Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optical remote sensing, specifically a seamless scanning and stable imaging method for aircraft. Background Technology

[0002] Depending on the different observation requirements of airborne optoelectronic equipment, observation types are mainly divided into staring observation and scanning search observation. The former is fixed-point observation of targets or areas with known coordinates, while the latter is wide-area observation of unknown areas. Compared with staring observation, scanning search has advantages such as a wider observation area and faster observation speed, making it a more effective observation method for gaining control of information in advance. Currently, most aircraft use periodic reciprocating motion to control the directional scanning of the optical imaging system servo platform. This scanning method is simple and easy to control; however, during aircraft movement, simple oscillation scanning cannot meet the observation requirements of stable geographic tracking, full area coverage, and clear imaging. Therefore, designing a seamless scanning stable imaging method suitable for aircraft has great practical application value. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention This invention provides a seamless scanning and stable imaging method for aircraft, which solves the problems of non-full coverage of the observation area and blurred scanning images in existing aircraft scanning technologies.

[0004] Technical solution A seamless scanning and stable imaging method for aircraft is proposed. By introducing the minimum uncertainty of systematic error, the accuracy of the optical axis geographic tracking point is calculated to achieve stable target tracking and clear imaging. A ground scanning range design model is established to overcome pointing errors and target size to avoid target omissions. At the same time, the scanning design is carried out according to ground parameters, and the ground scanning area is covered in a plow-like manner after multiple flights.

[0005] Furthermore, this includes the following steps: Step 1: Obtain the aircraft's real-time flight parameters: flight altitude relative to the ground, flight speed, flight position, and the angle of the imaging system's servo frame.

[0006] Step two: After modeling the system, consider the aircraft's position error, attitude error, and optical servo pointing error, and then use theoretical calculations to obtain the accuracy of the imaging system's optical axis geographic tracking point.

[0007] Step 3: Determine the shift time based on the motion speed of the imaging system's servo frame and the aircraft's stable imaging operation time.

[0008] Step 4: Obtain the width of the scanning overlap area based on the minimum feature size of typical targets that may exist in the predetermined target area and the accuracy of the optical axis geographic tracking points.

[0009] in To scan the width of the overlapping region, denoted as the accuracy of the optical axis geographic tracking point, and s as the minimum feature size of a typical target.

[0010] Step 5: Establish the servo heading frame scanning model 1) Ground imaging width model; At a certain flight altitude, the aircraft imaging system performs a top-down imaging of the ground, and its field of view coverage area is approximately inverted trapezoidal, that is, the upper boundary imaging width is greater than the lower boundary imaging width. The altitude of the aircraft relative to the ground. The angle between the optical axis of the imaging system and the ground. For the imaging system's heading field of view, The pitch field of view of the imaging system. Let be the intersection of the optical axis of the aircraft imaging system and the ground, and the slant distance between the ground and the aircraft. From this, the widths of the upper, middle, and lower boundaries of the trapezoidal region of the ground imaging can be obtained. The vertical distance between the upper, middle and lower boundaries of the imaging area and the ground projection of the aircraft on the ground ): 4) Ground imaging scanning angle model When the aircraft imaging system scans, the servo frame moves, defining... For the heading frame scan angle, for The ground projection angle is the ground imaging scanning angle, and L is the center chord length between the intersection of the optical axis and the ground before and after scanning.

[0011] 5) Calculation model for adjacent gear scanning parameters 4) Geographic point distance model along / perpendicular to the flight path Distance of geographic scan point along flight path:

[0012] in t The shift time is the time interval between one swing of the servo frame.

[0013] Vertical distance of geographic scan point:

[0014] 6) Calculation model for scanning field of view imaging width During level flight scanning, sideslip angle The sideslip angle represents the angle between the center of the scanning frame and the velocity direction. When the velocity vector is to the right of the aircraft's plane of symmetry, the sideslip angle is positive, and vice versa.

[0015] When the field of view of the imaging system, the width of the ground overlap area, the relative flight altitude, and the scanning gear parameters are determined, the width of the ground imaging of the heading frame and the position of the geographic scanning point relative to the flight path are calculated at different pitch angles using models 1)-5).

[0016] Step 6: Based on the requirements of the aircraft observation coverage mission, input values ​​ODSX and ODSZ are set, and the corresponding heading and pitch scanning angles are obtained by back-calculation using the calculation models described in 1)-4).

[0017] Furthermore, step seven involves observing the geographic tracking point area and activating intelligent aircraft recognition when the frame moves to the designated position.

[0018] Furthermore, in step two, the specific method for determining the tracking point accuracy is as follows: Given the aircraft's current northeastern sky position Eb, Nb, H, flight altitude, heading, and attitude angle... Pitch angle Roll attitude angle Given the servo heading frame angle EH and pitch frame angle EB of the imaging system, the deviations (Δx, Δy) between the optical axis pointing towards the target position and the aircraft position are 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( )) Ignoring altitude error, the platform's geographic location accuracy (uNd, uEd) is: uNd=

[0019] uEd= Then the accuracy of the optical axis geographic tracking point for:

[0020] Where u represents the minimum uncertainty.

[0028] Furthermore, in step 5, 2), the ground imaging scanning angle is calculated. :

[0029]

[0030] Obtain the scanning angle of the heading frame :

[0031] Furthermore, in step 5, 3), based on the overlapping area of ​​the ground... This allows us to obtain the adjacent gear scanning angles of the heading frame angle:

[0032] Scanning angles of adjacent positions in the ground imaging area:

[0033] n Total field of view after file scan:

[0034] In the formula For the imaging system's heading field of view, n For scanning position, n 1,2,3,... Ground distance of movement of the field of view center of adjacent gear :

[0035] In the formula This is the offset angle between the scan center and the flight velocity vector.

[0036] Furthermore, in step 5, 3), in order to meet the full coverage observation requirements of areas of different sizes, the swath width of the observation area is divided into multiple blocks according to the ground projection of the aircraft's field of view, and the corresponding platform servo scanning motion is divided into multiple levels.

[0037] Furthermore, step 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 to the velocity direction. The red dots represent 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 opposite 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.

[0038] 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:

[0039] Ground imaging scanning angle Substituting, we get:

[0040] In the formula, This is the angle between the heading frame angle boundaries in the relative velocity direction. In level flight, this is the angle relationship between the flight velocity vector, the scan frame center vector, and the scan center (the center vector of the scanned area). Therefore, the frame angle at the left corner point is... The frame angle of the right corner point is .

[0042] The distance from the lower right endpoint of the scanning field of view to the velocity direction:

[0043] The distance from the upper left end of the scanning field of view to the velocity direction:

[0044] The distance from the upper right endpoint of the scanning field of view to the velocity direction:

[0045] The corner point distribution is divided into three cases: four corner points distributed on both sides of the velocity direction, four corner points distributed on the left side of the velocity direction, and four corner points distributed on the right side of the velocity direction. The scanning field of view imaging widths for the three cases are as follows: Both sides

[0061] Example A seamless scanning stabilized imaging method for aircraft calculates the accuracy of the optical axis geographic tracking point by introducing the minimum uncertainty of systematic errors to achieve stable target tracking and clear imaging. It establishes a ground scanning range design model to overcome pointing errors and target size limitations, avoiding target gaps. Furthermore, it allows for scanning design based on ground parameters, facilitating thorough coverage of the ground scanning area after multiple flights. The method includes the following steps: 1) Obtain real-time flight parameters of the aircraft: flight altitude relative to the ground, flight speed, flight position, and servo frame angle of the imaging system, etc.

[0062] 2) After modeling the system, considering the aircraft's position error, attitude error, and optical servo pointing error, the accuracy of the imaging system's optical axis geographic tracking point is obtained through theoretical calculations. The specific method for determining the tracking point accuracy is as follows: Given the aircraft's current northeast-sky position (Eb, Nb, H (flight altitude)) and heading / attitude angles... Pitch angle Roll attitude angle Given the servo heading frame angle EH and pitch frame angle EB of the imaging system, the deviations (Δx, Δy) between the optical axis pointing towards the target position and the aircraft position are 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( )) Ignoring altitude error, the platform's geographic location accuracy (uNd, uEd) is: uNd=

[0066] in To scan the width of the overlapping region, denoted as the accuracy of the optical axis geographic tracking point, and s as the minimum feature size of a typical target.

[0067] 5) Establish a servo heading frame scanning model At a certain flight altitude, the ground imaging width model shows that when an aircraft's imaging system performs a top-down image of the ground, its field of view is approximately inverted trapezoidal, meaning the upper boundary imaging width is greater than the lower boundary imaging width. For example... Figure 1 As shown in the figure The altitude of the aircraft relative to the ground. The angle between the optical axis of the imaging system and the ground. For the imaging system's heading field of view, The pitch field of view of the imaging system. Let be the intersection of the optical axis of the aircraft imaging system and the ground, and the slant distance between the intersection and the aircraft. From this, the widths of the upper, middle, and lower boundaries of the trapezoidal region of the ground imaging can be obtained. ) and the vertical distance from the upper, middle and lower boundaries of the imaging area projected onto the ground of the aircraft ( : Width of the upper, middle and lower boundaries of the imaging region:

The corresponding platform servo scanning motion is divided into multiple gears. The blue box area in the figure above represents the ground projection of the scanning field of view for three different gears.

[0079] According to the above Figure 4 Overlapping area of ​​the middle ground This allows us to obtain the adjacent gear scanning angles of the heading frame angle:

[0080] Scanning angles of adjacent positions in the ground imaging area:

When the velocity vector is to the right of the aircraft's plane of symmetry, the sideslip angle is positive, and vice versa.

[0088] The aircraft's scanning field of view 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 perpendicular lines from the four corner points of the imaging area to the velocity direction, such as... Figure 5 As shown in the figure. The red dots represent 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 opposite sides of the ground projection in the velocity direction, the scanning field of view imaging width is the sum of the distances on both sides. If they are on the same side, the scanning field of view imaging width is the difference between the distances on both sides.
