Abstract

As stated in the previous chapter the accuracy of an INS is affected by the errors in the inertial sensors, initialization and computational algorithms. The situation is worse for the low cost MEMS sensors where the INS output can drift rapidly and render them essentially unusable as standalone sensors for navigation applications owing to severe stochastic errors.
