A Coarse Alignment Method Based on Digital Filters and Reconstructed Observation Vectors

open access: yesSensors, 2017
In this paper, a coarse alignment method based on apparent gravitational motion is proposed. Due to the interference of the complex situations, the true observation vectors, which are calculated by the apparent gravity, are contaminated.

Inertial sensors for smartphones navigation [PDF]

open access: yesSpringerPlus, 2015
The advent of smartphones and tablets, means that we can constantly get information on our current geographical location. These devices include not only GPS/GNSS chipsets but also mass-market inertial platforms that can be used to plan activities, share locations on social networks, and also to perform positioning in indoor and outdoor scenarios.

Inertial Navigation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Navigation, 1977
The following letter to Nature, dated 24 April 1873, might make an appropriate sequel to ‘The history of inertial navigation’ by W. Wrigley in the January issue of the Journal. As well as containing some interesting speculation about animal navigation, which we seem no nearer resolving a century later, the letter includes an introduction to the idea of

An Adaptive Damping Network Designed for Strapdown Fiber Optic Gyrocompass System for Ships

open access: yesSensors, 2017
The strapdown fiber optic gyrocompass (strapdown FOGC) system for ships primarily works on external horizontal damping and undamping statuses. When there are large sea condition changes, the system will switch frequently between the external horizontal ...
