Adaptive Kalman Filtering for INS/GPS

After reviewing the two main approaches of adaptive Kalman filtering, namely, innovation-based adaptive estimation (IAE) and multiple-model-based adaptive estimation (MMAE), the detailed development of an innovation-based adaptive Kalman filter for an integrated inertial navigation system/global positioning system (INS/GPS) is given. The developed adaptive Kalman filter is based on the maximum likelihood criterion for the proper choice of the filter weight and hence the filter gain factors. Results from two kinematic field tests in which the INS/GPS was compared to highly precise reference data are presented. Results show that the adaptive Kalman filter outperforms the conventional Kalman filter by tuning either the system noise variance–covariance (V–C) matrix `Q' or the update measurement noise V–C matrix `R' or both of them.

Design of minimax robust filtering for an integrated GPS/INS system

The problem of navigation systems with uncertain noise is considered. A minimax robust filtering which can minimize the worst performance under noise uncertainties using the game theory is proposed. This new filter is applied to an integrated GPS/INS navigation system. A high dynamics aircraft trajectory is designed to test the new filter. The results show that minimax robust filtering performs better than standard Kalman filtering when noise parameters of an inertial measurement unit change their statistical properties.

卡尔曼滤波与H∞滤波在INS／GPS组合导航中的应用

组合导航利用惯性导航（INS）和全球定位系统（GPS）较强的非相似性和互补性,将两者组合,可以取长补短,充分发挥各自的优点,提高导航系统性能。利用卡尔曼滤波能够有效提高其精度,但卡尔曼滤波的应用要求函数模型和随机模型已知,符合实际,这在实际应用中是很难保证的,一般都是通过经验信息确定。H滤波则具有很强的鲁棒性,抗干扰性强。通过仿真数据处理,结果表明：H滤波比卡尔曼滤波在噪声特性未知时更适用,精度更高。     

GPS/MEMS INS integrated system for navigation in urban areas

This paper evaluates the performance of a tightly coupled GPS/INS integrated system based on low cost MEMS IMUs in dense urban areas, and investigates two different methods to improve its performance. The first method used is to derive observations from two different constraint equations reflecting the behavior of a typical land vehicle. The first constraint equation is derived assuming that the vehicle does not slip and always remains in contact with the ground. If these assumptions are true the velocity of the vehicle in the plane perpendicular to the forward direction should be zero. The second constraint equation is derived from the fact that the height does not change much in a short time interval in a land vehicular environment. Thus, when a GPS outage occurs (partial/complete), the integrated system combines the INS and constraints-derived virtual measurements to keep the position and velocity errors bounded. This method is suitable for use in real-time applications. The second method is specifically suitable for a post-mission application and involves the use of Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) smoother. The designed system performance is evaluated using two data sets collected in dense urban areas. The obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of different algorithms considered, in controlling the INS error growth, and indicates the potential of MEMS IMUs for use in land vehicle navigation applications.

An integer ambiguity resolution procedure for GPS/pseudolite/INS integration

In order to achieve a precise positioning solution from GPS, the carrier-phase measurements with correctly resolved integer ambiguities must be used. Based on the integration of GPS with pseudolites and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), this paper proposes an effective procedure for single-frequency carrier-phase integer ambiguity resolution. With the inclusion of pseudolites and INS measurements, the proposed procedure can speed up the ambiguity resolution process and increase the reliability of the resolved ambiguities. In addition, a recently developed ambiguity validation test, and a stochastic modelling scheme (based on-line covariance matrix estimation) are adapted to enhance the quality of ambiguity resolution. The results of simulation studies and field experiments indicate that the proposed procedure indeed improves the performance of single-frequency ambiguity resolution in terms of both reliability and time-to-fix-ambiguity.

Comparing the Kalman filter with a Monte Carlo-based artificial neural network in the INS/GPS vector gravimetric system

Rigorous physical and mathematical analysis has been intensively developed to obtain the gravity disturbance vector from the inertial navigation system and the global positioning system. However, the combination of the observation noise and the systematic INS errors make it very challenging to accurately and efficiently describe the dynamics of the system with rigorous equations. Thus, the accuracy of the gravity disturbance estimates, especially in the horizontal components, is limited by the insufficient error models. To overcome the difficulty of directly modeling the systematic errors with exact mathematical equations, a Monte Carlo based artificial neural network is successfully applied in the moving base gravimetric system. The computation results show significant improvement in the precision of all components of the gravity disturbance estimates.

Attitude determination by integration of MEMS inertial sensors and GPS for autonomous agriculture applications

Integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) technologies, which has widespread usage in industry, is also regarded as an ideal solution for automated agriculture because it fulfils the accuracy, reliability and availability requirements of industrial and agricultural applications. Agriculture applications use position, velocity and heading information for automated vehicle guidance and control to enhance the yield and quality of the crop, and in order to vary the application of fertilizer and herbicides according to soil heterogeneity at sub-field level. A loosely coupled GPS/INS integration algorithm known as “AhrsKf” is introduced for automated agriculture vehicle guidance and control utilizing MEMS inertial sensors and GPS. The AhrsKf can produce high-frequency attitude solutions for the vehicle’s guidance and control system, by using inputs from a single survey grade L1/L2 antenna, eliminating the need for the previous two antenna solutions. Given its agricultural application, the AhrsKf has been implemented with some specific design features to improve the accuracy of the attitude solution including, temperature compensation of the inertial sensors, and the aid of plough lines of farm lands. To evaluate the AhrsKf solution, two benchmarking tests have been conducted by using a three-antenna GPS system and NovAtel’s SPAN-CPT. The results have demonstrated that the AhrsKf solution is stable and can correctly track the movement of the farming vehicle.
