The invention discloses a road hidden danger positioning method and device based on a camera and a
radar, and the method comprises the steps: respectively obtaining the road image data collected by the camera and the
laser point cloud data collected by the
laser radar when an obstacle enters a monitored road region; performing spatial synchronization
processing on the road image data and the
laser point cloud data to respectively obtain synchronous image data and synchronous
point cloud data; and after the synchronous image data and the synchronous point
cloud data are fused, hidden danger positioning
processing is carried out on the fused data by adopting a
DBSCAN algorithm to obtain a road hidden danger position. According to the method, the road image data and the laser point
cloud data can be respectively acquired through the camera and the laser
radar, the two data are synchronized and then fused, and finally, the fused data are clustered to determine the hidden danger positioning position, so that the method is small in
processing data volume, can improve the processing efficiency, and is suitable for popularization and application. And the two kinds of data can be integrated for positioning processing, so that the positioning precision is improved.
