- 适合复杂飞行环境下的高精度实时无人机定位应用
结合单个距离信标与机载光学惯性里程计的定位方案,提供轻量级多维测量,适用于无人机定位。然而,此类轻量传感器性能受动态环境影响,且动态模型受空中流场干扰严重。为此,提出一种配备估计可靠性评估器的自适应滑窗估计算法,同时估计状态、噪声协方差矩阵与空气阻力。基于后验状态与协方差评估气动效应,设计增广卡尔曼滤波器预处理多维测量并继承历史信息,再通过逆威沙特平滑器估计后验状态与协方差矩阵。为抑制潜在发散,引入可靠性评估器推断估计误差,并依据误差传播判断各传感器可信度。在标准与恶劣环境中开展大量实验,验证方法的自适应性与鲁棒性,定位均方根误差低至0.15米,优于当前最优方法。真实闭环控制实验进一步验证其实际应用能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Localization using a single range anchor combined with onboard optical-inertial odometry offers a lightweight solution that provides multidimensional measurements for the positioning of unmanned aerial vehicles. Unfortunately, the performance of such lightweight sensors varies with the dynamic environment, and the fidelity of the dynamic model is also severely affected by environmental aerial flow. To address this challenge, we propose an adaptive sliding window estimator equipped with an estimation reliability evaluator, where the states, noise covariance matrices and aerial drag are estimated simultaneously. The aerial drag effects are first evaluated based on posterior states and covariance. Then, an augmented Kalman filter is designed to pre-process multidimensional measurements and inherit historical information. Subsequently, an inverse-Wishart smoother is employed to estimate posterior states and covariance matrices. To further suppress potential divergence, a reliability evaluator is devised to infer estimation errors. We further determine the fidelity of each sensor based on the error propagation. Extensive experiments are conducted in both standard and harsh environments, demonstrating the adaptability and robustness of the proposed method. The root mean square error reaches 0.15 m, outperforming the state-of-the-art approach. Real-world close-loop control experiments are additionally performed to verify the estimator's competence in practical application.
