Finally, described Navigation module is carried out the renewal of position according to final actual range to location main body.
Specifically, please refer to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the operating process of Navigation module can following steps realize:
Steps A: right-hand as reference direction taking map coordinates system, counterclockwise time, be on the occasion of, calculate each ultrasonic sensor and in map coordinates system, launch hyperacoustic direction, i.e. θ 1+ heading-90 °, θ 2+ heading-90 °, θ 3+ heading-90 ° ..., θ n+ heading-90 °, and be converted within 0 °~360 ° by modulo operation.Because what only have that the ultrasound wave of incident angle within the scope of ± 20 degree obtain is vertical incidence distance, so screening retains the ultrasonic sensor information of incident angle within the scope of ± 20 °.For available ultrasonic sensor, its incident angle is 0 ° (360 °) ± 20 °, 90 ° ± 20 °, 180 ° ± 20 °, 270 ° ± 20 °, represents i.e. (r here with multiple three-number sets 1, β 1, d 1), (r 2, β 2, d 2), (r 3, β 3, d 3) ..., (r n1, β n1, d n1), wherein n 1the number of the ultrasonic sensor after angle is filtered, r i(i=1~n 1) represent that ultrasonic sensor is to the distance of locating main center, β i(i=1~n1) represents that ultrasonic sensor is with respect to the angle of map coordinates system front-right, is on the occasion of, i.e. β counterclockwise i=mod (θ i+ heading-90 °, 360 °), d i(i=1~n1) represents the initial ranging information of ultrasonic sensor;
Step B: screen in the array of ultrasonic sensors remaining in process steps A, the triplet information of calculating each ultrasonic sensor is converted to the information of location main body to four edges of class rectangle environment.Certainly, each ultrasonic sensor is only converted to one side of class rectangle environment.Particularly, refer to Fig. 5, suppose ultrasonic sensor i with respect to the incident direction in map coordinates system in ± 20 °, this ultrasonic sensor can corresponding location main body to the distance on the right of class rectangle environment, establishing its three-number set information is (r i, β i, d i), utilize β iobtain incident angle γ i, suppose β here i=10 °, γ i=10 ° of (if β i=95 °, γ i=| 95-90| °=5 °, if β i=165 °, γ i=| 165-180| °=15 °), obtain incident angle γ iafter, can calculate this measured distance value d i'=r i* cos (γ i)+d i;
Step C: relatively d i' (i=1~n1) and corresponding 4 prediction distances right apart from d_right, upper apart from d_up, left apart from d_left, compare apart from one in d_down down.Particularly, the γ to provide in step B still i=10 ° is example, d i' will compare with d_right.If both have big difference, definitely value difference exceedes a threshold value, such as 20cm, has | d i'-d_right|>20, gives up this d i', otherwise retain this range information, and record and according to range finding from poor absolute value delta i;
Step D: in the supersonic sounding information remaining, for right, upper, left, lower each edge, according to range difference Δ i(i=1~n 2, n 2the number of the ultrasonic sensor after filtering apart from difference) give each Actual measurement distance certain weight w iif, range difference Δ iless weight is larger, otherwise weight is less.Circular is, taking right side edge as example, to suppose Δ i(i=1~n_right, n_right is the number corresponding to right-hand all suitable sonac) is the difference corresponding to i right-hand Actual measurement distance, d i' this d i' weight be:
w i = 1 Δ i 2 Σ j 1 Δ j 2 ,
Here represent the summation to j=1~n_right;
Step e: locate the weighted average distance of main body to class rectangle surrounding according to distance and weight calculation, particularly, for certain direction, as right-hand in map, computing method are:
d right = Σ i w i d i ′
Wherein, d i' be in step B, calculate corresponding to right-hand Actual measurement distance of map, here represent the summation to i=1~n_right;
Step F: utilize 4 weighted direction mean distances that step e is calculated to upgrade the position of location main body, although might not obtain the Actual measurement distance of 4 directions in the time of each renewal simultaneously, but be ultrasonic array due to what use, at least can obtain in most cases the distance of 1 to 2 direction, thereby can carry out position renewal and obtain more accurate position.
The present invention is on the basis of inertia device location, add ultrasonic array distance measuring equipment, ultrasonic sensor is located in the main body of location, thereby merge location navigation, solved cumulative errors problem, further, the present invention also effectively uses prediction distance value and measured distance value and integrates, finally make the positioning result of inertial navigation system more accurate, navigation performance is better.
