DGPS／INS Data Fusion for Land Navigation
摘要
The interest for land navigation has increased for the recent years.With the advent of the Global Position System(GPS) we have now the ability to determine the absolute position anywhere on the globe,The problem is that the GPS systems work well only in open environments with no overhead obstructions and they are subject to large unavoidable errors when the reception from some of the satellites are blocked.This occurs frequently in urban environments,Forests and tunnels.GPS systems require at least fourvisiblesatellites to maintain a good pogition fix,In many situations in which higher level of accuracy is required,the navigarion cannot of a reliable multisensor fusion algorithm using GPS and Inertial Navigation System in order to decrease the implementation cost of such systems on land vehicles,The major contribution of this paper is in the definition of the possible developments and research axes in land navigation.
