Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application discloses a deep-water multi-beam sounding system installation measurement method and belongs to the technical field of surveying and mapping. BACKGROUND
[0002] With more and more professional research vessels being used in water transportation and ocean investigation, in order to realize high-precision measurement results, accurately determining the positions and angle deviations of a plurality of sensors in a ship body and between each other is one of the problems to be solved in the research vessel industry. At present, the measurement precision of various sensors is higher and higher, and the measurement precision of the installation positions and angle deviations of the sensors in the ship body coordinate system has become one of the main factors restricting the precision of the final measurement results.
[0003] The ships on which the deep-water multi-beam is installed often have the following commonalities: 1) such comprehensive ships also carry other towed equipment or underwater sampling equipment, and have larger front and rear deck operation spaces, and the rear operation deck is often lower and closer to the waterline to meet the requirements of the launching and landing of the towed equipment or underwater sampling equipment; 2) more antenna heads are required for various instruments and equipment. In order to avoid interference between GNSS antenna heads and ensure the signal receiving strength of various antennas, such ships often have higher masts, and there are a plurality of antennas on the masts; 3) some sensors are placed at positions deep in the ship cabin. In order to meet the requirements of indoor conditions, small vibration, constant temperature and the like for some equipment, attitude sensors and gravimeters and the like are generally placed at positions close to the center of gravity of the ship body in the instrument room of the ship; 4) in order to ensure that the ship body has enough space to install the acoustic transducer array, the ship bottom is designed to have a special transducer area, or has a fairing or a Gondola structure, and the lower surface of the structure is large and flat. The commonalities have the following influences on the installation measurement of the deep-water multi-beam: (1) the visibility in the cabin is poor, the distances between the sensors are far, and multiple turning points are often required to measure, but multiple turning points easily affect the measurement precision; (2) during the construction of the ship, multiple departments often work collaboratively, and the scene is chaotic, which has a greater uncertain influence on the measurement work; (3) the measurement work cannot be completed in a short time, there are a plurality of sensors to be measured, and the spatial distances are far, so it is very important to ensure that each measurement is based on the original results; (4) such ships often perform construction on a floating dock, and the shaking of the floating dock has a great influence on the measurement results of the total station. Therefore, it is of great practical significance and good application prospect to quickly and efficiently perform the measurement work of the deep-water multi-beam sounding system under the premise of meeting the precision requirements of engineering practical applications.

[0054] S3: measuring the position and attitude information of the GNSS receiver, acoustic transducer sensor and attitude sensor of the ship body.
[0055] The ship body coordinate system is as follows Figure 2 : a self-defined ship coordinate system is equivalent to establishing a coordinate base point, and all measurement and calculation work is carried out with reference to this three-dimensional system, specifically including the spatial position and angle relationship of the sensor and the instrument, the Y axis points to the bow as positive, the vertical line perpendicular to the XOY plane and passing through the origin is the Z axis, the Z axis is downward as positive, under the constraint of the left-hand coordinate system criterion, the X axis passes through the origin and points to the right side as positive;

The installation process of the installation support is:
[0072] Select several points on the mounting bracket to measure, and calculate whether these points are on a plane. The formula for calculating flatness is as follows:
[0073] As Figure 3 , in the transducer mounting bracket, A is the measurement point on the bracket, and B is the surface of the bracket.

[0078] The bow direction vector of the transmitting transducer is projected onto the XOY plane of the ship coordinate system;
[0079] The included angle between the projected bow direction vector of the transmitting transducer and the bow of the ship is calculated to obtain the bow installation deviation of the transmitting transducer △yaw;
[0080] Rotate all observation points (x T ,y T ,z T ) on the surface of the transmitting transducer around the Z axis by △yaw to obtain (x T1 ,y T1 ,z T1 ):

[0085]
[0086] The transverse installation deviation calculation step is:
