Paul Riseborough 8dc6354a54 AP_NavEKF: Prevent touchdown baro errors tripping height innovation check 
Ground effect baro errors can cause a spike in height innovation on disarming if ground effect compensation was used during the landing. This causes a transient AHRS fault message if this innovation is outside the pre-arm check limits.
Resetting the vertical position state to the measured height after disarming prevents this.

Paul Riseborough c2e6fdb56c AP_NavEKF: Reduce effect of noisy baro data on baro height offset estimate 
This estimate is used to offset baro data if we need to switch across from range finder data due to sensor failure. The previous filter coefficients gave a 0.5 seconds time constant on the offset which was too susceptible to baro noise.

Paul Riseborough 10f050c53b AP_NavEKF: Prevent baro drift causing toilet bowling 
The magnetic field states are reset once at 1.5 metres and again at 5 metres. This height check was using the height at the first arm event as the reference. In the situation where there is baro drift and extgended time between the first arm event and flight, this can cause the magnetic field state to be reset when on the ground. If this happens when flying off a metallic surface, the resultant heading errors can cause sever toilet bowling.

Paul Riseborough 496d31ab83 AP_NavEKF: Reduce max time Copters can reject GPS 
The maximum time copters can reject GPS has been reduced from 10 to 7 seconds as flight logs have show that inertial dead reckoning with vibration and calibration errors is not good enough to support 10 seconds without aiding.

Paul Riseborough 19d1b3b813 AP_NavEKF: Update EKF origin height whilst disarmed 
This patch causes the EKF to update the height of its origin each time it receives a valid GPs message whislt disarmed.
The resultant EKF origin height represents the height of the zero baro alt datum relative to the GPS height datum.
 2015-04-03 15:15:08 -07:00
Paul Riseborough 70afcd7e70 AP_NavEKF: Add second stage alignment of yaw and earth field states 
Flight tests have shown that the magnetic field distortion associated with flight from steel structures can extend 3m or higher. To counteract this, a second and final yaw and magnetic field alignment has been added which is activated when the height exceeds 5m for the first time.
 2015-04-03 15:15:08 -07:00
Paul Riseborough ed9c05cf2a AP_NavEKF: Remove logic used to delay fusion for load levelling 
Logic used to delay optical flow and airspeed fusion to prevent it occurring on the same time step as magnetometer fusion has been removed. This is no longer required to efficiency improvements made at the firmware level.
 2015-04-03 15:15:07 -07:00
Paul Riseborough c0d23ffc30 AP_NavEKF: Filter accuracy and stability improvements 
Improvements in PX4 firmware have reduced the computational load  and mkae the previous practicwe of splitting magnetometer and optical flow fusion across multiple time steps unnecessary and make it possible to perform a covariance prediction prior to fusing data on the same time step. This patch:

1) Ensures that a covariance prediction is always performed prior to fusion of any observation
2) Removes the splitting of magnetometer fusion so that fusion of the X,Y and Z components occurs on the same time time step
3) Removes the splitting of optical flow fusion so that fusion of X and Y components occurs on the same time step

priseborough 9a797a5d49 AP_NavEKF: Use GPS reported speed accuracy if available 
UBlox receivers report an estimate of the speed accuracy that tests show correlates well to speed glitches. Using this to scale the GPS velocity observation noise will reduce the effect of bad GPS velocity data.

Paul Riseborough aa94ff629d AP_NavEKF: Prevent bad GPS pre-arming casuing initial position errors 
If the vehicle moves significantly or the GPS changes position significantly pre-armed, then the GPS glitch logic was being invoked when the first GPs measurements were fused. This patch resets the position to the GPS when the vehicle arms.
 2015-02-03 15:57:10 +09:00
priseborough bc5581d634 AP_NavEKF: Prevent arming delays from failing GPS 
Due to the way that gyro calibration is done, the EKF could be effectively not run for up to 30 seconds in extreme cases, making it possible that the GPS would be failed on arming and the copter put into a non-GPS mode.

the longer term solution is to update the gyro calibration so that it does not hold up other processing. the short tyermfix in thsi patch is to look for evidence of a 3D lock in the last received GPS message.
 2015-02-03 15:57:09 +09:00
priseborough 2c012c2763 AP_NavEKF: Always check for new GPS data 
This fixes a bug that meant that once the EKF had started up in a non-GPS mode, it would no longer read the GPS and therefore would never be able to use GPS again until reset.
