Performance analysis of GNSS/INS loosely coupled integration systems under GNSS signal blocking environment

Abstract

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) are the most widely used navigation systems at present. Aiming at the limitations of a single system application, this paper uses kalman filter to fuse the pose information provided by GNSS and INS, respectively. GNSS has the characteristics of being easily affected by the environment but with high absolute positioning accuracy. INS has the characteristics of high sampling frequency and autonomous navigation, but the error accumulates with time. Combining the advantages of the two systems to achieve the purpose of obtaining higher-precision pose information. In addition, aiming at the problem that GNSS/INS integration cannot provide continuous, stable and reliable navigation solutions under the GNSS signal blocking environment, a smoothing post-processing algorithm for GNSS/INS integration is studied. Through experimental verification, this algorithm can effectively improve the pose accuracy under GNSS signal blocking environment.
