Abstract |
This paper describe the method for maintaining initial azimuth of tactical grade IMU. The proposed method uses the zero velocity update (ZUPT) algorithm based on Kalman filter and the azimuth information previously obtained through transfer alignment. ZUPT technique can estimate and correct navigation attitude errors using the observed velocity error without the need of other sensors. Also, ZUPT combined pre-obtained azimuth information allows to maintain initial azimuth for tactical grade IMU. We verify the performance improvement of the proposed azimuth maintaining method by simulation and test. |
