Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of optical remote sensing, and particularly relates to a seamless scanning and stable imaging method for an aircraft. BACKGROUND

[0002] According to different observation requirements of an airborne photoelectric device, observation types are mainly divided into gazing observation and scanning search observation, the former is fixed-point observation on a known coordinate target or region, and the latter is wide-area observation on an unknown region. Compared with gazing observation, scanning search has advantages of wide observation region and fast observation speed, and is a more effective observation method for obtaining information right in advance. At present, most aircrafts adopt a periodic reciprocating motion mode to control the heading scanning of a photo imaging system servo platform. This scanning mode is simple and easy to control, however, in the process of aircraft movement, simple swing scanning is difficult to meet the observation requirements of geographical tracking stability, region full coverage and clear imaging. Therefore, it is of great practical application value to design a seamless scanning and stable imaging method suitable for an aircraft. SUMMARY

[0003] OBJECTIVE The application provides a seamless scanning and stable imaging method for an aircraft, which solves the problems of non-full coverage of an observation region and scanning imaging blur in the existing aircraft scanning technology.

[0005] Further, the method comprises the following steps: Step one, acquiring real-time flight parameters of the aircraft: flight relative ground height, flight speed, flight position and imaging system servo frame angle.

[0006] Step two, considering the aircraft position error, attitude error and optical servo pointing error after system modeling, and then obtaining the precision of the imaging system optical axis geographical tracking point through theoretical calculation.

[0007] Step three, determining the gear shifting time according to the imaging system servo frame movement speed and the stable imaging working time of the aircraft.

[0008] Step four, obtaining the scanning overlap region width according to the minimum feature size of a typical target possibly existing in a predetermined target region and the precision of the optical axis geographical tracking point.

[0009] wherein For the width of the scanning overlap region, For the accuracy of the optical axis geographic tracking point, s is the minimum feature size of the typical target.

[0010] Step five, establish the scanning model of the servo heading frame 1) Ground imaging width model At a certain flight altitude, the aerial vehicle imaging system performs overhead imaging on the ground, and the field of view coverage area is approximately inverted trapezoidal, that is, the upper boundary imaging width is greater than the lower boundary imaging width. For the relative height of the aerial vehicle to the ground, For the angle between the optical axis of the imaging system and the ground, For the heading field of view angle of the imaging system, For the pitch field of view angle of the imaging system, For the slant distance between the intersection of the optical axis of the aerial vehicle imaging system and the ground and the aerial vehicle. Thus, the upper, middle and lower boundary widths of the ground imaging trapezoidal area can be obtained And the vertical distance from the aerial vehicle ground projection to the upper, middle and lower boundary of the imaging area ): 4) Ground imaging scanning angle model When the aerial vehicle imaging system scans, the servo frame will move, and is defined as the heading frame scanning angle, is the ground projection angle, that is, the ground imaging scanning angle, and L is the central chord length between the intersection of the optical axis and the ground before and after scanning.

When the velocity vector is on the right of the symmetry plane of the aerial vehicle, the sideslip angle is positive, and vice versa.

[0015] ​When the imaging system field of view, ground overlap area width, flight relative height and scanning gear parameters are determined, the ground scanning imaging width of the heading frame and the position of the geographical scanning point relative to the flight line are calculated under different pitch angles by models 1) - 5).

[0016] Step six, according to the aircraft observation coverage task requirement binding input value ODSX and ODSZ, the corresponding heading and pitch scanning angle is obtained by backstepping according to the calculation model described in 1) - 4).

[0017] Further, it further comprises step seven, when the frame moves to the specified position, the geographical tracking point area is observed, and the aircraft intelligent recognition is started.

[0018] Further, the specific determination of the tracking point accuracy is: The current northeast sky position Eb, Nb of the aircraft, flight height, heading attitude angle , pitch attitude angle , roll attitude angle , imaging system servo heading frame angle EH and pitch frame angle EB are known, then the optical axis pointing target position deviation (Δx, Δy) from the aircraft position is respectively: Δx=-H*(cos(EB)cos(EH)cos( )sin( )+sin(EB)(cos( )sin( )- cos( )sin( )sin( )+cos(EB)sin(EH)(cos( )cos( )+sin( )sin( )sin( ))) / (cos( )cos( -cos(EB)cos( )sin(EH)sin( )+cos(EB)cos(EH)sin( )) Δy=-H*(cos(EB)cos(EH)cos( )cos( )+cos(EB)sin(EH)(cos( )sin( )sin( ) cos( )sin( ))+sin(EB)(-cos( )cos( )sin( )-sin( )sin( ))) / (cos( )cos( )sin(EB)-cos(EB)cos( )sin(EH)sin( )+cos(EB)cos(EH)sin( )) Without considering the height error, the geographical position accuracy (uNd, uEd) of the platform is: uNd=

9. The method as described in claim 2, characterized in that, Step 5, 5) specifically refers to: The scanning field of view of the aircraft is the ground imaging area. When the servo mechanism swings, the scanning field of view will have three different relative positional relationships with the aircraft's velocity vector. Its imaging width is determined by the length of the four corner points of the imaging area and the perpendicular line of the velocity direction. The red dots are the four corner points of the ground imaging area. For the two left corner points and the two right corner points that are closest to the ground projection in the velocity direction, if they are on both sides of the ground projection in the velocity direction, the imaging width of the scanning field of view is the sum of the distances on both sides. If they are on the same side, the imaging width of the scanning field of view is the difference between the distances on both sides. The perpendicular distance D from each corner point to the velocity direction, The distance from the ground projection point of the aircraft to the corner point. The ground imaging scanning angle in model ② It can be expressed as follows: Ground imaging scanning angle Substituting, we get: In the formula, The angle between the relative velocity direction and the heading frame angle boundary; the angle relationship between the flight velocity vector, the scanning frame center vector, and the scanning center (the center vector of the scanned area) under level flight attitude; therefore, the frame angle at the left corner point is...
