In order to provided continuous solutions, latest developing navigation systems tend to integrate GPS receiver with INS or DR. Using the GPS carrier-phase measurements, an attitude GPS receiver with three antennas obtain the 3-dimensional attitude such as roll, pitch, and heading as well as position and velocity. With these angle measurements, in the attitude GPS/INS integrated system, attitude or gyro errors can be directly compensated. In this paper, we develop an integrated navigation system that combines attitude GPS receiver with INS. The performance of real-time integrated navigation system is determined by not only the implements of integration filter but also the synchronization of measurements. To meet these real-time requirements, the navigation software is implemented in multi-tasking structure in this paper. We also employ time-synchronization technique in the multi-sensor fusion. Experimental results show that the performance of the attitude GPS/INS integrated system is consistent even when cycle-slip occurs in carrier-phase measurements.

A design of CPS attitude determination system is described in this paper. The designed system is a low cost high precision 24 channel single frequency GPS(Global Positioning System) receiver which provides a precise absolute heading and pitch (or roll) as well as a position. It uses commercial chip-set and consists of two RF parts, two signal-tracking parts, a processor, memory parts and I/Os. In order to determine precise attitude, accurate carrier phase measurements and an efficient integer ambiguity resolution method are required. To meet these requirements, a PLL (Phase Locked Loops) is designed, and an algorithm called ARCE (Ambiguity Resolution with Constraint Equation) is adopted. The hardware and software structure of the system will be described, and the performance evaluated under various conditions will be presented. The test results will promise that more reliable navigation system be possible because the system provides all navigational information such as position, velocity, time and attitude.

In this paper, a personal navigation system is developed using GPS and dead reckoning sensors. This personal navigation system can be used to track a person inside a building, on an urban street, and in the mountain area. GPS can provide accurate absolute position information, but it cant be used without receiving enough satellite signals. Although the inertial sensors such as gyro an accelerometer and be used without this diggiculty, the inertial sensors severely suffer from their drift errors and the magne-tometer can be easily distorted by surrounding electromagnetic field. GPS and DR sensors can be inte-grated together to overcome these problems. A new personal navigation system that can be carried wit person is developed. A pedometer. actually vertically mounted accelerometer, detects ones footstep and gyro detects heading angle. These DR sensors are integrated with GPS and the humans walking pattern provides additional navigation information for compensating the DR sensors. The field testes are performed to evaluated the proposed navigation algorithm.

Generally, underwater unmanned vehicle have adopted an inertial navigation system (INS), dead reckoning (DR), acoustic navigation and geophysical navigation techniques as the navigation method because GPS does not work in deep underwater environment. Even if the tactical inertial sensor can provide very detail measurement during long operation time, it is not suitable to use the tactical inertial sensor for small size and low cost UUV because the tactical inertial sensor is expensive and large. One alternative to INS is attitude heading reference system (AHRS) with the micro-machined electro mechanical system (MEMS) inertial sensor because of MEMS inertial sensor's small size and low power requirement. A cost effective and small size attitude heading reference system (AHRS) which incorporates measurements from 3-axis micro-machined electro mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscopes, accelerometers, and 3-axis magnetometers has been developed to provide a complete attitude solution for UUV. The AHRS based MEMS overcome many problems that have inhibited the adoption of inertial system for small UUV such as cost, size and power consumption. Several evaluation experiments were carried out for the validation of the developed AHRS's function and these experiments results are presented. Experiments results prove the fact that the developed MEMS AHRS satisfied the required specification.

This paper presents a multistage in-flight alignment (MIFA) method for a strapdown inertial navigation system (SDINS) suitable for moving vehicles with no initial attitude references. A SDINS mounted on a moving vehicle frequently loses attitude information for many reasons, and it makes solving navigation equations impossible because the true motion is coupled with an undefined vehicle attitude. To determine the attitude in such a situation, MIFA consists of three stages: a coarse horizontal attitude, coarse heading, and fine attitude with adaptive Kalman navigation filter (AKNF) in order. In the coarse horizontal alignment, the pitch and roll are coarsely estimated from the second order damping loop with an input of acceleration differences between the SDINS and GPS. To enhance estimation accuracy, the acceleration is smoothed by a scalar filter to reflect the true dynamics of a vehicle, and the effects of the scalar filter gains are analyzed. Then the coarse heading is determined from the GPS tracking angle and yaw increment of the SDINS. The attitude from these two stages is fed back to the initial values of the AKNF. To reduce the estimated bias errors of inertial sensors, special emphasis is given to the timing synchronization effects for the measurement of AKNF. With various real flight tests using an UH60 helicopter, it is proved that MIFA provides a dramatic position error improvement compared to the conventional gyro compass alignment.

In this paper, the error compensation method of the attitude reference system with low-cost IMU is proposed. In general, the attitude error calculated by gyro grows with time. Therefore the additional information is required to compensate the drift. The attitude angles can be bound by accelerometer mixing algorithm and the heading angle can be aided by GPS velocity information. The Kalman filter is used for error compensation. The result is verified by comparing with the attitude calculated by medium-grade IMU, LP-81.

본 논문에서는 GPS 수신 불가지역에서 저가형 관성센서를 활용한 보행자용 위치정보시스템을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 보행자의 자세/방향각, 걸음검출 및 보폭 크기를 추정하고, 보조센서 등을 활용하여 위치오차를 줄인다. 제안 시스템은 보행자가 휴대할 수 있는 소형/경량화/저전력 설계된 H/W 모듈 형태로 구현을 하였으며, 건물 내에서의 보행자 이동 실험을 통해 제안 시스템의 성능을 검증하였다. 실험결과를 통해 보행자가 약 160m 이동시 약 2.4%의 위치오차율을 갖는 결과를 얻었다.

The GPS can provide accurate position information on the earth. But GPS receiver can't give position information inside buildings. DR(Dead-Reckoning) or INS(Inertial Navigation System) gives position information continuously indoors as well as outdoors, because they do not depend on the external navigation information. But in general, the inertial sensors severely suffer from their drift errors, the error of these navigation system increases with time. GPS and DR sensors can be integrated together with Kalman filter to overcome these problems. In this paper, we developed a personal navigation system which can be carried by person, using GPS and electronic pedometer. The person's footstep is detected by an accelerometer installed in vertical direction and the direction of movement is sensed by gyroscope and magnetic compass. In this case the step size is varying with person and changing with circumstance, so determining step size is the problem. In order to calculate the step size of detected footstep, the neural network method is used. The teaming pattern of the neural network is determined by human walking pattern data provided by 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope. We can calculate person's location with displacement and heading from this information. And this neural network method that calculates step size gives more improved position information better than fixed step size.

다중빔 음향탐사 시스템(Multibeam Echosounder system : MBES)은 넓은 지역을 소해측량(swath)하여 전자해도 제작, 고정밀 DEM 획득, 동영상 제작 등에 활용하는 최신 수로측량기술이다. MBES의 정확도향상 연구를 위한 기초연구로서 DGPS와 움직임측정센서(Motion senser)의 측정값을 비교 분석하여 선박의 동적 거동특성을 연구하였다. DGPS를 선체 전후, 좌우에 설치하여 측량한 GPS 위치 값의 수신정확도는 Roll은 ${\pm}0.0016^{\circ}$, Pitch는 ${\pm}0.0009^{\circ}$로 움직임측정센서 값의 정확도 평가가 가능한 양호한 정도를 얻었다. DGPS와 움직임측정센서의 Heading, Pitch, Roll 상관관계는 모두 정상관 관계를 나타냈다. 또한, 각 변화량에 따른 편차량의 상관관계는 정상관 관계이나 탐사선의 급회전, 진동 등과 같은 요소에 의해 편차가 발생 될 것으로 사료된다. GPS에 의한 조위변화량, Heave값은 움직임측정센서 값과 유사하며, GPS속도는 설치장소에 따라 변화가 있어 영향이 가장 적은 선박의 중심선에 설치하는 것이 적당하다. MBES Processor 장치에 입력되는 자이로, 움직임측정센서 값이 DGPS 실시간 관측 값보다 자이로는 15초, Pitch, Roll, Heave는 13초 시간차가 있어 MBES 최종값의 정확도에 영향을 줄 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.
