We propose in this paper a method to integrate inertial navigation systems with electro optic imaging devices. Our method is based on updating the inertial navigation system in a Kalman filter structure using line of sight measurements obtained from a camera. The proposed method is analyzed based on a UAV scenario generated by our trajectory simulator and the results are provided here. The results show that even a single vision aid can improve the performance of inertial navigation system.

In-orbit estimation of time-varying residual magnetic moment for small satellite applications
Söken, Halil Ersin (2013-09-16)
A method for in-orbit estimation of time-varying residual magnetic moment is presented for small satellite applications. The Unscented Kalman Filter is used as the estimator. Unlike the existing studies in the literature, unexpected abrupt changes in the residual magnetic moment are also considered. Sudden shifts in the mean of the residual magnetic moment is detected by a low pass filter applied to the normalized innovation of the Unscented Kalman Filter. Then, by using a simple approach, which does not re...
Fabrication of a Three-Axis Capacitive MEMS Accelerometer on a Single Substrate
Aydemir, Akin; Akın, Tayfun (2015-11-04)
This paper presents a new fabrication approach and a design for the fabrication of a three-axis capacitive MEMS accelerometer where differential sensing is enabled for all sense directions. In this approach, individual lateral and vertical axis accelerometers are fabricated in the same die on an SOI wafer which is eutectically bonded to a glass substrate. Differential sensing for the vertical axis accelerometer is realized by defining the proof mass of the accelerometer on the structural layer of the SOI wa...

In this thesis, optical system design, integration and testing of a compact LIDAR system with 270 degree field-of-view that based on time of flight principle is developed by Rekrom Optoelectronics. This system can identify objects and measure distances up to 100 m away. LIDAR has become a much needed and used technology in various fields. The most important of these areas are robotic systems, autonomous vehicles and unmanned aerial, land and sea platforms navigation and environmental awareness. The main r...
Measurement correction of a set of analog sun sensors via neural network
Sozen, Semsettin Numan; Gokce, Murat; Yavuzyilmaz, Cagatay; Gulmammadov, Farid; Söken, Halil Ersin (2021-06-23)
A Neural Network (NN) based method to improve the accuracy of a set of analog Sun sensors is presented. Analog Sun Sensors are commonly used on satellites due to their reduced cost, small size and low power consumption. However, especially in Earth imaging satellites, they are prone to the Earth albedo effects. Magnitude and direction of albedo change depending on the reflection characteristics of the Earth's surface, position and attitude of the satellite and position of the Sun. The albedo may deteriorate...
