Throughout  the focus is on solving real-world problems  with an emphasis on the effective use of state-of-the-art integration techniques for those systems  especially the application of Kalman filtering. To that end  the authors explore the various subtleties  common failures  and inherent limitations of the theory as it applies to real-world situations  and provide numerous detailed application examples and practice problems  including GPS-aided INS  modeling of gyros and accelerometers  and WAAS and LAAS.  Drawing upon their many years of experience with GPS  INS  and the Kalman filter  the authors present numerous design and implementation techniques not found in other professional references  including original techniques for:  Representing the problem in a mathematical model  Analyzing the performance of the GPS sensor as a function of model parameters  Implementing the mechanization equations in numerically stable algorithms  Assessing computation requirements  Testing the validity of results  Monitoring GPS  INS  and Kalman filter performance in operation  In order to enhance comprehension of the subjects covered  the authors have included software in MATLAB  demonstrating the workings of the GPS  INS  and filter algorithms. In addition to showing the Kalman filter in action  the software also demonstrates various practical aspects of finite word length arithmetic and the need for alternative algorithms to preserve result accuracy. An Instructors Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651871989813,"sku":"ByrdShop_047135032X","price":99.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780471350323.jpg?v=1781843251","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/global-positioning-systems-inertial-navigation-and-integration-9780471350323","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
