Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
The following describes a vehicle and an object detection method and apparatus of a vehicle-mounted radar according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a target detection method of a vehicle and a vehicle-mounted radar according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the target detection method of the vehicle-mounted radar includes the following steps:
s1: and acquiring the speed of the vehicle and acquiring a speed region of interest according to the speed of the vehicle.
Wherein, the speed region of interest is constructed with reference to the opposite number of the vehicle speed and with the first speed threshold as the float value. Assuming that the vehicle speed is V and the first speed threshold is V1, the speed region of interest V is equal to or greater than (-V-V1) and equal to or less than (-v+v1), i.e., v= [ -V-V1, -v+v1].
It can be appreciated that the target detection method of the vehicle-mounted radar according to the embodiment of the present invention may be used to detect whether an invalid target such as a fence exists in a blind area of a vehicle. In the embodiment of the present invention, the fence is taken as an example for explanation, and other ineffective targets such as flower bed are consistent with the detection principle of the fence, and will not be described in detail.
When the speed of the vehicle is V, the speed of the fence relative to the vehicle is-V, a speed neighborhood of-V, namely [ -V-V1, -v+v1] is set as a speed region of interest V, and optionally, the speed region of interest V can be set as [ -V-5, -v+5], wherein the unit of V is km/h.
Therefore, the speed field of-V is set as the speed interested area V in combination with the speed V of the vehicle, the calculation amount can be effectively reduced, the algorithm efficiency is improved, and the influence caused by the radar speed analysis error can be eliminated.
S2: a distance region of interest is acquired.
The distance region of interest may be preset, and the distance region of interest R may be greater than or equal to a first preset distance and less than or equal to a second preset distance, for example, the distance region of interest R is greater than or equal to 3m and less than or equal to 30m, i.e., r= [3m,30m ].
It can be understood that the 1 st item a0 of fourier transform is called a direct current component, and after the intermediate frequency signal acquired by the vehicle radar is subjected to fourier transform, the direct current component is large and affects the close range spectrum. Therefore, the minimum value of the distance interested region R is set to be 3m, on one hand, the influence of a direct current component can be effectively eliminated without detecting a short-distance region ranging from 0m to 3m, and on the other hand, when vehicles exist in blind areas on two sides of the vehicle, the general distance is larger than 3m, so that targets of the blind areas on two sides can be effectively detected, and the missing report rate is reduced.
Specifically, the radar equation is as follows (1):
wherein p is r Is the receiving power, is proportional to the amplitude of the echo signal received by the vehicle radar, p t Is the transmit power, G is the antenna gain, a is the effective receive area of the antenna, δ is the scattering area of the target, and R is the distance.
As can be seen from the radar equation, the amplitude is inversely proportional to the distance to the power of 4, and the amplitude drops sharply with increasing distance, so that the actual fence may be long, but the strongest point of the amplitude of the echo signal may occur at a closer distance. Thus, the maximum value of the distance region of interest R is set to be 30m, the traversal range for searching the strongest point can be reduced, the circulation times are reduced, and the algorithm efficiency is improved.
Thus, the distance region of interest R is set, the calculation amount can be reduced, and the algorithm efficiency can be improved.
S3: determining an intersection area of the speed region of interest and the distance region of interest, and traversing the amplitude of an echo signal received by the vehicle-mounted radar in the intersection area to find out a strong point with the amplitude larger than a preset amplitude.
As shown in fig. 2, in a three-dimensional space composed of a distance, a velocity, and an amplitude, the intersection region of step S3 may be uniquely determined according to the distance region of interest R and the velocity region of interest V. The amplitude of the Z axis in fig. 2 may refer to the amplitude of the echo signal received by the vehicle-mounted radar, and the X-axis speed and the Y-axis example are not actual speeds and examples, but the X-axis coordinate and the Y-axis coordinate of the strong point in the three-dimensional coordinate system, that is, the X, Y coordinate of the projection of the strong point in the three-dimensional coordinate system.
In the intersection area determined by the distance region of interest R and the speed region of interest V, if the amplitude of the point is greater than the preset amplitude N, the point is called a strong point. The preset amplitude N is a constant and can be determined by the hardware condition of the vehicle radar. Specifically, a high signal-to-noise ratio indicates that the signal has a larger noise difference from the surrounding, and the preset amplitude N can be set smaller; the low signal-to-noise ratio indicates that the signal has small difference from the surrounding noise, and the preset amplitude N can be set to be larger. This reduces the interference of noise with fence detection.
Therefore, through reasonably setting the preset amplitude N, the erroneous judgment of the fence can be primarily eliminated.
In the crossing area, judging whether each amplitude is larger than a preset amplitude N, if the amplitude is larger than N, determining the strong point, recording information of the strong point, if the amplitude is smaller than or equal to N, not the strong point, and not recording, traversing the crossing area to find out all the strong points in the crossing area, recording the total number of the strong points as M, and marking the strong point with the largest amplitude in the M strong points as L.
S4: judging whether an invalid target is detected according to the total number of the found strong points and the transverse distance corresponding to the strong point with the largest amplitude value in the found strong points.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, determining whether an invalid target is detected according to the total number of the found strong points and the lateral distance corresponding to the strong point with the largest amplitude among the found strong points includes:
judging whether the total number of the strong points is smaller than a preset number threshold value;
if the total number of the strong points is smaller than a preset number threshold, judging that an invalid target is not detected;
if the total number of the strong points is greater than or equal to a preset number threshold, judging whether an invalid target is detected according to the transverse distance corresponding to the strong point with the largest amplitude.
The preset number threshold C is the number of the minimum strong points for judging the detected fence, and C is a constant and can be set according to the distance and the speed spectrogram of the actual fence.
It will be appreciated that if the preset number threshold C is set too large, it is easy to determine a real fence as a non-fence, and if the preset number threshold C is set too small, it is easy to determine other stationary targets as fences. Therefore, through reasonably setting the preset quantity threshold C, the erroneous judgment of the fence can be primarily eliminated.
Alternatively, N may be 10 and C may be 4.
That is, since the actual fence corresponds to M strong points in the above-described crossing region, where the value of M is large. However, if the value of M is small, for example, m=1 or m=2, it may be determined that the target is not a fence. That is, if the total number M of strong points is greater than or equal to the constant C, the next step is performed; if the total number M of the strong points is smaller than a constant C, the method directly returns, and the target is judged not to be a fence.
Specifically, according to the embodiment of fig. 3, determining whether an invalid target is detected according to the lateral distance corresponding to the strong point with the largest amplitude includes:
s431: and calculating the transverse distance between the vehicle and the invalid target according to the radial distance and the angle corresponding to the strong point with the maximum amplitude.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the step S431 of calculating the lateral distance between the host vehicle and the invalid target according to the radial distance and the angle corresponding to the strong point with the largest amplitude includes:
s4312: and calculating the angle corresponding to the strong point with the maximum amplitude according to the distance dimension index and the speed dimension index corresponding to the strong point with the maximum amplitude.
Specifically, traversing the intersection region to find M strong points with amplitude greater than N, marking the strongest point with the largest amplitude value in the M strong points as L, and marking the distance dimension coordinate of the strongest point L (namely the Y-axis coordinate of the strongest point L in the three-dimensional coordinate system) as L r I.e. L r For the distance dimension index corresponding to the strong point L with the largest amplitude, the velocity dimension coordinate of the strongest point L (namely the X-axis coordinate of the strongest point L in the three-dimensional coordinate system) is recorded as L v I.e. L v And the velocity dimension index corresponding to the strong point L with the maximum amplitude value.
For echo signals, the acquired intermediate frequency data are arranged into a 3-dimensional array Arr [ a ] [ b ] [ c ], wherein a is the channel number, and a=the number of transmitting antennas multiplied by the number of receiving antennas; b is the number of cycles in 1 frame; let the number of sampling points in each period be d, then c satisfies the following condition: 1) c belongs to an exponential sequence with the base of 2; 2) The value of d-c is minimized.
If d > c, deleting the last (d-c) elements when arranging the array Arr, and only retaining the first c elements; if d < c, when array Arr is arranged, 0 element supplementing operation is performed, i.e., d elements are followed by (c-d) 0 elements. For example, d=240, then c=256, and when array Arr is arranged, every 240 is divided into one group, followed by (256-240) 0 s. As another example, d=520, then c=512, and when array Arr is arranged, every 520 is divided into one group, and the latter (520-512) elements are deleted.
The 3-dimensional array Arr a][b][c]In the method, a distance dimension index L corresponding to the strongest point L is substituted r And a speed dimension index L v . Index gets a channel array Arr1[][L v ][L r ]Then, the angle L corresponding to the strongest point L is obtained by utilizing a beam forming algorithm α I.e. the angle L between the strong point with the largest amplitude and the normal line of the vehicle radar α As shown in fig. 5. The beamforming algorithm is well known in the art, and is not described in detail herein.
S4313: and calculating the radial distance between the strong point with the maximum amplitude and the vehicle-mounted radar according to the distance dimension index corresponding to the strong point with the maximum amplitude and the distance resolution of the vehicle-mounted radar.
Specifically, the radial distance of the strongest point L from the vehicle-mounted radar can be calculated according to the following formula: l (L) R ＝L r ×R res Wherein R is res Is the distance resolution, which can R res The waveform parameters of the modulated wave emitted by the vehicle radar are determined.
S4314: and calculating the transverse distance between the vehicle and the invalid target according to the angle and the radial distance.
Specifically, the lateral distance between the host vehicle and the invalid target may be calculated according to the following formula: l (L) x ＝sin(L α +α)×L R Where α is the fixed mounting angle, as shown in fig. 5.
S432: and acquiring an invalid target distance area.
The invalid target distance region may be greater than or equal to a third preset distance and less than or equal to a fourth preset distance. Specifically, the invalid target distance region may be 0m or more and 4.5m or less, that is, the invalid target distance region D may be set to [0m,4.5m ].
It can be understood that on actual roads, old fences are used along many roads, or multiple fences exist, the distance between the fences and the maximum end of the area Dmax is set to be 4.5 meters, and false alarms in the situations can be effectively avoided.
S433: and judging whether the transverse distance belongs to an invalid target distance area.
S434: if the lateral distance belongs to the invalid target distance region, judging that the invalid target is detected.
S435: if the lateral distance does not belong to the invalid target distance region, it is determined that the invalid target is not detected.
That is, if the lateral distance L x If the fence belongs to the invalid target distance area D, judging that the fence is detected; if L x If the fence does not belong to the invalid target distance zone D, it is determined that the fence is not detected.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the angle L of the strong point L with the largest calculated amplitude can be calculated α Further calculate the lateral distance L between the vehicle and the invalid target x If the lateral distance L x And if the target distance falls into the set invalid target distance zone D, the target distance zone D is considered as a fence, otherwise, the target distance zone D is not considered as a fence.
Referring to fig. 6, the target detection method of the vehicle radar according to the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:
s101: acquiring the speed of the vehicle and acquiring a speed region of interest according to the speed of the vehicle
S102: a distance region of interest is acquired.
S103: traversing in the crossing area of the speed region of interest and the distance region of interest, and finding out M strong points with the amplitude value larger than N.
S104: and judging whether the total number M of the strong points is smaller than a constant C.
If yes, go to step S106; if not, step S105 is performed.
S105: and judging whether the transverse distance of the strongest point L belongs to an invalid target distance area D.
If yes, step S107 is performed; if not, step S106 is performed.
S106: no fence is detected.
S107: a fence is detected.
The target detection method of the vehicle-mounted radar is verified and explained by combining actual fence data acquired by the vehicle-mounted radar, namely the blind area radar.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the relative positions of the vehicle radar and fence. Wherein, the fixed installation angle alpha=40°, the angle corresponding to the strongest point L of the fence amplitude is L α Sign indicates L α Positive and negative properties of (1), L in the graph α Is a negative value, L x Is the lateral distance between the fence and the vehicle.
The speed of the vehicle is about 53km/h during the test, wherein the distance resolution R res 0.6m, and a velocity resolution of 0.488m/s.
The distance speed dimension spectrum can be obtained by MATLAB analysis through collecting actual fence data.
Combining the speed of the vehicle, the speed of the fence is-53 km/h, and solving a formula according to the radar speed: (64-x) ×0.488×3.6= -53, and the nearest integer to x is 94. Considering a velocity resolution of 0.488m/s,3 spectral lines are about 5.27km/h, so the velocity region of interest V can be set to {91,92,93,94,95,96,97}.
In combination with a distance resolution of 0.6m, the distance from the region of interest R [3m,30m ] corresponds to the region of the 5 th to 50 th distance dimension line.
And extracting data of the crossing area of the speed region of interest and the distance region of interest to obtain spectrum data of the actual fence in the crossing area.
Setting n=10, traversing the intersection region, 7 strong points can be obtained, and since 7 is greater than c=4, then marking the strongest point L with amplitude of 22, radial distance L of strongest point L R ＝20×0.6The velocity of the strongest point L is (64-94) ×0.488×3.6= -52.7km/h, and the strongest point L is subjected to angular dimension analysis to obtain the angle L of the strongest point L α -25 degrees, radar mounting angle α=40°, thus L α +α= -25+40=15°. Thereby, the lateral distance L of the strongest point L x ＝12×sin(15°)＝3.1m。
Due to L x Belonging to the invalid target distance zone D, and thus judging that the fence is detected.
The fence detection accuracy is high, and false detection of the fence can be avoided by optimizing parameters N, C, D and the like.
In summary, according to the target detection method for the vehicle-mounted radar provided by the embodiment of the invention, the speed region of interest and the distance region of interest are obtained, strong points with the amplitude larger than the preset amplitude are found in the crossing region of the speed region of interest and the distance region of interest, and then whether an invalid target is detected is judged according to the total number of the found strong points and the transverse distance corresponding to the strong point with the largest amplitude in the found strong points, so that the operand can be effectively reduced, the algorithm efficiency is improved, in addition, the influence caused by speed analysis errors can be eliminated, the processing steps of the method are fewer, simplicity and high efficiency are realized, the interference of the invalid target such as a fence can be effectively eliminated, and the false alarm caused by the invalid target is avoided.
