A Kalman filter algorithm based on exact modeling for FOG GPS/SINS integration

The Kalman filter is widely applied in fiber optic gyro (FOG) inertial integrated navigation system. To solve the problem of hard acquirement of Kalman filter parameters, a novel algorithm for FOG GPS/SINS integration navigation based on exact modeling is proposed in this paper. The models of inertial sensors using Allan variance analysis are established in proposed algorithm and the precise Kalman filter model is obtained based on the correspondence between Allan variance coefficients and inertial sensors parameters. The simulation and experimental results show that Kalman filter parameters can be obtained for GPS/SINS integrated navigation system precisely and efficiently based on Allan variance modeling method, and the algorithm has reference value for theoretical perfection and engineering applications.
