RLG(Ring Laser Gyroscope) is a main device of LINS(Laser Inertial Navigation System). RLG has the lock-in region in which there is no output signal. To alleviate the lock-in problem, a mechanical oscillation, the dither motion, is applied on RLG. A LPF(Low Pass Filter) is usually used on the output of RLG and accelerometer to remove the noise that is made by the dither motion. When the LINS is induced the disturbance during the initial alignment, it takes more time on alignment due to the use of the LPF and a fixed gain controller. In this paper, an initial alignment using UKF(Unscented Kalman Filter) is designed and analysed. Analysis include comparison between conventional initial alignment loop using fixed gain type controller and proposed initial alignment using UKF. Moreover, Disturbance inducing test results are demonstrated.

The GPS/INS integrated navigation system, which is one of the electronic equipments mounted on military aircraft store, can not directly receive GPS signals by the aircraft wing before the drop, so GPS navigation data is received from the aircraft and used for filter integration, afterwards, the integrated navigation is performed using the GPS information directly received through the antenna. In this case, it is possible to operate the mount in old aircraft without any modification of the aircraft when GPS data is transmitted using wireless. However, the delay occurs while the aircraft navigation data is transmitted to the integrated navigation filter of the aircraft store via wireless, which affects the time synchronization of the GPS measurement and the INS information, affecting the integrated navigation performance. In this paper, an algorithm to analyze and compensate the effect of generation and transmission delay that can occur when implementing GPS/INS integrated navigation system of aircraft store that receives GPS data via wireless.

GPS, which has been opened to the public since the 1980's, uses the C/A code time of arrival to estimate the position, and measures the carrier doppler frequency to estimate the velocity. In development from the 1990's, DGPS has improved position accuracy by eliminating common errors and CDGPS has achieved cm-level position accuracy using carrier phase. In this paper, a modified LSAST ambiguity resolution method for CDGPS is proposed to improve reliability and computational efficiency. Also the test results of cm level relative positioning of a moving vehicle using single frequency GPS receivers are compared to INS position. This research result can be widely used for the development of high precision INS, unmanned autonomous driving, survey and mapping, etc.

수중 무인항체(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, AUV)를 고정밀, 고위험 임무수행 분야에 이용하기 위해서는 연속적이고 정확한 항법정보를 제공하는 기술이 반드시 필요하다. 특히, 최근에는 항공분야에서 국내외적으로 연속적이고 정확한 항법정보를 제공하기 위하여 여러 가지 센서를 결합한 통합 항법시스템에 관한 연구가 활발하며, GPS나 음향장치를 관성센서와 통합하는 방법이 대표적이다. 하지만 수중 무인항체에 경우는 해수면 노출로 인한 탐사시간 장기화와 음향장치 설치 및 회수의 한계로 인하여 GPS나 음향장치 이외에 센서를 이용한 통합 항법시스템의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자율성이 높으면서, 적은 비용으로 설치가 가능한 영상센서를 이용하여 항법성능을 효과적으로 증대시키는 Vision/INS 통합 항법을 제안한다. 제안한 통합 항법알고리즘은 외부표정요소 직접결정기법을 이용하여 영상 데이터로부터 항체의 위치와 자세를 추정하고, 추정된 결과를 INS의 추정치와 비교한다. 그리고 추정한 위치와 자세오차를 입력으로 칼만필터를 구동하도록 설계하였다. 모의실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 유효성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose multiple location error compensation algorithm for GPS/INS fusion using kalman filter and introduce the way to reduce location error in 9-axis navigation devices for implementing inertial navigation technique. When evaluating location, there is an increase of location error. So navigation systems need robust algorithms to compensate location error in GPS/INS fusion. In order to improve robustness of 9-axis inertial sensor(mpu-9150) over its disturbance, we used tilt compensation method using compensation algorithm of acceleration sensor and Yaw angle compensation to have exact azimuth information of the object. And it shows improved location result using these methods combined with kalman filter.

This paper presents a study on the calibration of accelerometer data in the gyroscope free inertial navigation system(GFINS) using fuzzy inference system(FIS). The conventional INS(inertial navigation system) which can measure yaw rate and linear velocity using inertial sensors as the gyroscope and accelerometer. However, the INS is difficult to design as small size and low power because it uses the gyroscope. To solve the problem, the GFINS which does not have the gyroscope have been studied actively. However, the GFINS has cumulative error problem still. Hence, this paper proposes Fuzzy-GFINS which can calibrate the data of an accelerometer using FIS consists of two inputs that are ratio between linear velocity of the autonomous ground vehicle(AGV) and the accelerometer and ratio between linear velocity of the encoders and the accelerometer. To evaluate the proposed Fuzzy-GFINS, we made the AGV with Mecanum wheels and applied the proposed Fuzzy-GFINS. In experimental result, we verified that the proposed method can calibrate effectively data of the accelerometer in the GFINS.

In guided missile systems, reducing terminal-position error is the primary objective of the inertial navigation system. As a seeker is used to sense and track a target, the critical function of the inertial navigation system is to provide the seeker with accurate missile attitude information and help the seeker to keep tracking a target continuously. As inertial sensor body and missile body alignment errors are taken into account, it is desirable to minimize the alignment errors between the missile seeker and the attitude of inertial navigation system. Among the alignment errors, this paper addresses the methods of measuring and compensating misalignment between inertial sensor body and housing frame and shows test results of several experiments.

A new INS/Vision integrated navigation system by using multi-vision sensors is addressed in this paper. When the total number of landmark measured by the vision sensor is smaller than the allowable number, there is possibility that the navigation filter can diverge. To prevent this problem, multi-vision concept is applied to expend the field of view so that reliable number of landmarks are always guaranteed. In this work, the orientation of camera installed are 0, 120, and -120degree with respect to the body frame to improve the observability. Finally, the proposed technique is verified by using numerical simulation.

전원 공급이 제한되거나 전원 공급이 불가능한 소형 요트, 작업선, 바지선 등에도 항해 안전을 위한 다양한 항법장치가 필요하고, 해양사고 발생 시 사고원인을 분석하기 위한 기능이 필요하다. 그러나 기존 상선 및 수상레저용 개별 항법 장치는 고가, 대용량 전원공급, 조작의 어려움, 넓은 설치 공간의 필요 등의 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 3축 반도체 가속도 센서와 3축 반도체 경사 센서 및 다양한 기상 측정 센서와 CCD 카메라, 방수 캡슐에 내장된 메모리 등을 이용한 소형 스마트 항법 장치(Multi-Tasking Integrated Navigation System, MINS)를 설계하였다. 기존에 개발된 다양한 기술과 상용 센서 등을 이용하면 MINS 개발이 가능함을 알았고, 이러한 MINS 개발에 필요한 시스템을 제안하였다.

본 연구에서는 실내의 활동추적 시스템을 위해 가속도센서와 지자계 센서를 이용하여 외부로부터 독립적인 소형의 관성항법장치를 제안하였다. 기존의 실내 위치추적은 주로 GNSS(global navigation satellite system)의 정보를 가져와 실내 환경에 맞게 초음파와 RSSI(received signal strength indicator)등을 이용하여 구성한 경우가 연구되었으나 이러한 위성항법은 좌표 값이 미리 저장된 고정 노드가 필수적이라는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내 환경과 같이 이동거리가 길지 않으며, 기존 환경 및 외부로부터의 영향에서 자유로운 관성항법을 이용한 실내 활동추적시스템을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 지자계 센서와 3축 가속도 센서를 사용한 신호 계측부와 Zigbee기반의 무선 센서 네트워크를 이용한 무선 전송부를 구성하였으며, 계측된 데이터의 분석으로부터 실내 위치추적의 가능성을 평가하였다.
