Navigation Algorithm

Navigation is a precondition for ocean space vehicles to work safely in polar regions. The traditional polar algorithms employ the grid strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) as the backbone and Doppler velocity log (DVL) output velocity as measurements to constitute the integrated navigation system, of which, however, the position errors still accumulate with time. The ultra-short baseline (USBL) position system can provide position information that can be used to improve the performance of the SINS/DVL integrated system. Therefore, a grid SINS/DVL/USBL integrated algorithm for polar navigation is proposed in this paper. In order to extend the availability of the USBL and improve integration accuracy in polar regions, the USBL observation model is established based on the relative position measurement firstly. Then, a grid SINS/DVL/USBL integrated algorithm is proposed to fuse the information of these sensors with a modified Kalman filter (MKF) dealing with the sparse USBL output. Finally, a vector fault detection method, which takes the measurements as detection objects instead of the filter, is designed to locate the measurement fault and can be employed by the centralized filter to improve the fault-tolerant. Simulation and experiment results show that the proposed grid SINS/DVL/USBL integrated navigation system can further restrain SINS errors especially the position errors effectively. Meanwhile, the vector fault detection method can detect and isolate the fault measurements of centralized filter immediately and accurately. Therefore, the proposed fault-tolerant grid SINS/DVL/USBL integrated navigation algorithm can improve the reliability and accuracy of polar navigation for ocean space application.

Navigation Method

Aiming at the problem that the accuracy and stability of SINS/BDS integrated navigation system decrease due to uncertain model and observation anomalies, a SINS/BDS integrated navigation method based on classified weighted adaptive filtering is proposed. Firstly, the innovation covariance matching technology is used to detect whether there is any abnormality in the system as a whole. Then the types of anomalies are distinguished by hypothesis test. Different types of anomalies have different effects on state estimation. Based on the dynamic changes of innovation, different adaptive weighting methods are adopted to correct navigation information. The simulation results show that this method can effectively improve the fault-tolerant performance of integrated navigation system in complex environment with unknown anomaly types. When both model anomalies and observation anomalies exist, the speed and position accuracy are increased by 42% and 24% compared with the standard KF, 38% and 22% compared with the innovation orthogonal adaptive filtering, which has higher navigation accuracy.

It is important that scene matching algorithm should satisfy the requirements of real-time, robustness and high-precision for inertial integrated navigation system. And considering the serious distortion and speckle noises of SAR images, we proposed a new scene matching algorithm for the SAR/INS integrated navigation system with high-speed and robustness based on Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF (ORB). We started by detecting scale-space FAST-based features in combination with an efficiently computed orientation in the image. Then, we calculated feature point's Rotation-Aware BRIEF descriptor which performs well with rotation and match features by computing Hamming distance between descriptors. Finally, we adopted GroupSAC which are proposed recently to remove the false matching points and the least square algorithm for getting the distortion transformation parameters that are the aircraft position errors and rotation transform parameters between real image and reference image. Experimental results on real SAR images indicate that our algorithm is invariant to various image transformations due to rotation and scale, and also robust to speckle noise and extremely efficient to compute, better than SIFT in many situations. Therefore, our algorithm can meet the high performance needs for matching navigation in the SAR/INS integrated navigation system.

The TI high performance floating point DSP TMS320C6713B is used as core processor, which is designed to realize both the data collecting and the navigation calculating. According to the error models of inertial navigation system, an integrated navigation algorithm used Kalman filter is proposed to fuse the information from all of the sensors. The simulation test results show the feasibility of the system design.

The Kalman filter (KF), which recursively generates a relatively optimal estimate of underlying system state based upon a series of observed measurements, has been widely used in integrated navigation system. Due to its dependence on the accuracy of system model and reliability of observation data, the precision of KF will degrade or even diverge, when using inaccurate model or trustless data set. In this paper, a fault-tolerant adaptive Kalman filter (FTAKF) algorithm for the integrated navigation system composed of a strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), a Doppler velocity log (DVL), and a magnetic compass (MCP) is proposed. The evolutionary artificial neural networks (EANN) are used in self-learning and training of the intelligent data fusion algorithm. The proposed algorithm can significantly outperform the traditional KF in providing estimation continuously with higher accuracy and smoothing the KF outputs when observation data are inaccurate or unavailable for a short period. The experiments of the prototype verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper reports on a new navigation algorithm for fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to bridge Global Position System (GPS) outages, based on a common navigation system configuration. The ground velocity is obtained from wind-compensated airspeed, and a centripetal force model is introduced to estimate the motion acceleration. Compensated by this acceleration, the gravity vector can be extracted from the accelerometer measurement. Finally, fusing the information of the ground velocity, magnetic heading, barometric height, and gravity vector, the Integrated Navigation System (INS) is reconstructed, and an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is used to estimate INS errors. Hardware-in-loop simulation results show that compared with INS-only solutions, the proposed method effectively resists long-term drift of INS errors and significantly improves the accuracy for dynamic navigation during GPS outages.

Considering the conventional federated filtering-based fault-tolerant integrated navigation system is difficult to be implemented by serial data processing circuits, this paper presents navigation switching strategy-based SINS/GPS/ADS/DVL fault-tolerant integrated navigation system to guarantee the reliability of integrated navigation system under sensor faults. When sensor failure appears, SINS and fault-free sensors are selected successively to form an integrated navigation system, such that reliable navigation parameters can be obtained. The simulation tests are implemented to verify that the SINS/GPS/ADS/DVL integrated navigation system can provide reliable navigation parameters when ADS and DVL are disabled.
