Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application discloses a handheld measuring rod ultra-short baseline calibration method, and belongs to the field of underwater acoustic measurement. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ultra-short baseline underwater acoustic positioning system is core equipment for high-precision underwater target positioning, and is widely applied to underwater navigation, ocean engineering exploration, underwater target tracking and recovery and the like. The positioning precision of the system is fundamentally determined by the calibration precision of the spatial relative position and attitude relationship between the acoustic transducer array and the carrier platform (usually integrated with an inertial navigation system and a global navigation satellite system). The relationship includes an accurate rod arm vector and an installation deviation angle, and is collectively referred to as an ultra-short baseline calibration parameter.

[0003] The existing ultra-short baseline calibration methods have significant technical limitations, which restrict the application convenience and precision. The traditional mainstream method relies on laying an acoustic beacon array with known accurate coordinates in a specific water area as a control field, or using a large operating ship to perform a complex "figure-eight" or "circular" dynamic navigation operation. These methods not only have strict requirements on the operating environment, and need open and calm special water areas, but also have a complicated process, long time consumption and high calibration cost. More importantly, the calibration precision is extremely susceptible to environmental factors such as sea conditions, sound velocity profile changes, ship maneuverability limitations and multipath effects, resulting in unstable parameter calculation results and insufficient reliability.

[0004] In addition, after the ship is docked for maintenance or equipment is installed, the traditional dynamic calibration method is difficult to implement in a limited space such as a wharf, and cannot realize rapid and convenient on-site calibration, thereby affecting the operating efficiency. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a new method for calibrating an ultra-short baseline system, which can be free from the dependence on a large control field and complex ship maneuvering, and can be quickly and accurately calibrated in a conventional environment such as a nearshore area or a wharf.

Secondly, the global navigation satellite system and the inertial navigation system are installed at the top of the handheld measuring rod, and an ultra-short baseline acoustic beacon is installed at the bottom of the handheld measuring rod, so as to accurately determine the spatial relative position relationship between the global navigation satellite system and the inertial navigation system. Thirdly, the handheld measuring rod is calibrated along the edge of the ship body, and the position of the ultra-short baseline acoustic beacon can be accurately calculated by the observation data of the global navigation satellite system and the inertial navigation system during the calibration process. Finally, the ultra-short baseline acoustic transducer measures the direction and distance of the ultra-short baseline acoustic beacon, and a calibration observation model of the ultra-short baseline system is constructed, and the translation and rotation parameters of the ultra-short baseline system are taken as unknowns to be solved by least squares. As shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a nonlinear parameter optimization algorithm based on least squares is used to smooth the correction number of the installation calibration parameter, and the final asymptote is 0, which indicates that the ultra-short baseline calibration method of the handheld measuring rod is effective.
