Method and system for positioning an autonomous vehicle on a navigation map

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are a method and system for positioning an autonomous vehicle on a navigation map. The method includes positioning the autonomous vehicle on the navigation map, including receiving the navigation map, an approximate position and an approximate orientation of the autonomous vehicle on the navigation map, and an environmental field of view (FOV) of the autonomous vehicle and determining a first road boundary based on the navigation map and the approximate position of the autonomous vehicle, and a second road boundary based on the environmental FOV and the approximate orientation of the autonomous vehicle, further determining at least one of an angular deviation and a lateral deviation between the first road boundary and the second road boundary, and positioning the autonomous vehicle on the navigation map by minimizing at least one the angular deviation and the lateral deviation.
