Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of UAV fault diagnosis technology, specifically relating to an adaptive anti-interference fault diagnosis method for UAV formations in noisy environments. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms perform complex tasks such as reconnaissance, inspection, and logistics through coordinated flight and information exchange among their members. The robustness and reliability of these systems are crucial for mission success. As system scale increases and mission environments become more complex, swarms are susceptible to various problems during flight, including communication interference, sensor malfunctions, and power system failures. Therefore, accurate and timely fault diagnosis of UAV swarms is of paramount strategic importance for ensuring flight safety, improving mission success rates, enabling predictive maintenance, and reducing operational costs.

[0003] However, in actual flight missions, the status monitoring data of UAV formations is highly susceptible to contamination by complex environmental noise during the transmission back to the ground station via the communication link. This channel noise can cause distortion of received key signals (such as position and velocity), reduce the signal-to-noise ratio, and create a data contamination problem where noise overwhelms fault characteristics, making fault mode identification extremely difficult. Traditional fault diagnosis methods, whether relying on precise model-based mechanistic analysis, purely data-driven methods requiring massive amounts of clean labeled data, or hybrid methods attempting to combine qualitative expert knowledge, all struggle to effectively balance diagnostic robustness and model interpretability when data quality is severely degraded due to channel interference.

[0004] Especially in the context of strong noise, how to construct a diagnostic model that can adaptively filter out interference while maintaining the transparency of the inference process has become a key technical bottleneck hindering the safe and reliable operation of UAV formations.

Five types of UAV formation fault states were constructed, representing the severity of the faults as "optimal," "good," "moderate," "critical," and "poor."

[0025] Step S102: Based on the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm, the optimization objective is to minimize the envelope entropy of the intrinsic mode function components obtained after variational mode decomposition of the observed signal. The VMD parameter combination of variational mode decomposition is dynamically searched and determined. The VMD parameter combination includes the penalty factor and the number of mode components.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, a signal decomposition model based on variational mode decomposition can be used to solve the problem that the backhaul signal of UAV formation is contaminated by noise in the channel, which causes the fault characteristics to be submerged and affects the accuracy of diagnosis.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, a signal decomposition model based on variational mode decomposition is constructed, the goal of which is to adaptively decompose noisy observation signals into several sparse intrinsic mode function (IMF) components.

[0028] First, the core mathematical framework of the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm will be explained: The Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) algorithm systematically improves optimization performance by introducing Evolutionary State Estimation (ESE) into the standard PSO framework to achieve adaptive parameter adjustment and incorporating an Elite Learning Strategy (ELS) to enhance global search capabilities. Its general update formula is as follows: ; in, , This indicates the number of particles, i.e., the population size. , This represents the dimension of the solution space, i.e., the maximum number of iterations. Indicates the first The particle in the first A dimensional velocity vector; Indicates the range of inertial weights; , Both represent acceleration factors; and Indicates the first Wei Zai Two uniformly distributed random numbers generated independently within the range; Indicates the first The particle in the first The location with the best fitness found by Dimension; Indicates the first The particle in the first A dimensional position vector; This indicates the optimal position within the domain, specifically in the d-th dimension. Euclidean distance is used to measure each particle. Average distance from other particles : ; in, Indicates the first The particle in the first A dimensional position vector; Let the average distance of the global optimum be denoted as . By comparison The maximum and minimum distances are denoted as follows: and Evolutionary factors are calculated by distance. : ; Will The state strategy is divided into four groups based on the fuzzy membership function: exploration state. Development status Convergence state Exiting the state The specific formula is as follows: ; in, The membership function representing the exploration state; Membership function representing the development status; The membership function representing the convergence state; The membership function representing the exit state; Subsequently, the inertial weight range was adjusted using the aforementioned strategy. and acceleration factor , Adaptive adjustments are made. The sigmoid activation function is used for mapping. It can make The value varies Change for the sake of change; among them, Represents the set of positive real numbers. When in the exploration state, it increases. And decrease This is to search for the optimal location as many times as possible; when in development mode, slightly increase... At the same time, slightly reduced Because it slightly increases Helpful to To explore and develop, while slightly reducing This helps avoid getting trapped in local optima, meaning that the globally optimal particle doesn't always find the globally optimal position; in the convergent state, slightly increasing and Slightly increased It can guide other particles to reach the globally optimal region as much as possible, if the size is reduced It can enable rapid population convergence but can easily lead to premature convergence. To avoid this problem... Also slightly increase. In the exit state, based on the convergence state, decrease. and increase When a globally optimal particle escapes a local optimum, it may become a new guiding particle, and other particles need to follow it to the new region as quickly as possible, thereby reducing... Increase The following formula helps to achieve this goal: ; ; in, Indicates the range of inertial weights With evolutionary factors The status is dynamically adjusted; Indicates the current iteration number; Indicates the current iteration number ; Indicates the next iteration number ; hour, for ; hour, for ; Indicates the acceleration rate, used to constrain... and The maximum increment or decrease between these intervals ensures that the adjustment of the acceleration coefficient is not too abrupt; use the interval constraint and If the sum of the parameters is greater than 4.0, then the following constraint formula is applied. and Re-standardization: ; Finally, by employing a learning strategy, it is applied to help the globally optimal particle escape its local optimum when the search state is determined to be convergent. The specific formula is as follows: ; ; in, Indicates the first The dimensional elite learning strategy randomly selects a dimension with the best historical position and the highest fitness; the search range is... ; It is a normal distribution; It follows the mean; It is the standard deviation; and yes The upper and lower bounds indicate the learning scale upon reaching the new area; This represents the current iteration number; This represents the maximum number of iterations.

[0029] The penalty factor and the number of modal components for VMD parameter combination are optimized based on the APSO algorithm, and the minimum envelope entropy is used as the fitness function. According to the aforementioned general update formula, the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm specific to this embodiment of the invention can be obtained, including: ; ; in, Indicates the current iteration number Below, the number of modal components The velocity vector; Indicates the next iteration number Below, the number of modal components The velocity vector; Indicates the current iteration number Below, the number of modal components The position vector; Indicates the current iteration number Below, punishment factor The velocity vector; Indicates the next iteration number Below, punishment factor The velocity vector; Indicates the current iteration number Below, punishment factor The position vector; Indicates the next iteration number Below, the number of modal components The position vector; Indicates the next iteration number Below, punishment factor The position vector; This represents the number of individual historical best modal components. ; Represents the individual's historical best punishment factor ; Represents the number of global historical best modal components. ; Represents the global historical best penalty factor .

[0030] Using an adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm, the optimal VMD parameter combination of the penalty factor and the number of mode components in variational mode decomposition is determined by dynamic search with the goal of minimizing the envelope entropy of the intrinsic mode function components obtained after variational mode decomposition of the observed signal.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the observed signal is decomposed into multiple intrinsic mode function components using variational mode decomposition. Each intrinsic mode function component Performing a Hilbert transform can demodulate the corresponding instantaneous amplitude, yielding the envelope signal. It directly reflects the energy distribution of the signal at different points in time: ; in, Represents the Hilbert transform operator; For discrete time point indexes, , Indicates the number of discrete time points; It represents the imaginary unit.

[0032] To calculate information entropy, the envelope signal needs to be transformed into a discrete probability distribution. Through normalization, the envelope signal is converted into a probability mass function. : ; This operation ensures Thus satisfying the probability distribution The magnitude directly characterizes the signal energy at discrete time points. The concentration ratio on.

[0033] Based on information entropy theory, the Shannon entropy value of this probability distribution is calculated and defined as the envelope entropy of the intrinsic mode function component: ; Among them, envelope entropy It quantitatively reflects the concentration of impulse components in the intrinsic mode function components. The lower the entropy value, the more concentrated the signal energy is in a few impulse events, and the better its sparsity; the higher the entropy value, the more dispersed the signal energy is, and the more noise components there are.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the fitness function of the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm is defined as: ; in, This represents the modal bandwidth.

[0035] The minimum envelope entropy means that the signal energy is highly concentrated at a few time points, that is, it has good sparsity, prominent impact components, and background noise and interference components are effectively suppressed. The fault characteristics have obvious peak characteristics in the time domain distribution.

[0036] The fitness function ensures that the optimization process is directly guided to finding the optimal VMD parameter combination that produces the sparsest and most representative eigenmode function components. .

[0037] Step S103: The observed signal is decomposed again using VMD parameter combination, and the effective intrinsic mode function components are selected for reconstruction to obtain the denoised signal.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the observed signal is re-decomposed using VMD parameter combinations, and effective intrinsic mode function components are selected for reconstruction to obtain a denoised signal, including: The observed signal is re-decomposed using VMD parameter combinations to obtain multiple intrinsic mode function components; Calculate the correlation coefficient and envelope entropy between each intrinsic mode function component and the observed signal; The intrinsic mode function components with a correlation coefficient greater than the first preset threshold and an envelope entropy less than the second preset threshold are taken as valid intrinsic mode function components. The denoised signal is reconstructed by superimposing multiple effective intrinsic mode function components.

[0039] In VMD parameter combinations Based on this, the constrained variational problem of VMD can be expressed in the following form: ; in, Represents the first continuous time interval. Each intrinsic mode function component ; Indicates the first The center frequencies of the eigenmode function components ; It is a Dirac distribution; , The number of intrinsic mode function components obtained from the decomposition, i.e., the modal bandwidth; It is about time The derivative; It is the imaginary unit, satisfying ; It is a convolution operation; yes The square of the norm; It is an observed signal, corresponding to the aforementioned .

[0040] Introducing a quadratic penalty term to reduce the impact of Gaussian noise on the reconstructed signal and introducing Lagrange multipliers Strictly implement constraints to augment the Lagrange function. The following is introduced: ; in, Indicates the first The center frequencies of the eigenmode function components; Indicates the first The intrinsic mode function components at time 1 The amplitude at that point; It is an inner product operation; Indicates at time of ; Indicates at time of ; This indicates the upper limit of the range of values ​​for the penalty factor. .

[0041] During the decomposition process, the initial decomposition mode is obtained through initialization operations. Initial center frequency and the initial Lagrange multipliers Then, the frequency domain decomposed modes are updated using the following update formula. Center frequency and Lagrange multipliers ,in This indicates that, except for the currently updating number... Other intrinsic mode function components besides the original intrinsic mode function components. The update formula is as follows: ; ; ; in, Indicates the first In the next iteration The frequency domain form; express The frequency domain form; Indicates the first In the next iteration The frequency domain form, Indicates the first The intrinsic mode function components at time 1 The amplitude at that point; Indicates the first In the next iteration The frequency domain form; Indicates the first The frequency domain form of the Lagrange multipliers in the next iteration; Represents frequency variables; Indicates the first The center frequency in the next iteration; Indicates the first The center frequency in the next iteration; This indicates the step size for updating the Lagrange multiplier.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, preset parameters are introduced. Used to terminate iteration, its expression is as follows: ; Among them, the formula is as follows , , "etc" is an identifier for a frequency domain signal, indicating that the variable is the frequency domain form of the corresponding time domain signal after Fourier transform.

[0043] To screen out modes containing fault characteristics, the correlation coefficient between each intrinsic mode function (IMF) component and the observed signal is first calculated, along with its envelope entropy. IMF components with high correlation coefficients and low envelope entropies are selected as effective IMF components for signal reconstruction. Specifically, IMF components with high correlation coefficients can refer to those with correlation coefficients greater than a first preset threshold, and IMF components with low envelope entropies can refer to those with envelope entropies less than a second preset threshold. The first and second preset thresholds can be set by those skilled in the art according to their needs, and are not limited here. The correlation coefficient refers to the correlation between the IMF component and the observed signal.

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, based on a general reconstruction formula, a denoised signal is reconstructed by superimposing multiple effective intrinsic mode function components, including: ; in, This represents the speed signal after noise reduction; Indicates the noise reduction Direction and position signals; Indicates the noise reduction Direction and position signals; Represents the effective intrinsic mode function components; This indicates a general noisy signal, i.e., the signal type currently being processed; This indicates that the general noisy signal is a speed signal; This indicates that the general noisy signal is Direction and position signals; This indicates that the general noisy signal is Direction and position signals; This represents the set of effective intrinsic mode function components.

[0045] Step S104: Extract key features of formation consistency based on the denoised signal and formation system model; key features of formation consistency include average consistency features of position error and average consistency features of velocity error.

[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, key features of formation consistency are extracted based on the denoised signal and the formation system model, including: Based on the noise-reduced signal and the formation system model, the average position consistency error and average velocity consistency error between each UAV and the desired state of the formation are calculated to obtain the key features of formation consistency.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the acquired noise-reduced signal and formation system model, the average position consistency error and average velocity consistency error between each UAV and the desired formation state are calculated. This extracts key formation consistency features that directly reflect the formation's cooperative state and fault modes, serving as core indicators characterizing the overall operational health of the system. These features are then used as input to the subsequent confidence rule base and for fault state inference. The key formation consistency features include average position error consistency features and average velocity error consistency features.

[0048] The calculation formulas for key features of formation consistency include: ; in, Indicates the first Average consistency characteristics of the position error of each UAV; It is the first The average consistency characteristics of the speed error of each UAV; This indicates the calculation of Euclidean distance.

[0049] Step S105: Use the confidence rule base to perform fusion reasoning on the key features of formation consistency to achieve the assessment of the overall fault status of the UAV formation system.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, after signal denoising and formation consistency feature extraction are completed, the extracted features can be fused and reasoned using a confidence rule base (BRB) to achieve an assessment of the overall fault status of the UAV formation system.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, a confidence rule base is used to perform fusion reasoning on key features of formation consistency to assess the overall fault state of the UAV formation system, including: Confidence rules are constructed by taking the key features of formation consistency as prerequisite attributes. By calculating the activation weights of the confidence rules and using an evidence reasoning algorithm for fusion reasoning, the confidence distribution evaluation results of the overall fault state of the UAV formation system are output.

[0052] Using key features of formation consistency as prerequisite attributes, confidence rules are constructed. In the confidence rule base, the first...

The peak in the distribution, i.e., the location of the maximum value. Subsequently, according to Reorganizing the distribution: If the peak is located at the beginning or end of the sequence, the reorganized distribution will be constrained to a strictly monotonic sequence; if the peak is located in the middle of the sequence, the reorganized distribution will be constrained to a single-peaked shape centered on the peak, with the left side monotonically increasing and the right side monotonically decreasing.

[0054] The confidence rule base fusion process can be divided into three steps: rule activation, rule reasoning, and parameter optimization. The specific steps are as follows: a) Confidence rule activation: according to Calculate relative to The matching degree is calculated using the following formula: ; in, express The first in One reference value; express The first in One reference value; Indicates the first The first prerequisite attribute and the first The degree of matching of each confidence rule; according to Calculate each confidence rule activation weight This activation weight reflects The degree to which something is activated to participate in subsequent evidence fusion is determined by the following formula: ; in, Indicates the first Attribute weights normalized for each feature; Indicates the first The rule weight of each confidence rule; Indicates the first The first prerequisite attribute and the first The degree of matching of the confidence rules.

[0056] Based on the basic probability quality calculation formula, the Evidence Reasoning (ER) algorithm is used to aggregate all activated confidence rules. The recursive form of this algorithm is as follows: ; in, For the front Performance status in confidence rules The basic probability assignment of merging; For the front Residual basic probability assignment in the confidence rule; For the front In the confidence rule, the basic probability assignment of the merged data that did not participate in the calculation; The correction coefficient is used to ensure that the sum of probability masses equals one.

[0057] The fusion confidence score of the performance states is denoted as... The result can be obtained using the following formula: ; Therefore, the output generated by the adaptive anti-disturbance confidence rule base is an evaluation of the performance status of the UAV formation system, and its expression is as follows: ; in, Indicates the performance status of the drone formation system; Indicates utility value.

[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, the performance status of the drone formation system can be divided into five levels according to a preset range: (Optimal) (good), (medium), (critical), (Poor) When lie in When the pre-defined range is within the specified range, the overall performance status of the drone formation system is judged to be good, or when... lie in When the pre-defined range is reached, the overall performance status of the UAV formation system is judged to be poor, thereby realizing the assessment of the overall fault status of the UAV formation system.

[0059] c) Optimization of confidence rule base parameters: In one implementation, to further improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis, a step of optimizing the confidence rule base parameters can be performed. The specific process is as follows: The constraint problem of a performance evaluation system based on an adaptive anti-disturbance confidence rule base can be described as follows: ; To more clearly demonstrate the optimization process, all parameters to be optimized are integrated into a high-dimensional vector. This high-dimensional vector contains the confidence scores of all the confidence rules. and confidence rule weights and attribute weight The total dimension of the APSO optimization algorithm is ; ; in, This represents the first high-dimensional vector; Indicates the first A high-dimensional vector; This indicates the confidence level of confidence rule 1; Representing confidence rules Confidence level; Indicates the weight of the confidence rule; Indicates attribute weight.

[0060] Subsequently, based on the aforementioned APSO general update formula, an APSO optimization equation is formulated for the confidence rule base parameter vector: ; ; in, Indicates the next iteration number Next, the A velocity vector of a high-dimensional vector; Indicates the current iteration number Next, the A velocity vector of a high-dimensional vector; Represents the optimal high-dimensional vector of an individual's history; Indicates the current iteration number Next, the The position vector of a high-dimensional vector; Indicates the next iteration number Next, the The position vector of a high-dimensional vector; Represents the global historical best high-dimensional vector; .

[0061] The minimum mean squared error (MSE) is used as the fitness function for the APSO optimization algorithm, and the specific formula is as follows: ; ; in, It is the first The true output value of each training sample, i.e., the true fault state; It is the first The predicted output value of each training sample, i.e., the predicted fault state; This refers to the number of training samples. Each training sample consists of two parts: the key feature of the input sample formation consistency and the actual fault state corresponding to that feature.

[0062] By using a confidence rule base optimized with improved parameters to perform fusion reasoning on key features of formation consistency, a more accurate overall fault status assessment result for the UAV formation system can be obtained.

[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm, the envelope entropy of the intrinsic mode function components obtained after variational mode decomposition of the minimum observed signal is used as the optimization objective. The VMD parameter combination of variational mode decomposition is dynamically searched and determined, and the observed signal is re-decomposed using the VMD parameter combination. The effective intrinsic mode function components are selected for reconstruction to obtain a denoised signal. Then, based on the denoised signal and the formation system model, key features of formation consistency are extracted, thereby realizing adaptive noise filtering and effective extraction of key fault features. In addition, the confidence rule base is used to perform fusion reasoning on key features of formation consistency, and multi-source features are fused through evidence reasoning mechanism to output high-confidence fault state assessment results; By integrating adaptive signal decomposition and interpretable rule base optimization, the diagnostic challenges caused by data distortion under noise interference are effectively solved. Under the premise of ensuring transparency and rationality of the reasoning process, high-precision, robust and reliable diagnosis of the fault status of UAV formations is achieved, providing core technical support for the safe operation and intelligent maintenance of UAV clusters in complex environments.

[0064] A simulation experiment of an adaptive anti-interference fault diagnosis method for UAV formations in noisy environments, provided by an embodiment of the present invention, is as follows: In the specific implementation process, the drone formation position and velocity signals that tend to be consistent between 70 seconds and 150 seconds are selected as the processing objects. The variational mode decomposition method based on the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm is used for noise reduction. The key parameter configurations used in the adaptive optimization process are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Adaptive Variational Mode Decomposition Parameter Configuration Table

[0065] Based on the extraction method of key features of formation consistency, attribute feature transformation is performed on the denoised formation signal with a time step of 1 to obtain the average consistency features of position error and the average consistency features of velocity error. On this basis, an input dataset containing 80 samples is constructed. Each sample consists of the average consistency features of position error and velocity error, and the corresponding fault state label. The fault states are divided into five levels: (Optimal) (good), (medium), (critical), (Poor). Taking the average location error as an example, the location errors of noiseless data, noisy data, and denoised data are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram comparing the average position error signal under different conditions.

[0066] Before inputting the indicator data into the BRB, it is necessary to construct indicator reference values ​​and performance status reference values ​​based on typical operating conditions of UAV formations and domain expert knowledge, as shown in Tables 2 and 3. The initial indicator weights and rule weights of the confidence rule base are set to 1, and the initial confidence level is provided by technical personnel.

[0069] The optimized Adaptive Anti-interference Belief Rule Base (BRB-AD) fault diagnosis model was validated on a dataset simulating a noisy UAV formation channel environment. The experimental setup was as follows: 70% of the noise-free data was used as the training set for model training and parameter optimization; the remaining 30% of the noisy data (SNR = 30 dB) was used as the test set to evaluate the model's diagnostic performance in real-world interference environments. The maximum number of iterations for the improved adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm was set to 300. After nine independent repeated experiments, the model achieved an average diagnostic accuracy of 96.00% on the test set, demonstrating the good robustness and stability of this invention in noisy environments. The accuracy distribution of the nine simulation experiments is shown below. Figure 3 Show, Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating the accuracy of nine simulation experiments. The fluctuation range is within an acceptable range, further confirming the reliability of the model's performance.
