Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of railway engineering measurement, and in particular to a millimeter wave radar measurement method for estimating multiple influencing factors. Background Art
[0002] Against the backdrop of the rapid development of high-speed rail in my country, the operational safety of high-speed rail faces problems such as deformation of structures such as roadbeds, bridges, and tracks, as well as potential geological disasters along the line. When trains are running at high speeds, slight deformation of roadbeds and bridges can lead to uneven tracks, causing trains to slow down and even affecting driving safety. Therefore, track geometry detection is crucial to the safe operation of high-speed rail.
[0003] To ensure safe train movement, railway authorities must regularly inspect the geometry of railway tracks and perform repairs and maintenance. Currently, Beidou positioning technology, due to its high precision and all-weather capabilities, has become one of the most mature track inspection solutions outside tunnels. During railway track inspection, the need for positioning and safety testing extends beyond tunnels; measurement and positioning are also required inside tunnels. Total stations, traditional high-precision measurement equipment, integrate inertial navigation and other technologies. By providing reference coordinates and using inertial navigation systems to compensate for dynamic errors, they have enabled static measurement of track geometry parameters (such as gauge, level, and height) inside tunnels. However, total stations remain imported, leading to high prices, low efficiency, and inadequate data security.
[0004] Millimeter-wave radar is a radar system that uses the millimeter-wave frequency band for detection and ranging. It can penetrate obstacles such as water vapor and smoke and is unaffected by lighting conditions. It can simultaneously identify multiple targets and offers advantages such as long time series, real-time performance, high precision (submillimeter level), and non-contact performance. Compared to measurement robots costing hundreds of thousands of yuan, millimeter-wave radar is relatively affordable (500 to 2000 yuan), offering a cost-effective solution. However, millimeter-wave radar is primarily used for deflection monitoring of structures such as bridges, and achieving high-precision positioning in the complex environments of tunnels has not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, a millimeter-wave radar measurement method that accounts for multiple influencing factors is urgently needed, eliminating the effects of radar electronic component delay, angle, and meteorological factors, and constructing a precise observation model to achieve rapid measurement of track geometry. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of one aspect of the present invention provides a millimeter wave radar measurement method that takes into account multiple influencing factors, including the following steps: S1. Obtaining raw radar data and performing fine processing on the obtained raw radar data to obtain an accurate range value of a single radar to a target; further preferably, as Figure 2 As shown, in S1, the refined processing of the acquired raw radar data to obtain the precise distance measurement value of a single radar to the target includes: S101, coarse extraction of distance values, including: using a corner reflector as a target, using FFT to calculate the frequency of discrete beat signals in the raw radar data (primarily peaks with strong amplitudes and concentrated frequencies), selecting the frequency corresponding to the signal with the maximum amplitude, and converting it to obtain the target radial distance; the corner reflector is an octagonal one. The calculation formula is as follows: Where, is the propagation speed of the signal in the atmosphere, is the sampling frequency, is the quantized frequency point after FFT, is the signal frequency modulation slope, is the complex sampling point.
[0020] The search interval is determined by the calculated target radial distance (prior distance), the signal with the maximum amplitude is selected, the point with the maximum amplitude in the search interval is determined, and the frequency fc corresponding to the maximum FFT amplitude is determined.
[0021] S102, spectrum refinement, including rough extraction of the target radial distance, determining the frequency corresponding to the target between the left and right adjacent spectral lines of the maximum spectral line (i.e., determining the spectrum refinement interval based on the FFT result, selecting the one with the largest amplitude), and using CZT to refine the spectral line to obtain the unambiguous phase of the target (i.e., the frequency and phase corresponding to the maximum CZT amplitude); the starting point of the refined frequency is the left spectral line adjacent to the maximum spectral line, and the end point is the right spectral line adjacent to the maximum spectral line. The local spectrum is refined from the original two points to To avoid phase ambiguity, the phase difference between adjacent spectral lines should not exceed , thus determining the refinement multiple .
[0022] S103, ranging value refinement, based on the target's unambiguous phase (i.e., the frequency and phase corresponding to the maximum CZT amplitude of the first epoch and the frequency and phase corresponding to the maximum CZT amplitude of the second epoch), calculate the phase difference between the two ranging measurements, calculate the radial deformation distance according to the formula; convert the phase difference into the corresponding distance change ,Will By adding it to the first distance measurement value, the precise distance measurement value of the next epoch can be obtained.
[0023] The distance value is refined by calculating the phase difference between two distance measurements and converting it into the corresponding distance change. ,Will By adding it to the first distance measurement value, the precise distance measurement value of the next epoch can be obtained.
[0024] During the first ranging, the phase of the beat signal obtained by the radar diagonal reflector is: The target deformation information is: Where, is the phase difference between the two ranging measurements, is the signal starting frequency, is the signal frequency modulation period, is the time delay from signal transmission to echo reception during the first ranging, is the initial phase; is the quantized frequency point after FFT; therefore, the ranging error compensation model is expressed as follows d t+1 =d t +△d .
[0025] S2. Set the azimuth and elevation angles of the radar transmitter to 0; and construct a ranging error compensation model. The azimuth and elevation angles of the radar transmitter are set to 0; a ranging error compensation model is constructed, including: The pitch angle and horizontal angle of the radar antenna and corner reflector were adjusted to 0°. The corner reflector was linearly translated 2000 times from 0.5m to 200m in steps of 0.1m. The true absolute distance between the radar and the corner reflector was obtained by Leica Tracker AT960 in conjunction with T-Pro as the true value. The difference between the distance and the corner reflector measured by the radar was used to obtain the optimal linear function model with the true value, which was used as the ranging error compensation model.
[0026] S3, alternately transforming the azimuth and elevation angles of the radar to the angle transmitter to construct a millimeter wave radar angle error model; Furthermore, in S3, the azimuth and elevation angles of the radar transmitter are alternately transformed to construct a millimeter-wave radar angle error model, including: The pitch angle between the radar and the corner reflector was fixed at 0°, and the horizontal angle was rotated from -60° to 60° in 5° steps for 25 times. The measured value obtained by the ranging error compensation model was subtracted from the true value to construct an optimal function model between the error and the horizontal angle. Based on the test data, this application uses a trigonometric function with a term of 1 to fit the deviation between the true value and the measured value of the horizontal angle collected multiple times. The result has the smallest RMSE and a high R-squared. Therefore, the optimal function model between the error and the horizontal angle is expressed by the following formula: x is the radar horizontal angle, and f(x) is the deviation between the radar ranging value and the true distance (after ranging error model compensation).
[0027] The horizontal angle is fixed at 0°, and the pitch angle is rotated from -30° to 30° with a step size of 5° for a total of 13 times. The measured value obtained by the ranging error compensation model is subtracted from the true value to construct an optimal function model between the error and the pitch angle.
[0028] Similarly, based on the test data, this application uses a first-order polynomial fitting result to minimize the RMSE of the deviation between the true value and the measured value corresponding to the pitch angle collected multiple times. Therefore, the optimal function model between the error and the pitch angle is expressed by the following formula: x is the radar pitch angle, and f(x) is the deviation between the radar ranging value and the true distance (after ranging error model compensation).
[0029] S4. Compensate the distance obtained by the radar measuring the corner reflector using a range error model and an angle error model, measure the temperature and humidity near the radar using a temperature and humidity meter, analyze the relationship between the temperature, humidity, and the compensated distance, and construct a meteorological correction model; Further preferably, the step of measuring the temperature and humidity near the radar using a thermometer and hygrometer, analyzing the relationship between the temperature, humidity and the compensated distance, and constructing a meteorological correction model comprises the following steps: Select any distance within 200m from the radar, use a temperature and humidity meter and a timed photography program to measure the real-time meteorological factors on site, including temperature and humidity values; Correcting the radar ranging value in sequence using the ranging error compensation model and the millimeter-wave radar angle error model to obtain a compensated radar ranging distance; The temperature value, humidity value and radar ranging distance are used to construct a mapping relationship matrix between real-time weather and corrected ranging values to form a weather correction model.

At this point, a meteorological correction model related to millimeter-wave radar ranging can be established using factors such as the Euclidean distance to be measured, temperature, air pressure, and humidity. The ranging value, after being corrected for range compensation, horizontal angle, and elevation angle compensation, is corrected using the meteorological correction model formula (2-40).
