Embodiment 1

[0121] Embodiment 1, see attached figure 1 A kind of underwater beacon location method of underwater vehicle, comprises the following steps:

[0122] A. Take any point in the positioning area as the origin, set the east, north, and sky directions as x, y, and z axes respectively, and establish an underwater local inertial coordinate system;

[0123] B. Obtain the initial position of the underwater vehicle in the underwater local inertial system through the GPS system carried by the underwater vehicle;

[0124] C. Establish the kinematics model and observation model of the underwater vehicle and perform discretization;

[0125] The establishment method of the kinematic model is as follows:

[0126] Define the state vector as:

[0127] x=[x y v cx v cy ] T

[0128] Among them: x, y are the horizontal position of the underwater vehicle in the underwater local inertial coordinate system; v cx , v cy is the unknown current velocity;

[0129] Deriving x and adding the noi...

Embodiment 2

[0234] Embodiment 2, the algorithm pseudocode of the present invention is summarized as:

[0235]

Embodiment 3

[0236] Example 3, using the method described in Example 1 to verify through experimental data.

[0237]As a comparison, this embodiment also shows the positioning results of the traditional underwater single-beacon positioning method. The method of collecting experimental data is as follows: the surface ship is equipped with GPS, hydrophone and compass, and performs two-dimensional movement on the water surface. The trajectory of the surface ship observed by GPS is used as a real reference, and the hydrophone receives the underwater acoustic signal emitted by the underwater acoustic beacon fixed on the bottom of the water, and obtains the transmission time of the underwater acoustic signal. Since the surface ship is not equipped with a Doppler velocimeter, the GPS track is used to make a difference and the heading angle measured by the electronic compass is used to simulate the ground speed of the aircraft observed by the Doppler velocimeter. In the experiment, the underwater...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of underwater positioning, in particular to a positioning method for an underwater vehicle. The underwater acoustic beacon periodically broadcasts the underwater acoustic signal; when the underwater vehicle does not receive the underwater acoustic signal, it uses its own electronic compass, depth gauge and reads its own propeller speed information to perform dead reckoning, and when it receives After observing the absolute velocity measured by the mounted Doppler velocimeter, construct the ocean current velocity observation and correct the ocean current velocity through the Kalman filter; after the underwater vehicle receives the underwater acoustic signal, consider the unknown of the underwater sound velocity, The position error of the underwater acoustic beacon and the clock drift of the underwater acoustic signal transceiver are based on the extended Kalman filter algorithm and the expectation maximization algorithm, and the underwater acoustic signal transmission time is used as the observation variable to update the position of the underwater vehicle. The invention can ensure that the underwater vehicle still obtains ideal positioning performance under the condition of clock drift, beacon position and sound velocity setting errors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of underwater positioning, in particular to a positioning method for an underwater vehicle. Background technique [0002] Accurate position feedback is the basis for underwater vehicles to complete established underwater tasks. Due to the rapid attenuation of underwater electromagnetic wave signals, the GNSS system, which is widely used in land and sky positioning, cannot be applied underwater. The existing mainstream underwater positioning methods include dead reckoning methods represented by inertial navigation and underwater acoustic positioning methods represented by long baseline positioning. Among them, inertial navigation equipment tends to produce large cumulative errors over time, and cannot be used for underwater positioning for a long time, and high-precision inertial navigation equipment is extremely expensive, which limits its application in underwater vehicles. The existing mainstream underwa...
