Research on Attitude Measurement Method of Special Aircraft Using Geomagnetic Sensor/Gyroscope Based on UKF

Based on the output information of the three-axis geomagnetic sensor and three-axis gyroscope, a mathematical model for measuring the flight attitude information of special aircraft is established, and the flight attitude of the special aircraft is calculated in real time. To improve the accuracy of calculating the flight attitude of the special aircraft, the model of the pitch and yaw angles based on the Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is established by using the output expression of the gyroscope and geomagnetic sensor x-axis, and then the pitch angle and yaw angle obtained by filtering are brought into the geomagnetic sensor to calculate the roll angle of special aircraft in real time. The simulation results show that compared with the direct calculation of the special aircraft flight attitude angle, the combination of a geomagnetic sensor and gyroscope is more accurate after UKF processing, which verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of the attitude calculation method, and improves the accuracy of flight attitude measurement for special aircraft.
