Abstract

Abstract : Aiming at abrupt faults in GNSS/INS integrated systems in complex environments, classical fault detection algorithms are mostly developed from the measurement domain. A robust chi-square test method based on the state domain is proposed in this paper. The fault detection statistic is built based on the difference between the prior state estimation and the posterior state estimation in Kalman filtering. To improve the calculation stability, singular value decomposition (SVD) is used to factor the covariance matrix of the difference. The relevant formulas of the proposed method were theoretically derived, and the relationship between the proposed method and the existing innovation chi-square test method was revealed. The proposed method was compared with state-of-the-art chi-square test methods and verified by GNSS/INS integrated navigation experiments using simulation data and real data. The experimental results show that the proposed method (a) directly works in the state domain, (b) does not require the known real system state, (c) has computational efficiency and good robustness, and (d) accurately detects abrupt faults.
