By using communication and time synchronization function of a data link network,a collaborative algorithm is proposed,which makes use of a virtual coordinates constructed by airplane to get high precision measurement source and realize effective estimation of the system error. This algorithm is based on Kalman filter and does not require high capacities in memory and calculation. Simulated results show that the algorithm has better convergence performance and estimation precision,no constrain on sampling period and accords with transfer characteristic of data link and tactical internet perfectly.展开更多

A significant problem is the phenomenon of multi-path propagation. Considering it, the coordinate registration algorithms of planar measurement model and spherical measurement model are respectively derived in detail. Noticeably, a new transforming expression of apparent azimuth and an integrated form of transforming expressions from measurement vector to ground state vector in coordinate registration algorithm of spherical measurement model are proposed. And then simulations are made to verify the correctness of the proposed algorithms and expression. Besides this, the transforming error rate of slant range, Doppler and apparent azimuth of the two kinds of models are given respectively. Then the quantitative analysis of error rate is also given. It can be drawn a conclusion that the coordinate registration algorithms of planar measurement model and spherical measurement model are both correct.展开更多

However,in the current profile,precision milling,grinding or near-netshape technology has to undergo a tedious iterative error compensation. Thus,if the profile error area and boundary can be determined automatically and quickly,it will help to improve the efficiency of subsequent re-machining correction process. To this end,an error boundary intersection approach is presented aiming at the error area determination of complex profile,including the phaseⅠof cross sectional non-rigid registration based on the minimum error area and the phaseⅡof boundary identification based on triangular meshes intersection. Some practical cases are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach.展开更多

Consequently, the influence of radar systematic errors on tracks from different radars, which is described as some rotation and translation, has been analyzed theoretically in this paper. In addition, a novel approach named alignment-correlation method is developed to estimate and reduce this effect, align and correlate tracks accurately without prior registration using phase correlation technique and statistic binary track correlation algorithm. Monte-Carlo simulation results illustrate that the proposed algorithm has good performance in solving the track-to-track association problem with systematic errors in radar network and could provide effective and reliable associated tracks for the next step of registration.展开更多

Usually,they use a magneto-optic tool to collect the outputs of OT and EMT simultaneously,and then compare the output of OT with that of EMT to compensate the error of EMT. Although the outputs of EMT and OT can be matched each other by using a time stamp which denotes when the acquirement command is sent,but the accuracy will decrease if the tool moves faster for the errors of the time stamp itself. A rapid method for compensating EMT output error is proposed. A particular scan mode of the magneto-optic tool is designed for collecting EMT and OT outputs,and a data registration method is proposed to match the outputs of EMT and OT. The simulated results show that the output error of EMT can be decreased efficiently and the accuracy of the compensation can be improved by about 15% compared with that of the existing methods.展开更多
