    摘要: A construction machine includes: a work device attached to a machine body in a raiseable and lowerable manner; an antenna that is attached to the machine body and receives positioning signals from satellites; a machine body IMU that senses information on a posture and motion of the machine body; an IMU that senses information on a posture of the work device; and a computing device that computes posture information indicating the postures of the machine body and the work device. The computing device performs positioning computation to compute a position of the machine body and a variance value thereof based on the positioning signals received by the antenna, subjects the position as a result of the positioning computation to first smoothing processing that is to increase a degree of smoothing as the variance value as a result of the positioning computation becomes larger, and computes the posture information.

    摘要: The purpose is to easily achieve verification of an integrated attitude angle based on an inertial sensor. An attitude angle calculating device may include an integrated attitude angle calculating module, a reverse-calculated value calculating module, a reference value calculating module, and a determining module. The integrated attitude angle calculating module may calculate an integrated attitude angle using an output of the inertial sensor and a positioning signal. The reverse-calculated value calculating module may reverse calculate, using the integrated attitude angle, a physical quantity obtained based on the positioning signal that is used for calculating the integrated attitude angle. The reference value calculating module may calculate a reference physical quantity corresponding to the reverse-calculated physical quantity, based on an observation value of the positioning signal. The determining module may determine whether to reset the calculation of the integrated attitude angle by using the reverse-calculated physical quantity and the reference physical quantity.

    摘要: The system has multiple, infrared cameras 8 adjusted to spatially detect infrared radiance in different bands of infrared light, and connected to an image processing computer that processes and combines the images, and generates video display signals for producing a video display which indicates the position of the adverse atmospheric conditions relative to the aircraft. Each of the cameras is provided with a respective filter adjusted to filter infrared light with a bandwidth corresponding to infrared bandwidth characteristics of an adverse atmospheric condition from a set of adverse atmospheric conditions. The image processing computer is adapted to identify adverse atmospheric conditions, based on threshold conditions and using the detected infrared radiance, data from a look-up table and measured parameters including information on the position and/or attitude of the aircraft. The image processing computer is further adapted to display the identified adverse atmospheric conditions as a spatial image on a display.

    摘要: A method for visual inertial odometry (VIO)-aided global positioning is described. The method includes updating an extended Kalman filter (EKF) state including a current pose and a sliding window of multiple prior poses. The sliding window includes poses at a number of most recent global positioning system (GPS) time epochs. Updating the EKF includes updating an EKF covariance matrix for the prior poses and the current pose in the EKF state. The method also includes determining, at a GPS epoch, a relative displacement between each of the updated prior poses and the current pose. The method further includes determining an error covariance of each of the relative displacements based on cross-covariances between each of the updated prior poses and the current pose in the EKF covariance matrix. The method additionally includes using the relative displacements and the error covariances to fuse pseudorange measurements taken over multiple epochs.
