Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electromagnetic positioning, and in particular to a calibration device and a calibration method for electromagnetic field distortion. Background Art

[0002] At present, the positioning and measurement methods of moving objects in a small range mainly include computer vision, inertia, radio frequency identification, ultrasonic measurement and electromagnetic measurement. The computer vision measurement method has high positioning accuracy, but the equipment price is high, and it cannot be positioned when there is an object blocking the object being measured and the camera; when inertial measurement is used, its measurement error accumulates over time; when radio frequency identification positioning technology is used, its positioning accuracy is low and cannot be applied to fields with high precision requirements; the accuracy of ultrasonic measurement will be affected in non-uniform media, and the hardware overhead is large and networking is inconvenient. Electromagnetic positioning technology detects the magnetic induction intensity in space to solve the position parameters and posture parameters of the target. Because its positioning effect is not affected by non-metallic objects, it is widely used in aiming display, medical surgery navigation, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, indoor robots, sports biomechanics, three-dimensional imaging and other fields.

[0003] The electromagnetic positioning system is usually composed of an electromagnetic transmitter, an electromagnetic receiver and related processing devices. The electromagnetic transmitter and the electromagnetic receiver are both composed of a coil frame and three mutually orthogonal coils. When the electromagnetic positioning system is working, the signal generating circuit supplies power to the three coils of the electromagnetic transmitter in a time-sharing manner, thereby establishing an instantaneous magnetic field in space. The three coils of the electromagnetic receiver respectively sense the magnetic field generated by the three coils of the electromagnetic transmitter to generate voltage signals. The voltage signal is related to the spatial position and attitude of the electromagnetic receiver coil, and can be expressed as a function of the spatial position. Based on the voltage signal generated by the electromagnetic receiver coil and the magnetic field distribution model generated by the electromagnetic transmitter coil, the three-degree-of-freedom position and three-degree-of-freedom attitude of the electromagnetic receiver relative to the electromagnetic transmitter can be calculated.

[0004] The electromagnetic positioning system is sensitive to the environment. When there are metals or electronic devices that can generate magnetic fields around the electromagnetic positioning system, the electromagnetic measurement data may be inaccurate. This is because the alternating magnetic field will generate eddy currents in nearby conductive materials. They generate secondary magnetic fields, which change the original magnetic field and cause errors in the system, resulting in inaccurate electromagnetic measurement data. At this time, the electromagnetic positioning system is difficult to use directly and needs to be calibrated for electromagnetic field distortion before use.

[0005] At present, the electromagnetic field distortion calibration method mainly fixes the electromagnetic transmitter and fixes the electromagnetic receiver on the translation table to move with the translation table, collects and saves the electromagnetic measurement data and the translation table measurement data, and finally calibrates the electromagnetic field distortion based on mathematical methods. The operation process of this method is complicated, especially difficult to implement in a small-scale application environment. Summary of the invention

[0009] Furthermore, the above technical solution can assist in calibrating the electromagnetic field distortion by using the MIMU measurement data of the high-precision MIMU sensor, thereby solving the problems of complex electromagnetic field calibration and low measurement accuracy caused by electromagnetic field distortion.
