Abstract

With globalisation and the rapid technological development, today navigation and positioning technology plays an increasingly important role in our daily work and life. It is widely used in modern advance technological fields particularly in the sea, road and air. In the unmanned autonomous mobile system, the navigation technology mainly provides information such as direction, position, speed and time for the motion carrier. It is used to determine the geographical location of the motion carrier itself, which is the basis and support for the next path planning and mission planning.
