Abstract This work focuses on the feasibility of a fully autonomous geo-localization system for near-earth applications based on the strap-down inertial navigation system (SINS) and the star tracker. First, each sensor is analyzed individually. Then, the performance of the integrated system in a dynamic situation is investigated. Moreover, a detailed angle error analysis is given to estimate the impact on geo-localization. The navigation solution is proven to be affected by the sensors' errors plus an algorithmic error from the dead reckoning computation. Lastly, simulations are concluded to assess the dynamic movement scenario's performance and navigational possibility using the nonlinear Kalman filter. The results show the continuing divergence of the integrated navigation system affected by the dead reckoning algorithm. However, the continuous initial alignment in static mode reinitializes the position error successfully.

The Difference

Strap-down INS is composed of fiber gyroscope. Position error propagation equation and position update algorithm of dead reckoning is deduced in this paper. The Kalman filter is proposed for compensation error of integrated system. The difference of velocity between INS and DR is used as the input of Kalman filter, attitude error, velocity error, position error and scale factor error are to be estimated which compensate and rectify the errors of integrated navigation system. By carrying out experiment upon vehicular navigation system in use of Kalman filter, the errors of integrated navigation system are estimated accurately. Experiment result show that the method not only can effectively improve precision of the system, but also is simple and convenient, so it is more suitable for practical application.

Autonomous and accurate acquisition of the position and azimuth of the vehicle is critical to the combat effectiveness of land-fighting vehicles. The integrated navigation system, consisting of a strap-down inertial navigation system (SINS) and odometer (OD), is commonly applied in vehicles. In the SINS/OD integrated system, the odometer is installed around the vehicle’s wheel, while SINS is usually installed on the base of the vehicle. The distance along SINS and OD would cause a velocity difference when the vehicle maneuvers, which may lead to a significant influence on the integration positioning accuracy. Furthermore, SINS navigation errors, especially azimuth error, would diverge over time due to gyro drifts and accelerometer biases. The azimuth error would cause the divergence of dead-reckoning positioning errors with the distance that the vehicle drives. To solve these problems, an integrated positioning and orientation method based on the configuration of SINS and couple odometers was proposed in this paper. The proposed method designed a high precision integrated navigation algorithm, which compensated the lever arm effect to eliminate the velocity difference between SINS and odometers. At the same time, by using the measured information of couple odometers, azimuth reference was calculated and used as an external measurement to suppress SINS azimuth error’s divergence over time, thus could further improve the navigation precision of the integrated system, especially the orientation accuracy. The performance of the proposed method was verified by simulations. The results demonstrated that SINS/2ODs integrated system could achieve a positioning accuracy of 0.01% D (total mileage) and orientation accuracy of ±30″ by using SINS with 0.01°/h Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOGs) and 50 µg accelerometers.

Short Period

Nowadays, autonomous robots are capable of replacing people with hard work or in dangerous environments, so this field is rapidly developing. One of the most important tasks in controlling these robots is to determine its current position. The Global Positioning System (GPS) was originally developed for military purposes but is now widely used for civilian purposes such as mapping, navigation for land vehicles, marine, etc. However, GPS has some disadvantages, like the update rate is low or sometimes the satellites’ signal is suspended. Another navigation system is the Inertial Navigation System (INS) can allow you to determine position, velocities, and attitude from the subject’s status, like acceleration and rotation rate. Essentially, INS is a dead-reckoning system, so it has a huge cumulative error. An effective method is to integrate GPS with INS, in which the center is a nonlinear estimator (e.g., the Extended Kalman filter) to determine the navigation error, from which it can update the position the object more accurately. To improve even better accuracy, this paper proposes a new method that combines the original integrated GPS/INS with tri-axis rotation angles estimation and velocity constraints. The experimental system is built on a low-cost IMU with a tri-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer, and a GPS module to verify the model algorithm. Experiment results have shown that the rotation angles estimator helps us to determine the Euler angles correctly, thereby increasing the quality of the position and velocity estimation. In practice, the accuracy of the roll and pitch angle is 2 degrees; the error of the yaw angle is still large. The achieved horizontal accuracy is 2m when the GPS signal is stable and 3m when the GPS signal is lost in a short period. Compared with individual GPS, the error of the integrated system is about 10% smaller.

This paper describes an integrated MEMS IMU and GNSS system for vehicles. The GNSS system is developed to accurately estimate the vehicle azimuth, and the integrated GNSS/IMU provides attitude, position and velocity. This research is aimed at producing a low-cost integrated navigation system for vehicles. Thus, an inexpensive solid-state MEMS IMU is used to smooth the noise and to provide a high bandwidth response. The integration system with uncertain dynamics modeling and uncertain measurement noise is also studied. An interval adaptive Kalman filter is developed for such an uncertain integrated system, since the standard extended Kalman filter (SKF) is no longer applicable, and a method of adaptive factor construction with uncertain parameter is proposed for the nonlinear integrated GNSS/IMU system. The results from the actual GNSS/IMU integrated system indicate that the filtering method proposed is effective.

Federated Kalman Filter

In multi-sensor integrated navigation systems, when sub-systems are non-linear and with Gaussian noise, the federated Kalman filter commonly used generates large error or even failure when estimating the global fusion state. This paper, taking JIDS/SINS/GPS integrated navigation system as example, proposes a federated particle filter technology to solve problems above. This technology, combining the particle filter with the federated Kalman filter, can be applied to non-linear non-Gaussian integrated system. It is proved effective in information fusion algorithm by simulated application, where the navigation information gets well fused.

Navigation Information

The development of the global economy stimulates the exploitation of the ocean. A precise and stable ship navigation system is very important for people to explore the ocean. Dead reckoning (DR) system is a frequently used navigation system for sailing in the ocean. It can provide precise short term navigation information but the error of DR system can accumulate over time without limitation. GPS can be used for localization and navigation in outside environment. Although the SA policy was removed the accuracy of GPS for civilian use is still big. But the errors of GPS are bounded. Since the complementarity of DR and GPS system the integrated GPS/DR system can provide good navigation results. In this paper a new Kalman filter based DR/GPS data fusion method is proposed. This method is designed based on the characteristic of the GPS receiver. By using this data fusion method the cheap GPS receiver can cooperate with DR system to provide precise navigation information for ships. Simulation is conducted to validate the proposed fusion method. The good result shows the potential of this fusion method for the ship navigation.

The Impact

Traditional transfer alignment must use a pure Inertial Navigation System (INS) as the reference, because using the integrated navigation system as the reference would disrupt the transfer alignment process and lead to the divergence of the fine alignment filter. But there are some cases require the cooperation between the master INS and slave INS for long time duration, such as mapping. To guarantee the accuracy of the master INS, integrated navigation feedback is needed. So, transfer alignment technique using the integrated navigation system as the reference is required. Taking the error of master INS into account, a transfer alignment attitude error in the body frame was defined, which makes the transfer alignment attitude error free from the impact of integrated navigation feedback corrections. Then, its error equations were developed and a Kalman filter was designed based on it. Finally, a transfer alignment simulation using a GPS/INS integrated navigation system as reference was performed to validate the proposed scheme.
