Abstract

A method, an apparatus and a storage medium for evacuating a person around an autonomous vehicle are proposed. The method includes: obtaining data about surrounding of the autonomous vehicle during the driving of the autonomous vehicle; recognizing a person with onlooker intention within a predetermined range around the autonomous vehicle according to the data obtained; evacuating the person with onlooker intention in a predetermined manner. The technical solution may be applied to ensure normal driving of the autonomous vehicle.

Claims (35)

1. A method for evacuating a person around an autonomous vehicle, comprising:

obtaining data about surrounding of the autonomous vehicle acquired by at least one of a camera or a radar mounted on the autonomous vehicle during the driving of the autonomous vehicle;

recognizing a person with onlooker intention within a predetermined range around the autonomous vehicle after determining, through analyzing the data obtained, that a duration that the person is staying within the predetermined range around the autonomous vehicle is longer than a first predetermined period; and

evacuating the person with onlooker intention in a predetermined manner,

wherein before performing the above obtaining, recognizing and evacuating actions, judging whether a duration that the autonomous vehicle is driving at a speed lower than a predetermined threshold is longer than a second predetermined period,

performing the above obtaining, recognizing and evacuating actions in response to determining that the duration that the autonomous vehicle is driving at the speed lower than the predetermined threshold is longer than the second predetermined period.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the camera comprises a binocular camera and a monocular camera, and the radar comprises an ultrasonic radar and a laser radar.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining data about surrounding of the autonomous vehicle comprises:

obtaining data about surrounding of the autonomous vehicle in real time.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein evacuating the person with onlooker intention in a predetermined manner comprises:

evacuating the person with onlooker intention by at least one of playing a voice, or displaying text on a screen of the autonomous vehicle.

5. A computer device, comprising:

a memory;

a processor; and

a computer program which is stored on the memory and runs on the processor;

wherein the processor, upon executing the program, implements a method for evacuating a person around an autonomous vehicle, wherein the method comprises:

obtaining data about surrounding of the autonomous vehicle acquired by at least one of a camera or a radar mounted on the autonomous vehicle during the driving of the autonomous vehicle;

recognizing a person with onlooker intention within a predetermined range around the autonomous vehicle after determining, through analyzing the data obtained, that a duration that the person is staying within the predetermined range around the autonomous vehicle is longer than a first predetermined period; and

evacuating the person with onlooker intention in a predetermined manner,

wherein before performing the above obtaining, recognizing and evacuating actions, judging whether a duration that the autonomous vehicle is driving at a speed lower than a predetermined threshold is longer than a second predetermined period,

performing the above obtaining, recognizing and evacuating actions in response to determining that the duration that the autonomous vehicle is driving at the speed lower than the predetermined threshold is longer than the second predetermined period.

6. The computer device according to claim 5 , wherein the camera comprises a binocular camera and a monocular camera, and the radar comprises an ultrasonic radar and a laser radar.

7. The computer device according to claim 5 , wherein obtaining data about surrounding of the autonomous vehicle comprises:

obtaining data about surrounding of the autonomous vehicle in real time.

8. The computer device according to claim 5 , wherein evacuating the person with onlooker intention in a predetermined manner comprises:

evacuating the person with onlooker intention by at least one of playing a voice, or displaying text on a screen of the autonomous vehicle.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, wherein the program, when executed by a processor, implements a method for evacuating a person around an autonomous vehicle, wherein the method comprises:

obtaining data about surrounding of the autonomous vehicle acquired by at least one of a camera or a radar mounted on the autonomous vehicle during the driving of the autonomous vehicle;

recognizing a person with onlooker intention within a predetermined range around the autonomous vehicle after determining, through analyzing the data obtained, that a duration that the person is staying within the predetermined range around the autonomous vehicle is longer than a first predetermined period; and

evacuating the person with onlooker intention in a predetermined manner,

wherein before performing the above obtaining, recognizing and evacuating actions, judging whether a duration that the autonomous vehicle is driving at a speed lower than a predetermined threshold is longer than a second predetermined period,

performing the above obtaining, recognizing and evacuating actions in response to determining that the duration that the autonomous vehicle is driving at the speed lower than the predetermined threshold is longer than the second predetermined period.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the camera comprises a binocular camera and a monocular camera, and the radar comprises an ultrasonic radar and a laser radar.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein evacuating the person with onlooker intention in a predetermined manner comprises:

evacuating the person with onlooker intention by at least one of playing a voice, or displaying text on a screen of the autonomous vehicle.
