Abstract

A high precision position estimation method through a road shape classification-based map matching implemented by a high precision position estimation system of an autonomous vehicle includes classifying a road into a straight lane, a curved lane, and a clothoid curve lane by the lane matching between a sensor lane segment and a map lane segment, generating a movement amount value calculated by applying a geometric feature-based map matching or an optimization-based map matching to the classified lane as a covariance matrix, and calculating the latitude, longitude, and traveling direction of a vehicle to be estimated by combining the covariance matrix with sensor measurement values of a vehicle speed and a yaw rate by an extended Kalman filter.
