Description

Near distance airplane pose measuring method based on parallax method
Technical Field
The method relates to an aircraft pose measuring method, in particular to an aircraft pose measuring method based on a parallax method and combining a two-dimensional image with three-dimensional point cloud.
Background
The parallax method is one of the algorithms commonly used for stereoscopic vision. The parallax method is a method for passively sensing distance by using a computer by simulating the human visual principle. Observing an object from two or more points, acquiring images under different viewing angles, and calculating the offset between pixels according to the matching relation of the pixels between the images by the triangulation principle to acquire the three-dimensional information of the object.
In the process of matching corresponding pixels by the parallax method, errors are easy to occur in matching due to the fact that the parallax searching range is not easy to determine. An inappropriate disparity search range tends to trap the stereo matching algorithm into local minima. Too large or too small a preset disparity search range may result in errors in matching in the disparity method. Taking the maximum disparity as an example, if a given maximum disparity is too large, the mismatch may increase. And consume more computation time and memory space; if the parallax is too small, the correct parallax cannot be calculated. Meanwhile, in many applications, the parallax range of a scene cannot be known in advance, and manual calibration and estimation are needed. This method is not suitable for practical stereoscopic vision systems.
After the three-dimensional point cloud is obtained through the parallax image, the real-time pose settlement of the airplane is not realized by a quick and effective point cloud matching method. Though ICP (iterative closest point method) proposed by Besl and Mckay is continuously improved and supplemented through years of development, and is greatly improved, the ICP is one of the main means for solving the registration problem based on the free form surface, but still needs a large amount of calculation and a plurality of iterative processes, and has no advantage in calculation time.

Detailed Description
The basic idea of the invention is as follows: the initial area of the aircraft is located in two cameras using a detection and tracking method. And acquiring airplane three-dimensional point cloud by combining the primary positioning areas of the two cameras by using a parallax method, and solving the position and the posture of the airplane by combining the image characteristic points, the three-dimensional point cloud information and the airplane morphology characteristics.
The method is further described below in connection with the actual process.
As shown in FIG. 1, the near distance aircraft pose measurement method based on the parallax method mainly comprises the following steps:
step 11: and carrying out internal and external reference calibration and image correction on the two camera systems.
Here, each camera of the binocular system is first calibrated, i.e., to solve for the intrinsic parameters of the camera, and the two camera vision systems are calibrated, i.e., to solve for the extrinsic parameters between the two cameras, the specific solving method is described in detail in Zhang friend's article "A flex New technology for camera calibration [ R ]. Microsoft Corporation, NSR-TR-98-71,1998".
After the internal and external parameters of the two camera systems are obtained, images acquired by the left camera and the right camera are corrected, and the image deformation and the like caused by camera distortion are corrected.
Step 12: and positioning the initial area of the airplane in the images obtained by the two cameras through a detection algorithm and a tracking algorithm detection and tracking algorithm. The region is the input content of the subsequent calculation, and the calculation region is reduced for the subsequent algorithm, so that the calculation speed of the algorithm is improved.
Here, three thousand (the number may be actually adjusted) two-dimensional images containing only the airplane area are first acquired as positive samples, and six thousand (the number may be actually adjusted) two-dimensional images containing no airplane area are acquired as negative samples. And screening out characteristic information capable of distinguishing the airplane by analyzing the rectangular characteristics in the positive and negative samples. The feature information is combined in a cascading mode, so that the area where the airplane is located can be accurately identified in the image through the cascading rectangular features.
And substituting the aircraft area into a kernel correlation filtering tracking algorithm, tracking the aircraft area in two-dimensional images shot by a left camera and a right camera, and obtaining an aircraft initial positioning area in the two-dimensional images of the two cameras by combining the aircraft area and corresponding algorithm weights respectively obtained by a detection algorithm and a tracking algorithm.
Step 13: and (3) carrying out stereo matching on the positioned airplane areas in the images acquired by the left camera and the right camera through an SGBM stereo matching algorithm to acquire a disparity map, and solving the three-dimensional point cloud of the initial positioning area of the airplane by combining the internal and external parameters of the system calibrated in the step 11.
Here, since the image is over-corrected, matching is constrained to be performed in the corresponding row by the limit constraint, reducing the possibility of a false match. And calculating the pixel position of the corresponding row in the other image and the value with the minimum cost according to the constraint relation of the values of each pixel and the surrounding pixels, and solving the parallax of the point according to the corresponding pixel point pair. And traversing and solving the whole area to obtain an initial local disparity map of the image of the area. Filtering the initial local disparity map, and screening out mismatching points to obtain a disparity map;
the stereo matching algorithm can be mainly divided into the following four steps:
(1) pretreatment:
using a horizontal Sobel operator to perform the following processing on each point of the aircraft initial positioning area in the two-dimensional image:
Sobel(x,y)=2[P(x+1,y)-P(x-1,y)]+P(x+1,y-1)-P(x-1,y-1)+P(x+1,y+1)-P(x-1,y+1) (1)
wherein Sobel (x, y) represents the horizontal Sobel operator for the point. P (x, y) represents the pixel value of the currently calculated pixel point (x, y).
And (3) forming a new two-dimensional image area by using a function to calculate each pixel point of the processing area through a mapping function.
The mapping function is as follows:
Figure BDA0001650511150000051
wherein, preFilterCap is a constant parameter, generally 63. P is the pixel value of the current calculation point in the initial positioning area of the airplane in the two-dimensional image, PNRepresenting the pixel value corresponding to P on the two-dimensional image area after calculation by the mapping function.
The preprocessing is actually to obtain gradient information of the initially located region of the aircraft in the two-dimensional image. And storing a new two-dimensional image area formed after the airplane initial positioning area is preprocessed for cost calculation.
(2) And (3) cost calculation:
the cost of each pixel is calculated using the sum of absolute errors algorithm.
(3) Global optimization:
and (4) performing global optimization by adopting a dynamic programming mode, namely solving a minimum cost path. For each point p in the area, 8 paths are set at intervals of 45 ° around p, and the minimum cost path L is calculated from the 8 pathsr(p,d)。

Wherein, P1,P2For dynamic parameter planning, according to the actual use ringAdjusting the environment; l isr(p, d) represents the minimum cost path along the current direction (i.e. from left to right) when the disparity of the current calculation pixel point p takes the value of d.
Figure BDA0001650511150000062
Indicating that along the current direction (i.e., from left to right), the disparity value of the current calculation pixel point p is smaller than the minimum value of the minimum cost path at k.
(4) And (3) post-treatment:
after matching of each pixel point in the aircraft initial positioning area in the two-dimensional image acquired by the left camera is completed, each pixel point in the aircraft initial positioning area in the two-dimensional image acquired by the right camera is used for matching with the pixel point in the aircraft initial positioning area in the two-dimensional image acquired by the left camera. And if the parallax of the pixel point obtained by two matching is different, the pixel point is regarded as invalid matching.
Through the process, the disparity map of the aircraft initial positioning area in the two-dimensional image can be calculated.
According to the stereo vision model and the camera pinhole imaging principle, the schematic diagram of the principle of the parallax method can be seen in detail, namely as shown in fig. 2: p in FIG. 2 is a point in space, PlAnd PrIs the imaging point of point P on the left and right camera image planes, f is the focal length, OlAnd OrIs the optical center of the left and right cameras. O islAnd OrThe distance between them is the binocular distance, P to OlAnd OrThe distance of the connecting line is the actual distance. The optical axes of the left and right cameras are parallel. x is the number ofrAnd xlIs the distance of the two imaging points from the left edge of the image on the left and right camera image planes.
If the two cameras are calibrated, the polar lines are parallel, and the two optical axis directions are also parallel. The relationship between parallax and object depth is as follows:

wherein x isrAnd xlTwo imaging points are arranged on the left and the rightThe distance from the left edge of the image on the image surface of the camera, b is the optical center O of the left camera and the right cameralAnd OrThe distance of the connecting line.

It can be deduced that:

Through the formula and the disparity map of the airplane initial positioning area in the solved two-dimensional image, the three-dimensional point cloud in the airplane initial positioning area in the two-dimensional image can be obtained.
Step 14: and screening two characteristic point sets in the two-dimensional image initial positioning area, and combining three-dimensional point cloud data to obtain two corresponding three-dimensional point sets.
According to the overall appearance of the airplane, the method can be simplified into an object consisting of two planes, namely a plane consisting of the head and the tail of the airplane and a plane consisting of the wings of the airplane. Therefore, the measured attitude of the airplane can be obtained by solving the equations of the plane where the head and the tail of the airplane are located and the plane of the wings of the airplane.
In an initial positioning area of the two-dimensional image, an edge extraction algorithm is used for obtaining the edge features inside the area. The method comprises the steps of utilizing edge features to combine with three-dimensional point cloud to obtain airplane outline information (see fig. 3, fig. 3 is an airplane schematic diagram, two shadow planes in the diagram are respectively a plane formed by an airplane head and an empennage and an airplane wing plane, a black edge is the airplane outline information, a middle line is airplane skeleton information, and a point highlighted on the skeleton information is an extracted airplane key feature point), so that an airplane silhouette area is formed. And extracting a framework in the silhouette area of the airplane by adopting a framework extraction algorithm, and performing topology reconstruction on the framework by using a binary tree structure according to the characteristics of the framework. And establishing a skeleton branch reduction method adapting to the characteristics of the target skeleton of the airplane to finish the extraction of the target main skeleton (shown in figure 3).
The main framework of the airplane can be combined with the shape characteristics of the airplane to position the head, the tail wing and the two wings of the airplane in the image. And combining the extracted edge features to extract key points on the airplane head, the empennage and two wings from the image, defining the key points as key feature points, and labeling and classifying the key feature points. The feature points on the head and the empennage form a key feature point set A, and the feature points on the two wings form a key feature point set B.
According to the relation between the two-dimensional image and the disparity map, three-dimensional points corresponding to each two-dimensional point in the key feature point set can be extracted from the three-dimensional point cloud to form two corresponding three-dimensional feature point sets.
Step 15: the plane equations for each three-dimensional point set obtained in step 14 are solved using the RANSAC method.
In the invention, the RANSAC method is used for iterating the three-dimensional point sets A and B extracted in the step 14 for a fixed number of times respectively to obtain a more ideal model (namely a plane equation) which is used as a plane equation where the point sets are located, namely, a plane formed by the head and the empennage of the airplane and a plane of the wings of the airplane are obtained.
RANSAC is an abbreviation for "RANdom SAmple Consensus". It can iteratively estimate the parameters of the mathematical model from a set of observed data sets comprising "outliers".
The input to the RANSAC algorithm is a set of observations (three-dimensional point sets a and B solved in step 14), and the plane is arrived at by iteratively selecting a set of random subsets of the data. The selected subset is assumed to be an in-office point and verified by the following method:
(1) and solving a plane model by using the local interior points, namely all plane model parameters can be calculated from the local interior points.
(2) And (3) testing data except the local point in the observation data by using the plane model obtained in the step (1), namely calculating the distance between the three-dimensional point except the local point and the plane equation, and if the calculated distance is less than a set threshold value delta, considering the calculated distance as the local point.
(3) If 50% of the points in the input observations (three-dimensional point sets A and B solved in step 14) are classified as local points, then the calculated planar model is considered reasonable enough.
(4) Then, all the obtained local inner points are used for recalculating the plane model.
(5) Finally, the planar model is evaluated by estimating the error rate of the local interior point and the model.
The above process is repeated a fixed number of times, and the resulting planar model is either discarded because there are too few local points or selected because it is better than the existing planar model. And finally, two plane equations of a plane formed by the head and the tail of the airplane and a plane of the wing of the airplane are solved respectively.
Step 16: and filtering background and noise points in the three-dimensional point cloud through a plane equation, and solving the spatial pose of the airplane by combining the morphological characteristics of the airplane.
The three-dimensional attitude of an aircraft is actually the attitude angle of the aircraft in the air relative to a ground measurement coordinate system. Therefore, three conversion processes from the local coordinate system of the aircraft (the coordinate system fixed to the aircraft itself) to the camera coordinate system and then to the ground survey coordinate system are required. And the coordinates and the angles of the camera coordinate system relative to the ground measurement coordinate system can be solved by photoelectric longitude and latitude and other modes. Therefore, the absolute attitude of the aircraft can be solved as long as the attitude of the aircraft in the camera coordinate system (i.e. the local coordinate system of the aircraft) in the sequence images is determined.
Using the equations of the plane formed by the nose and the tail of the airplane and the plane of the wings of the airplane obtained in step 15, respectively obtaining points near the two planes, namely, the point sets in the plane, from the three-dimensional point cloud obtained in step 13. Meanwhile, by combining the relationship that the two planes are perpendicular to each other, noise points are filtered, and a more accurate plane equation is further obtained through iteration. And then, through two newly solved plane equations, the actual shape and size of the airplane and the three-dimensional point cloud data, the intersection line of the two planes is the straight line where the airplane body is located. The center position of the airplane body can be positioned according to the position of the airplane head and the actual size of the airplane, and the center position is used as the origin of a local coordinate system of the airplane, and the direction of two wings (namely the direction of a connecting line from a left wing to a right wing) is defined as an X axis. The direction in which the nose of the aircraft is pointed (i.e., the direction of the line connecting the tail to the nose, or the longitudinal axis of the fuselage) is the Y-axis. The normal to the plane of the aircraft fuselage (or the plane in which the cabin floor lies), i.e. the vertical direction, is the Z-axis. Therefore, the local coordinate system of the airplane can be determined through the origin and other two plane equations, and the attitude of the airplane under the camera coordinate system is solved.

Wherein A is1,B1,C1,D1,A2,B2,C2,D2The two plane equation parameters solved for step 15. The straight line of the fuselage can be known through the equation, and the central point of the airplane is also on the straight line.
And (3) solving the central point (mass center) of the airplane by combining the spatial linear equation (formula 6) and the airplane main skeleton information obtained in the step 14 with the actual size of the airplane. Thus, an aircraft local coordinate system O is definedpxpypzpThe central point (mass center) of the airplane is used as the origin O of the local coordinate system of the airplanepDefining the direction of the wing (pointing to the right wing) as OpxpAxis, nose direction OpypAxis, perpendicular to the plane, OpzpThe axis, which varies with the change in attitude of the aircraft, is equivalent to finding the coordinate system, which requires the attitude of the aircraft. The initial state of the airplane is assumed to be that the local coordinate system of the airplane coincides with the coordinate system of the camera, and the initial attitude is 0 degree at the moment.
In the inertial system, the aircraft attitude is described mainly by using three euler angles of pitch, yaw and roll. The pitch rotates about the X axis, also called pitch angle θ. yaw is rotation about the Z-axis, also called yaw

The roll is rotated about the Y-axis, also called the roll angle γ. The euler angle is used for describing the rotation of the object, and the rotation sequence is not only required to be angular, but also required to be in a general rotation sequence of yaw, pitch and roll. Therefore, the reaction is carried out on the defined coordinate axes, namely, the rotation is carried out around the Z axis, then the rotation is carried out around the X axis, and finally the rotation is carried out around the Y axis.
The transformation of the coordinate system is generally expressed by a directional cosine matrix, which is expressed as:

wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0001650511150000093
is the camera coordinate system OcxcyczcTo the local coordinate system O of the aircraftpxpypzpThe transfer matrix of (2). r ispIs a three-dimensional coordinate in the local coordinate system of the airplane, rcIs a three-dimensional coordinate in a camera coordinate system.
The Euler angle definition and the cosine matrix definition show that the direction cosine matrix can be popularized to the single rotation of three axes. From the camera coordinate system OcxcyczcRotation to intermediate transformation of coordinate system O1x1y1z1(the camera coordinate system is surrounded by OczcConversion seat obtained after shaft rotationStandard system) and then rotated to the intermediate transformation coordinate system O2x2y2z2(intermediate transformation of the coordinate System-around the Camera coordinate System OcxcThe transformed coordinate system obtained after the rotation of the shaft) and finally rotated to the local coordinate system O of the airplanepxpypzpIn order of a single rotation:
