In a non-gyro micro inertial measurement unit (NGMIMU), the coupling error reduces the system measurement precision obviously. Based on the definition of the coupling error, a new static decoupling method applied total least squares (TLS) algorithm is proposed. TLS considers not only the error of accelerometer output, but also the calibrating error of the input signal arising from the couple factor. Based on TLS, the solution of the coupling coefficient equation has the characteristic of minimum norm to the input and output values. In the navigation parameter estimation, according to the relationship of the accelerometer input and output value, the accurate estimated input value can be acquired through fitting the couple coefficient matrix using TLS and reconstructing the input value using Moore-Penrose generalized inverse matrix. A simulation case for estimating angle rate is investigated by this approach. The results show that the ratio of decoupling error is less than 8% and verify the feasibility of the static decoupling method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
