The first reflector 4 is a circular reflector and is used for measuring to obtain a conversion relation between a laser coordinate system and a total station coordinate system. The second reflector 5 is used for measuring and obtaining a conversion relation between the vehicle body coordinate system and the total station coordinate system. The total station 3 can be placed on the side surface of the automatic transport vehicle 1, and is close to one side of the first reflector 4 and the second reflector 5, so that the measurement is convenient, and when the total station 3 cannot measure the coordinate data of the required groups at one time in one position, the data of the corresponding groups can be measured in a station moving measurement mode. The placing position of the first reflector 4 is adjusted, so that at least two beams of laser light irradiate on the first reflector 4, and the boundary points of at least four first reflectors 4 are found out according to the intensity and position information of the reflected light in the 360-degree measurement process of the multi-line laser 2. As shown in fig. 2, at least three boundary points are selected according to the principle that a circle can be determined by three points, so that the coordinates of the circle center under the laser coordinate system can be accurately measured to represent the coordinate data of the first reflector 4 under the laser coordinate system, and the calibration precision is improved. The total station coordinate system, the laser coordinate system and the vehicle body coordinate system are all three-dimensional coordinate systems, the original point position of the coordinate system and the directions of coordinate axes are not limited, the total station coordinate system, the laser coordinate system and the vehicle body coordinate system can be selectively arranged according to actual needs, and the coordinate system is ensured to be unchanged in the process of one-time measurement and calibration.

The coordinates of the same group M and M' are in one-to-one correspondence, namely, the measurement results placed in the same geographic position. Similarly, the data of the three groups N and N 'can be obtained by measuring three second reflectors 5 placed in different collinearity, or by measuring one second reflector 5 at three different collinearity positions, and the coordinates of the same group N and N' are in one-to-one correspondence, that is, the measurement results placed at the same geographic position.

In the calibration process, the two lasers need to be calibrated respectively, so that the calibration accuracy is ensured. When necessary, the total station 3 can adopt a station-shifting measurement mode to carry out measurement, so that the calibration precision is improved.
