High Accuracy Targeting Using a Gps-aided Inertial Measurement Unit

چکیده
The GI-Eye GPS/inertial video system is design to support rapid collection and location of target coordinates through processing georeferenced digital video imager. Extracting coordinates from video imagery has historically required significant processing to determine the relative position and orientation of stereo image pairs (through photogrammetry) or the use of expensive fixedbase stereo vision systems. The GI-Eye GPS/inertial video camera system enables high accuracy 3-D coordinates to be efficiently extracted from the video data without requiring the use of computationally intensive photogrammetric processing or stereo cameras. This paper describes the GI-Eye system developed by NAVSYS, and presents test data that demonstrate the system’s performance and ability to perform rapid, high accuracy targeting.

Precision Attitude Determination Using a Low Grade Gps-aided Inertial Measurement Unit
Precision attitude determination is a key requirement for precision targeting. Current targeting systems use range and bearing to target (relative to the Forward Observer’s GPS coordinates) to derive the target coordinates. The accuracy of these coordinates is currently limited by the accuracy to which the bearing to target can be observed. Conventional methods of determining attitude include g...

Precision weapons including miniature GPS/inertial guidance systems have become the mainstay of the DoD arsenal. These “smart” weapons can be delivered to target with unprecedented accuracy, without requiring expensive seekers for terminal guidance. GPSguided weapons are in development for gunlaunched, air-to-surface and even mortar munitions. In order for these precision weapons to be effectiv...
متن کاملIntegration of a GPS aided Strapdown Inertial Navigation System for Land Vehicles
The estimation accuracy of a low-cost inertial navigation system (INS) is limited by the accuracy of the used sensors and the imperfect mathematical modeling of the error sources. By fusing the INS data with GPS data, the errors can be bounded and the accuracy increases considerably. In this project, a low-cost in-house constructed inertial measurement unit (IMU) and an off-the-shelf GPS receiv...
متن کاملGPS Receiver Performance Using Inertial-Aided Carrier Tracking Loop
Radio frequency interference (RFI) has been a perplexing problem, affecting the navigation quality of the Global Positioning System (GPS). The presence of the RFI, or even hostile jamming, will reduce the effective received signal power, and thus degrade navigation accuracy, continuity, and integrity of the system. A proposed next generation aircraft navigation system for the U.S. military call...
متن کاملVision-Aided Inertial Navigation for Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in GPS-Denied Environments
This paper presents a vision-aided inertial navigation system for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in GPS-denied environments. During visual estimation, image features in consecutive frames are detected and matched to estimate the motion of the vehicle with a homography-based approach. Afterwards, the visual measurement is fused with the output of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) by an i...
