An Integration Method of Inertial Navigation System and Three-Beam Lidar for the Precision Landing

الملخص EN

To ensure the high accuracy, independence, and reliability of the measurement system in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) landing process, an integration method of inertial navigation system (INS) and the three-beam Lidar is proposed.

The three beams of Lidar are, respectively, regarded as an independent sensor to integrate with INS according to the conception of multisensor fusion.

Simultaneously, the fault-detection and reconstruction method is adopted to enhance the reliability and fault resistance.

First the integration method is described.

Then the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) error model is introduced and the measurement model of SINS/Lidar integrated navigation is deduced under Lidar reference coordinate.

The fault-detection and reconstruction method is introduced.

Finally, numerical simulation and vehicle test are carried out to demonstrate the validity and utility of the proposed method.

The results indicate that the integration can obtain high precision navigation information and the system can effectively distinguish the faults and accomplish the reconstruction to guarantee the normal navigation when one or two beams of the Lidar malfunction.
