Tuning of the Wavelet Filters for the IMU Data Based on the PDC Method and the GPS Solution in a Bi-Dimensional Navigation Application

Abstract
The degradation of navigation accuracy and integrity of GPS in the presence of radio frequency interference, hostile jamming and high dynamical situations, when the satellite signals may get lost due to signal blockage, led to the development of MEMS-INS/GPS integrated navigation systems for various applications of the positioning and navigation technologies. Unfortunately, the short-term advantages brought by the INS systems are overshadowed by their imprecise operation over the long term, mainly due to inertial sensor errors. A critical component of the inertial sensors errors is the noise. To improve the quality of the inertial sensors data, many denoising techniques have been used. Wavelet method has been proven as a useful tool for signal analysis, and it is widely used in signal processing and denoising applications. The here proposed technique is based on a time-frequency approach previously applied in bio-signals processing. In the proposed mechanism, the inertial sensors signals are processed analysed by using an extended version of the Wavelet transform. The optimal levels of decomposition are established for the wavelet filters, based on the evaluation of a parameter called coupling level (CL). It characterizes the coupling dynamics information between the reference signals, provided by a GPS, and the perturbed signal, which are the outputs of the inertial navigation system (INS). The proposed tuning method is experimentally tested in a bi-dimensional navigation application.
