文摘Inertial navigation and attitude initialization in polar areas become a hot topic in recent years in the navigation community,as the widely-used navigation mechanization of the local level frame encounters the inherent singularity when the latitude approaches 90°.Great endeavors have been devoted to devising novel navigation mechanizations such as the grid or transversal frames.This paper highlights the fact that the common Earth-frame mechanization is sufficiently good to handle the singularity problem in polar areas.Simulation results are reported to demonstrate the singularity problem and the effectiveness of the Earth-frame mechanization.
