Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of angle measurement, and in particular to a method for measuring the parachute swing angle in a rocket sled-throwing drag parachute test. Background Art
[0002] A drag parachute is a type of parachute used to assist high-speed aircraft landings. As a flexible decelerator featuring light weight, compact size, and a large drag surface, it has found widespread application in my country's aviation and aerospace sectors. Rocket sled tests can effectively meet the requirements for testing the performance of a drag parachute. The parachute's swing angle during rocket sled tests is a key performance indicator.
[0003] Currently, the drag parachute swing angle measurement in drag parachute rocket sled parachute jettisoning tests generally uses a precision turntable measurement method. During the measurement, two precision turntables are used to track the rocket sled and the drag parachute. The forward intersection method is used to solve the spatial coordinates of the end node of the main parachute rope and calculate the drag parachute swing angle. Each precision turntable contains a high-speed camera and a camera pitch and horizontal angle acquisition device. This method can measure the drag parachute swing angle value with high precision, but the equipment structure is complex and requires high tracking experience of technical personnel.
[0004] When calculating the swing angle of a parachute in a wind tunnel, two fixed cameras are generally used to measure the parachute's swing angle using the forward intersection method. However, the space on the rocket sled is limited, making it difficult to meet the intersection angle between the two cameras.
[0005] Another method for measuring the swing angle of the drag parachute is to use a monocular camera to treat the end node of the drag parachute's main parachute rope as a virtual point for iterative calculation, obtain the spatial coordinates of the end node of the drag parachute's main parachute rope, and then calculate the swing angle of the drag parachute. The process of calculating the coordinates of the end node of the drag parachute's main parachute rope through iterative calculation is complicated, but this method has a large amount of calculation and is difficult to meet the needs of use.
[0006] Therefore, a computationally simple method using a monocular camera is needed to measure the parachute swing angle. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The following is a further detailed description of the characteristics and performance of the method for measuring the parachute swing angle in the rocket sled drag parachute test of the present application in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for measuring the parachute swing angle in a rocket sled drag parachute test, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Fix the camera 120 on the rocket sled sled 100, which is set on the slide rail 110, so that the image captured by the camera 120 covers the movement trajectory range of the main parachute rope node end 150 of the main parachute rope 140 on the drag parachute 130 connected to the rocket sled sled 100; before conducting the drag parachute parachute dropping test, adjust the camera trigger mode to the rising edge mode, and tie the camera trigger line to the slider at the bottom of the rocket sled sled 100. When the rocket sled sled 100 starts, cut the trigger line and the camera 120 starts recording. After the drag parachute 130 is dropped and the rocket sled sled 100 is stationary, connect the camera 120 and the computer via a data cable to download the movement video of the drag parachute 130 to the computer.
[0030] Step 2: Calibrate the camera to calculate the internal and external orientation elements of the camera; The camera 120 is calibrated within the swinging area of the drag parachute 130. Multiple control points are evenly set within the swinging range of the drag parachute 130, and the image of each control point is captured by the camera 120. The spatial coordinates of each control point are calculated using a total station.
[0031] In a given object space coordinate system, the object point coordinate of the main parachute rope node end 150 of the drag parachute 130 is P ( X , Y , Z ), the photographic center coordinates of camera 120 are S ( X S , Y S , Z S ); In the selected image coordinate system c-xy, the intersection coordinates of the main optical axis of the camera 120 and the image plane, that is, the principal point coordinates are o ( x 0, y 0), the image point coordinates are a ( x,y ), the focal length of the camera 120 is f ; The orientation of the image in I-XYZ is ( f , oh , k ) definition, direction cosines ( a i , b i , c i , i =1,2,3) is( f , oh , k ) function; image point aThe correction factor for the systematic error in the imaging process is (Δx, Δy); The internal and external orientation elements of the camera 120 are calibrated using the bundle adjustment method. The coordinates of the image points of all control points are used as observation values to calculate the best estimate. The principle of calculating the best estimate is to make the correction number V of each observation value satisfy V T V is the minimum.
[0032] The collinearity condition equation is derived based on the object point, the image point, and the projection center of the camera 120 at the end 150 of the main parachute line of the drag parachute 130 being on a straight line in space: ; In the adjustment process, the unknowns are classified and the error equation based on the collinearity condition equation is obtained: ; Where V is the correction factor of the image point coordinates, X 1. X 2. X 3 are the correction factors for exterior elements, interior elements and distortion coefficients respectively:
[0033] Where, A i (i=1,2,3) is the matrix containing the coefficients, L is the constant in the formula: ; ; Where, x’ 、 y’ is the calculated value of the previous iteration; This results in the following calculation formula: ; Solving the equation by the least squares method yields: ; In calculating X Then find the internal and external orientation elements of the camera, including the focal length of the lens f 、The main point of the vehicle-mounted high-speed camera ( x 0, y 0), lens distortion coefficient ( w 1. w 2. k 1. k 2), the spatial coordinates of the camera's photographic center (Xs, Ys, Zs) and the camera's image orientation ( f , oh, k ).
[0034] Step 3: Calculate the real-world distance coordinates of the main line node end. According to the measured image plane coordinates of the end 150 of the main parachute line node on the right side of the heading direction a’ ( x,y ) and the length of a single pixel of the camera u Calculate the real-world distance coordinates of the end of the main parachute line node 150 a’’ ( x , y ).
[0035] Step 4: Calculate the coordinates of the image point at the end of the main parachute line node in the image space coordinate system with the camera projection center as the origin; Based on the real-world distance coordinate of 150 from the end of the main parachute line node a’’ ( x , y ) and the focal length of the camera's 120 lens f Calculate the coordinates of the image point of the main parachute line node end 150 in the image space coordinate system with the projection center of the camera 120 as the origin; Step 5: Calculate the spatial coordinates of the image point at the end of the main parachute rope node; The real-world distance coordinates of the main parachute line node end 150° are calculated based on the resolution of the camera 120 being M*N and the center of the image being the origin. a ( x i , y i ), spatial coordinates p’ ( x i , y i , -f ), image space auxiliary coordinates p’’ ( X i , Y i , Z i ), image space auxiliary coordinates of the main parachute line node end 150 p’’ The spatial coordinates of the 150-degree image point at the end of the main parachute rope node are obtained by translation. p ( X’ , Y’ , Z’ ): x i = x -M / 2*u; y i = y -N / 2*u; ; ; in, a i , b i , c i are the nine direction cosines composed of the exterior orientation elements calibrated by the camera 120 .
[0036] Step 6: Calculate the spatial straight line parameter equation of the projection center of the camera 120, the image point coordinates of the main parachute line node end 150, and the main parachute line node end 150; After calculating the spatial linear parameter equations of the camera projection center, the image point coordinates at the end of the main parachute line node, and the end of the main parachute line node, the spatial coordinates of the camera projection center are obtained by camera calibration. S ( X S , Y S , Z S ), combined with the spatial coordinates of the image point at the end of the main parachute rope node at this time p ( X m , Y m , Z m ), we can get the space straight line Sp The direction vector ( m , n , s ), then the camera projection center can be calculated S , image point coordinates p , the end of the main line knot P The parametric equation of a line in space: ; Where (X', Y', Z') is the space line passing through p or S point.
[0037] Step 7: Calculate the motion trajectory of the end of the main parachute line node; From the collinearity condition equation, we can also know that the space straight line Sp Pass the end of the main line knot P , the length of the main parachute line 140 is R, and the end of the main parachute line node moves on a sphere with the main parachute line length as the sphere radius and the parachute lock 170 in the parachute barrel 160 as the sphere center. At this time, the motion trajectory equation of the main parachute line node end is as follows: (X-X0) 2 +(Y-Y0) 2+(Z-Z0) 2 =R 2 ; Wherein, P(X, Y, Z) is the spatial coordinate of the end 150 of the main parachute line node, A(X0, Y0, Z0) is the spatial coordinate of the parachute lock 170 in the parachute barrel 160 of the drag parachute 130, and R is the length of the main parachute line 140.
[0038] According to the camera 120 projection center S , image point coordinates p , the end of the main line knot P The motion trajectory of the end of the main parachute line node is calculated by the intersection of the spatial straight line parameter equation and the motion trajectory of the end of the main parachute line node: The spatial straight line passing through the projection center S of the camera 120, the object point P at the end of the main parachute rope node, and the image point p at the end of the main parachute rope node intersects the sphere with the main parachute rope length AP as the radius and the parachute barrel node A as the center at points P and F, as shown in the following example: Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1 . A is the spatial coordinate of the parachute lock 170 in the parachute barrel, p is the spatial coordinate of the image point, P is the spatial coordinate of the end of the main parachute line knot, and S is the camera projection center. The camera captures the motion of the drag parachute line knot, showing that when the drag parachute main parachute line moves, the X value of the end of the main parachute line knot is positive. Therefore, P is the real spatial position of the drag parachute main parachute line, and the spatial coordinates P (X, Y, Z) of the main parachute line can be obtained.
[0039] Step 8: Calculate the pitch angle and horizontal swing angle of the drag parachute 130.
[0040] The pitch angle J and horizontal angle K of the drag parachute 130 are calculated according to the following formula: J = Arcsin(Z / R); K=Arcsin(Y / R); Where R is the length of the main parachute line; Z and Y are the spatial coordinates P(X, Y, Z) of the end of the main parachute line node.
[0041] The method provided in this application for measuring the parachute swing angle in a rocket sled drag parachute test is to install a camera on a rocket sled to perform a parachute drop test, use the camera to capture the motion trajectory image of the end of the main parachute rope node of the parachute, then calibrate the camera to solve its internal and external orientation elements, use the collinearity condition equation, rotation matrix, and spatial coordinate translation to solve the image space coordinates of the end node of the main parachute rope of the parachute, and solve the intersection of the spatial straight line passing through the camera projection center and the image point of the main parachute rope and the end node of the main parachute rope to obtain the spatial coordinates of the end node of the main parachute rope, and then calculate the pitch and horizontal swing angles of the parachute. Compared with the existing binocular camera measurement method, the method provided in this application for measuring the parachute swing angle in a rocket sled drag parachute test saves the number of cameras and reduces the workload of swing angle calculation, thereby improving measurement efficiency.
[0042] Example 1 The present invention provides a method for measuring the parachute swing angle in a rocket sled drag parachute test, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Fix the camera 120 on the rocket sled sled 100, which is set on the slide rail 110, so that the image captured by the camera 120 covers the movement trajectory range of the main parachute rope node end 150 of the main parachute rope 140 on the drag parachute 130 connected to the rocket sled sled 100; before conducting the drag parachute parachute dropping test, adjust the camera trigger mode to the rising edge mode, and tie the camera trigger line to the slider at the bottom of the rocket sled sled 100. When the rocket sled sled 100 starts, cut the trigger line and the camera 120 starts recording. After the drag parachute 130 is dropped and the rocket sled sled 100 is stationary, connect the camera 120 and the computer via a data cable to download the movement video of the drag parachute 130 to the computer.
[0043] Step 2: calibrate the camera 120 within the swinging area of the drag parachute 130 to calculate its internal and external orientation elements.
[0044] Nine control points are evenly spaced within the swing range of the main parachute cord node 150 of the drag parachute 130. Camera 120 captures images of these nine control points. A total station is used to calculate the spatial coordinates of the nine control points and the parachute lock 170 of the drag parachute 130. The internal and external orientation elements of camera 120 are calibrated using bundle adjustment.
[0045] Calculate the focal length of the camera 120 lens as f =8.316375mm, the intersection coordinates of the principal optical axis of the camera 120 and the image plane o (-0.34587939,0.21597052), the distortion coefficient of the camera 120 lens (-1.0630795672*10 -4 、-3.1784260845*10 -5、3.0381213199*10 -3 、-2.7487576875*10 -5 ), the spatial coordinates of the camera 120 photography center S (-1480.191385, 1844.741402, 794.8143401) and image orientation (φ, ω, κ) = (-1.61125574, 0.18529013, -0.00855991).
[0046] Step 3: Calculate the real-world distance coordinates of the main line knot end. With the image center at (0,0), the camera 120 resolution is 2048*2048, and the single pixel length of camera 120 is 12μm. When the canopy is fully inflated, the 150-pixel coordinates of the right parachute's main line knot end along the heading direction are (-601.75, -241.25). The real-world distance coordinates of the main line knot end, a'' (-7.221, -2.895), can be calculated.
[0047] Step 4: Calculate the coordinates of the image point at the end of the main parachute rope node in the image space coordinate system with the camera projection center as the origin. According to the calibration of camera 120, the focal length of camera 120 is f =8.3mm, then the image space coordinates of the end 150 of the drag parachute main line node in the image space coordinate system with the camera projection center as the origin are p'(-7.221, -2.895, -8.316375).
[0048] Step 5: Calculate the spatial coordinates of the image point at the end of the drag parachute's main parachute knot. Calculate the auxiliary image space coordinates p'' (Xi, Yi, Zi) of the image point at the end of the drag parachute's main parachute knot based on the rotation matrix calibrated in Step 2. The image space auxiliary coordinates are translated to obtain the real space coordinates p (X', Y', Z') of the image point at the end of the drag parachute's main parachute knot.
[0049] Step 6: Calculate the parametric equation of the spatial line passing through the camera projection center S, the image point coordinates p at the end of the main parachute rope node, and the end of the main parachute rope node P.
[0050] The spatial coordinates of the camera projection center are obtained by camera calibration as S ( X S , Y S , Z S ), the spatial coordinates of the image point at the end 150 of the main parachute line node are p ( X m , Y m , Zm ), we can get the space straight line Sp The direction vector ( m , n , s ), calculate the camera projection center S , image point coordinates p , the end of the main line knot P The parametric equation of a line in space: ; Among them, (X, Y, Z) is any point on the space line, (X', Y', Z') is the point where the space line passes. p or S point.
[0051] Step seven, find the motion trajectory of the end of the main parachute rope node; solve the intersection of the motion trajectory of the end of the main parachute rope node and the spatial straight line passing through the camera projection center S, the image point coordinate p, and the end of the main parachute rope node P.
[0052] From the collinearity condition equation, we can also know that the space straight line Sp Pass the end of the main line knot P The main line 140 is 4.2 m long, i.e., R = 4.2 m. The end of the main line knot moves on a sphere with the main line length as the radius and the parachute lock 170 in the umbrella barrel 160 as the center. At this time, the motion trajectory equation of the main line knot end is as follows: (X-X0) 2 +(Y-Y0) 2 +(Z-Z0) 2 =R 2 ; Wherein, P(X, Y, Z) is the spatial coordinate of the end 150 of the main parachute line node, A(X0, Y0, Z0) is the spatial coordinate of the parachute lock 170 in the parachute barrel 160 of the drag parachute 130, and R is the length of the main parachute line 140.
[0053] According to the camera 120 projection center S , image point coordinates p , the end of the main line knot P The intersection of the parametric equation of the space line and the motion trajectory of the main parachute rope node end is used to calculate the motion trajectory of the main parachute rope node end. It can be seen that the intersection of the space line passing through the camera projection center S, the object point P 150 degrees from the end of the drag parachute main parachute rope node end, and the image point p of the main parachute rope node end and the sphere with the main parachute rope length AP as the radius and the parachute lock A in the parachute barrel as the sphere center is P and F, as shown in the following example: Figure 3As shown in the figure. A is the parachute lock inside the parachute barrel, p is the real space coordinate of the image point, P is the spatial coordinate of the end of the main parachute rope knot, and S is the projection center of the high-speed camera. From the camera's capture of the motion of the drag parachute rope knot, we can see that when the drag parachute main parachute rope moves, the X value of the end of the main parachute rope knot is positive.
