Patent
Camera and inertial measurement unit integration with navigation data feedback for feature tracking
Yunqian Ma,Wesley J. Hawkinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a camera, and a processor are used to determine navigation data based on the IMU and the at least one image frame.
Patent
Personal navigation using terrain-correlation and/or signal-of-opportunity information
TL;DR: In this paper, a Kalman filter is used to generate the corrective feedback as a function of at least one of GPS/DGPS information, sensor information, user input, terrain correlation information, signal-of-opportunity information, and/or position information output by a motion classifier.
Patent
Systems and methods for reducing vibration-induced errors in inertial sensors
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for reducing bias errors in an inertial sensor operating within an environment may include a vibration detector for sensing vibration changes within the environment proximate to the inertial sensors, and a Kalman filter for computing an estimate of the navigational error produced by the sensor due to a vibration-induced bias shift detected by the vibration detector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of Rao–Blackwellized Point-Mass Filter With Application in Terrain Aided Navigation
TL;DR: The proposed filter preserves advantages of the point-mass filter, including the high estimation accuracy, robust initialization, deterministic nature of the algorithm, and predictable computational complexity, while the computational complexity is significantly reduced.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Tactical underwater navigation system (TUNS)
TL;DR: A technology development team organized by Honeywell has developed a self-contained prototype system that integrates a GPS receiver, an inertial measurement unit, a solid state magnetometer, a pressure sensor and a multi-axis Doppler velocity sensor that functions as a surface or underwater navigator and also enables the user to perform underwater surveying and mapping.
