To satisfy the autonomous relative navigation demand of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) formation in a GPS-denied environment, an angle-only relative navigation algorithm is proposed. First, the relative states in 3-dimension space are decoupled into relative motion along the horizontal plane and altitude by applying the relative azimuth between the north-east-down global frame and the body-fixed horizontal frame belonging to UAVs. Second, a relative dynamic and measurement model considering the measurement deviation of sensors are established. This solves the problem of colored noise in a majority of sensors used in practical engineering. Third, a consensus constraint model of relative states is established by introducing a geometric constraint among formation members. Additionally, a consensus-extended Kalman filter is designed. Finally, the angle-only relative navigation method is validated using standard Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results show that all the states of the system are observable when the observability criterion is satisfied. The relative position accuracy achieved using gyros with a drift rate of 50°/h, accelerometers with 1 mg deviation, and optical cameras with 1° Gaussian white noise is within 10 m (3σ). Additionally, the method proposed in this study can be used to estimate the sensor measurement deviations effectively. Furthermore, it can be potentially applied to improve the absolute navigation accuracy of UAVs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
