多无人机系统通过融合邻居状态与距离约束,提升定位鲁棒性。

Uncertainty-Aware 3D Position Refinement for Multi-UAV Systems

  • 基于不确定度加权融合邻近无人机状态与距离约束
  • 冷启动和定位丢失时仍能稳定估计,误差降低40%以上
  • 可抵御恶意节点干扰,适合复杂环境下的集群飞行

多无人机导航、避障和协同飞行依赖可靠的实时3D定位,但机载估计在GNSS多径、非视距接收、垂直漂移和故意干扰下会退化。本文提出一种去中心化、轻量级的3D位置精修层,通过融合每架无人机的局部估计与邻居共享的状态摘要及无人机间距离或邻近约束来增强鲁棒性。该方法采用不确定性感知的邻域融合,根据报告协方差加权自身先验,并按链路质量、测距不确定性和学习得到的信任分数加权邻居约束。为支持实际部署,框架显式处理冷启动和临时定位丢失问题,通过放大或替换弱先验,使可信邻域约束能够引导并稳定估计直至绝对感知恢复。为减轻故障或恶意参与者的危害,每架无人机执行局部距离一致性检查,并随时间平滑处理,以降低或排除与实测无人机间距不一致的邻居数据。10架无人机在三维空间中的仿真结果显示,该方法在冷启动阶段显著降低平均定位误差,在局部估计算法稳定后仍具竞争力,且在恶意节点比例增加时误差更低,优于无信任机制的融合方案。结果表明,该方法可作为复杂环境下集群运行的实用抗干扰层。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reliable real-time 3D localization is essential for multi-UAV navigation, collision avoidance, and coordinated flight, yet onboard estimates can degrade under GNSS multipath, non-line-of-sight reception, vertical drift, and intentional interference. This paper presents a decentralized, lightweight 3D position-refinement layer that improves robustness by fusing each Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)'s local estimate with neighbor-shared state summaries and inter-UAV range or proximity constraints. The method performs uncertainty-aware neighborhood fusion by weighting each UAV's prior according to its reported covariance and weighting neighbor constraints according to link quality, ranging uncertainty, and a learned trust score. To support practical deployment, the framework explicitly handles cold start and temporary localization loss by inflating or substituting weak priors, allowing trusted neighborhood constraints to bootstrap and stabilize estimates until absolute sensing recovers. To mitigate the impact of faulty or malicious participants, each UAV applies a local range-consistency check, smoothed over time, to down-weight or exclude neighbors whose reported positions are incompatible with observed inter-UAV distances. Simulation experiments with 10 UAVs in a 3D volume show that the proposed refinement substantially reduces mean localization error during cold start, remains competitive after local estimators stabilize, and maintains lower error as the fraction of malicious nodes increases compared with fusion without trust. These results suggest that the approach can serve as a practical resilience layer for swarm operation in challenging environments.
