Abstract

The invention provides a visual-inertial combined navigation method, which comprises the following steps of: acquiring a visual image through imaging equipment, extracting feature points/ blocks from the visual image, and matching with corresponding reference points/ blocks of a reference image; grouping the feature points/ blocks succeeding in matching, and determining a position visual estimation value and a posture visual estimation value of a navigation carrier according to each group of matched feature points/ blocks; and fusing the position visual estimation value, the posture visual estimation value and a position inertial estimation value and a posture inertial estimation value which are acquired by an inertial measurement unit, and outputting a visual-inertial combined navigation result. According to the visual-inertial combined navigation method of the embodiment, errors of an inertial navigation system are corrected by using a visual navigation technology, so that the navigation precision is improved, and autonomous flight capability of the navigation carrier is realized.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of navigation, in particular to a visual-inertial integrated navigation method. Background technique [0002] The process of guiding the navigation vehicle from the starting point to the destination is called navigation. There are many technical approaches to navigation, such as radio navigation, celestial navigation, satellite navigation, infrared navigation, inertial navigation, and visual navigation. [0003] Among them, inertial navigation uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to calculate the voyage, infer the current position and the next destination, and has strong autonomy and is not susceptible to interference. It is the main navigation method at present. However, the inertial navigation system (Inertial Navigation System, INS) cannot fully meet the needs of practical applications due to its inherent accumulation of navigation errors, the navigation accuracy decreases with time, and the equipment cost is high. [0004]...
