Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an unmanned helicopter optoelectronic reconnaissance device, in particular to a bullet impact point deviation calculation method based on the unmanned helicopter optoelectronic reconnaissance device. Background Art

[0002] The optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment of unmanned helicopters is mainly used in battlefield reconnaissance, target positioning and tracking, fire guidance, and damage effect assessment. Its combat mission is to conduct day and night reconnaissance, identification and tracking of targets, provide real-time reconnaissance images to the outside world, and guide the semi-active guided artillery shells to complete the precision strike mission. This optoelectronic equipment includes visible light television, infrared thermal imager, laser light finder, video tracker, servo control system, and optoelectronic management computer; visible light television and infrared thermal imager are mainly used to output real-time reconnaissance images to facilitate operators to observe battlefield conditions and find targets; laser light finder is used to measure target distance and illumination guidance; video tracker is used for image processing and tracking deviation calculation; servo control system is used to measure optoelectronic equipment angle, stabilize search, and realize automatic tracking of targets based on the tracking deviation calculated by the video tracker. As the information processing and control center, the optoelectronic management computer receives instructions from ground mission control equipment, controls the laser light finder to measure distance, and controls the video tracker and servo control system to track targets; collects the combined inertial navigation data on the aircraft, the distance value returned by the laser light finder, and the optoelectronic equipment angle returned by the servo control system, and calculates the target position and impact point deviation.

[0003] During a mission, if the shell misses the target, the optoelectronic equipment needs to calculate the deviation of the impact point relative to the target and report it to the command system. The command system makes corrections based on the deviation to improve the strike accuracy. At present, the method of calculating the deviation is mostly to freeze the current video image at the ground mission control seat, obtain the pixel deviation between the impact point position and the target position, calculate the angle difference through the pixel deviation and the current sensor field of view value, and then calculate the deviation through coordinate transformation; this method is suitable for situations where the terrain is not very undulating (the target point and the impact point are at the same altitude). If the terrain is undulating, the calculation accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the existing technology has the problem that the calculation accuracy cannot be guaranteed in areas with large terrain fluctuations. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for calculating the impact point deviation based on the optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment of an unmanned helicopter. The present invention also has high calculation accuracy in areas with large terrain fluctuations.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is a method for calculating the impact point deviation based on the optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment of an unmanned helicopter, comprising the following steps:

[0006] The first step is initialization; the coordinates of the target in the earth's rectangular coordinate system (X a, Y a , Z a ) and the coordinates of the impact point in the geocentric coordinate system (X b , Y b , Z b ) is set to 0;

[0007] Step 2: Determine whether the laser light meter is measuring distance. If yes, wait. If yes, proceed to step 3.

[0008] The third step is to collect the data set (d, α) of the laser light meter at the current distance measurement point in real time. F ,β F ,γ F ,L,B,h,θ AZ ,θ EL ), where d is the slant distance value of the current distance measuring point output by the laser light meter relative to the photoelectric device, α F is the aircraft heading angle output by the inertial navigation system, β F is the aircraft pitch angle output by the inertial navigation system, γ F is the aircraft roll angle output by the inertial navigation system, L is the aircraft longitude output by the inertial navigation system, B is the aircraft latitude output by the inertial navigation system, h is the aircraft altitude output by the inertial navigation system, θ AZ is the azimuth angle output by the servo system, θ EL is the pitch angle output by the servo system;

[0009] Step 4: Calculate the coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the current distance measurement point in the geodetic rectangular coordinate system and the longitude value L' and latitude value B' according to the data set collected in step 3;

[0010] Step 5: Determine the received ground mission control device command. If it is a "save target coordinates" command, save the value of (X, Y, Z, L', B') as the target coordinate value (X a , Y a , Z a , L a , B a ), if it is a "save impact point coordinates" command, the value of (X, Y, Z, L', B') is saved as the coordinate value of the impact point (X b , Y b , Z b , L b , B b ); After saving, return to the second step and execute until the target coordinates and impact point coordinates are saved;

[0011] Step 6: Calculate the distance deviation ΔL and deviation direction θ of the impact point relative to the target.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses a laser light meter to measure the distance of the target and the impact point to obtain the slant distance value, and combines the aircraft heading angle, aircraft pitch angle, aircraft inclination angle, aircraft longitude, aircraft latitude, aircraft altitude, photoelectric azimuth, and photoelectric pitch angle during the distance measurement to calculate the distance deviation ΔL and direction deviation θ of the impact point relative to the target point, which has the following advantages: first, the slant distance value calculation is not affected by the terrain; second, the target and the impact point can be measured at any time when the aircraft is flying, which is easy to operate; third, on the basis of the existing photoelectric equipment, no hardware resources need to be added, and the function upgrade of the photoelectric equipment can be realized by adding the corresponding software package, and the application method is simple.
