The need for Terrain Referenced Navigation (TRN) arises when Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are unavailable. In recent years, research on the application of TRN to aerial and underwater vehicles has been increased rapidly with the developments in the accuracy of digital terrain elevation database (DTED). Since the land and sea floor profiles are inherently nonlinear, TRN becomes a nonlinear estimation problem. Because of the highly nonlinear and non-Gaussian problem, linear or linearized estimation techniques such as Kalman or Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) do not work properly for many terrain profiles. Hence, this thesis focuses on the particle filter (PF) for dealing with nonlinearities and different types of probability distributions even multi modal. Two different particle filter (PF) implementations are studied, Sequential Importance Sampling with effective resampling (SIS-R) and Sampling Importance Resampling (SIR). Both algorithms are tested for an aircraft sample scenario over a DTED map. Simulations with different number of particles, inertial measurement units (IMUs) having various error specifications are performed and investigated.

Particle Filter Studies on Terrain Referenced Navigation
Turan, Burak; Kutay, Ali Türker (2016-04-14)
The requirement for Terrain Referenced Navigation (TRN) also known as Terrain Aided Navigation (TAN) arises when Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are unavailable, jammed or blocked. In recent years, research on the application of TRN to aerial and underwater vehicles has been increased rapidly with the developments in the accuracy of digital terrain elevation database (DTED). Since the land and sea floor profiles are inherently nonlinear, TRN becomes a nonlinear estimation problem. Because ...
Enhancing positioning accuracy of GPS/INS system during GPS outages utilizing artificial neural network
Kaygisiz, Burak H.; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-06-01)
Integrated global positioning system and inertial navigation system (GPS/INS) have been extensively employed for navigation purposes. However, low-grade GPS/INS systems generate erroneous navigation solutions in the absence of GPS signals and drift very fast. We propose in this paper a novel method to integrate a low-grade GPS/INS with an artificial neural network (ANN) structure. Our method is based on updating the INS in a Kalman filter structure using ANN during GPS outages. This study focuses on the des...
Navigation and control of an unmanned sea surface vehicle
Kumru, Murat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In this study, navigation and control algorithms for unmanned sea surface vehicles are investigated. For this purpose, firstly the mathematical model of a sea surface vehicle with two propellers providing stable maneuvering capabilities is constructed considering Newton-Euler equations. The next phase is to design a suitable navigation algorithm which integrates the solutions of “Inertial Navigation System (INS)” and external aids such as “Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)” and magnetometer. At this...
GPS-based real-time orbit determination of artificial satellites using kalman, particle, unscented kalman and H-infinity filters
Erdoğan, Eren; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2011)
Nowadays, Global Positioning System (GPS) which provide global coverage, continuous tracking capability and high accuracy has been preferred as the primary tracking system for onboard real-time precision orbit determination of Low Earth Orbiters (LEO). In this work, real-time orbit determination algorithms are established on the basis of extended Kalman, unscented Kalman, regularized particle, extended Kalman particle and extended H-infinity filters. Particularly, particle filters which have not been applie...
Positioning performances of single frequency GPS, GLONASS and carrier based algorithms in a software platform /
Savaş, Caner; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
There exist various algorithms (signal acquisition, tracking, etc.), methods (RTK (Real Time Kinematic), DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System), etc.) or aid systems (SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Systems), INS (Inertial Navigation System) aid etc.) to improve the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning accuracy. The positioning accuracy of different systems is usually determined by using a test setup which includes costly hardware and software units. In order to compare positionin...
