Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a rear cross-traffic warning method, device, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), also known as rear cross traffic warning, is an important component of modern automotive active safety systems. It primarily monitors moving targets such as vehicles and pedestrians in the blind spots to the sides and rear when a vehicle is reversing, and issues a warning to the driver when a collision risk is present. Currently, the mainstream RCTA technology is based on millimeter-wave radar. However, this approach suffers from several drawbacks, including high cost (millimeter-wave radar hardware is expensive, increasing overall vehicle manufacturing costs and hindering its widespread adoption in economy vehicles), limited target recognition capabilities (radar performs poorly in recognizing static targets and struggles to distinguish target types such as vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles), insufficient environmental adaptability (radar signals may be blocked when a vehicle is parked between large vehicles (such as trucks or buses), leading to detection failure), and installation limitations (radar requires specific installation locations and angles, placing high demands on the overall vehicle layout).

Furthermore, the optical imaging-based cameras are not affected by metal objects obstructing radar signals and can still operate in complex scenarios such as between vehicles, solving the problem of insufficient environmental adaptability. Moreover, compared to radar, camera placement is more flexible, typically reusing the installation points and layout of existing vision systems, reducing the complexity of vehicle-wide deployment.

[0019] Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), a crucial component of modern automotive active safety systems, primarily monitors moving targets such as vehicles and pedestrians in the blind spots to the sides and rear when the vehicle is reversing, and issues a warning to the driver when a collision risk is present. Currently, the mainstream RCTA technology is based on millimeter-wave radar. However, this approach has the following significant drawbacks: 1. High cost: Millimeter-wave radar hardware is expensive, which increases the overall vehicle manufacturing cost and makes it difficult to popularize in economy vehicles.

[0020] 2. Limited target recognition capability: Radar has poor recognition performance for static targets and has difficulty distinguishing target types (such as vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles).

[0021] 3. Insufficient environmental adaptability: When a vehicle is parked between large vehicles (such as trucks or buses), the radar signal may be blocked, causing detection failure.

[0022] 4. Installation limitations: Radar requires specific installation positions and angles, which places high demands on the overall vehicle layout.

[0023] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a rear cross-traffic warning method, device, electronic device, and storage medium, which are described below through embodiments.

[0024] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a method for warning of rear-crossing traffic disclosed in this application will first be described in detail. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps S101-S106: S101: Synchronously acquires raw images captured by each camera on the vehicle to obtain multiple raw images; the cameras include a left rearview camera, a right rearview camera, and a rearview camera; S102: Perform perspective transformation on each original image to transform each original image into a top-down view image; S103: Perform target detection and semantic segmentation on each image from the top-down view to obtain target information of traffic participants and semantic segmentation information of drivable areas in each image. S104: Based on the calibration parameters of each camera, the target information of traffic participants and the semantic segmentation information of drivable areas in each image are inversely perspective mapped to a unified bird's-eye view coordinate system centered on the vehicle. The same traffic participant mapped to the bird's-eye view coordinate system by different cameras is matched and fused through a data association algorithm. A global ID is assigned to each traffic participant and target tracking is performed to generate the tracking status information of the traffic participants. The semantic segmentation information of the mapped drivable areas is fused to generate a static map of the drivable areas under the bird's-eye view coordinate system. S105: Predict the vehicle's reversing trajectory based on the vehicle's own vehicle status information, and calculate the collision risk parameters between the vehicle and each traffic participant based on the reversing trajectory, the tracking status information of traffic participants in the bird's-eye view coordinate system, and the static map of the drivable area. S106: Determine whether the warning conditions are met based on the collision risk parameters. If the warning conditions are met, generate and send a warning command.

[0025] In step S101, the side and rearview cameras installed on the vehicle (including the left and right rearview cameras) have the following characteristics: 3 megapixels, resolution ≥1920*1536, HFOV 60°, Yaw angle 150° (reference is the ideal plane of the vehicle body), no interference above horizontal, VFOV ≥15°, and the lateral distance between the lower edge of the VFOV and the vehicle wheel ≤2.5m.

[0026] Rearview camera: 3 megapixels, resolution ≥1920*1536, HFOV 60°, horizontal and above interference-free VFOV ≥15°, distance between the lower edge of the VFOV and the rear of the vehicle ≤6m, centered.

[0027] The camera system also includes 360-degree surround view cameras, which are arranged according to the requirements of panoramic vehicle imaging.

[0028] In step S102, lens distortion correction is performed on each original image to obtain a distortion-corrected image; perspective transformation is performed on each distortion-corrected image to transform it into a top-down view image.

[0029] In step S103, the multi-channel images from the top-down perspective are input into the target detection and segmentation model. The target detection and segmentation model performs target detection and semantic segmentation on each channel image from the top-down perspective to obtain the target information of traffic participants and the semantic segmentation information of the drivable area in each channel image.

[0030] In step S104, based on the calibration parameters of each camera, the target information of traffic participants and the semantic segmentation information of drivable areas in each image are inversely perspective mapped to a unified bird's-eye view coordinate system centered on the vehicle. The same traffic participant mapped to the bird's-eye view coordinate system by different cameras is matched and fused using a data association algorithm (Hungarian algorithm). The SORT / DeepSORT algorithm is used to assign a global ID to each traffic participant and perform target tracking to generate the tracking status information of the traffic participants. The semantic segmentation information of the mapped drivable areas is also fused to generate a static map of the drivable areas in the bird's-eye view coordinate system. In step S105, the vehicle status information includes: the vehicle's steering wheel angle, speed, and gear information. The static map of the drivable area is used to exclude traffic participants located outside the road area when calculating collision risk parameters.

[0031] In step S106, the collision risk parameters include: expected collision time and minimum predicted distance.

[0032] When the expected collision time is less than the first time threshold and the minimum predicted distance is less than the first distance threshold, the conditions for a Level 1 warning are met, and a Level 1 warning command is generated and sent. When the expected collision time is less than the second time threshold and the minimum predicted distance is less than the second distance threshold, the conditions for a level 2 warning are met, and a level 2 warning instruction is generated and sent. Among these conditions, the first time threshold is greater than the second time threshold, the first distance threshold is greater than the second distance threshold, and the urgency level of a level 1 warning is lower than that of a level 2 warning.

[0033] In one specific embodiment, the first time threshold is 3 seconds and the first distance threshold is 4 meters; the second time threshold is 1.5 seconds and the second distance threshold is 2 meters.

[0034] When sending the warning command in step S106, the specific steps can be followed: Warning commands are sent to the instrument panel or audio head unit via the vehicle's CAN bus to trigger acoustic and / or optical alarms.

The mapping module 204 is used to inversely perspective map the target information of the traffic participants and the semantic segmentation information of the drivable area in each image to a unified bird's-eye view coordinate system centered on the vehicle, based on the calibration parameters of each camera. The module then matches and fuses the same traffic participants mapped from different cameras to the bird's-eye view coordinate system using a data association algorithm. It assigns a global ID to each traffic participant and performs target tracking, generates tracking status information of the traffic participants, and fuses the semantic segmentation information of the mapped drivable area to generate a static map of the drivable area in the bird's-eye view coordinate system. The calculation module 205 is used to predict the reversing trajectory of the vehicle based on the vehicle's own status information, and to calculate the collision risk parameters between the vehicle and each traffic participant based on the reversing trajectory, the tracking status information of traffic participants in the bird's-eye view coordinate system and the static map of the drivable area.
