Abstract

The invention discloses a satellite / vision / laser combined urban canyon environment UAV positioning and navigation method, and belongs to the technical field of measurement and testing. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a sky image by using an omnidirectional infrared camera; extracting partial data in the 3D city information to construct a city ideal skyline database; obtaining horizontal position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle by comparing building skyline information extracted from the infrared image with an urban ideal skyline database; determining height information of the unmanned aerial vehicle by laser ranging; constructing a building boundary sky map according to the initial position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the building boundaryinformation; superposing a building boundary sky map and a satellite sky map to mine a multi-path judgment rule; calculating the final position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle, interferencecaused by light rays such as night light weakening is avoided, the calculation complexity is reduced, image processing feature extraction is easy to achieve, errors and the calculation amount causedby direct scene matching can be reduced, and the requirements of all-weather flight and operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a satellite / vision / laser combination UAV positioning and navigation method in an urban canyon environment, which belongs to the technical field of measurement and testing. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development and popularization of commercial and civilian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), drones have been applied to many fields, such as urban express drones for areas with large logistics density, urban emergencies Emergency rescue UAV auxiliary system and urban traffic dynamic monitoring UAV for smart city construction, etc. Therefore, the positioning and navigation problem of urban UAV needs to be solved urgently. At present, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS, Global Navigation Satellite System) can provide a low-cost, continuous global solution for positioning, and has become an important positioning and navigation equipment for UAVs. However, in the urban canyon env...
