In this paper, from the economic point of view, a new scheme using the one-way directional communication link, is presented. Moreover, 8-state Kalman filter is proposed for integrated DGPS/DR system. When field tests are carried out using two C/A code GARMIN GPS receiver, the positioning accuracy less than 5 m (1σ) is achieved.展开更多

Dead-reckoning theory is presented in details. And the strong tracking Kalman filter and Singer model are applied to handle the imprecise navigation mode, which can improve the navigation system’s precision and reliability. Finally, the sea experiments which include autonomous search mission in an unknown area and long distance motion are conducted to demonstrate the reliability and feasibility of the navigation system.展开更多

This provides the prospect of a broad application for the inertial sensor-based pedestrian dead-reckoning(IPDR) systems. Especially for indoor navigation and indoor positioning, the IPDR systems have many unique advantages that other methods do not have. At present, a large number of technologies and methods for IPDR systems are proposed. In this paper, we have analyzed and outlined the IPDR systems based on about 80 documents in the field of IPDR in recent years. The article is structured in the form of an introduction-elucidation-conclusion framework. First, we proposed a general framework to explore the structure of an IPDR system. Then, according to this framework, the IPDR system was divided into six relatively independent sub-problems, which were discussed and summarized separately. Finally, we proposed a graph structure of IPDR systems, and a sub-directed graph, formed by selecting a combined path from the start node to the end node, skillfully constitutes a technical route of one specific IPDR system. At the end of the article, we summarized some key issues that need to be resolved before the IPDR systems are widely used.展开更多

Dead-reckoning (DR) is a known effective mechanism for update messagefiltering. Yet, previous dead-reckoning techniques mainly focus on the update message filtering forpositions. The existing orientation dead-reckoning algorithms are based on fixed threshold values.The drawbacks of fixed thresholding for orientations (FTO) are discussed in this paper. We propose avariable thresholding for orientations (VTO) based on average recent angular velocity. The mainadvantage of the proposed VTO is the ability of balancing the number of state update messages andshift frequency of direction and speed of rotation.展开更多
