Abstract
Description
1. Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a measuring method, in particular to a method for calibrating the azimuth and height of shipborne artillery and land-based artillery. 2. Background Technology
[0002] During the calibration and measurement of shipborne and land-based artillery, it is necessary to unify the azimuth, altitude and pointing of the relevant equipment with the reference azimuth and altitude of the ship or land. The current calibration and measurement method is to use the theodolite and the aiming telescope on the calibration equipment to aim at the stars at the same time, unify the pointing of the equipment with the azimuth and altitude reference of the theodolite, and then aim the theodolite at the reference line of the ship or land to achieve the unification of the equipment with the reference azimuth and altitude of the ship or land. However, due to problems in the calibration method, the following problems exist in use: 1) In the process of aligning the theodolite with the reference plane of the ship, the efficiency is low, the adjustment time is long, and the technical requirements are high; 2) When the theodolite and the equipment are aimed at the stars, the selection of stars generally relies on the human eye to distinguish in the air, resulting in the selected stars not being optimal in terms of altitude angle, brightness, etc., and when the calibration time is too long and the earth rotates during this period, the selected stars cannot be effectively used to complete the entire calibration measurement process; 3) When the theodolite is used to aim at the stars, the surveyor needs to continuously observe the instrument for aiming and tracking, which consumes a lot of time and energy of the surveyor, and the theodolite cannot track and aim at the stars; 4) When the star sighting mirror on the equipment is used to aim at the stars, the equipment needs to be continuously rotated to keep the equipment and the stars in an aligned state, which takes a long time and has high labor intensity, and it is difficult to achieve the aiming mirror to roughly aim at the stars and the precise aiming angle; 5) The data synchronization between the theodolite and the star sighting mirror needs to be synchronized through voice commands, which is inefficient; 6) Data processing requires on-site calculation and inference, with low processing efficiency and poor accuracy and reliability. Therefore, improvement and innovation in calibration methods are imperative. III. Summary of the invention

[0023] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Depend on Figure 1-7 It is given that the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0025] 1) Calibration and alignment of theodolite
[0026] like Figure 1-2As shown, the calibration theodolite leveling and centering is divided into two parts: theodolite leveling and theodolite centering. Theodolite leveling is the basis of all measurements. The horizontal reference plane of the hull is accurately leveled in the hull dock. When the horizontal reference plane of the theodolite is kept consistent with the horizontal reference plane of the hull during the swaying of the hull, the leveling of the theodolite can be achieved. Theodolite centering realizes the accurate centering of the theodolite to the center axis of the hull. Specifically, a one-dimensional translation stage is installed on the tripod, and the calibration theodolite is installed on the one-dimensional translation stage. The plane of the calibration theodolite dial is adjusted to be consistent with the datum plane of the ship or the land base, and then the calibration theodolite is centered by translation of the translation stage; a first high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor is placed on the datum line of the ship or the land base, and at the same time, a high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor is placed on the calibration theodolite. A second high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor is horizontally placed on the theodolite, the first high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor is connected to the first radio station, the second radio station is used in pairs with the first radio station, the second radio station is connected to a computer, the second high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor is directly connected to the computer, the first radio station communicates with the second radio station, and data of the first high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor is transmitted to the computer in real time. The computer controls and directly collects the inclination data of the second high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor, adjusts the theodolite, and changes the output of the second high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor. When the output data of the first high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor and the second high-precision two-dimensional inclination sensor in two directions are the same, the leveling of the theodolite is achieved.
[0027] After the theodolite is leveled, the translation stage is used to make the theodolite centered on the ship's datum line. If the theodolite disc plane is inconsistent with the ship's datum plane after translation, the above leveling and centering process is repeated. After 2 to 3 repeated adjustments, leveling and centering can be achieved.
[0028] There are two ways to transmit data between different devices. One is to combine wireless data transmission radio and wifi, and the other is to use wifi network and industrial wireless router to aggregate the data of two inclination sensors to the computer through wireless data transmission radio.
[0029] The calibration of theodolite centering and leveling should take no more than 20 minutes, and the adjustment accuracy should be better than 10 seconds;
[0030] 2) Finding stars
[0031] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, to realize the automatic star search of the theodolite, three basic conditions must be met: first, to obtain the north position and altitude of the theodolite telescope, that is, the theodolite orientation; second, to obtain the longitude and latitude and time of the location of the theodolite; third, the ephemeris of known stars and query, so as to realize the automatic query of the best star with high brightness, few neighboring stars and small altitude angle, specifically: use a computer and its software to find stars, the method is: first, to obtain the north position and altitude of the calibration theodolite telescope, that is, the theodolite orientation; second, to obtain the longitude and latitude and time of the location of the calibration theodolite through the Beidou module with model BD-772xTM; third, to find out from the known ephemeris the best star with brightness greater than 4.2, time of observing two adjacent stars greater than 30s, and altitude angle of 35°-45°;
[0032] Use computers and their software to search for stars. When a star to be measured is about to arrive, point the telescope to the estimated arrival position of the star to be measured. The time interval between two adjacent observed stars is greater than 30 seconds. This relaxes the requirements for star selection, greatly facilitating observation and improving efficiency.
[0033] The calibration theodolite has a motor drive function, which can realize accurate horizontal and vertical rotation according to the user's instructions. The system software can automatically search for the star to be measured. Before conducting astronomical longitude and latitude observations, the system software generates an observation star catalog based on the position and time information, and lists the azimuth and altitude angles of the star to be measured when it reaches the contour circle. The theodolite automatically realizes accurate aiming of the star to be measured;
[0034] The computer software has an automatic star-finding function. When the star to be measured is about to arrive, the system software drives the instrument to automatically point the telescope to the estimated arrival position of the star to be measured;
[0035] 3) Install the gun sight
[0036] Insert the aiming scope into the gun barrel. The aiming scope is connected to the computer through a wired or wireless network. The aiming scope is equipped with a 2.3 million pixel black and white camera. The computer collects images of the aiming scope in real time, processes the images, and aims at the stars.
[0037] 4) Star tracking measurement
[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the field image of the theodolite telescope is collected through a CCD video eyepiece, the image processing is performed to obtain the position relationship between the measurement mark center and the image center, the rotation angle of the electronic theodolite is calculated, and the automatic precise aiming is completed by controlling the drive; the specific method is: among the excellent stars found in step 2), a star is selected as the star to be measured, the star to be measured is aimed at the star to be measured with a calibration theodolite, and the elevation angle, azimuth and elevation angle data of the star to be measured found in step 2) are transmitted to the computer through a wireless network by a computer and its software, and displayed on the screen, the gun barrel is pointed at the star, the image of the star is collected by the aiming gun scope and the calibration theodolite at the same time, the star is shaken to the center of the field of view of the aiming gun scope in real time, the collected image is transmitted to the computer, the computer adjusts the image, calculates the horizontal angle and vertical angle of the star in the theodolite coordinate system, and the theodolite is rotated horizontally and vertically to point to the star, and tracked;
[0039] The method to calculate the horizontal angle and vertical angle of a star in the theodolite coordinate system is:
[0040] The measuring camera and the calibration theodolite are fixed relative to each other, and the star to be measured is photographed. The computer calculates the horizontal angle and vertical angle of the star to be measured based on the image taken by the measuring camera. When the point P (u, v) on the image is known, the camera coordinate system is O C (X C ,Y C ,Z C ), the coordinate system of the theodolite is O J (X J ,Y J ,Z J ), M1 is the conversion coefficient between the camera coordinate system and the image coordinate system, is the conversion relationship between the camera coordinate system and the theodolite coordinate system. The position relationship between the camera coordinate system and the image coordinate system is as follows:
[0041]
[0042] The position relationship between the theodolite coordinate system and the camera coordinate system is as follows:
[0043]
[0044] Combining the above two equations, we can get:
[0045]
[0046] Eliminate Z from the above formula C Calculate the coordinates of the target stars on n sets of unknown images in the theodolite coordinate system:
[0047] P n (X nJ ,Y nJ ,Z nJ), n is the number of target stars to be measured, n≥1
[0048] Calculate the horizontal angle and vertical angle of the star to be measured:
[0049]
[0050] Where: h n 、v n are the horizontal angle observation value and vertical angle observation value of the star to be measured, β0 represents the horizontal observation value represented by the collimation axis in the theodolite coordinate system, (X nJ ,Y nJ ,Z nJ ) represents the position of the star to be measured, P n (X nJ ,Y nJ ,Z nJ ) in the theodolite coordinate system;
[0051] P n (X nJ ,Y nJ ,Z nJ )(n is the number of target stars to be measured, n≥1);
[0052] 5) Artillery azimuth and altitude calibration
[0053] The computer and its software simultaneously collect the images of the stars to be measured on the aiming scope and the calibration theodolite, calculate the azimuth and altitude of the theodolite according to the images collected from the theodolite, and aim at the infinitely distant stars. When the azimuth and altitude of the theodolite are parallel to those of the aiming scope, the azimuth and altitude of the theodolite are the calibration values of the calibration gun pointing, thereby realizing the calibration of the azimuth and altitude of shipborne artillery or roadbed artillery.
