Abstract:

To solve the problem of initial alignment of the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) under swaying base with geographic latitude uncertainty, a new latitude estimation algorithm and initial alignment method are presented. The former uses the angle between the two gravities in the inertial frames of different times to extract latitude, while the latter utilizes the continuous attitude update to record the attitude changes caused by sway interrupt, and then uses the estimation of the initial attitude to determinate the attitude of the body. Theoretical analysis results show that the estimation error of latitude is mainly dependent on the accelerometer errors, while the error caused by gyro errors and swaying interrupt is tiny. The simulation results show that the proposed latitude estimation algorithm and initial alignment method can be used with good results under swaying base environments with latitude uncertainties.
