The ring laser gyro inertial measurement unit has many systematic error terms and influences each other. These error terms show a complex nonlinear drift that cannot be ignored when the temperature changes, which seriously affects the stability time and output accuracy of the system. In this paper, a system-level temperature modeling and compensation method is proposed based on the relevance vector regression method. First, all temperature-related parameters are modeled; meanwhile, the Harris hawks optimization algorithm is used to optimize each model parameter. Then, the system compensation is modeled to stabilize the system output to the desired temperature. Compared with the least square method, the fitting performance comparison and the system dynamic compensation experiment prove this method’s superiority. The root mean square error, the mean absolute error, the

-squared, and the variance of residual increased by an average of 35.27%, 39.29%, 2.29%, and 30.34%, respectively.
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.
