Navigation strategy as a predictor of navigation performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Navigation strategy is an important component of spatial navigation. In the present study, we developed an assessment of human navigation strategy using a virtual analog of an assessment of animal navigation strategy. We examined the relationship between age, sex, and navigation strategy preference on subsequent performance of the virtual Morris Water Task (vMWT). On our novel assessment of navigation strategy, individuals were highly consistent in preferring either an allocentric or egocentric strategy. There were also substantial group differences in strategy preference with older adults overwhelmingly preferring an egocentric strategy, while younger adults were evenly divided between strategies. There were no significant sex differences in navigation strategy. On subsequent vMWT testing, allocentric strategy preference was associated with more accurate probe trial performance and enhanced cognitive mapping. These results suggest that human navigation strategy can be assessed reliably and that these strategy preferences feed forward to influence performance on independent navigation tasks.

GPS/INS Integration for Vehicle Navigation based on INS Error Analysis in Kalman Filtering
The Global Positioning System (GPS) and an Inertial Navigation System (INS) are two basic navigation systems. Due to their complementary characters in many aspects, a GPS/INS integrated navigation system has been a hot research topic in the recent decade. The Micro Electrical Mechanical Sensors (MEMS) successfully solved the problems of price, size and weight with the traditional INS. Therefore...

Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...

In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
