Principles of GNSS, Inertial, and Multisensor Integrated Navigation Systems

This newly revised and expanded edition of the popular Artech House book Principles of GNSS, Inertial, and Multisensor Integrated Navigation Systems offers you a current and comprehensive understanding of satellite navigation, inertial navigation, terrestrial radio navigation, dead reckoning, and integrated navigation. It provides both an introduction to navigation systems and an in-depth treatment of INS/GNS and multisensor integration. The second edition offers a wealth of added and updated material, including a brand new chapter on the principles of radio positioning and a chapter devoted to important applications in the field. Other updates include expanded treatments of long- and medium-range radio navigation, short-range positioning, and feature matching. The book shows you how satellite, inertial, and other navigation technologies work, and focuses on processing chains and error sources. In addition, you get a clear introduction to co-ordinate frame, multi-frame kinematics, Earth models, gravity, and the Kalman filter. Providing solutions to common integration problems, the book describes and compares different integration architectures, and explains how to model different error sources. You get a broad and penetrating overview of current technology and are brought up to speed with the latest developments in the field. DVD Included! Features nine appendices, interactive worked examples, basic GNSS and INS Matlab® simulation software, and problems and exercises to help you master the material.
