On ship, especially on large ship, the flexure deformation between Master (M)/Slave (S) Inertial Navigation System (INS) is a key factor which determines the accuracy of the integrated system of M/S INS. In engineering this flexure deformation will be increased with the added ship size. In the M/S INS integrated system, the attitude error between MINS and SINS cannot really reflect the misalignment angle change of SINS due to the flexure deformation. At the same time, the flexure deformation will bring the change of the lever arm size, which further induces the uncertainty of lever arm velocity, resulting in the velocity matching error. To solve this problem, a $H_{\infty}$ algorithm is proposed, in which the attitude and velocity matching error caused by deformation is considered as measurement noise with limited energy, and measurement noise will be restrained by the robustness of $H_{\infty}$ filter. Based on the classical "attitude plus velocity" matching method, the progress of M/S INS information fusion is simulated and compared by using three kinds of schemes, which are known and unknown flexure deformation with standard Kalman filter, and unknown flexure deformation with $H_{\infty}$ filter, respectively. Simulation results indicate that $H_{\infty}$ filter can effectively improve the accuracy of information fusion when flexure deformation is unknown but non-ignorable.

In this paper, a study result to decide the accuracy specifications of inertial sensors satisfying the performance requirements of SINS(ship's inertial navigation system) is proposed. To do this, the performance specifications of overseas SINS is surveyed and the detailed error analysis of SINS at stationary condition is performed. Also, a new performance index to indicate the performance of SINS is derived. Modelling and simulation results show that the accuracy specifications of inertial sensors to meet the performance requirements of SIGMA40XP, a typical overseas SINS, can be determined through the newly derived performance index in this paper.

관성측정장치(Inertial Measurement Unit)는 선박, 잠수함, 항공기 등 여러 응용분야에서 적용되어 자세 측정 영역에 주로 사용되고 있지만, 이런 장비는 고가의 장비이기 때문에 특수 분야에서만 한정적으로 이용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 저가의 관성측정장치(Inertial Measurement Unit)를 이용하여 실시간으로 선박의 속도와 방향, 중력, 가속도를 측정함으로써 선박의 감항성을 확인하며, 더 나아가 실선 선박의 저항 및 조종성능 추정을 위한 유체력 미계수 추정을 위한 연구방법을 고안하였다. 이에 본 연구는 실제 해상에서 선체 운동요소를 계측하고, 계측된 데이터의 처리 및 해석을 통하여 선박의 종합적인 안전성 평가 및 실선의 저항 및 조종성능 추정을 행하였다.

This paper deals with the transfer alignment problem of SDINS(StrapDown Inertial Navigation System) subjected to roll and pitch motions of the ship. Specifically, to reduce alignment errors induced by measurement time-delay and ship body flexure, an error compensation method is suggested based on delay state augmentation and DCM(Direction Cosine Matrix) partial matching. A linearized error model for the velocity and attitude matching transfer alignment system is first derived by linearizing the nonlinear measurement equation with respect to its time delay and augmenting the delay state into the conventional linear state equations. And then DCM partial matching is properly combined to reduce effects of a ship's Y axis flexure. The simulation results show that the suggested method is effective enough resulting in considerably less azimuth alignment errors.

In this paper, a 3m-class free running model ship will be introduced with its manoeuvring performance experiments. The results of turning circle test and zig-zag test will be explained. The developed system are equipped with GPS, main control computer, wireless LAN, IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), self-propulsion propeller and driving rudder. Its motion can be controlled by RC (Radio Control) and wireless LAN from land based center. Automatic navigation is also available by pre-programmed algorithm. The trajectory of navigation can be acquired by GPS and it provides us with important data for ship's motion control experiments. The results of manoeuvring performance experiment have shown that the developed free running model ship can be used to verify the test of turning circle and zig-zag. For next step, other experimental researches such as ship collision avoidance system and automatic berthing can be considered in the future.

IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit)는 선박, 잠수함, 항공기 및 군용장비 응용분야에서 적용되어 자세 측정 영역에 주로 사용되고 있지만, 이런 IMU는 고가의 장비이기 때문에 특수 분야에서만 한정적으로 이용되어 왔다. 그러나 MEMS AHRS(MEMS : Micro Electro Mechanical System, AHRS : Attitude and Heading Reference System)의 현 기술 상황은 지능형 MEMS AHRS가 채택된 응용분야에서 가격이 높은 IMU를 대체 할 수 있는 수준에 이르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자이로 센서, 가속도 센서, 지자기 센서를 사용한 AHRS를 이용하여 선박의 주요 운동 요소인 횡동요, 종동요, 선수동요 값을 측정할 수 있는 무선 선체 운동 측정 시스템을 개발하였다. 또한 AHRS 센서가 발생시키는 오차인 순간 가속도, 지자기의 영향 및 진동에 대응하기 위하여 칼만 필터링 기능이 탑재된 센서를 적용함으로서 최적의 성능을 실현하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 구현한 AHRS 센서를 이용한 무선 선체 운동 측정 시스템을 이용하여 실선 실험을 실행하였으며, 선박의 제한적인 설치 상황에서도 편리하게 적용할 수 있을 것으로 보여진다. 향후 이 시스템이 선박에서 INS(Integrated Navigation System) 및 VDR(Voyage Data Recorder)과 같은 선박 장비와 호환되어 활용될 경우 항해 안전과 해양사고 분석에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, an INS compensation algorithm for auto sailing system is proposed, where low cost IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) is used for measuring the accelerometer data. First, we denote the basic INS algorithm with IMU and show that how to compensate the error of position by using low cost IMU. Second, in considering the ship's characteristic and ocean environments, we consider with a factor as a periodic external disturbance which effects to the exact position. To develop the compensation algorithm, we use a repetitive method to reduce the external environment changes. Lastly, we verify the proposed algorithm by using experiments results.

Position of surface objects can be fixed in many ways. The most popular radionavigational systems, including satellite systems, make possible obtaining nearly continuous and very precise ship's position. However, under the water application of radionavigational systems is impossible. Underwater navigation requires other tools and solutions then these encountered in surface and air navigation. In underwater environment vehicles and submarines, operate that have to possess alternative navigational systems. Underwater vehicles, in order to perform their tasks require accurate information about their own, current position. At present, they are equipped with inertial navigational systems (INS). Accuracy of INS is very high but in relatively short periods. Position error is directly proportional to time of working of the system. The basic feature of INS is its autonomy and passivity. This characteristic mainly decides that INS is broadly used on submarines and other underwater vehicles. However, due to previously mentioned shortcoming i.e. gradually increasing position error, periodical calibration of the system is necessary. The simplest calibration method is surface or nearly surface application of GPS system. Another solution, which does not require interruption of performed task and emergence on the surface, is application of comparative navigation technique. Information about surrounding environment of the ship, obtained e.g. by means sonic depth finder or board sonar, and comparing it with accessible pattern can be used in order to fix ship's position. The article presents a structure and a description of working of underwater vehicle navigation system simulator. The simulator works on the basis of comparative navigation methods which exploit in turn digital images of echograms and sonograms. The additional option of the simulator is ability to robust estimation of measurements. One can do it in order to increase accuracy of position fixed with comparative navigation methods application. The simulator can be a basis to build future underwater navigation system.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a low cost inertial navigation system(INS) using an inertial measurement unit(IMU), a digital compass, GPS, and an embedded system. The system has been developed for a transporter that load and unload ship blocks in a shipbuilding yard. When the transporter would move from place to place, they would periodically pass under obstructions that would obscure the GPS signal. This increases the error when estimating the position. Thus the INS has been used to improve position accuracy. INS is also capable of providing continuous estimates of the transporter's position and orientation. Even though IMU is typically very expensive, this INS is made of "low cost" components and the indirect Kalman filtering algorithm.
