Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of aircraft alignment, and in particular, to a rapid alignment system, method, device, and medium for an aircraft based on a starlight navigation device. Background Art

[0002] For an aircraft system, to achieve precise attitude control and position control, the key lies in that the navigation module must provide stable and reliable navigation data. Usually, this navigation data is obtained by calculating through a GNSS / INS (Global Navigation Satellite System / Inertial Navigation System) integrated navigation algorithm based on Kalman filtering. Currently, the mainstream inertial-based filtering algorithms usually rely on small misalignment angles to obtain high-precision attitude information in the initial alignment stage, ensuring the accuracy and stability of subsequent filtering algorithms. Otherwise, it may introduce large model errors, resulting in a slowdown in the convergence speed of filtering or even non-convergence. Therefore, the online alignment technology is crucial for improving the navigation performance of an aircraft.

[0003] The mission characteristics of the aircraft system impose relatively stringent requirements on the online alignment time of the inertial navigation system. However, the observability of the inertial navigation system is poor, especially the weakest in the case of a static base, which will affect the convergence speed and convergence accuracy of the Kalman filter for state estimation, thus making the alignment time longer. Since quickly and accurately completing the online alignment of the aircraft system is the key to improving the system's response ability and achieving precise positioning, it is of great significance to study the rapid alignment method for the aircraft system. However, currently, there is no publicly available method that can effectively and quickly perform aircraft alignment. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0041] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, the present application provides a rapid alignment system for an aircraft based on a star navigation device. The system includes: an inertial navigation system, a GNSS satellite navigation receiving module, an angle rotation mechanism, a star navigation device, a light source, and a processing module. Among them, an optoelectronic sphere is used as the star navigation device.

[0043] Taking the aircraft as a carrier, the inertial navigation system, the GNSS satellite navigation receiving module, and the angle rotation mechanism are all fixedly installed at the nose of the aircraft. The inertial navigation system and the GNSS satellite navigation receiving module are connected by cables. The star navigation device is installed on the angle rotation mechanism. The light source is fixedly arranged at a set position on the ground. The processing module is respectively connected to the inertial navigation system, the GNSS satellite navigation receiving module, the angle rotation mechanism, and the star navigation device;

[0044] The inertial navigation system is used to measure the angular velocity and acceleration of the aircraft. The GNSS satellite navigation receiving module is used to receive satellite signals. The inertial navigation system and the GNSS satellite navigation receiving module perform combined navigation solution to obtain the initial position of the aircraft. The angle rotation mechanism is used to control the horizontal direction of the optical axis of the star navigation device. The star navigation device is used to capture the light source and image. The light source serves as a position reference; the processing module is used for navigation solution and Kalman filtering.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the present application also provides a rapid alignment method for an aircraft based on a star navigation device. The rapid alignment method for an aircraft is implemented based on the rapid alignment system provided by the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the rapid alignment method for an aircraft includes:

[0046] Step 100: Obtain the installation error angle between the installation reference plane of the inertial navigation system and the installation reference plane of the optoelectronic sphere. Among them, Figure 1 gives the initial position of the aircraft , the position of the light source and the installation error angle between the inertial navigation installation reference plane and the optoelectronic sphere installation reference plane . Figure 1In it, position A represents the installation positions of the inertial navigation system, the GNSS satellite navigation receiving module, and the optoelectronic sphere.

[0047] Step 101: Control the optical axis of the starlight navigation device to rotate horizontally through the angle rotation mechanism to capture the imaging point of the light source on the imaging plane of the starlight navigation device, and record the rotation angle of the optical axis at the same time. Among them, the rotation angle of the optical axis is denoted as .

[0048] Step 102: Based on the imaging point of the light source on the imaging plane of the starlight navigation device, combine the initial positions of the aircraft and the light source to obtain the included angle between the optical axis direction and the due north direction. Among them, the included angle between the optical axis direction and the due north direction is expressed as:

[0049] .

[0050] In the formula, arctan represents the arctangent function, represents the included angle between the optical axis direction and the due north direction, represents the distance between the initial position of the aircraft in the east direction and the position of the target light source, represents the distance between the initial position of the aircraft in the north direction and the position of the target light source.

[0051] Step 103: Determine the distance from the imaging point of the light source on the imaging plane of the starlight navigation device to the light source, and obtain the focal length of the starlight navigation device.

[0052] Step 104: Based on the distance from the imaging point of the light source on the imaging plane of the starlight navigation device to the light source and the focal length of the starlight navigation device, determine the included angle between the imaging direction and the rotated optical axis direction. Among them, the included angle between the imaging direction and the rotated optical axis direction is expressed as:

[0053] .

[0054] In the formula, represents the included angle between the imaging direction and the rotated optical axis direction, represents the distance from the imaging point of the light source on the imaging plane of the starlight navigation device to the light source, represents the focal length of the starlight navigation device.

[0055] Step 105: Based on the included angle between the optical axis direction and the due north direction, the installation error angle, the rotation angle of the optical axis, and the included angle between the imaging direction and the rotated optical axis direction, determine the initial azimuth angle of the aircraft to achieve the alignment of the aircraft. Among them, from Figure 4 it can be seen that the initial azimuth angle is expressed as:

[0056] .

[0057] In the formula, represents the initial azimuth angle, Indicates the rotation angle of the optical axis.

[0058] In the actual application process, taking the Figure 3 included angle between the optical axis direction and the true north direction as shown , the included angle between the imaging direction and the rotated optical axis direction , the distance from the imaging point of the light source on the imaging plane of the starlight navigation device to the light source and the focal length of the starlight navigation device as the basis, given the initial position of the aircraft and the position of the light source and are expressed as:

[0059] .

[0060] .

[0061] In the formula, represents the length unit nie.

[0062] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, in order to further improve the navigation performance of the aircraft, the accuracy of the initial azimuth angle can also be analyzed. Based on this, the aircraft rapid alignment method based on the starlight navigation device provided by the present application further includes the following steps:

[0063] Step 1: Determine the measurement accuracy of the included angle between the optical axis direction and the true north direction based on the measurement accuracy of the inertial navigation system and the GNSS satellite navigation receiving module and the distance from the initial position of the aircraft to the light source.

[0064] Among them, since the initial position of the aircraft is obtained by combined navigation calculation of the inertial navigation system and the GNSS satellite navigation receiving module, the position accuracy is less than 1 m, while the light source position accuracy is less than 1 cm. Assuming that the distance from the initial position of the aircraft to the light source is 2 km, the measurement accuracy of the included angle between the optical axis direction and the true north direction can be deduced as .

[0065] Step 2: Determine the measurement accuracy of the included angle between the imaging direction and the rotated optical axis direction based on the pixel size and focal length of the starlight navigation device.

[0066] Among them, assuming that the pixel size and focal length of the starlight navigation device (such as an optoelectronic sphere) are 5 μm and 7 mm respectively, and the accuracy of the distance from the imaging point of the light source on the imaging plane of the starlight navigation device to the light source is less than 1 pixel size, the included angle The measurement accuracy of is

[0067] Step 3: Obtain the threshold angle of the installation error angle, and determine the measurement accuracy of the initial azimuth angle based on the threshold angle of the installation error angle, the measurement accuracy of the included angle between the optical axis direction and the true north direction, and the measurement accuracy of the included angle between the imaging direction and the rotated optical axis direction.

[0068] Among them, the known installation error angle has a measurement accuracy less than 0.05°, and the rotation angle of the optical axis has a measurement accuracy less than 10 arcseconds. Therefore, the measurement accuracy of the initial azimuth angle is , and then, the measurement accuracy of the initial azimuth angle is less than 0.1°.

[0069] In summary, the aircraft rapid alignment system and method provided by this application solve the problem of long online alignment time of the aircraft system, and the measurement accuracy of the initial azimuth angle is less than 0.1°. The high-precision initial alignment helps to reduce the fluctuations and error accumulation during the operation of the navigation system, can help the navigation system enter the stable working state faster, provide more accurate navigation information, and further improve the navigation performance of the aircraft.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, taking the implementation of the aircraft rapid alignment method on the aircraft rapid alignment system provided by this application as an example, the specific implementation process of the solution provided by this application is described as follows:

[0071] Step 1: Installation and maintenance:

[0072] During the installation and maintenance stage of the aircraft system, install each component according to the installation method described in the system architecture provided above in this application. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the installation reference planes of the inertial navigation system and the optoelectronic sphere are consistent. After installation, it is necessary to measure and record the installation error angle (the absolute value should be less than 0.05°) between the installation reference planes of the inertial navigation system and the optoelectronic sphere.

[0073] Step 2: Leveling:

[0074] Before the aircraft starts online alignment, measure the three-axis acceleration through the inertial navigation system, and level the aircraft body according to the measured three-axis acceleration, so as to ensure that the optical axis direction of the optoelectronic sphere fixedly connected to the aircraft is parallel to the horizontal plane. Among them, the acceleration of the aircraft facing the sky is equal to 9.8g to determine the horizontal level. When the accelerations of the other two axes are nearly 0, the aircraft body is leveled. g is the acceleration due to gravity.

[0075] Step 3: Optical axis adjustment and target capture:

[0076] The photoelectric sphere may not be able to recognize the light source in the initial optical axis direction. Therefore, it is necessary to control the horizontal rotation of the optical axis through an angle rotation mechanism to capture the light source, and record the rotation angle of the optical axis at the same time. .

[0077] Step Four: Quick Alignment:

[0078] Based on the imaging point of the light source on the imaging plane of the photoelectric sphere and the initial positions of the aircraft and the light source, the included angle between the optical axis direction and the due north direction can be deduced. Due to the installation error angle in Step One and the rotation angle of the optical axis in Step Three are known, the initial azimuth angle of the aircraft can be further deduced , thereby realizing the quick alignment of the aircraft.
