Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of navigation equipment testing technology, and more specifically, relates to a method and system for reconstructing near-surface trajectories based on geodesic recursion. Background Technology

[0002] Before inertial navigation equipment is handed over for application, it needs to undergo accuracy testing to assess whether its performance meets the standards. However, the geographical location of the Earth's poles makes it inconvenient for countries in the low and mid-latitudes, such as China, to conduct field tests. Furthermore, due to the differences in the polar region programming algorithm and working mode between inertial navigation and the low and mid-latitudes, this stage of verification cannot be omitted.

[0003] Therefore, previous researchers have studied virtual polar region technology, which uses mathematical methods to transform experimental data from mid- and low-latitude regions to polar regions for equivalent navigation test verification. The trajectory reconstruction process is one of the key steps in virtual polar region technology, aiming to plan a motion trajectory in the polar region similar to that of the actual experimental test.

[0004] Patent CN2019107309381 discloses a trajectory reconstruction method based on a lateral geographic coordinate system. By adopting the trajectory reconstruction principle of keeping the attitude matrix, velocity and altitude information under the lateral geographic system unchanged, the polar position trajectory is reconstructed by integrating the lateral velocity after compensating the ellipsoid correction coefficient.

[0005] However, this method has the following drawbacks and limitations: it actually alters the motion characteristics of the carrier relative to the local horizontal plane, which contradicts the original design intent and introduces additional errors into the experiment, making subsequent accuracy evaluation more difficult. Furthermore, existing technologies cannot flexibly set the position and direction of the reconstructed trajectory, resulting in significant limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Step 9: Calculate the simulated position of the carrier at time i+1. and the azimuth angle of the simulated trajectory termination

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0041] The conventions for initial conditions and variable symbols in this invention are as follows:

[0042] (1) The Earth is regarded as a rotating ellipsoid, the geoid is approximately regarded as an ellipsoid, and the geodetic height is regarded as the ellipsoidal height;

[0043] (2) Given that the carrier begins its voyage at time 0, its position information is measured. Let P... i The position of the carrier at time i is represented by variable B. i L i h i The components represent the geodetic latitude, geodetic longitude, and geodetic altitude of the carrier at time i. In this invention, the "carrier" refers to any object near the Earth's surface that moves with reference to the ground, such as vehicles, ships, submersibles, and aircraft.

[0044] (3) Set the initial location at the same geodetic height according to the test requirements. By variables h0 is composed of the initial latitude, initial longitude, and initial altitude of the simulation area, respectively. The initial direction of motion is...

Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the geodetic element calculation for the simulated trajectory provided by the present invention. The situation shown in the diagram is the trajectory reconstruction on the ground surface, i.e., the elevation is 0. The trajectory of a carrier with elevation changes is still a geodetic line projected onto the ground surface. The projection distance of a trajectory of the same length onto the ground is different under different ground curvatures, and the geodetic elevation changes linearly.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, this invention proposes a near-surface trajectory reconstruction method based on geodesic recursion, h ab =H b -H a The recursive process from point i (corresponding to time i) in the simulated region to point i+1 is as follows:

[0055] Step 3: Calculate cosK, and determine the quadrant in which K lies based on the signs of dB and dL, thereby determining the specific value of the average azimuth angle K:

[0056] cosK = MdB / S i,i+1

[0057] If dB is the y-axis and dL is the x-axis, then if dB>0 and dL>0, K is in the first quadrant; if dB>0 and dL<0, it is in the second quadrant, and so on.

[0058] Step 4: Calculate the initial azimuth angle Ki,i+1,s Termination azimuth angle K i,i+1,e and the initial azimuth angle of the simulated trajectory during this period (This term is only calculated when i≠0):

[0064] Among them, the radius of curvature of the ground surface where the measured trajectory segment is located The radius of curvature of the ground surface where the simulated trajectory segment is located This represents the latitude of the simulated position at time i.

[0065] Step 6: Calculate the radius M of the meridian circle in the simulated region. * And the radius N of the simulated region's east-west circle * :

[0066]

[0067] Step 7: Calculate the latitude increment (dB) of the simulated trajectory during this period. * The longitude increment dL of the simulated trajectory during this period * And the change in geodesic azimuth angle dK of the simulated trajectory during this period * :

[0068]

[0069]

[0070]

[0071] Step 8: To improve calculation accuracy, you can use... Replace Steps 5 through 7 and Repeat Steps 5 through 7. The iteration can stop when a threshold is reached or the required precision is achieved.

[0072] Step 9: Calculate the simulated position of the carrier at time i+1. and the azimuth angle of the simulated trajectory termination

[0073]

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] in, This represents the longitude of the simulated position at time i.

[0077] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
