This paper presents a rotating ann test for assessment of an underwater hybrid navigation system for a semi-autonomous underwater vehicle. The navigation system consists of an inertial measurement unit (IMU), an ultra-short baseline (USBL) acoustic navigation sensor and a doppler velocity log (DVL) accompanying a magnetic compass. The errors of inertial measurement units increase with time due to the bias errors of gyros and accelerometers. A navigational system model is derived to include the error model of the USBL acoustic navigation sensor and the scale effect and bias errors of the DVL, of which the state equation composed of the navigation states and sensor parameters is 25 in the order. The conventional extended Kalman filter was used to propagate the error covariance, update the measurement errors and correct the state equation when the measurements are available. The rotating ann tests are conducted in the Ocean Engineering Basin of KRISO, KORDI to generate circular motion in laboratory, where the USBL system was absent in the basin. The hybrid underwater navigation system shows good tracking performance against the circular planar motion. Additionally this paper checked the effects of the sampling ratio of the navigation system and the possibility of the dead reckoning with the DVL and the magnetic compass to estimate the position of the vehicle.

This paper presents an underwater hybrid navigation system for a semi-autonomous underwater vehicle (SAUV). The navigation system consists of an inertial measurement unit (IMU), an ultra-short baseline (USBL) acoustic navigation sensor and a doppler velocity log (DVL) accompanying a magnetic compass. The errors of inertial measurement units increase with time due to the bias errors of gyros and accelerometers. A navigational system model is derived to include the error model of the USBL acoustic navigation sensor and the scale effect and bias errors of the DVL, of which the state equation composed of the navigation states and sensor parameters is 25 in the order. The conventional extended Kalman filter was used to propagate the error covariance, update the measurement errors and correct the state equation when the measurements are available. Simulation was performed with the 6-d.o.f. equations of motion of SAUV in a lawn-mowing survey mode. The hybrid underwater navigation system shows good tracking performance by updating the error covariance and correcting the system's states with the measurement errors from a DVL, a magnetic compass and a depth senor. The error of the estimated position still slowly drifts in horizontal plane about 3.5m for 500 seconds, which could be eliminated with the help of additional USBL information.

한국해양과학기술원에서는 수중 공사용 구조물에 적용할 수 있는 수중 위치 인식 기술을 개발하고 있다. 정밀한 위치 인식을 위해 관성 항법을 기반으로 한 확장 칼만 필터를 사용하였으며, 비동기화 된 센서들의 데이터를 알고리즘 보정 단계에 적용하기 위하여 내부의 관측 행렬을 데이터에 따라 구분하여 업데이트 하였다. 수중 공사 환경, 설치 위치, 시스템 운용 편의성 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 수중 공사 구조물 하부에 붙여야 신호를 획득할 수 있는 Doppler velocity logger(DVL)는 설치 및 회수가 어렵기 때문에 이를 배제한 수중 공사 구조물 부착용 수중 위치 인식 복합 시험체를 제작하였으며 수조 환경에서 수중 위치 인식 성능 시험을 수행하였다. Ultra short-base line(USBL)로 측정된 수중 위치, 위치 벡터만 보정된 추정 위치, 그리고 위치와 속도 벡터를 보정한 추정 위치 결과를 원형 공산 오차(CEP)를 이용하여 비교 및 평가하였다. 그 결과 USBL 단독 위치 추정 CEP 0.02 m, 위치 벡터만 보정한 추정 위치 CEP 3.76 m., 위치 및 속도 벡터를 보정한 추정 위치 CEP 0.06 m로 평가되었다. 본 연구를 통해 DVL이 미적용된 비동기식 센서들을 이용하여 안정적인 수중 위치를 추정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Underwater TRN (Underwater Terrain Referenced Navigation) estimates an underwater vehicle state by measuring a distance between the vehicle and undersea terrain, and comparing it with the known terrain database. TRN belongs to absolute navigation methods, which are used to compensate a drift error of dead reckoning measurements such as IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) or DVL (Doppler Velocity Log). However, underwater TRN is different to other absolute methods such as USBL (Ultra-Short Baseline) and LBL (Long Baseline), because TRN is independent of the external environment. As a magnetic-field-based navigation, TRN is a kind of geophysical navigation. This paper develops an EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) formulation for underwater TRN. A filter propagation part is composed by an inertial navigation system, and a filter update is executed with echo-sounder measurement. For large-initial-error cases, an adaptive EKF approach is also presented, to keep the filter be stable. At the end, simulation studies are given to verify the performance of the proposed TRN filter. With simplified sensor and terrain database models, the simulation results show that the underwater TRN could support conventional underwater navigation methods.
