Technical field
The present invention relates to unmanned air vehicle technique field more particularly to a kind of autonomous path planning methods of small drone.
Background technology
Prior art UAV referred to as " unmanned plane ", is controlled using radio robot and the program provided for oneself The not manned aircraft that device manipulates.Without cockpit on machine, but the equipment such as automatic pilot, presetting apparatus are installed.Ground, On naval vessels or machine tool remote control station personnel are by equipment such as radars, to it into line trace, positioning, remote control, telemetering and Digital Transmission.It can It takes off as conventional airplane or is launched with booster rocket under wireless remotecontrol, can also take aerial launch to by machine tool and fly Row.During recycling, the mode automatic Landing as conventional airplane landing mission can be used, can also pass through remote control parachute or block Recycling.It can be reused several times.It is widely used in aerial reconnaissance, monitoring, communication, antisubmarine, electronic interferences etc..
Conventional small unmanned plane is controlled by remote control, and scope of activities is easily restricted in controller's horizon range, so as to It can not realize the autonomous flight of small drone, can not make small drone that there is wider array of scope of activities, and trajectory planning is calculated Method is the key that realize autonomous flight.With the development of satellite positioning tech, small drone can obtain itself position by GPS Confidence ceases, and using this information and the complaint message of combination surrounding map, can design Path Planning can realize small-sized nothing Man-machine autonomous flight.Herein by taking the four-axle aircraft based on GPS positioning system as an example, devise a kind of based on GPS positioning system The autonomous Path Planning of small drone of system, the algorithm are simply easily realized.
Invention content
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of autonomous path planning methods of small drone, and having flies small drone Line range is wide, can autonomous flight the advantages of, solve conventional small unmanned plane and be controlled by remote control, scope of activities is easily limited It is formed in controller's horizon range, so as to realize the autonomous flight of small drone, small drone can not be made to have more The problem of wide scope of activities.
The autonomous path planning method of a kind of small drone according to embodiments of the present invention, includes the following steps:
S1:GPS positioning:Use the position of the GPS positioning system positioning small drone itself of four-axle aircraft;
S2:The tracking of small drone is realized as Path Planning using improved A-Star algorithms;

On the basis of said program, A-Star algorithms are a kind of heuristic search algorithms for solving static network shortest path. In classical A-Star algorithms, first by map rasterizing, having " access " in map(Passable part)" obstacle "(No Passable part)Then two kinds of grids calculate the distance value from current grid to the grid being likely to reach.
On the basis of said program, in A-Star algorithm search, from starting point, check adjacent cells, then again from Adjacent cells are searched for outward, until expanding to target location, when searching for adjacent cells, and first search F(n)Smaller grid.For Repeat search is prevented, one is established in search process and opens list and closes list for storing current grid to be searched The grid of search has been completed, the optimal path that each grid is reached from starting point is constantly obtained in search process, until Search target point.
On the basis of said program, the GPS receiver of four-axle aircraft used receives mould for U-BLOX GPS signals in S1 Block can obtain the longitude and latitude of four-axle aircraft present position, and it is dd.mm.mmmmm that data, which return to form,(Spend points Five decimal fractions that points of integer part), it is WGS-84 coordinate systems used in GPS positioning system, to WGS-84 coordinate systems Carry out plane rectangular coordinates transformation.
On the basis of said program, learn from else's experience in design, latitude 0.001 divides scale division value for coordinate system.After coordinate conversion, with Longitude positive direction is y-axis, is indexed as 1.854m, using latitude positive direction as x-axis, is indexed as 1.336m, with perpendicular to Horizon towards On direction for z-axis, index the space coordinates that four-axle aircraft is established for 1m, miniature self-service realized in this space coordinates The autonomous Path Planning of machine.
On the basis of said program, it is simultaneously for that can pass through by obstacle construction on the basis of two-dimentional A-Star algorithms Obstacle assigns corresponding weights.
A-Star algorithms are a kind of heuristic search algorithms for solving static network shortest path.Classical A-Star algorithms In, first by map rasterizing, having " access " in map(Passable part)" obstacle "(Not passable part)Two Kind grid, then calculates the distance value from current grid to the grid being likely to reach.Its cost functionExpression formula For
Wherein:For the estimate cost from origin-to-destination;For the actual cost from starting point to current location; For the estimate cost from current location to target point.
In A-Star algorithm search, from starting point, check adjacent cells, then searched for outward from adjacent cells again, Until expanding to target location, when searching for adjacent cells, first searchSmaller grid.To prevent repeat search, One is established in search process to open list and close list for storing current grid to be searched and having completed to search for Grid.The optimal path that each grid is reached from starting point is constantly obtained in search process, until searching target point.Phase Than the breadth-first search for directly searching path(BFS), the cost function of A-Star algorithms calculating current location to terminal In add estimation function,Addition can allow algorithm first search open list in close to terminal grid, can To avoid unnecessary search to greatest extent.In the algorithm of this paper,Value for current point to target point Europe it is several in Moral distance.
The present invention has an advantageous effect in that compared with prior art:
1st, it is autonomous to design a kind of small drone based on GPS positioning system for the autonomous path planning method of this kind of small drone Path Planning, it is achieved thereby that the autonomous flight of small drone, can make small drone have wider array of scope of activities, And this method is simple and easily realizes;
2nd, the autonomous path planning method of this kind of small drone is using improved A-Star algorithms, the A- before improvement In Star algorithms, obstacle absolutely not may pass through, i.e., the height of obstacle is infinite, and in the flight path rule for carrying out small drone Draw when, since small drone can adjust flying height, not actually exist small drone can not by obstacle. Therefore, after being improved to algorithm, obstacle is arranged to pass through, while obstacle is endowed corresponding weights, so as to Realize optimization of the A-Star algorithms in three-dimensional route planning problem, improved A-Star algorithms can obtain in trajectory planning To the path solution more optimized.
