DVL-DeepONet: A Physics-Guided Operator Learning for Resilient Underwater Navigation

- 基于物理约束的深度算子网络,直接从传感器数据映射速度向量。
- 实测10,000米路径上,比基线方法精度提升40%。
- 适用于缺惯性传感器或部分波束失效的复杂水下场景。
自主水下航行器(AUV)依赖惯性传感器与多普勒测速仪(DVL)融合进行导航。标准系统中,DVL通过测量四个波束速度来估计航速矢量。然而在实际任务中,受海洋障碍物、海底反射或环境扰动影响,DVL可能接收噪声或不完整波束数据。此外,部分低成本平台为简化系统而省去惯性传感器。此时,在波束缺失情况下可靠估计航速变得困难,导致导航性能下降。为应对挑战并实现稳健水下导航,本文提出DVL-DeepONet——一种物理引导的深度神经算子框架及其三种变体。该模型可处理多种工况:(i) 惯性与DVL耦合数据下的抗噪估计,(ii) 纯DVL学习,(iii) 波束测量恢复。通过学习将时序惯性/DVL观测直接映射至车辆速度的非线性算子,并施加DVL测量物理一致性约束,该方法在传感退化条件下仍能实现鲁棒速度估计。框架通过真实AUV实验验证,累计路径达约10,000米。结果表明,所提DVL-DeepONet架构相较基线模型方法与学习型算法提升40%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) rely heavily on the fusion of inertial sensors and Doppler velocity logs (DVLs) for navigation. In standard autonomous navigation systems, the DVL measures four beam velocities, thereby enabling the estimation of the AUV velocity vector. However, during real-world missions, the DVL may receive noisy or incomplete beam measurements due to marine obstacles, seabed reflections, or environmental disturbances. Furthermore, some low-cost underwater platforms operate without inertial sensors to reduce system complexity and cost. In such cases, reliable estimation of the AUV velocity vector in real-world missing beam scenarios becomes challenging, leading to degraded navigation solutions. To circumvent these challenges and enable resilient underwater navigation, we propose DVL-DeepONet, a physics-guided deep neural operator framework along with three variants. The proposed models are designed to estimate DVL-based velocity information under multiple operational scenarios, including (i) noise-resilient estimation in coupled inertial/DVL measurements, (ii) DVL-only learning, and (iii) beam measurement recovery. By learning a nonlinear operator that maps temporal inertial/DVL observations directly to vehicle velocity while enforcing DVL measurement physics through a consistency constraint, the proposed approach enables robust velocity estimation even under degraded sensing conditions. The proposed framework is validated using real-world AUV experiments, comprising a cumulative path length of approximately 10,000 m. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DVL-DeepONet architectures outperform baseline model-based approaches and learning-based algorithms by 40%.
