Abstract

See full text

A miniaturized inertial measurement and navigation sensor device and a flexible, simplified GUI operating in real time are provided to create an optimum IMU/INS. The IMU includes multiple angle rate sensors, accelerometers, and temperature sensors to provide stability device. A navigation GUI tests algorithms prior to embedding them in real-time IMU hardware. MATLAB code is converted to C++ code tailored for real-time operation. Any point in the algorithm suite structure can be brought out as a data channel to investigate the pattern of operation. The data channels permit zooming in on the algorithm's operation for the open-loop angle, velocity and position drift measurements for bias-compensated channels. The GUI can be used to verify results of an extended Kalman filter solution as well as the implementation of the real-time attitude and heading reference system. When the code has been verified, it is compiled and downloaded into a target processor.
