This embodiment involves the specific process of a mobile robot adopting an iterative closest point algorithm to determine information of Y candidate estimated poses of a current frame according to initial estimated positions of Y key frames, laser radar point sets of the Y key frames, initial estimated angles of the Y key frames, and a laser radar point set of the current frame, determining a quantized value of each candidate estimated pose of the current frame, and correcting the gyroscope data of the mobile robot according to the candidate estimated pose information corresponding to the maximum quantized value. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:

S101, performing loop closure detection of laser radar data of a current frame.

Specifically, when the laser radar sensor obtains the laser radar data of the current frame, it detects whether there is laser radar data of the key frame matching with the laser radar data of the current frame.

S102, if the loop closure detection is successful, using an iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm to determine information of Y candidate estimated poses of the current frame according to initial estimated positions of Y key frames of the mobile robot, laser radar point sets of the Y key frames, initial estimated angles of the Y key frames, and a laser radar point set of the current frame of the mobile robot.

Specifically, the mobile robot obtains the laser radar point set of the current frame through laser radar sensors, and obtains X key frames matching with the laser radar point set of the current frame after the loop closure detection is successful, and randomly selects Y key frames from the X key frames. Since the laser radar point sets of these key frames are very similar to the laser radar point set of the current frame, information of Y candidate estimated poses of the current frame is determined according to the laser radar data information in the Y key frames.

Wherein, the initial position of the key frame is the initial position of the mobile robot determined by the data obtained by a laser radar sensor at the key frame time, the laser radar point set of the key frame is the set consisting of data points obtained by the laser radar sensor in the key frame, the initial estimated angle of the key frame is the angle information of the mobile robot determined by the data obtained by the laser radar sensor at the key frame time, the laser radar point set of the current frame of the mobile robot includes the set consisting of data points obtained by the laser radar sensor in the current frame, wherein, the duration of each frame of the laser radar sensor is the duration of one revolution of the laser radar sensor.

It should be noted that the mobile robot adopts the ICP algorithm to determine information of the Y candidate estimated poses of the current frame according to the initial estimated positions of the Y key frames, the laser radar point sets of the Y key frames, the initial estimated angles of the Y key frames, and the laser radar point set of the current frame of the mobile robot, but there are no restrictions on the implementation mode and process of the ICP algorithm.

S103, determining a quantized value of each candidate estimated pose of the current frame according to the laser radar point set of each key frame and the laser radar point set of the current frame.

Specifically, after the mobile robot has determined the information of Y candidate estimated poses of the current frame, it can determine the quantized value of each candidate estimated pose in the current frame according to the laser radar point set of each key frame and the laser radar point set of the current frame, and traverse the Y candidate estimated poses of the current frame to determine the corresponding quantized values of the Y candidate estimated poses.

For example, the quantized value of each candidate estimated pose can be determined according to a relative position between the data points in the laser radar point set of the key frame and the data points in the laser radar point set of the current frame. The closer the relative position is, the larger the quantized value is, and the farther the relative position is, the smaller the quantized value is.

S104, correcting the gyroscope data of the mobile robot according to the candidate estimated pose information corresponding to the maximum quantized value among the Y quantized values.

Specifically, Y quantized values can be sorted from large to small, and the first quantized value can be determined as the maximum quantized value; or, a bubble sorting method can be used to sort the Y quantized values to determine the maximum quantized value, and the gyroscope data of the mobile robot can be corrected according to the estimated pose information corresponding to the maximum quantized value.

According to the data correction method provided in this embodiment, the mobile robot performs loop closure detection on the laser radar data of the current frame. After the loop closure detection is successful, the ICP algorithm is used to determine the Y candidate estimated poses of the current frame according to the initial estimated positions of the Y key frames, the laser radar point set of the Y key frames, the initial estimated angles of the Y key frames, and the laser radar point set of the current frame of the mobile robot. According to the laser radar point set of each key frame and the laser radar point set of the current frame, the quantized value of each candidate estimated pose in the current frame is determined. The gyroscope data of the mobile robot is corrected according to the maximum quantized value of the determined Y quantized values. Compared with the global optimization algorithm, the implementation of the ICP algorithm has the characteristics of simple steps and low algorithm complexity. Therefore, using the ICP algorithm to determine the Y candidate estimated poses of the current frame can reduce the amount of calculation and shorten the calculation time, thus improving the real-time performance of gyroscope data correction. At the same time, correcting the gyroscope data of mobile robot according to the candidate estimated pose information corresponding to the maximum quantized value of the Y quantized values is equivalent to selecting the best candidate estimated pose to correct the gyroscope data, which greatly improves the accuracy of the gyroscope data correction, so that the gyroscope data can be corrected more quickly and accurately, and the robustness of the system is improved.

The present embodiment relates to a specific process for a mobile robot to determine a quantized value of each candidate estimated pose of the current frame according to the laser radar point set of the key frame and the laser radar point set of the current frame. Based on the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the implementation of step 103 may include S501, performing rotation translation transformation operation on Y laser radar point sets of the key frames to obtain Y transformed laser radar point sets.

Specifically, when performing the rotation translation transformation operation on the laser radar point set of each key frame, the laser radar point set of each key frame can be rotated first and then translated, or the laser radar point set of the key frame can be translated first and then rotated to obtain the transformed laser radar point set of each key frame In the same way, the rotation translation transformation operation is performed on the laser radar point sets of the Y key frames, so that Y transformed laser radar point sets are obtained.

Optionally, the corresponding rotation matrix R₀ and translation matrix t₀ can be obtained according to the embodiment method in FIG. 4, and the points in the key frame set can be rotated and translated by using the calculated R₀ and t₀, and the transformed laser radar point set P′ can be obtained by the following formula:

P′=R ₀ P+t ₀,

where P is the laser radar point set of the key frame, R₀ is the rotation matrix, and t₀ is the translation matrix.

S502, determining a number of internal points and a number of external points in each of the transformed laser radar point sets according to each of the transformed laser radar point sets, the laser radar point set of the current frame and a first preset threshold.

For example, by comparing the distance between the data points in the transformed laser radar point set and the data points in the laser radar point set of the current frame with a first preset threshold, the number of internal points and external points in each transformed laser radar point set can be determined. The number of internal points and external points in different transformed laser radar point sets are different.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 7, a possible implementation mode of S502 may include S601, determining a third distance corresponding to each data point in the transformed laser radar point set according to the transformed laser radar point set and the laser radar point set of the current frame; the third distance being a minimum distance between data points in the transformed laser radar point set and data points in the laser radar point set of the current frame.

Specifically, the mobile robot, after performing rotation translation transformation operation on the laser radar point set of the key frame to obtain the transformed laser radar point set, determines a minimum distance between each data point in the transformed laser radar point set and each data point in the laser radar point set of the current frame according to the transformed laser radar point set and the laser radar point set of the current frame; Optionally, first, any point in the transformed laser radar point set can be selected and the nearest data point in the laser radar point set of the current frame can be retrieved, and then the third distance between the point in the transformed laser radar point set and the retrieved data point in the laser radar point set of the current frame can be calculated.

For example, the third distance can be calculated by the following formula:

d _i=√{square root over ((x₁−x₂)²+(y₁−y₂)²)},

where (x₁,y₁) are the point coordinates in the transformed laser radar point set, (x₂,y₂) are the point coordinates in the laser radar point set of the current frame, d_i is the third distance.

S602, determining a number of internal points and a number of external points in each of the transformed laser radar point sets according to the third distance and the first preset threshold.

Specifically, the first preset threshold is the threshold determined according to the actual situation. The mobile robot, after determining the third distance corresponding to each data point in the transformed laser radar point set according to the transformed laser radar point set and the laser radar point set of the current frame, compares the third distance with the first preset threshold, and determines the number of internal points and external points in each transformed laser radar point set according to the comparison result.

Optionally, if the third distance is less than the first preset threshold, the points in the transformed laser radar point set are determined as internal points; if the third distance is greater than three times of the first preset threshold, the points in the transformed laser radar point set are determined as external points; then, according to the internal points and external points in each transformed laser radar point set, the number of internal points and external points in each transformed laser radar point set are determined.

For example, the following formula can be used to determine the internal and external points in the transformed laser point set, traverse all the points in the transformed laser point set, and count the number of internal points num₁ and external points num₂ in the point set.

$P_i^{\prime }\mathrm{is}\{\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{Internal}\mathrm{point},& \mathrm{if}d_i<\varepsilon \\ \mathrm{External}\mathrm{point},& \mathrm{if}d_i>3\varepsilon ,\end{array}$

where P_i′ is the transformed laser radar point set, d_i is the third distance, ands is the first preset threshold.

In the mobile robot gyroscope data correction method provided by the above amendment, the mobile robot, after performing rotation translation transformation operation on the laser radar point set of the key frame, obtains a transformed laser radar point set, and determines a third distance corresponding to each data point in the transformed laser radar point set and the data point in the nearest laser radar point set in the current frame according to the transformed laser radar point set and the laser radar point set of the current frame, and then determines a number of internal points and a number of external points in each transformed laser radar point set according to the size relationship between the third distance and the first preset threshold. Since the third distance being a minimum distance between data points in the transformed laser radar point set and data points in the laser radar point set of the current frame, the data points in the transformed laser radar point set are closer to the data points in the current frame laser radar point set, so as to determine the number of internal points and external points in the transformed laser radar point set more accurately.

S503, determining a quantized value of each candidate estimated pose of the current frame according to the number of internal points and the number of external points in each of the transformed laser radar point sets.

In the present embodiment, after determining the number of internal points and external points in the transformed laser radar point set, the quantized value of each estimated pose in the current frame can be determined according to the ratio of the number of internal points and external points.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 8, a possible implementation mode of S503 may include S701, according to a number of internal points and a number of external points in the i-th transformed laser radar point set, determining a ratio of the number of internal points to the number of external points corresponding to the i-th transformed laser radar point set; wherein, 1≤i≤Y.

Specifically, after the mobile robot determines the number of internal points and external points in each transformed laser radar point set, and quotes the number of internal points and external points in the i-th transformed laser radar point set, the corresponding result is obtained, and the result is determined to be the ratio of the number of internal points and external points corresponding to the i-th transformed laser radar point set. For example, the ratio of the number of internal points to the number of external points

$\frac{num_1}{num_2}$

can be determined according to the number of internal points num₁ and the number of external points num₂ in the i-th transformed laser radar point set P_i′.

S702, judging whether the ratio of the number of internal points to the number of external points corresponding to the i-th transformed laser radar point set is less than a second preset threshold to obtain a judgment result.

Specifically, the mobile robot, after determining the ratio of the number of internal points to the number of external points in the i-th transformed laser radar point set, and judging the size relationship between the ratio of the number of internal points and external points in the transformed laser radar point set and the second preset threshold, obtains the corresponding judgment result.

Optionally, the judgment result can be that the ratio of the number of internal points to the number of external points in the transformed laser radar point set is less than the second preset threshold, or the ratio of the number of interior points to the number of external points in the transformed laser radar point set is not less than the second preset threshold, that is, the ratio of the number of interior points to the number of external points in the transformed laser radar point set is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold.

S703, determining a quantized value of the transformed laser radar point set according to the judgment result.

Specifically, the mobile robot obtains a corresponding judgment result by determining whether the ratio of the number of internal points to the number of external points corresponding to the i-th transformed laser radar point set is less than the second preset threshold, and then determines the quantized value of the transformed laser radar point set according to the judgment result.

Optionally, if the judgment result is that the ratio of the number of internal points to the number of external points corresponding to the i-th transformed laser radar point set is less than the second preset threshold, then the ratio of the number of internal points to the number of external points corresponding to the i-th transformed laser radar point set is determined as the quantized value of the transformed laser radar point set; if the judgment result is that the ratio of the number of internal points to external points corresponding to the i-th transformed laser radar point set is not less than the second preset threshold, then the second preset threshold is determined to be the quantized value of the transformed laser radar point set.

For example, the judgment result can be determined by the following formula,

$\mathrm{ICPscore}\left({\mathrm{KF}}_i,F_j,{\mathrm{pose}}_{\mathrm{KFi}},{\mathrm{pose}}_{\mathrm{Fj}}\right)=p\left(\frac{{\mathrm{num}}_1}{{\mathrm{num}}_2}\right)=\{\begin{array}{c}\frac{{\mathrm{num}}_1}{{\mathrm{num}}_2},\frac{{\mathrm{num}}_1}{{\mathrm{num}}_2}<K\\ K,\frac{{\mathrm{num}}_1}{{\mathrm{num}}_2}\ge K\end{array}$

where

$\frac{num_1}{num_2}$

is the ratio of the number of internal points and the number of external points in the transformed laser radar point set, K is the second preset threshold,

$p\left(\frac{num_1}{num_2}\right)$

is the quantized value of the transformed laser radar point set, KF_i is the i-th transformed laser radar point set, F_j is the laser radar point set of the current frame, pose_KFi is the i-th candidate estimated pose of the transformed laser radar point set, and pose_Fj is the j-th candidate estimated pose of the current frame.

S704, determining a sum of quantized values of the Y transformed laser radar point sets as a quantized value of a j-th estimated pose of the current frame; wherein, 1≤j≤Y.

Specifically, when the mobile robot determines the quantized value of the j-th candidate estimated pose of the current frame, it determines the ratio of the number of internal points and the number of external points in the i-th transformed laser radar point set, and judges whether the ratio is less than the second preset threshold, and then according to the judgment result, determines the quantized value of the i-th transformed laser radar point set, and then traverses the Y transformed laser radar point sets. At this time, the Y quantized values corresponding to the Y transformed laser radar point sets can be determined. The Y quantized values are accumulated and summed to obtain the corresponding result, which is determined as the quantized value of the j-th candidate estimated pose of the current frame.

For example, the quantized value of the j-th candidate estimated pose of the current frame may be determined by the following formula:

${\mathrm{score}}_j=\sum _{i=0}^Y\mathrm{ICPscore}\left({\mathrm{KF}}_i,F_j,{\mathrm{pose}}_{\mathrm{KFi}},{\mathrm{pose}}_{\mathrm{Fj}}\right),$

where KF_i is the i-th transformed laser radar point set, F_j is the laser radar point set of the current frame, pose_KFi is the candidate estimated pose of the i-th transformed laser radar point set, pose_Fj is the j-th candidate estimated pose of the current frame, score_j is the quantized value of the j-th candidate estimated pose of the current frame, score(KF_i,F_j, pose_KFi,pose_Fj) is the quantized value of the i-th transformed laser radar point set corresponding to the j-th candidate estimated pose of the current frame.

It should be noted that the above process is the overall process of determining the quantized value of the j-th candidate estimated pose corresponding to the current frame. For each candidate estimated pose, Y key frames need to be traversed, and the sum of the quantized values of Y transformed laser radar point sets corresponding to the Y key frames is taken as the quantized value of the candidate estimated pose. By traversing each candidate estimated pose of the current frame, the Y quantized values corresponding to the Y estimated poses of the current frame can be determined. By comparing the Y quantized values of the current frame, the maximum quantized value of the current frame is obtained.

Optionally, if the maximum quantized value is greater than a third preset threshold, the gyroscope data of the mobile robot is corrected according to the candidate estimated pose information corresponding to the maximum quantized value.

Specifically, after the maximum quantized value of the current frame is determined, the maximum quantized value is compared with the third preset threshold. When the maximum quantized value is greater than the third preset threshold, the gyroscope data of the mobile robot is corrected according to the candidate estimated pose information corresponding to the maximum quantized value.

In the mobile robot gyroscope data correction method provided by the above embodiment, the mobile robot determines, according to the number of internal points and the number of external points in the i-th transformed laser radar point set, the ratio between the number of internal points and the number of external points corresponding to the i-th transformed laser radar point set, then judges whether the ratio is less than the second preset threshold to obtain the corresponding judgment result, and determines the quantized value of the i-th transformed laser radar point set according to the judgement result. The quantized values of the Y transformed laser radar point sets are obtained by traversing Y transformed laser radar point sets, and the sum of the Y quantized values is determined as the quantized value of the j-th candidate estimated pose. Then, the Y candidate estimated poses of the current frame are traversed to obtain the corresponding Y quantized values, and the maximum quantized value is determined therein. The maximum quantized value is compared with the third preset threshold. When the maximum quantized value is greater than the third preset threshold, the gyroscope is corrected according to the estimated pose information corresponding to the maximum quantized value. Since the mobile robot can better determine the relationship between the number of internal points and the number of external points by determining the ratio of the number of internal points to the number of external points in the transformed radar point set, and by comparing the ratio with the second preset threshold, so as to determine the quantized value of the i-th transformed laser radar point set more accurately, and add the quantized values of the Y transformed laser radar point sets, which makes the determination of the quantized value of the j-th estimated pose more accurate, which is convenient for more accurate correction of gyroscope data.

In the mobile robot gyroscope data correction method provided by the present embodiment, the mobile robot first performs rotation translation transformation operation on the laser radar point sets of Y key frames, obtains Y transformed laser radar point sets, and determines the number of internal points and the number of external points of each transformed laser radar point set according to each transformed laser radar point set, the laser radar point set of current frame and the first preset threshold. Then, according to the number of internal points and the number of external points in each transformed laser radar point set, the quantized value of each candidate estimated pose in the current frame is determined. According to the number of internal points and the number of external points in the transformed laser radar point set, the quantized value of each candidate estimated pose of the current frame can be accurately determined, which makes the mobile robot more accurate in determining the optimal pose of the current frame, thus greatly improving the accuracy of the gyroscope data correction and greatly improving the robustness of the system.

Optionally, the modified estimation angle of the current frame can be determined by the following formula,
