[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more explicit, the following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and by way of examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0046] The method for predicting a radar echo map according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the method for predicting a radar echo map includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S10: Obtain scene information, use a signal-level radar model based on a mechanism architecture as a prior model, and the prior model outputs a prior echo map according to the scene information.

[0048] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the signal-level radar model based on a mechanism architecture includes an ideal radio frequency model and a scattering center model; obtain scene information, obtain a scene ground truth according to the scene information, and input the scene ground truth into the scattering center model; the scattering center model calculates the echo signal of the radar according to the scene ground truth and sends the echo signal to the ideal radio frequency model; the ideal radio frequency model processes the received echo signal and outputs a prior echo map.

[0049] The method of the present invention can be used in tasks such as radar modeling, and further can be used in simulation systems for autonomous driving and unmanned aerial vehicles. For example, when applied to autonomous driving, a signal-level radar model is established based on a mechanism architecture. For example, using the scattering center method, the target vehicle is equivalent to a point target at the center position of the vehicle. This method ignores the multipath effect of radar signals and excludes the influence of other factors in the scene (such as ground reflection and fixed objects), assuming that the radar only receives the signal reflected by the target equivalent point. The frequency of the signal is obtained by the frequency of the radar transmitted signal and the radial velocity of the target equivalent point. This method usually does not calculate the absolute value of the phase of the target, but only calculates the relative phase value between different receiving channels according to the element spacing. In addition, according to the distance of the target, the delay of the signal returned to the radar at the target equivalent point is calculated:

[0050]

[0051] ΔT = R length / c; (3)

[0052] where, f echo represents the frequency of the echo signal, f txdenotes the frequency of the radar transmitted signal, v r denotes the radial relative velocity between the radar and the target, λ denotes the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, denotes the phase difference between different receiving channels, d denotes the spacing between different receiving array elements, θ denotes the relative angle between the target and the radar, ΔT denotes the delay of the signal returned to the radar at the equivalent point of the target, R length denotes the total distance between the target and the radar, c denotes the speed of light.

[0053] The parameters of the signal received by the radar are calculated using the above formulas (1)-(3). It is Figure 2 the output of the scattering center model.

[0054] As Figure 2 shown, the scattering center model is used to generate the echo signal received by the radar for the test scenario; the ideal radio frequency model includes a signal source, a power splitter, a transmitting antenna (TX), a receiving antenna (RX), a mixer, and an AD conversion module (ADC); the signal source is used to set parameters such as the frequency of the transmitted signal; the power splitter is used to divide the signal into two parts, one part is transmitted to the transmitting antenna, and the other part is transmitted to the mixer as the local oscillator signal (LO) of this frame; the transmitting antenna is used to transmit the signal; the receiving antenna is used to receive the signal; the mixer is used to subtract the frequency of the local oscillator signal (LO) from the frequency of the radio frequency signal (RF) received by the receiving antenna to obtain an intermediate frequency signal, and sample it using the AD conversion module to obtain the raw data Raw Data.

[0055] After performing FFT transform (Fast Fourier Transform) on the raw data Raw Data, the prior echo map of the radar is obtained, and the prior echo map includes a range-angle map and a range-doppler map.

[0056] Perform fast Fourier transform (FFT transform) calculation on the fast time dimension of the raw data to extract the range information in the data; then perform fast Fourier transform (FFT transform) on the data output after performing fast Fourier transform (FFT transform) on the slow time dimension to extract the velocity information; perform non-coherent accumulation on the data that has undergone fast Fourier transform (FFT transform) in two dimensions to obtain a range-doppler map; finally, perform fast Fourier transform (FFT transform) on the data after the slow time dimension in the spatial dimension to extract the angle information, and downsample the three-dimensional data matrix of the range information, velocity information, and angle information to obtain a range-angle map.

[0057] Among them, the fast time dimension refers to the echo signal of a single pulse transmission period, which contains the distance information of the target; the slow time dimension refers to the time interval between consecutive pulse transmissions, which contains the velocity information of the target.

[0058] Step S20: Input the prior echo map into the data-driven model, and use the data-driven model to predict the prior echo map to output the true echo map of the radar.

[0059] Specifically, the data-driven model receives the prior echo map sent by the ideal radio frequency model, and the data-driven model uses the Unet network to predict the prior echo map to output the true echo map of the radar.

[0060] As Figure 3 shown, the prior echo map output by the prior model is used as the input, and the data-driven model is used to fit the true echo map. The present invention uses the Unet network to fit the relationship between the prior echo map and the true echo map, making up for the deficiency of the prior model in predicting detailed features.

[0061] The present invention uses the signal-level radar model based on the mechanism architecture as the prior model, takes advantage of its advantages in real-time performance, high generalization ability, and prediction accuracy of main features, generates the backbone features in the echo map according to the scene information, and the features of the prior model ensure the accuracy of the backbone features of the echo map, avoiding deviation from the true value and providing a reliable prediction basis for the data-driven model. Subsequently, the data-driven model quickly adjusts the detailed part of the prior echo map. Relying on its high accuracy and robustness in simple mapping relationship problems, the data-driven model uses the prior echo map generated by the prior model as the input to predict a result closer to the true echo map. In this way, the data-driven model makes up for the deficiency of the prior model in predicting detailed features, thereby significantly improving the prediction accuracy of the echo map.

[0062] The present invention can effectively improve the prediction accuracy of the model. Conventional mechanism-based methods are limited by their own limitations and cannot accurately calculate the radar echo map. However, the present invention uses a data-driven method to improve the echo map output by the mechanism model, enhancing the accuracy of the echo map. At the same time, it avoids the end-to-end approach of directly using the scene true value to predict the radar echo map in conventional data-driven methods, which can significantly improve the confidence of the radar model in different simulations and promote the development of simulation tests such as autonomous driving and unmanned aerial vehicles.

[0063] Next, the implementation of the prediction method for the radar echo map is further introduced:

[0064] The first step is to establish a radar model based on the mechanism (i.e., the signal-level radar model based on the mechanism architecture) for outputting prior echo map data.

[0065] Calculate the amplitude, frequency, and time delay of the target echo signal according to the formula. Each component in the signal-level radar model based on the mechanism architecture is an ideal component. Set the operating frequency to 77 GHz, the bandwidth to 400 MHz, and the period to 20 us. The transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna usually use non-directional omnidirectional antennas. The mixer mixes the local oscillator signal and the RF signal according to the delay of the received signal to calculate the amplitude, frequency, and phase information of the intermediate frequency signal. Then, the calculated signal is processed by FFT to obtain the echo map.

[0066] In the second step, use the prior echo map to train the Unet network (the Unet network is used in the data-driven model).

[0067] Use the method proposed in the present invention to establish a radar model. The training hyperparameters of the present invention are shown in the following table:

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] The echo map obtained thereby is as Figure 4 shown. It can be seen that the output of the Unet model has a significant improvement in the prediction of detailed features compared to the echo map of the ideal mechanism model. The predicted echo map has improved in the target distribution area. The MSE (Mean Squared Error) of the range-angle map (i.e., the Range-Angle Map in Figure 4 ) and the range-doppler map (Range-Doppler Map) has decreased significantly compared to the ideal mechanism model.

[0071] Furthermore, as Figure 5 shown, based on the above-mentioned radar echo map prediction method, the present invention also correspondingly provides a radar echo map prediction system, wherein the radar echo map prediction system includes:
