The invention provides a positioning method and
system based on a
visible light communication technology, and particularly relates to the technical field of indoor
visible light positioning. According to the method, a plurality of visible light emitters emit modulated light signals, the modulated light signals are received by a prismatic table
phased array receiving terminal, the terminal is provided with a plurality of receiving surfaces, and each receiving surface comprises a plurality of
light detection units. And multi-stage differential
noise reduction
processing is carried out on the electric signals output by the
light detection units of the receiving surfaces, the multi-stage differential
noise reduction
processing comprises first-stage differential suppression of local
noise in the receiving surfaces and second-stage differential suppression of reflected light interference between the receiving surfaces, and a
light intensity response value is obtained. The distance between the terminal and each
transmitter is calculated through filtering
processing and a distance calculation model based on a
light intensity response value, and then the position of the terminal is determined by using a multilateral positioning
algorithm, so that
centimeter-level precision positioning in an electromagnetic sensitive environment is realized, and
electromagnetic interference and explosion-proof risks are avoided.
