基于线性矩阵不等式的智能飞行器航迹规划方法

Path planning of intelligent aircraft based on linear matrix inequality

  • 摘要: 智能飞行器在军用和民用领域发挥着越来越重要的作用. 在飞行过程中经常会出现累积的定位误差并且飞行到达应用场景时有定位精度要求,故需要对飞行轨迹进行适当的位置校正. 为此,提出了一种在复杂条件下的智能飞行器航迹规划方法,利用基于线性矩阵不等式(LMI)的优化方法实现最少校正次数和最短飞行距离的双重目标. 根据可用校正点数量以及它们对飞行器位置的不同影响,首先生成一个0~1三角变量矩阵来表示从点A开始的飞行航迹,以面向目标的方式不重复的遍历一系列校正点,并最终到达目标点;然后对航迹相关矩阵的变量项施加强制性的约束条件,将所有的约束作为一个整体转换和施加到之前定义的变量矩阵中,最后利用基于LMI的优化方法实现双重优化. 通过仿真结果验证了所提出的航迹规划方法在计算资源和优化结果方面比线性规划等其他优化方法更优越.

     

    Abstract: Intelligent aircraft plays an increasingly important role in a variety of applications. The aircraft's position accuracy while arriving at the application scenery is required. And it necessitates the flight's trajectory planning with appropriate position corrections due to the accumulated position errors that usually occur during the flight. To this end, this paper proposes a trajectory planning method for an intelligent aircraft working in some complex conditions, where an linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based optimizing method is utilized to achieve the dual goal of minimum correction times and minimum travel length. According to the number of available correction points and their different influences on the aircraft position, a triangular variable matrix with 0-1 entries is first designed to represent a flight trajectory that starts from point A, traverses a series of correction points in a target-oriented manner without any repetition, and ultimately arrives at the target point. After that, several other compulsory constranits are imposed on the trajectory-related matrix's variable entries, all of these constranits are later transformed and imposed on the previously defined variable matrix as a whole. The LMI-based optimizing method is performed to achieve the dual goal. Simulational results validate the proposed trajectory planning method and demonstrate its remarkable performance in the sense of less computing resources and optimization results, compared with many other optimization methods such as linear pro-gramming.
