A new dual-rate-loop control method enhances the stabilization accuracy of three-axis Inertial Stabilization Platforms (ISPs) for aerial remote sensing. This approach improves disturbance rejection and control precision using an angular acceleration-based disturbance observer.
Area of Science:
- Aerospace Engineering
- Control Systems Engineering
- Robotics
Background:
- Aerial remote sensing requires highly stable platforms for clear imagery.
- Inertial Stabilization Platforms (ISPs) are crucial for maintaining stability.
- Existing control methods face challenges in rejecting external disturbances effectively.
Purpose of the Study:
- To improve the control accuracy and stabilization performance of a three-axis ISP.
- To enhance disturbance rejection capabilities for aerial remote sensing applications.
- To introduce a novel control strategy utilizing a disturbance observer.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a dual-rate-loop control strategy with inner and outer rate loops.
- Design of a disturbance observer (DOB) based on angular acceleration.
- Utilization of an information fusion method for accurate angular acceleration estimation.
Main Results:
- Significant improvement in ISP control accuracy and stabilization.
- Advanced disturbance rejection capability through the dual-rate-loop strategy.
