Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of gravity gradiometers, and in particular relates to a multi-parameter conversion, fusion and noise reduction method for grid measurement of gravity gradiometers. Background Art
[0002] The gravity gradient is defined as the spatial gradient of the gravity acceleration vector, that is, the second-order derivative of the gravity potential, which represents the spatial rate of change of the gravity vector. In the geographic coordinate system, the gravity vector It can be decomposed into three components in the x, y, and z directions, each of which has a gradient along the direction parallel to the coordinate axis. Therefore, the gravity gradient tensor has a total of 3×3 components, such as Figure 1 As shown. Mathematically, the gravity gradient is expressed as:
[0003]
[0004] Where:
[0005] Γ——gravity gradient tensor matrix at any spatial position outside the Earth;
[0006] T——gravity potential function at current position;
[0007] ——Current position vector;
[0008] x, y and z - the projection of the current position vector on the three coordinate axes, usually the coordinate system is the Northeast Celestial coordinate system;
[0009] Γ ij (i, j = x, y, z) - the components of the gravity gradient tensor, representing the gravity component g i The spatial rate of change in the j direction.
[0010] A gravity gradiometer is an instrument that continuously measures tiny changes in gravity gradients on the Earth's surface. The gravity gradiometer based on the measurement principle of a rotating accelerometer is the only practical near-surface dynamic gravity gradiometer to date. The main body of this type of gravity gradiometer consists of two key components: a gravity gradient sensor and an inertial stabilization platform. The gravity gradient sensor is mainly used to measure the horizontal component of the gravity gradient tensor; the inertial stabilization platform is used to carry the gravity gradient sensor, isolate the dynamic gravity gradient measurement from the influence of the carrier's angular motion, and provide a measurement coordinate system reference for the sensor. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the gravity gradient measurement component as the core sensor is based on the accelerometer position differential measurement principle. It modulates the gravity gradient tensor component to the double frequency of the system rotation frequency by mechanical rotation. The relationship between the accelerometer output and the gravity gradient tensor component can be expressed as:
[0011] (a1+a3)-(a2+a4)=2R(Γxx -Γ yy )sin2ωt+4RΓ xy cos2ωt
[0012] Where a i (i=1,2,3,4) are the outputs of the four accelerometers, R is the distance from the accelerometer detection center to the rotation center, Γ xx , Γ yy , Γ xy is the gravity gradient tensor component in the rotating plane coordinate system, and ω is the angular velocity of the rotating device. To ensure that the signal-to-noise ratio of the two signals output by the gravity gradient sensor is consistent, The gravity gradient sensor can measure the gravity gradient tensor component Γ in the rotating plane coordinate system. uv and Γ xy .
[0013] Due to limitations in the process and performance of the core sensitive element, the accelerometer, as well as factors such as multi-link installation errors, the direct output signal of the gravity gradiometer under dynamic measurement conditions contains a large amount of noise, resulting in an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio. To effectively extract the true gravity gradient signal from the strong noise, it is necessary to propose an efficient gravity gradient signal noise suppression method to improve the accuracy of gravity gradient signal processing. Summary of the Invention
[0014] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a multi-parameter conversion fusion noise reduction method for gravity gradiometer grid measurement.
