Abstract:A dynamic state realization for tightly coupling Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements with an Inertial Navigation System (INS) is described. The realization, based on the direct fusion of GPS and INS systems through Kalman filter state dynamics, explicitly accounts for temporal and spatial decorrelation of GPS measurement errors (such as tropospheric, ionospheric, and multipath errors) through state augmentation, thereby ensuring Kalman filter integrity under fault-free error conditions. Predicted syst… Show more
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.
