具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。其中,在本申请实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“/”表示或的意思,例如,A/B可以表示A或B;本文中的“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。

图1是本申请实施例提供的车辆100的一个功能框图示意。车辆100可以包括感知系统120和计算平台150,其中,感知系统120可以包括感测关于车辆100周边的环境的信息的一种或多种传感器。例如,感知系统120可以包括定位系统,定位系统可以是全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS),也可以是北斗系统或者其他定位系统、惯性测量单元(inertial measurement unit,IMU)。又例如,感知系统120还可以包括眼动仪、激光雷达、毫米波雷达、超声波雷达以及摄像装置中的一种或者多种。其中,激光雷达还可以分为长距激光雷达和短距激光雷达。

图2是一种长距激光雷达的布置位置和盲区示意图。在车辆的中网中间、前保险杠两侧分别布置有3个长距激光雷达。目前市面上的长距激光雷达有0-0.6米的盲区,这样无法通过长距激光雷达采集的点云数据确定在车辆前方且与车辆距离较近的物体的位置。同时,长距激光雷达之间无法弥补本身的盲区,长距激光雷达交叉的位置处也存在盲区,盲区的大小与长距激光雷达的安装位置相关。盲区可能会导致车辆无法检测到与车辆距离较近的动物(例如,小猫、小狗)或者蹲下的人,从而可能会造成车辆的安全事故,影响车辆的安全性能。
对于图2中长距激光雷达的布置方案,在车辆进行泊车(例如,进行窄车位泊车以及立体车库泊车)时,仅依靠后视摄像头和超声波雷达采集的数据进行泊车的难度很大。盲区可能会导致车辆在泊车时无法检测到车辆两边或者车尾部有人、地锁以及其他影响泊车的障碍物,从而可能影响用户的泊车体验。
图3示出了本申请实施例提供的一种长距激光雷达和短距激光雷达的布置位置以及短距激光雷达的视野示意图。如图3所示,通过在车身侧边布置2个用于对车辆前方环境进行感知的短距激光雷达,可以弥补车辆向前行驶时的盲区。这样,有助于避免由于长距激光雷达在近距离处无法检测到物体而造成的安全事故,有助于提升车辆的安全性能。例如,可以提升车辆在泊出车位时的安全性。
一个实施例中,2个短距激光雷达也可以分别布置在后视镜上;或者,2个短距激光雷达可以分别布置在前保险杠的两侧。
以上图3以及以下的一些实施例中,以布置在车身侧边的激光雷达是短距激光雷达为例进行说明,本申请实施例并不限于此。例如,布置在车身侧边的激光雷达也可以是长距激光雷达,该长距激光雷达也可以弥补车辆前侧激光雷达的盲区。又例如,布置在车辆前侧的激光雷达的盲区范围大于布置在车辆侧边的激光雷达的盲区范围。又例如,布置在车辆前侧的激光雷达的测距能力大于布置在车辆侧边的激光雷达的测距能力。又例如,布置在车辆前侧的激光雷达的测距精度小于布置在车辆侧边的激光雷达的测距精度。
图4示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种长距激光雷达和短距激光雷达的布置位置以及短距激光雷达的视野示意图。如图4所示,通过在车身侧边以及尾部布置4个用于对车辆后方环境进行感知的短距激光雷达,可以弥补车辆向后行驶时的盲区。这样,有助于提升车辆在泊车时的安全性能,从而有助于提升用户的泊车体验。
一个实施例中,4个短距激光雷达中的其中2个可以分别布置在后视镜上,另外2个可以分别布置在车辆尾部车牌的两侧。
以上图4中是以布置4个用于对车辆后方环境进行感知的短距激光雷达为例进行说明的,本申请实施例对于短距激光雷达的数量并不限定。例如,还可以在车身侧边以及尾部布置3个用于对车辆后方环境进行感知的短距激光雷达,其中2个可以分别布置在后视镜上,另外1个可以布置在车身尾部(例如车辆尾部车牌的上侧或者下侧)。
以上通过图3所示的布置方案中介绍了在车身侧边布置2个用于对车辆前方环境进行感知的短距激光雷达以及通过图4所示的布置方案中介绍了在车身侧边以及尾部布置4个用于对车辆后方环境进行感知的短距激光雷达。图3和图4中所示的布置在车身侧边的2个短距激光雷达可以是相同的激光雷达。示例性的,可以在车身侧边设置翻转部件,该翻转部件可以控制短距激光雷达前后翻转,进而通过相同的短距激光雷达分别实现对车辆前方环境和后方环境进行感知,有助于降低车辆的成本。
下面以短距激光雷达设置在后视镜上为例进行说明。图5示出了本申请实施例提供的通过在后视镜上设置短距激光雷达的示意图。
示例性的,如图5中的(a)所示的俯视图,后视镜可以包括折叠机构510、翻转部件520以及短距激光雷达530。X轴方向为车辆纵轴所在的方向,Y轴为车辆横轴所在的方向,Z轴为车辆高度方向。其中,X轴的正向(或者,正方向)可以为车辆向前行驶的方向,X轴的负向(或者,负方向)可以为车辆向后行驶的方向。
折叠机构510用于将后视镜进行折叠,例如,用户可以通过旋转后视镜旋钮调节后视镜处于展开状态或者折叠状态。又例如,在检测到用户将车辆上锁的操作时,可以通过折叠机构510控制后视镜处于折叠状态;在检测到用户解锁车辆的操作时,可以通过折叠机构510控制后视镜处于展开状态。
翻转部件520用于控制短距激光雷达530进行前后翻转。例如,在车辆需要向后行驶时,车辆可以通过翻转部件520控制短距激光雷达530向后翻转,从而通过短距激光雷达530采集的数据对车辆后方的环境进行感知。图5中的(a)中短距激光雷达530当前处于翻转状态1,在翻转状态1下,短距激光雷达530采集的数据可以用于弥补图2中车辆向前行驶时的盲区。
以上短距激光雷达530处于翻转状态1还可以理解为短距激光雷达的水平视场角(field of view,FOV)与X轴的正向相对应。
示例性的,图5中的(b)示出了短距激光雷达处于翻转状态1时的另一视图。
示例性的,如图5中的(c)所示的侧视图,在车辆需要向前行驶时,车辆可以通过翻转部件520控制短距激光雷达530沿着Y轴方向(或者沿着XOZ平面)顺时针或者逆时针翻转180°,从而实现短距激光雷达530向后翻转。
如图5中的(d)所示的另一俯视图。通过翻转部件520控制短距激光雷达530向后翻转,从而车辆可以通过短距激光雷达530采集的数据对车辆后方的环境进行感知。
