Human movement detection using attitude and heading reference system
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments, 2014Among different types of human movement, falls are the most important since they related with high social and economic costs. Falls can cause various unintentional injuries such as fractures or in the worst-case scenario even lead to death, elderly citizen.

An Attitude Heading and Reference System for Marine Satellite Tracking Antenna
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2017One of the most challenging problems for marine satellite tracking antennas (MSTAs) is to estimate the antenna attitude, which is affected by the ship motion, especially the ship vibration and rotational motions caused by ocean waves. To overcome this problem, an attitude heading and reference system (AHRS) for MSTA is presented in this paper ...

GNSS-Based Dual-Antenna Heading Augmentation for Attitude and Heading Reference Systems
ION GNSS+, The International Technical Meeting of the Satellite Division of The Institute of Navigation, 2016Many current high-end avionics installations utilize redundant Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) with very high quality Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) in order to maintain high accuracy heading with integrity. Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRSs) that provide less accurate heading are frequently used on smaller business and regional ...

An attitude heading and reference system: Basic concepts and prototype
2011 IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics, 2011This article proposes a basic platform for inertial measurements. In order to control an autonomous vehicle, it is fundamentally important to know its attitude. For aerial vehicles, this information is critical to determining the control loop's feedback parameters.

Invariant observer design of attitude and heading reference system
Control Theory and Technology, 2019An attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) is a nonlinear state estimator unit for computing orientation in 3D space. This paper designs an AHRS using three approaches: an invariant observer, an invariant extended Kalman filter (IEKF), and a conventional extended Kalman filter (EKF).

An Estimator for Attitude and Heading Reference Systems Based on Virtual Horizontal Reference
2016 American Control Conference (ACC), 2016The output of the attitude determination systems suffers from large errors in case of accelerometer malfunctions. In this paper, an attitude estimator, based on Virtual Horizontal Reference (VHR), is designed for an Attitude Heading and Reference System (AHRS) to cope with this problem.

Developing an Attitude and Heading Reference System based on Advanced MEMS Gyros
AIAA Infotech @ Aerospace, 2015Attitude measurement performance onboard aeronautical transport platforms is a key issue to enanche mission capabilities of current systems. Indeed, the standard attitude measurement accuracy FAA requirements, i.e. 1° rms for pitch and roll and 3° rms for heading, are intended for typical mission profiles that where adopted in the past.
