The automatic braking method comprises the following steps:
s1, the controller 150 acquires the first image and the second image captured by the camera 110.
Wherein the first image and the second image have partially overlapping viewing ranges and both include the target pedestrian.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first image may be an image captured by a first camera in the camera device 110, the second image may be an image captured by a second camera in the camera device 110, the first image and the second image are captured at the same time point, and the first image and the second image have partially overlapped viewing ranges, and both the first image and the second image include the target pedestrian. The target pedestrian is a pedestrian within the range of view in which the first image and the second image overlap. The step of acquiring, by the controller 150, the first image and the second image acquired by the camera device 110 may be understood as acquiring, by the controller 150, the first image acquired by the first camera and the second image acquired by the second camera at the same time.
S2, the controller 150 determines the relative distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift truck according to the first image and the second image.
In an embodiment of the invention, the human-vehicle relative distance may be the distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift. The step of determining the relative distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift truck by the controller 150 according to the first image and the second image can be understood as that the controller 150 and the camera device 110 form a binocular distance measuring device, the controller 150 receives the first image and the second image sent by the camera device 110, carries out human body contour detection on the first image and the second image, detects out the common target pedestrian in the first image and the second image, and calculates the relative distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift truck by using a binocular distance measuring principle.
Referring to fig. 3, in order to further improve the accuracy of the relative distance between the human and the vehicle, step S2 may include sub-steps S21 to S24:
s21, the controller 150 measures a first relative distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift according to the parallax between the first image and the second image.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first relative distance may be a distance between the target pedestrian and the target forklift, which is obtained by a binocular ranging principle. And detecting the human body contour of the first image and the second image, detecting a target pedestrian shared by the first image and the second image, wherein the first image and the second image are obtained by shooting from different visual angles, the target pedestrian has parallax in the first image and the second image, and the first relative distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift truck can be obtained according to the parallax of the target pedestrian in the first image and the second image.
The binocular ranging principle comprises 4 steps of ① camera calibration, ② binocular correction, ③ binocular matching and ④ distance calculation.
S22, the controller 150 obtains the second relative distance of the forklift collected by the distance measuring module 130.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the second relative distance may be a distance between the forklift and the reflector, which is acquired by the ranging acquisition module. The second relative distance may be one or more, and the specific number is determined by the number of the reflectors in the field, which is the number of the second relative distances. The step of acquiring, by the controller 150, the second relative distance of the forklift collected by the speed measurement module 140 may be understood as that the controller 150 receives the second relative distance sent by the speed measurement module 140.
Since the distance measuring module 130 collects the second relative distances between all the reflectors on the spot, including the target pedestrian, other pedestrians, and obstacles, and the forklift, it is necessary to determine the second relative distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift. Through sub-steps S23-S24, a second relative distance characterizing the target pedestrian and the forklift may be determined.
S23, the controller 150 calculates a difference relative distance between the first relative distance and the second relative distance.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the difference relative distance may be a difference between the first relative distance and the second relative distance, that is, the difference relative distance is equal to the first relative distance to the second relative distance. As an embodiment, the difference relative distance may be an absolute value of a difference between the first relative distance and the second relative distance, that is, the difference relative distance | the first relative distance — the second relative distance |. For example, when the first relative distance is 5.3 and the second relative distance is 5.284, the difference relative distance is 5.3 to 5.284. The step of calculating the difference relative distance between the first relative distance and the second relative distance by the controller 150 may be understood as subtracting all the second relative distances from the first relative distance to obtain the difference relative distance corresponding to each second relative distance.
And S24, the controller 150 compares the difference relative distance with a preset difference threshold value, and when the difference relative distance is smaller than the preset difference threshold value, the second relative distance is used as the relative distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset difference threshold may be a minimum difference that is customized by a user to distinguish whether the second relative distance is a human-vehicle relative distance. For example, 0.1. The controller 150 compares the difference relative information with a preset difference threshold, and when the difference relative distance is smaller than the preset difference threshold, the second relative distance corresponding to the difference relative distance can be used as the relative distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift. And further, when the plurality of difference relative distances are smaller than a preset difference threshold value, taking a second relative distance corresponding to the minimum difference relative distance as the human-vehicle relative distance.
S3, the controller 150 obtains the steering angle of the forklift collected by the turning angle detection module 120.
In the embodiment of the invention, the steering angle may be an angle at which the driver operates the steering wheel to rotate the wheels of the forklift. The step of acquiring, by the controller 150, the steering angle of the forklift collected by the corner detection module 120 may be understood as acquiring, by the controller 150, the steering angle sent by the corner detection module 120.
And S4, the controller 150 controls the brake driver 160 to brake the forklift according to the relative distance between the person and the vehicle and the steering angle.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the controller 150 controls the brake actuator 160 to brake the forklift according to the relative distance between the human and the vehicle and the steering angle, which can be understood as two cases, the first case is that the steering angle is a first angle, and the second case is that the steering angle is a second angle. The following are set forth separately:
referring to fig. 4, when the steering angle is the first angle, the first angle represents the corresponding angle when the forklift is not steered, for example, 0 °, 0.1 °, and the like. Step S4 may include sub-steps S41-S42:
s41, the controller 150 compares the human-vehicle relative distance with a preset safe distance.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset safe distance may be a minimum distance that is customized to determine the safety of the pedestrian. For example 10 m. The step of comparing the relative distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle with the preset safe distance by the controller 150 may be understood as comparing the relative distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle obtained in the step S2 with the preset safe distance, and when the relative distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle is smaller than the preset safe distance, it is determined that the target pedestrian is too close to the forklift, and there is an unsafe hidden danger.
And S42, when the relative distance between the person and the vehicle is smaller than the preset safe distance, the controller 150 controls the brake driver 160 to brake the forklift.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the relative distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle is less than the preset safety distance, the target pedestrian is considered to be too close to the forklift, so that potential safety hazards exist, and the brake controller 150 needs to be controlled to brake the forklift, so as to ensure the personal safety of the target pedestrian.
Since the emergency braking may damage the forklift, the braking rate of the brake controller 150 is controlled on the premise of ensuring the personal safety of the target pedestrian for less damage of the forklift.
Referring to fig. 5, the sub-step S42 may specifically include sub-steps S421 to S423:
s421, the controller 150 obtains the speed of the forklift collected by the speed measuring module 140.
In the embodiment of the invention, the vehicle speed may be a speed of the forklift truck at the time of the reverse operation. The step of acquiring, by the controller 150, the vehicle speed of the forklift truck acquired by the speed measurement module 140 may be understood as acquiring, by the controller 150, the vehicle speed sent by the speed measurement module 140.
And S422, the controller 150 calculates the moving time of the forklift according to the relative distance between the person and the vehicle speed.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the moving time may be a time required for predicting that the forklift is driven according to the current vehicle speed and reaches the position of the target pedestrian, and the moving time may be a ratio of the relative distance between the human and the vehicle speed, that is, the moving time is the relative distance between the human and the vehicle/the vehicle speed. Further, in order to predict the moving time more accurately, the walking speed of the target pedestrian (hereinafter, referred to as "pedestrian speed") may be taken into consideration, and the pedestrian speed of the target pedestrian may be preset or detected on site, which is not limited herein. Then the movement time is the human-vehicle relative distance/(vehicle speed + human speed).
And S423, the controller 150 obtains the braking rate corresponding to the moving time according to the moving time and the corresponding relation between the moving time and the braking rate, and controls the brake driver 160 to brake the forklift according to the braking rate.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the automatic braking system 100 stores a correspondence relationship between a movement time and a braking rate in advance, and one movement time corresponds to one braking rate. It should be noted that the larger the movement time, the lower the braking rate, and the more time it takes from the start of the braking of the forklift to the complete stop; the smaller the travel time, the higher the braking rate and the less time it takes from the start of the truck braking to the complete stop. And the controller 150 obtains the braking rate corresponding to the moving time according to the moving time and the corresponding relationship between the moving time and the braking rate, and controls the brake driver 160 to brake the forklift according to the braking rate, which can be understood as obtaining the braking rate corresponding to the moving time according to the moving time and the corresponding relationship stored in advance, and controlling the brake driver 160 to brake the forklift according to the braking rate.
Referring to fig. 6, when the steering angle is a second angle, the second angle represents a corresponding angle of the forklift during steering, such as 45 °, 90 °, 180 °, and the like. Step S4 may also include sub-steps S43-S45:
s43, the controller 150 predicts the driving area of the forklift according to the second angle.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the driving area may be an area through which the forklift passes during the steering action of the forklift according to the current steering angle. For example, when the second angle is 90 °, the predicted travel region of the forklift may be as shown in fig. 7.
S44, the controller 150 determines whether the target pedestrian is in the driving area according to the relative distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle.
And S45, the controller 150 compares the relative distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle with the preset safe distance when the target pedestrian is in the driving area, and controls the brake driver 160 to brake the forklift when the relative distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle is smaller than the preset safe distance.
Referring to fig. 8, when the distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift is smaller than the preset safety distance and the target pedestrian is in the driving area (the intersection area in the drawing), it is considered that the target pedestrian cannot be avoided after the forklift steers, and the target pedestrian is too close to the forklift, so that potential safety hazards exist, and the brake controller 150 needs to be controlled to brake the forklift to ensure the personal safety of the target pedestrian. When the distance between the target pedestrian and the forklift is smaller than the preset safe distance, but the target pedestrian is not in the driving area, the target pedestrian can be avoided after the forklift turns, the potential safety hazard does not exist, and the brake driver 160 does not need to be controlled to brake the forklift.
In summary, the embodiment of the invention provides an automatic braking method and an automatic braking system, in which a pedestrian-vehicle relative distance between a target pedestrian and a forklift is determined through a first image and a second image acquired by a camera device, and a brake driver is controlled to brake the forklift according to the pedestrian-vehicle relative distance and a steering angle of the forklift acquired by a corner detection module. The condition at the rear of the forklift can be detected in real time, braking action is made when existing people appear in a certain range at the rear, and the problem that in the prior art, when the forklift moves backwards, a driver cannot observe the rear condition in real time and quickly makes braking reaction when pedestrians appear at the rear of the forklift is solved.
