In this paper, a coarse alignment algorithm for strapdown inertial navigation system is proposed and evaluated analytically. The algorithm computes roll and pitch angles of the vehicle using accelerometer outputs, and then determines yaw angle with gyro outputs. It is referred, as two-step coarse alignment in this work. With the geometric relation between sensor outputs and roll, pitch and yaw angles, the algorithm error is analytically derived and compared with the previous coarse alignment algorithm introduced by Britting. The results show that the proposed two-step coarse alignment algorithm has better performance for pitch angle computation.

This paper describes an alignment algorithm that estimates the initial heading angle of AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) for starting navigation in a sea area. In the basic dead reckoning system, the initial orientation of the vehicle is very important. In particular, the initial heading value is an essential factor in determining the performance of the entire navigation system. However, the heading angle of AUVs cannot be measured accurately because the DCS (Digital Compass) corrupted by surrounding magnetic field in pointing true north direction of the absolute global coordinate system (not the same to magnetic north direction). Therefore, we constructed an experimental constraint and designed an algorithm based on extended Kalman filter using only inertial navigation sensors and a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver basically. The value of sensor covariance was selected by comparing the navigation results with the reference data. The proposed filter estimates the initial heading angle of AUVs for navigation in a sea area and reflects sampling characteristics of each sensor. Finally, we verify the performance of the filter through experiments.

The mechanization of navigation equation is depending on the designer according to the orientation vector relating the body frame to a chosen to inertial and navigation frames for its purposes. This paper considers the appropriate Earth Fixed frame for short range vehicle and develops a mechanization and algorithm for Strapdown Inertial Navigation System(SDINS). This mechanization consists of two parts : translational mechanization and rotational mechanization{attitude determination). The accuracy, availability and performance of this SDINS mechanization are verified on the simulation and the numerical method for integration attitude propagation is compared with a well-known method in a precession motion.

This paper presents a foot movement tracking system using ultrasonic sensors and inertial sensors, where the position and velocity of foot are computed using inertial sensors and ultrasonic sensors mounted on a shoe. A foot movement can be estimated using an inertial navigation algorithm only; however, the error tends to increase due to biases of gyroscopes and accelerometers. To reduce the error, a localization system using ultrasonic sensors is additionally used. In the localization system using ultrasonic sensors, the position is continuously calculated in the absolute coordinate. An indirect Kalman filter is used to combine inertial sensors and ultrasonic sensors. Through experiments, it is shown that the proposed system can track a foot movement.

A foot motion is estimated using an inertial sensor unit, which is installed on a shoe. The inertial sensor unit consists of 3 axis accelerometer and 3 axis gyroscopes. Attitude and position of a foot are estimated using an inertial navigation algorithm. To increase estimation performance, a smoother is used, where the smoother employs a forward and backward filter structure. An indirect Kalman filter is used as a forward filter and backward filter. A new combining algorithm for the smoother is proposed to combine a forward indirect Kalman filter and a backward indirect Kalman filter. Through experiments, the estimation performance of the proposed smoother is verified.

In tihs paper, an acceleratiion transformation algorithm which compensates the sculling error is proposed for strapdown inertial navigation system. The algorithm utilize the corss-product of the acceleromenter outputs and gyro outputs to keep the accuracy of the vehicle velocity under high frequency dynamic motion. From the error analysis of the algorithm, it is shown that the magnitude of estimation error is reduced by four orders.

We study on a terrain contour matching algorithm using Radial Basis Functions(RBFs) for aided inertial navigation system for position fixing aircraft, cruise missiles or re-entry vehicles. The parameter optimization technique is used for updating the parameters describing the characteristics of an area with modified Gaussian least square differential correction algorithm and the step size limitation filter according to the amount of updates. We have applied the algorithm for matching a sampled area with a target area supposed that the area data are available from Radar Terrain Sensor(RTS) and Reference Altitude Sensor(RAS)

관성항법시스템 (INS; inertial navigation system)은 센서 오차에 의해 유발되는 항법오차 보정을 위해 보정시스템이나 보정센서를 사용한다. 위성항법시스템 (GNSS; global navigation satellite system), 속도계 (VMS; velocity measurement sensor), 레이더는 INS를 보정하기 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 장치이다. 터널을 지나거나 전파 방해를 받아 GNSS를 사용할 수 없는 환경에서 지상항법시스템 (LNS; land navigation system)이 주로 사용하는 보정센서는 속도계이다. 속도계는 진행방향의 속도성분만 존재하고 횡축 및 종축 속도성분이 없기 때문에 속도계 보정항법을 수행 할 때 직진 주행이 요구된다. 국내는 고속도로라도 원활히 속도계 보정항법을 할 수 있는 구간이 드문데, 이는 국토 형상 및 도로 건설 조건이 속도계 보정에 필요한 직진성 유지에 적합하지 않기 때문이다. 본 논문은 직진성이 보장되지 않는 환경에서 LNS의 속도계를 사용한 보정항법을 수행할 때, 측정치의 필터 갱신 조건을 두어 성능을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 차량탑재 시험결과를 제시하여 알고리즘의 성능을 입증하였다.

This paper presents WMR modelling and path tracking algorithm using Inertial Navigation System. The error models of gyroscope and accelerometers in INS are derived by Gauss-Newton method which is nonlinear regression model. Then, to test availability of error model, we pursue the fitness diagnosis about probability characteristic for real data and estimated data. Performance of inertial sensor with error model and Kalman filter is pursued by comparing with one without them. The computer simulation shows that position error remarkably decrease when error compensation is applied.

In this paper an initial alignment algorithm for a strapdown inertial navigation system is implemented using a RISC CPU board. The algorithm computes roll pitch and yaw angles of the direction cosine matrix utilizing measured components of the specific force and earth rate when the navigation system is stationary. The coarse alignment algorithm is performed first and then the fine alignment algorithm containing a 3rd-order gyrocompass loop follows. The experimental set consists of an IMU a CPU board and a monitoring system Experimental results show that the implemented algorithm can be utilized in navigation systems.
