Actual and estimated standard deviation for x axis estimate errors. Discretization should be carried out on the continuous error propagation equations as shown in (2) to get discrete equations as shown in Figure 1. The estimated standard deviation was obtained by taking squared root of the corresponding diagonal term of Pk+. Together with Qand R, x̂0+and P0+play an important role to obtain desired performance. Kalman Filter; Extended Kalman Filter; Localization, Path Planning, Control, and System Integration. Taking the first element in as an example, denotes the coefficient of east velocity error to the changing rate of east velocity error. Moreover, note that the extended Kalman filter linearizes the terrain model and deals with the slope that is effective locally. This is done using Taylor series and Jacobian matrices in an Extended Kalman Filter approach. We are committed to sharing findings related to COVID-19 as quickly as possible. Kalman filter performance is a major contributor to overall navigation accuracy. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. One of the most common problems in robot navigation is knowing where your robot is localized in the environment (known as robot localization). We will be providing unlimited waivers of publication charges for accepted research articles as well as case reports and case series related to COVID-19. The simulation lasts for 1200 s and the results are shown in Figures 2 and 3. The analysis indicates that the state transition matrix in Kalman filter is essentially a function of carrier motion. In this example, the true acceleration is set to zero and the vehicle is moving with a constant velocity, vk=550Tfor all k=1,2,3,…,N, from the initial position, p0=000. The figure represents contours of the terrain where brighter color denotes regions with higher altitude. Welch & Bishop, An Introduction to the Kalman Filter 2 UNC-Chapel Hill, TR 95-041, July 24, 2006 1 T he Discrete Kalman Filter In 1960, R.E. One practical approach to estimate the noise covariance matirces is the autocovariance least-squares (ALS) technique [3] or an adaptive Kalman filter where the noise covariance matrices are adjusted in real time can be used [4]. The simulation also lasts for 1200 s and the results are shown in Figures 4 and 5. I first learned of Kalman Filter through my advanced statistics class taught by Professor Prasad Naik in the MSBA program at UC Davis. Kalman filters are used to estimate states based on linear dynamical systems in state space format. The parameters for standard KF and simplified KF are both set as follows: Case 1 (without acceleration). ^ ∣ − denotes the estimate of the system's state at time step k before the k-th measurement y k has been taken into account; ∣ − is the corresponding uncertainty. Drawing the estimated standard deviation for each axis is possible because the state estimates are independent to each other in this example. The velocity error curves of SINS in Case 2. However, have in mind that in real applications, we do not know the real statistics of the noises and the noises are often not Gaussian. Due to different working mechanism, the data update frequency of each navigation system is quite different [1, 8]. In this example, we consider only position and velocity, omitting attitude information. Kalman filter is an optimal filtering algorithm based on iterative calculation. Obviously, compared with that in standard KF, times calculation of and times of matrix summation and one time of average calculation are needed in the simplified KF but matrix multiplication is omitted. We observe that the estimation results of different simulation runs are different even if the initial guess for the state estimate is the same. As a result, the measurement residual has no effect on velocity correction. Figures 4 and 5 are the errors curves of attitude and velocity, respectively, where the dotted lines and solid lines denote the results from standard KF and simplified KF, respectively.The curves in Figures 4 and 5 clearly show that () when the ship is still or with a constant velocity, the errors obtained from two algorithms are similar to those in Figures 2 and 3, respectively, and there are no significant differences: () but at the beginning and stopping point of acceleration, there is a jump in north velocity and pitch; this phenomenon can be analyzed as the jump of north acceleration brings the jump of north velocity which further generates the jump in pitch, and the jump in standard KF is larger than that in simplified KF; and () during the acceleration and uniform motion stages, the jumps will both converge slowly but that from standard KF owns faster convergence speed. We need to generate noise of acceleration output and GNSS measurements for every time step. The purpose of this paper is to find a simplified KF algorithm; thus only velocity plus heading is selected for analysis. Similar to those in Figures 2 and 3, the curves in Figures 7 and 8 show that both KFs can fulfill data fusion in M/S INS integration effectively. Note that when close-correction mode is used, the values of state vector will be cleared after the feedback correction is done; that is to say, the state vector and the predictive one are always zero before the next measurement update is executed and there is no need to update these vectors during time update but the calculation for , and , is needed. Obviously, the interval for summation and average, that is, the parameter in (11), plays an important role deciding the effect of smoothing and tracking and big interval takes better smoothing effects but brings large lag. Publishing on IntechOpen allows authors to earn citations and find new collaborators, meaning more people see your work not only from your own field of study, but from other related fields too. It can be seen that the results are similar to that in Section 4.3.2. I. An aircraft, initially located at x0=400400T, is moving by 20 every time step in x direction. In Section 4 the time update process is analyzed and the simplified KF is designed and verified with simulation for those vehicles with low-dynamic motion. When the noise in the parameters of carrier motion is big, the noise in will be directly influenced because the parameters are used to calculate directly in standard KF; then the variance of state estimation error will be directly influenced, while, in the simplified KF, negative effect of the noise in motion parameters will be smoothed for the summation and average operation on ; then it can be deduced that, with simplified KF, the estimation error in state vector will be suppressed and filtering accuracy will be increased. As shown in Figure 6, the SINS is installed in turntable with x-, y-, and -axis coinciding with the intermediate, inner, and outer frames, respectively. Based on this understanding, a simplified KF for those carriers with low-dynamic motion is presented. In this paper, firstly, a self-developed SIM is introduced. Discretize (11) as follows:where is the measurement update period. In other words, the simplified KF can be used when the carrier is with a constant velocity or with a small interference of acceleration. In real applications, you will be able to acquire only the estimated covariance because you will hardly have a chance to conduct Monte-Carlo runs. In this example, we consider only position and velocity, omitting attitude information. We share our knowledge and peer-reveiwed research papers with libraries, scientific and engineering societies, and also work with corporate R&D departments and government entities. discussions about recent advances in GPS technology and its applications as well as the fundamentals ofGPS positioning. Simulation and test results indicate that when the carrier is with a low-dynamic motion, the simplified algorithm can complete the data fusion of integrated system effectively with reduced computation load and suppressed oscillation amplitude of state vector error. (26) has no term dependent on the velocity, and therefore, matrix Hin (28) has zero elements on the right side of the matrix where the derivatives of the measurement equation with respect to velocity are located. The SINS can receive external aided navigation data through network. Namely, when the carrier is with a continuous acceleration or deceleration, the parameters of carrier motion will change; then the estimation with simplified KF has a certain delay. But the curves also show that the amplitude of error curves obtained from standard KF is significantly larger than that of simplified one. Polynomial interpolation overcomes most of the problems of linear interpolation. The calculation amount is relatively smaller than that of measurement update that needs inversion matrix operation. By making research easy to access, and puts the academic needs of the researchers before the business interests of publishers. However, higher update frequency of SINS will bring large calculation load because the same update frequency as that of SINS is needed.

Xixiang Liu, Jian Sima, Yongjiang Huang, Xianjun Liu, Pan Zhang, "A Simplified Kalman Filter for Integrated Navigation System with Low-Dynamic Movement", Mathematical Problems in Engineering, vol. The Kalman filter is an algorithm that estimates the state of a system from measured data. In this case, the filter is called consistent. In the rest of this paper, Strapdown INS is used as Slave INS and the difference is not distinguished. For convenience, all the above filters are named as Kalman-liking filters in the following text and only KF is analyzed. The equations for time update are as follows [1, 8]: Specific to the topic studied in this paper, the update frequency of SINS is always as 100 Hz while that of MINS is as 1 Hz. When the measurement is updated, time update of KF will be carried out with the recorded state transition matrix and at the last measurement update time. During the whole process, error curves keep convergent and stable. The predicted state estimate is evolved from the updated previous updated state estimate. Keywords: Gauss-Helmert model; Kalman filter; indoor navigation; orientation determination; partial redundancy; reliability. Polynomial interpolation expresses data points as higher degree polynomial. Kalman filter performance is a major contributor to overall navigation accuracy. The roots of the algorithm can be traced all the way back to the 18-year-old Karl Gauss's method of least squares in 1795. If the calculation amount of time update in the process of no measurement update can be reduced, the idle resources in the navigation calculation cycle can be guaranteed and the design difficulty of the system can be reduced. By Zoe Jeffrey, Soodamani Ramalingam and Nico Bekooy. Kalman filter is an algorithm to estimate unknown variables of interest based on a linear model. 8:58 Part 6: How to Use a Kalman Filter in Simulink Estimate the angular position of a simple pendulum system using a Kalman filter in Simulink. Kalman filter technology, which can improve positioning accuracy, is widely used in navigation systems in different fields. We are a community of more than 103,000 authors and editors from 3,291 institutions spanning 160 countries, including Nobel Prize winners and some of the world’s most-cited researchers. The turntable used in this test is shown in Figure 6. In general, the update frequency of inertial navigation system always used as main system in the integrated system with inertial base is much higher than those of aided navigation systems. The new term Pis called state error covariance. And the swing data of turntable is used as the heading reference values. The terrain elevation measurement is modeled as: where hxkdenotes terrain elevation from the DEM evaluated at the horizontal position, xk, and υkdenotes the additive Gaussian measurement noise. Linear interpolation is quick and easy, but it is not very precise. From the calculation process, as shown in Figure 1, the filtering process can be divided into the loops of gain calculation and filter calculation. In this chapter, we introduced the Kalman filter and extended Kalman filter algorithms. In Kalman Filters, the distribution is given by what’s called a Gaussian. In this example, we consider only position and velocity, omitting attitude information. The system measurement equation can be constructed as follows [1, 8]:where is the measurement matrix and is the measurement noise. When the system is accurately modeled and process noise and measurement noise are both white noises without correlation between each other, optimal estimation of state vector can be obtained by KF. Note that and in (8) are all functions of and is the function of which can be traced back to the fixed value at the zero point. Kalman Filter Made Easy presents the Kalman Filter framework in small digestable chunks so that the reader can focus on the first principles and build up from there. The time history of estimation errors of two Monte-Carlo runs is depicted in Figure 1. Sometimes the filter is referred to as the Kalman-Bucy filter because of Richard Bucy's early work on the topic, conducted jointly with Kalman. In theory, the separated operation of time update and measurement update can solve the inconsistency between main system and aided system in integrated system effectively. These derivations are introduced in this article and lead to a novel Kalman filter structure based on condition equations, enabling reliability assessment of each observation. 2016, Article ID 3528146, 9 pages, 2016. https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/3528146, 1School of Instrument Science & Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China, 2Key Laboratory of Micro-Inertial Instrument and Advanced Navigation Technology, Ministry of Education, Nanjing 210096, China. For example, in the integrated SINS/GNSS, lever-arm length and the measurement from SINS are often used to construct and compensate lever-arm velocity when using velocity matching algorithm [13]. This linear model describes the evolution of the estimated variables over time in response to model initial conditions as well as known and unknown model inputs. The primary contribution of this work is the In practice, this problem can be mitigated by setting the process noise covariance to a large number so that the filter believes the measurement is more reliable. In the integrated system of M/S INS, errors of SINS can be selected as state variables to construct state vector and navigation information from MINS can be regarded as aided information to construct measurement vector. Terrain measurements have generally been obtained by using radar altimeters. We are going to estimate a 3-dimensional target state (position and velocity) by using measurements provided by a range sensor and an angle sensor. Review articles are excluded from this waiver policy. The role of the Kalman filter is to provide estimate of xkat time k, given the initial estimate of x0, the series of measurement, z1,z2,…,zk, and the information of the system described by F, B, H, Q, and R. Note that subscripts to these matrices are omitted here by assuming that they are invariant over time as in most applications. Suppose we have the following models for state transition and measurement. Because the elevation data are contained in a two-dimensional array, bilinear or bicubic interpolation are generally used. It is a useful tool for a variety of different applications including object tracking and autonomous navigation systems, economics prediction, etc. The superscripts –and +denote predicted (prior) and updated (posterior) estimates, respectively. In order to facilitate the iterative calculation of computer, the continuous system as (2) and (5) should be discretized and can be expressed as [1, 8]where is the th iterative update, is the state transition matrix, and is the noise input transition matrix. It is generally believed that the integrated system can give full play to each navigation system constructing integrated system and achieve advantages of complementary or (and) combination among each other [1–3]. When those are inconsistent, only time update operation will be run without measurement update of aided system and both operations will be run with measurement update [8].
