[0041] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle positioning method described above can be applied to the application scenario shown in FIG1 , but is not limited thereto. FIG1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a vehicle positioning method according to an embodiment of the present application. In the application scenario shown in FIG1 , a vehicle 10 and a roadside device 20 can communicate with a server 40 via a network 30 . The vehicle 10 described above can include, but is not limited to, a variety of different types of sensors, such as cameras, lidars, RTK positioning sensors, and communication devices, and the roadside device 20 can include, but is not limited to, a single type of sensor and communication device.

[0042] In the above operating environment, the present application provides a vehicle positioning method as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 is a flow chart of the vehicle positioning method according to Example 1 of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following steps:
[0043] Step S202: Acquire first perception information sent by the vehicle and second perception information sent by a road-side device, wherein the road-side device is located on the road on which the vehicle is traveling.
[0044] The above-mentioned first perception information may be information perceived by the vehicle. Optionally, environmental information around the vehicle may be obtained through sensors on the vehicle, wherein the sensors on the vehicle may include cameras, lidars, RTK positioning and other sensors. The environmental information around the vehicle may include information such as the position, speed, shape of other vehicles around the vehicle, as well as information such as the position, speed, posture of the vehicle itself.
[0045] The above-mentioned second perception information can be the perception information collected by the road-side equipment. Specifically, it can include environmental information within the road section where the vehicle is currently traveling, such as lane lines, traffic signs, road conditions, etc., as well as information such as the position, speed and behavior of other vehicles and pedestrians on the road section.
[0046] In an optional embodiment, the position, speed, shape of other vehicles around the vehicle, as well as the position, speed, posture and other information of the vehicle itself can be obtained by various sensors such as cameras, lidars, and RTK positioning on the vehicle, which is also known as first perception information. Furthermore, the lane lines, traffic signs, road conditions and other information within the intelligent connected road section where the vehicle is located can be obtained by sensors such as cameras and lidars, as well as the position, speed and behavior of other vehicles and pedestrians on the road section, which is also known as second perception information. Furthermore, the obtained first perception information and the obtained second perception information can be uploaded to the cloud, where the data can be processed to achieve precise positioning of the vehicle.
[0047] Step S204: Based on the first acquisition time of the first perception information and the second acquisition time of the second perception information, the first perception information and the second perception information are temporally and spatially aligned to obtain aligned first perception information and aligned second perception information.
[0048] The first acquisition time mentioned above may be the time when the vehicle perceives the first perception information. To facilitate uploading the first acquisition time to the cloud, the first acquisition time may be used as the timestamp of the first perception information. Similarly, the second acquisition time may be used as the timestamp of the second perception information.
[0049] In an optional embodiment, a Transformer architecture, or a spatiotemporal prediction deep model of an architecture such as caffe, PyTorch, or Tensorflow can be used to take the first perception information and the timestamp corresponding to the first perception information, and the second perception information and the timestamp corresponding to the second perception information as input, thereby outputting the first perception information and the second perception information aligned to the same timestamp, i.e., the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information. Optionally, the above method helps to compensate for communication delays, thereby obtaining more accurate results in the collaborative positioning process using the first perception information collected by the vehicle and the second perception information collected by the roadside device.
[0050] Step S206: Position the vehicle based on the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information to obtain a positioning result of the vehicle.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, after obtaining the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information, the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information can be fused, and the fusion result can be converted into accurate positioning information of the vehicle in the intelligent connected road section, thereby realizing collaborative positioning using the vehicle side and the road side, and improving the accuracy of vehicle positioning, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of autonomous driving vehicles in application scenarios such as path planning and control strategies of vehicle autonomous driving systems.
[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, first perception information sent by a vehicle and second perception information sent by a roadside device are obtained; based on the first acquisition time of the first perception information and the second acquisition time of the second perception information, the first perception information and the second perception information are temporally and spatially aligned to obtain aligned first perception information and aligned second perception information; based on the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information, the vehicle is positioned to obtain a positioning result of the vehicle. It is easy to notice that by temporally and spatially aligning the first perception information and the second perception information and using the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information to position the vehicle, compensation for communication delay is achieved, so that in the process of collaborative positioning using the first perception information collected by the vehicle and the second perception information collected by the roadside device, a more accurate positioning result can be obtained, thereby improving the vehicle positioning accuracy, thereby solving the technical problem of low vehicle positioning accuracy in related technologies.
[0053] In the above embodiment of the present application, based on the first acquisition time of the first perception information and the second acquisition time of the second perception information, the first perception information and the second perception information are temporally and spatially aligned to obtain the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information, including: respectively extracting the first perception information and the second perception information to obtain the first perception feature of the first perception information and the second perception feature of the perception information; respectively encoding the first acquisition time and the second acquisition time to obtain the first time feature of the first acquisition time and the second time feature of the second acquisition time; performing temporal and spatial alignment based on the first perception feature, the second perception feature, the first time feature and the second time feature to obtain the aligned first perception feature and the aligned second perception feature; determining the aligned first perception information based on the aligned first perception feature, and determining the aligned second perception information based on the aligned second perception feature.
[0054] In an optional embodiment, after acquiring the first and second perception information, a deep neural network, such as a convolutional neural network or a point cloud processing network, may be used to extract features from the first and second perception information. Optionally, the extracted features may include edges, textures, shapes, key points, and other features. Optionally, the first and second perception features may be uploaded to the cloud via vehicle-to-road communication, thereby achieving spatiotemporal alignment and feature fusion.
[0055] Furthermore, the first acquisition time and the second acquisition time can be encoded respectively to obtain the first time feature of the first acquisition time and the second time feature of the second acquisition time. In this way, in the process of performing the spatiotemporal alignment operation using the spatiotemporal prediction depth model, not only the first perception information collected by the vehicle side and the second perception information collected by the road side equipment are considered, but also the first acquisition time corresponding to the first perception information and the second acquisition time corresponding to the second perception information are considered, thereby realizing compensation for communication delay and improving the accuracy of vehicle positioning.
[0056] In the above embodiment of the present application, spatiotemporal alignment is performed based on the first perceptual feature, the second perceptual feature, the first time feature, and the second time feature to obtain the aligned first perceptual feature and the aligned second perceptual feature, including: splicing the first perceptual feature, the second perceptual feature, the first time feature, and the second time feature to obtain a spliced feature; and predicting the aligned first perceptual feature and the aligned second perceptual feature based on the spliced feature, wherein the aligned first perceptual feature and the aligned second perceptual feature correspond to the same acquisition time.
[0057] In an optional embodiment, after obtaining the first perception feature, the second perception feature, the first time feature, and the second time feature, the obtained first perception feature and the first time feature, and the second time feature and the second perception feature can be spliced together, or the first perception feature and the second time feature, and the second time feature and the first perception feature can be spliced together to generate a corresponding time series, and this time series can be determined as the spliced feature. Furthermore, the aligned first perception feature and the aligned second perception feature can be predicted based on the time feature, thereby compensating for communication delay and improving the accuracy of vehicle positioning.
[0058] In the above embodiment of the present application, the vehicle is positioned based on the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information to obtain a positioning result of the vehicle, including: fusing the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information to obtain fused information; and positioning the vehicle based on the fused information to obtain a positioning result of the vehicle.
[0059] The above-mentioned fusion information may be the first perception information and the second perception information after time alignment.
[0060] The above positioning result may be the current location of the vehicle.
[0061] In an optional embodiment, the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information can be spliced together using a related multimodal deep learning model, and the spliced results can be fused to obtain fused information, thereby enhancing the perception capability of the vehicle positioning system, optimizing the positioning results, and improving the accuracy of the positioning results. The multimodal deep learning model herein can be a model provided in the relevant art, and this application does not specifically limit this.
[0062] In the above embodiment of the present application, the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information are fused to obtain fused information, including: determining the point cloud data and visual data in the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information; and fusing the point cloud data and the visual data to obtain fused information.
[0063] The above-mentioned point cloud data can be the perception information collected by the laser radar on the vehicle in the aligned first perception information, and the perception information collected by the laser radar on the intelligent connected road section where the vehicle is located in the aligned second perception information.
[0064] The above-mentioned visual data can be the perception information collected by the camera on the vehicle in the aligned first perception information, and the perception information collected by the camera on the intelligent connected road section where the vehicle is located in the aligned second perception information.
[0065] In an optional embodiment, when the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information are fused, the point cloud data collected by the lidar on the vehicle and the visual data collected by the camera on the vehicle can be determined from the aligned first perception information, and the point cloud data collected by the lidar on the intelligent connected road section where the vehicle is located and the visual data collected by the camera on the intelligent connected road section where the vehicle is located can be determined from the aligned second perception information, so that the point cloud data and visual data collected by different devices can be fused, and ultimately the accuracy of the positioning results can be improved.
[0066] In the above embodiments of the present application, point cloud data and visual data are fused to obtain fusion information, including: converting point cloud data to a preset space to obtain point cloud features, and converting visual data to a preset space to obtain visual features; encoding point cloud features and visual features to obtain fusion features; and determining fusion information based on the fusion features.
[0067] The aforementioned preset space may be a BEV (Bird's Eye View) feature layer.
[0068] In an optional embodiment, the point cloud data and visual data can be converted to the BEV feature layer through a related multimodal deep learning model to obtain point cloud features and visual features. Furthermore, the BEV feature layer can be used to encode the point cloud features and visual features to obtain fusion features. Optionally, after obtaining the fusion features, corresponding fusion information can be determined based on the fusion features, that is, the first perception information and the second perception information after time alignment are obtained, so that the fusion information can be used to determine the positioning result of the vehicle.
[0069] In the above embodiments of the present application, based on the first acquisition time of the first perception information and the second acquisition time of the second perception information, the first perception information and the second perception information are temporally and spatially aligned to obtain the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information, including: preprocessing the first perception information and the second perception information to obtain first preprocessed information and second preprocessed information; based on the first acquisition time of the first perception information and the second acquisition time of the second perception information, the first preprocessed information and the second preprocessed information are temporally and spatially aligned to obtain the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information.
[0070] The above-mentioned preprocessing can be used to eliminate interference factors such as noise, illumination changes, motion blur, etc. in the first perception information and the second perception information, thereby obtaining more accurate data through preprocessing.
[0071] In an optional embodiment, before performing spatiotemporal alignment on the first and second perception information, the first and second perception information may be preprocessed using techniques such as image enhancement, filtering, and denoising to remove interference factors such as noise, illumination variations, and motion blur from the first and second perception information, thereby obtaining first and second preprocessed information. Furthermore, the first and second preprocessed information may be spatiotemporally aligned based on the first acquisition time of the first and second acquisition times of the second perception information.
[0072] In the above embodiment of the present application, obtaining the first perception information sent by the vehicle includes: determining at least one vehicle traveling within a preset range of the vehicle; obtaining the perception information sent by at least one vehicle to obtain the first perception information.
[0073] The above-mentioned preset range can be set by those skilled in the art according to their needs, and the size of the preset range is not specifically limited in this application.
[0074] In an optional embodiment, a preset range can be determined first, and then at least one vehicle can be determined within the preset range, and the perception information collected by the laser radar and camera on the vehicle can be obtained, and the perception information collected by the laser radar and camera on the vehicle can be determined as the first perception information.
[0075] In the above embodiment of the present application, after positioning the vehicle based on the aligned first perception information and the aligned second perception information to obtain the positioning result of the vehicle, the method also includes: generating control information or a driving path of the vehicle based on the positioning result of the vehicle; and controlling the vehicle based on the control information or the driving path.
