Description

收割机及其自动驾驶方法 技术领域
本发明涉及农业机械自动驾驶领域,尤其涉及一收割机及其自动驾驶方法。
背景技术
收割机是收获稻、麦等农作物作物子粒和秸秆的作物收获机械,此外收割机还包括割草机,收割其他农作物,比如蔬菜水果收获的机械设备。谷物收割机是一体化收割农作物的机械,能够一次性地完成收割、脱粒,并将谷粒集中到储藏仓,然后再通过传送带将粮食输送到运输车。果蔬类收获设备能够一次性地收割农田中的蔬菜水果,并将收获的果实与茎秆分离处理,然后分类处理。
收割机在执行收割作业时需要时刻观察农田中农作物和农田作业区域的情况,以便根据农作物的高度、成熟情况、颗粒饱满度等情况,调整所述收割机的作业参数。农业机械设备在农田中作业时,需要实时判断农田作业情况和农田中作物生长情况,来操作农业机械设备的运行和调整作业***的运行情况的复杂情况。现在只能通过具有专业技术的机械操作人员完成。农业机械设备在农田中作业时需要考虑到农田的已作业区域,未作业区域,以及天地的边界范围等诸多因素,并且在作业过程中需要根据农作物的情况实时地调整车辆的运行和调整作业的参数。由于驾驶过程中需要考虑复杂的作业环境,因此现有技术的农业设备还需要操作人员基于实时的农田作物的信息调整所述农业机械设备的运行。通过人工操作的方式控制所述农业机械设备作业出现判断误差的几率较大,而导致机械设备在作业过程中出现故障的概率大。
这种现有技术的收割机存在以下下述至少一缺陷:首先,收割机在作业时,由于车机本身的震动和农田土地的不平会产生所述收割机本体的上下晃动,从而导致设置于所述收割机本体的摄像头装置无法拍摄到稳定位置的图像。因此,通过所述摄像装置获取的图像往往是模糊不清的,无法为智能作业和自动驾驶提供信息支持。其次,现有技术的摄像装置通过固定安装的方式设置于所述收割机本体,仅仅能够获取单一方向的图像,比如所述收割机前方的图像,而不能根据情况调整所述摄像装置的拍摄方向和位置。再次,现有技术的移动摄像设备或固定摄像设备,比如无人机的摄像装置或固定在农田中的摄像装置,拍摄所述收割机 周围的图像后传输至所述收割机本体,以供所述收割机本体读取所述摄像装置拍摄的图像。虽然在一定程度上解决了图像拍摄不清楚的问题,但是,基于摄像装置本身或基于无人机的位置拍摄的图像,不能从所述收割机自身的视角获取图像。因此,获取的图像不能很好的识别。
现有技术的农业机械设备在作业时通常会由于设定的作业路径不准,而导致作业出现误差,甚至出现严重的机械故障。此外,采用PTK的卫星定位的方式对于农业设备的性能要求较高,所需要的制造成本和维护成本相对来说都很高昂,因此,这种现有技术的自动驾驶的定位方式不适用于当前的农业机械设备的自动驾驶模式中。

具体实施方式
以下描述用于揭露本发明以使本领域技术人员能够实现本发明。以下描述中的优选实施例只作为举例,本领域技术人员可以想到其他显而易见的变型。在以下描述中界定的本发明的基本原理可以应用于其他实施方案、变形方案、改进方案、等同方案以及没有背离本发明的精神和范围的其他技术方案。
本领域技术人员应理解的是,在本发明的揭露中,术语“纵向”、“横向”、“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”、“竖直”、“水平”、“顶”、“底”、“内”、“外”等指示的方位或位置关系是基于附图所示的方位或位置 关系,其仅是为了便于描述本发明和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此上述术语不能理解为对本发明的限制。
可以理解的是,术语“一”应理解为“至少一”或“一个或多个”,即在一个实施例中,一个元件的数量可以为一个,而在另外的实施例中,该元件的数量可以为多个,术语“一”不能理解为对数量的限制。
参照本发明说明说明书附图之图1至图9,依照本发明第一较佳实施例的一收割机及其自动驾驶方法在接下来的描述中被揭露和被阐述,其中所述收割机可被实施为具有谷物处理功能的农作物收割机设备、蔬菜、水果收获设备、割草设备、以及其他类型的收割装置等。可以理解的是,本发明中所述的收割机的类型在此仅仅作为示例性质的,而非限制。所述收割机获取周围的至少一图像,和基于视觉地识别处理所述图像中的农田的区域类型,并划分所述图像中的农田的各种区域类型和边界。
所述收割机根据划分的各个区域类型和边界,其中所述收割机划分农田的区域类型包括至少一已作业区域100、至少一未作业区域200、以及至少一田边界区域300,并且所述收割机根据划分的区域类型由导航***规划出车辆的行走路线,以实现无人自动驾驶和无人自动驾驶地作业。
值得一提的是,自动驾驶汽车,在自动驾驶模式下为识别获取车辆行走的路线,需要获取精确的车辆定位信息,通常需要高精度的卫星定位信息,并且所述自动驾驶汽车需时刻更新道路中存在的障碍物信息、路面车辆信息、以及路面行人等信息,以在高速运行状态下实现自动驾驶功能。本发明的所述收割机获取的图像是对应于农田中的农作物谷物的图像数据信息,其中所述图像是基于车辆当前位置获取的所述车辆周边的图像。所述收割机不需要太高精度的卫星定位信息,只需要普通米级精度的卫星定位(GPS定位或者北斗定位等)。相应地,所述收割机所获取和处理的图像与自动驾驶汽车不同,因此,所述收割机所形成的路径规划和驾驶方式也不相同。可以理解的是,本发明的所述收割机基于视觉的识别所述农田的区域和自动驾驶功能与自动驾驶汽车的识别模式不同。
如图1和图2所示,所述收割机获取周边的至少一图像,其中所述收割机根据获取得到的所述图像识别划分出所述农田对应的区域类型和区域之间的界线。所述收割机通过定点拍照、摄像,移动地拍照等方式获取所述收割机周边的所述 图像。可以理解的是,所述收割机获取图像的方式在此仅仅作为示例性质的,而非限制。所述收割机包括一收割机主机10和至少一图像获取装置20,其中所述图像获取装置20获取所述收割机主机10周边的至少一图像。
优选地,所述图像获取装置20被设置于所述收割机主机10,其中所述图像获取装置20通过拍照或视频拍摄的方式获取所述收割机主机10周边的所述图像。更优选地,所述图像获取装置20被设置于所述收割机主机10的前方,其中所述图像获取装置20能够实时地获取所述收割机主机10前方的图像,其中所述收割机主机10基于所述图像获取装置20拍摄的图像信息所识别划分出的区域设定行驶路线。值得一提的是,所述图像获取装置20拍摄的图像是基于所述收割机主机10视野范围内的图像。换言之,所述图像获取装置20获取基于收割机主机10视野方向的图像,根据所述图像获取装置20被安装至所述收割机主机10的位置调整所述收割机主机10的行驶方向。
更多地,所述图像获取装置20拍摄所述收割机主机10行驶方向的天地的视觉,其中所述图像可以是被拍摄得到的二维平面图像或三维立体图像。可以理解的是,所述图像获取装置20拍摄得到的图像的类型在此仅仅作为示例性质的,而非限制。
值得一提的是,在本发明的第一较佳实施例中,所述收割机主机10被实施为一谷物收割机设备,其中所述收割机主机10被控制地行驶至农田的未作业区域200进行收割作业,以收割所述未作业区域200内的农作物,比如水稻,小麦,玉米等。所述收割机主机10根据所述图像获取装置20获取的图像划分出的区域进行田间的自动驾驶,无人自动驾驶。可以理解的是,所述收割机主机10的类型在此仅仅作为示例性质的,而非限制。
如图3A至图3C所示,所述收割机主机10在行驶过程中,由所述图像获取装置20实时地获取所述收割机主机10周边的图像。图3A示出了所述收割机主机10作为一谷物收割机时,所述图像获取装置20拍摄的所述图像。农田中的区域根据所述谷物是否收获情况分为至少一未收割区域100a,至少一已收割区域200a,以及至少一田边界区域300a,其中所述已收割区域200a是已经收割农作物的区域,其中所述已收割区域200a中原有的农作物被收割。所述未收割区域100a是还农作物还存在的区域,其中所述未收割区域100a中还存在生长的农作物。所述田边界区域300a是农田中分隔农作物间隔的地垄、农田周边的外边界、 以及农田中存在障碍物区域,其中所述田边界区域300a不被种植农作物。
图3B示出了所述收割机主机10作为一割草设备时,所述图像获取装置20拍摄的所述图像。农田中的区域根据所述谷物是否耕种分为至少一未收割区域100b,至少一已收割区域200b,以及至少一田边界区域300b,其中所述未收割区域100b代表还未收割农作物的区域,所述已收割区域200b代表已经被耕种农作物的区域,所述田边界300b是间隔农作物种植的地垄和农田周边的外边界、以及农田中存在障碍物区域。
图3C示出了所述收割机主机10作为一根茎类植物或水果收获设备时,比如蔬菜收割机设备,所述图像获取装置20拍摄的所述图像。农田中的区域根据所述谷物是够已经喷药分为至少一未收获区域100c,至少一以收获区域200c,以及至少一田边界区域300c。所述未收获区域100c代表还未农作物还未收获的区域,所述以收获区域200c代表已经被收获的农作物区域,所述田边界300b是间隔农作物种植的地垄和农田周边的外边界、以及农田中存在障碍物区域。
如图1和图4所示,所述图像获取装置20获取的图像被利用图像分割识别技术识别出所述未作业区域100、所述已作业区域200、以及所述田边界区域300,并区分所述区域之间的界线。所述收割机进一步包括一图像处理***30,其中所述图像处理***30基于所述图像获取装置20获取的所述农田的所述图像,利用图像分割识别技术从图像中识别出所述未作业区域100、所述已作业区域200、以及所述田边界区域300。
可以理解的是,所述图像处理***30利用图像分割识别技术识别所述图像中的区域和边界被用于表示所述收割机主机10行驶前方的所述农田的区域和边界。基于所述图像处理***30利用图像分割识别技术识别出的所述区域和边界,所述收割机主机10被控制地在农田中的未作业区域行驶和进行作业。比如收割机设备,被设置于所述收割机设备前端的所述图像获取装置20获取收割机设备前方的农田的图像,其中所述图像获取装置20拍摄的图像被所述图像处理***30分割识别,以识别划分出所述收割机设备行驶方向的农田的所述未作业区域100、所述已作业区域200、以及所述田边界区域300。所述收割机主机10即收割机设备的主机基于所述图像处理***30识别出的区域和边界规划车辆行驶路径和收割作业。
可以理解的是,所述图像处理***30利用图像分割识别技术识别所述图像 获取装置20提供的图像中农作物的种类,农作物的高度、农作物颗粒饱满程度等信息。所述图像处理***30可基于识别出的所述图像中农作物的种类,农作物的高度判断农作物是否已经收割,基于识别出的所述图像中农作物颗粒的饱满程度信息,可被用于调整作业的参数。换言之,所述图像处理***30可根据所述图像获取装置20提供的图像识别出农田的区域类型和边界,还可以识别出农田中农作物的种类、高度、颗粒饱满度、农作物成熟情况等。
值得一提的是,所述图像处理***30选自基于阈值的分割方法、基于区域的分割方法、基于边缘的分割方法以及基于特定理论的分割方法等其中的任一分割识别方法对所述图像获取装置20获取的图像进行分割识别,以识别出所述图像中的区域和边界。优选地,所述图像处理***30利用深度学习算法对所述图像分割识别和对所述图像进行区域划分和边界的限定。换言之,所述图像处理***30利用深度学习算法识别所述图像中对应的农田的区域和边界,以供所述收割机主机根据识别划分的区域和边界行驶和进行作业。可更优选地,所述图像处理***30利用的深度学习算法为卷积神经网络算法的图像分割识别技术从图像中识别出对应农田中的所述未作业区域100、已作业区域200、以及所述田边界区域300。
值得一体地是,所述图像处理***30利用的处理算法在此仅仅作为示例性质的,而非限制。因此,所述图像处理***30还可利用其它算法对获取的图像进行分割识别,以识别出图像中农田的区域和边界。
如图5A和图6所示,所述图像处理***30对所述图像获取装置20获取的所述图像分割成为多个像元区域301,其中每一所述像元区域301内包含至少一像素单元。可以理解的是,所述图像对应于所述收割机主机10周围的区域,相应地,所述图像的所述像元区域301对应于被拍摄的农田中的特定区域的农田或农作物的图像信息。对分割形成的每一所述像元区域301进行归一化处理,使得所述像元区域301的所述像素单元归一化为与像素值对应大小的一数值或数组。换言之,所述图像处理***30将分割形成的所述像元区域301归一化为对应的数值或数组,以供所述图像处理***提取图像的特征,和对区域的划分。
所述图像处理***30基于每一所述像元区域301所对应的数组,提取所述像元区域301对应的图像特征。所述图像处理***30根据所述像元区域301对应的所述数组得出所述像元区域301对应的图像特征。所述图像处理***30利 用卷积神经网络算法,比如二维卷积神经网络时,所述卷积神经网络的输入层对应输入所述像元区域301中对应的二维数组或三维数组。所述卷积神经网络的隐含层对输入层的数组进行特征提取,和在特征提取后进行特征选择和信息过滤。所述卷积神经网络基于所述数组对应的特征输出所述像元区域301的一分类标签,其中所述分类标签分别对应所述未作业区域100、已作业区域200、以及所述田边界区域300。
如图6和图7所示,所述图像处理***30通过提取所述像元区域301对应数组的特征,识别所述像元区域301对应的区域特征,其中所述像元区域301对应的特征主要包括有农作物植株的高度特征、农田中农作物植株的间隔、农作物颜色、农田土地颜色、农作物种类特征、农田土地特征、农作物颗粒饱满程度、农作物颗粒数量等。所述图像处理***30根据提取特征输出对应像元区域301的一分类标签,其中所述分类标签基于所述特征信息对应地标识出所述像元区域301对应的区域类型和边界界线。
