Vision-aided inertial navigation systems can provide precise state estimates for the 3-D motion of a vehicle. This is achieved by combining inertial measurements from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) with visual observations from a camera. Observability is a key aspect of the state estimation problem of INS/Camera. In most previous research, conservative observability concepts based on Lie derivatives have extensively been used to characterize the estimability properties. In this paper, we present a novel approache to investigate the observability of INS/Camera: global observability. The global observability method directly starts from the basic observability definition. The global observability analysis approach is not only straightforward and comprehensive but also provides us with new insights compared with conventional methods. Some sufficient conditions for the global observability of the system is provided.
