AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for sonar detection suffer from large errors when converting azimuth-range information into latitude and longitude coordinates, especially at long distances and when the data capacity of autonomous unmanned platforms is limited, making it difficult to achieve refined target trajectory acquisition.
By employing a standard geographic ellipsoidal surface model and combining iterative feedback control with a recursive solution method, the latitude and longitude coordinates of the target are calculated iteratively through the calculation of reference point parameters and feedback updates, thereby reducing errors and improving accuracy.
It enables rapid and accurate calculation of target latitude and longitude information under conditions of long detection distance and limited data, with an error on the order of one part per million, and is suitable for multi-cycle accurate trajectory mapping.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of target orientation, and particularly relates to a target absolute geographic coordinate calculation method based on known target orientation distance information. BACKGROUND
[0002] 1. Basic situation of traditional technology
[0003] When a sonar detects a target, the orientation-distance measurement information of the target is directly given. In multi-period detection, people not only care about the orientation-distance information of the target, but also care about the mutual position relationship of the target between multiple periods. Converting the orientation-distance information into absolute geographic coordinate information represented by latitude and longitude can directly and intuitively give the target track in multi-period observation, thereby being beneficial to the motion information research and judgment of the target. The existing methods for converting the orientation-distance into latitude and longitude coordinates mainly include the following two ways:
[0004] (1) Approximate rectangular coordinate conversion method: the method regards the earth surface of the sonar as an infinite plane. The coordinate conversion is directly performed according to the conversion mode of polar coordinates into rectangular coordinates.
[0005] (2) Table lookup method: an approximate calculation formula and a net format geographic coordinate mass data are set in advance. The database is looked up according to the current measurement value, and the target track is approximately calculated.
[0006] 2. Defects of traditional technology
[0007] (1) The earth surface is an ellipsoid surface. With the increase of the action distance of the sonar and the accurate analysis demand for the motion elements of the target, the analysis error of the approximate rectangular coordinate conversion method is too large, and the method is not conducive to the acquisition of the fine track of the target.
[0008] (2) The table lookup method has large error of the approximate formula. Especially for the sonar on the autonomous unmanned platform, the data capacity is limited. In the case of limited data capacity, the analysis error is further deteriorated. SUMMARY
[0009] In view of the defects of the prior art, the application provides a target absolute geographic coordinate calculation method based on known target orientation distance information. A model is established according to a standard geographic ellipsoid surface. An accurate calculation formula of latitude and longitude coordinates into orientation-distance coordinates is given (see step S3). In view of the difficulty in analytically expressing the conversion relationship formula of the orientation-distance coordinates into the latitude and longitude coordinates of the geographic ellipsoid surface, the technical solution provides a recursive solution method of iterative feedback control. The method has clear physical meaning, fast convergence speed, small iteration number, and can quickly and accurately solve the latitude and longitude information of the target.
[0010] The application is implemented by the following technical solutions:
[0011] A target absolute geographic coordinate calculation method of known target azimuth distance information, comprising the following steps:
[0012] S1: Calculate the parameters A related to the reference point a , A b , A R ;
[0013]
[0014] S2: Estimate the longitude and latitude coordinates (x T , y T ) of the target according to (θ, ρ);
[0015]
[0016] S3: Calculate the corresponding estimated azimuth distance coordinates (θ T , ρ T ) according to the estimated target longitude and latitude coordinates (x T , y T );

[0018] Wherein
[0019]
[0020]
[0021]
[0022]
[0023]
[0024]
[0025] S4: Calculate the azimuth and distance estimation deviation (Δ θ , Δ ρ ), establish feedback, and update (θ, ρ);
[0026] Δ θ = θ T - θ
[0027] Δ ρ = ρ T - ρ
[0028] Δ θ = θ T - θ
[0029] Δ ρ = ρ T-ρ
[0030] S5: the updated (θ, ρ) is substituted into steps S2-S4, loop calculation, and the estimated deviation (Δ θ , Δ ρ ) is observed;
[0031] S6: if (Δ θ , Δ ρ ) meets the design index, the loop is exited, and the estimated target longitude (x T , y T ) is given.
[0032] Preferably, in the step S1, the longitude and latitude coordinates (x A , y A ) of the reference point A, the earth major axis a, the earth minor axis b, the target T reference true north direction θ, the distance ρ, and the sign represent the sign function.
[0033] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0034] 1. The present application adopts a standard geographic ellipsoid earth longitude and latitude model, which is more in line with the actual situation and is suitable for multi-cycle accurate trajectory description of a sonar target at a large detection distance.
[0035] 2. The present application provides a bearing-distance-to-longitude and latitude coordinate conversion algorithm, which fully considers the sign changes of north-south latitude and east-west longitude, is universal for the entire earth surface, and is suitable for the current national strategy demand of China's deep blue.
[0036] 3. The present application provides an adaptive error feedback control system, which gradually converges through several loop iterations, has a fast convergence speed, and is suitable for real-time solution of target trajectory.
[0037] 4. The present application provides a bearing and distance error precision reaching the order of magnitude of one ten-thousandth, which is far superior to the demand for accurate description of target trajectory. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
