“…In recent years, integrated alignment method has been applied gradually, which includes GPS, magnetometer, odometer, IMU and other sensors (Georgy et al, 2011;Ali and Elsheimy, 2013;Chang et al 2017). With the development of multi-sensor information fusion techniques, MIMU/ GPS/magnetometer integrated navigation system has been widely used in navigation and positioning, which could improve the initial alignment accuracy effectively (Khoder and Jida, 2014). However, magnetometer often causes observation outliers for it is highly susceptible to abnormal interference of unknown magnetic field (Zhou et al 2016), the influence of GPS receiver signal occlusion (Teng et al 2011), and the multi-path effect (Azarbad and Mosavi, 2014), which may produce observation outliers and result in large errors in initial alignment.…”
