Description

[0002] Small platforms have the advantages of high flexibility, strong concealment, and low cost, and play an important role in surveying and mapping, emergency rescue, and security patrols. However, the above scenarios all require small platforms to have good autonomous navigation capabilities. The current micro-inertial orientation system can only maintain an orientation accuracy of degrees per hour, which is difficult to meet the needs of small unmanned platforms. The satellite dual-antenna orientation system is also limited by electromagnetic interference, and its reliability is difficult to guarantee.

[0003] Different from traditional navigation methods, as a branch of bionic navigation technology, bionic polarized light navigation can make up for the shortcomings of inertial navigation and satellite navigation. It has the advantages of strong anti-interference, high robustness and no error accumulation. It is a reliable autonomous navigation method for small unmanned platforms working in complex environments. However, its navigation performance and accuracy depend to a large extent on the calibration quality and theoretical maximum angular resolution of the bionic polarized light compass. Due to the deviation of the processing process, the bionic polarized light compass has the uneven response error of the photoelectric pixel and the inconsistent coupling error between the nano-grating array and the photoelectric pixel. Whether the above errors can be effectively corrected and the high-precision angular resolution calibration can be achieved is the key to ensure that the navigation system can achieve accurate orientation, obstacle avoidance and path planning. Therefore, accurate evaluation and calibration of the angular resolution of the bionic polarized light compass is of great significance to improving the navigation performance and overall application value of small unmanned platforms in complex environments. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention proposes a method for evaluating the angular measurement accuracy, calibrating and correcting the angular measurement error of a bionic polarized light compass.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the angle measurement accuracy of a bionic polarized light compass, comprising:

[0007] The angle value output by the bionic polarized light compass is subjected to angle deambiguation to obtain the actual measured angle, and the actual measured angle is continuously distributed in the range of 0° to 360°, forming an actual measured angle sequence;

[0008] Generate an ideal rotation angle with a fixed rotation angle step in the range of 0° to 360° to form an ideal rotation angle sequence;

[0009] Calculate the absolute error between the actual measured angle sequence and the ideal rotation angle sequence, and perform mean correction on the absolute error;

[0010] The root mean square error of the mean-corrected absolute error was calculated to evaluate the angular measurement accuracy of the bionic polarized light compass.

[0011] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for calibrating an angle measurement error of a bionic polarized light compass, comprising:

[0012] Based on the angle measurement accuracy evaluation result of the bionic polarized light compass obtained by the above-mentioned bionic polarized light compass angle measurement accuracy evaluation method, a bionic polarized light compass angle measurement error calibration model is constructed;

[0013] A periodic kernel-based calibration method is used to calibrate the response non-uniformity error of the optoelectronic pixels in the bionic polarized light compass and the coupling inconsistency error between the nano-grating array and the optoelectronic pixels.

[0014] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for correcting the angle measurement error of a bionic polarized light compass, based on the response non-uniformity error of the photoelectric pixels in the calibrated bionic polarized light compass and the coupling inconsistency error between the nano-grating array and the photoelectric pixels obtained by the above-mentioned bionic polarized light compass angle measurement error calibration method, to correct the response non-uniformity error of the photoelectric pixels in the bionic polarized light compass and the coupling inconsistency error between the nano-grating array and the photoelectric pixels.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the present invention are:

[0016] The present invention uses a high-precision turntable to generate an ideal rotation angle to ensure that the ideal state of each angle position is taken into account during error assessment; an angle resolution algorithm based on adjacent angle differences is used to eliminate the polarization angle ambiguity solution, specifically, the polarization heading angle output by the bionic polarized light compass is subjected to angle resolution, and while eliminating the ambiguity solution, it is converted to a continuous angle in the interval [0,360] to ensure that the error assessment can be accurately performed at the angle crossing point. The absolute error between the actual measured continuous rotation angle and the ideal rotation angle sequence is calculated, and the absolute error is mean-corrected to remove systematic deviations, so that the error assessment result is more reliable. The root mean square error of the absolute error is calculated to accurately evaluate the accuracy of the entire measurement system. Based on the above-mentioned angle measurement resolution error assessment results, a bionic polarized light compass angle measurement error calibration model is constructed, and a calibration method based on a periodic kernel is used to effectively correct the photoelectric pixel response non-uniformity error and the coupling inconsistency error between the nano-grating array and the photoelectric pixel, thereby obtaining higher angle measurement accuracy and reliability.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 An embodiment provides a method for evaluating the angle measurement accuracy of a bionic polarized light compass, comprising:

[0023] The angle value output by the bionic polarized light compass is subjected to angle deambiguation to obtain the actual measured angle, and the actual measured angle is continuously distributed in the range of 0° to 360°, forming an actual measured angle sequence;

[0024] Generate an ideal rotation angle with a fixed rotation angle step in the range of 0° to 360° to form an ideal rotation angle sequence;

[0025] Calculate the absolute error between the actual measured angle sequence and the ideal rotation angle sequence, and perform mean correction on the absolute error;

[0026] The root mean square error of the mean-corrected absolute error was calculated to evaluate the angular measurement accuracy of the bionic polarized light compass.

[0027] A high-precision turntable is used to generate the ideal rotation angle, ensuring that the ideal state of each angle position is taken into account when evaluating the error.

[0028] Based on the angle deambiguation algorithm of adjacent angle differences, the angle value output by the bionic polarized light compass is deambiguated to eliminate the jump caused by crossing 0° to 360°, and ensure that the angle value is continuous in the interval [0°, 360°]. Specifically, it includes:

[0029] Calculate the difference between adjacent angles output by a biomimetic polarized compass , is the angle of the current bionic polarized light compass output, is the angle output by the previous bionic polarized light compass;

[0030] When the difference between adjacent angles is less than -90°, a negative jump occurs, and the angle output by the current bionic polarized light compass is added by 180°, that is, ;

[0031] When the difference between adjacent angles is greater than 90°, a positive jump occurs, and the angle output by the current bionic polarized light compass is subtracted by 180°, that is, ;

[0032] All negative angle values Convert to a positive angle value as the actual measured angle, and ensure that the actual measured angle is continuously distributed in [0°, 360°].

[0033] Negative angle values To convert to a positive angle value, add 360° for angles less than 0° and subtract 360° for angles greater than 360°.

[0034] Assume the actual measured angle sequence is , the ideal rotation angle sequence is The absolute error is , the absolute error between the actual measured angle and the ideal rotation angle is corrected by the mean, and the absolute error after mean correction is obtained as:

[0035] (1)

[0036] in is the absolute error The mean of Represents the actual measured angle sequence The ideal rotation angle sequence The absolute error between .

[0037] The root mean square error (RMSE) of the absolute error after mean correction was calculated to evaluate the angular measurement accuracy of the bionic polarized light compass.

[0038] The present invention adopts the method of absolute value correction of error for evaluation. In this evaluation method, the ideal rotation angle is generated by a high-precision turntable and compared with the actual measurement value, so that the angular resolution of the bionic polarized light compass can be evaluated more intuitively. In particular, the mean correction method can effectively remove the offset error in the measurement system. Compared with the traditional evaluation method, this method pays more attention to the absolute error rather than the error of the angle change. Therefore, this method is more advantageous in scenarios where high-precision absolute angles are required.

[0047] The parameters of the periodic kernel function are adjusted using an iterative optimization algorithm to minimize the response non-uniformity error of the optoelectronic pixels in the calibrated bionic polarized light compass and the coupling inconsistency error between the nano-grating array and the optoelectronic pixels.

[0048] In one embodiment, the expression of the periodic kernel function used is:

[0050] in, is the cycle length, is the length dimension (controls smoothness).

[0051] After calibrating the error through the above method, the orientation parameters of the bionic polarized light navigation system can be adjusted to achieve dynamic compensation for the measurement error, thereby maintaining a high angle measurement accuracy during long-term operation.
