基于维纳滤波法的提高无人机测高精度方法研究

无人机高精度高度保持装置,通常采用误差相对较小的无线电高度表来作为测量高度或高度差的传感器。无线电高度表在海面上测高时,由于海杂波以及自身噪声等随机干扰信号的影响,会产生较大误差。为消除或减小海杂波以及自身噪声等随机干扰信号对无线电高度表的影响,需要对无线电高度表输出信号进行必要的处理。本文着重论述采用维纳滤波法最优估计技术来设计提高无线电高度表抗干扰的措施方法。

准确的航迹预测是提升无人机飞行防相撞空中威胁态势预警能力的基础,针对入侵机,提出一种改进滑动窗多项式拟合航迹预测方法。主要进行两方面改进:一是对当前值之后的数个未来值预测时,为各个预测值在滑动窗内构建合适的多项式拟合方程;二是依据当前航迹值与此前有限个连续航迹值所反映出的目标运动模式信息,自适应调整拟合多项式阶数与滑动窗长度。结果表明:较之传统滑动窗多项式拟合法,本文方法具有更高的航迹预测精度,能够在一定程度上改善非合作航空器的航迹预测精度,验证了其在航迹预测中的可行性和有效性。

基于三维卷积残差网络的无人机高光谱岩性分类

岩性识别和分类是地质学、资源勘查等不可或缺的环节,高光谱遥感的兴起为岩性识别提供新的思路。利用机器学习挖掘岩石高光谱图像中的信息从而准确识别岩性,这具有重要的应用价值。目前用机器学习的方法实现岩石的高光谱影像分类研究中,缺少对空间和光谱信息的充分利用,因此本文使用了一种加入注意力机制的三维卷积残差网络结构,能够有效提取岩石高光谱图像的空间、光谱特征以及空谱联合特征。本实验利用无人机搭载高光谱传感器采集了10种不同类型的岩石样本影像,应用该算法对岩石高光谱图像进行分类。实验结果表明：该算法与传统机器学习算法SVM、RF和深度学习算法ResNet、3D CNN和SSRN相比具有更高的精度。

A guidance law for UAV autonomous aerial refueling based on the iterative computation method

The rendezvous and formation problem is a significant part for the unmanned aerial vehicle（UAV） autonomous aerial refueling（AAR） technique. It can be divided into two major phases： the long-range guidance phase and the formation phase. In this paper, an iterative computation guidance law（ICGL） is proposed to compute a series of state variables to get the solution of a control variable for a UAV conducting rendezvous with a tanker in AAR. The proposed method can make the control variable converge to zero when the tanker and the UAV receiver come to a formation flight eventually. For the long-range guidance phase, the ICGL divides it into two sub-phases： the correction sub-phase and the guidance sub-phase. The two sub-phases share the same iterative process. As for the formation phase, a velocity coordinate system is created by which control accelerations are designed to make the speed of the UAV consistent with that of the tanker.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ICGL is effective and robust against wind disturbance.     

Extended dynamic system modulation for real-time obstacle avoidance

In this paper, a novel real-time obstacle avoidance method based on Dynamic System(DS), is proposed. The proposed method ensures the impenetrability of multiple convex obstacles by online modulating the original velocity field of the DS. It can be applied to perform obstacle avoidance in the state space of the DS with both autonomous and non-autonomous DS-based controllers. While realizing the obstacle avoidance, the equilibrium points of the original DS can be saved. The modulation matrix form ...

Proactive optimization of transmission power and 3D trajectory in UAV-assisted relay systems with mobile ground users

In this paper, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-assisted relay communication system is studied, where a UAV is served as a flying relay to maintain a communication link between a mobile source node and a remote destination node. Specifically, an average outage probability minimization problem is formulated firstly, with the constraints on the transmission power of the source node, the maximum energy consumption budget, the transmission power, the speed and acceleration of the flying UAV relay. Next, the closed-form of outage probability is derived, under the hybrid line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight probability channel model. To deal with the formulated nonconvex optimization, a long-term proactive optimization mechanism is developed. In particular, firstly, an approximation for line-of-sight probability and a reformulation of the primal problem are given, respectively. Then, the reformulated problem is transformed into two subproblems: one is the transmission power optimization with given UAV’s trajectory and the other is the trajectory optimization with given transmission power allocation. Next, two subproblems are tackled via tailoring primal–dual subgradient method and successive convex approximation, respectively. Furthermore, a proactive optimization algorithm is proposed to jointly optimize the transmission power allocation and the three-dimensional trajectory. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm under various parameter configurations.
