The invention provides an
underwater vehicle multi-source
information fusion accurate navigation method and
system. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, acquiring inertial navigation data, DVL data and
ocean current information of an
underwater vehicle and observation information of a distance between the
underwater vehicle and a
beacon, and preprocessing the inertial navigation data, the DVL data and the
ocean current information; then, establishing a
state model according to the
kinematics principle of the
underwater vehicle, and establishing an observation model by combining various types of information; carrying out fusion
processing on the
state model and the observation model by adopting a self-adaptive
Kalman filtering algorithm; and finally, estimating the current position of the
underwater vehicle according to the fused
state vector, comparing the current position with a preset target position to calculate a deviation, and correcting the deviation by adjusting a
rudder angle and the rotating speed of a
propeller. According to the method, multi-source information is integrated, innovation is carried out on construction of a
state model and an observation model and position
estimation and deviation correction, adaptive Kalman filtering is adopted, and the method has the advantages that the navigation precision is improved, the
ocean current influence is considered, adaptive adjustment is realized, and real-time navigation is realized.
