Description

Positioning method and system for underwater target
The present application claims priority from a chinese patent application filed by the chinese patent office on 27/06/2019 under the name of 201910566875.0 entitled "a positioning method and system for underwater targets," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of underwater acoustics and signal processing, in particular to a positioning method and a positioning system for an underwater target.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of electronic technology, the pace of underwater development is accelerated, and the underwater unmanned vehicle is widely applied, and has the shadow of the underwater unmanned vehicle in underwater exploration and seawater underwater reconnaissance of underwater battles. In practical application, the underwater unmanned aircraft usually needs to realize a long-time self-positioning function, and the time can reach half a year of latency. This requires that the power consumption of the underwater vehicle must not be too high and that the positioning algorithm should have a better long-term stability.
The conventional underwater self-positioning method mainly measures the position of the current target distance beacon based on the propagation time of a measurement signal and the arrival angle of the signal. At this time, in order to resolve the position of the target, simultaneous resolution is often performed by a plurality of beacons. Such as long baseline positioning systems, short baseline positioning systems. As the ultra-short baseline positioning system is in an array processing mode, the array elements are distributed more intensively and can be regarded as a single point source. Only such technologies are mature, but generally, the hardware cost of a system for measuring time delay is high, the time synchronization problem needs to be considered, and meanwhile, the change of the sound velocity in the sea is variable, which brings about large interference. Similarly, the angle of arrival generally uses array signal processing as a basic principle, which requires that the target itself needs to carry relatively complex hardware facilities, and the power consumption increases accordingly.
In addition, the current single-beacon self-positioning technology combining the target motion attitude information is more. For example, the Kalman filtering is used as a basic principle, and the Kalman filtering is expanded, the unscented Kalman filtering is used, and various derived improved algorithms are used. Of course, the method also comprises a derivative improved algorithm such as a particle filter algorithm and the like which takes Bayesian filtering as a basic principle. The basic criteria of these algorithms is to establish a state transition equation and a measurement equation to locate the target. In a time delay system, the algorithm has the characteristic of low measurement error due to high hardware support, and has high positioning accuracy if the marine environment is stable. However, with various changes of the environment, the established equation itself will bring great errors, and the effect of the algorithm itself is further affected.
