Description

A kind of small-sized four-axle aircraft based on IMU and visual odometry
Technical field
Aerial vehicle position field of navigation technology is the utility model is related to, IMU and vision mileage are based on more particularly, to one kind The small-sized four-axle aircraft of meter.
Background technology
Positioning is one of key technology of mobile robot application, is the matter of utmost importance that robot realizes autonomy-oriented, And the basis of robot autonomous navigation and path planning.Location technology is divided into relative positioning and the class of absolute fix 2.It is definitely fixed Position refers to actively or passively identify using the Xin Biao ﹑ that navigate or Satellite Navigation Technique GPS is positioned.Relative positioning is then using used Property sensor, odometer and vision sensor etc. determine position and appearance of the robot in operating environment relative to initial time State.
GPS has good stationkeeping ability, and typically there is the place of beacon or gps signal covering application scenario in outdoor, And the influence being easily disturbed with the uncertain factor such as satellite failure be present.Inertial navigation system (INS) is by inertia measurement Carrier angular speed that unit (IMU) measures, acceleration carry out computing and conversion obtains various navigation informations, its advantage be it is complete from Main, strong antijamming capability, disguise, real-time are good.But the weak point of inertial navigation system is, navigation positioning error can be with Accumulated time.
The location technology of view-based access control model odometer is more novel at present and studies a kind of more location technology.In vision Extraction environment feature in the ambient image that journey meter obtains from robot kinematics, it is special according to camera imaging projection model and environment The image coordinate change of sign, estimate the pose change of robot, be that a kind of robot of passive non-contact measurement is relatively fixed Position method.Compared to localization methods such as inertial navigation and GPS, visual odometry has accumulated error small, not special by environment earth's surface Property and application space limitation etc. it is prominent the advantages of.But when vision sensor data sampling rate compared with robot movement velocity it is relatively low When, point of interest number can be caused to reduce and cause estimated accuracy to reduce.And it is different from vision positioning, inertial sensor is for short-term Motion prediction precision is preferable, will not be influenceed by unexpected motion change.
Utility model content
The purpose of this utility model be exactly in order to provided the defects of overcoming above-mentioned prior art to exist it is a kind of based on IMU and The small-sized four-axle aircraft of visual odometry.
The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
A kind of small-sized four-axle aircraft based on IMU and visual odometry, including using the symmetrical structure of four rotors Aircraft fuselage, in addition to GPS module on the aircraft fuselage, Inertial Measurement Unit, vision sensor, channel radio Interrogate module, flight control modules and power module;The Inertial Measurement Unit includes accelerometer, three single shafts of three single shafts Gyroscope and A/D converter.

Embodiment
The utility model is described in detail with specific embodiment below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.The present embodiment is with the utility model Implemented premised on technical scheme, give detailed embodiment and specific operating process, but guarantor of the present utility model Shield scope is not limited to following embodiments.
A kind of small-sized four-axle aircraft based on IMU and visual odometry, it uses a kind of small-sized four-axle aircraft structure, By carrying gps satellite receiving module, inertial navigation system and visual odometry, the Various types of data that will be gathered in flight course Information, shift position and operating state etc. are sent to remote control center, then according to the relative position of aircraft and environmental characteristic Put the world coordinates that aircraft is determined with the measurement estimation feature of odometer.As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, this aircraft includes using The aircraft fuselage 3 of the symmetrical structure of four rotors, in addition to GPS module 4 on the aircraft fuselage 3, inertia measurement list Member 7, vision sensor, wireless communication module, flight control modules 8 and power module 6;Inertial Measurement Unit 7 includes three lists The gyroscope and A/D converter of the accelerometer of axle, three single shafts.Aircraft passes through wireless communication module and remote control center Communication connection.Power module 6 provides electric energy to other modules.
The rotor of this aircraft is symmetrically distributed in the front, rear, left and right four direction of aircraft fuselage 3, and four rotors are in Sustained height plane, and the structure of four rotors and radius are all identical, four motors 2 are symmetrically installed on aircraft fuselage Flight control modules 8 and other each navigation modules are laid in 3 bracket end, the space among support.The bottom of aircraft fuselage 3 is provided with Undercarriage 9.Quadrotor changes variable rotor speed by adjusting four rotating speeds of motor 2, realizes the change of lift, from And control posture and the position of aircraft.The basic motion principle flight of this aircraft applications, four propellers 1 of aircraft are logical Motor 2 of overdriving drives, using criss-cross layout, the identical while adjacent propeller 1 in the relative direction of rotation of propeller 1 On the contrary, therefore when aircraft balances flight, gyroscopic effect and air force moment of torsion effect are cancelled for direction of rotation.
In order to keep the stabilized flight of aircraft, Inertial Measurement Unit 7 is housed on four-axle aircraft.In the present embodiment, Inertial Measurement Unit 7 uses MQ-ARCH, including the gyroscope of the accelerometer of three single shafts, three single shafts and A/D conversions Device.Accelerometer and gyroscope measure the orientation, posture and three-dimensional instantaneous position of aircraft respectively, then will by A/D converter Analog signal is converted to data signal.In combination with GPS module 4, can calculate aircraft now with respect to ground posture with And acceleration, angular speed.Flight control modules 8 calculate the revolving force and liter that keep needed for aircraft motion state by algorithm Power, ensure that motor 2 exports suitable driving force by electronic adjusting controller.
Visual odometry realizes that vision sensor includes 1 camera 5, located at flight by vision sensor The bottom of device fuselage 3.Camera calibration tool box (the Camera that camera 5 is developed using Jean-Yves Bouguet Calibra-tion Toolbox for MATLAB) demarcated.During aircraft flight, the Continuous Observation ring of camera 5 The characteristic point in border, realized and positioned using image feature extraction techniques.Visual odometry obtains former and later two continuous samplings moment Relative pose, divided by the time difference at former and later two moment, the relative linear velocity and angular speed of aircraft are just obtained, in this, as sight Measured value.
Aircraft obtains the observation model of the information such as positioning and pose by GPS module 4 and Inertial Measurement Unit 7, then leads to The error that visual odometry location estimation result constantly corrects Inertial Measurement Unit 7 as the observation of observation model is crossed, is improved The positioning precision and security of aircraft.
