Description

Unmanned aerial vehicle photoelectric platform target positioning method based on robust unscented Kalman filtering
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of positioning filtering algorithms, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle photoelectric platform target positioning method based on robust unscented Kalman filtering.
Background
Unmanned aerial vehicle technology, which is excellent in economic cost effectiveness, maneuverability, timeliness and adaptability, has undergone rapid technological iterative development and has found wide application in a variety of fields. With the popularity of on-board optoelectronic systems, unmanned aerial vehicles have shown great potential in implementing target detection, tracking and positioning, and in particular in accurately acquiring target position information and motion characteristics, have attracted interest in many industries. Currently, unmanned aerial vehicles exhibit wide application potential, covering a plurality of fields such as site monitoring, meteorological detection, road inspection, geological exploration, flood monitoring, aerial photography, traffic control, electric power facility inspection, forest fire prevention and the like.
The airborne photoelectric platform forms a core component for unmanned aerial vehicle to execute tasks, and can accurately detect and position various targets on the ground and in the air through an integrated photoelectric system and photoelectric sensor technology. With the continuous progress of photoelectric technology and digital technology, the performance of the photoelectric system carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle is expected to be significantly improved under the promotion of miniaturization and high integration trend of the airborne system. This advance predicts a significant expansion of the detection range, an increase in sensitivity and resolution, and a further reduction in system mass and volume, which together provide solid hardware support for achieving high-precision localization of unmanned aerial vehicle targets.
Parameters including attitude (pitch, roll, heading angle), attitude of the imaging system, pitch angle, and focal length of the sensor are obtained by the on-board reconnaissance system, however, these data are not sufficient to directly determine the precise geographic location of the target. In order to resolve the three-dimensional position of the target in the geographic coordinate system, key information such as flight attitude data of the unmanned aerial vehicle, global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates, and visual axis orientation of the onboard photoelectric platform must be acquired at that time. Then, through a series of coordinate conversion processes, the three-dimensional space position of the target can be calculated. The working principle and the steps of the target positioning method based on the unmanned aerial vehicle carried with the photoelectric platform are shown in fig. 1.
The core of the passive target positioning method is the design of a target geographic position estimation algorithm. The complexity of target positioning is mainly due to the combined action of multiple factors of sensor precision, measuring tools, stability of a load bearing platform, navigation precision of an aircraft and positioning accuracy. In terms of accurate estimation methods of the target geographic location, international researchers are focusing on a variety of filtering techniques including kalman filtering (KALMAN FILTER, KF), extended kalman filtering (Extended KALMAN FILTER, EKF), volumetric kalman filtering (Cubature KALMAN FILTER, CKF), unscented kalman filtering (Unscented KALMAN FILTER, UKF), and particle filtering (PARTICLE FILTER, PF) algorithms. For example, the three-level EKF algorithm developed by Luo and colleagues significantly enhances positioning accuracy by establishing a geometric link between the target lateral position and its relative height. Xu et al generally predicts the starting position of the target using a digital altitude model, and subsequently refines the position estimate using CKF algorithms, especially in complex terrain, to improve the accuracy of positioning of the ground target. Furthermore, tang Da et al position the ground target through iteration UKF algorithm, have effectively overcome the slow and scattered difficult problem of filtering of tracking speed.
However, EKF, UKF and CKF algorithms require reasonable settings of the system noise matrix and the observed noise to suppress the noise of the system, are typically calibrated through extensive experimentation, and need to be set to a fixed value. Second, when the change in the operating conditions of the aircraft causes nonlinear disturbances in the photovoltaic system, time-varying noise that varies over time and does not have constant statistical properties is generated. Time-varying noise is largely divided into two types: one is gradual noise, whose statistical properties change slowly over a longer period of time; the other is abrupt noise, which is usually caused by abrupt changes in flight conditions, and the statistical characteristics change rapidly in a short time. The algorithms can not adaptively adjust parameters of the algorithms to process noise containing time-varying characteristics, and the algorithms are difficult to adapt to changing working environments in the flight process of the unmanned aerial vehicle, so that the target positioning accuracy of a photoelectric system is reduced.

Detailed Description
The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings, the examples are illustrated for the purpose of illustrating the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
In order to meet the requirement of an unmanned aerial vehicle photoelectric system on real-time target positioning, the research provides a self-adaptive robust unscented Kalman filtering method (Adaptive Robust Unscented KALMAN FILTER, ARUKF) based on dynamic residual feedback. Aiming at a system disturbance scene subjected to complex environment interference, the method fuses Unscented Kalman Filtering (UKF) and a robust estimation theory, and reduces adverse effects of system interference on target positioning through real-time adjustment of dynamic residual errors. According to the method, the self-adaptive weight factors are dynamically adjusted through different residual errors at each moment, so that the weighted values of the prediction matrix and the error covariance are adjusted in real time, the influence of external environment changes on the stability of the system is reduced, and the positioning accuracy and the robustness of the system are improved. In addition, the algorithm reduces the calculation load by optimizing the sampling process, so that the real-time performance of the system is improved.
The object positioning process mainly involves 6 basic inertial coordinate systems:

The GCF coordinate system, the ECEF coordinate system and the NED coordinate system are shown in FIG. 2.
The imaging model of the optoelectronic platform is shown in fig. 3, and mainly relates to HRD, C, O and I coordinate systems.
Assuming that a photovoltaic system mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle performs continuous multiple observation activities on a plurality of targets in a field of view, since the system mainly estimates geographic position information of the targets, a system state quantity is set as geographic coordinates of the targets.

The unmanned aerial vehicle can encounter severe nonlinear attitude change during autonomous flight, and by adopting an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm, the problem of nonlinear observation common in the process of positioning an object of a photoelectric system can be effectively solved by means of an unscented transformation technology, and the unmanned aerial vehicle has excellent processing capacity on complex dynamic behaviors. The application of the UKF algorithm requires presetting of system and observation noise parameters, however, due to uncertainty of the unmanned aerial vehicle operating environment and fluctuation of wind speed, in addition to continuous vibration of the machine body in flight, accurate prediction of the distribution or type of noise errors becomes extremely difficult, which results in failure to construct an accurate function or random model. Therefore, it is important to reduce the influence of parameter update during the filtering process.
In view of the above, the present invention determines an adaptive weight factor by calculating a dynamic residual between a system observation and a predicted value. These weighting factors are used to weight the prediction state vector and its prediction error covariance at each moment to achieve an optimal balance between the dynamic model and the measured data. The method allows real-time adjustment of the observation noise matrix to reduce the influence of the disagreement between the preset noise parameters and the actual conditions, and effectively reduces the risk of divergence of the predicted position information in the filtering process, thereby improving the accuracy and the robustness of the algorithm. In addition, by employing a minimization strategy sampling, the present study further reduces the computational requirements of the system, increasing its real-time processing capacity. The specific algorithm implementation mainly comprises 6 steps:
(1) Setting a system state vector initial value and an error covariance matrix initial value, and providing a deterministic system response basis for subsequent system state space iteration, wherein the specific formula is as follows

Photoelectric system target positioning experiment
The flight heights of the experimental unmanned aerial vehicle are 750m and 1500m respectively, and a flight path planning schematic diagram is shown in fig. 4. The unmanned plane starts to fly stably and linearly at the navigation point W 1, reaches W 4 after 3 fast turns, and completes continuous imaging observation for the target area for multiple times, wherein the observation frequency is 30 frames/second. 2 passing points, W 2 and W 3 respectively, are arranged in the flight track, and when the unmanned aerial vehicle makes a quick turn on the red track, the flight working condition can be changed obviously. The sampling frequency of the unmanned aerial vehicle photoelectric system is 5 frames/second, the total time from the flight point W 1 to the flight point W 4 is 35 seconds, and 7-9 seconds are the time range of the unmanned aerial vehicle for making a small-range turn. The imaging images of the target area by the unmanned aerial vehicle at different waypoints in the experiment are shown in fig. 5. As can be seen from fig. 5, 7 targets are arranged on the ground in the experiment, and the specific positional relationship is shown in the last image of fig. 5. In the observation process of the photoelectric system, the camera always ensures that all target points are in an observation range. Thus, from T1 to T7, the distance of the target point with respect to the imaging center gradually increases. The GPS coordinates of the 3 targets were precisely measured using a differential positioning system, and the results are shown in table 1. The standard deviation of the measurement error of the system is smaller than 0.1m, so that the measurement result can be used as true values of 3 target geographic positions.
Table 1 true geographic location of objects
In order to study the relation between the unmanned aerial vehicle flight condition and the proposed algorithm target positioning accuracy, observation data of flight trajectories W 1 to W 2 and flight trajectories W 3 to W 4 are selected for result comparison analysis, and the flight height is 750m. Taking the target T 1 as an example, the positioning results obtained using the trajectories W 1 to W 2 are shown in fig. 6, and the positioning results obtained using the trajectories W 3 to W 4 are shown in fig. 7. In fig. 6 and fig. 7, red five-pointed star is a true value of a target geographic position, yellow dots are filter initial values, black curves are geographic position measurement values at different times, gradient color curves are geographic position estimation values at different times, and the change of color from blue to red represents an increase of sampling time.
As can be seen from fig. 6 and 7, the ARUKF algorithm obtains a distance filtering value that gradually approaches to a true value over time. Wherein, the target distance estimation error of the flight tracks W 1 to W 2 in the north direction is 7.37m under the machine body coordinate system, and the target distance estimation error in the east direction is 7.92m; the target distance estimation error of the flight trajectories W 3 to W 4 in the north direction under the body coordinate system is 5.52m, and the target distance estimation error in the east direction is 3.72m.
For flight trajectories W 1 to W 2, the drone makes a fast maneuver turn at 7-9 seconds, the east-directed measurement is dithered to a small extent, and then the distance filtered value is slightly off the true value. The reason is that the unmanned aerial vehicle working condition is obviously changed due to maneuvering turning, nonlinear disturbance of a photoelectric system is aggravated, and estimation error of a target position is increased. However, ARUKF algorithm can still be converged to a true value rapidly in 10s, which shows that the algorithm can track the change of the observation noise rapidly and accurately, and effectively overcomes the mutation of the observation noise, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the photoelectric platform. As can be seen from fig. 6 and 7, the estimated value of the position location obtained by ARUKF algorithm is also continuously approaching to the true value, which verifies the feasibility of the algorithm. For flight trajectories W 3 to W 4, the unmanned aerial vehicle is in stable flight in the whole course, the ARUKF algorithm can quickly converge to a true value in 10s, and the positioning accuracy is higher.
In order to study the performance advantages of the proposed algorithm for multi-target passive positioning, under the experimental situations that the conditions are set to be 750m in flight height, W 1 to W 2 in flight track and 20 times of experiments, the EKF algorithm, UKF algorithm, AEKF algorithm, PF algorithm and the proposed ARUKF algorithm are respectively utilized to calculate the average positioning error, the positioning root mean square error and the average operation time in each sampling period of all targets, and the results are shown in Table 2.
Table 2 positioning accuracy and calculation time of different algorithms
From table 2 the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) The EKF can not adaptively adjust the noise matrix, so that the average positioning error is larger and is between 46.32m and 63.10m, and the lowest positioning precision is shown; UKF processes the nonlinear problem by adopting lossless transformation, so that the positioning accuracy is improved to a certain extent, but the influence of time-varying noise cannot be effectively overcome; the AEKF can adaptively adjust the noise matrix, so that the positioning accuracy is further improved; the average positioning errors of PF and ARUKF on all targets differ by only 0.59m, and the overall difference of the positioning accuracy of PF and ARUKF is not large; (2) ARUKF has a calculation time of 0.039ms, which is similar to AEKF, is slightly higher than EKF, but is far lower than PF and UKF, the calculation efficiency is improved by 51% compared with PF, and the result is consistent with analysis in introduction and theoretical calculation complexity [32]; (3) Under the condition that the unmanned aerial vehicle turns, ARUKF shows stronger robustness on positioning root mean square error, the error range is between 2.24 meters and 6.21 meters, and the positioning effect is equivalent to that of the PF; (4) The positioning errors of the targets T5, T6 and T7 are generally larger than T1, T2, T3 and T4, because the targets T5, T6 and T7 are further from the imaging center, and the distortion of the nacelle lens results in a larger positioning error.
Aiming at the time-varying characteristic of the observation noise of the unmanned aerial vehicle photoelectric system, the invention provides a dynamic estimation method of the self-adaptive robust Kalman filtering algorithm for the target geographic position of the photoelectric platform. The algorithm is verified and tested in multiple aspects through the actually measured flight experiment, and the experimental result shows that:
(1) The maneuvering turning causes the unmanned aerial vehicle to change obviously, aggravates the nonlinear disturbance of the photoelectric system, and increases the estimation error of the target position. However, ARUKF algorithm can still be converged to a true value rapidly in 10s, which shows that the algorithm can track the change of time-varying observation noise rapidly and accurately, and effectively overcomes the variability of the observation noise;
(2) Under the condition that the flight trajectories are the same, the distance measurement value shows more remarkable fluctuation along with the increase of the flight altitude, and meanwhile, the error of target positioning by the algorithm is increased;
