Detailed Description
Hereinafter, example embodiments according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments of the present application, and that the present application is not limited by the example embodiments described herein.
Summary of the application
The existing distance measuring modes are generally divided into monocular distance measuring, binocular distance measuring, trinocular distance measuring and the like, and are divided according to the number of image acquisition devices. For example, monocular ranging is where a single image acquisition device (in a posterior movable apparatus) measures the distance between the posterior movable apparatus and a preceding movable apparatus (also referred to herein as a "target object").
In monocular distance measurement, however, the accuracy of distance measurement directly affects driving safety and driving efficiency. If the distance measurement is inaccurate, the driving safety is seriously influenced.
In view of the above problems, the present application aims to research how to improve the accuracy of ranging in monocular ranging, and based on this purpose, the present application researches a method for measuring the distance of a target object, and obtains a first width of the target object in an image according to the image acquired by an image acquisition device; then obtaining the relevant state parameters of the target object at the previous moment; and then obtaining the first relative distance according to the relevant state parameter of the target object at the previous moment, wherein the relevant state parameter can truly reflect the state of the target object, so that the real distance between the two movable devices can be obtained. In addition, a second width of the target object in the image is obtained according to the first relative distance. Then, a relative difference value is obtained according to the first width and the second width, and the first relative distance is updated to be the second relative distance according to the relative difference value. Therefore, the width of the target object is obtained in different modes, and the relative distance between the two mobile devices is constrained by using the comparison result of the widths, so that the relative distance is more accurate, and the accuracy of distance measurement is realized.
Exemplary method
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for measuring a distance to a target object according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment can be applied to mobile equipment. The mobile equipment of this embodiment, including unmanned vehicle, unmanned aerial vehicle, arm and mobile robot etc. can the autonomous movement's equipment.
The present embodiment is applied in monocular distance measurement, and during forward and backward relative driving of two movable devices, the distance between the two movable devices (target object) and the preceding movable device is measured by the following movable device. It is noted that the rear movable apparatus takes an image with the image pickup device to perform ranging, and thus the distance between the image pickup device and the target object is equivalent to the distance between the rear movable apparatus and the target object.
A ranging method of a target object described in one or more embodiments of the present application is shown in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:
step 101, obtaining a first width of a target object in an image according to the image obtained by an image acquisition device.
The image capturing device of this embodiment may be a camera, an infrared camera, or other devices, and of course, the specific type is not limited, and any device having an image capturing function should be included in the scope of this embodiment.
The image obtained in this example contains the following information: the width of the target object in the image (which may be considered as a virtual width), the morphology of the target object (shape, state, appearance, etc.). In addition, the image acquisition device has a focal length, which is set in advance.
And the first width of the target object in the image refers to the virtual width of the target object in the image. After the image is shot, the image contains the target object, so that the virtual width of the target object in the image can be obtained by identifying the image. Taking an unmanned vehicle as an example, referring to fig. 2, the image of the rear end of the front vehicle is obtained by shooting the rear vehicle, and the virtual vehicle width of the front vehicle in the image can be obtained by recognizing the image. It is to be noted that the virtual vehicle width of the preceding vehicle in the image can be obtained from the image even under extreme conditions (e.g., the preceding vehicle turns, the preceding vehicle travels straight on a lane).
And 102, acquiring relevant state parameters of the target object at the previous moment.
In particular, the relevant state parameter can reflect the actual state of the target object as it appears during driving. Since the relevant state parameters presented by the target object at each moment in the driving process may be different, the relevant state parameters of the target object at each moment in time include: a correlated distance parameter, a correlated velocity parameter, a process noise. Further, the process noise includes: velocity noise and distance noise. Furthermore, the term "relevant state parameter at the previous time" in this embodiment refers to the relevant state parameter of the target object at the previous time based on the current time. When the target object runs to the current time, the relevant state parameters of the target object at the previous time are already presented, so that the relevant state parameters can be obtained through a specific implementation mode, and detailed description is given later, and is not repeated herein.
Wherein, the related speed parameter refers to the driving speed of the target object, and the related speed parameter at each moment is related to the related state parameter at the previous moment. The correlation velocity at a previous time may affect the correlation velocity at a later time. Taking the current time as an example, the relevant speed parameter at the current time is related to the relevant speed parameter at the previous time, the speed noise at the current time, and the like.
The relevant distance parameter refers to the distance between the image acquisition device and the target object, and the relevant distance parameter at each moment is related to the relevant state parameter at the previous moment. Taking the current time as an example, the relevant distance parameter of the current time is related to the relevant distance parameter of the previous time, the relevant speed parameter of the previous time, the time difference between the previous time and the current time, the distance noise and the like.
The velocity noise at each time is used to affect the velocity at each time. The distance noise at each time instant is used to influence the distance at each time instant, both of which are adjustable parameters.
Further, during the driving process of the target object, the relevant state parameters presented at each moment may be different, and the relevant state parameters of the target object at the previous moment may affect the relevant state parameters of the target object at the current moment. Therefore, the related state parameter at the previous time is required to be obtained as the basic parameter for obtaining the first relative distance. The specific implementation process will be described later, and will not be described herein again.
Step 103, obtaining a first relative distance according to the relevant state parameter of the target object at the previous moment.
Specifically, the first relative distance is a distance between the image acquisition device and the target object at the present time.
The obtained related state parameters can reflect the actual state of the target object in the driving process, so that the first relative distance obtained by the related state parameters can truly and accurately reflect the relative distance between the image acquisition device and the target object.
And 104, acquiring a second width of the target object according to the first relative distance.
Wherein the second width is used for characterizing the width of the target object in the image and is obtained based on the first relative distance. The first width is derived from the image to identify the target object. The second width is mapped into the image according to the real state parameter of the target object. The two widths are of different origin.
And 105, obtaining a relative difference value according to the first width and the second width. Comparing the two, the relative difference can be obtained. If the relative difference is small (e.g., smaller than a predetermined threshold), it indicates that both widths are relatively accurate. If the relative difference is large (e.g., above a predetermined threshold), it reflects a deviation in the measured first relative distance, and further adjustment is required.
And 106, updating the first relative distance to the second relative distance according to the relative difference.
Wherein, the adjustment mode is different according to the difference of the relative difference. The embodiment adopts the relative difference value as the adjustment standard, and can further optimize the relative distance with the target object.
Through the analysis, the embodiment of the invention determines the first width of the target object according to the image acquired by the image acquisition device; then, acquiring relevant state parameters of the target object at the previous moment; and obtaining the first relative distance according to the relevant state parameters, wherein the distance between the image acquisition device at the current moment and the target object can be obtained because the relevant state parameters can truly reflect the actual state of the target object in the driving process. In addition, a second width of the target object in the image is obtained according to the first relative distance. Then, a relative difference value is obtained according to the first width and the second width, and the first relative distance is adjusted to be the second relative distance according to the relative difference value. Therefore, the width of the target object is obtained in different modes, the relative distance between the two movable devices is restricted and adjusted by using the comparison result of the width, the relative distance between the two movable devices is more accurate, the distance measurement accuracy can be improved, and the driving safety is guaranteed.
On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, as an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, in the process of step 102, a relevant distance parameter of the target object at a previous time, a relevant speed parameter at a previous time, and a noise error at a previous time are obtained.
This is done because during driving, the relevant state parameter of the target object at the previous moment in time influences the relevant state parameter at the current moment in time. Taking an unmanned vehicle as an example, under the condition that the driving condition of the rear vehicle is not changed, if the front vehicle decelerates to drive at a time before, the distance between the two vehicles at the current time is reduced. The actual influence of the related state parameter at the previous moment is considered, the first relative distance at the current moment is obtained by taking the actual influence as a basis, and the accuracy of the first relative distance can be improved.
On the basis of obtaining the relevant state parameter, as an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, in the process of step 103, the following operations are implemented: and obtaining a first relative distance according to the relevant distance parameter at the previous moment and the relevant speed parameter at the previous moment.
More specifically, with reference to fig. 3, the above implementation includes the following specific operation steps:
step 301, obtaining a time difference between a current time and a previous time.
The time difference between the previous time and the current time may be in units of "milliseconds", and the time difference may be any value, for example, 2ms, 5ms, and the like.
And step 302, obtaining the relative movement distance of the current moment according to the time difference and the related speed parameter of the previous moment.
The process noise can be divided into: distance noise and velocity noise. The distance noise at each moment can be used for regulating and controlling the distance precision at each moment, and the speed noise at each moment can be used for regulating and controlling the speed precision at each moment.
In addition, the relevant state parameters at each moment can influence the relevant state parameters at the moment immediately after the moment. Thus before calculatingIn the process of the relevant speed parameter at the time, the speed noise at the previous time and the relevant speed parameter at the time immediately before the previous time need to be referred to. Specifically, the correlated velocity parameter immediately before the previous time and the velocity noise at the previous time may be summed to obtain the correlated velocity parameter at the previous time. For ease of understanding, formula V may be utilizedk-1=Vk-2+Wvk-1And (6) obtaining. Wherein k-1 represents the previous time, Vk-1Indicating the relevant speed parameter, W, at the previous momentvk-1Represents the velocity noise at the previous time, k-2 represents the time immediately before the previous time (also referred to as the previous time of the previous time), Vk-2Representing the relevant speed parameter at the instant immediately preceding the previous instant.
In the implementation process of obtaining the relative movement distance at the current moment according to the time difference and the related speed parameter at the previous moment, the product of the time difference and the related speed parameter at the previous moment can be used as the relative movement distance at the current moment. In accordance with the above example, the relative movement distance at the current time is Vk-1Δ t, wherein Δ t represents a time difference between the current time and the previous time.
In the above operation, the relative movement distance is obtained by combining the relevant state parameters at the previous time (the relevant speed parameter, the time difference, and the like at the previous time), so that the influence of the change of the relevant state parameters at the previous time on the relative movement distance can be comprehensively considered, and the accuracy of the relative movement distance at the current time can be improved.
Step 303, obtaining a first relative distance based on the relative distance parameter at the previous time, the relative movement distance at the current time, and the distance noise at the current time.
Specifically, the relative distance parameter at the previous time is used for representing the distance between the target object image acquisition devices. The relative movement distance of the current moment at the previous moment is used for representing the movement distance of the target object moving relative to the image acquisition device in the time difference, so that the first relative distance can be obtained by summing the relative distance parameter of the previous moment, the relative movement distance of the current moment and the distance noise of the current moment.
Further, the distance noise at the current time is obtained by: obtaining a related speed parameter at the previous moment; and obtaining the distance noise at the current moment according to the related speed parameter, the time difference and the scale coefficient at the previous moment. Specifically, the time difference refers to a difference between the previous time and the current time, and the scale factor is constant. If the symbol is taken as an example, Wsk1=Vk-1Δ t s. Wherein, Wsk1Representing the distance noise, V, at the current timek-1The relevant speed parameter at the previous moment is shown, Δ t represents the time difference between the current moment and the previous moment, and s is a scale coefficient.
For ease of understanding, in conjunction with the formula notation given above, the present embodiment obtains the first relative distance specifically as follows: sk=Sk-1+Vk-1*Δt+Wsk1Where k denotes the current time, SkA first relative distance, S, representing the current timek-1Representing the relative distance parameter, V, of the preceding instantk-1Δ t represents the relative movement distance at the current time, Wsk1Representing the distance noise at the current time.
As can be seen, in the above operation, the first relative distance is obtained by combining the relevant state parameter at the previous time (the relative distance parameter, the relative movement distance, and the like at the previous time) and the distance noise at the current time, so that the influence of the change in the relevant state parameter at the previous time on the relative movement distance can be comprehensively considered, and the accuracy of the first relative distance at the current time can be improved.
Through the analysis, the relevant state parameters at the previous moment and various parameters at the current moment are comprehensively considered in the implementation process of the first relative distance, and the parameters can comprehensively reflect the real-time driving state of the target object, so that the first relative distance is obtained by taking the parameters as the basis, the relative position relation between the target object and the image acquisition device can be accurately reflected, the distance measurement accuracy can be realized, and the driving safety is further ensured.
On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, as an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the step 104 specifically includes the following operations: the second width is obtained based on the projection relationship and the first relative distance.
The projection relation comprises a mapping relation between a preset reference surface and the image, and further comprises a reduction scale, wherein the reduction scale is determined according to the focal length and the first relative distance in the image acquisition device. The second width is the calculated width of the target object in the image.
For convenience of explanation, the following description will be given with reference to symbols.
The second width of the image acquisition device in the target object is p, and the first relative distance between the target object and the image acquisition device is SkThe focal length of the image acquisition device is f, and the focal length f is set in advance. The reduction ratio can be calculated according to the distance and the focal length as follows: and (5) S/f. In addition, the actual width D of the target object is obtained. In the process of obtaining the actual width of the target object, inputting the image into a preset model, recognizing the form (shape, state, appearance and the like) of the target object in the image by the preset model, obtaining and determining the type of the target object; and obtaining the actual width of the target object according to the type of the target object.
Wherein the target object in the target image will present its own shape, such as shape, state and appearance. As different target objects may have different appearances, particular shapes, or their own brands LOGO, etc. Therefore, after the image is input into the preset model, the preset model can determine the type of the target object according to the form of the target object.
In the process of determining the type of the target object, a base model (such as a neural network model (CNN), RNN, and the like) is constrained in advance by using the sample morphology and the sample type of a large number of related objects, so as to obtain the preset model. And then, inputting the image into a preset model, processing the form of the target object in the image according to the preset model, and outputting the type of the target object. And the type of target object may determine the actual width of the target object. Taking an unmanned vehicle as an example, the type of the unmanned vehicle refers to an unmanned vehicle type, for example, if the unmanned vehicle in fig. 2 is a type a of a certain brand, the actual vehicle width is fixed.
Then, the initial width D of the target object is reduced according to the reduction ratio S/f, and the following results are obtained:
Figure BDA0002245626150000111
the deformation is as follows:
Figure BDA0002245626150000112
referring to fig. 4, the actual width of the target object may be reduced into the image according to a reduction scale. Specifically, the preset reference surface may be set as the ground.
Referring to fig. 5, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, as an alternative implementation manner of this embodiment, the step 106 specifically includes the following operations:
step 501, judging whether the relative difference is smaller than a preset threshold value.
Specifically, the specific value of the preset threshold needs to be adjusted according to experience and actual conditions, and this embodiment is not limited herein.
After the determination is performed, the obtained determination result may be one of the following two results:
firstly, the relative difference is smaller than a preset threshold value. Indicating that the first width and the second width are relatively close, step 502 may be performed.
The second step is as follows: if the relative difference is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, which indicates that there may be a deviation in the first relative distance, step 503 is executed.
Step 502, if yes, the first relative distance is determined as the second relative distance.
Wherein the second relative distance is used to characterize the distance between the target object and the image acquisition device at the current time. The second relative distance is basic data for performing the subsequent driving operation, so that the requirement on the accuracy of the second relative distance is high. The higher the accuracy of the second relative distance is, the more the driving safety and the driving efficiency can be ensured. If the relative difference is smaller than the preset threshold, it indicates that the accuracy of the obtained first relative distance is higher, so that the first relative distance can be directly determined as the second relative distance.
Therefore, the first relative distance between the two mobile devices is constrained by the relative difference value of the first width and the second width and the preset threshold value so as to obtain the second relative distance, the obtained second relative distance can be used for representing the relative position relation between the target object and the image acquisition device more accurately, the distance measurement accuracy can be realized, and the driving safety is further guaranteed.
And 503, if not, adjusting the distance noise at the current moment according to the relative difference, and obtaining a second relative distance according to the adjusted distance noise at the current moment and the relevant state parameter of the target object.
And the difference value of the third width and the first width obtained by the second relative distance is smaller than a preset threshold value.
Specifically, the relative difference and the distance noise have a mapping relationship. And acquiring corresponding distance noise from the mapping relation according to the obtained relative difference, and then adjusting the distance noise at the current moment according to the distance noise. For example, the distance noise Wsk1 at the current time is adjusted to the adjusted distance noise Wsk 2.
After the adjustment, the second relative distance may be obtained with reference to the manner in which the first relative distance is obtained. Specifically, the second relative distance can be obtained by summing the relative distance parameter at the previous time, the relative movement distance at the current time, and the adjusted distance noise. Following the above equation, the second relative distance Sk' is Sk-1+ Vk Δ t + Wsk 2. Where Sk' represents the second relative distance and represents Wsk1 the distance noise adjusted at the current time.
Further, obtaining the focal length of the image acquisition device; and processing the focal length, the width of the target object in the image and the second relative distance to obtain a third width. The third width, also referred to as the width of the target object in the image. The present embodiment is configured such that the difference between the third width and the first width is smaller than a preset threshold. That is to say, in this embodiment, the difference between the third width and the first width is smaller than the preset threshold as the constraint condition, so as to constrain the second relative distance, and the obtained second relative distance can be more accurate to represent the relative position relationship between the target object and the image acquisition device, so that the accuracy of distance measurement can be realized, and the driving safety can be further ensured.
It should be noted that, in order to obtain the second relative distance more accurately, the difference between the third width and the first width may be smaller than a preset threshold as a constraint condition, and the distance noise is adjusted to perform the above steps multiple times until the constraint condition is satisfied.
