Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of multi-sensor fusion positioning, and more specifically to a multi-sensor fusion positioning device and method based on radar and integrated navigation. Background Art

[0002] Positioning technology plays a vital role in autonomous driving, and using a single sensor for positioning has certain limitations. For example, LiDAR positioning is based on matching a single-frame LiDAR point cloud with a global point cloud map, calculating the coordinate conversion relationship between the radar coordinate system and the map coordinate system, and obtaining positioning information in the map coordinate system. It has high positioning accuracy for scenes with rich features, but may experience mismatching of the laser point cloud or low positioning accuracy in open areas. Combined navigation positioning is based on GPS information from RTK devices and base stations, with the IMU providing attitude and obtaining positioning information of the current position through differential analysis. It has high positioning accuracy for open areas, but has low positioning accuracy for scenes where external objects such as tall buildings and trees block the antenna signal.

[0003] Fusion of data from different sensors can leverage the strengths of each sensor and effectively improve positioning. However, existing fusion positioning methods face two major challenges: improving positioning stability and increasing fusion positioning accuracy. Fusion positioning accuracy is primarily limited by the accuracy of the fused input data and the deviations between the different input data.

[0004] To this end, we provide a multi-sensor fusion positioning device and method based on radar and integrated navigation. Summary of the Invention

LiDAR positioning is based on matching a single-frame LiDAR point cloud with a global point cloud map fused with RTK information. RTK information is used to assist LiDAR initial positioning, eliminating the need to set additional initial parameters for LiDAR positioning and automatically obtaining positioning information in the map coordinate system. If LiDAR positioning is lost, RTK information can be used for re-positioning. Integrated navigation positioning uses GPS information from the device and base station, while the IMU provides attitude information, obtaining current positioning information through differential analysis. Fusion of LiDAR and integrated navigation positioning results within the allowable error range improves the stability and accuracy of fused positioning. If both LiDAR and integrated navigation positioning fail, the IMU and LiDAR data are fused, and the current positioning information is obtained and output as a fused positioning information based on SLAM technology.
