Research of Precision of Non-collinear Inertial Measurement Devices

Abstract

The non-collinear measurement devices based on the inertial triaxial devices, and structural units such as the triangular, and quadrangular polyhedrons are presented. The corresponding matrices of guide cosines are obtained. In contrast to the known non-collinear measurement devices, the measurements of all sensors that are part of the triaxial devices are taken into account. A description of the relative position of the measurement axes of the individual sensors in the proposed measurement devices is given. Theoretical estimation of non-collinear measurement devices of MEMS-sensors on the basis of uniaxial and triaxial angular velocity meters using correlation matrices of measurement errors is obtained. The obtained results are useful because they are aimed at providing high-precision and reliable measurements that is important for unmanned aerial vehicles, which are currently widely used in Ukraine.
