“…The calibration of the polarization navigation sensor is not a new problem, and a few calibration methods have been presented in the literature [7,9,11,[15][16][17]. For the polarization navigation sensor consisting of three polarized-light sensors (POL-sensors), two different calibration algorithms are proposed based on the angle reference [9,11,17].…”

“…For the polarization navigation sensor consisting of three polarized-light sensors (POL-sensors), two different calibration algorithms are proposed based on the angle reference [9,11,17]. For the polarization navigation sensor using six POL-sensors, Chu analyzed the AOP output error of the sensor [15,16], and proposed a calibration algorithm based on the least-squares (LS) method for fitting the AOP output errors, but didn't estimate the calibration parameters [7].…”

“…Finding solutions to this polarization navigation sensor calibration problem via the method in [17] is not easy, because the construction of this sensor is more complex, and we have proven that the calibration procedure of this polarization navigation sensor via using the calibration method in [17] is ill-posed in the sequel.…”

In this paper, a polarization navigation sensor is designed based on the polarization sensitivity mechanisms of insects. A new calibration model by taking full advantage of both reference angle of polarization (AOP) and constant degree of polarization (DOP) is presented to determine calibration parameters. Unlike existing calibration algorithms, the proposed algorithm makes the calibration problem well-posed. The results of simulations and experiments show that the proposed algorithm is more stable than the compared methods for the calibration applications of polarization navigation sensors.
