Practical Evaluation of EKF1 and UKF2 Filters for Terrain Aided Navigation
author
Abstract:
This article would study batch and recursive methods that used in terrain navigation systems. Terrain navigation has a lot ofdisadvantages and so researchers have been studied on different method of aided navigation for many years. Therefore, more types of aided navigation systems were introduced with advantages and disadvantages in terms of practical and theoretical. One of the main ideas for aided navigation is integration of extended kalman filter and INS[1]. But this integration method has significant weakness in practice that caused to benonsignificant among the aided navigation methods. So in this article, the author introduces more accurate filter (UKF) for integration byINS and other sensors as barometer and radar system. In continue,the use of Aided EKF and UKF navigation schemes would be justified anddeveloping and performing algorithms written for the needed application and simulation results will be presented and compared.Finally, benefit of the proposed methods in this article will be compared with other batch and recursive methods. The most significant of this article is related to its practical application on UAV that was tested in 2010.

Terrain aided navigation
In many autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) applications, a basic problem is to determine the AUV's position accurately. Terrain aided navigation, which supports the existing inertial navigation system with terrain information, is a promising method. In this thesis, the Kalman filter and the Bayesian approach implemented as point mass filter are used in terrain aided navigation. To formulate a ...
full textHighway Evaluation of Terrain-aided Localization Using Particle Filters
This work evaluates a real-time algorithm to localize a vehicle on a highway in the direction of travel without the use of GPS. The algorithm uses a particle filter to estimate vehicle position along a map of road grade using real-time pitch measurements from an in-vehicle pitch sensor as the input. Experiments over 60 kilometers along Interstate I-80 and US Route 220 in Pennsylvania are used t...

A terrain-aided navigation method for an underwater glider is proposed that is suitable for use in ice-covered regions or areas with heavy ship traffic where the glider may not be able to surface for GPS location updates. The algorithm is based on a jittered bootstrap algorithm, which is a type of particle filter that makes use of the vehicle’s dead-reckoned navigation solution, onboard altimet...

This paper demonstrates experiments for performing adaptive terrain aided navigation in the context of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) equipped with sonar. The experiments were conducted using a 675 kHz sector scan sonar mounted on a planar robotic positioning system in a 3.0 by 9.0 by 1.0 meter testing tank, enabling controlled and repeatable scenarios. The objective of the adaptive stoc...
