Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of air pressure altimetry, and in particular to a calibration method and a calibration unit for a high-precision differential air pressure altimetry system. Background Art

[0002] The use of air pressure for altitude measurement has long been used in the field of aircraft navigation and is often used to assist GNSS altitude enhancement.

[0003] The GNSS positioning system is currently relatively mature and can provide users with accurate positioning services in a wide range of unobstructed outdoor spaces. However, it cannot guarantee positioning accuracy, reliability, and continuity in densely populated urban areas or tunnels. In addition, for indoor environments, since GNSS signals are often blocked by buildings, positioning accuracy drops rapidly and may even fail to be performed normally. In addition, when the satellite geometry is not ideal, the elevation direction is more easily affected than the horizontal direction, and the accuracy drops significantly. In order to solve the above problems, some elevation measurement schemes have been proposed, among which the most widely used is the method of measuring altitude using air pressure information.

[0004] In the article "Virtual Constellation of Barometric Altimetry Applied to CAPS" written by Academician Ai Guoxiang, it is proposed that the basic principle of barometric altitude measurement is that the atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude in the gravity field. By using barometric pressure sensors to measure meteorological parameters, the relative altitude of the base station and the user can be calculated.

[0005]

[0006] The above equation (1) is called the Laplace pressure height equation.

[0007] Among them, the air pressure P and P 0 Corresponding to the user height h and the base station height h respectively 0 ; atmospheric pressure P and P 0 The height difference between the two is hh 0 = Δh; the average temperature T in the atmosphere involved m =(T 0 +T R ) / 2,T 0 is the reference point temperature in degrees Celsius, T R is the user-measured temperature in degrees Celsius. Formula (1) is the basic formula for determining altitude using air pressure.

[0008] The reference station mentioned in this article is a fixed-position air pressure and temperature observation station that needs to be equipped with an air pressure measurement module. The air pressure measurement module needs to be installed at a fixed height h of the reference station. 0The user is a movable air pressure and temperature observation station, which needs to be equipped with an air pressure measurement module. It is installed at the user's fixed position h to collect the user's air pressure and temperature data in real time. The air pressure measurement module (also called air pressure height measurement module) includes an air pressure sensor chip for measuring air pressure data.

[0009] With the in-depth research and application of barometric altimetry, it was found that there are still some problems in barometric altimetry positioning. Lai Qifeng's patent "Altitude positioning method for real-time calibration of barometric altimetry results using satellite positioning information" points out that barometric altimetry has the characteristics of relatively high accuracy and short-term stability. However, when working for a long time, it will be affected by the environment (wind speed, temperature, humidity, etc.), and drift over time will occur, resulting in inconsistent measurement results for several consecutive days.

[0010] Based on the above technical background and application background, a method for constructing high-precision differential pressure altimetry is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0021] Step 6: Calculate the standard deviation of the difference between the new air pressure value after calibration of the jth air pressure measurement module and the original air pressure value of the ith air pressure measurement module at time t.

[0022] Step 7: Repeat step 6 to traverse all air pressure measurement modules other than i and obtain M-1 And for M-1 Summing to get

[0023] Step 8: Reselect the kth air pressure measurement module as the base station air pressure measurement module and repeat steps 5-7 to obtain

[0024] Step 9: Repeat step 8 to get a total of M

[0025] Step 10. In M Find the smallest The corresponding x-th air pressure measurement module is the base station air pressure measurement module;

[0026] Step 11: Analyze the M-1 barometric pressure measurement modules obtained by taking the xth barometric pressure measurement module as the reference station barometric pressure measurement module. Culling The pressure measurement modules with accuracy greater than the differential pressure altimetry system requirement are used as pressure measurement modules to be deployed at different observation stations, thereby completing the calibration of the differential pressure altimetry system.

[0027] As one of the improvements of the above technical solution, the number M of air pressure measurement modules selected in step 2 is at least several times the scale of the observation station where the air pressure measurement modules need to be deployed.

[0085] Example 1

[0086] The method for constructing high-precision differential pressure height measurement in embodiment 1 of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the steps include: Step 1, according to the system's requirements for the accuracy of the differential air pressure measurement system, select an air pressure measurement module that can meet the accuracy requirements according to the device manual indicator description;

[0087] Step 2: According to the scale of the user end and the model of the selected air pressure measurement module, the quantity M of each air pressure measurement module purchased is at least twice the scale of the user end; (It should be noted here that it is not limited to 2 times and can be set according to experience or actual conditions)

[0088] Step 3: In a constant temperature and pressure sealed box, carry out data collection of the air pressure measurement module. Specific methods:

[0089] 3.1 All the air pressure measurement modules to be tested are placed at the same height in the constant temperature and pressure box;

[0090] 3.2 All the air pressure measurement modules to be tested are powered by the same external DC power supply and cables of the same length, and there is no heat source inside the box;

[0091] 3.3 Collect the data output by all the air pressure measurement modules to be tested through the serial port, and store the data in the computer in real time after being stamped with the local time stamp of the computer;

[0092] 3.4 The test time shall not be less than 1 week;

[0093] Step 4: Process the collected data output by all the air pressure measurement modules as follows:

[0094] 4.1 Time preprocessing: First, align the start and end times of the air pressure data output by all the air pressure measurement modules to be tested;

[0095] 4.2 Data preprocessing. Remove bad values ​​from the raw pressure data output by all the pressure measurement modules to be tested. Remove the time points with no data at the same time from the pressure data output by all the pressure measurement modules to be tested;

[0096] 4.3 Get all air pressure measurement modules at time T 0 The same number of pressure values ​​between ~T.

[0097] Step 5: In T 0 In the time period from t to t, if the i-th pressure measurement module is used as the reference station pressure measurement module, the new pressure value of the j-th pressure measurement module after calibration at time t is for:

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] in, is the original air pressure value of the air pressure measurement module of the i-th block at time t; is the original air pressure value of the air pressure measurement module of the jth block at time t; T 0 The average value of the difference between the original air pressure value of the air pressure measurement module of the i-th block and the original air pressure value of the air pressure measurement module of the j-th block in the time period of T ~ T; N is the average value of the difference between the original air pressure value of the air pressure measurement module of the i-th block and the original air pressure value of the air pressure measurement module of the j-th block in the time period of T 0 The number of air pressure values ​​in the time period from A to T.

[0101] Step 6: At time t, the new air pressure value after calibration of the jth air pressure measurement module The original air pressure value of the i-th air pressure measurement module The standard deviation of the difference σ j , the expression is:

[0102]

[0103] in, is the new air pressure value after calibration of the j-th air pressure measurement module at time t, is the original air pressure value of the i-th air pressure measurement module at time t.

[0104] Step 7: Traverse all air pressure measurement modules other than i and obtain M-1 Find all M-1 , let it be

[0105] Step 8. Reselect a pressure altimeter module of base station k and repeat steps 1-4 to obtain

[0106] Step 9: Repeat step 8 to reselect the base station pressure height measurement module, and obtain a total of M

[0107] Step 10. Select The barometric pressure measurement module x is selected as the base station barometric pressure altimeter module of the group.

[0111] The different standard deviations of the pressure data output by each pressure measurement module due to individual differences in the pressure sensor chips will cause the deviations between the pressure data output by each pressure measurement module, which have been eliminated in step 5, to gradually become larger over time.

[0112] The purpose of step 6 is to eliminate the pressure measurement modules whose standard deviation is greater than the accuracy requirement of the differential pressure measurement system, so that the deviation between the pressure data output by the eliminated pressure measurement modules will not gradually increase over time. At the same time, the best pressure measurement module is selected as the reference station pressure measurement module and the remaining pressure measurement modules are selected as the observation station pressure measurement modules.

[0113] In this way, the height values ​​of each observation station calculated according to the differential pressure altimetry formula (1) will not become worse with the passage of time, and thus the system height measurement accuracy of the differential pressure altimetry system will not decrease with the passage of time.

[0119] A module power supply unit, used to provide power to each air pressure measurement module;

[0120] The display unit is used to display the air pressure measurement module selected by the data processing unit.

[0121] After selecting a pressure measurement module group that meets the system accuracy requirements in a constant temperature and pressure box, the present invention selects a reference station pressure altimetry module and a user-end pressure altimetry module that meet the requirements from the group of pressure measurement modules, and then performs differential pressure altimetry to output long-term stable and non-drifting elevation information.

[0122] like Figure 3, which is a schematic structural diagram of a constant temperature and constant pressure test box and a test air pressure measurement module in the box according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

[0123] After the differential pressure altimetry system is calibrated by the present invention, the selected pressure measurement module is deployed, and the differential pressure altimetry system is used to measure the altitude, including:

[0124] The selected base station pressure altimeter module is fixedly deployed at a set position, the pressure data at that position is measured, and the altitude of the base station pressure altimeter module is accurately measured; at the same time, other pressure measurement modules are deployed at different observation stations, and the pressure data at the corresponding observation stations are measured; according to the differential pressure altimeter formula (1), the altitude values ​​of the pressure measurement modules at each observation station are calculated.

[0125] From the above specific description of the present invention, it can be seen that the method of the present invention can effectively solve the shortcomings of the differential pressure altimetry system that the short-term accuracy of the altitude measurement is good but the long-term accuracy divergence due to the individual differences of the sensors, and realize the differential pressure altimetry system with high accuracy and long-term stable altitude output without drift.
