Exploring Inertial Navigation Techniques for Precision Personnel Location
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project aimed at characterizing both MEMs accelerometers and gyroscopes for use in a low cost inertial navigation unit. A hardware and software system, consisting of MEMs sensors, A/D converters, a 200 MHz processor, compact flash memory, and C++ coded software, was integrated into a test bed that calculates and outputs the final positioning after acceleration and/or rotation was applied. Testing of the unit proved that low cost sensors, performing at specifications are unable to provide accurate positioning with the current performance of MEMs technology.
