Autonomous unmanned vehicle is able to find the path and the way point by itself. For the more precise navigation performance, Extended kalman filter, which is integrated with inertial navigation system and global positioning system is proposed in this paper. Extended kalman filter's performance is evaluated by the simulation and applied to the unmanned vehicle. The test result shows the effectiveness of extended kalman filter for the navigation.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a low cost inertial navigation system(INS) using an inertial measurement unit(IMU), a digital compass, GPS, and an embedded system. The system has been developed for a transporter that load and unload ship blocks in a shipbuilding yard. When the transporter would move from place to place, they would periodically pass under obstructions that would obscure the GPS signal. This increases the error when estimating the position. Thus the INS has been used to improve position accuracy. INS is also capable of providing continuous estimates of the transporter's position and orientation. Even though IMU is typically very expensive, this INS is made of "low cost" components and the indirect Kalman filtering algorithm.

In this paper, the symmetric position drift of the integration approach in pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) system with dual foot-mounted IMU is analyzed. The PDR system that uses the inertial sensor attached to the shoe is called the IA-based PDR system. Since this system is designed based on the inertial navigation system (INS), it has the same characteristics as the error of the INS, then zero-velocity update (ZUPT) is used to correct this error. However, an error that cannot be compensated perfectly by ZUPT exists, and the trend of the position error is the symmetric direction along the side of the shoe(left, right foot) with the IMU attached. The symmetric position error along the side of the shoe gradually increases with walking. In this paper, we analyze the causes of symmetric position drift and show the results. It suggests the possibility of factors other than the error factors that are generally considered in the PDR system based on the integration approach.

In this paper, an INS compensation algorithm is proposed using the accelerometer from IMU. First, we denote the basic INS algorithm and show that how to compensate the position error when low cost IMU is used. Second, considering the ship's characteristic and ocean environments, we consider with a drift as a periodic external environment change which is affected with exact position. To develop the compensation algorithm, we use a repetitive method to reduce the external environment changes. Lastly, we verify the proposed algorithm through the experiments, where the acceleration sensor is used to acquire real data.

In this paper a linear Kalman filter for calibration of gimballed inertial navigation system(GINS) is designed and its performace is analyzed through the simulation with a real navigation data. Simulation results show that the proposed Kalman filter gives a good performance to calibrate the sensor errors.

본 연구에서는 실내 공간 정보 획득을 위한 IMU/INS 항법장치에 관한 연구를 위한 선행연구를 수행 하였다. 최근의 GPS를 이용한 내비게이션의 경우 보통 5~10m의 위치 오차가 일어나지만 아파트나 대형시설과 같이 실내, 터널, 공장지대 및 산악 지대등 상당한 지역은 GPS의 사각지대 또는 오차 범위를 벗어난 지역으로 존재하고 있다. 따라서 GPS는 실내에서는 사용이 불가능 하므로 다른 방안이 제시되어야 한다. 현재 고속 연산을 위한 고성능 마이크로프로세서의 발전은 센서 분야에 적용되어 저 전력, 고 정밀, 소형의 IMU/INS, ARS/AHRS 센서가 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 IMU(inertial measurement unit)와 INS(Inertial Navigation System)을 이용하여 IMU자체의 자이로 센서와 가속도 센서를 이용한 GPS의 위성신호가 감지되지 않는 지형에서도 속도의 적분값과 회전방향을 이용하여 위치인식이 가능하도록 정보를 계산하여 자기의 위치를 추적하는 방안을 연구하였다.

Errors in inertial navigation system(INS) can be divided into two major groups which are system related errors and modeling errors due to approximation and linearization. Measurement noise, calibration, and alignment errors make up the first group, whereas the uncertainties in the gravity vector fall in the second category and are important error source for high quality INS, especially during high altitude and and/or long time missions, when the gravity errors tent to build up. The quality of a medium to high accuracy INS depends on the knowledge of the local gravity field. In this paper, the feasibility of improving airborns INS by use of more accurate gravity model is studied. To make consistent comparisons, WGS-84 parameters are used and ...

In order to reduce the time and cost of developing a navigation system, a performance evaluation platform can be used. A User Interface (UI) is required to effectively evaluate the performance, which sets parameters and gives navigation sensor signals and data display, and also displays navigation results. In this paper, a LabVIEW-based UI design method for multi-integrated navigation systems is proposed and implementation results are presented. The UI consists of a signal and data generation part and a signal and data processing part. The signal and data generation part sets parameters for the signal and data generation and displays the navigation sensor signal and data generation results. The signal and data processing part sets parameters for the signal and data processing and displays the navigation results. The signal and data generation part and signal and data processing part are designed to satisfy the requirements of the UI for a performance evaluation of the navigation system. In order to show the usefulness of the proposed UI design method, parameters of the signal and data generation and the signal and data processing are set through the LabVIEW-based UI, and the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal and inertial measurement unit data generation results and the navigation results of a GPS Software Defined Receiver (SDR) and inertial navigation system are confirmed. The implementation results show that the proposed UI design method helps users conduct an effective performance evaluation of navigation systems.

This paper describes a robust algorithm for an integrated underwater navigation system based on VKF (velocity Kalman filter). The proposed approach relies on a VKF, augmented by the altitude from an echo-sounder-based switching architecture to yield robust performance, even when DVL (Doppler velocity log) exceeds the measurement range and the measured value cannot be valid. The proposed approach relies on three parts: 1) PINS (pure inertial navigation system), 2) VKF design, and 3) VKF-aided integrated navigation filter design. To evaluate the proposed method, we compare the results of the VKF-aided navigation system with the simulation result from a PINS and conventional INS-DVL method.

When inertial navigation system(INS) employ more sensors that mutually orthogonal sets to three, the redundant sensor system can have improved reliability and accuracy. For the redundant system the placement of redundant sensors is related to the system performance and also the number and proper orientation of sensors are important. We consider INS sensor configurations using two IMUs comprised mutually orthogonal sets of three. We suggest several configurations using two IMUs and analyze the system performance and the FDI(fault detection and isolation) properties from suggested configurations.
