HITMAN
HITMAN (Hermite Interpolation of Trajectories and Measurement Synthesis for Analysis of Navigators) interpolates—or estimates the unknown values between known values—flight trajectories and generates synthetic inertial measurement unit (IMU) data using Hermite splines. This Python library provides modeling and simulation capabilities to synthesize inertial measurements from discrete trajectory points, enabling researchers to create exemplar datasets for evaluating navigation algorithms in various applications, including consumer devices like smartphones and vehicles. Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.
