Abstract
The primary objective of this work is to solve the problem that the long baseline (LBL) positioning system has poor real-time positioning results during the navigation for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). In this paper, it is proposed to use the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) to enhance the navigation and positioning accuracy of the AUV, using the speed information measured by the Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) and the ranging information obtained by the acoustic beacons. Utilizing the unscented transformation to perform integrated navigation, it can avoid linearization truncation errors and Jacobi matrix computation compared with extended Kalman filtering (EKF). The experimental results verify that in the multi-beacon aided AUV integrated navigation system, compared with the conventional LBL and EKF, UKF provides more stable and accurate position information in real time.
