In the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), gyro drift will result in navigation errors. A new algorithm based on star sensor is proposed in this paper to estimate gyro drift. The paper analyzed the working principle of star sensor and the technique of estimating gyro drift. Gyro drift can be estimated through the high-precision attitude information provided by a star sensor. Kalman filter is used in the integrated navigation model. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can estimate gyro drift accurately and improve the precision of SINS.

To improve the navigation precision of autonomous underwater vehicles, a terrain-aided strapdown inertial navigation based on Improved Unscented Kalman Filter (IUKF) is proposed in this paper. The characteristics of strapdown inertial navigation system and terrain-aided navigation system are described in this paper, and improved UKF method is applied to the information fusion. Simulation experiments of novel integrated navigation system proposed in the paper were carried out comparing to the traditional Kalman filtering methods. The experiment results suggest that the IUKF method is able to greatly improve the long-time navigation precision, relative to the traditional information fusion method.

In inertial navigation system, gyro is used to measure the angular velocity of carrier relative to inertial space for achieve attitude matrix updated in real time. Gyro difficult to eliminate the error, results in strapdown inertial navigation system precision decrease with time. Star sensor is a high-precision attitude measuring instrument and don’t require any priori information, the attitude date can be provided by star sensor. Thus, gyro is simulated by star sensor in order to improve the precision of strapdown inertial navigation system.

A method of accurate integrated navigation for high-altitude aerocraft by medium precision strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), star sensor, and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is researched in this paper. The system error sources of SINS and star sensor are analyzed and modeled, and then system errors of SINS and star sensor are chosen as system states of integrated navigation. Considering that the output of star sensor is attitude quaternion, it can be regarded as an attitude matrix, then the equivalent attitude matrix is constructed by using the output of SINS, and the calculating equation of the equivalent attitude matrix is designed. Thus, one of the measurements of integrated navigation can be constructed by using the equivalent attitude matrix and the attitude matrix output of star sensor. According to the constraint conditions of the attitude matrix, the diagonal elements are selected as one of the measurements of integrated navigation, and the corresponding measurement equation is derived. At the same time, the velocity output and position output difference between SINS and GNSS is selected as the other measurement, and the corresponding measurement equation is also derived. On this basis, the Kalman filter is used to design an integrated navigation filtering algorithm. Simulation results show that although the medium precision SINS is used, the heading accuracy of this integrated navigation method is better than ±1.5′, the pitch and roll accuracy are better than ±0.9’, the velocity accuracy is better than ±0.05 m/s, and the position accuracy is better than ±3.8 m. Therefore, the integrated navigation effect is very significant.

The problem of a strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) integration with an odometer as part of an integrated navigation system is considered. The odometer raw measurement is considered as an increment of the distance traveled along the odometer ‘measuring’ axis. Models of the integration solution components for the case of threedimensional navigation are presented, among which are the models of inertial autonomous and kinematic odometer dead reckoning (DR), models of relevant error equations, the model of SINS position aiding based on the odometer DR data and using GNSS position and velocity, wherever possible. The models comprise objective components, which do not depend on the type of the inertial sensors used and their accuracy grade, and variable components, which take into account the properties of the navigation sensors used. The integration does not require zero velocity updates, known as ZUPT correction, which are commonly used in navigation application.
