Since the stationary alignment process of the SDINS is not completely observable, some furls of the aided alignment have been applied. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new initial alignment algorithm, which utilizes the attitude output from the AGPS(Attitude Determination GPS) receiver and to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm with several experimental results. A Kalman filter is designed for utilizing the attitude output as well as the zero velocity information. Also analyzed is the observability of the SDINS error model. To show the feasibility of the proposed scheme, we implement an alignment system where HG1700AE IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) from Honeywell and an AGPS receiver designed at Chungnam National University are used. Test trials are done to evaluate the performance of the proposed alignment scheme. The proposed algorithm provides as good initial alignment performance as a high accurate navigation system, MAPS(Modular Azimuth Positioning System) INS.

The attitude dynamics of KITSAT-1 are modeled including the gravity gradient stabilization method. We define the operation scenario during the initial attitude stabilization period by means of a magnetorquering control algorithm. The required constraints for the gravity gradient boom deployment are also examined. Attitude dynamics model and control laws are verified by analyzing in-orbit attitude sensor telemetry data.

This paper describes the design and realization of full attitude system based on MEMS IMU and GPS carrier phase. The work can be divided into two parts: First, initial heading is determined by using two GPS receivers. And this paper discusses the usage of space geometry conditions to reduce the range of ambiguity search. The method presented in this paper was tested on the static. On the static condition, an accuracy better than 0.06 degrees for heading for 3.48m long baseline has been achieved. Integration of GPS and low cost MEMS IMU are used to realize the real-time heading attitude system. Second, level attitude (pitch and roll) is determined using the method of frequency-velocity for the feedback control. At the same time, the method using the attitude based on MEMS IMU to help determination of the range of ambiguity search is proposed. The results done on the sea show that an alternative means to provide real-time, cost-effective, accurate and reliable attitude information for attitude surveys. Though motivated by a big ships application, the design can be applied to other vehicles.

Recently an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been widely used for military and civil applications. The role of a navigation system in the UAV is to provide navigation data to the flight control computer (FCC) for guidance and control. Since performance of the FCC is highly reliant on the navigation data, a fault in the navigation system may lead to a disastrous failure of the whole UAV. Therefore, the navigation system should possess a fault detection and isolation (FDI) algorithm. This paper proposes an attitude determination GPS/INS integrated navigation system with an FDI algorithm for a UAV. Hardware for the proposed navigation system has been developed. The developed hardware comprises a commercial inertial measurement unit (IMU) and the integrated navigation package (INP) which includes an attitude determination GPS (ADGPS) receiver and a navigation computer unit (NCU). The navigation algorithm was implemented in a real-time operating system with a multi-tasking structure. To evaluate performance of the proposed navigation system, a flight test has been performed using a small aircraft. The test results show that the proposed navigation system can give accurate navigation results even in a high dynamic environment.

In this paper, the error compensation method of the low-cost IMU is proposed. In general, the position and attitude error calculated by accelerometers and gyros grows with time. Therefore the additional information is required to compensate the drift. The attitude angles can be bound accelerometer mixing algorithm and the heading angle can be aided by single antenna GPS velocity. The Kalman filter is used for error compensation. The result is verified by comparing with the attitude calculated and dynamics position determination by Attitude Heading Reference System with Micro Electro Mechanical System for a basis

잘못된 미지정수는 잘못된 위치값을 사용자에게 제공하여 자세결정에 큰 오차를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이동하는 항체에 4개 이상의 GPS 안테나를 고정시켜 정확한 자세결정을 수행할 때 다중경로를 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 4개 이상의 GPS 안테나에서 얻은 측정값이 같은 수신기 시계오차를 갖게 되면, 안테나 사이의 기하학적 관계를 이용하여 자세결정을 보다 효과적으로 수행할 수 있다. 안테나 사이의 거리를 반파장으로 만들어 미지정수 검색의 과정 없이 미지정수를 결정하고, GPS 반송파 측정값에 존재하는 다중경로 오차를 추정할 수 있다. 본 논문은 GPS 반송파 측정값의 다중경로 오차를 추정하는 알고리즘을 제시하고 수학적인 증명을 하였으며, 이 결과를 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

관성항법시스템은 항체의 자세, 속도 및 위치정보를 획득하기 위하여 폭넓게 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 관성센서는 매우 고가이며, 무겁고, 시간이 경과함에 따라 센서의 오차가 누적되어 발산하게 되는 단점이 있다. 한편 GPS를 이용한 항법시스템은 오차의 누적이 없고, 위성의 가시성만 확보된다면 빠르게 항체의 속도, 위치정보를 획득할 수 있으며, GPS 안테나 배열을 이용하면, 항체의 자세요소도 계산이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 중저가 GPS 수신기의 안테나 배열을 사용하여 항체의 위치측위 정확도 및 자세 정확도 모두를 개선시키기 위한 방법을 연구하였다. 중저가형의 GPS 수신기 안테나 배열을 사용한 자세 결정 방법은 기준과 보조 안테나 사이의 상대적인 벡터에 초점을 맞추었다. 기준 안테나의 위치는 의사거리 측위로 한 단독 측위가 사용되었기 때문에 미터 수준으로 결정된다. 또한 항체의 측위 정확도 향상을 위해, 무선 인터넷을 이용하여 실시간 차분 보정을 실시하였으며, 중저가의 2주파 GPS 수신기를 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 측위에서 센티미터 수준의 정확도를, 자세결정에서 도 수준의 정확도를 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

GPS is widely used for positioning applications and attitude of a vehicle can be found also with multiple antennas. However, extremely weak signal level prevents GPS from indoor operation. DR with accelerometers and gyros and landmark based localization method used for indoor applications increase complexity and cost. In this paper, a simple but very efficient ultrasound based attitude determination system which determines both position and attitude in WSN is given. The range between transmitter and receivers are measured using the arrival time difference between ultrasound and RF signal. The 3 dimensional positions can be found using more than 3 range measurements. Furthermore, if more than 2 transmitters are used, the attitude can be determined using the baseline vectors obtained by differencing transmitter and receiver positions. The prototype system is implemented to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. In addition, an error analysis shows the relation between the attitude error and basel me length, quality of measurement and orientation of a vehicle. The static and dynamic experiments performed by micro mobile robot shows accurate position with less than 1.5cm error and attitude with less than 1 degree error can be obtained continuously with 20cm baseline. It is expected that these results can be adapted without modification to indoor applications such as home cleaning robot and autonomous wheelchair maneuvering.

This paper describes attitude determination algorithm for the low earth orbit(LEO) spacecraft using stellar inertial sensors. The cascaded gyro/star tracker extended Kalman filter is constructed to fuse two sensor data. And then the smoothing of the measurement are proposed for an unreasonable jump of star tracker. The smoothing algorithm for the rejection of star tracker error jumps is designed by scalar adaptive filter. The proposed algorithms operate to process the measurement of gyro/star tracker Kalman filter, therefore, it is comparatively simple to apply these methods to other integration systems. Simulations to gyro/star tracker integrated system show that the proposed method is effective.
