priseborough 5bd4ee9715 AP_NavEKF: Use compensation for baro delay in position hold mode 2014-12-31 13:13:58 +09:00
priseborough 4dc1ee2d66 AP_NavEKF: Rename static mode to avoid confusion with other non-GPS modes 
This renames static mode as posHoldMode to make it clearer what this and the other non-GPS modes do

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.

priseborough a42100e4c5 AP_NavEKF: Improved handling of no GPS 
This patch enables indoor operation of the EKF by putting it into static mode if optical flow operation is not enabled and no GPS is available

priseborough bf89c56e54 AP_NavEKF: Fix comments error in description of flow sensor sign conventions 2014-12-31 13:13:35 +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 78b30e4ce5 AP_NavEKF: Increase rate at which GPS glitch offsets are reduced for planes 2014-12-31 13:13:29 +09:00
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

priseborough 13df6fb1c9 AP_NavEKF : Reduce ripple in estimates that can cause copter motor 'pulsing' 
This patch reduces the level of 5Hz and 10Hz 'pulsing' heard in motors due to GPS and altimeter fusion which cause a small 5Hz and 10Hz ripple on the output under some conditions. Attitude, velocity and position state corrections from GPS, altimeter and magnetometer measurements are applied incrementally in the interval from receiving the measurement to the predicted time of receipt of the next measurement. Averaging of attitude state corrections is not performed during periods of rapid rotation.

Time stamps are now explicitly initialised to the current IMU time to avoid unwanted activation of timeout logic on filter start and the various calls to the hal.scheduler->millis() object have been consolidated.

Unused variables have been removed

priseborough dcb252cc05 AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in reset of position and velocity states 
If the inertial solution velocity or position needs to be reset to the GPS, the stored state history for the corresponding states should also be reset.
Otherwise the next GPS measurement will be compared to an invalid previous state and will be rejected.
The position state should be reset to a GPS position corrected for velocity and measurement latency. This will make a noticeable difference for high speed flight vehicles, eg 11m at 50m/s

priseborough 874d0780aa AP_NavEKF: Reduce vulnerability to ground fixed magnetic interference 
Re-initialisation of the magnetic field states and yaw angle is now only performed a maximum of two times after start-up.

Once when coming out of static modefor the first time (first arm event)
Again (for copter only) when the altitude gain above the arming altitude exceeds 1.5m

this prevents magnetic interference present at arming (eg arming on a metal roof)from corrupting the magnetic field states enough to cause bad heading errors and toilet bowling on copter

priseborough 5359da9c68 AP_NavEKF : Improved Magnetometer Error Handling 
(Plane Only) If the yaw and GPS heading disagree by more than 45 degrees on takeoff, then the magnetometer is declared as failed. The heading is then reset based on the difference between GPS ground track and stgate velocity vector.
Magnetometer fusion uses corrected data and bias states are initialised to zero. This allows the compass to be switched in flight.
For persistent compass errors that trigger a timeout, the compass is not permanently failed, however for non-forward fly vehicles the compass weighting is reduced.

priseborough f99f5759f5 AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in GPS innovation variance growth calculation 
The uncertainty in acceleration is currently only scaled using horizontal accelerations, however during vertical plane aerobatics and high g pullups, misalignment in angles can cause significant horizontal acceleration error.
The scaling now uses the 3D acceleration vector length to better work during vertical plane high g maneouvres.
This error was found during flight testing with 8g pullups

priseborough f0ee11e951 AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in reset of position, height and velocity states 
If the inertial solution velocity or position needs to be reset to the GPS or baro, the stored state history for the corresponding states should also be reset.
Otherwise the next GPS or baro measurement will be compared to an invalid previous state and will be rejected. This is particularly a problem if IMU saturation or timeout has occurred because the previous states could be out by a large amount
The position state should be reset to a GPS position corrected for velocity and measurement latency. This will make a noticeable difference for high speed flight vehicles, eg 11m at 50m/s.

priseborough f71aeea61d AP_NavEKF : Reduce sensitivity on filter divergence check 
Flying aerobatics with Trad Heli has shown that the divergence check can be false triggered when large magnetometer errors and GPS dropouts are present.
This can also happen with multi rotors if large yaw rates are present.
This was an unintended consequence of the ekfsmoothing patch which improved filter stability during high rate manoeuvres, but made the divergence test more sensitive.

priseborough 925c5751bd AP_NavEKF: Add ability to inhibit in-flight mag cal and clean up moding 
This will enable in-flight magnetometer calibration to be inhibited unconditionally,
This is required for long balloon carriage flights where ground speed can be high
enough to put it into in-air state, but with very poor observability of magnetic field
states causing bad state estimates and heading offsets to develop over time.

The covariance matrix no longer has rows and columns artificially zeroed when in static
mode. Instead booleans indicating whether wind or magentic field state estimation is
active are used to:

a) Set the process noise on these states to zero to stop their variances from increasing
unchecked when not being updated, and
b) Turn off updates for these states when measurement fusion is being performed.

This reduces the likelihood of a badly conditioned covariance matrix forming
during static mode operation.

A filter divergence check has also been added that will declare the filter unhealthy if
position, velocity and magnetic field observations are all failing their innovation
consistency checks. This unhealthy status will persist for 10 seconds after the
condition clears.

priseborough d745dc2b6f AP_NavEKF : Increased position gate default to reduce impact of accel errors 
Flight testing with windup turns has shown that the position gate threshold
can be tripped with good GPS data causing position jerks. This increases the

default POSNE_NOISE value of 0.5m.

priseborough 188bea6bab AP_NavEKF : Enable calc of wind velocity when not using airspeed sensing 
This patch also cleans up the logic associated with use of the synthetic
sideslip measurement so that it can never be used for a non fly-forward
vehicle type

This patch adds functionality that initialises the wind-speed vector to the
reciprocal of the ground speed vector, and scaled to 6 m/s. On average this gives
a better initial wind velocity estimate on launch by assuming:

a) launch will be into wind
b) wind speed is equal to global average

It also helps prevent a headwind causing initial underestimation of airspeed
causing high autopilot gains and limit cycles on climb-out, until first
turn when the EKF is able to estimate the wind.

Aliasing can causes the bias estimate to fluctuate very rapidly as it tries

priseborough 04036d7777 AP_NavEKF : Updated GPS glitch protection logic 
This adds new functionality to the detection and compensation of GPS
glitches:

1) A maximum allowable innovation is calculated using the GPS noise
parameter multiplied by the gate, with an additional component allowing
for growth in position uncertainty due to acceleration error since
the last valid measurement
2) Includes per vehicle type values for the acceleration error limit
3) If the innovation length exceeds the maximum allowable, no fusion occurs
4) If no fusion has occurred for long enough such that the position uncertainty
exceeds the maximum set by a per vehicle parameter or a maximum time, an offset
is applied to the GPS data to so that it matches the value predicted by the filter
5) The offset is never allowed to be bigger than 100m
6) The offset is decayed to zero at a rate of 1.0 m/s to allow GPS jumps to
be accommodated gradually
7) The default velocity innovation gate has been tightened up for copter and rover
8) The variance data logging output has been updated to make it more useful
