摘要
A hybrid system for stabilizing the attitude of an instrument relative to a dynamic platform includes a plurality of (roll, pitch and yaw) inertial rate sensors, whose outputs are sampled at a rate sufficient to provide real time tracking of changes in orientation of the platform, and a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, whose precision platform attitude output is updated periodically, but at a rate less than the rate of change of attitude of the platform. The inertial rate sensors provide effectively continuous motion (e.g., angular rate) data signals representative of three-dimensional changes in attitude (position derivative signals) of the platform. The inertial rate output are integrated to provide output signals representative of the dynamic orientation of the platform. Sequential outputs of the integration- processing circuitry are also coupled to a sample buffer, which is controllably read-out in accordance with the periodic updates from the GPS receiver. The integrated inertial sensor (attitude) data is compared with the GPS update data to generate error signals which are used to adjust the inertial sensor data. By employing a sample buffer in an inertial sensor output integration feedback loop with the GPS receiver, the hybrid system of the present invention avoids what would otherwise be a staleness problem with the data provided by the GPS receiver.
