The laser inertial measurement unit is a precision device widely used in rocket navigation system and other equipment, and its quality is directly related to navigation accuracy. In the quality evaluation of laser inertial measurement unit, there is inevitably uncertainty in the index input information. First, the input numerical information is in interval form. Second, the index input grade and the quality evaluation result grade are given according to different national standards. So, it is a key step to transform the interval information input by the index into the data form consistent with the evaluation result grade. In the case of uncertain input, this paper puts forward a method based on probability distribution to solve the problem of asymmetry between the reference grade given by the index and the evaluation result grade when evaluating the quality of laser inertial measurement unit. By mapping the numerical relationship between the designated reference level and the evaluation reference level of the index information under different distributions, the index evidence symmetrical with the evaluation reference level is given. After the uncertain input information is transformed into evidence of interval degree distribution by this method, the information fusion of interval degree distribution evidence is carried out by interval evidential reasoning algorithm, and the evaluation result is obtained by projection covariance matrix adaptive evolution strategy optimization. Taking a five-meter redundant laser inertial measurement unit as an example, the applicability and effectiveness of this method are verified.

The inertial sensor errors in SDINS(Strapdown Inertial Navigation System) can be compensated by rotating the inertial measurement unit and it is called RINS(Rotational Inertial Navigation System). It is assumed that the error of the inertial sensor in RINS is a static bias. However, the error of the inertial sensor actually developed and produced is not a static bias due to the change of the temperature applied to the sensor and the influence of the earth's gravity acceleration. In this paper, we propose a six-position gyro bias calibration method to evaluate the gyro bias required for RINS and present the test results of applying it to a ring laser gyro inertial navigation system under development.

Methods for measuring or estimating of ground shape by a laser range finder and a vision sensor(exteroceptive sensors) have critical weakness in terms that these methods need prior database built to distinguish acquired data as unique surface condition for driving. Also, ground information by exteroceptive sensors does not reflect the deflection of ground surface caused by the movement of UGVs. Thereby, UGVs have some difficulties regarding to finding optimal driving conditions for maximum maneuverability. Therefore, this paper proposes a method of recognizing exact and precise ground shape using Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU) as a proprioceptive sensor. In this paper, firstly this method recognizes attitude of a robot in real-time using IMU and compensates attitude data of a robot with angle errors through analysis of vehicle dynamics. This method is verified by outdoor driving experiments of a real mobile robot.

최근 들어 보행자 내비게이션을 위한 3차원 공간데이터의 요구가 급증하고 있다. 보행자 내비게이션에 있어서, 3차원 모델은 일반인의 시각에서 구체적으로 표현되어야 할 필요가 있다. 보행자 내비게이션을 위한 공간을 상세하게 구현하기 위해서는 실외 환경뿐만 아니라 지하쇼핑센터와 같은 실내 환경에서도 적용될 수 있는 3차원 모델을 개발하는 것이 필수적이다. 그러나 GPS 없이 모바일 맵핑만으로 3차원 데이터를 효율적으로 취득하기란 대단히 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 형상을 레이저 스캐너로 측정하고, 표면 텍스쳐는 CCD 센서로 취득하였으며, 계속적으로 변화하는 센서의 위치와 높이는 IMU를 통해 측정하였다. 또한 IMU의 위치데이터는 GPS의 위치보정 없이 CCD 이미지의 상대 표정을 통해 수정하였다. 연구결과로써, 디지털 카메라 및 레이저 스캐너와 IMU와의 통합을 통해 실내 환경에서 신뢰성 높고, 빠르며, 간편하게 3차원 공간 데이터를 취득할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.

관성항법장치 순수항법 성능을 개선하는 방법으로 관성센서 오차가 상호 상쇄되도록 관성센서뭉치를 회전시켜 항법 성능을 개선하는 방법이 있으며 이러한 원리로 동작하는 항법장치를 회전형 관성항법장치라 한다. 관성센서 오차에 의한 회전형 관성항법장치의 정확한 항법 성능 분석을 위해서는 이에 대한 이론적 오차해석이 요구되나 기존의 많은 연구에서는 지구회전 각속도 및 중력 가속도에 의한 영향을 무시하고 오차해석을 수행하여 회전형 관성항법장치의 정확한 항법 성능 분석이 수행되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 링레이저 자이로 기반 회전형 관성항법장치의 정확한 항법 성능 분석을 위하여 지구회전 각속도 및 중력 가속도 항을 포함한 이론적인 오차해석을 수행하고 이를 기반으로 회전형 관성항법장치의 항법 성능 분석 결과를 제시하였다.

모바일 매핑시스템은 차량에 GPS(Global Positioning System), IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit), CCD 카메라 등을 탑재하고 위치 및 영상 정보를 취득하는 효율적인 방법이다. 모바일 매핑시스템은 도로 시설물 관리, 지도 갱신 등 다양한 분야에 이용되고 있다. 국외에서 개발된 모바일 매핑시스템은 각 센서의 통합 및 동기화 방안을 알 수 없으므로 업그레이드하거나 새로운 센서를 추가하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 매핑시스템의 개선 및 센서추가를 위해서 모바일 매핑시스템에 기본석으로 필요한 GPS, IMU, 그리고 CCD 카메라와 향후 추가될 센서인 레이저, 오도미터(Odometer) 등의 센서가 추가될 경우를 고려하여 멀티 센서 통합 및 동기화 구현 방안을 제시하였다. 또한 동기화에 필요한 각 센1서의 요구사항을 파악한 후 동기화 장비를 설계 및 제작하고 실험하였다.

In order to present a space in details, it is indispensable to acquire 3D shape and texture simultaneously from the same platform. 3D shape is acquired by Laser Scanner as point cloud data, and texture is acquired by CCD sensor. Positioning data is acquired by IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). All the sensors and equipments are assembled on a hand-trolley. In this research, a method of integrating the 3D shape and texture for automated construction of Digital Surface Model is developed. This Digital Surface Model is applied for efficient feature extraction. More detailed extraction is possible , because 3D Digital Surface Model has both 3D shape and texture information.

Though the airborne laser scanning (ALS) technique is becoming more popular in many applications, horizontal accuracy of points scanned by the ALS is not yet satisfactory when compared with the accuracy achieved for vertical positions. One of the major reasons is the drift that occurs in the inertial measurement unit (IMU) during the scanning. This paper presents an algorithm that adjusts for the error that is introduced mainly by the drift of the IMU that renders systematic differences between strips on the same area. For this, we set up an observation equation for strip-wise adjustments and completed it with tie point and control point coordinates derived from the scanned strips and information from aerial photos. To effectively capture the tie points, we developed a set of procedures that constructs a digital surface model (DSM) with breaklines and then performed feature-based matching on strips resulting in a set of reliable tie points. Solving the observation equations by the least squares method produced a set of affine transformation equations with 6 parameters that we used to transform the strips for adjusting the horizontal error. Experimental results after evaluation of the accuracy showed a root mean squared error (RMSE) of the adjusted strip points of 0.27 m, which is significant considering the RMSE before adjustment was 0.77 m.

This paper introduces a robot platform which can do weeding while traveling between rice seedlings stably against irregular land surface of a paddy field. Also, an autonomous navigation technique that can track on stable state without any damage of the seedlings in the working area is proposed. Detection of the rice seedlings and avoidance knocking down by the robot platform is achieved by the sensor fusion of a laser range finder (LRF) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). These sensors are also used to control navigating direction of the robot to keep going along the column of rice seedling consistently. Deviation of the robot direction from the rice column that is sensed by the LRF is fed back to a proportional and derivative controller to obtain stable adjustment of navigating direction and get proper returning speed of the robot to the rice column.
