78 results about "Compass" patented technology

A compass is an instrument used for navigation and orientation that shows direction relative to the geographic cardinal directions (or points). Usually, a diagram called a compass rose shows the directions north, south, east, and west on the compass face as abbreviated initials. When the compass is used, the rose can be aligned with the corresponding geographic directions; for example, the "N" mark on the rose points northward. Compasses often display markings for angles in degrees in addition to (or sometimes instead of) the rose. North corresponds to 0°, and the angles increase clockwise, so east is 90° degrees, south is 180°, and west is 270°. These numbers allow the compass to show magnetic North azimuths or true North azimuths or bearings, which are commonly stated in this notation. If magnetic declination between the magnetic North and true North at latitude angle and longitude angle is known, then direction of magnetic North also gives direction of true North.

RTK (Real Time Kinematic) and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) fusion state estimation method based on adaptive weight

The invention discloses an RTK (Real Time Kinematic) and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) fusion state estimation method based on adaptive weight. According to the method, an observable state estimation system is established by using two RTK-GPS antennas and an IMU device based on a self-adaptive Kalman filtering framework. By constructing a proper antenna layout, the connecting line for connecting the two GPS antennas is not parallel to the acceleration vector, so that the observability condition is met, and the attitude error caused by gyroscope drift is effectively compensated. Compared with a traditional single-GPS fusion scheme, high-precision estimation of the three-dimensional attitude and position can be achieved without an additional attitude measurement device such as a magnetic compass, a self-adaptive covariance estimation strategy based on a sliding window is introduced, the GPS measurement noise level is evaluated in real time, the fusion process is endowed with a high weight only when GPS information is reliable, and the fusion precision is improved. The method effectively improves the robustness of the system, is suitable for unmanned ship navigation tasks in various water area environments, and has a wide engineering application prospect.
