Description

本発明は、GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System)におけるアンテナ間相対位置推定方法及びアンテナ間相対位置推定プログラムに関する。 The present invention relates to an antenna-to-antenna relative position estimation method and an antenna-to-antenna relative position estimation program in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).

測位衛星(以下、「衛星」と略記)から発信される電波を測位情報として用いて位置推定を行うGNSSでは、高精度な測位を実現すべく、測位対象である車両等の移動体に複数のアンテナを備える場合がある。移動体に複数のアンテナを装備した場合、アンテナ間の相対位置を正確に把握することを要する。アンテナ間の相対位置が不正確であると、あるアンテナを用いた場合の測位結果と、他のアンテナを用いた場合の測位結果との整合性を担保できず、結果として、移動体の測位が不正確となる。 In GNSS, which estimates the position by using radio waves transmitted from a positioning satellite (hereinafter abbreviated as "satellite") as positioning information, in order to realize highly accurate positioning, a plurality of moving objects such as vehicles to be positioned are used. May be equipped with an antenna. When a moving body is equipped with a plurality of antennas, it is necessary to accurately grasp the relative positions between the antennas. If the relative position between the antennas is inaccurate, the consistency between the positioning result when using one antenna and the positioning result when using another antenna cannot be guaranteed, and as a result, the positioning of the moving body becomes difficult. It will be inaccurate.

移動体に複数のアンテナを装備する場合、移動体の製造時に当該移動体にアンテナを実装する際にアンテナ間の距離を含むアンテナ間の相対位置を予め測定することが考えられる。しかしながら、事前に人手でアンテナ間の相対位置を測定しておくことは、移動体の製造コストが嵩む原因となる。 When a moving body is equipped with a plurality of antennas, it is conceivable to measure the relative positions between the antennas including the distance between the antennas in advance when mounting the antennas on the moving body at the time of manufacturing the moving body. However, manually measuring the relative positions between the antennas in advance causes an increase in the manufacturing cost of the moving body.

GNSS機器は、移動体の製造後に、販売店又は整備工場等で実装する場合があるが、複数のアンテナを装備する場合、人手でアンテナ間の相対位置を測定しておくことは、販売店及び整備工場等では困難であるという問題があった。 GNSS equipment may be mounted at a dealer or a maintenance shop after the mobile body is manufactured, but when installing multiple antennas, it is necessary to manually measure the relative position between the antennas at the dealer and. There was a problem that it was difficult at maintenance shops.

特許文献1には、搬送波の位相に基づいて位置を推定する搬送波位相測位に基づき、2つのアンテナの相対位置を算出する計測装置及び計測方法の発明が開示されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses an invention of a measuring device and a measuring method for calculating the relative positions of two antennas based on carrier phase positioning that estimates the position based on the phase of the carrier wave.

特許文献2には、移動体の旋回時に生じる2つのアンテナ速度の差のベクトルを算出し、基準アンテナから半径Lの円周上で、前述のベクトル方向と一致する接線の接点が他方のアンテナ位置であるとして、2つのアンテナの相対位置を算出する移動体の横滑り計測装置の発明が開示されている。 In Patent Document 2, the vector of the difference between the two antenna velocities that occurs when the moving body turns is calculated, and the tangential contact point that coincides with the above-mentioned vector direction on the circumference of the radius L from the reference antenna is the other antenna position. As such, the invention of a side slip measuring device for a moving body that calculates the relative positions of two antennas is disclosed.

特許文献1に記載の計測装置及び計測方法が採用する搬送波位相測位は処理が複雑であり、対応する受信機が必要となる。従って、4つ以上の衛星から観測された疑似距離に基づく測位方式である一般的なコード測位のみにしか対応していない既存の受信機では実現できないという問題があった。 The carrier phase positioning adopted by the measuring device and the measuring method described in Patent Document 1 is complicated in processing, and a corresponding receiver is required. Therefore, there is a problem that it cannot be realized by an existing receiver that supports only general code positioning, which is a positioning method based on pseudo distances observed from four or more satellites.

特許文献2に記載の横滑り計測装置は、搬送波位相測位ではなく、一般的なコード測位ベースの手法に基づいている。しかしながら、2つのアンテナが車両進行方向に一直線に並んでいない場合は、アンテナ同士のズレ角が事前に測定されていることを要するという問題があった。 The skid measuring device described in Patent Document 2 is based on a general code positioning-based method rather than carrier phase positioning. However, when the two antennas are not aligned in the vehicle traveling direction, there is a problem that the deviation angle between the antennas needs to be measured in advance.

[第1の実施の形態]
以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施の形態に係るアンテナ間相対位置推定方法及びアンテナ間相対位置推定プログラムを用いた位置推定システム100を詳細に説明する。図1は、本実施の形態に係る位置推定システム100を備えた移動体20の一例を示したブロック図である。
[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, the position estimation system 100 using the inter-antenna relative position estimation method and the inter-antenna relative position estimation program according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a moving body 20 provided with a position estimation system 100 according to the present embodiment.

移動体20は、衛星からの測位情報である電波を各々受信する第1アンテナ12A及び第1受信機14A並びに第2アンテナ12B及び第2受信機14Bを備え、さらに第1受信機14Aと第2受信機14Bとの各々から得た情報に基づいて第1アンテナ12Aと第2アンテナ12Bアンテナとの相対位置を推定すると共に、移動体20の位置推定を行う移動体の20の位置を推定する位置推定装置10を備えている。本実施の形態では、GNSSによる位置推定の詳細な説明は省略し、第1アンテナ12Aと第2アンテナ12Bアンテナとの相対位置の推定について説明する。 The mobile body 20 includes a first antenna 12A and a first receiver 14A, a second antenna 12B and a second receiver 14B, respectively, which receive radio waves which are positioning information from satellites, and further, a first receiver 14A and a second receiver 14A. The relative position between the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B antenna is estimated based on the information obtained from each of the receivers 14B, and the position of the moving body 20 is estimated. The estimation device 10 is provided. In the present embodiment, the detailed description of the position estimation by GNSS will be omitted, and the estimation of the relative position between the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B antenna will be described.

図1に示したように、第1アンテナ12A及び第2アンテナ12Bアンテナは、移動体20の前後方向の距離L1と、移動体20の幅方向の距離L2とで隔てられている。本実施の形態では、かかる距離L1、L2を、移動体20の進行方向及び幅方向を軸とする平面上での第1アンテナ12Aと第2アンテナ12Bアンテナとの相対位置とする。 As shown in FIG. 1, the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B antenna are separated by a distance L1 in the front-rear direction of the moving body 20 and a distance L2 in the width direction of the moving body 20. In the present embodiment, the distances L1 and L2 are relative positions of the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B antenna on a plane about the traveling direction and the width direction of the moving body 20.

第1受信機14A及び第2受信機14Bの各々は、第1アンテナ12A及び第2アンテナ12Bの各々が衛星から受信した電波のドップラー周波数を検出する回路である。GNSSの衛星は絶えず動いているため、第1アンテナ12A及び第2アンテナ12Bの各々が受信した電波はドップラー効果により周波数が変動する。第1受信機14A及び第2受信機14Bの各々は、ドップラー効果によって生じた周波数の偏差であるドップラー周波数を検出する。 Each of the first receiver 14A and the second receiver 14B is a circuit that detects the Doppler frequency of the radio wave received from the satellite by each of the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B. Since the GNSS satellite is constantly moving, the frequency of the radio waves received by each of the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B fluctuates due to the Doppler effect. Each of the first receiver 14A and the second receiver 14B detects the Doppler frequency, which is the deviation of the frequency caused by the Doppler effect.

位置推定装置10は、一種のコンピュータであり、記憶装置等に記憶されたプログラムに基づいて、アンテナ間の相対位置を推定すると共に、移動体20の位置推定を行う。 The position estimation device 10 is a kind of computer, and estimates the relative position between the antennas and estimates the position of the moving body 20 based on the program stored in the storage device or the like.

位置推定装置10は、後述するように、移動体20が走行中に、第1受信機14A及び第2受信機14Bの各々が検出したドップラー周波数から第1アンテナ12A及び第2アンテナ12Bの速度差(以下、「速度差A」と呼称)を算出すると共に、IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit:慣性計測装置)等で検出した移動体20の姿勢角(方位角)及び移動体20の角速度(ヨーレート)に基づいて算出される、第1アンテナ12A及び第2アンテナ12Bの速度差(以下、「速度差B」と呼称)と、速度差Aとの差分が最小となる距離L1、L2を推定する。 As will be described later, the position estimation device 10 has a speed difference between the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B from the Doppler frequencies detected by each of the first receiver 14A and the second receiver 14B while the moving body 20 is traveling. (Hereinafter referred to as "velocity difference A") is calculated, and the posture angle (azimuth angle) of the moving body 20 and the angular velocity (yaw rate) of the moving body 20 detected by the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) or the like are used. The distances L1 and L2 that minimize the difference between the speed difference between the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B (hereinafter referred to as “speed difference B”) and the speed difference A, which are calculated based on the above, are estimated.

ドップラー周波数に基づいた速度ベクトルの算出は、疑似距離に基づいた位置の算出に比べてマルチパスの影響を受けにくいので、基本的には、速度差Aは高精度で算出されると期待される。一方、方位及びヨーレートに基づいて得られる速度差Bは、方位推定誤差及びヨーレート推定誤差等が必ずしも小さくないので、上記の速度差Aほど毎回高精度に得られるとは限らない。また、速度差Bは、未知数(L1、L2)を含んだ変数として得られる。一方で速度差Aは上述のように高精度が期待される値が得られる。本実施の形態では、速度差Aと速度差Bとを比較し、両者の差分を最小にするL1、L2を推定することにより、L1、L2を高精度で推定することが可能となる。しかしながら、上述のように速度差Bには誤差が含まれる可能性が高いので、信頼判定等の処理を行って、L1、L2の推定結果の精度を高めることが必要となる。 Since the calculation of the velocity vector based on the Doppler frequency is less affected by multipath than the calculation of the position based on the pseudo distance, it is expected that the velocity difference A is basically calculated with high accuracy. .. On the other hand, the speed difference B obtained based on the direction and the yaw rate is not always obtained with higher accuracy than the above speed difference A because the direction estimation error, the yaw rate estimation error, and the like are not necessarily small. Further, the velocity difference B is obtained as a variable including unknown numbers (L1, L2). On the other hand, as the speed difference A, a value expected to have high accuracy can be obtained as described above. In the present embodiment, L1 and L2 can be estimated with high accuracy by comparing the speed difference A and the speed difference B and estimating L1 and L2 that minimize the difference between the two. However, as described above, there is a high possibility that the speed difference B includes an error, so it is necessary to perform processing such as reliability determination to improve the accuracy of the estimation results of L1 and L2.

図2は、本実施の形態に係る位置推定システム100の機能ブロック図の一例である。図2に示したように、位置推定装置10は、第1アンテナ12Aが受信した電波から第1受信機14Aが検出したドップラー周波数と、第2アンテナ12Bが受信した電波から第2受信機14Bが検出したドップラー周波数とを用い、下記の文献等に記載された方法により、速度差Aを算出するアンテナ速度差算出部30を備えている。

また、位置推定装置10は、移動体20の姿勢角である方位角θを算出する姿勢角算出装置32と、移動体20のヨーレートωを算出する角速度算出装置34とを備えている。姿勢角算出装置32は、一例として、磁気センサの検出値又は後述する第1アンテナ12A又は第2アンテナ12Bの各々の速度ベクトルに基づいて方位角θを算出する。角速度算出装置34は、一例として、ジャイロセンサの検出値からヨーレートωを算出する。また、角速度算出装置34は、前述のIMU等であってもよい。 Further, the position estimation device 10 includes a posture angle calculation device 32 for calculating the azimuth angle θ which is the posture angle of the moving body 20, and an angular velocity calculation device 34 for calculating the yaw rate ω of the moving body 20. As an example, the attitude angle calculation device 32 calculates the azimuth angle θ based on the detection value of the magnetic sensor or the velocity vector of each of the first antenna 12A or the second antenna 12B described later. As an example, the angular velocity calculation device 34 calculates the yaw rate ω from the detection value of the gyro sensor.

Since the velocity vector differences D EY and D NY in the E and N directions include the distances L1 and L2 between the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B, the calculated F (L1, L2) is also included.

Then, the distances L1 and L2 that minimize F (L1, L2) are estimated from the accumulated plurality of F (L1, L2). Various methods can be considered for extracting the minimum value of F (L1, L2), but in the present embodiment, the least squares method is used as an example. At this time, if the approximate distance between the first antenna 12A and the second antenna 12B is known, it may be used as a tentative value of the distances L1 and L2.

As shown in FIG. 5, the position estimation system 200 according to the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the position estimation device 40 includes the reliability determination unit 38.

信頼度判定部38は、式(3)を用いて算出したF(L1,L2)の平方根である速度差Aと速度差Bとの残差の絶対値が所定の閾値以下であり、かつ推定した距離L1、L2の各々の時系列での分散が所定の分散閾値以下の場合に、推定したアンテナ間の相対位置である距離L1、L2は信頼度が高いと判定する。 The reliability determination unit 38 estimates that the absolute value of the residual between the velocity difference A and the velocity difference B, which are the square roots of F (L1, L2) calculated using the equation (3), is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value. When the variances of the distances L1 and L2 in each time series are equal to or less than the predetermined variance threshold, it is determined that the distances L1 and L2, which are the estimated relative positions between the antennas, have high reliability.

所定の閾値及び所定の分散閾値は、一例として、実機を用いた実験等を通じて具体的に決定する。 The predetermined threshold value and the predetermined variance threshold value are specifically determined, for example, through an experiment using an actual machine or the like.

図6は、本実施の形態におけるアンテナ間相対距離推定の処理の一例を示したフローチャートである。図6に示した処理は、ステップ400〜412の手順は、第1の実施の形態と同一なので、詳細な説明は省略する。 FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing for estimating the relative distance between antennas in the present embodiment. In the process shown in FIG. 6, since the procedure of steps 400 to 412 is the same as that of the first embodiment, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

第1の実施の形態では、ステップ414で、F(L1,L2)の最小値から、アンテナ間の相対位置である距離L1、L2を推定したが、本実施の形態では、速度差Aと速度差Bとの残差であるF(L1,L2)の平方根が所定の閾値以下のサンプルを全て抽出し、抽出したF(L1,L2)を用いて複数の距離L1、L2を測定結果とする。 In the first embodiment, in step 414, the distances L1 and L2, which are the relative positions between the antennas, were estimated from the minimum values of F (L1, L2), but in the present embodiment, the speed difference A and the speed are estimated. All the samples in which the square root of F (L1, L2) which is the residual with the difference B is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold are extracted, and a plurality of distances L1 and L2 are used as measurement results using the extracted F (L1, L2). ..

ステップ416では、速度差Aと速度差Bとの残差であるF(L1,L2)の平方根が所定の閾値以下であり、かつ推定した距離L1、L2の各々の時系列での分散が所定の分散閾値以下であるか否かを判定する。ステップ414でF(L1,L2)の平方根が所定の閾値以下のサンプルを抽出しているのであれば、ステップ416では推定した距離L1、L2の各々の時系列での分散が所定の分散閾値以下であるか否かを判定すれば足りる。ステップ416での判定が、F(L1,L2)の平方根が所定の閾値以下であり、かつ推定した距離L1、L2の各々の時系列での分散が所定の分散閾値以下である場合は、F(L1,L2)の最小値から推定した距離L1、L2をコード測位の精度が良好になるアンテナ間の相対位置として採用して処理を終了する。ステップ416での判定が、F(L1,L2)の平方根が所定の閾値以下でない、又は推定した距離L1、L2の各々の時系列での分散が所定の分散閾値以下ではない場合は、手順をステップ400に移行して、アンテナ間の相対位置の推定処理を再度行う。 In step 416, the square root of F (L1, L2), which is the residual between the speed difference A and the speed difference B, is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, and the variance of the estimated distances L1 and L2 in each time series is predetermined. It is determined whether or not it is equal to or less than the variance threshold value of. If the square root of F (L1, L2) is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold value in step 414, the variance of the estimated distances L1 and L2 in each time series is less than or equal to the predetermined variance threshold value in step 416. It suffices to determine whether or not it is. If the determination in step 416 is that the square root of F (L1, L2) is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold value and the variance of the estimated distances L1 and L2 in each time series is less than or equal to the predetermined variance threshold value, F. The distances L1 and L2 estimated from the minimum values of (L1, L2) are adopted as the relative positions between the antennas that improve the accuracy of code positioning, and the process ends. If the determination in step 416 is that the square root of F (L1, L2) is not less than or equal to the predetermined threshold value, or the variance of the estimated distances L1 and L2 in each time series is not less than or equal to the predetermined variance threshold value, the procedure is performed. The process proceeds to step 400, and the process of estimating the relative position between the antennas is performed again.

以上説明したように、本実施の形態によれば、速度差Aと速度差Bとの残差であるF(L1,L2)の平方根が所定の閾値以下であり、かつ推定した距離L1、L2の各々の時系列での分散が所定の分散閾値以下であることを判定することにより、推定したアンテナ間の相対位置の複数の値が、所定の範囲に収束していることを担保でき、測定値の精度を向上できる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the square root of F (L1, L2), which is the residual between the speed difference A and the speed difference B, is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, and the estimated distances L1 and L2. By determining that the variance in each time series of is less than or equal to a predetermined variance threshold, it can be ensured that the plurality of values of the estimated relative positions between the antennas converge within a predetermined range, and the measurement can be performed. The accuracy of the value can be improved.

また、信頼度が担保されたサンプルからF(L1,L2)の最小値を抽出し、当該最小値からアンテナ間の相対位置である距離L1、L2を推定することにより、第1の実施の形態よりもさらに高精度でアンテナ間の相対位置を推定できる。 Further, the first embodiment is performed by extracting the minimum value of F (L1, L2) from the sample whose reliability is guaranteed and estimating the distances L1 and L2 which are the relative positions between the antennas from the minimum value.
