In conventional GPS/DR integration schemes, the GPS position (or pseudo-range) information is used in calibrating DR sensors. In those schemes, however, an inaccurate calibration may degrade the position accuracy when the GPS measurement is not available. This paper presents a new integration scheme where the GPS velocity information is used in calibrating DR sensors. Also proposed is a new error model of DR sensors for calibrating the bias error and the tilt error in dynamic environments. The proposed model makes it possible that the errors of both the DR sensor parameters and the velocity are calibrated using the GPS carrier-based velocity(or the pseudo-range rate) measurement while the DR position error is calibrated using the GPS position measurement. Since the DR sensors are calibrated accurately, the positioning accuracy is drastically improved when the GPS measurements are unavailable.

In the GPS/DR integrated system, the GPS position(or velocity) is used to compensate the DR output and to calibrate errors in the DR sensor. This synergistic relationship ensures that the calibrated DR accuracy can be maintained even when the GPS signal is blocked. Because of the observability problem, however, the DR sensors are not sufficiently calibrated when the vehicle speed is low. This problem can be solved if we use a multi-antenna GPS receiver for attitude determination instead of conventional one. This paper designs a two-antenna GPS receiver integrated with DR sensors. The proposed integration system has three remarkable features. First, the DR sensor can be calibrated regardless of the vehicle speed with the aid of two-antenna GPS receiver. Secondly, the search space of integer ambiguities in GPS carrier-phase measurements is reduced to a part of the surface of the sphere using DR heading. Thirdly, the detection resolution of cycle-slips in GPS carrier-phase measurements is improved with the aid of DR heading. From the experimental result, it is shown that the search grace is drastically reduced to about 3120 of the non-aided case and the cycle-slips of 1 or half cycle can be detected.

본 논문에서는 저가이면서 높은 정확도를 갖는 GPS와 DR의 통합시스템 및 이 시스템의 위치 결정에 수반되는 오차문제를 고려한다. 이 통합 GPS/DR 시스템은 실시간 또는 비 실시간으로 고정밀도의 위치 정보를 제공하는 성능을 갖는다. DR 측정치에 영향을 주는 주요 오차 요인을 분석하여 이를 8개의 상태 변수의 모델로 표현하였다. 이들 변수의 상태 방정식을 사용하여 DR신호가 제공되는 매 순간에서 상태 변수값을 추산하기 위한 통합시스템용 비선형 필터를 개발한다, 1Hz의 DR 측정치와 3Hz로 제공되는 GPS 위치 정보를 위치 추산치에 대해 이 통합시스템의 정확도를 평가한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 GPS신호가 정전되는 기간동안 통합 시스템의 성능을 두 가지 서로 다른 잡음모델에 대해 비교 검토한다. 두 잡음모델 중 하나는 단일잡용을 사용하는 반면에 또 다른 모델은 이중 잡음 모델을 채용한다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 이중 잡음 모델을 채용하는 GPS/DR 통합시스템은 단일 잡음 모델을 이용하는 경우에 비하여 측위성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

In order to improve the performance of a GPS/DR integration system, the error sources of DR sensors should be modeled accurately, This results in the increases in the dimension of the integration filter and, consequently, computational load becomes large. To reduce the computational load, suggested in this paper is a decoupled GPS/DR integration scheme that consists of two cascaded Kalman filters. The GPS velocity output is used in the first filter to calibrate the DR sensor and to fix the velocity as well. The velocity from the first filter is fed to the second filter where the position is corrected using the GPS position output. Experimental results show that the proposed integration scheme has positioning performance comparable to the conventional coupled one, while its computation is reduced to about 2/3.

This work demonstrates a dead-reckoning (DR) scheme for a low-cost land navigation system and a DR/GPS system design using the sigma point Kalman filter (SPKF). T hrough an observability analysis and some simulations, it is shown that the performances of a stand-alone DR system and DR/GPS system can be improved by employing the proposed DR scheme and SPKF. By using the designed DR scheme and filter, the stand-alone DR system does not have any undetectable errors occurring on the curve trajectory. And the DR/GPS system can provide a stable and seamless navigational solution even in the case where the initial heading estimation error is large, such as 160 degrees, or when the GPS signal is unavailable due to tunnels, buildings, and so on. Simulation results indicate a satisfactory performance of the proposed system.

Recently, number of navigation system using GPS and other complementary sensors has been developed to offer high-position accuracy. In this paper, an integration of GPS and Dead-Reckoning, which consists of a fiber optical gyroscope and two high-precision wheel-motor encoders for a unmanned navigation system, is presented. The main objective of this integrated GPS/DR unmanned navigation system is to provide accurate position and heading navigation data continuously for autonomous mobile robot. We propose a method for increasing the accuracy of the estimated position of the mobile robot by its DR sensors, high-precision wheel-motor encoders and a fiber optical gyroscope. We used Kalman filter theory to combine GPS and DR measurements. The performance of GPS/DR navigation system is evaluated.

본 논문에서는 차량합법시스템에서 위치정확도 향상을 위한 방법으로 GPS/DR 통합시스템을 사용하여 DLM(Dynamic Linear Model) 알고리즘을 적용한 개선된 통합필터를 제안하였다. GPS/DR 통합 시스템의 성능을 개선하기 위해서는 DR 센서의 오류요소를 정확히 모델링 하여야 한다. GPS 로부터 위치를 계산하기 위해서는 적어도 3개 이상의 가시위성이 필요하다. 그러나 도심지에서는 고층빌딩이나 가로수 등에 의한 장애물로 인해서 3개 이상의 가시위성을 확보하기가 힘든 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 가시위성의 확보가 힘든 고층 빌딩이나 가로수길 등에서도 우수한 성능을 보이는 GPS 의사거리 및 의사거리율 정보를 이용하는 CPS/DR 통합 DLM 필터를 이용하여 성능을 개선시키는 방법을 제시한다.
