    Complexity for these models will then be chosen according to the needed performance and the type of application considered. Ability to define this model is part of sensors and IMU manufacturers know-how. Sensors and IMU models are computed in factories through a dedicated calibration sequence using multi-axis turntables and climatic chambers.

  3. Schuler tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuler_tuning

    Schuler tuning is a design principle for inertial navigation systems that accounts for the curvature of the Earth. An inertial navigation system, used in submarines, ships, aircraft, and other vehicles to keep track of position, determines directions with respect to three axes pointing "north", "east", and "down".

  4. Error analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_(mathematics)

    The analysis of errors computed using the global positioning system is important for understanding how GPS works, and for knowing what magnitude errors should be expected. The Global Positioning System makes corrections for receiver clock errors and other effects but there are still residual errors which are not corrected.

  5. Transfer alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_alignment

    Different factors will affect the accuracy of the transfer alignment, such as reference information delay, mounting error, sensor measurement error, lever-arm effect [2] and flexure of the carrier body.

  6. Inertial navigation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system

    Inertial navigation is a self-contained navigation technique in which measurements provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes are used to track the position and orientation of an object relative to a known starting point, orientation and velocity.

    Apollo Command Module primary guidance system components Apollo Lunar Module primary guidance system components Apollo Inertial Measurement Unit. The Apollo primary guidance, navigation, and control system (PGNCS, pronounced pings) was a self-contained inertial guidance system that allowed Apollo spacecraft to carry out their missions when communications with Earth were interrupted, either as ...

  8. Delco Carousel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delco_Carousel

    The Delco Carousel — proper name Carousel IV — was an inertial navigation system (INS) for aircraft developed by Delco Electronics. [1] Before the advent of sophisticated flight management systems, Carousel IV allowed pilots to automate navigation of an aircraft along a series of waypoints that they entered via a control console in the cockpit.

  9. Introduction to the Theory of Error-Correcting Codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_the_Theory...

    This book is mainly centered around algebraic and combinatorial techniques for designing and using error-correcting linear block codes. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 9 ] It differs from previous works in this area in its reduction of each result to its mathematical foundations, and its clear exposition of the results follow from these foundations.
