Study on Information Fusion Algorithm in Tightly Coupled GPS/SINS Integrated Navigation System

The tightly coupled GPS/SINS integrated navigation system is studied in this paper. In order to meet the requirement of precision and stability, a nonlinear error model of SINS based on additive quaternion is established and a kind of SRUKF(Square-Root Unscented Kalman Filter) algorithm is designed. Compared with EKF, The SRUKF not only improves the location precision greatly but also avoids the calculating burden of Jacobin matrices. Simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in tightly coupled GPS/SINS integrated navigation system.
