The system error model for the compensation of the low-cost personal navigation system is derived and the error compensation method using GPS is also proposed. The walking navigation system (WNS) that calculates navigation information through walking detection has small error than INS, but the error also increases with time. In order to improve reliability of the system regardless of time, WNS is integrated with GPS. Since WNS is usually used in urban area, the blockage of CPS signal is frequently occurred. Therefore tightly coupled Kalman filter is used for the integration of WNS and GPS. In this paper, the system model for the design of tightly coupled Kかm filter is designed and measurement is linearized in consideration of moving distance error. It is shown by Monte Carlo simulation that the error is bounded even through the number of visible satellite is less than 4.

In this paper, the system model for the compensation of the low-cost personal navigation system is derived and the error compensation method using GPS is also proposed. WNS(Walking Navigation System) is a kind of personal navigation system using the number of a walk, stride and azimuth. Because the accuracy of these variables determines the navigation performance, computational methods have been investigated. The step is detected using the walking patterns, stride is determined by neural network and azimuth is calculated with gyro output. The neural network filters off unnecessary motions. However, the error compensation method is needed, because the error of navigation information increases with time. In this paper, the accumulated error due to the step detection error, stride error and gyro bias is compensated by the integrating with GPS. Loosely coupled Kalman filter is used for the integration of WNS and GPS. It is shown by simulation that the error is bounded even though GPS signal is blocked.

In this paper, the model for personal navigation system using low-cost inertial sensors and error compensation method with GPS are proposed. Simulation is accomplished for the performance test. WNS(Walking Navigation System) is a kind of personal navigation using the number of a walk, stride and azimuth. Because the accuracy of these variables determines the navigational performance, computational methods have been investigated. The step is detected using the motion pattern by walking motion, stride is determined by neural network and azimuth is calculated with gyro´s output.

본 논문에서는 저급 관성 센서를 이용한 개인 항법 장치의 모델 및 오차 보정 기법을 제시하고 성능 평가를 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 걸음 검출에 의한 보행 항법에서 중요한 변수인 보폭은 신경 회로망(Neural Network)을 이용하여 결정하였고, 자이로 바이어스 등에 의하여 누적되는 오차는 GPS와의 결합에 의하여 추정, 보상하였다. 이때 GPS와의 결합은 칼만필터를 이용하였으며 칼말필터를 구성하는데 필요한 오차 모델 및 결합 방법을 제시하였다. WNS/GPS 결합에 의하여 오차의 발산을 막을 수 있으며 GPS신호가 중간에 단절되는 경우에도 오차가 발산하지 않고 좋은 결과를 유지함을 보인다.
