Abstract

In the multi-sensor system, sensor registration errors such as a sensor bias must be corrected so that the individual sensor data are expressed in a common reference frame. If registration process is not properly executed, large tracking errors or formation of multiple track on the same target can be occured. Especially for launch vehicle tracking system, each multiple observation lies on the same reference frame and then fused trajectory can be the best track for slaving data. Hence, this paper describes an on-line bias estimation/correction and asynchronous sensor fusion for launch vehicle tracking. The bias estimation architecture is designed based on pseudo bias measurement which derived from error observation between GPS and radar measurements. Then, asynchronous sensor fusion is adapted to enhance tracking performance.

다중센서 시스템에서 센서 바이어스를 제거하는 센서 등록 과정은 각각의 센서가 공통된 좌표를 갖게 하기 위해 반드시 필요하다. 만약 센서 등록 과정을 적절하게 처리하지 않는다면, 거대한 추적 에러 또는 같은 목표물을 향한 다수의 허수 트랙이 발생하게 되어 추적에 실패하게 된다. 특히, 발사체 추적에 있어서 각각의 추적 장비는 반드시 적절한 센서등록 과정을 거쳐야 하며, 이 후 다중센서 융합알고리즘을 활용하면 발사체 추적 성능을 높이고 다중 추적 시스템에 정확한 지향입력으로 활용 가능하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 바이어스 추정/제거 알고리즘과 비동기 다중 센서 융합 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 바이어스 추정 알고리즘은 GPS와 다중 레이더 간의 의사 바이어스 측정치를 활용하였고, 비동기 센서 융합알고리즘 적용을 통해 추적 성능을 향상하였다.
