Increasing the Accuracy of Orientation Determination Based on Auto-compensation of Errors

Abstract

An increasing the accuracy of orientation determination of strapdown system based on the spatial rotation of gyroscopes relative to an object is considered. The subject of analysis is a mathematical model of the measurement errors of orientation angles, taking into account the constant biases of gyroscopes. The proposed error model makes it quite easy to evaluate the efficiency of auto-compensation. It is shown that the problem may be reduced to integrating the direction cosine matrix that determine the position of the sensitive elements in the reference coordinate system. The results of theoretical analysis and simulation confirm the high efficiency of this method for increasing the accuracy of measuring kinematic parameters.
