This study was performed to investigate the effects of inertial navigation system (INS) / global positioning system (GPS) sensor fusion for agricultural vehicle navigation. An extended Kalman filter algorithm was adopted for INS/GPS sensor fusion in an integrated mode, and the vehicle dynamic model was used instead of the navigation state error model. The INS/GPS system was consisted of a low-cost gyroscope, an odometer and a GPS receiver, and its performance was tested through computer simulations. When measurement noises of GPS receiver were 10, 1.0, 0.5, and 0.2 m ($1{\sigma}$), RMS position and heading errors of INS/GPS system at 5 m/s straight path were remarkably reduced with 10%, 35%, 40%, and 60% of those obtained from the GPS receiver, respectively. The decrease of position and heading errors by using INS/GPS rather than stand-alone GPS can provide more stable steering of agricultural equipments. Therefore, the low-cost INS/GPS system using the extended Kalman filter algorithm may enable the self-autonomous navigation to meet required performance like stable steering or more less position errors even in slow-speed operation.

실시간 공중자료획득 시스템은 긴급상황에서 실시간으로 공간정보를 생성하기 위해 빠른 매핑을 수행하는 시스템이다. 이 시스템은 GPS/INS 통합 알고리즘에서 제공한 위치 및 자세를 사용하여 무기준점 방식의 AT(aerial truangulation)을 수행한다. 따라서 순차적으로 AT을 통한 조정된 위치 및 자세를 얻을 수 있다면, 이를 칼만필터의 측정치로 하여 위치 및 자세를 보정할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 무인항공기 기반의 항공시스템을 기준으로 GPS/IMS Image 시뮬레이션 데이터를 생성하였다. 생성된 시뮬레이션 데이터를 이용하여 GPS/INS 통합 알고리즘을 통한 AT 수행결과와 AT을 통해 조정된 위치 및 자세를 이용하여 GPS/INS 위치 및 자세를 보정하는 GPS/INS/AT 통합 알고리즘에 의해 계산된 AT의 결과를 산출하여 비교하였다. 비교분석 결과, GPS/INS/AT 통합 알고리즘으로 AT를 수행한 결과가 GPS/INS를 이용한 AT를 수행한 결과보다 정확성이 높은 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 항체가 회전을 할 경우에는 위치 오차가 GPS/INS로 부터의 위치오차보다 높게 나오는 경향을 보였으며, 추후 분석이 필요할 것이라고 사료된다.

The INS/GPS integration system is designed by employing an adaptive filter that can estimate the measurement noise variance using the residual of the filter. To verify the efficiency of the proposed loosely-coupled INS/GPS integration system, simulation is performed by assuming that GPS information has large position errors. Simulation results show that the proposed integration system with the adaptive filter is more effective in estimating the position and attitude errors than those with the Extended Kalman Filter.

The CPS provides data with long-term stability independent of passed time and the INS provides high-rate data with short-term stability. By integrating these complementary systems, a highly accurate navigation system can be achieved. In this paper, a loosely-coupled GPS/INS integration system is designed. It is a simple structure and is easy to implement and preserves independent navigation capability of GPS and INS. The integration system consists of a NCU, an IMU, a GPS receiver, and a monitoring system. The navigation algorithm in the NCU is designed under the multi-tasking environment based on a real-time kernel system and the monitoring system is designed using the Visual C++. The integrated Kalman filter is designed as a feedback formed 15-state filter, in which the states are position errors, velocity errors, attitude errors and sensor bias errors. The van test result shows that the integrated system provides more accurate navigation solution then the inertial or the GPS-alone navigation system.

This paper presents a framework for GPS/INS/Vision based navigation system of helicopters. GPS/INS coupled algorithm has weak points such as GPS blockage and jamming, while the helicopter is a speedy and high dynamical vehicle amenable to lose the GPS signal. In case of the vision sensor, it is not affected by signal jamming and also navigation error is not accumulated. So, we have implemented an GPS/INS/Vision aided navigation system providing the robust localization suitable for helicopters operating in various environments. The core algorithm is the vision based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technique. For the verification of the SLAM algorithm, we performed flight tests. From the tests, we confirm the developed system is robust enough under the GPS blockage. The system design, software algorithm, and flight test results are described.

Inertial Navigation System(INS) has been used in the field of air navigation for a long time but is not popular in general aviation due to high price. Recently low-price GPS is available but vulnerable to radio interference. As an alternative on these problems, GPS/INS integrated navigation system has been considered. GPS/INS is capable of implementing navigation with low-price inertial sensors but its accuracy is dependent upon how much drift of INS may be calibrated by using GPS. In order to apply GPS/INS to air navigation, it must be investigated how long drift of INS in case of no GPS aiding will be bounded within requirements for safe flight. From the above motivation, the flight test for GPS/INS navigation system was conducted in order to make sense its performance in air navigation and its result was shown.

본 연구에서는 항공기로부터 얻어지는 다수의 다중 분광영상을 자동적인 모자이킹 방법을 개발함으로써 수작업을 최대한 줄이는데 목적을 두었다. DuncanTech MS4100 카메라를 이용하여 2436개의 녹색, 적색, 근적외 삼분광 영상이 획득되었다. 카메라 영상과 함께 관측한 LIDAR(LIght Detection And Ranging)자료와 항공기의 위치와 자세를 측정하기위해 GPS/INS(global positioning system/inertial navigation system)자료도 산출되었다. 다수의 다중 분광 영상은 우선 무감독 분류를 적용하여 영상 패턴으로 변환하였다. 인접한 영상의 패턴을 비교하여 각 영상의 상대적인 공간의 위치를 파악하였다. 모든 항공 영상 중에서 80%의 인접한 영상 패턴의 일치율을 파악하고 모자이킹할 수 있었다. 다음으로 GPS/INS자료와 무감독 분류를 혼합한 방법으로 항공 영상을 자동 모자이킹 수행하였다. GPS/INS자료와 영상 포착시점의 불일치로 연속되는 GPS/INS자료 중에 무감독 분류를 이용한 영상 패턴의 일치율을 조사하여 영상포착시점에 일치하는 GPS/INS자료를 선택하였다. 이 혼합방법으로 96%의 영상을 모자이킹했으며, LIDAR자료와의 검정에서 공간적 정도 RMSE는 1.44 m에 불과했다.

본 논문은 쿼드로터의 최단거리 복귀 시 위치인식을 위해 확장칼만필터를(EKF) 이용한 저가형 GPS/INS 융합시스템과 셀 분할 알고리즘이 결합된 위치추정시스템을 제안한다. 연구에서는 저가형 GPS가 가지는 위치오차와 INS가 가지는 가속도 값의 계속적인 적분으로 인한 누적 오차를 줄이기 위해 확장칼만필터를 이용하여 GPS/INS 융합시스템을 구성한다. 또한 쿼드로터는 원점 복귀 명령 시 최단거리의 경로 지점에 대한 위치 경로 측정이 가능하기 때문에 위치 경로를 기준으로 셀 분할 알고리즘을 적용하여 GPS/INS 결합 데이터 중 실제 위치와 근접한 데이터를 결정함으로써 위치오차를 더욱 줄인다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법의 성능은 실외에서 쿼드로터 복귀 중 GPS, GPS/INS 결합, 셀 분할 알고리즘 적용 각각의 실험 결과를 비교함으로써 평가된다.
