This paper details a method to improve accuracy of the land vehicle attitude estimation. It employs the vehicle model constraints to enhance the integration of GPS and a low-cost MEMS inertial measurement unit (MIMU) (GPS/MIMU). To improve the yaw angle estimation, we propose a lateral velocity constraint (LVC) aided method based on the observability analysis for the integrated fusion system. The ...Show More
Current orientation estimation system (OES) approaches can meet the Satcom-on-the-move (SOTM) accuracy requirement in low dynamics using inertial measurement unit (IMU) without Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). However, the estimation accuracy will decrease significantly due to the influence of the high dynamics of the vehicle. This article addresses this issue by constructing a multi-sta...Show More
This article presents a newly invented emergency positioning system deployed on a satellite communication on-the-move (SOTM) platform, which can extend the SOTM communication function to the positioning function. Inherent to the SOTM system's high reliability, this emergency positioning system can effectively estimate the vehicle's position by fusing a geosynchronous orbit (GEO) satellite Doppler ...Show More
In this article, we develop a novel method to improve the accuracy of the low-cost vehicle attitude estimation using singular spectrum analysis (SSA) and independent component analysis (ICA). The microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers and the MEMS gyros are fused by the Kalman filtering algorithm to provide a low-cost attitude estimation. The low-frequency vibration noise and the mane...Show More
An improved quadrature nonlinear filter named delayed Genz-Keister sequences-based sparse-grid quadrature filter (DGKSGQF) is developed for the target tracking problems. The filter changes the non-nested Gaussian quadrature points of the quadrature filters to the nested Genz-Keister points for selecting the unvariate points, which are the basis point sets extended to form a multidimensional grid u...Show More
In this paper, we develop a low-cost method to determine the vehicle attitude for vehicle-mounted satellite-communication (satcom)-on-the-move (SOTM) using a micro inertial measurement unit (MIMU) and a two-antenna global positioning system (GPS). An adaptive Euler-angle-based unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is utilized to fuse these sensors to guard against the effects induced by GPS outages and ve...Show More
This paper presents a method using the Global Positioning System (GPS)-measured course angle to improve the accuracy of the vehicle attitude estimation for low-cost inertial navigation system/GPS (INS/GPS) integration. Observability properties of the error states in the low-cost integration navigation system are first analyzed, indicating that the attitude estimation is severely affected by vehicl...Show More
