The invention relates to a multi-
sensor fusion positioning method suitable for a multi-axle steering vehicle, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, installing a plurality of sensors on a multi-axle all-wheel steering vehicle platform, collecting IMU data, a
laser radar real-time scanning
point cloud, a GNSS
signal, the reading of each wheel angle sensor, and the reading of each wheel speed meter, and carrying out the real-time scanning of the IMU data, the
laser radar real-time scanning
point cloud, the GNSS
signal, the reading of each wheel angle sensor, and the reading of each wheel speed meter; and the timestamps of all the collected signals are aligned. And S2, establishing a kinematic model of a to-be-estimated state, and performing
distortion removal on the
laser radar point cloud data according to the IMU data to realize motion compensation of the point cloud. And S3, establishing an
error state discrete model, a laser radar observation model, a multi-axis steering vehicle
kinematics observation model and a GNSS observation model. And S4, considering the influence caused by multi-wheel non-Ackerman steering, and providing a method for adaptively adjusting the observation
noise covariance of the multi-axle steering vehicle so as to ensure the correct weighting of
chassis observation data. And S5, fusing IMU, GNSS, laser radar, and rotation angle and rotation speed observation information of each wheel of the multi-axis steering vehicle, constructing a sequential iterative
error state Kalman filter, and obtaining an optimal positioning
estimation result through iterative calculation.
