  • Patent number: 11662500
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a submarine position detection method based on extreme points of gravity gradients. A space rectangular coordinate system is established by taking a centroid of the middle cylindrical portion as a coordinate origin, a direction pointing to a bow is taken as a forward direction of the X axis, a direction pointing to a port is taken as a forward direction of the Y direction, and a vertical upward direction is taken as a forward direction of the Z axis. The detection method includes steps of: determining a horizontal position of a submarine, i.e., coordinates (X, Y), according to a position of a central extreme point and a central position between extreme points of non-diagonal components of a gradient tensor; and determining a functional relation between a depth and the extreme points of gravity gradients by using the submarine model.
