Tightly-Coupled Image-Aided Inertial Navigation System via a Kalman Filter

Abstract

Inertial navigation systems and GPS system's have revolutionized the world of navigation. Inertial system's are incapable of being jammed and are the backbone of most navigation system's. GPS is highly accurate over long periods of time, and it is an excellent aid to inertial navigation system's. However, as a military force we must be prepared to deal with the denial of the GPS signal. This thesis seeks to determine it, via simulation, it is viable to aid an INS with visual measurements.
