Computational Algorithm for North-Finding Platform Inertial Navigation System

When utilizing the north-finding platform inertial navigation system (INS), computational processing is essential. The system acquires navigation information by integrating specific force measurements through sophisticated algorithms. This process involves multiple critical phases: sensor data acquisition from accelerometers and gyroscopes, data preprocessing for noise reduction, calibration procedures for sensor error compensation, and advanced filtering techniques (such as Kalman filtering) for optimal state estimation. During the computational phase, signals undergo sampling and quantization processes before digital signal processing implementation. The entire procedure demands high precision and complex mathematical computations, including coordinate transformation algorithms, numerical integration methods for velocity/position derivation, and attitude determination algorithms using quaternion or direction cosine matrix approaches. These sophisticated computational steps are fundamental to ensuring the accurate operation of the inertial navigation system, with typical implementations involving matrix operations for frame transformations and recursive algorithms for real-time navigation solution updates.
