This paper studies the measurement of motion parameters of a parachute scanning platform. The movement of a parachute scanning platform has fast rotational velocity and a complex attitude. Therefore, traditional measurement methods cannot measure the motion parameters accurately, and thus fail to satisfy the requirements for the measurement of parachute scanning platform motion parameters. In order to solve these problems, a method for measuring the motion parameters of a parachute scanning platform based on a combination of magnetic and inertial sensors is proposed in this paper. First, scanning motion characteristics of a parachute-terminal-sensitive projectile are analyzed. Next, a high-precision parachute scanning platform attitude measurement device is designed to obtain the data of magnetic and inertial sensors. Then the extended Kalman filter is used to filter and observe errors. The scanning angle, the scanning angle velocity, the falling velocity, and the 2D scanning attitude are obtained. Finally, the accuracy and feasibility of the algorithm are analyzed and validated by MATLAB simulation, semi-physical simulation, and airdrop experiments. The presented research results can provide helpful references for the design and analysis of parachute scanning platforms, which can reduce development time and cost.
