priseborough 58d58b4eac AP_NavEKF3: Initialise EKF origin height to field elevation
Enables copters to set bit position 2 in the EK3_OGN_HGT_MASK parameter without having a large jump in reported local position height.

priseborough 0827b13feb AP_NavEKF3: Fix default behaviour for height origin corrections
Previous default was to apply in-flight height origin changes to local position instead of to reported origin height. This caused problems with copters that took off before getting GPS lock.

priseborough 7659e9c31f AP_NavEKF3: Improve checking of time delay validity when setting buffers
This change means that provided the GPS_DELAY_MS parameters are set for each GPS receiver attached, the EKF will not have to wait for the configuration of each receiver to be determined before it can start.
This significantly reduces start-up times when the delay parameters are set.

priseborough 3ae7998f51 AP_NavEKF3: Allow reporting of origin height for specified instance 2017-06-14 12:44:41 +01:00
priseborough e58ba8044d AP_NavEKF3: Improve protection for badly conditioned dVel bias covariances
If variance falls below desired minimum, set state noise to a larger value.
If variance drops below safe value, set to desired minimum and reset off-diagonals to zero.

priseborough bf963f8b65 AP_NavEKF3: Raise lower limit on del vel bias state variances
This is required to prevent co-variance matrix errors due to long periods without movement causing height divergence.

priseborough 628d140319 AP_NavEKF3: Make target covariance time step larger
The target covariance time step has been increased from 10 to 12 msec to improve conditioning of the covariance prediction calculation.

priseborough 2b97d0f5c9 AP_NavEKF3: Add public accessor for state variances 2017-06-14 12:44:41 +01:00
priseborough 9f97cbfc3b AP_NavEKF3: Revert auto-code to original form and remove micro optimisations
To eliminate the possibility of editing errors, revert the covariance prediction auto-code to the original auto-code without the replacement fo the /2 and /4 operations. The compiler optimisations are able to correctly handle the /2 and /4 operations.

Also use local variables for intermediate covariance calculations. The use of class variables for these small arrays was unnecessary.

priseborough 7adaea6019 AP_NavEKF3: Improve partitioning and efficiency of the covariance prediction
This patch ensures that covariance matrix entries for inactive states are always set to zero.
It also halves the number of copy operations from the updated to stored matrix.

priseborough a1c117360c AP_NavEKF3: Ensure Kalman gain calculatons respect deactivated states
All Kalman gain calculations now explicity set gains for deactivated states to zero.
Previous use of loops to set gains to zero have been replaced with more efficient memset operations.

priseborough 5058405f8c AP_NavEKF3: add gyro bias state inhibit and rework index limit calculation
Inhibiting gyro bias estimation during the initial tilt alignment speeds alignment.
The calculation of the maxmum state index required has been modified so that it can handle all combinations of inhibited states.
Limiting the maximum state index accessed by all EKF operations result in significant processing reductions when higher index states are not being used.

Andrew Tridgell a04aff7a7d AP_NavEKF3: added inter-EKF scheduling cooperation
this changes the stragegy for load levelling between EKF cores so it
works between EK2 and EK3, and with future estimators as well.

It allows us to run EK3 and EK2 at the same time with good scheduling
performance
