target vehicle's current location, the target vehicle can also move following the auxiliary device and collect the second vehicle-mounted perception information in real time during the movement.

[0175] In some embodiments, a third perception map can be created based on the second airborne perception information, a fourth perception map can be created based on the second vehicle-mounted perception information, the third perception map and the fourth perception map can be fused to obtain a candidate perception map, and the position information of the target parking space can be determined based on the candidate perception map.

[0176] In the above embodiments, by sending a control instruction to the auxiliary device, the second airborne perception information obtained after the auxiliary device perceives the environment of the target vehicle's current location can be obtained. Further, based on the combination of the second airborne perception information and the second vehicle-mounted perception information obtained by the sensors of the target vehicle for environmental perception around the target vehicle, the position information of the target parking space can be determined, which can improve the accuracy of the determined position of the target parking space.

[0177] In some embodiments, the above method may further include the following steps S211 to step S212:

[0178] Step S211: Determine the moving path of the target vehicle based on the second airborne perception information.

[0179] In some embodiments, the auxiliary device can send the second airborne perception information it perceives to the target vehicle or a remote device. The target vehicle or the remote device can determine the moving path of the target vehicle based on the second airborne perception information. The moving path can be a driving path in which the target vehicle gradually approaches directly below or obliquely below the auxiliary device.

[0180] In other embodiments, the auxiliary device can send the second airborne perception information it perceives to the target vehicle or a remote device. The target vehicle or the remote device determines the moving path of the target vehicle based on the second airborne perception information and the vehicle-mounted perception information perceived by the target vehicle.

[0181] Step S212: Based on the moving path, control the target vehicle to move following the auxiliary device, and control the sensors of the target vehicle to perform environmental perception around the target vehicle during the process of the target vehicle moving following the auxiliary device to obtain the second vehicle-mounted perception information.

[0182] In some embodiments, during the process of the target vehicle moving following the auxiliary device, the target vehicle can perform real-time environmental perception around it, that is, the obtained second vehicle-mounted perception information changes according to the moving position of the target vehicle.

[0183] In the above embodiments, the moving path of the target vehicle is determined according to the second airborne perception information sensed by the auxiliary device, and the target vehicle is controlled to move following the drone based on the moving path. During the process of controlling the sensors of the target vehicle to move following the auxiliary device, the environment around the target vehicle is perceived to obtain the second vehicle-mounted perception information, so that the target parking space can be determined based on the fusion result of the second vehicle-mounted perception information and the second airborne perception information subsequently, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined target parking space.

[0184] Next, the implementation process of the application embodiments in the actual application scenario will be introduced.

[0185] As Figure 3 shown, it is a schematic diagram of an automatic parking enhanced perception system architecture based on vehicle-aircraft collaboration provided by the embodiments of the present application. An airborne sensor system is newly added on the basis of the traditional vehicle-mounted sensor system. The new system architecture mainly includes vehicle-mounted perception information 302 generated by the vehicle-mounted sensor system 301, airborne perception information 304 generated by the airborne sensor system 303, enhanced environmental perception information 305 formed based on the fusion of the vehicle-mounted perception information 302 and the airborne perception information 304, and the enhanced environmental perception information 305 is used to guide the autonomous driving vehicle to perform path planning and vehicle state monitoring based on the decision-making and planning system 306, generate and issue control instructions based on the execution and control system 307, and perform control of driving, braking, and steering based on the vehicle drive system 308.

[0187] Figure 4It is a schematic diagram of an environment perception enhancement technology architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. The perception enhancement is mainly achieved by fusing the vehicle-mounted perception basic global map and the airborne perception local map. Among them, the vehicle-mounted perception basic global map is obtained by respectively correcting the front view original image 401 collected by the front view camera A, the right view original image 402 collected by the right view camera B, the left view original image 403 collected by the left view camera C, and the rear view original image 404 collected by the rear view camera D to obtain the front view corrected image 405, the right view corrected image 406, the left view corrected image 407, and the rear view corrected image 408. Then, after respectively performing coordinate transformation on the front view corrected image 405, the right view corrected image 406, the left view corrected image 407, and the rear view corrected image 408, four front view regions, namely, the top view 409 of camera A (front view region), the top view 410 of camera B (right view region), the top view 411 of camera C (left view region), and the top view 412 of camera D (rear view region), and four common splicing regions, namely, the left front common region view 413, the right front common region view 414, the left rear common region view 415, and the right rear common region view 416, are formed, totaling eight vehicle-mounted perception base maps. The perception local map is obtained by the UAV correcting the left front aircraft view 417 to obtain the left front corrected image 418, and performing vehicle-mounted view coordinate transformation based on the left front corrected image 418 to obtain the left front top view 419; correcting the right front aircraft view 420 to obtain the right front corrected image 421, and performing vehicle-mounted view coordinate transformation based on the right front corrected image 421 to obtain the right front top view 422; correcting the left rear aircraft view 423 to obtain the left rear corrected image 424, and performing vehicle-mounted view coordinate transformation based on the left rear corrected image 424 to obtain the left rear top view 425; correcting the right rear aircraft view 426 to obtain the right rear corrected image 427, and performing vehicle-mounted view coordinate transformation based on the right rear corrected image 427 to obtain the right rear top view 428.

Based on the above fusion of the vehicle-mounted perception basic global map and the airborne perception local map, the perception enhancement of Figure 1 the low-precision area described in

[0188] Figure 5A schematic diagram of a vehicle - network collaboration technology architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. This vehicle - network collaboration technology architecture mainly elaborates on the collaboration mechanism, communication, and control mechanism between the vehicle - borne environment perception system and the airborne environment perception system, and finally forms enhanced vehicle - borne environment perception. During the automatic parking process of the autonomous vehicle 501, vehicle - borne environment perception is preferentially performed based on the vehicle - borne sensor system 502 to obtain vehicle - borne environment perception information 503. When the vehicle - borne environment perception information 503 is locally judged to have low reliability, weak - vision perception feedback is carried out and the weak - vision perception points are fed back. The autonomous vehicle 501 starts the vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle through the vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle control system 504, and transmits the target control point information (weak - vision perception points) through vehicle - network short - range collaborative communication technologies such as V2X, WiFi, Bluetooth, and UWB based on the vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle communication system 505. The vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the weak - vision perception points and performs view acquisition on the weak - vision target points based on the airborne sensor system 506 to form local airborne environment perception information 507. The airborne environment perception information 507 includes a left - front top view 5071, a right - front top view 5072, a left - rear top view 5073, and a right - rear top view 5074. Similarly, the airborne environment perception information 507 is fed back to the autonomous vehicle 501 through the vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle communication system 505. The autonomous vehicle 501 performs fusion perception splicing 508 based on the vehicle - borne environment perception information 503 and the airborne environment perception information 507 to obtain enhanced environment perception information 509.

[0189] Next, the method of vehicle - machine collaborative perception provided by the present application will be described in two scenarios: the scenario of automatically finding a parking space based on vehicle - machine collaboration and the scenario of automatically parking into a space based on enhanced perception. The present application is also applicable to other scenarios of autonomous vehicles involving automatic driving and fusion perception.

[0190] The present application provides a method for automatically finding a parking space based on vehicle - machine collaboration, and the method includes:

[0191] Step 11: After the autonomous vehicle automatically drives into a garage without a high - precision map, it can stop and wait in the safe area at the garage entrance.

[0192] Step 12: The autonomous vehicle starts the vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle through the vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle control system and controls it to automatically cruise and search for available parking spaces in the garage.

[0193] Step 13: The vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle leaves the autonomous vehicle and realizes SLAM path mapping and available parking space mapping based on its own ultrasonic radar, lidar, camera, etc. during the process of searching for available parking spaces.

[0194] Step 14: The vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle transmits the SLAM perception data and available parking space data to the autonomous vehicle based on the vehicle - borne unmanned aerial vehicle communication system.

[0195] Step 15: The autonomous vehicle receives the perception information from the in-vehicle drone, performs position transformation and fusion processing, and forms the perception information based on the vehicle side;

[0196] Step 16: The autonomous vehicle conducts path planning and control based on the perceived information, activates the vehicle drive system, and autonomously drives to the target idle parking space;

[0197] Step 17: After the autonomous vehicle drives to the target idle parking space, it can perform landing control or the next parking control on the in-vehicle drone based on the in-vehicle drone control system.

[0198] The method for automatically finding a parking space based on vehicle-drone collaboration provided by this application can realize finding a parking space based on an in-vehicle drone, improve the efficiency of finding a parking space while reducing the mapping and planning consumption of the vehicle itself, and has high flexibility. It solves the problem that traditional autonomous vehicles need to independently find a parking space and perform SLAM mapping with low mapping efficiency before automatic parking if there is no original high-precision map base in the garage.

[0199] This application provides an automatic parking control method based on enhanced perception, and this method includes:

[0200] Step 21: After the autonomous vehicle drives to the target parking space, it perceives the environmental state of the parking space based on the in-vehicle environment perception system to obtain the in-vehicle perception basic global map;

[0201] Step 22: If the perception result of the parking space environmental state in Step 21 is highly reliable and the parking difficulty is low, the autonomous vehicle only perceives according to the traditional method based on its own perception system and completes parking into the space; if the perception result of the parking space environmental state in Step 21 is less reliable and the parking difficulty is high, weak vision perception feedback is performed, and the weak vision perception target area is determined;

[0202] Step 23: After the in-vehicle environment perception system performs weak vision perception feedback, the vehicle starts the in-vehicle drone through the in-vehicle drone control system;

[0203] Step 24: The autonomous vehicle sends the position information of the weak vision perception target area to the in-vehicle drone based on the in-vehicle drone communication system;

[0204] Step 25: The in-vehicle drone moves to the weak vision perception target area and completes the mapping of the in-vehicle environment perception based on the on-board sensor system to obtain the on-board perception local map;

[0205] Step 26: The in-vehicle drone feeds back the in-vehicle environment perception information (the on-board perception local map) to the vehicle side through the in-vehicle drone communication system;

[0206] Step 27: After the vehicle receiver of the autonomous vehicle receives the on-vehicle environmental perception information, based on the on-vehicle perception basic global map in Step 21 and the on-board perception local map in Step 26, an enhanced environmental perception information is obtained through fusion;

[0207] Step 28: The autonomous vehicle performs dynamic parking based on the enhanced environmental perception information fused in Step 27, conducts path planning and control based on the enhanced environmental perception information, and starts the vehicle drive system to automatically park into the target parking space;

[0208] Step 29: After the autonomous vehicle drives to the target parking space, landing control is performed based on the on-vehicle drone control system.

[0209] The automatic parking control method based on enhanced perception provided by this application introduces physical third-perspective perception "command" based on on-vehicle drone collaborative perception, realizes "blind spot filling" for the construction of high-precision maps in low-precision areas, improves the global perception accuracy, effectively improves the automatic parking accuracy, parking success rate, and parking efficiency in various complex environments, and solves the problem that the traditional automatic parking self-vehicle perception method is the physical first perspective, and the perception accuracy and mapping efficiency are relatively low in complex environments and distorted position areas.

[0210] In addition, this application is also applicable to non-full-automatic parking systems. During the manual parking process, the environmental perception of the on-vehicle drone during parking can be directly sent to the vehicle cockpit in the form of a video stream to realize 360° panoramic view data and driver vision enhancement in complex parking space environments. At the same time, this application is also applicable to vehicle perimeter environment shooting and self-vehicle following shooting in terms of scene functions; the on-board perception system described in this application can be used to make up for the fusion perception ability of vehicles without an on-vehicle perception system or with a low-configured on-vehicle perception system. For example, the vehicle may not be equipped with a surround-view camera, and normal environment perception can be realized only based on the on-board perception system; the method described in this application is a general and universal method. In addition to realizing enhanced automatic parking perception in traditional passenger vehicles, it can also realize enhanced environmental perception through technology replication and iteration on flying cars, intelligent logistics vehicles, autonomous mobile robots, and non-motor vehicles with similar automatic parking capabilities.
