This invention discloses a three-dimensional angle-of-arrival (AOA) positioning method and
system based on geometric center intersection positioning. The method first establishes a three-dimensional AOA
positioning system model based on geometric center intersection, expressing the
azimuth and elevation angles as nonlinear functions related to the target distance. Second, it establishes three-dimensional AOA positioning rules based on the inscribed sphere center. At each measurement node, two planes are extended based on the two angles, and the distance from any point in space to these planes is calculated. Finally, based on the definition of the inscribed sphere of a three-dimensional
tetrahedron, the inscribed sphere center of the geometric body enclosed by these geometric planes is obtained as the estimated target position. Simultaneously, based on the
radius of the inscribed sphere obtained at the same time, the
noise variance of the current angle measurement is calculated. The
system includes a
system model construction module, a plane extension module, and a target position
estimation module. This invention achieves high performance with extremely
low complexity, is suitable for three-dimensional AOA positioning scenarios, and has a wide range of applications.
