Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of huge computation load and poor real-time performance caused by the normative constraints of the unscented quaternion estimator (USQUE) in the nonlinear filter for an integrated navigation system, a dual-Euler unscented Kalman filter (DEUKF) based on the dual-Euler attitude representation is proposed. The proposed filter updates attitude in the positive and reverse essence region of the positive and reverse Euler differential equations by switching Euler angle to avoid singularity and ensure filtering accuracy. In the direct integrated navigation of a strapdown inertial navigation system/global positioning system, both the simulation and vehicle test results show that, compared with USQUE algorithm, the computation load of the proposed DEUKF is reduced significantly so that it has good real-time performance while it achieves the equivalent pitch and roll estimation accuracy with USQUE algorithm.
