摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide a blending filter based on extended Kalman filter (EKF), which optimally integrates the IMU navigation data with all other satellite measurements tightly-coupled integration filter. This blending filter can be easily implemented with minor modification to the position engine of stand-alone GNSS receiver. Provided is a low-complexity tightly-coupled integration filter for sensor-assisted global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. The inertial measurement unit (IMU) contains inertial sensors such as accelerometer, magnetometer, and/or gyroscopes Embodiments also include method for pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) data conversion for ease of GNSS/PDR integration. The PDR position data is converted to user velocity measured at the time instances where GNSS position/velocity estimates are available.
