All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1, the figure is a flowchart of a vehicle positioning method provided in an embodiment of the present application. First, it should be noted that the vehicle positioning method provided by the present embodiment is applied to a vehicle, and the vehicle includes an on-vehicle sensor capable of identifying a road characteristic.
As shown in fig. 1, the vehicle positioning method provided in this embodiment includes:
s101: and acquiring road characteristics of the characteristic points on the vehicle driving path from the high-precision map to form a first characteristic set.
The vehicle travel path may be a travel path determined from a trip start point and a trip destination point of the vehicle. On the vehicle driving path, at least two characteristic points are included. In this embodiment, the feature points may be various types of intersections, landmarks, and the like, such as intersections, t-junctions, restaurants, shopping malls, schools, stations, bridges, and the like.
The road characteristics of the feature points include traffic signs, road surface characteristics, road surface conditions, traffic conditions, and the like in the vicinity of the feature points. As an example, the road feature of the feature point may be: stop line of intersection, line type of lane line, curvature of lane, intersection feature, stop prohibition sign, speed limit release sign, signal lamp, left turn, right turn, straight going, lane change, left side going, right side going, front construction, merging, front traffic accident, etc.
And the first feature set of the feature points comprises all road features of the feature points in the high-precision map.
It should be noted that the technical solution provided by the present embodiment is adopted for each feature point on the vehicle travel path. Each feature point corresponds to a first set of features. In the present embodiment, a case of any one feature point is described as an example only.
S102: and screening a first type of road features from the first feature set to form a second feature set.
The accuracy of identifying the road features of the feature points on the vehicle travel path by the vehicle-mounted sensor is limited, and all the road features of the feature points included in the first feature set may not be identified, and only a part of the road features may be identified. In order to realize high-precision positioning, the matching between the high-precision map feature points and the feature points detected by the vehicle-mounted sensor is completed according to the detection and identification results of the vehicle-mounted sensor on the road features, so that the influence of the road features which cannot be identified by the vehicle-mounted sensor on the accurate matching of the feature points is avoided, the step screens out the road features which can be identified by the vehicle-mounted sensor, namely the first road features from the first feature set, and the first road features form a second feature set. Furthermore, the road features included in the second feature set are all road features that can be identified based on the feature point vehicle-mounted sensor.
As an example, each road feature in the first feature set may have a confidence level, and the confidence level of each road feature indicates that the road feature can be reliably identified by the vehicle-mounted sensorTo other extents. For example, the feature recognition confidence threshold for an on-board sensor is TrIn the first feature set, the confidence coefficient is greater than the feature recognition confidence coefficient threshold value TrThe road characteristics of (1) are taken as first-class road characteristics, and a second characteristic set is formed by the first-class road characteristics.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle-mounted sensor includes, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following in combination: satellite positioning systems (GNSS), odometers, lane recognition systems, traffic sign recognition systems, and other road feature recognition systems.
Wherein the odometer includes, but is not limited to, any one or combination of more of the following: the device comprises a transmission system output shaft rotating speed sensor, a wheel speed sensor and a vehicle speed sensor;
the identification content of the lane identification system includes, but is not limited to, any one or combination of more of the following: lane line type, lane line curvature, lane-based offset, and lane-based heading bias;
the identification content of the traffic sign identification system includes, but is not limited to, any one or combination of more of the following: speed limit boards and traffic signs;
other road feature identification system identification content includes but is not limited to: water horse and portal frame.
S103: and identifying the road characteristics of the characteristic points on the vehicle running path by using the vehicle-mounted sensor to obtain a third characteristic set.
The confidence coefficient actually recognized by the vehicle-mounted sensor exceeds the feature recognition confidence coefficient threshold T for each road feature in the third feature setrThe road characteristic of (1).
S104: and comparing the second feature set with the third feature set, if the matching degree between the second feature set and the third feature set exceeds a first preset matching degree threshold value, obtaining the absolute position of the feature point by using the high-precision map, and obtaining the relative position of the vehicle and the feature point from a vehicle-mounted positioning system of the vehicle.
In order to determine whether the second feature set and the third feature set of the feature point are successfully matched, in this embodiment of the application, the matching degree of the second feature set and the third feature set corresponding to the feature point is compared with a first preset matching degree threshold. If the matching degree between the second feature set and the third feature set exceeds a first preset matching degree threshold value, that is, the second feature set and the third feature set of the feature points are successfully matched, the road features of the feature points detected by the vehicle-mounted sensor are similar to the road features of the feature points on the vehicle driving path on the high-precision map, that is, the road features are successfully matched.
When determining whether the second feature set and the third feature set of the feature points are successfully matched, no requirement is made on the consistency of the order of the road features in the second feature set and the third feature set.
As an example, the second feature set of the feature point is { L1, L2, L3, L4}, the third feature set is { L3, L1, L4}, and L1, L2, L3, and L4 represent different kinds of road features of the feature point, respectively. In the present example, the first preset matching degree threshold is 72%, and since the road features of the same category included in the second feature set and the third feature set occupy 75% of all the road feature categories in the second feature set, the matching degree between the feature point second feature set and the third feature set, which is 75%, exceeds the first preset matching degree threshold. And since the confidence of each road feature in the third feature set exceeds the feature recognition confidence threshold of the vehicle-mounted sensor, it can be determined that the second feature set is similar to the third feature set.
The second feature set of the feature points is similar to the third feature set, and the second feature set and the third feature set representing the feature points are successfully matched with the road features in the third feature set, and the feature points can be used for realizing high-precision positioning of the vehicle. As an example, the absolute position P of the feature point J in the high-precision map is acquiredJOn the other hand, the position of the feature point J obtained by an on-vehicle Positioning System of the vehicle, for example, a Global Positioning System (GPS) is not PJFurthermore, it can be seen that the vehicle obtained only by the on-vehicle positioning system is insufficient in positioning accuracy by the on-vehicle positioning systemThe vehicle W position must have an error. In order to overcome the positioning error of the vehicle W, the step also obtains the relative position delta P of the vehicle W and the characteristic point J from the vehicle-mounted positioning systemWJ,ΔPWJMay be used to acquire the absolute position of the vehicle W.
S105: and obtaining the absolute position of the vehicle according to the absolute position of the characteristic point and the relative position of the vehicle and the characteristic point.
As an optional implementation manner, S105 may specifically include:
s1051: and converting the relative position in a coordinate system of the absolute position of the characteristic point to obtain a first relative position of the vehicle and the characteristic point.
S1052: and moving the absolute position of the characteristic point to the first relative position to obtain the absolute position of the vehicle, wherein the absolute position of the vehicle comprises the longitudinal coordinate, the lateral coordinate and the heading of the vehicle.
Following the example in S104, the relative position Δ P of the vehicle W to the feature point JWJAbsolute position P at feature point JJIs converted to obtain a first relative position delta P 'of the vehicle W and the characteristic point J'WJ(ii) a The absolute position P of the feature point JJMoving a first relative position Δ P'WJObtaining an absolute position P of the vehicle WW. Relative to the position of the vehicle W directly obtained by the vehicle-mounted positioning system, the absolute position P of the vehicle W obtained by the vehicle positioning method provided by the embodiment of the applicationWThe precision is improved.
The vehicle positioning method provided by the embodiment of the application is provided above. The method includes the steps that road features in a first feature set are preliminarily screened based on the recognition accuracy of a vehicle-mounted sensor on the road features, a second feature set formed by the first type of road features is obtained, and the road features which cannot be recognized by the vehicle-mounted sensor are prevented from influencing accurate matching of the road features of feature points through screening. If the matching degree between the second feature set and the third feature set exceeds a first preset matching degree threshold value, the road features of the feature points detected by the vehicle-mounted sensor are similar to the road features of the feature points on the vehicle driving path on the high-precision map, the road features of the feature points are successfully matched, the absolute positions of the feature points and the relative positions of the vehicle and the feature points are obtained based on the feature points which are successfully matched, and the absolute position of the vehicle which is more accurate in positioning can be obtained. The method obtains the absolute position of the feature point based on the high-precision map, further obtains the absolute position of the vehicle, and effectively improves the accuracy of vehicle positioning compared with the prior art.
Because there may be several feature points on the vehicle travel path that are continuously adjacent and have highly similar road features. These neighboring feature points with highly similar road features may interfere with the road feature matching of the second feature set and the third feature set for the same feature point. For example, adjacent feature points K and F exist in sequence on the vehicle driving path, second feature sets corresponding to the feature points K and F are highly similar, and third feature sets corresponding to the feature points K and F are highly similar. If the second feature set of the feature point K is highly similar to the third feature set of the feature point F, the feature point F identified by the vehicle-mounted sensor is likely to be regarded as the feature point K on the vehicle driving path on the high-precision map, and the positioning precision of the vehicle is further influenced.
In order to avoid the problems, the application further provides another vehicle positioning method. The following describes in detail a specific embodiment of the vehicle positioning method with reference to the embodiments and the drawings.
Second embodiment
Referring to fig. 2, the figure is a flowchart of a vehicle positioning method provided in this embodiment.
As shown in fig. 2, the vehicle positioning method provided in this embodiment includes:
s201: and acquiring road characteristics of the characteristic points on the vehicle driving path from the high-precision map to form a first characteristic set.
S202: and screening a first type of road features from the first feature set to form a second feature set.
S203: and identifying the road characteristics of the characteristic points on the vehicle running path by using the vehicle-mounted sensor to obtain a third characteristic set.
In this embodiment, the implementation manners of S201 to S203 are respectively the same as the implementation manners of S101 to S103 in the foregoing embodiment, and for the detailed description of S201 to S203, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiment, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.
S204: and screening the characteristic points according to the road characteristics of the characteristic points, and removing the invalid characteristic points.
In the step, the adjacent feature points are screened and removed according to the matching degree of the road features of the adjacent feature points. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the adjacent feature points may be two adjacent feature points, or two or more feature points having an adjacent relationship.
As a first implementation manner, adjacent feature points may be screened and eliminated from the perspective of road feature matching degree of the high-precision map including the feature points. The method comprises the following specific steps:
and judging whether the matching degree between second feature sets respectively corresponding to adjacent feature points on the vehicle running path exceeds a second preset matching degree threshold value, if so, taking a first feature point passed by the vehicle in the adjacent feature points as an effective feature point, and rejecting the rest feature points except the effective feature point in the adjacent feature points.
In this embodiment, if the matching degree between the second feature sets respectively corresponding to the adjacent feature points exceeds a second preset matching degree threshold, it indicates that the adjacent feature points are adjacent feature points with highly similar road features. As an example, the second preset matching degree threshold may be 90%.
As an example, the matching degree between the second feature sets respectively corresponding to the feature points K and F adjacent to each other on the vehicle driving path is greater than a second preset matching degree threshold, that is, the road features in the second feature sets respectively corresponding to the feature points K and F are highly similar, the first feature point K where the vehicle passes is taken as an effective feature point, and the following steps S205 to S206 are continuously executed; the feature point F is eliminated as an invalid feature point, and S205 to S206 described below are not executed.
As a second implementation manner, adjacent feature points may be screened and rejected from the perspective of the road feature matching degree of the feature points actually recognized by the vehicle-mounted sensor. The method comprises the following specific steps:
and judging whether the matching degree between the third feature sets respectively corresponding to the adjacent feature points on the vehicle running path exceeds a second preset matching degree threshold value, if so, taking the first feature point passed by the vehicle in the adjacent feature points as an effective feature point, and rejecting the rest feature points except the effective feature point in the adjacent feature points.
And if the matching degree between the third feature sets respectively corresponding to the adjacent feature points exceeds a second preset matching degree threshold value, indicating that the adjacent feature points are mutually adjacent feature points with highly similar road features. As an example, the second preset matching degree threshold may be 90%.
As an example, the matching degree between the third feature sets respectively corresponding to the feature points M and N adjacent to each other on the vehicle driving path is greater than a second preset matching degree threshold, that is, the road features in the third feature sets respectively corresponding to the feature points M and N are highly similar. Taking the first characteristic point M passed by the vehicle as an effective characteristic point, and continuing to execute the following S205 to S206; the feature point N is eliminated as an invalid feature point, and the following S205 to S206 are not executed.
It is understood that S204 may also combine the above two implementation manners to screen and reject adjacent feature points. That is, adjacent feature points may be screened and rejected from the perspective of the road feature matching degree of the feature points included in the high-precision map and the perspective of the road feature matching degree of the feature points actually recognized by the in-vehicle sensor. Here, the description of this implementation is omitted, and reference may be made to the description in the foregoing two implementations of S204.
S205: and comparing the second feature set with the third feature set, if the matching degree between the second feature set and the third feature set exceeds a first preset matching degree threshold value, obtaining the absolute position of the feature point by using the high-precision map, and obtaining the relative position of the vehicle and the feature point from a vehicle-mounted positioning system of the vehicle.
S206: and obtaining the absolute position of the vehicle according to the absolute position of the characteristic point and the relative position of the vehicle and the characteristic point.
In this embodiment, the implementation manners of S205 and S206 are respectively the same as the implementation manners of S104 to S105 in the foregoing embodiment, and for the detailed description of S205 to S206, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiment, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.
The vehicle positioning method provided by the embodiment is described above. In the process of realizing high-precision positioning, the method screens the feature points according to the road features of the feature points and eliminates invalid feature points. Specifically, adjacent feature points with the matching degree between the second feature sets exceeding a second preset matching degree threshold value and/or adjacent feature points with the matching degree between the third feature sets exceeding the second preset matching degree threshold value are screened, a first feature point, through which a vehicle passes, in the adjacent feature points is reserved, and other feature points except for effective feature points in the adjacent feature points are removed. Therefore, the feature points with the height similar to the road feature of the second feature set of the first feature point after the first feature point in the adjacent feature points and/or the feature points with the height similar to the road feature of the third feature set of the first feature point after the first feature point in the adjacent feature points are filtered out, and the road feature mismatching between the second feature set of the feature points and the road feature of the third feature set is avoided. Therefore, the method improves the accuracy of the road characteristic matching of the second characteristic set and the third characteristic set of the characteristic points, further avoids the matching error of the characteristic points, and further ensures the accuracy of vehicle positioning.
Since there may be several feature points on the vehicle travel path that are adjacent and have similar road features. The feature points are close in position and similar in road features, and may interfere with road feature matching of the second feature set and the third feature set for the same feature point.
In order to avoid the problems and ensure the precision of vehicle positioning, the application further provides a vehicle positioning method. The following describes in detail a specific embodiment of the vehicle positioning method with reference to the embodiments and the drawings.
Third embodiment
Referring to fig. 3, it is a flowchart of a vehicle positioning method provided in this embodiment.
As shown in fig. 3, the vehicle positioning method provided in this embodiment includes:
s301: and acquiring road characteristics of the characteristic points on the vehicle driving path from the high-precision map to form a first characteristic set.
S302: and screening a first type of road features from the first feature set to form a second feature set.

In this embodiment, the implementation manners of S301 to S303 are respectively the same as the implementation manners of S101 to S103 in the foregoing embodiment, and for the detailed description of S301 to S303, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiment, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.
S304: and obtaining the confidence of each road feature in the third feature set of the feature points.
As a specific implementation manner, when the vehicle-mounted sensor identifies the road features of the feature points, the confidence of each road feature may be obtained. It is understood that, during the process that the vehicle passes through the feature points, the distances between the road features of the feature points and the vehicle-mounted sensors are changed continuously, and therefore, the confidence degrees of the identified road features are variable along with the change of time.
And the confidence degree of each road characteristic in the third characteristic set represents the confidence degree of each road characteristic in the third characteristic set. The higher the confidence level of a road feature, the higher its confidence level.

S305: and obtaining the confidence coefficient of the feature point according to the confidence coefficient of each road feature in the third feature set of the feature point.
In order to screen feature points that are adjacent to each other on the vehicle travel path and similar to the third feature set, in this embodiment, the confidence level of each road feature in the third feature set needs to be used to calculate the confidence level of the feature point corresponding to the third feature set. The confidence of the feature points can be obtained in the following manner:
s3051: and obtaining the average confidence of each road characteristic in the third characteristic set of the characteristic points in a preset time.
As an example, the vehicle-mounted sensor identifies road features of the feature points, and the confidence degrees of m road features in the third feature set of the feature points are obtained to be fc1(t),fc2(t),fc3(t)…fcm(T), the average confidence degrees of the m road characteristics in the preset time T are respectively fca1,fca2,fca3…fcam

In this embodiment, if the matching degree between the third feature sets respectively corresponding to the adjacent feature points exceeds a third preset matching degree threshold, it indicates that the road features of the third feature sets respectively corresponding to the adjacent feature points are similar. As an example, the third preset matching degree threshold may be 70%.
As an example, in the present embodiment, it may be determined whether the third feature sets of adjacent feature points are similar according to the number and the types of road features in the third feature set of adjacent feature points. For example, a third preset matching degree threshold Ts is preset, adjacent feature points a and B exist, and corresponding third feature sets are L respectivelyA3={L1,L2,L3,L4},LB3L1, L2, L5, L3. According to LA3And LB3It can be known that the number of road features in the third feature sets of the adjacent feature points a and B is the same, and the number of the same road features in each third feature set occupies 75% of the total number of the road features, so that the matching degree between the third feature sets corresponding to the adjacent feature points a and B is determined to be 75%. And comparing the similarity of the adjacent characteristic points A and B, which is 75%, with a third preset matching threshold Ts, and if the similarity exceeds Ts, determining that the third characteristic sets of the adjacent characteristic points A and B are similar.
In this embodiment, the confidence matching threshold is preset as the maximum matching degree for determining the confidence mismatch of adjacent feature points. If the matching degree between the corresponding confidences of the adjacent feature points exceeds a preset confidence matching threshold, the corresponding confidences of the feature points are matched with each other, and the corresponding confidences of the adjacent feature points are similar.
In this embodiment, the confidence degrees of the adjacent feature points may be differentiated and the absolute value may be taken, and the obtained value may be used as the matching degree of the confidence degrees of the adjacent feature points. For example, the confidence degrees of the adjacent feature points are differentiated and the absolute value is taken, and the absolute value result is matched with a preset confidence degree matching threshold TFA comparison is made to determine if the confidence levels of adjacent feature points are similar. For example, the confidence degrees of the adjacent feature points a and B are 78% and 91%, respectively, the absolute value result of the confidence difference between the adjacent feature points a and B is 13%, and the absolute value result of the confidence difference between the adjacent feature points a and B is 13% and the confidence degree matching threshold TFComparing, if the absolute value result exceeds TFIt can be determined that the confidence degrees of the adjacent feature points a and B are similar.
It is to be understood that the above-provided methods for determining the matching degrees of the third feature set corresponding to the adjacent feature points respectively and determining the matching degrees of the confidence degrees corresponding to the adjacent feature points respectively are only examples. In a specific implementation, the matching degree of the third feature set corresponding to the adjacent feature points respectively and the confidence degree matching degree corresponding to the adjacent feature points respectively may be determined in other manners. Here, the specific implementation manner of determining the third feature set matching degree corresponding to each of the adjacent feature points and determining the confidence degree matching degree corresponding to each of the adjacent feature points is not limited.

Specially for treating diabetesConfidence F of feature point AA78%, confidence F of feature point BB91%, confidence F of feature point CC79%, confidence F of feature point DD85 percent. Wherein, the confidence coefficient is the highest and exceeds a threshold value F of the confidence coefficientthreThe similar feature point of (2) is feature point B, so only feature point B is retained, and the remaining feature points A, C and D in the adjacent feature points are rejected.
For the retained feature point B, the following S308 to S309 are continuously performed; and the feature points A, C and D are eliminated as invalid feature points, and S308 to S309 described below are not executed.
S308: and comparing the second feature set with the third feature set, if the matching degree between the second feature set and the third feature set exceeds a first preset matching degree threshold value, obtaining the absolute position of the feature point by using the high-precision map, and obtaining the relative position of the vehicle and the feature point from a vehicle-mounted positioning system of the vehicle.
S309: and obtaining the absolute position of the vehicle according to the absolute position of the characteristic point and the relative position of the vehicle and the characteristic point.
