Description

A kind of indoor accurate position method of following multi-moving target
Technical field
The invention belongs to the wireless sensor network field, relate in particular to the indoor wireless sensor network technique.
Background technology
Along with the popularization of GPS (GPS), people more and more need a kind of location-based service service (claiming location-aware services again).These application comprise position navigation, location security monitoring, depend on the information stores of position, the man-machine interaction of location aware, fields such as Spatial Data Mining.For example, Nian Qing father and mother need know child's position (location security monitoring example) at any time; People enter the museum or the market needs system to finish guide or shopping guide's (position navigation example) automatically; People wish can transfer vibration (the man-machine interaction example of location aware) to from jingle bell automatically after mobile phone enters meeting room; Wish that inquiry is from its nearest resource, as (depending on the Information Access example of position) such as printers; Hope is inferred (the Spatial Data Mining examples) such as WC pans that possibility is in bad repair in the location records of certain period.
These location-aware services all have need a key support system---positioning system is position sensing system in other words.Though GPS has obtained widely using in location-based outdoor service, has two factors to stop its application in indoor environment: the one, owing to can't penetrating buildings, the wireless signal of GPS make it in indoor environment, be difficult to work; The 2nd, because the bearing accuracy of GPS is difficult to satisfy the demand of indoor service.The GPS bearing accuracy is several meters (adopting the civilian precision of differential technique is 5 meters), and main targets such as people, household, equipment are generally the size of meter level in indoor environment, in order to distinguish humanoid big wisp, the precision of positioning system wishes to reach decimetre following (being that error is less than 1dm), the accuracy limitations of GPS its application in indoor environment, so people be badly in need of a kind of can be applied to indoor, follow the tracks of a plurality of targets and the positioning system of exact position be provided.
Utilize difference time of arrival of super body ripple and other signals to come the principle of estimated position similar application to be arranged in the Cricket system of Chinese invention patent 01144415.0 and masschusetts, u.s.a Polytechnics.Chinese invention patent 01144415.0 utilizes ultrasonic emitting to cooperate the synchronous method of infrared ray to realize a kind of device of handwriting input, and this device can be surveyed the two-dimensional coordinate position of the employed pen of user on a plane handwriting pad.The time of arrival difference that the Cricket system also is based on super body ripple and radio frequency realizes locating.The reference point of this system fixed position transmits, and the positioning unit received signal that is connected with PDA or computing machine, and on PDA or computing machine, extrapolate the position, this pattern is called the passive positioning pattern.The target that in the Cricket system, is positioned (as the people) not only need to carry positioning unit and also need carry supporting with it computing machine or PDA could realize the location.In addition, computing machine that is connected with positioning unit in the Cricket system or PDA only know the position of oneself, if so the user thought that solution space target complete position also needs other (does not provide Cricket) device itself and step to collect data on each computing machine or the PDA.The system of passive positioning pattern also has a very important shortcoming to be because the system that makes of the restriction of condition simultaneously is not so good as static target to the bearing accuracy of moving target.In the system of passive positioning pattern, transmitter transmits may be at synchronization, for static target, shown in Fig. 2 (a), the different distance values that constantly detect from same transmitter are constant, and system determines that the position of target is the position of target reality really like this; For moving target, shown in Fig. 2 (b), because the distance value of corresponding different transmitters is constantly different, the position of determining according to these different distance value systems constantly often is not the position of target reality.In contrast, in the aggressive mode positioning system, the positioning unit that target is carried transmits, and the reference point received signal of fixed position, the position of target complete is by system's background devices unified calculation and management.In this pattern, because the signal of the object that is positioned that each reference read device receives all is from the same moment, no matter target is static or mobile, and the distance value that is used for position calculation all satisfies condition simultaneously, and the system that makes like this can provide close bearing accuracy to moving with static target.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of indoor accurate position method and system that adopted aggressive mode.
The system of our invention is a cover wireless sensor network, and its combined echocardiography ripple and radio-frequency technique realize locating.Different with the Cricket system, be a kind of active positioning system.The building block of this system and principle of work are as shown in Figure 3.

As can be seen from Figure 5 in order to overcome the restriction of ultrasonic signal on the direction zone, this positioning system has adopted the design of omni-directional transmitter to badge, and this transmitter is made up of 5 orthogonal sensors.1 yuan of coin and centimetre chi are the objects of reference as its size contrast among the figure.Be noted that sensor node need write the sensor coordination and the distance calculating method of (firing in other words) this positioning system in advance, 7. at this moment used linkage unit all adopts module.In write phase in advance, 7. each sensor is connected with module according to module explanation 8., and module parallel port 7. is connected to the parallel port of computing machine simultaneously, writes each sensor of back (except the connector) and can pull up isolated operation.When 7. module is moved as the part of connector, the parallel port need be pulled up, plug the connecting line of USB mouth, and be connected on the computer by serial by the converter (being called for short the USB-COM converter) of a USB commentaries on classics serial ports.
The chip of sensor node mainly comes from Max[1], Atmel[2] and Chipcon[3] etc. company.For example module microcontroller 4. adopts 8 AVR microcontroller Atmega128L[4 of Atmel company], sheet includes the Electrically Erasable Read Only Memory EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) of 4KB, in order to improve node storage data capability, this module the is external FLASH storer of a 512KB.That and for example the 3. middle radio-frequency transmissions chip of module adopts is the CC1000[5 of Chipcon company], its frequency of operation 433MHz, maximum data transfer rate 19.2Kb/s.The 1. middle ultrasonic emitting of module adopts the rectangular signal of 40KHz to drive.The performance index of sensor node are presented in the table 3.

2, sensor is coordinated and distance calculating method
Sensor coordination and distance calculating method write each sensor node in advance before system's operation, be kept among the EEPROM of node.The prototype system of this positioning system realizes that this sensor adopts TinyOS[6 when coordinating with distance calculating method] as its operating system, NesC[7] as programming language (a kind of language that is similar to the C style).According to the division of its function, this sensor is coordinated to comprise 2 modules with distance calculating method: channel assignment module (or claiming the sensor Coordination module), distance calculation module.
1) channel assignment module
This positioning system is one and follows the tracks of multiobject system have a plurality of sensor nodes to work simultaneously in the system, and ultrasound wave still to be radio frequency all belong to a kind of shared channel, promptly can only be monopolized by certain node sometime.How to be the sensor assignment channel, the communication of organizing each sensor simultaneously is the work that positioning system at first will solve, and this work claims to coordinate each sensor node again.The module of finishing this work is a channel assignment module, claims the sensor Coordination module again.We have invented a kind of being called the mechanism of " the random back-off CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) of band data communication " on this module, are called for short RB-CSMA.
Traditional channel allocation mechanism is medium accesses visit MAC (the Medium Access Control) method that LAN (LAN (Local Area Network)), WLAN (WLAN (wireless local area network)), Cellular Networks etc. adopt.In these methods, what need to solve only is problem for a kind of medium (being wireless signal) allocated channel, and this positioning system faces is will be radio frequency and the ultrasound wave two media problem of allocated channel simultaneously, if adopt traditional MAC mechanism ultrasound wave and the unmatched problem of radio frequency frame can occur on this problem.
As shown in Figure 8, badge A launches radio frequency and ultrasound wave simultaneously, after website B listens to the radiofrequency signal sky after a period of time, and emission radio frequency and ultrasound wave.But certain reader is different to the distance of badge A and B, cause of the ultrasound frame arrival of the ultrasound frame of badge B prior to badge A, because ultrasound frame is not carried id information, to listen to website and take for the corresponding radio frequency frame A of ultrasound frame B, the distance of calculating according to this TDoA but is wrong.Must properly handle this problem when therefore sensor being carried out channel allocation.We have invented the method for a kind of RB-CSMA on this problem, it avoids not matching of ultrasound wave and RF, and realized the dual-use function of location and data communication, the method does not rely on the scheduling of Centroid, do not need complicated code decode algorithm (as Code Division Multiple Access CDMA), do not need strict time synchronized (as time-division multiple access (TDMA) TDMA) yet, realize simple, hardware requirement is low, and channel utilization is than higher.This method is described below:
As shown in Figure 9, in RB-CSMA mechanism, badge requires to wait for a period of time at least when idle and could launch radio frequency and ultrasound wave behind the T listening to radio-frequency channel, wherein:
Maximum propagation time-radio frequency frame launch time long (formula 8) of T=ultrasound frame in the space
Hereinafter T is called for short maximum propagation time.For example the maximum coverage range of the single badge of this positioning system is 15m at present, so the value of T is:
T=15m/v The velocity of sound-RF frame ≈ launch time 15/331=45ms (formula 9)
In Fig. 9 as can be seen, launched the T of radio frequency and ultrasound frame in the time at certain badge, do not have other badge emissions, and the T time has guaranteed that just ultrasound frame can arrive the space maximum coverage range Anywhere, has avoided not matching of ultrasound wave and RF like this.Launch simultaneously for fear of listening to the badge of channel idle more than latter two, RB-CSMA requires badge to wait for channel idle T after the time, waits for t emission information just after the time again, t be from A random number of concentrating makes the moment that transmits after each badge channel idle be evenly distributed on like this
Figure C200610144285D00152
In the interval, avoided a plurality of badges to be chosen in synchronization and transmitted and produce conflict.
Figure C200610144285D00153
On the other hand, at T to be launched such as each badge in the time, reader will apart from Frame (following abbreviation Frame, equally with the form emission of radio frequency, for the radiofrequency signal difference of badge emission location usefulness, claim that the latter is a locating frame) form launch.Also to wait for one τ period before each reader transmit data frames, T be from [0, Γ Data] concentrated random number, wherein a Γ Data≤ T-D Data, D DataFor the launch time of Frame long, and in our test of prototype system Γ DataGet its upper limit.This mechanism make the probability of reader transmitting range be evenly distributed on (0, Γ Data) in the time, avoid a plurality of readers to be chosen in the synchronization transmit data frames and produce conflict.
2) distance calculation module
Distance calculation module realizes calculating distance from radio frequency and hyperacoustic TDoA.Problem below in distance calculation, facing aspect several:
◆ the problem how processing signals (ultrasound wave) does not receive
Because ultrasonic propagation stops sensitivity to indoor equipment, make the propagation distance of radio-frequency channel much larger than hyperacoustic propagation distance, reader may receive the radio frequency locating frame, does not but receive ultrasound wave.
◆ reduce actual TDoA
Test by prototype system shows, the Δ t of detected mistiming of system is not that complete correspondence the actual mistiming t that reaches yet Actual, (transmitting node is a badge among this figure, and receiving node is a reader) as shown in figure 10, it also comprises the needed time of signal Synchronization etc., needs the real TDoA of recovering signal before entering distance calculation.
◆ the velocity of sound is proofreaied and correct
Extrapolate apart from the process from TDoA, the velocity of sound is an important parameter that influences precision.In fact hyperacoustic velocity of propagation neither a fixing value, and it is subjected to Temperature Influence and corresponding fluctuation is arranged.
On this problem, this positioning system adopts the methods such as speed correction of detection effective time, time bias and temperature sensor guiding to overcome above problem respectively.This program circuit as shown in figure 11.
As can be seen from Figure 11, T after reader receives the radio frequency locating frame (maximum propagation time) does not receive ultrasound frame in the time, thinks that then ultrasound frame loses, and handles the problem that processing signals does not receive in this way.The t of Figure 11 ComThe synchronous required time of expression Figure 10, it records by test.The velocity of sound among the figure is to set according to the velocity of sound-hygrometric formula in the physics.
3, position calculating method
Position calculation is finished on position calculation unit, and its work comprises distance filtration and position calculation two parts.The former is used for choosing effective distance value from the distance set that each reader is collected, and the latter is from geometric position that distance is extrapolated each target.Be respectively described below below:
1) apart from filtering module
The distance value of collecting position calculation unit from each reader not all is an effective value.Because facilities such as indoor wall, furniture are to hyperacoustic reflection and stop, make that walk between ultrasound wave is from the badge to the reader is not vision straight line LOS
The multipath effect of (Line-of-Sight), Here it is signal.After producing multipath effect, the distance of calculating from this TDoA is not the length of LOS, but the length of broken line, this distance value is invalid, before calculated the in-position, these invalid datas must be filtered.On this problem, this positioning system using method value of adjusting the distance of sliding window filtrator filter.
Position calculation unit can be expressed as four-tuple [r, b, d from the data that serial ports receives, t], r is a Reader ID, b is badge ID, d is a distance value, the timestamp (this timestamp is the system time of badge oneself, and the time of each badge does not require synchronously) when t is the signal emission.For every pair of reader and badge, its range data can be expressed as two tuples set [t i, d i], i=1,2 ..., element is arranged by the time preface in the set.We define apart from tuple D is D i=[t i, d i, v i], v wherein i=(d i-d I-1)/(t i-t I-1).Each moving window (being called for short sliding window) is one and is every pair of reader and the recent round-robin queue apart from tuple of badge storage.The average velocity of the sliding window of definition is V ‾ = 1 n Σ i = 1 n v i 。New when receiving apart from tuple N=[t, d, v] time, if v≤min{ α V, V Max, then it is gone in moving window, otherwise it is refused as invalid distance.V in the following formula MaxBe the maximal rate of indoor object, and α represent peak acceleration.The flow process of this method as shown in figure 12.
2) position computation module
Position calculation is finished from distance and is extrapolated the work of the geometric position of each target.In theory, position calculation needs to solve but in fact face many problems as long as adopt triangle or polygon localization method just can realize simply:
◆ calculating location how when the distance value number is not equal to 4
The data that position computation module receives from distance filtering module unit constantly can be expressed as two tuple set: [p i, d i] i=0 ..., n-1.P wherein i=(x i, y i, z i) be the position of i reader, it is known in advance.And n is the number that this reports the reader of coverage value constantly, in other words the coverage number.The note badge position of desiring to ask be φ=(z), polygon localization method position calculation is to find the solution following equation in theory for x, y:
( ( x - x 0 ) 2 + ( y - y 0 ) 2 + ( z - z 0 ) 2 = d 0 2 · · · · · · ( x - x n - 1 ) 2 + ( y - y n - 1 ) 2 + ( z - z n - 1 ) 2 = d n - 1 2 ) (formula 10)
(formula 10) has the condition of unique solution is n=4.Yet in order to pursue the stability that signal covers, the reader quantity that people arrange in certain space may be more than 4, make like this some time be carved with to imitate that distance value can again can be greater than 4.On the other hand, because the noise of environment, the coverage value that receives when making certain can be less than 4.Come DR position if we think to use simply the polygon localization method, when the distance value number was not equal to 4, this method tended to lose efficacy.
◆ distance value deviates from actual value, how to handle this measurement noise
Owing to, receive the distance value of measuring and how much deviate from actual value from all factors of hardware, software and environment.This deviation is called the measurement noise, and it is inevitable.Although sliding window filtering can filter out the range noise that is caused by multipath effect, it can not handle the noise that is caused by measurement itself.If carefully do not handle this measurement noise well, bring very important influence will certainly for the calculating of position.
◆ range deviation can or can not cause the error on position calculation to amplify
Owing to measure the existence of noise, make reported distance deviate from actual value, this error causes the deviation on the position calculation.Problem is that range deviation can or can not cause the error on position calculation to amplify, is site error along with the increase of calculation procedure can or can not restrain?
◆ how computation complexity is controlled makes it too not big
The complexity of position calculation is unsuitable excessive, otherwise the position that long Time Calculation is come out has a greatly reduced quality its practical significance probably owing to moving of target becomes out-of-date.
On this problem, this positioning system using the method for a kind of extended Kalman filter (EKF, Extended Kalman Filter) come calculated target positions.Extended Kalman filter is based on observed reading system state is carried out the prediction and the correction of iteration, and finally estimates the method for the state of system.
This method has following characteristics:
◆ do not require distance value greater than 4, do not require that it is synchronous yet.
Even only receive a distance value, EKF can calculate the position.Entering EKF calculated distance value does not require yet and is in synchronization.
◆ can guarantee error variance minimum between estimated value and the actual value in the known situation of measuring error feature.
In EKF, if target retention wire sexual state or static, iterative step is many more, and then error can be more little.
◆ computation complexity is low.
In view of above advantage, the position calculation of this positioning system has just adopted the method for EKF.EKF is made up of the round-robin iterator, and each step iteration is called a time step (time-step), and each time step is by predicting and correcting two stages and form, and each new measured value arrives, and promptly receives the new data [t of reader report i, d i], i=1,2 ..., all to carry out the calculating of a time step.The EKF state vector of this positioning system is made as 6 dimensional vectors, is designated as X=[x, y, z, v x, v y, v z] T, wherein (x, y z) are the 3-D coordinate position of badge, and (v x, v y, v z) be the speed of object at 3 change in coordinate axis direction, measuring vectorial m is the measuring distance value d of reader report, is a scalar value.In each time step, position computation module is the predicted value of computing mode vector sum error covariance matrix at first, from sliding window filtrator, read new distance value (tuple) then, according to the measured value calculating K alman factor and correct state vector and error covariance matrix, the location components of the state vector after will correcting afterwards is as the D coordinates value output of badge then.The flow process of whole position computation module as shown in figure 13.
