Based on wavelet threshold denoising and functional coefficient autoregressive （FAR） model- ing, a combined data processing method is presented for MEMS inertial sensor, and GPS attitude information is also introduced to improve the estimation accuracy of MEMS inertial sensor errors. Then the positioning accuracy during GPS signal short outage is enhanced. To improve the positioning accuracy when a GPS signal is blocked for long time and solve the problem of the tra- ditional adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system （ANFIS） method with poor dynamic adaptation and large calculation amount, a self-constructive ANFIS （SCANFIS） combined with the extended Kalman filter （EKF） is proposed for MEMS-INS errors modeling and predicting. Experimental road test results validate the effi- ciency of the proposed methods.展开更多

With the advent of the Global Position System (GPS) we have now the ability to determine the absolute position anywhere on the globe. The problem is that the GPS systems work well only in open environments with no overhead obstructions and they are subject to large unavoidable errors when the reception from some of the satellites are blocked. This occurs frequently in urban environments, forests and tunnels. GPS systems require at least four “visible” satellites to maintain a good position fix. In many situations in which higher level of accuracy is required, the navigation cannot be achieved by GPS alone. This paper discusses the design of a reliable multisensor fusion algorithm using GPS and Inertial Navigation System in order to decrease the implementation cost of such systems on land vehicles. The major contribution of this paper is in the definition of the possible developments and research axes in land navigation.展开更多

Because the IKF algorithm is applicable only to linear interval systems, the extended interval Kalman filter (EIKF) algorithm for non linear integrated systems is developed. A high dynamic aircraft trajectory is designed to test the algorithm developed. The results of computer simulation indicate that the EIKF algorithm is consistent with the traditional SKF scheme, and is also effective for uncertain non linear integrated system.展开更多

KF （Kalman filter） is a conventional method which is used for the navigation system to estimate the navigational parameters, when INS measurements are fused with GPS data. However, new generation of INS, which relies on MEMS （micro-electro-mechanical systems） based low-cost IMUs （inertial measurement units） for the land navigation systems, decreases the accuracy and the robustness of navigation system due to their inherent errors. This paper provides a new method for fusing the low-cost IMU and GPS measurements. The proposed method is based on KF aided by AF1S （adaptive fuzzy inference systems） as a promising solution to overcome the mentioned problems. The results of this study show the efficiency of the proposed method to reduce the navigation system errors in comparison with KF alone.展开更多
