    摘要: An atomic clock is used in conjunction with the GNSS receiver and the inertial sensors, creating a more capable inertial navigation system (INS). The system is composed of a GNSS receiver, an accurate clock, and a mechanism for measuring relative pose changes. The system being presented utilizes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to provide the relative pose changes, but other mechanisms can be used—like visual and ladar odometry. The GNSS receiver measures the pseudo-ranges to the GNSS satellites in the field of view. These measurements are “time tagged” with the accuracy of the atomic clock. The relative motion between the pseudo-ranges is measured using the IMU. Finally, the lock is achieved by filtering these measurements. The filtering mechanism can vary, from the traditional Kalman Filters to other mechanisms that attempt to minimize the mean square error.
