The laser has good monochromaticity and directivity, and is one of the main technical means for realizing the accurate positioning of the target. The method is based on the method for measuring the arrival angle (AoA, angleofArrival) of the laser, and utilizes the characteristic of good laser directivity to measure the arrival angle of the laser, and then uses an AoA method to perform target positioning. According to the method, a plurality of laser sensitive components are arranged on a target, so that the time for laser to reach a sensor is measured respectively. And calculating the position and the motion trail of the target through the position difference of each sensor. Because of process limitation, the rotation speed period of a rotating motor of a laser emission base station is often unstable, so that the time for laser to reach a sensor fluctuates, and therefore, certain errors exist in the calculation of the laser arrival angle by using a constant motor rotation angle speed in the prior art, and the accuracy of a positioning result is further influenced.

However, the following defects still exist in the practical application of the technology:
1. the laser emission device is arranged in the scanning device, the laser receiving device is arranged at the position of the target object, and each device needs to be powered, so that the whole structure of the device is too complex.
2. When scanning and positioning are carried out, only one laser rotary scanning device is supported at the same time to carry out laser scanning on the monitoring area, and the operation efficiency is low.
3. The linear laser module, the photoelectric switch and the rotation angle adopted by the whole set of equipment are all based on the assumption that the two rotation angular velocities are unchanged, which shows that the measurement precision of the whole set of equipment is low, and the actual measurement precision of the whole set of equipment basically does not exceed 1', so that the whole set of equipment cannot be qualified for high-precision positioning service with the precision not lower than 1'.
4. When there are a plurality of measurement targets, there is a difficulty in that the measurement targets cannot be accurately identified.

step 1: at least two measuring stations 1 with known coordinates are provided, and the measuring points 2 are arranged in a common vision area of the at least two measuring stations 1.
In this step, the measuring station 1 and the measuring point 2 have a light reflecting function and a unique code, wherein the light reflecting function of the measuring station 1 and the light reflecting function of the measuring point 2 are realized by the light reflecting sheet 10, and the light reflecting material can reflect laser signals in an original way. The unique code of the measuring station 1 and the unique code of the measuring point 2 are bar codes or electronic labels arranged on the reflecting sheet 10, and when the reflecting sheet 10 is scanned, the identity of the measuring station 1 or the measuring point 2 can be identified by analyzing the unique codes. The unique code is equivalent to that of arranging identity cards for the measuring station 1 and the measuring point 2, so that the identity of the measuring point 2 and the identity of the measuring station 1 which scans the measuring point 2 together can be obtained clearly, and the data matching of the measuring station 1 and the measuring point 2 is realized, so that the positioning accuracy is ensured.
In this step, the number of the measuring points 2 is at least one, that is, the number of the measuring points 2 may be plural, but each measuring point 2 is located in a common vision area of at least two measuring stations 1, so as to position the measuring points 2.
Step 2: the measuring stations 1 are controlled to continuously rotate at a constant speed and continuously emit laser signals for scanning, a plurality of measuring stations 1 can scan simultaneously or sequentially, each measuring station 1 can scan to a measuring point 2 and other measuring stations 1 positioned in the scanning area, and the rotation angle, the laser signals reflected by the measuring stations 1 and the laser signals reflected by the measuring point 2 are continuously collected at high frequency.
In the step, the measuring station 1 is controlled to rotate at a low speed, and the acquisition frequency of high-frequency acquisition is 0.1-10MHz, so that the sampling frequency is improved and the identification precision of the measuring point 2 is improved on the premise of not affecting the processing speed.
Step 3: the rotation angle and the reflected laser signals are analyzed and processed, the identities of the measuring point 2 and the measuring station 1 are identified according to the unique codes, the central angle value of the measuring point 2 relative to the rotation platform 3 of the measuring station 1 scanned to the measuring point 2 is extracted, and then the relative positions of the measuring point 2 and the measuring station 1 scanned to the measuring point 2 are obtained according to the central angle value.
In this step, the measurement accuracy of the central angle of the measurement point 2 relative to the rotary platform 3 is not less than 1 ", when the measurement point 2 is scanned, the reflected laser signal collected at high frequency presents a regular variation characteristic, so that the reflection center of the measurement point 2 can be analyzed, and as shown in fig. 2, the calculation method of the central angle value of the measurement point 2 relative to the rotary platform 3 is as follows:
wherein,the central angle value of the measuring point 2 relative to the rotary platform 3; alpha and beta are rotation angle values when the measuring point 2 has laser reflection signals respectively; k is the number of sampling points under the minimum scale of the accumulated encoder when the encoder rotates for one circle, and the encoder is used for measuring the rotation angle; x, Y are the number of readings at the alpha and beta angle values, respectively.
Further, since each measuring point 2 is at least located in the common vision area of two measuring stations 1, when the measuring stations 1 rotate for multiple circles, each measuring point 2 will extract multiple central angle values, firstly performing adjustment processing on the multiple central angle values, and then obtaining the relative positions of the measuring point 2 and the measuring station 1 scanned to the measuring point 2 according to the central angle values after adjustment processing. The principle of adjustment treatment is that when the same measuring point 2 is scanned twice adjacently, the central angle value should be a constant 360 degrees. The measurement accuracy of the center angle can be improved through adjustment processing, and the positioning accuracy is further improved.

In this step, when the number of stations 1 for scanning the measurement point 2 together exceeds three, a final coordinate value of the measurement point 2 can be obtained by performing adjustment. Specifically, when the measuring point 2 is located in the common vision area of three, four or even more measuring stations 1, the final coordinate value of the measuring point 2 should be obtained through adjustment. The adjustment method is not limited to the following adjustment method: for example, when the number of stations 1 is 3, there are three kinds of combinations of 12, 13 and 23. At this time, coordinate values of three measuring points 2 are obtained, and adjustment is performed on the three coordinate values, so that a final coordinate value of the measuring station 1 is obtained.
