Principles of GNSS, Inertial, and Multisensor Integrated Navigation Systems, 2nd. Edition

This edition of Principles of GNSS, Inertial, and Multisensor Integrated Navigation Systems, by Paul Groves combines a comprehensive review of the latest navigation and positioning technologies with clear explanations of their underlying principles and details on how to integrate technologies for maximum accuracy and reliability.

 

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), inertial navigation, terrestrial radio positioning, odometry, pedestrian dead reckoning, magnetic heading determination, image-based navigation, and map matching are explained alongside a host of other technologies suitable for air, land, sea, underwater, indoor, and space navigation and positioning. As well as providing in-depth coverage on INS/GNSS and multisensory integration, this book describes fault detection and integrity monitoring, discusses design and testing, and incorporates the latest thinking on context-dependent and cooperative positioning.
