Fundamentals of Inertial Navigation, Satellite-based Positioning and their Integration

Equally useful to those new to the field as well as experienced engineers, this comprehensive reference includes step-by-step details of derivations and implementation, providing an up-to-date guide to the core elements of INS and GPS.

Fundamentals of Inertial Navigation, Satellite-based Positioning and their Integration is an introduction to the field of Integrated Navigation Systems. It serves as an excellent reference for working engineers as well as textbook for beginners and students new to the area. The book is easy to read and understand with minimum background knowledge. The authors explain the derivations in great detail. The intermediate steps are thoroughly explained so that a beginner can easily follow the material. The book shows a step-by-step implementation of navigation algorithms and provides all the necessary details. It provides detailed illustrations for an easy comprehension.

The book also demonstrates real field experiments and in-vehicle road test results with professional discussions and analysis. This work is unique in discussing the different INS/GPS integration schemes in an easy to understand and straightforward way. Those schemes include loosely vs tightly coupled, open loop vsclosed loop, and many more.

Easy to read with minimum background knowledge Excellent reference for practicing engineers and textbook for beginners Presents a step-by-step implementation of navigation algorithms and relevant derivations in detail Provides detailed illustrations for ease of comprehension Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
