PROJETO E IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE FILTRO DE KALMAN EMBARCADO EM FPGA PARA O RASTREIO DE FOGUETES BALÍSTICOS

Neste trabalho faz-se uma abordagem acerca do fiiltro de Kalman no que tange a sua concep-ção, modelamento matemático, algoritmo de fiiltragem e implementação em FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). Faz-se também um breve estudo sobre o dispositivo lógico programável (PLD) do tipo FPGA, sua arquitetura e suas aplicações. Após o estudo acerca do fiiltro de Kalman e sobre FPGA pas-sa-se para a etapa de embarcar o fiiltro em hardware do tipo FPGA explorando as suas características de processamento paralelo. A etapa fiinal é a validação do fiiltro executando o algoritmo de fiiltragem em FPGA usando dados reais de lançamento de foguetes balísticos. Os dados foram fornecidos pelo Centro de Lançamento de Alcântara (CLA). A principal contribuição deste trabalho é a implementação de uma arquitetura FPGA reconfigurável, garantindo uma plataforma rápida o suficiente para radares com alta precisão e boa capacidade de rastreamento de foguetes.Palavras-chave: Filtro de Kalman.

A unified vision and inertial navigation system for planetary hoppers

Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2012.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 139-146).In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to hopping as a novel mode of planetary exploration. Hopping vehicles provide advantages over traditional surface exploration vehicles, such as wheeled rovers, by enabling in-situ measurements in otherwise inaccessible terrain. However, significant development over previously demonstrated vehicle navigation technologies is required to overcome the inherent challenges involved in navigating a hopping vehicle, especially in adverse terrain. While hoppers are in many ways similar to traditional landers and surface explorers, they incorporate additional, unique motions that must be accounted for beyond those of conventional planetary landing and surface navigation systems. This thesis describes a unified vision and inertial navigation system for propulsive planetary hoppers and provides demonstration of this technology. An architecture for a navigation system specific to the motions and mission profiles of hoppers is presented, incorporating unified inertial and terrain-relative navigation solutions. A modular sensor testbed, including a stereo vision package and inertial measurement unit, was developed to act as a proof-of-concept for this navigation system architecture. The system is shown to be capable of real-time output of an accurate navigation state estimate for motions and trajectories similar to those of planetary hoppers.by Theodore J. Steiner, III.S.M
