    AI Overview
    Custom Kalman filtering in Inertial Navigation System (INS) applications, typically utilizing Extended Kalman Filters (EKF),
    enhances navigation accuracy by fusing high-rate, noisy IMU data with lower-rate, absolute, but potentially sporadic, aiding sensor data (GPS, visual navigation) . Key customizations include indirect filter design (estimating state errors rather than total states), adaptive noise covariance tuning to handle varying dynamics, and fault detection to isolate bad measurements.
    Key Aspects of Custom Kalman Filtering in INS
    • Indirect/Error-State Kalman Filter (ESKF) : The most common approach where the INS provides a high-rate navigation solution, and the filter estimates the errors in position, velocity, and attitude, along with IMU biases (accelerometer/gyroscope).
    • Adaptive Noise Tuning (AKF): Instead of constant noise parameters, filters are customized to adjust process (

      𝑄
      ) and measurement (
      R cap R
      𝑅
      ) noise covariance matrices dynamically, which improves performance for low-cost MEMS sensors in changing environments.
    • Measurement Screening : Implementing techniques such as Chi-squared (
      χ 2 chi squared
      𝜒 2
      ) tests on the innovation sequence (residual difference between INS and sensor data) allows the filter to detect and reject erroneous sensor measurements (outliers), preventing filter divergence.
    • Sensor Fusion Architectures :
      • Loosely-Coupled: GPS position/velocity data is fused with INS.
      • Tightly-Coupled: Raw GPS pseudorange/pseudo-range rate data is fused, allowing for navigation even with fewer than four satellites.
    • Customization in Implementation: Specific tools, such as the insEKF in MATLAB, allow for customizing sensor models and motion models to match specific hardware characteristics.
    • Covariance Initialization: Using specialized INS alignment models, such as using initial measurements to define the initial state covariance, can significantly improve the transient response and reduce convergence time.
    Common Applications
    • Low-cost GPS/INS integration: Improving navigation during GNSS outages, especially in urban canyons or with low-grade MEMS sensors.
    • Unmanned Vehicles/Aerospace: Real-time navigation for UAVs and aircraft using custom EKF formulations.
    • Fault-tolerant systems: Utilizing adaptive, multi-sensor fusion (e.g., INS/GNSS/VNS) to maintain accuracy during sensor failure.
