A Method for Real-Time Estimating Pose of Large Aircraft Component in Process of Pose Adjustment Based on the Unscented Kalman Filter

Article Preview

Abstract:

To estimate the pose of large aircraft component in pose adjustment quickly and accurately, a real-time estimation method based on Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is proposed. Firstly, in the process of the aircraft component adjustment, a rough value of aircraft component’s pose is acquired by using forward kinematic model and the displacement of positioners on real time. Then, position of a measuring point fixed on aircraft component is obtained by a laser tracker. At last, UKF is employed to integrate the previous rough value and the measuring point position for evaluating the accurate pose of aircraft component. Numerical simulation results show that the presented method is achieved easily, calculated fast and high accurate.
