wherein, (L atR,LonR,DepR) Is the target polar coordinate of the ROV, (L at)i,Loni,Depi) Is the first geodetic coordinate of the ROV, (L at)L,LonL,DepL) Is the second geodetic coordinate of the ROV.
An ROV underwater positioning system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail in one specific embodiment with reference to fig. 1 to 3. It is to be understood that the following description is illustrative only and is not intended to be in any way limiting. All similar structures and similar variations thereof adopted by the invention are intended to fall within the scope of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1-3, an ROV underwater positioning system 1 is mainly composed of an above-water part, a water surface part and an underwater part. The water upper part is dry-end equipment and is deployed above a water surface platform; the water surface part is a wet end device, needs to be deployed below the water surface and is in hard connection with a water surface platform; the underwater part is a wet end device and is carried on an ROV 2.
The underwater portion is an acoustic beacon 10. The acoustic beacon 10 is a positioning signal transmitting device that is directly controlled by the computer 30 of the marine part.
The surface portion includes three vector hydrophones 20, with three vector hydrophones 20 distributed in an array (i.e., a short baseline matrix). The vector hydrophone 20 is used for sensing sound pressure and vibration velocity information at the arrangement position and outputting an analog measurement signal.
The overwater portion includes: signal preprocessing module 50, computer 30, attitude sensor 60, and positioning module 40 (e.g., beidou/GPS). The signal preprocessing module 50 is configured to convert the analog signal collected by the vector hydrophone into a digital signal, and perform preprocessing operations such as amplification and filtering. The computer 30 is used for controlling, calculating, displaying, and the like. Attitude sensor 60 is used to measure attitude information of the surface platform. And a positioning module 40 (for acquiring geodetic coordinates of the surface platform.
Specifically, three vector hydrophones 20 are deployed on the water surface platform, the distance is set according to the size of the water surface platform, generally between 5m and 20m, a short baseline positioning system is formed by sound pressure channels of the three vector hydrophones 20, and the ROV2 is positioned through the positioning principle of the short baseline positioning system.
The computer 30 is connected to the acoustic beacon 10 via an ROV transmission cable. The short baseline positioning may employ a synchronous positioning method. The computer 30 controls the acoustic beacon 10 to emit the positioning signal through the ROV transmission cable and records the signal emission time t1(ii) a After the vector hydrophone 20 receives the signal, the data is transmitted to the computer 30 through a series of processing, and the computer 30 records the data receiving time t2,t2And t1Is subtracted by the inherent time delay t of the systemfThe travel time of the positioning signal in the acoustic channel is obtained, and the linear distance between the ROV2 and the water surface platform can be calculated by combining the sound velocity information, namely L ═ c (t) ·2-t1-tf). And then, the position (second polar coordinate) of the acoustic beacon 10 (namely, ROV) is calculated according to the three-point positioning principle, and the system 1 of the embodiment of the invention has good effect in shallow sea because the three-point positioning principle needs to be used under the condition of spherical waves.
In addition, each vector hydrophone 20 can measure the distance between the vector hydrophone and the acoustic beacon 10, and each vector hydrophone 20 can also measure the orientation of the acoustic beacon 10 relative to the vector hydrophones 20, that is, each vector hydrophone 20 can obtain the position information (first polar coordinates) of one acoustic beacon 10, and then the position information and the short-baseline positioning result are subjected to fusion processing.
The fusion treatment can adopt a weighted average method, the weight can be set according to the number of elements, the method is as follows, the measurement result of the number 1-N vector hydrophones to the ROV geodetic coordinate position is set as (L at)1,Lon1,Dep1)、…、(LatN,LonN,DepN) Wherein N is more than or equal to 3, and calculating to obtain ROV geodetic coordinate (L at) by using the short baseline positioning principleL,LonL,DepL)。
And then performing fusion calculation on the short baseline positioning result and the vector hydrophone positioning result by using a weighted average method, wherein the short baseline positioning accuracy is higher than the vector hydrophone positioning accuracy, the positioning accuracy is higher when the array length is longer and the array element number is more, weight distribution is performed based on the factors, and the real positioning result of the submarine asset is (L at)R,LonR,DepR) The specific weighted average calculation method is as follows, where N is the number of the ultra-short baseline primitives,
Figure BDA0002457762010000091
when N is 3, the weight of the short baseline positioning result is 75%, the sum of the weights of the three measuring point vector hydrophones is 25%, and the weights of the positioning results of each vector hydrophone are the same and are about 8.3%; when the number of measuring points is more, the weight of the short baseline positioning result is higher, and the weight of the single vector hydrophone positioning result is lower.
The positioning method of the ROV underwater positioning system comprises the following specific steps:
the computer sends a control instruction to the acoustic beacon through the ROV transmission cable;
after receiving the control instruction, the acoustic beacon sends a positioning signal to an underwater acoustic channel;
the vector hydrophone array is in a receiving state in the whole process, and transmits received data to the signal preprocessing module in real time;
the signal preprocessing module is used for conditioning signals, comprising amplification, filtering, AD conversion and other operations, and outputting digital signals to a computer;

Calculation using short baseline positioning principles (L at)S,LonS,DepS);
Calculated using a weighted average fusion algorithm (L at)R,LonR,DepR);
The computer reads the attitude information of the water surface platform acquired by the attitude sensor, performs attitude correction on the polar coordinate position information acquired in the last step, and acquires the relative position of the ROV relative to a three-dimensional coordinate which takes the vector hydrophone array central point as the origin, the vertical direction as the Z axis and the horizontal direction as the XY axis;
the computer reads geodetic coordinate information provided by the Beidou/GPS, and performs coordinate conversion according to the information of the position relative to the ROV in the previous step to obtain coordinates of the ROV in a geodetic coordinate system;
the ROV coordinates are continuously updated.
For example, the ROV underwater pipeline detection by using the ROV underwater positioning system of the embodiment of the present invention includes:
the submarine petroleum pipeline can record route coordinates when deployed, and when some parts have problems, the position can be accurately found through an ROV (remote operated vehicle) for video detection and troubleshooting, and the specific working process is as follows:
equipment installation and ROV launching;
the computer sends a control instruction to the ROV through an ROV transmission cable;
after receiving the control instruction, the ROV immediately sends a positioning signal to an underwater acoustic channel through an acoustic beacon;
after receiving the positioning signal, the vector hydrophone array arranged below the water surface platform transmits data to the signal preprocessing module for signal conditioning;
after signal conditioning, sending data to a computer, reading attitude information provided by an attitude sensor and geodetic coordinate information provided by the Beidou/GPS by the computer, and analyzing and processing to obtain underwater geodetic coordinates of the ROV;
the computer drives the ROV to move to the position of the target submarine pipeline according to the geodetic coordinate position of the ROV;
