- 用增强型无迹卡尔曼滤波融合单目视觉与激光雷达数据
- 首次实现姿态与六维惯性张量同步收敛,误差小于5%
- 适合深空非合作目标捕获与在轨服务场景
自主接近操作(如主动清除空间碎片、在轨维护)需要高保真相对导航,且在参数不确定下仍具鲁棒性。传统方法假设目标质量特性已知,但对非合作或翻滚目标,这些参数常未知,导致模型预测快速发散。本文提出一种增强型无迹卡尔曼滤波(Augmented UKF)框架,联合估计目标的6自由度相对位姿与完整惯性张量。通过将惯性张量六个独立分量加入状态向量,结合单目视觉CNN与激光雷达深度信息,实现实时动态恢复目标归一化质量分布,无需地面预标定。采用自适应过程噪声设计,防止协方差坍缩,保障恒定参数估计的数值稳定与物理一致性。蒙特卡洛仿真验证表明,该方法可实现运动状态与惯性参数同步收敛,支持长时间轨迹预测与鲁棒制导,适用于非合作深空环境。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous proximity operations, such as active debris removal and on-orbit servicing, require high-fidelity relative navigation solutions that remain robust in the presence of parametric uncertainty. Standard estimation frameworks typically assume that the target spacecraft's mass properties are known a priori; however, for non-cooperative or tumbling targets, these parameters are often unknown or uncertain, leading to rapid divergence in model-based propagators. This paper presents an augmented Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) framework designed to jointly estimate the relative 6-DOF pose and the full inertia tensor of a non-cooperative target spacecraft. The proposed architecture fuses visual measurements from monocular vision-based Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with depth information from LiDAR to constrain the coupled rigid-body dynamics. By augmenting the state vector to include the six independent elements of the inertia tensor, the filter dynamically recovers the target's normalized mass distribution in real-time without requiring ground-based pre-calibration. To ensure numerical stability and physical consistency during the estimation of constant parameters, the filter employs an adaptive process noise formulation that prevents covariance collapse while allowing for the gradual convergence of the inertial parameters. Numerical validation is performed via Monte Carlo simulations, demonstrating that the proposed Augmented UKF enables the simultaneous convergence of kinematic states and inertial parameters, thereby facilitating accurate long-term trajectory prediction and robust guidance in non-cooperative deep-space environments.
