A wavelet-based bootstrap method applied to inertial sensor stochastic error modelling using the Allan variance
نویسنده
چکیده
A wavelet-based bootstrap method is proposed to generate surrogate data from inertial sensor noise time series and to construct bootstrap-based confidence intervals of selected parameters which are used to characterize their noise performance. The Allan variance, its links with wavelets and the whitening action of wavelet decompositions applied to long-memory stochastic processes are considered in developing the theory behind the proposed method. The conditions for the wavelet-based bootstrap method to work are discussed in the face of idiosyncrasies of inertial sensors, especially microelectromechanical systems-based (MEMS) inertial sensors. Computer simulation experiments demonstrate the validity of the method and its power in doing the statistical inference from a moderately small-size dataset; additionally, the wavelet-based bootstrap method is applied to the task of stochastic error characterization, in the case of a MEMS orientation sensor, which integrates a tri-axis gyro and a tri-axis accelerometer.

Modeling Inertial Sensors Errors Using Allan Variance
It is well known that Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) can provide high accuracy information on the position, velocity, and attitude over a short time period. However, their accuracy degrades rapidly with time. The requirements for accurate estimation of navigation information necessitate the modeling of the sensors' noise components. Several methods have been devised for stochastic modeling o...

The combination of GPS/INS provides an ideal navigation system of full capability of continuously outputting position, velocity, and attitude of the host platform. However, the accuracy of INS degrades with time when GPS signals are blocked in environments such as tunnels, dense urban canyons and indoors. To dampen down the error growth, the INS sensor errors should be properly estimated and co...

The estimation accuracy is mostly affected by the time-dependent growth of inertial sensor errors, especially the stochastic errors. In order to eliminate negative effect of these random errors, they must be accurately modelled. Usually the stochastic models are based by the 1 or 2 Gauss-Markov models, where the key is the successful implementation that depends on how well the noise statistics ...

GPS, Pseudolites (PL) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) exhibit complementary performance characteristics, advantage of which can be taken through integration. System integration can be made at different levels, namely loose coupling, tight coupling and ultra-tight coupling, depending on the desired robustness (vs complexity) of the of the overall system design. In ultra-tight integration, ...
