Abstract

Abstract : The performance of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS)-based Inertial Navigation System (INS) integrated navigation is reduced during GNSS outages. To bridge the period during GNSS outages, a novel hybrid intelligent algorithm incorporating a Discrete Grey Predictor (DGP) and a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network (DGP-MLP) is proposed. The DGP-MLP is used to provide a pseudo-GNSS position to correct the INS errors during GNSS outages; the DGP uses the GNSS position information of the latest few moments to predict the position of future moments; in the process of DGP-MLP, the MLP is used to modify the prediction errors of DGP, and the MLP is improved by adding momentum terms and adaptively adjusting the learning rate and momentum factor. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, four GNSS outages in different cases over a real field test data were employed. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methodology can significantly improve positioning accuracy during GNSS outages.
