Enhancing Underwater Navigation through Cross-Correlation-Aware Deep INS/DVL Fusion

  • 设计新框架,显式建模深度学习输出与滤波器间的噪声交叉相关性。
  • 实测显示速度和姿态误差置信度提升超10%,优于传统方法。
  • 适合做水下无人艇导航的工程师或研究者,尤其关注滤波器一致性。

自主水下航行器的精确导航高度依赖多普勒声学测速仪(DVL)的速度测量精度。近年来,深度学习通过利用多模态传感器间的时空依赖关系,在提升DVL输出方面展现出显著潜力。然而,将这些估计结果融入基于模型的滤波器(如扩展卡尔曼滤波器)时,会引入统计不一致问题,特别是过程噪声与测量噪声之间的交叉相关性。本文提出一种考虑交叉相关性的深度惯性/多普勒融合框架,基于BeamsNet(一种用于融合DVL与惯性数据估计水下航行器速度的卷积神经网络),将其输出整合进能显式处理噪声源间交叉相关性的导航滤波器中。该方法提升了滤波器的一致性,更准确地反映传感器误差结构。在两个真实水下轨迹上的实验表明,所提方法在状态不确定性方面优于最小二乘法及忽略交叉相关性的方法,速度与姿态角偏差置信度提升超过10%。除实证性能外,该框架还提供了将深度学习输出嵌入随机滤波器的理论合理机制。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The accurate navigation of autonomous underwater vehicles critically depends on the precision of Doppler velocity log (DVL) velocity measurements. Recent advancements in deep learning have demonstrated significant potential in improving DVL outputs by leveraging spatiotemporal dependencies across multiple sensor modalities. However, integrating these estimates into model-based filters, such as the extended Kalman filter, introduces statistical inconsistencies, most notably, cross-correlations between process and measurement noise. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing a cross-correlation-aware deep INS/DVL fusion framework. Building upon BeamsNet, a convolutional neural network designed to estimate AUV velocity using DVL and inertial data, we integrate its output into a navigation filter that explicitly accounts for the cross-correlation induced between the noise sources. This approach improves filter consistency and better reflects the underlying sensor error structure. Evaluated on two real-world underwater trajectories, the proposed method outperforms both least squares and cross-correlation-neglecting approaches in terms of state uncertainty. Notably, improvements exceed 10% in velocity and misalignment angle confidence metrics. Beyond demonstrating empirical performance, this framework provides a theoretically principled mechanism for embedding deep learning outputs within stochastic filters.
