The invention discloses a
laser positioning system and method based on a
point cloud map. The
laser positioning system comprises a map
point cloud generation module, a track plotting module, a
laser initial positioning state
estimation module, a laser matching module, a laser positioning state monitoring module and a laser repositioning module. According to the method, laser matching positioning is carried out based on the
point cloud map, the matching target is map point cloud, and compared with inter-frame matching, accumulated errors of laser positioning can be reduced; the track plotting is carried out based on the IMU and the wheel speed meter, when the laser positioning state is normal, the track plotting result is corrected, and the accuracy of state
estimation is improved; on the basis of IMU, a wheel speed meter and laser point
cloud data,
multiple input sources are provided for laser initial motion state
estimation and repositioning state estimation, a state
estimation result is output based on input source state decision, the
estimation result can still be output under the condition that part of sensors or methods fail, the laser positioning stability is improved, and the application range is widened.
