System and method for estimating inertial acceleration bias errors
First Claim
1. A system for estimating inertial acceleration bias errors for a vehicle, comprising:
- a first transformation module for receiving uncorrected acceleration measurements of the vehicle, receiving at least one of independent position data of the vehicle and independent velocity data of the vehicle, and transforming the uncorrected acceleration measurements into a first coordinate frame of the at least one of the independent position data and independent velocity data, wherein transforming produces transformed measurements;
a plurality of complementary filters for blending the transformed measurements with the at least one of the independent position data and the independent velocity data to produce feedback errors; and
a second transformation module for transforming the feedback errors into a second coordinate frame of the uncorrected acceleration measurements to form transformed feedback errors, and then multiplying the transformed feedback errors by a gain to form multiplied feedback errors and integrating the multiplied feedback errors to form estimates of the inertial acceleration bias errors.
