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.

An inertial navigation system (INS) aided with an aircraft dynamic model (ADM) is developed as a novel airborne integrated navigation system, coping with the absence of a global navigation satellite system. To overcome the shortcomings of the conventional linear integration of INS/ADM based on an extended Kalman filter, a nonlinear integration method is proposed. Fast-update ADM makes it possible to utilize a direct filtering method, which employs nonlinear INS mechanics as system equations and a nonlinear ADM as observation equations, substituting the indirect filtering based on linear error equations. The strong nonlinearity generally calls for an unscented Kalman filter to accomplish the fusion process. Dealing with the model uncertainty, the inaccurate statistical characteristics of the noise and the potential nonpositive definiteness of the covariance matrix, an improved square-root unscented H∞ filter (ISRUHF) is derived in the paper, in which the robust factor [Formula: see text] is further expanded into a diagonal matrix [Formula: see text], to improve the accuracy and robustness of the integrated navigation system. Corresponding simulations as well as real flight tests based on a small-scale fixed-wing aircraft are operated and ISRUHF shows superiority compared with the commonly used fusion algorithm.

The schemes of navigation systems correction are considered. The operation mode of the aircraft during navigation is analyzed. An adaptive modification of the linear Kalman filter is used to correct the navigation information. An algorithm for predicting a correction signal based on a neural network in the event of a loss of a SNS correction signal is formed. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

The Kalman filter (KF), which recursively generates a relatively optimal estimate of underlying system state based upon a series of observed measurements, has been widely used in integrated navigation system. Due to its dependence on the accuracy of system model and reliability of observation data, the precision of KF will degrade or even diverge, when using inaccurate model or trustless data set. In this paper, a fault-tolerant adaptive Kalman filter (FTAKF) algorithm for the integrated navigation system composed of a strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), a Doppler velocity log (DVL), and a magnetic compass (MCP) is proposed. The evolutionary artificial neural networks (EANN) are used in self-learning and training of the intelligent data fusion algorithm. The proposed algorithm can significantly outperform the traditional KF in providing estimation continuously with higher accuracy and smoothing the KF outputs when observation data are inaccurate or unavailable for a short period. The experiments of the prototype verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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.

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.

Particle filter is introduced. Since the particle filter would bring hard computation, a new Kalman/Particle mixed filter used on SINS/GPS integrated navigation system was proposed. The new method divides the system into two sub-models, one is linear, the other one is nonlinear, and then implement Kalman filter and particle filter separately. The simulation results show that their performance is almost equal, but the computation complexity of the Kalman/particle filter is much lower than traditional particle filter.

For the integrated navigation system, the correctness and the rapidity of fault detection for each sensor subsystem affects the accuracy of navigation. In this paper, a novel fault detection method for navigation systems is proposed based on Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). A GPR model is first used to predict the innovation of a Kalman filter. To avoid local optimisation, particle swarm optimisation is adopted to find the optimal hyper-parameters for the GPR model. The Fault Detection Function (FDF), which has an obvious jump in value when a fault occurs, is composed of the predicted innovation, the actual innovation of the Kalman filter and their variance. The fault can be detected by comparing the FDF value with a predefined threshold. In order to verify its validity, the proposed method is used in a SINS/GPS/Odometer integrated navigation system. The comparison experiments confirm that the proposed method can detect a gradual fault more quickly compared with the residual chi-squared test. Thus the navigation system with the proposed method gives more accurate outputs and its reliability is greatly improved.
