Randy Mackay aeecc46f7b AC_PosControl: remove unnecessary set of desired_accel 
The desired_accel is set again 11 lines lower so this line did nothing.

priseborough c40c3632bb AP_NavEKF: Critical Bug Fix 
Prevents possible loss of attitude reference for flights without optical flow and GPS.

The optical flow measurement timeout can reset the velocity states which decouples the position states from IMU errors and therefore significantly reduces the amount of attitude error correction.

priseborough 3d46680348 AP_NavEKF: Make NED origin independent of home position 
This enables the filter to report the last known position after disarm.
The LLH location of the filters NED origin is published and should be logged every time the vehicle is armed to assist with post-flight trajectory reconstruction.
The LLH location of the filters NED origin can be set externally whilst the vehicle is disarmed.

priseborough 8d1dae3ac1 AP_NavEKF: Improve optical flow terrain height estimation 
The two state auxiliary EKF has been replaced with a single state filter that only estimates terrain offset. The new filter fuses a optical flow line of sight rate scalar (length of the optical flow LOS rate vector) which provides a terrain offset estimate that is less affected by yaw errors.
Estimation of focal length scale factor error in flight wasn't accurate enough and will be replaced with a pre-flight intrinsic sensor calibration procedure as the scale factor error does not change over time provided the lens assembly is not adjusted.

this will be used in plane to make AHRS SYS_STATUS unhealthy if a user
tries to fly with EKF enabled without a full 3D accel cal.

Note that it doesn't rely on using AP_Param load() to detect that a
value has been set, as some users are first doing a 3D cal then later
doing a 1D cal. In that case load() was returning true and would give
a false positive

priseborough c06f6e105e AP_NavEKF: Consistent initialisation of tuning parameters and variables 
Non user adjustable parameters are now declared as 'const' in the header.
The _ prefix has been removed from non user adjustable tuning parameters.
We use a function call rather than a constructor to initialise variables because it enables the filter to be re-started in flight if necessary.
For consistency some signed integer type declarations have been changed to unsigned where appropriate.

Because synthetic  position measurements at 0,0 are fused during position hold mode, a position timeout cannot be used as the only means of detecting position solution status.

priseborough b160f4c03b AP_NavEKF: Compensate optical flow fusion for GPS glitch recovery offset 2014-12-31 13:13:52 +09:00
priseborough e4c969084d AP_NavEKF: Improve behaviour recovering from a GPS timeout 
When regaining GPS after a timeout, an offset is applied when fusing  GPS velocity so that GPS velocity and position data as fused by the EKF is kinematically consistent.
This velocity offset is also accounted for when fusing air data so that wind estimates are not corrupted when the GPS position offset is being pulle back to zero.
The intended behaviour is that the EKF position will be pulled back to the GPS position at a rate of 5m/s for planes and 1 m/s for copters. This avoids large deviations in trajectory when GPS is regained.

priseborough a16253796f AP_NavEKF: Fix bug preventing the non-GPS mode being selected externally 
When on the ground it is likely the flow sensor will be returning  data that does not meet the minimum quality requirements selected.
The previous check was for the presence of valid data. This has been loosened to look for the presence of data.
When the vehicle becomes airborne, the quality of flow data normally improves as the image comes into focus.

This message is a bitmasked integer that will be used by control software to determine what data is available from the EKF and decide what control modes are available.
Duplicate static mode message removed. Static mode is now contained in the bitmasked solution status message
 2014-12-31 13:13:33 +09:00
priseborough 4eb19c2324 AP_NavEKF: Rationalise health status reporting 
1) Un-used public methods to report height and position drifting have been removed
2) A time-out has been added to the airspeed innovation consistency check so that if we are relying on airspeed to constrain velocity drift, a filter divergence or other fault that causes the airspeed to be continually rejected will trigger a change in health status.
3) A timeout of velocity, position or height measurements does not cause a filter fault to be reported. Timeouts can be due to sensor errors and do not necessarily indicate that the filter has failed.
4) Time-outs of various measurements are used to present a consolidated bitmask which inidicates which parts of the solution can be used, eg attitude, height, velocity, relative position, absolute position, etc.

priseborough f2c506339a AP_NavEKF: Reduce time required to recover from GPS timeouts 
The time required for GPS to be lost or rejected before vehicles with airspeed sensors either reset to GPS or invoke the zero side-slip assumption to constrain drift has been reduced from 15 to 10 seconds
A duplicate zeroing of the GPS position offset has been removed
If the vehicle is a non hovering vehicle (eg a plane) then the speed at which the GPS offset is pulled back to zero after a reset is increased from 1 to 3  m/s

This also improves recovery from bad inertial data for planes
