Research on cooperative navigation and localization for multi-UUVs is important to solve navigation problems that restrict long and deep excursions. The authors investigated improvements in navigation accuracy. In the moving long base line (MLBL) structure, the master UUV is equipped with a high precision navigation system as a node of the moving long baseline, and the slave UUV is equipped with a low precision navigation system. They are both equipped with acoustic devices to measure relative location. Using traditional triangulation methods to calculate the position of the slave UUV may cause a faulty solution. An EKF was designed to solve this, combining the proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors. Research results proved that the navigational accuracy is improved significantly with the MLBL method based on EKF.展开更多

The system is applied to attitude determination due to its high accuracy, the high output rate, low latency, quick initialization, and good robustness and redundancy. The mathematical method for realizing the system is given. The system can provide attitude and other navigation information even without GPS measurement for a period of time. Experimental results show that, under the condition of 200 Hz, the attitude, the position, the velocity, the acceleration, and the angular rate can achieve 0. 08°/s, 1.5 m, 0. 1 m/s, 0. 12 m/s^2 and 0. 1°/s.展开更多

However, interferences to GPS introduce great dangers to GPS users. This paper gives an assessment of interferences to the GPS positioning signal. The work is mainly concentrated on effects of wide band interferences. Effects of traditional interferences such as continuous wave (CW), as well as broadband noise and pulse interference are studied. Furthermorre, according to the GPS' s signal characteristics, another kind of wideband interferences, named m sequence interference in this paper, is also studied. Simulation results show that m sequence interference is the most harmful to GPS C/A code if special m sequence is adopted and thus special countermeasures should be used to eliminate this effect.展开更多

The geodesic structures were implemented in the Historic Site of Olinda employing GNSS (global navigation satellite system) receivers, total stations and digital level. The historical site of Olinda was recorded by UNESCO as Historical and Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The study area is located in the center of the busiest site with a quite roughly relief. This area has been studied since 2007 involving Research of Scientific Initiation and Pos-Graduation Course. This paper aims to present the realized experiments for the implementation and definition of geodesic structures in environments with very rough relief, including large old houses and historic monuments.展开更多
