Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed Inertial Navigation System & Error-State Kalman Filter Reference Manual
Abstract
This is a self-contained reference document that derives the equations necessary to build a combined inertial navigation system and error-state Kalman filter. Coordinate transform, linear time invariant system, inertial sensing, and error-state Kalman filtering theory is built up from first principles. This theory is then leveraged to derive the system equations for two combined inertial navigation system and error-state Kalman filters: (1) a 15-state system modeling white-noise-integrating accelerometer and gyroscope biases, and (2) a 39-state system modeling static and first-order Gauss-Markov accelerometer and gyroscope biases, scale factor errors, and cross-axis sensitivity errors.
