UUV Trajectory Prediction Based on GRU Neural Network

Aiming at the problems of large simplification and low accuracy of traditional trajectory prediction models, combined with the characteristics of time sequence, continuity, and interactivity of UUV trajectories, an unknown UUV trajectory prediction method based on a gated unit recursive (GRU) neural network model is proposed. The MinMaxScaler method is used to normalize the trajectory data; in order to improve the prediction accuracy, the adaptive parameter adjustment algorithm and adam algorithm are used to optimize the network structure of the established GRU-based trajectory prediction model, without human intervention for parameter adjustment. Finally, the trajectory prediction accuracy of GRU trajectory prediction model and BP trajectory prediction model are analyzed through simulation experiments. The experimental results show that the root mean square error is about 3.96m on the x-axis and 1.00m on the y-axis. The trajectory prediction model based on GRU has faster prediction speed and higher prediction accuracy for unknown UUV trajectory after bearings-only detection.
