TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of satellite positioning and navigation, in particular to a satellite-based augmented positioning device and a rapid starting method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing conventional GNSS positioning device can only achieve centimeter-level positioning through RTK positioning technology in a public network environment, and needs to be connected to a notebook computer before starting the positioning function, and professional settings are required, which is cumbersome and not conducive to industry application popularization.

[0003] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in power grid inspection in recent years, but there is currently no positioning device that can cover the positioning in areas without public network coverage. The autonomous inspection operation of UAVs strongly depends on RTK signals to provide centimeter-level positioning signals for the UAVs, and the inspection operation is carried out by following fixed shooting points and shooting actions. The existing GNSS receiver cannot meet the positioning requirements of UAV autonomous inspection in all areas, especially in areas without public network coverage.

[0004] Patent CN202211269687.X proposes a power grid UAV inspection real-time positioning method and system, which proposes a method of using PPP-RTK combined with an inertial navigation system (INS) tight combination model and using PPP-RTK, INS, and camera sensor vision (Vision) tight combination model to realize real-time positioning of the UAV. However, this method has insufficient positioning accuracy, and it is difficult to achieve high-precision positioning in all areas during base station switching and visual recognition under occlusion conditions, and the safety is insufficient.

[0005] The present application proposes a satellite-based augmented positioning device and a rapid starting method, which can improve the starting speed of the satellite-based augmented positioning device, ensure one-key starting application under the premise of high-precision positioning, and improve the efficiency of industry applications such as UAV inspection positioning and surveying. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims to provide a satellite-based augmented positioning device and a rapid starting method to solve the problems raised in the background.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A satellite-based augmented positioning rapid starting method, comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1, after starting the power supply by pressing the key, automatically starting the power inspection reference station PPP mode to receive satellite observation data of GNSS multi-system;

[0010] S2, judging whether the precision index root mean square (RMS) of the GNSS receiver of the user terminal is greater than a first set value; when RMS>the first set value, the fixed solution based on the PPP-AR / PPP-RTK algorithm continues to converge on the satellite observation data, and step S3 is entered; when RMS≤the first set value, step S3 is directly entered;

[0011] S3, calculating the base station coordinate data based on the fuzzy adaptive Kalman filtering algorithm;

[0012] S4, recording the first base station coordinate;

[0013] S5, recording the Nth base station coordinate, N>2;

[0014] S6, obtaining the average value according to the base station coordinates obtained in steps S3, S4 and S5, and broadcasting the message data containing the base station coordinates and the constellation frequency points. The accurate base station coordinate data is obtained, the differential data with the base station coordinate message and the constellation frequency point message is sent to the corresponding signal receiving terminal, so that the differential data acquisition and broadcasting of the high-precision absolute coordinate are realized, and the starting speed of the satellite-based augmentation positioning equipment is improved.

[0015] Preferably, the first set value is between 0.001 m and 0.2 m; and specifically, a typical value of 0.05 m is adopted.

[0016] Preferably, the power inspection reference station PPP mode comprises:

[0017] In addition to receiving the satellite observation data of the GNSS multi-system in real time, the user terminal also acquires the precise satellite orbit and clock error information and fixes it. Considering each error source in the satellite terminal, the receiver terminal and the transmission path and performing fine processing, the user terminal simultaneously solves the parameters of the user coordinate, the receiver clock error, the troposphere delay, the ionosphere delay and the phase ambiguity, and can obtain high-precision position information in the global range.

[0018] Preferably, the power inspection reference station PPP mode further comprises: when the satellite-based augmentation system is used, the user terminal acquires the real-time state space SSR correction number of the error source which is difficult to accurately model.

[0019] Preferably, the convergence of the fixed solution based on the PPP-AR on the satellite observation data comprises: real-time correction of the satellite carrier phase bias, the vertical ionosphere delay, the satellite orbit, the satellite clock error and the satellite pseudorange bias.

The change of the k epoch innovation and the change of the Kalman filter gain are used to change the stability of the statistical filter, and the k epoch observation is adjusted when the stability is insufficient, so as to improve the filter performance.

[0024] The phase smoothing pseudo-range algorithm based on fuzzy adaptive Kalman filter combines the traditional carrier phase difference with fuzzy adaptive Kalman filter, optimally estimates the weight of the system noise and the observation noise according to the change of the innovation mean and the covariance, and reduces the influence of the time-varying noise on the stability of the Kalman filter. The specific process is as follows:

[0025] The k epoch observation value is obtained, and the variance estimation of the k epoch smoothing pseudo-range and the measurement error is calculated:

[0026]

[0027] The filter obtains the k epoch innovation e by adjusting the observation value and the prediction value k :

[0028] e k =ρ k -ρ -(k) -r +(k-1)

[0029] Wherein r +(k-1) is the observation noise mean of the k-1 epoch;

[0030] The optimal estimation value of the k epoch carrier phase difference value variance is:

[0031]

[0032] Wherein λ is the wavelength, ρ k is the carrier phase smoothing pseudo-range at k, ρ is the carrier phase value at k, and the variance of the pseudo-range observation error is denoted as The carrier phase observation error variance is ρ -(k) For the prediction of the k-epoch carrier phase smoothing pseudorange, ρ +(k-1) d is the pseudo-range after smoothing at epoch k-1. k It is the forgetting factor and 0 < d k <1; Q +(k-1) This is the optimal estimate of the variance of the carrier phase difference in the (k-1)th epoch; K k This represents the filter gain.

[0033] A satellite-based augmentation positioning device, comprising:

[0034] The GPS module has satellite-based augmentation service capabilities;

[0035] The microcontroller board contains a chip including: a satellite position determination algorithm, a target point positioning and timing algorithm, and a satellite-based augmentation positioning fast start method as described in any one of claims 1-7.

Furthermore, it initializes the GPS module and sets various information according to instructions sent by the handheld device, identifies and extracts GPS information data output by the satellite-based module, saves the data required for post-processing to FLASH or sends it to the handheld device for calculation via Bluetooth or serial port, and simultaneously monitors the working status and power supply voltage of each module, outputting the results to the indicator panel in a timely manner.

[0036] The data link is used to send and receive satellite-based differential data via antennas;

[0037] The indicator panel is used to display the data transmitted by the microcontroller board;

[0038] The power supply is used to power the satellite-based augmentation positioning equipment and can be powered by an external voltage.

[0041] A processor for running a program, wherein the program executes the aforementioned satellite-based augmentation positioning fast startup method during runtime.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

This corrects the position of the UAV and enables centimeter-level positioning of the UAV in all outdoor areas, thus enabling autonomous inspection operations.

[0047] By initiating the PPP mode for power line inspection reference stations and employing satellite-based augmentation algorithms and global orbital clock offset estimation technology, the dependence on the status of individual regional base stations can be effectively avoided, solving the "anytime, anywhere" problem. Relying on globally unified orbital clock and satellite offset data, various errors at the regional reference station side are separated, establishing a rigorous non-differential error separation scheme to calculate satellite errors, ionospheric errors, environmental errors, etc., within the coverage area of ​​a single station. Simultaneously, at the PPP ambiguity fixing level, ambiguity confirmation is achieved by combining the accuracy and delay of satellite-based corrections, the randomness of observations, and observation residuals, including empirical model optimization and machine learning. This forms a PPP ambiguity fixing model adapted to satellite link broadcasting of satellite-based corrections, ensuring that the terminal can still obtain reliable positioning results even during brief periods of satellite link signal obstruction.

[0048] Applying the research results of this invention can rapidly improve the level of large-scale application of UAV autonomous inspection and increase inspection efficiency; it can also serve as a one-click start base station for high-precision power inspection UAVs based on satellite-based augmented RTK positioning and broadcasting services, enabling data communication between the base station and the UAV, and can be applied to autonomous flight and precise data collection for power grid overhead line operations.

[0058] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] like Figures 1-6 As shown:

[0060] Example 1:

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for rapid initiation of satellite-based augmentation positioning is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0062] likeFigure 1 This is a flowchart of a rapid startup method for satellite-based augmentation positioning according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0063] S1. After powering on via button, the power inspection reference station automatically starts in PPP mode to receive satellite observation data from GNSS multi-systems.

[0064] S2. Determine whether the root mean square (RMS) accuracy index of the GNSS receiver at the user end is greater than the first set value. When the RMS is greater than the first set value, continue to perform fixed deconvergence on the satellite observation data based on the PPP-AR / PPP-RTK algorithm and proceed to step S3. When RMS is less than or equal to the first set value, proceed directly to step S3.

[0065] S3. Calculate base station coordinate data based on fuzzy adaptive Kalman filter algorithm;

[0066] S4. Record the coordinates of the base station once;

[0067] S5. Record the coordinates of the base station for the Nth iteration, where N > 2;

[0068] S6. Calculate the average value of the base station coordinates obtained in steps S3, S4 and S5, and broadcast the message data containing the base station coordinates and constellation frequency points.

[0069] After powering on, the system automatically starts the PPP mode of the power inspection base station by pressing the button. It receives satellite observation data from multiple GNSS systems and determines whether the RMS accuracy of the user's GNSS receiver is greater than a first set value. When RMS > the first set value, the satellite observation data is further converged based on the PPP-AR / PPP-RTK algorithm. When RMS ≤ the first set value, the base station coordinates are calculated based on the fuzzy adaptive Kalman filter algorithm, and the base station coordinates are recorded for the first and Nth times. The average value is calculated based on the 120 base station coordinates, thereby achieving high-precision absolute coordinate acquisition and broadcasting message data containing base station coordinates and constellation frequency points.

[0070] As an optional embodiment, in step S1, the PPP mode of the power inspection reference station includes: in addition to receiving satellite observation data from GNSS multi-systems in real time, the user terminal also acquires and fixes precise satellite orbit and clock bias information, considers and performs fine processing on various error sources in the satellite end, receiver end, and transmission path, and solves for parameters such as user coordinates, receiver clock bias, tropospheric delay, ionospheric delay, and phase ambiguity, so as to obtain high-precision location information globally.

[0071] As an optional embodiment, in step S1, the PPP mode of the power line inspection reference station further includes: when using the satellite-based augmentation system, the user terminal obtains real-time state domain spatial SSR corrections for error sources that are difficult to model accurately. Specifically, depending on the SSR service level, in addition to the orbital clock error correction, the user can selectively correct the UPD, DCB, and atmospheric correction parameters directly in the state domain to quickly obtain centimeter-level positioning accuracy.

[0072] As an optional embodiment, the first set value is a typical value of 0.05m; N = 120.

[0073] As an optional implementation, the convergence of satellite observation data based on the fixed solution of PPP-AR includes: real-time correction of satellite carrier phase deviation, vertical ionospheric delay, satellite orbit, satellite clock error, and satellite pseudorange deviation.

[0074] As an optional implementation, the convergence of satellite observation data based on the fixed solution of PPP-RTK includes: correcting the error terms after convergence of the fixed solution other than PPP-AR. The error terms after convergence of the fixed solution other than PPP-AR are error terms other than those in the real-time correction analysis module, including: satellite phase winding error, satellite and receiver antenna phase center correction (including phase center deviation and phase center correction), relativistic error, Earth rotation error, Earth solid tide and ocean load tide correction, etc.

[0075] As an optional embodiment, step S6 calculates base station data based on the base station coordinates obtained in steps S3, S4 and S5, using fuzzy adaptive Kalman filtering. This includes: establishing an error observation equation based on the base station coordinates obtained in steps S4 and S5 and the correction array obtained in step S2; using Kalman filtering to obtain coordinate parameters and floating-point ambiguity; and thus obtaining base station data.

[0076] Example 2: Includes all the content of Example 1:

[0077] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a satellite-based augmentation positioning device according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0078] The GPS module has satellite-based augmentation service capabilities, and its advantages are mainly reflected in the use of a higher-performance processor and storage system.

[0079] The microcontroller board contains chips including: channel correlation algorithms, satellite position determination algorithms, target point positioning and timing algorithms, and a satellite-based augmentation positioning fast start method mentioned above. It also outputs positioning and timing information and PPS pulses once per second via an RS232 serial port, and is an integrated receiving module capable of receiving user RS232 communication configuration information via the RS232 serial port. Furthermore, it initializes the GPS module and sets various information according to instructions sent from the handheld device, identifies and extracts GPS information data output by the GPS module (satellite-based module), saves the data required for post-processing to FLASH or sends it to the handheld device for calculation via Bluetooth or serial port; simultaneously, it monitors the working status and power supply voltage of each module and outputs the results to the indicator panel in a timely manner.

[0080] The data link is used to send and receive satellite-based differential data via antennas;

[0081] The indicator panel is used to display the data transmitted by the microcontroller board. The content and format of the display can be set as needed.

[0082] The power supply is used to power the satellite-based augmentation positioning equipment and can be powered by an external voltage.

[0083] The button is used to control the power on or off.

[0084] As an optional implementation, the microcontroller board uses an OEM board, with additional signal processing circuitry, level conversion circuitry, interface circuitry, and power supply circuitry added. The signal processing circuitry, primarily used for secondary processing of the raw data from the OEM board, is implemented using a microcontroller. The power supply circuitry employs a switching power supply to convert DC voltage. These circuits are integrated onto a single microcontroller board, which connects to the OEM board via a specific interface.

[0085] As an optional implementation, the microcontroller board is controlled by an industrial-grade handheld computer with WINCE or POCKET PC and control software, and its working mode is set via Bluetooth or serial port, displaying various required data information.

[0086] As an alternative implementation, the power supply is converted on the OEM board to enable a wide range of external voltage input from 4.5V to 18V, with a 20% reduction in power consumption.

[0087] As an optional embodiment, the power storage compartment adopts a dual battery compartment design. The battery compartment must be equipped with a safety lock. Once locked, the battery compartment will not accidentally fall off under any circumstances, ensuring sturdiness and stability.

[0088] As an optional embodiment, the power supply uses a removable smart lithium battery and has a built-in power detection chip, allowing users to check the remaining power level with a single button and indicator light.

[0089] As an optional embodiment, the system also includes a power management module, such as Figure 5 As shown, the power management module can convert the voltage required by each module from the built-in battery pack or external power supply through the low-dropout power supply module, and provide sufficient driving capability. To ensure system uptime, the built-in battery pack should be a rechargeable battery pack of 4Ah or higher, while the external power supply can typically be a maintenance-free battery of 17Ah or higher. Since the base station requires a lot of energy to transmit differential data, the data link is generally powered directly by an external power supply, while the built-in lithium battery pack maintains the normal operation of the GPS module (including its antenna) and the microcontroller board. At the same time, the microcontroller board monitors the power supply periodically, and if an abnormality occurs, the microcontroller board can provide protection for the satellite-based modules, data link, etc.

[0090] As an optional embodiment, the system also includes three communication serial ports, one of which can be configured as RS-232 or RS-422 according to user needs; one of the communication serial ports supports firmware version 2.1.0 or higher, supports USB data transmission, and supports programmable pulse output.

[0091] As an optional embodiment, the data link includes a data radio and its antenna, which transmits satellite-based differential data from a stationary base station. Due to the high transmit power, the transmitting antenna is externally mounted separately. A mobile station conducting real-time observations receives the satellite-based differential data transmitted from the base station via the data link, processes it through a GPS module, and obtains centimeter-level accuracy location information. Due to the low receive power, the receiving antenna is built into the main unit.

[0092] As an optional implementation, the antenna is a key component of the base station equipment. When selecting a satellite signal receiving antenna, it is essential to consider both appropriate signal gain and its shape and size. For satellite signal receiving antennas used in fixed locations, high-gain, large-volume canopy antennas can be selected; for satellite receiving antennas in portable mobile devices, miniature planar antennas and quadrupedal spiral antennas can be used. A common miniature planar antenna is the ceramic microwave antenna. Ceramic microwave antennas are economical and practical, and quadrupedal spiral antennas perform better than planar antennas and have no azimuth requirements; however, they are expensive and have a long mast, limiting their application. This system uses an L1 / L2 dual-frequency GPS antenna.

[0093] As an optional embodiment, the system also includes a housing for mounting the microcontroller board, data link, and GPS module. Specifically, the housing is made of magnesium alloy.

[0094] As an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the microcontroller board, data link, and GPS module are connected via serial port. The specific models used and their connection relationships are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0095] By integrating the satellite-based chip with the base station hardware system, and using satellite-based broadcasting technology, drones can obtain near real-time precise positioning, speed measurement, and time synchronization results throughout the entire area. By combining satellite-based broadcasting PPP with communication signal relay stations, mobile internet from operators, and other means, this system can be mounted on drones to solve the problem of drone inspection operations in complex scenarios such as remote areas, areas with no network coverage, areas with intermittent network coverage, and areas with good operator network coverage.

[0096] It enables data communication between base stations and drones, and is applied to the precise collection of autonomous flight and inspection data for power grid overhead line operations.

[0113] Simply set up the RTK terminal on a tripod in an open environment, press the power button, and wait 5 to 10 minutes (typical time). The data link indicator light will flash at 1-second intervals to indicate that differential data has been successfully broadcast.

[0114] Notice:

[0115] 1) Powering on will automatically activate satellite and eSIM services and start the timer;

[0116] 2) The waiting time after powering on is related to the terrain, environment and location of the site, and may be longer.

[0117] Currently, it supports most RTK aircraft, such as: Phantom 4 RTK, M300, Mavic 2 Enterprise Edition, etc.

[0118] The following are the drone configuration steps:

[0124] Step 3: After clicking Settings, connect the RTK device and obtain differential data. Once successful, the fixed solution will be displayed.

[0126] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this invention should be included within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0127] This invention verifies the actual convergence effect by connecting multiple monitoring stations to the acceptance environment data, using a 9-minute test followed by a 1-minute interruption. The following indicators are statistically analyzed:

[0128] Using a 120s sliding window, the convergence time is determined when the first occurrence of 95% horizontal accuracy <= 0.2m and 95% elevation accuracy <= 0.4m occurs within a 1s sliding window.
