REal Time Inertial Navigation Adaptive Correction (RETINAC™) - 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. A
major disadvantage of using INUs (Inertial Navigation Units) for navigation
is that they typically suffer from accumulated error. Because the guidance
system is continually integrating acceleration with respect to time to
calculate velocity and position, any
measurement errors, however small, are accumulated over time. This leads to
'drift' that is an ever-increasing difference between where the system thinks
it is located and the actual location. Due to integration a constant error in
acceleration results in a linear error growth in velocity and a quadratic
error growth in position. A constant error in attitude rate (gyro) results in
a quadratic error growth in velocity and a cubic error growth in position. There are currently
navigation systems that integrate GPS/GLONASS and INU navigation systems so
that INU only operates when GPS/GLONASS signals are not available. A state-of-the-art
INU like SIGMA95® from SAFRAN® has very high levels of precision and
reliability. However, there is still an INU accuracy problem when this
situation continues for too long a time. There is also the possibility that
the INU error is not systematic and may vary due to the different
acceleration sequences in the three axes and also due to unavoidable
variations in the operation of the device over time. The RETINAC™ system
adaptively and continuously adjusts the accuracy of INU through Machine Learning
algorithms that operate in real time by comparing GPS/GLONASS and INU
information for tens of thousands of acceleration patterns. When GPS/GLONASS
is running, the MYTHOS™ adaptive machine learning algorithm continuously
learns the errors generated by INU for specific acceleration sequences. When
the GPS/GLONASS signal is not available, the MYTHOS algorithm operates in
inference by correcting the positioning data coming from the INU. |
