Virtual Polar Region Method Based on the Earth’s Transverse Ellipsoid Model

摘要

Experimental verification is very important for the research of inertial navigation and integrated navigation technology, but most researchers do not have the opportunity to conduct experiments directly in the polar regions. In order to solve the problem of inertial navigation verification in high latitude areas, a virtual polar region method based on transverse ellipsoid model is proposed. The method converts the reference information, initial state, and inertial sensor data into polar regions based on the transverse geographic coordinate system and can ensure that the attitude, velocity, and altitude information relative to the local-level frame remain unchanged. Therefore, the actual test data in the middle and low latitudes can be reconstructed accurately in the polar region without singularities, trajectory deformation, and principle errors. Simulation and vehicle tests show that the proposed method can achieve the same verification effect as the actual polar experiment.
