Abstract:

At present, the perception and positioning of surrounding obstacles by onboard lidarare mostly based on vehicle coordinate system. When the vehicle turns to avoid collision, due to the change of heading angle and the rotation of vehicle coordinate system, the difficulties of the obstacle data correlation, the analysis of surrounding vehicle motion state and the path planning for collision avoidance will increase. In order to eliminate the adverse effects of vehicle steering, atarget obstacle tracking methodis proposed based on the transformation of onboardlidar coordinate system. Firstly, the improved K-means clustering algorithm is used to cluster the road boundary points extracted to fit the road boundary line.Then, sparrow search algorithmisadopted to solve out the heading angle of vehicle accordingtoroad boundary, with the lidar coordinate system transformed. Finally, the association algorithm and particle filter are used to track the target obstacles. The results of real vehicle test show that the algorithm proposed can accurately extract the road boundary and track obstacles in vehicle turning for collision avoidance.
