Description

Double-virtual-structure-based multi-unmanned-aerial-vehicle formation standby off tracking control and tracking method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle target tracking, and mainly relates to a control method for performing on-off tracking on a target by multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation and a tracking method based on a corresponding control method, in particular to a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation on-off tracking control and tracking method based on a double virtual structure.
Background
Tracking of targets by drones (unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV) is one of the important tasks of drones. The standby off tracking is an important tracking mode of target tracking, and the method requires that the unmanned aerial vehicle keeps a certain distance from the target and the unmanned aerial vehicle makes fixed-distance spiral motion around the target. Along with the improvement of task degree of difficulty and the complicacy of environment for single unmanned aerial vehicle hardly satisfies actual combat demand, consequently research many unmanned aerial vehicles cooperation execution task is popular more and more.
Multiple UAVs cooperate with standby off tracking requires that each UAV track the same target and that each UAV maintain phase cooperation with the other UAV. Currently, the multi-UAV collaborative standby tracking method is mainly divided into two types, one type is that each UAV is directly guided to a standby tracking circle by a vector field, then phases among the UAVs are adjusted, and the other type is that UAV formation is generated before a target is tracked, and then guidance rules are designed to guide the formation to the standby circle. However, the two methods have respective disadvantages, and the former carries out the phase adjustment between the UAVs after all the UAVs reach the tracking circle, so that the time for realizing collaborative tracking is prolonged; the latter designs formation guidance laws between UAV and leader (virtual leader) tracking target guidance laws, respectively, based mainly on the leader-follower structure, and the algorithm design of this method is complicated.
For target tracking, a measurement method of the target information state is important for the research of the tracking method. The current unmanned aerial vehicle mainly relies on an onboard sensor for measuring the target state, and is combined by matching with a corresponding estimation algorithm. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the sensor performs measurement estimation on the target state at each sampling point, so the designed method must take this point into consideration to have more engineering value.
In summary, the main difficulties of the multi-UAV collaborative target standby off tracking problem are: firstly, how to convert the problem of the standby off tracking of multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation into a simple tracking control description, and secondly, how to determine a method capable of shortening the multi-UAV phase coordination time and simplifying the guidance law design.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to fig. 1 to 10.
As shown in fig. 1, the multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation standby off tracking control method based on the double virtual structure mainly comprises 3 steps: introducing a virtual UAV l As a virtual leader of the formation; introducing a virtual UAV b As a reference for formation target tracking control; and constructing a tracking parameter set to perform tracking control.
The invention considers the problem that N-frame UAVs carry out the standby off tracking on targets, and can establish an unmanned aerial vehicle dynamic model based on a double-integral model:
Figure BDA0002441472660000041
wherein p is i =(x i ,y i ) T 、v i UAV respectively i Position and velocity of (c); u (u) i To control the amount.
In order to convert the problem of the standby off tracking of multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation into a simple tracking control description needle, the invention provides a double-virtual-structure-based standby off tracking control method for multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation, which specifically comprises the following steps:
step S1, introducing a virtual UAV l As a virtual leader of the formation, track guidance is provided for the movement of the entire formation.
Establishing a UAV l The model of (2) is:
Figure BDA0002441472660000051
wherein: p is p l =(x l ,y l ) T 、v l UAV respectively l Position and velocity of (c); u (u) l For UAVs l Is provided for the control input of (a).
As a virtual leader, UAV l The main function is to provide a reference for the UAV platoon to the kinematic location. UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) command l The target is continuously tracked, and is continuously moved towards the target until the target coincides with the target. UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) l Tracking the target track is a precondition for realizing accurate tracking of targets by multiple UAV formation, and a track guiding UAV tracking target track schematic diagram is shown in figure 2.
UAV l The method is continuously approaching to the target until the target is coincident with the target, and specifically can be adopted as follows:
step S11, p l According to the position p of N unmanned aerial vehicle i Determining i ε {1,2, …, N }; in the present embodiment, specifically take
Figure BDA0002441472660000052

step S12, determining the UAV according to the estimation of the target motion direction at the current moment l The motion direction at the current moment is

UAV l Control input of +.>
Figure BDA0002441472660000054
Wherein p is t (t+Δt) is the estimated position of the target at time t+Δt, Δt being the sensor sampling time interval; p is p l (t) is the time t UAV l Is a position of (c).
Step S13, repeating step S12 until the UAV l The target is caught up and coincides with the target.
To validate defined movement rules to enable UAVs l The upper target can be tracked and now demonstrated using geometric knowledge.
As shown in FIG. 3, A and B are UAVs at time t respectively l UAV at time t+Deltat for A 'and B' respectively corresponding to the position of the target l The position of the target is AB and A 'B' are t and t+Δt times UAV, respectively l The distance between the target and the target, AA 'and BB' are UAV in the delta t time period respectively l Distance to the target. Then to prove UAV l Can track the target, namely, the A 'B' is less than AB.
It is evident that AB-A 'B < AA', A 'B' -A 'B < BB' due to UAV l If the target track is to be tracked at a certain speed, the following of the target track is required to be ensured t ||<||v l I i.e., AA '> BB'. Therefore, A 'B' -AB is less than AA ', A' B 'is less than AA' +AB is less than AB, and the evidence is obtained.
According to UAV l In the method convention of the invention, the UAV takes the measurement characteristics of the airborne sensor to the target into consideration l The motion trail of the target is formed by a plurality of tiny sub-paths, which also means that the target tracking algorithm provided by the invention meets the tracking problem when the target maneuvers, the UAV l The object approaching the object continuously can be realized by continuously adjusting the motion direction of the object according to the motion trend of the object at the sampling moment.
Step S2, introducing a virtual UAV b As a reference for formation target tracking control
Establishing a UAV b The model of (2) is:
Figure BDA0002441472660000061
wherein: p is p b =(x b ,y b ) T 、v b UAV respectively b Position and velocity of (c); u (u) b For UAVs b Is used for controlling the amount of the control of the (b).
In the invention, UAV is used as b As a reference for the cooperative control of multiple UAVs, the method is not only a reference for the cooperative control of phases among unmanned aerial vehicles, but also a reference for the multiple unmanned aerial vehicle formation to perform the stand off tracking.
UAV b Position pb=r of (2) s ·[cosθ b sinθ b ] T Wherein r is s Radius, θ for the Stardoff tracking b For UAVs b Is a phase of (2); UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) b The velocity of (2) is v b
To achieve multi-UAV collaborative standby off tracking, θ is selected b =θ 0 +ωt, where θ 0 Is the initial angle set.
According to the characteristics of the stardoff tracking, the spiral angular velocity omega is selected as follows:
Figure BDA0002441472660000062
ω 0 to determine the constant, t 0 The moment of tracking the upper target for the UAV platoon, i.e. the moment of forming the multiple UAV platoon tracking situation.
When the unmanned aerial vehicle in the formation is a fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle, it has clear constraints on the flight speed and turning radius, so the flight situation during the multi-UAV formation target tracking must be considered. In order to ensure flight safety and prevent stall and other problems, constraint conditions of hover motion in the standby off tracking can be obtained as follows:
Figure BDA0002441472660000063
wherein v is min Is the minimum safe flying speed of the UAV, r s Radius is tracked for standby off.
S3, constructing a tracking parameter set for tracking control
The tracking method is controlled by two virtual unmanned aerial vehicles, and the UAV can be known through the two steps b Is the basis for controlling formation generation and unmanned aerial vehicle hover motion control, and UAV l Then the motion trail of the multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation is controlled.
To achieve multi-UAV collaborative target tracking, consider that the multi-UAVs form a phased collaborative formation. Each UAV uses UAVs b And (3) rotating the corresponding angles by taking the reference as the reference, and respectively maintaining corresponding phase intervals, thereby achieving the aim of phase coordination of multiple UAVs. According to the invention, each unmanned aerial vehicle rotates anticlockwise by a corresponding angle to perform phaseBit adjustment, using rotation matrix as formation parameter, recorded as phase control factor R i I.e.
Figure BDA0002441472660000064
Wherein θ is i For UAVs i Is relative to the UAV b As shown in fig. 4.
In addition, each unmanned aerial vehicle can also be rotated clockwise by a corresponding angle to carry out phase adjustment.
Further, the standby off tracking parameter set S (N) may be constructed as
S(N)=(p l (t),p b (t),R 1 (t),…,R N (t))
Through the parameter set S (N), not only can the formation of the phase coordination of the multiple UAVs be satisfied, but also the control of the standby off tracking of the formation can be realized.
For any initial state, if it is satisfied
Figure BDA0002441472660000071
Then control of the UAV team for target co-pending off tracking may be achieved by controlling the parameter set S (N).
As shown in fig. 4, assuming that the number of UAVs in formation n=4,
Figure BDA0002441472660000072
it can be found that when p b And p is as follows l After the determination, all UAVs will follow the UAVs before they track the targets l Centered along the UAV b Anticlockwise rotation angle theta i To respective positions, form a phased formation, illustrating that the formation of the UAV formation may be formed by (p l (t),p b (t),R 1 (t),…,R N (t)) controlling formation; and after the UAV tracks the target, the UAV receives the target b All UAVs will be in communication with the UAV b A spiral motion with an angular velocity omega is performed.
Furthermore, in order to simplify the complexity of the tracking algorithm, the invention provides a double-virtual-structure-based multi-unmanned-aerial-vehicle formation standby off tracking method based on the double-virtual-structure-based multi-unmanned-aerial-vehicle formation standby off tracking control method, and the double-virtual-structure-based multi-unmanned-aerial-vehicle formation standby off tracking method can realize the standby off tracking of a target only by one control law.
The tracking method specifically comprises the steps of adding step S4 on the basis of the three steps, and determining a control law to realize tracking.
To achieve formation and standby tracking of UAV platoons, it is also critical to determine control laws.
The present invention utilizes directed graphs to represent the communication topology between UAVs.
In particular using directed graph G 1 =(V 11 ) Representing communication topology between unmanned aerial vehicles within a formation, wherein V 1 Representing a set of vertices, i.e., a set of intra-formation UAVs; epsilon 1 Is a collection of edges, i.e., a collection of connected relationships between UAVs.
