AbstractAccurate and reliable airdata systems are critical for aircraft flight control system. In this paper, both extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) based various multi sensor data fusion methods are applied to dynamic manoeuvres with rapid variations in the aircraft motion to calibrate the angle-of-attack (AOA) and angle-of-sideslip (AOSS) and are compared. The main goal of the investigations reported is to obtain online accurate flow angles from the measured vane deflection and differential pressures from probes sensitive to flow angles even in the adverse effect of wind or turbulence. The proposed algorithms are applied to both simulated as well as flight test data. Investigations are initially made using simulated flight data that include external winds and turbulence effects. When performance of the sensor fusion methods based on both EKF and UKF are compared, UKF is found to be better. The same procedures are then applied to flight test data of a high performance fighter aircraft. The results are verified with results obtained using proven an offline method, namely, output error method (OEM) for flight-path reconstruction (FPR) using ESTIMA software package. The consistently good results obtained using sensor data fusion approaches proposed in this paper establish that these approaches are of great value for online implementations.

Multi Sensor Data Fusion

In order to resolve the problem of seam tracking of the welding robots with unknown noise characteristics, a Weighted Multi-Sensor Data Fusion (MSDF) algorithm based on the fuzzy Kalman filter algorithm is proposed. Firstly, each Fuzzy Kalman Filter (FKF) uses a fuzzy inference system based on a covariance matching technique to adjust the weight coefficient of measurement noise covariance matrix, so it makes measurement noise close to the true noise level. Secondly, a membership function in fuzzy set is used to measure the mutual support degree matrix of each FKF and corresponding weight coefficients are allocated by this matrix’s maximum modulus eigenvectors, hence, the final expression of data fusion is obtained. Finally, simulation results show that MSDF in seam tracking has both high precision and strong ability of stableness.
