[0044] Embodiment one

[0045] A screw unloading machine feeding device pose system based on laser recognition, Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an embodiment of the application, as Figure 1 shown, comprising: a laser recognition module, a screw unloading machine feeding module, a positioning and attitude acquisition module, a control module;

[0046] The laser recognition module is in communication connection with the control module, and is used for scanning the surface of the materials in the cabin and acquiring three-dimensional spatial coordinate data; in the embodiment, the laser recognition module comprises a multi-line laser radar; the multi-line laser radar ensures that the material surface information can be stably and accurately acquired under the complex light condition and the environment with more dust in the cabin. The multi-line laser radar has a plurality of scanning line arrays, and can simultaneously acquire distance information of a plurality of height levels in one scanning period through high-speed rotation or swinging multi-angle laser scanning, so as to realize full-coverage measurement of the material surface in the cabin.

[0047] The multi-line laser radar acquires distance data and reflection intensity information of the material surface through multi-angle laser scanning; in the scanning process, the multi-line laser radar emits laser pulses to the material surface, receives the reflected signals, calculates the accurate distance between the material surface and the sensor through the ranging principle of time of flight or phase difference, and synchronously records the reflection intensity information. The reflection intensity information can reflect the material surface material, roughness and color difference, so as to assist in identifying the material type and boundary features in the subsequent data processing stage. The multi-line laser radar has at least 16 line scanning capabilities, a scanning frequency of 20 Hz to 50 Hz, a measurement range of 0.5 m to 50 m, a measurement accuracy of ±3 mm to ±5 mm, and an IP65 protection level of the laser radar shell, so as to ensure stable operation in the humid and dusty cabin environment.

[0048] According to the distance data and the reflection intensity information, three-dimensional point cloud data is formed; the multi-line laser radar matches and fuses the acquired distance data and reflection intensity information according to the scanning angle and the time stamp, to form a complete three-dimensional point cloud data set. The three-dimensional point cloud data contains the spatial position of each sampling point of the material surface, i.e. X, Y and Z coordinates;

[0049] According to the three-dimensional point cloud data, three-dimensional spatial coordinate data of the material surface is generated based on a space fitting and surface reconstruction algorithm. The space fitting and surface reconstruction algorithm can be least square fitting, B-spline surface fitting, Poisson surface reconstruction, etc. The original point cloud data is denoised, interpolated and smoothed, a continuous three-dimensional model of the material surface is constructed, and the spatial distribution, accumulation form and height information of the materials in the cabin are further accurately obtained, to provide a reliable data basis for subsequent path planning, unloading sequence optimization and speed control. At the same time, the system can dynamically update the estimation result of the material remaining amount according to the point cloud data, to realize real-time monitoring and closed-loop control of the unloading process.

[0050] In the embodiment, according to the three-dimensional point cloud data, three-dimensional spatial coordinate data of the material surface is generated based on a space fitting and surface reconstruction algorithm, which comprises:

[0051] The point cloud registration algorithm is used for coordinate unification and time synchronization of the three-dimensional point cloud data, to form a continuous global point cloud model. Since the multi-line laser radar usually needs to collect data multiple times when scanning the cabin materials, and the position or attitude of the device may change during scanning, the point cloud data of different batches is different in the coordinate system and the collection time. In this embodiment, the iterative closest point algorithm, NDT algorithm or feature matching algorithm can be used to convert the point cloud data of multiple time points and multiple perspectives into a unified global coordinate system, and synchronize through the timestamp information, to finally form a continuous and seamless global point cloud model.

[0052] The global point cloud model is fitted in space based on the surface fitting algorithm, and the geometric morphology of the material surface is extracted. In order to reduce the influence of point cloud noise on the fitting accuracy, the global point cloud model is filtered and down-sampled, for example, the statistical outlier removal method or the voxel grid filtering is used to reduce the data amount and eliminate abnormal points. Then, a surface fitting method such as polynomial surface fitting, B-spline surface fitting or least square smoothing surface fitting is used to model the material surface region, to obtain a continuous geometric description of the material surface.

[0053] A surface reconstruction algorithm is used to grid the material surface based on the geometric morphology of the material surface, to generate a continuous material surface model. In the surface reconstruction process, Poisson surface reconstruction, alpha shape or Delaunay triangulation method can be selected to convert the discrete point cloud into a triangular mesh model with consistent topology, to realize the conversion of the material surface from discrete points to continuous curves. The gridding model can intuitively reflect the stacking morphology and spatial distribution characteristics of the material, and can be used as basic data for subsequent unloading path planning and simulation.

[0054] Based on the material surface model, three-dimensional spatial coordinate data of the material surface is generated. The material surface grid can be sampled according to a predetermined resolution, and the spatial position (X, Y, Z coordinates) of each sampling point is output as three-dimensional spatial coordinate data, while the corresponding normal vector, curvature and reflectance intensity and other additional information are retained. It can not only be used for real-time display of the three-dimensional morphology of the material surface, but also can be combined with the pose information of the ship unloader to realize accurate estimation and dynamic updating of the remaining amount of the material, to ensure high-precision control and operation efficiency optimization of the unloading operation process.

The attitude acquisition unit can include an inertial measurement unit, an electronic compass, a gyroscope and an accelerometer, etc., and high-precision calculation of the attitude angle is realized by fusing multiple sensor data, such as using Kalman filtering algorithm or complementary filtering algorithm. The pitch angle is used to describe the forward and backward inclination degree of the screw ship unloader feeding module relative to the horizontal plane; the yaw angle is used to describe the rotation direction and amplitude of the screw ship unloader feeding module around the vertical axis; and the roll angle is used to describe the left and right inclination state of the screw ship unloader feeding module. In the embodiment, the position sensor adopts a high-precision photoelectric encoder with a resolution of 0.01°, which is used to monitor the position of the screw ship unloader feeding module in the three-dimensional space in real time; and the attitude sensor adopts a combination of a three-axis gyroscope and an accelerometer, which can measure and compensate the pitch angle and the horizontal rotation angle of the device in real time, and the precision is ±0.1°.
