The invention relates to a
satellite map matching and positioning method and device based on a road similarity space. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, constructing a
data acquisition system to generate a local aerial view of multi-
modal space-time fusion, and then generating a global
satellite road similarity map and a BEV road similarity map through road
similarity analysis. The initial position of the unmanned vehicle is determined through comparison of a local aerial view and an initial
satellite area, an initial BEV sensing result is obtained, a scanning matching strategy is adopted to be matched with a global satellite road similarity map, a matching degree
score matrix around the initial position is obtained, and the highest
score position is selected as a posterior position. A current priori position is obtained from a posterior position of a previous moment in combination with a
relative motion amount predicted by a
speedometer, a current BEV road similarity graph and a corresponding satellite similarity graph block are scanned and matched at the current priori position, a current matching degree fractional matrix is obtained, and finally a
satellite image map matching result is obtained according to a
particle filtering algorithm and the matrix. By adopting the method, the
satellite image matching and positioning accuracy can be improved.
