随着社会的发展,网络和通信技术、图形图像处理技术和计算机技术的进步,虚拟现实(Virtual Reality)这一可以创建和体验虚拟世界的计算机仿真系统,受到越来越多的青睐,成为人类一种新的交流方式。虚拟现实最重要的特点就是具有良好的交互性和沉浸感,而交互和提供沉浸感的主要技术则依赖于高精度的空间定位,这样才能为用户提供更好的虚实无缝结合的体验。With the development of society, the advancement of network and communication technology, graphic image processing technology and computer technology, Virtual Reality, a computer simulation system that can create and experience virtual worlds, has become more and more popular and become human. A new way of communication. The most important feature of virtual reality is that it has good interactivity and immersion. The main technology of interaction and immersion relies on high-precision spatial positioning, so as to provide users with a better experience of seamless integration.
目前空间定位技术主要包括:基于GNSS(全球导航卫星系统)的各类定位技术、不基于RSSI(接收信号强度)的射频定位技术、基于RSSI的射频定位技术以及CV定位技术等。At present, the spatial positioning technology mainly includes: various positioning technologies based on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), radio frequency positioning technology based on RSSI (received signal strength), radio frequency positioning technology based on RSSI, and CV positioning technology.
1、基于GNSS的定位技术包括美国的GPS,俄罗斯的GLONASS,欧盟的GALILEO和中国的北斗。由于GNSS自身的精度有限,延迟较大,后来又衍生出了RTK、差分定位等技术。这些基于GNSS的定位技术应用广泛,但由于卫星信号穿透力很差,几乎为0,因此在楼群密集的地方对于定位精度影响很大,难以在室内进行精确定位。1. GNSS-based positioning technologies include GPS in the United States, GLONASS in Russia, GALILEO in the European Union, and Beidou in China. Due to the limited accuracy of GNSS itself, the delay is large, and later developed RTK, differential positioning and other technologies. These GNSS-based positioning technologies are widely used, but due to the poor penetration of satellite signals, they are almost zero. Therefore, in the densely populated areas, the positioning accuracy is greatly affected, and it is difficult to accurately locate indoors.
2、不基于RSSI的射频定位技术中的代表技术为UWB定位,UWB定位是使用TOA,TDOA,AOA等方法进行三角测量,基本可以理解 为把GNSS定位技术应用到室内,把一些已知的位置点或固定设施作为已知位置标记点。该类定位技术在理想实验环境中定位精度为5CM左右,但在环境复杂的实际应用场景中,精度往往要低很多,因为场景的复杂,以及人群的众多都会对信号产生很大的影响,比如多径效应,从而使定位精度严重降低。2. The representative technology in the RF-based positioning technology that is not based on RSSI is UWB positioning. UWB positioning is triangulation using TOA, TDOA, AOA, etc., which is basically understandable. In order to apply GNSS positioning technology to the interior, some known location points or fixed facilities are used as known location markers. The positioning accuracy of this kind of positioning technology is about 5CM in the ideal experimental environment. However, in practical application scenarios with complex environments, the accuracy is often much lower, because the complexity of the scene and the crowds will have a great impact on the signal, such as Multipath effect, which makes the positioning accuracy seriously reduced.
3、基于RSSI的射频定位技术目前包括WiFi定位技术,蓝牙定位技术和苹果公司的iBeacon定位技术。这些技术都是以RSSI与距离成反比为基础,即离基站(比如一个WiFi接入点)越近,RSSI就越高,越远RSSI就越小。但是在实际应用场景中引起RSSI变化的因素不计其数,包括障碍物遮挡,无线信号的极化方向,天线的各向异性等等。通过这类技术我们只能判断目标物体是否在信号覆盖范围内,并不能准确的确定目标物体的具体位置信息。3. The RSSI-based radio frequency positioning technology currently includes WiFi positioning technology, Bluetooth positioning technology and Apple's iBeacon positioning technology. These techniques are based on the inverse of RSSI and distance, that is, the closer the base station (such as a WiFi access point), the higher the RSSI and the smaller the RSSI. However, there are countless factors that cause RSSI changes in practical application scenarios, including obstacle occlusion, polarization direction of wireless signals, antenna anisotropy, and so on. Through this kind of technology, we can only judge whether the target object is within the signal coverage, and can not accurately determine the specific location information of the target object.
4、CV定位技术,这类技术虽然精度高,但是定位成本较高,而且如果一个定位区域内同时有多个目标物体移动或存在,定位精度就会骤降,并且具有弱ID缺点,即多个目标物体中可能存在部分或全部目标物体无法识别定位的现象。4, CV positioning technology, although this type of technology has high precision, but the positioning cost is high, and if a plurality of target objects move or exist at the same time in a positioning area, the positioning accuracy will drop sharply, and has the disadvantage of weak ID, that is, There may be some phenomena in the target object that some or all of the target objects cannot recognize the positioning.
射频识别技术(Radio Frequency Identification,RFID)从20世纪80年代开始逐步发展成一项自动识别技术,它通过射频信号自动识别目标对象并获取相关数据,识别工作不需要人工干预,同时其可以识别高速运动物体并可以识别多个RFID标签,操作方便快捷。目前在物联网、虚拟现实、身份识别、生产监控等多个领域广泛应用。Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has gradually evolved into an automatic identification technology since the 1980s. It automatically recognizes target objects and acquires relevant data through RF signals. The identification work does not require manual intervention, and it can recognize high-speed motion. The object can identify multiple RFID tags, which is convenient and quick to operate. It is widely used in many fields such as Internet of Things, virtual reality, identity recognition, and production monitoring.

所述RFID标签可以是任何适合尺寸或规格的RFID标签,所述定位单元的一个或多个RFID标签的识别范围可完全覆盖也可部分覆盖所述定位装置。在本发明一实施例中,所述RFID标签为中高频/超高频RFID标签或中高频/超高频无源RFID标签,此处可以理解的是,中高频RFID标签的工作频率为3MHz~30MHz,超高频RFID标签的工作频率为860MHz~960MHz。在本发明一优选实施例中,采用13.54MHz高频无源RFID标签或866MHz/902MHz超高频无源RFID标签,这些无源RFID标签受环境因素的影响小,成本低,抗干扰性强,使用寿命长。当然,在实际应用中,可根据实际需要采用其他工作频率的中高频或超高频RFID标签。需要特别说明的是,上述RFID标签的尺寸和规格只是示例性的说明,并不用于限制本发明,任何合理地、可实现的RFID标签尺寸和规格均落入本发明的保护范围。The RFID tag may be any suitable size or size of RFID tag, and the identification range of one or more RFID tags of the positioning unit may completely cover or partially cover the positioning device.

It can be understood that the uniform distribution refers to the same distance between each RFID tag in the positioning unit, and the non-uniform distribution It means that the distance between each RFID tag in the positioning unit is not the same or not exactly the same. The selection of the RFID tag distribution mode is related to the positioning accuracy and the positioning cost requirement. In order to make the coverage of the RFID tag have no blind zone and achieve all-round seamless high-precision positioning, the uniform distribution mode is usually selected; but in practical applications, In some areas, the coverage of RFID tags may not be needed. In the case that the accuracy requirements can be met, in order to reduce the cost, a non-uniform distribution mode may be selected, and even a distribution mode may be customized according to the actual application requirements of the user. Of course, the arrangement distance between the RFID tags can also be determined according to the required positioning effect and accuracy. Generally, the distance between the RFID tags does not exceed 1 m, and preferably, the distance between the RFID tags is greater than Its size is 3 times.
