Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of laser radar technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment, medium and product for collecting target information. Background Art

[0002] Automatically identifying moving objects like pedestrians and vehicles and counting their entry and exit is crucial in scenarios like urban traffic management and crowd monitoring in large commercial venues. Traditional visual image methods and ToF (Time of Flight)-based LiDAR technology have many limitations in their applications.

[0003] Traditional visual image methods primarily rely on deep learning algorithms to process camera-captured images to identify and count targets. However, this method requires extremely high computing power, and at night, in low-light conditions, infrared technology must be used to assist in image acquisition, which not only increases equipment cost but also can affect image quality. During the day, strong sunlight can easily cause image overexposure and shadow interference, reducing target recognition accuracy. Time-of-flight (ToF)-based lidar technology can directly measure the distance between the target and the radar, reducing the computing power required for target recognition compared to visual image methods. However, ToF lidar is susceptible to interference from ambient light, and strong ambient light can increase measurement errors. More critically, ToF lidar cannot obtain target speed and direction information from a single frame of data. In scenes with dense pedestrian and vehicle traffic, it is difficult to continuously track targets, and targets can be easily lost, affecting the accuracy and reliability of statistics.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the embodiments of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for collecting target information statistics provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment is applicable to the case of collecting statistics on target information. The method can be executed by a target information statistics device. The target information statistics device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The target information statistics device can be configured in an electronic device, including but not limited to computers, computers, terminals, servers and other devices with data processing capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0031] S110 , using a beam splitter to separate a modulated optical signal into a transmitted optical signal and a local oscillator optical signal; the frequency of the modulated optical signal is a linear triangular wave.

[0032] In this embodiment, the modulated optical signal may be an optical signal generated and modulated by a laser transmitter in a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) laser radar. In an FMCW laser radar, the frequency of the optical signal generated by the laser transmitter is modulated into a linear triangular wave form, that is, the frequency of the modulated optical signal changes linearly with time, forming a periodic triangular wave shape. The modulation method may be current modulation, temperature modulation and / or external modulator modulation. Among them, the FMCW laser radar may be a laser radar system that uses frequency modulated continuous wave technology to measure the distance and speed of a target. It measures the distance and speed of the target by modulating the frequency of the transmitted optical signal and analyzing the frequency difference between the reflected optical signal and the transmitted optical signal. Frequency modulation allows the frequency of the modulated optical signal to change linearly and periodically with time, laying the foundation for subsequent information extraction.

[0033] Specifically, a beam splitter can be used to split the modulated optical signal into a transmitted optical signal and a local oscillator optical signal. The beam splitter can be a beam splitter, which is an optical element typically made of special optical materials (such as a beam splitter prism or a semi-transparent, semi-reflective mirror) that can split a beam of light into two or more beams. The transmitted optical signal can be the optical signal used to illuminate the target after beam splitting, and the local oscillator optical signal can be the optical signal retained as a local reference signal after beam splitting.

[0034] It should be noted that LiDAR can obtain target information at every angle path within a target scene. Common scanning methods include mechanical rotation scanning, MEMS micro-vibration mirror scanning, and solid-state phased array scanning. Taking mechanical rotation scanning as an example, the laser transmitter and receiver are mounted on a rotatable structure, which transmits and receives laser signals at each angle through 360-degree uniform rotation. MEMS micro-vibration mirror scanning uses the rapid swing of micro-mirrors to achieve beam deflection in different directions, completing field of view coverage without relying on complex mechanical structures; solid-state phased array scanning is based on the principle of electronic control of beam direction. By adjusting the phase difference of the array antenna, the laser beam can be quickly scanned in space, with higher reliability and scanning speed.

[0035] S120: Direct the transmitted light signal toward a target object in the target scene to determine an echo signal corresponding to the target object.

[0036] In this embodiment, the target scene may be a scene where target object information statistics are required. For example, the target scene may be a scene such as urban traffic management or crowd flow monitoring in large commercial venues. Specifically, after obtaining a transmitted light signal, the transmitted light signal may be directed toward a target object in the target scene. The target object may reflect the transmitted light signal to obtain an echo signal. The echo signal may be the transmitted light signal after being reflected by the target object. The frequency of the echo signal may differ from that of the transmitted light signal due to the distance and movement of the target object.

[0037] S130. Determine target information corresponding to the target based on the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal; the target information includes the moving speed of the target relative to the FMCW laser radar and the distance between the target and the FMCW laser radar.

[0038] Specifically, after the echo signal is determined, the local oscillator (LO) light and the echo signal are coherently detected in an optical mixer. A photodetector captures the interference signal generated by the superposition of the LO light and the echo signal, and the frequency difference between the two is detected. Based on this frequency difference, the corresponding target information can be determined.

[0039] The target information includes the target's speed relative to the FMCW lidar and the distance between the target and the FMCW lidar. The target information can be stored as point cloud data, which is a collection of data used to represent the surface of an object or the entire space in three-dimensional space. Point cloud data can be composed of a large number of points, each of which contains specific three-dimensional coordinates (usually X, Y, and Z coordinates) and sometimes other attributes such as color, intensity, and normal direction.

[0040] It should be noted that the echo signal carries two important pieces of information relative to the local oscillator light signal: one is the light propagation delay caused by the distance between the target and the FMCW lidar, that is, the time difference in the round-trip light between the radar and the target. This time difference is directly related to the distance between the target and the FMCW lidar, and the distance can be calculated through correlation. The second piece of information is the Doppler shift caused by the target's movement speed. When the target approaches or moves away from the radar, the frequency of the echo signal will increase or decrease accordingly.

[0041] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of Doppler frequency shift provided in this embodiment is shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, the frequency of the modulated optical signal is a linear triangular wave. The blue signal represents the local oscillator (LO) optical signal, the red signal represents the echo signal, and the green signal represents the frequency difference signal extracted from the echo and LO signals. In actual calculations, the frequency difference between the rising and falling edges of the triangular wave can be utilized. The frequency difference between the rising and falling echoes and the LO light differs due to the opposite Doppler shift directions. By analyzing and calculating these two frequency differences through a specific signal processing algorithm, we can accurately separate and obtain target range and velocity information.

[0042] This embodiment provides a method for collecting target information, including: using a beam splitter to separate a modulated light signal into a transmitted light signal and a local oscillator light signal; the frequency of the modulated light signal is a linear triangular wave; directing the transmitted light signal toward a target in a target scene to determine an echo signal corresponding to the target; and determining target information corresponding to the target based on the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal; the target information includes the target's speed relative to an FMCW laser radar and the distance between the target and the FMCW laser radar. This technical solution avoids interference with target identification caused by environmental factors and improves the efficiency and accuracy of target information collection.

[0043] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, the target object information statistics method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0044] 1) When the target scene includes multiple targets, at least two moving targets are determined based on the movement speed of each target relative to the FMCW laser radar and a preset speed threshold.

[0045] Specifically, if there are multiple targets in the target scene, the target information of each target can be obtained based on the method provided in this embodiment. The target information includes the moving speed of the target relative to the FMCW laser radar and the distance between the target and the FMCW laser radar.

[0046] Continuing with the above description, at least two moving targets can be identified based on the speed of each target relative to the FMCW lidar and a preset speed threshold. The preset speed threshold can be a pre-set speed threshold that can be used to assess whether the target is stationary or in motion. For example, for any of the targets, the target's speed relative to the FMCW lidar can be compared with the preset speed threshold. If the target's speed relative to the FMCW lidar exceeds the preset speed threshold, the target can be considered to be in motion and identified as a moving target. If the target's speed relative to the FMCW lidar is below the preset speed threshold, the target can be considered to be stationary and identified as a background target. Using the preset speed threshold to filter out moving targets from the various targets reduces the amount of data required for subsequent analysis of moving targets, reduces data processing, and improves target recognition efficiency for stationary background objects in the target scene.

[0047] 2) Determine the inflow and outflow flow of the target scene based on the installation position of the FMCW laser radar and the frequency difference corresponding to each of the moving targets.

[0048] Specifically, after the moving target is identified, the installation location of the FMCW lidar can be determined. The inflow and outflow of the target scene can be determined based on the installation location of the FMCW lidar and the frequency difference corresponding to each moving target. The frequency difference can be the frequency difference between the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal corresponding to the moving target. By analyzing the frequency difference (Doppler shift) between the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal corresponding to the moving target, it can be determined whether the target is approaching or moving away from the radar. The Doppler shift refers to the difference between the frequency of the wave reflected by the target and the frequency emitted by the source when there is relative motion between the transmitting source and the target. Specifically, when the target approaches the radar, the frequency of the reflected signal increases, a phenomenon known as an "upward Doppler shift" or "positive Doppler shift." When the target moves away from the radar, the frequency of the reflected signal decreases, a phenomenon known as a "downward Doppler shift" or "negative Doppler shift."

[0049] As an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, determining the inbound and outbound traffic of the target scene based on the installation position of the FMCW lidar and the target object information corresponding to the moving targets in the moving target set includes:

[0050] 1) Determine the movement direction of each of the moving targets based on the installation position of the FMCW laser radar and the frequency difference corresponding to each of the moving targets.

[0051] Specifically, the motion state of the moving target relative to the FMCW lidar can be determined based on the frequency difference corresponding to the moving target. This motion state can include moving away from or approaching the FMCW lidar. Once the motion state is determined, the direction of movement of each moving target can be determined based on the installation location of the FMCW lidar and the motion state corresponding to each moving target. It should be noted that the direction of movement of the moving target, whether moving away from or approaching the moving target represented by the FMCW lidar, will vary depending on the installation location of the FMCW lidar.

[0052] For example, an FMCW lidar is installed at the entrance of a hotel lobby, and the target scene is the hotel lobby. If the difference between the frequency of the local oscillator light signal and the frequency of the echo signal corresponding to the moving target is positive, the frequency of the echo signal is considered to be lower than that of the local oscillator light signal, that is, the frequency of the signal reflected by the target has decreased (negative Doppler shift), and the moving target can be considered to be moving away from the FMCW lidar. If the frequency difference is negative, that is, the frequency of the signal reflected by the target has increased (i.e., a positive Doppler shift has occurred), then the moving target is moving toward the FMCW lidar.

[0053] Continuing with the above description, if the FMCW lidar is installed at the entrance to the hotel lobby and the moving target moves away from the FMCW lidar, it can be determined that the moving target is moving into the hotel lobby. If the FMCW lidar is installed at the entrance to the hotel lobby and the moving target moves close to the FMCW lidar, it can be determined that the moving target is moving out of the hotel lobby.

[0054] Taking the moving target as a human body image as an example, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the motion state recognition result of a moving target provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the motion states of two adjacent human images are identified as approaching and moving away from the FMCW lidar, respectively. In a single frame of data, FMCW's detection of Doppler shift directly indicates whether a moving target is approaching or moving away from the FMCW lidar. The velocity of the moving target is also determined, allowing the static background to be removed. The approaching and moving away data can then be extracted for separate moving target identification (e.g., number recognition). This ensures that even two moving targets in close proximity are not identified as the same target. In dense pedestrian and vehicle traffic, the FMCW-based lidar target counting method can quickly and accurately identify moving targets and count the number of people entering and leaving the vehicle. Whether monitoring vehicle flow in real time at a traffic intersection or counting people entering and leaving a large shopping mall, this method operates stably and reliably, providing accurate data support for intelligent urban management and business decision-making. Compared to traditional methods, it offers greater environmental adaptability, lower computing power requirements, and superior target tracking and identification capabilities, demonstrating strong technical advantages and broad application prospects.

[0055] 2) Determine the inflow and outflow traffic of the target scene based on the movement direction of each of the moving targets.

[0056] Specifically, after the moving direction of each moving target object is obtained, the inflow and outflow traffic of the target scene can be determined based on the moving direction of the moving target object.

[0057] As an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the determining the target information corresponding to the target based on the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal further includes:

[0058] 1) Determining a first moving target set and a second moving target set based on the moving directions of the moving targets, wherein the moving directions of the moving targets in the first target set and the second target set are opposite.

[0059] Specifically, after obtaining the motion direction of each moving target object, a first moving target set and a second moving target set can be determined based on the motion direction of each moving target object. The moving targets in the first moving target set have the same motion direction, the moving targets in the second moving target set have the same motion direction, and the moving targets in the first and second moving target sets have opposite motion directions.

[0060] 2) Determining the inflow and outflow traffic of the target scene based on the first target object set and the second target object set.

[0061] After obtaining the first target object set and the second target object set, the inflow and outflow traffic of the target scene may be determined based on the number of moving targets in the first target object set and the number of moving targets in the second target object set.

[0062] For example, the target scene can be the lobby of a shopping mall, and the installation location of the FMCW laser radar can be at the entrance of the shopping mall lobby. The movement direction of the first target object set is close to the FMCW laser radar. It can be considered that the moving targets in the first target object set are all going out of the mall. The movement direction of the second target object set is away from the FMCW laser radar. It can be considered that the moving targets in the second target object set are all going to enter the mall. The number of moving targets in the first target object set and the number of moving targets in the second target object set determine the inflow and outflow traffic of the mall.

[0063] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, determining the target object information corresponding to the target object based on the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal includes:

[0064] 1) Determine an electrical signal based on the local oscillator optical signal and the echo signal.

[0065] Specifically, after obtaining the local oscillation optical signal, the electrical signal may be determined through the local oscillation optical signal and the echo signal, wherein the frequency of the electrical signal may be the frequency difference between the echo signal and the local oscillation optical signal.

[0066] 2) Determining target object information corresponding to the target object based on the frequency of the electrical signal.

[0067] Continuing with the above description, after obtaining the electrical signal, the distance between the target object and the FMCW lidar can be calculated based on the frequency of the electrical signal and the modulation parameters of the FMCW lidar transmission signal (such as the bandwidth of the modulation frequency). By analyzing the rate of change of the frequency difference (Doppler shift), the moving speed of the target object relative to the radar is calculated, and then the target object information corresponding to the target object can be obtained.

[0068] As an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, determining the electrical signal based on the local oscillator optical signal and the echo signal includes:

[0069] 1) Using an optical mixer, the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal are superimposed to obtain an interference light signal, wherein the interference light signal carries the frequency difference between the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal corresponding to the target object.

[0070] Specifically, after obtaining the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal, an optical mixer may be used to superimpose the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal to obtain an interference light signal, which carries the frequency difference between the local oscillator light signal and the echo signal.

[0071] 2) Converting the interference light signal into the electrical signal using a photodetector.

[0072] Specifically, a photodetector may be used to convert the interference light signal into an electrical signal, and the frequency of the electrical signal is the frequency difference between the echo signal and the local oscillator light signal.
