Abstract

The present application discloses a positioning method and an apparatus, which relate to the technical field of intelligent driving. A specific implementation solution is: determining a first positioning result using point cloud data collected by lidar in combination with a laser point cloud reflection value map; constructing a constraint condition using the first positioning result, where the constraint condition is used to accelerate a convergence speed of solving a receiver position using observation data; performing GNSS-PPP positioning using the constraint condition in combination with observation data of a GNSS receiver to obtain a second positioning result. Using this solution, lidar positioning technology is combined with GNSS-PPP positioning technology to realize a purpose of not relying on a GNSS base station.
