Abstract Indoor positioning is a key technology in today’s intelligent environments, and it plays a crucial role in many application areas. This paper proposed an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) based on the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) instead of the minimum mean square error criterion (MMSE). This innovative approach is applied to the loose coupling of the Inertial Navigation System (INS) and Ultra-Wideband (UWB). By introducing the maximum correntropy criterion, the MCCUKF algorithm dynamically adjusts the covariance matrices of the system noise and the measurement noise, thus enhancing its adaptability to diverse environmental localization requirements. Particularly in the presence of non-Gaussian noise,… More >

Abstract Initial alignment is the precondition for strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) to navigate. Its two important indexes are accuracy and rapidity, the accuracy of the initial alignment is directly related to the working accuracy of SINS, but in selfalignment, the two indexes are often contradictory. In view of the limitations of conventional data processing algorithms, a novel method of compass alignment based on stored data and repeated navigation calculation for SINS is proposed. By means of data storage, the same data is used in different stages of the initial alignment, which is beneficial to shorten the initial alignment time and… More >

Abstract Strapdown non-exchangeable error compensation technology in high dynamic environment is one of the key technologies of strapdown inertial navigation system. Mathematical platform is used in strapdown inertial navigation system instead of physical platform in traditional platform inertial navigation system, which improves reliability and reduces cost and volume of system. The maximum error source of attitude matrix solution is the non-exchangeable error of rotation due to the non-exchangeable of finite rotation of rigid bodies. The rotation non-exchangeable error reaches the maximum in coning motion, although it can be reduced by shortening the correction period and increasing the real-time calculation. The equivalent… More >

Abstract The performance of the transfer alignment has great impact on inertial navigation systems. As the transfer alignment is generally implemented using a filter to compensate the errors, its accuracy, rapidity and anti-disturbance capability are key properties to evaluate the filtering process. In terms of the superiority in dealing with the noise, H∞ filtering has been used to improve the anti-disturbance capability of the transfer alignment. However, there is still a need to incorporate system uncertainty due to various dynamic conditions. Based on the structural value theory, a robustness stability analysis method has been proposed for the transfer alignment to evaluate… More >
