چکیده

This paper presents a study of the effects of compass bias on navigational accuracy of autonomous underwater vehicles. Low cost vehicle systems utilize a magnetometer, and Doppler sonar for dead reckoning, and a DGPS fix when surfaced. By learning the compass bias from a few DGPS fixes, the navigational errors can be bounded with only a small number of fixes. The study is conducted using the Florida Atlantic University OEX vehicle and a large set of data obtained from a 3.5 Km run including several segments at different headings so that the dependency of compass error on actual heading could be evaluated.

Precision and Reliability Incensement of Inertial Navigation System with Rotation and Redundancy

Precision and reliability are two main performance characteristic in low-cost Inertial Navigation System(INS). Increase of precision in low-cost INS without auxiliary sensors is main challenge. Bias instability leads to position drift error in inertial navigation system. In addition, fault occurrence makes the sensor reliability is decreased. Rotation of Inertial Measurement Unit(RIMU) and use ...

4 Attitude System

Attitude determination is a requirement for most navigation and control problems. Classically, this problem has been solved by an Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) using gyroscopes that are updated by gravity sensors (pitch and roll) and magnetic field sensors (yaw) with low-pass filters to attenuate errors incurred during turns. Rate gyroscopes are prone to bias-and random-walk errors r...

Sensor Stability of a Low-Cost Attitude Sensor Suitable for Micro Air Vehicles

This paper expands on previous work to introduce a high quality, but low cost attitude and heading reference system (AHRS), that is physically small, lightweight, and lowpower. Previous Work on the sensor has shown that for non-accelerating environments, this small low-cost sensor has a short term accuracy of approximately 4 ◦ in pitch, roll, and yaw. We extend the previous two-step non-linear ...

Improving the Attitude Accuracy of a Low Cost Mems/gps Integrated System Using Gps Heading Sensors

Integrated GPS/INS systems provide an enhanced navigation system that has superior performance in comparison with either system operating in stand-alone mode as it can overcome each of their limitations. The high cost and government regulations prevent the wider inclusion of high quality IMUs to augment GPS as a commercialized navigation system in many navigation applications. The progress in M...
