An attitude solving method of an unmanned aerial vehicle attitude and heading reference system

This invention relates to an attitude calculation method for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attitude reference system, belonging to the field of UAV navigation. In this invention, the collected sensor data is first filtered to obtain an initial unit quaternion from the navigation coordinate system to the vehicle coordinate system. The accelerometer output is normalized and an error vector is constructed with the normalized gravity vector. The vehicle motion mode is determined by the accelerometer and gyroscope outputs, and the gain coefficient is adaptively adjusted to calculate the gyroscope error correction, thus completing the attitude update and correcting the horizontal attitude. Simultaneously, the magnetometer output is evaluated; if the magnetometer output is valid, the heading angle is corrected, and the corrected three-axis attitude angles are output in real time. This invention uses only quaternions for calculation, avoiding the calculation of rotation matrices and improving calculation efficiency. Compared to traditional complementary filtering algorithms, it incorporates vehicle motion mode judgment and adaptive complementary filter parameter adjustment, avoiding erroneous attitude corrections by the accelerometer under high dynamic conditions. By applying a second-order complementary filter to process accelerometer and magnetometer data for attitude compensation, horizontal attitude correction can be avoided when magnetometer data is unavailable, achieving decoupling of attitude correction.

Implementation method and system of a fully reference frame independent quantum key distribution protocol

This invention discloses a method and system for implementing a completely reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution protocol, belonging to the field of quantum information technology. Alice and Bob, the communicating parties, randomly select mutually unbiased basis vectors to prepare quantum states and send them to a third party, Charlie. Charlie performs Bell state projection measurements and announces the success. Both parties publish the basis vector information, divide the dataset, and calculate the gain and bit error rate. A 3×3 correlation tensor matrix is ​​constructed and singular value decomposition is performed to obtain three reference-frame-independent singular values. The secure key rate is calculated based on the bit error rate. Finally, key negotiation and security enhancement are performed to extract the secure key. This invention does not require basis vector alignment, completely eliminating the dependence on reference frame calibration. It can still stably generate keys even with basis vector drift, and the amount of information required by eavesdroppers is lower, significantly improving the practicality and security of the quantum key distribution system.

Method and apparatus for cross correlation

A multi-stream cross correlator for spiking neural networks, where each stream contains significant stochastic content. At least one event occurs, with a fixed temporal relationship across at least two streams. Each stream is treated as a Frame Of Reference (FOR), and subject to an adjustable delay based on comparison to the Other streams. For each spike of the FOR, a timing analysis, relative to the last and current FOR spikes, is completed by comparing Post and Pre accumulators. Also, a new timing analysis is begun, with the current FOR spike, by restarting the production of Post and Pre weighting functions, the values of which are accumulated, upon the occurrence of each Other spike, until a next FOR spike. A one-spike delay unit can be used, if time-neutral conflict resolution is used. The average spike rate of the FOR can be determined and used for the Post and Pre weighting functions.

Automated alignment of an antenna's frame of reference to that of a transit craft

Techniques are described for aligning an antenna's frame of reference to that of a transit craft without relying on precise physical antenna alignment during installation. For example, the antenna is installed on the craft in coarse alignment with the craft's three-dimensional reference frame. The antenna is initially steered based on obtaining ephemeris information for a radiofrequency (RF) node and receiving craft attitude and location information from an on-craft navigation system (OCNS). The antenna finds and locks onto an RF signal from the RF node and uses closed-loop tracking to optimize the antenna pointing to maximize signal quality. An alignment mapping is registered based on a misalignment between the optimized antenna pointing and the craft attitude as reported by the OCNS. The alignment mapping can be subsequently exploited to translate real-time attitude data from the OCNS for high-precision pointing and tracking by the antenna.
