Background
The magnetic method measurement is widely applied to metal mineral exploration and oil exploration, and the instruments commonly used in the magnetic method measurement at present mainly comprise an optical pump magnetometer, a proton precession magnetometer and an optical pump magnetometer, wherein the Overhauser proton magnetometer and the optical pump magnetometer are widely applied to aviation magnetic measurement due to higher resolution and measurement precision, are mostly used in the magnetic method measurement of a manned machine and a fixed wing unmanned machine, and are suitable for large-area and long-time operation.
The unmanned aerial vehicle aeromagnetic measurement has the characteristics of convenience in deployment, low application cost, intellectualization, high efficiency, high precision and the like, and becomes an important means of an aerogeophysical prospecting measurement technology at present. In the unmanned aerial vehicle aeromagnetic measurement system, a small and medium-sized fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle is mostly utilized to carry magnetic measurement instruments for data acquisition, the small and medium-sized fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle can launch and take off and land in a parachuting and net hitting mode, and the taking-off and landing difficulty is effectively reduced. However, the fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle is high in cruising speed, large in sampling interval, low in data resolution, large in flying height and not suitable for flying in areas with small range, complex terrain and large fluctuation. The multi-rotor unmanned helicopter can take off and land at fixed points, has no requirement on a take-off and landing site, can fly close to the ground, or can fly in a terrain matching manner at a fixed ground clearance, and the cruising speed of the multi-rotor unmanned helicopter can be reasonably adjusted in a maximum speed range according to the requirement of data resolution to obtain ideal magnetic measurement data, and can also fly fully or semi-autonomously, and the set waypoint plan can be temporarily changed according to the task requirement in the flying process.
According to the characteristics of the unmanned helicopter with multiple rotors, the optical pump magnetometer is selected as a carrying instrument, the optical pump magnetometer is light in weight, low in power consumption, low in power requirement, and low in sampling rate, and the problem that the flying speed of the unmanned helicopter is properly reduced can be solved through the relatively low sampling rate. Therefore, the multi-rotor unmanned helicopter carrying the optical pump magnetometer is very suitable for small-range and low-altitude aeromagnetic measurement, and plays an important role in practical problems such as detailed mining area investigation, archaeology, finding of shallow-buried non-explosive substances and the like.
The hot spot of present aviation magnetism method measurement utilizes middle-size and small-size fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle to carry on magnetism survey instrument and carries out data acquisition, and middle-size and small-size fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle can launch and take off and land and descend through parachuting and the mode of hitting the net, has effectively reduced the take off and land the degree of difficulty. In 2013, based on the development prospect of the aeromagnetic measurement technology of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the geophysical geochemistry investigation institute of the Chinese geological academy of sciences breaks through key technical problems of unmanned aerial vehicle system integration, magnetic compensation and the like, successfully loads the aeromagnetic instrument on a CH-3 unmanned aerial vehicle platform, and integrates the first domestic medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicle aeromagnetic measurement system in China. And various types of geological survey application demonstration work are carried out in different terrain areas such as Heilongjiang Duobao mountain, Xinjiang Clay, Kashi, mudflat and the like, and good geological effects are obtained (Liarmy peak and the like, 2014; Lifei and the like, 2018; West Yongying and the like, 2021).
The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle carries the magnetic sensor to carry out aeromagnetic observation, has obvious technical progress along with the miniaturization and endurance optimization of the unmanned aerial vehicle, is suitable for the aeromagnetic detailed investigation work of medium and small areas and large scale, and can be used as the supplement of large-scale aeromagnetic measurement and ground magnetic method measurement. University of studyware utilizes rotor unmanned aerial vehicle to carry on triaxial optical pump sensor, designs a simple operation, portable aeromagnetic measurement system of equipment, and flight measurement test in canyon, gully etc. proves that this system has the ability of carrying out large scale aeromagnetic measurement (li shipeng etc., 2018). The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle aeromagnetic measurement platform (MAG-DN20G4) is independently developed by science and technology in Zhejiang in the year, and the actual application effect reaches the domestic leading level. This measuring platform includes rotor unmanned aerial vehicle flight platform, triaxial optical pump measuring apparatu, and millimeter wave radar altimeter triplex (qiao zhongkun etc. 2020). The Beijing orange light company completes the research and development and integration of UFO series aviation magnetic measurement systems, is mainly applied to unmanned platforms in the environments of low altitude, ocean, land and the like, and comprises three types (referring to orange light exploration official websites) of UFO-F optical pump systems, UFO-CS cesium optical pump systems and UFO-CS + rubidium optical pump systems. Gantai corporation uses the M600Pro six-rotor unmanned plane in Xinjiang as a carrying platform, integrates a rubidium optical pump magnetometer and a laser altimeter, and develops a GTK-RM600 multi-rotor unmanned plane optical pump aeromagnetic system (refer to official website of the Gantai corporation).
At present, the aeromagnetic measurement system which is relatively mature in application mainly comprises a fixed-wing aeromagnetic measurement system and a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle aeromagnetic measurement system, and in the last five years, for developing large-scale aeromagnetic measurement, the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is more applied to aeromagnetic system integration as a carrying platform. Through continuous tests and improvements, aeromagnetic measurement has obvious development and progress, but still has some defects, which are mainly reflected in the following points:
(1) fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle ease of use is not high
Many rotors relatively, fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle take off and descend and have certain place and facility requirement, and the ease of use and the simple operation nature under the complicated topography condition are not enough. In addition, unmanned aerial vehicle generally needs the flight hand manual control at the stage of taking off and landing, has the risk when ground condition is not good. The multi-rotor unmanned helicopter can realize fixed-point takeoff and landing, has no requirement on a takeoff and landing site, effectively improves the usability of the measuring system, and reduces the risk of field operation.
(2) Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle is not suitable for carrying out large-scale aeromagnetic measurement
Because fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle cruise speed is very fast, and the sampling interval is big, and data resolution is lower, and flying height is great simultaneously, is not fit for flying in the region that the scope is less, the topography is complicated, undulates great.
(3) Insufficient positioning precision of aeromagnetic measurement
Currently, a positioning system carried by a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle for aeromagnetic measurement is mostly a combination of a GPS and a gyro inertial navigation, the vertical and horizontal positioning precision is about +/-1 m, and the precision requirement of large-scale high-precision magnetic measurement is not met. In the high-precision ground magnetic measurement operation, a real-time dynamic positioning technology based on a carrier phase observation value is generally adopted, and the positioning precision can reach centimeter level. And at present, the field of application of unmanned aerial vehicle plant protection gradually uses an RTK positioning technology, so that the positioning precision is effectively improved, and the flight error is reduced.
(4) 3D flight measurements have not yet been achieved
The unmanned aerial vehicle aeromagnetic system does not realize the fluctuation flight along with the terrain in the practical application, the magnetic measurement data obtained by measurement needs terrain correction, the calculation process is increased, and random errors are easily introduced, so that the precision of the measurement result is reduced and the geological interpretation deviation is caused.
(5) The aeromagnetic compensation scheme needs to be optimized
Most of the common unmanned aerial vehicle aeromagnetic compensation methods are soft compensation, namely Tolles-Lawson equation and adaptive algorithm are applied to carry out compensation calculation on flight observation data, so that the influence of a magnetic interference field is reduced. However, soft compensation is established on the basis of the electromagnetic field modeling and algorithm of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and certain artificial interference and random errors exist, so that the compensation precision is influenced. With soft compensation combination hard compensation, adopt magnetism isolating material to seal the great module of unmanned aerial vehicle self electromagnetic induction intensity promptly, can gain better aeromagnetic compensation effect.
