Simulation Results

The transfer alignment of strapdown inertial units were proposed that use the H filter to estimate the misalignment of the slave INS (inertial navigation system) relative to the master INS. Characteristics of the H filter in transfer alignment were studied in detail by checking digital simulation results obtained by using the H and Kalman filters. The results shows that the misalignment angle obtained with the H filter converge faster and closer to the exact values than do those obtained with the Kalman filter. The H filter is more robust than the Kalman filter in transfer alignment for MEMS integrated navigation system.

Filtering Approach

In underwater navigation, the conventional Error State Kalman Filter (ESKF) is used for combining navigation data where due to first order linearization of the nonlinear equations of the dynamics and measurements, considerable error is induced in estimated error state and covariance matrices. This paper presents an underwater integrated inertial navigation system using the unscented filter as an improved nonlinear version of the Kalman filter family. The designed system consists of a strap-down inertial navigation system accompanying Doppler velocity log and depth meter. In the proposed approach, to use the nonlinear capabilities of the unscented filtering approach the integrated navigation system is implemented in a direct approach where the nonlinear total state dynamic and and measurement models are utilised without any linearization. To our knowledge, no results have been reported in the literature on the experimental evaluation of the unscented-based integrated navigation system for underwater vehicles. The performance of the designed system is studied using real measurements. The results of the lake test show that the proposed system estimates the vehicle's position more accurately compared with the conventional ESKF structure.

Simulation Results

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.

This paper deals with the integrated navigation system based on fusion of data from Strap Down Inertial Navigation System (SDINS) and from Global Position System (GPS). In order to increase the accuracy and reliability of navigation algorithms, these two different systems are combined. The navigation system that be analyzed is basically of INS type while GPS corrective data are obtained less frequently and these are treated as noisy measurements in an extended Kalman filter scheme. The simulation of whole system (SDINS/GPS integrated system with Kalman filter) was modeled using MATLAB package, SIMULINK© tool. The proper choice of Kalman filter parameters had taken to minimize navigation errors for a typical medium range flight scenario (Simulated test trajectory and real trajectory of vehicle motion). A prototype of a SDINS installed on a moving platform in the laboratory to collected data by many experiments to verification our SIMULINK models.

In order to improve the guidance accuracy of long-range rockets, a GPS/INS integrated navigation method with combination of position, velocity and attitude was applied. The GPS/INS integrated navigation system taking the position and velocity from INS and attitude from GPS as observables was studied. The error model of system was established and the Kalman filter was designed. A 6-DOF trajectory simulation was put forward and the correction capability of the INS measurement error by using GPS attitude measurement information was analyzed. The simulation results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the integrated navigation method.

Position Errors

Inertial navigation systems exhibit position errors that tend to grow with time in an unbounded mode. This degradation is due, in part, to errors in the initialization of the inertial measurement unit and inertial sensor imperfections such as accelerometer biases and gyroscope drifts. Mitigation to this growth and bounding the errors is to update the inertial navigation system periodically with external position (and/or velocity, attitude) fixes. The synergistic effect is obtained through external measurements updating the inertial navigation system using Kalman filter algorithm. It is a natural requirement that the inertial data and data from the external aids be combined in an optimal and efficient manner. In this paper an efficient method for integration of Strapdown Inertia Navigation System (SINS), Global Positioning System (GPS) and Doppler radar is presented using a centralized linear Kalman filter by treating vector measurements with uncorrelated errors as scalars. Two main advantages have been obtained with this improved scheme. First is the reduced computation time as the number of arithmetic computation required for processing a vector as successive scalar measurements is significantly less than the corresponding number of operations for vector measurement processing. Second advantage is the improved numerical accuracy as avoiding matrix inversion in the implementation of covariance equations improves the robustness of the covariance computations against round off errors.

The centralized Kalman filter is always applied in the velocity and attitude matching of Transfer Alignment (TA). But the centralized Kalman has many disadvantages, such as large amount of calculation, poor real-time performance, and low reliability. In the paper, the federal Kalman filter (FKF) based on neural networks is used in the velocity and attitude matching of TA, the Kalman filter is adjusted by the neural networks in the two subfilters, the federal filter is used to fuse the information of the two subfilters, and the global suboptimal state estimation is obtained. The result of simulation shows that the federal Kalman filter based on neural networks is better in estimating the initial attitude misalignment angle of inertial navigation system (INS) when the system dynamic model and noise statistics characteristics of inertial navigation system are unclear, and the estimation error is smaller and the accuracy is higher.

Integrated Navigation System

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 detection of track geometry parameters is essential for the safety of high-speed railway operation. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of the state detector of track geometry parameters, in this study we propose an inertial GNSS odometer integrated navigation system based on the federated Kalman, and a corresponding inertial track measurement system was also developed. This paper systematically introduces the construction process for the Kalman filter and data smoothing algorithm based on forward filtering and reverse smoothing. The engineering results show that the measurement accuracy of the track geometry parameters was better than 0.2 mm, and the detection speed was about 3 km/h. Thus, compared with the traditional Kalman filter method, the proposed design improved the measurement accuracy and met the requirements for the detection of geometric parameters of high-speed railway tracks.
