Title: Inertial sensor data correction
Inventor: Simon Trythall
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2016-09-09
Abstract: A method is provided for determining corrections to rate data output by inertial sensors of a type typically used in tracking changes in orientation of anobject. The invention also extends to a tracker system incorporating the correction functionality of the method. The method makes use of rate data output by inertial sensors associated with the object being tracked and rate data derived from measures of orientation supplied by a non-inertial tracker system also associated with the object being tracked and comprises determining from those rate data corrections for errors due to misalignment in rate data output by inertial sensors, by calculating a mapping between vectors linking points in inertial sensor rate space represented by a sample set of received rate data from the inertial sensors and vectors linking points in a derived object orientation rate space represented by a corresponding and synchronised sample set of derived rate data. Corrections for inertial sensor bias may be determined separately from corrections for misalignment-related errors, after correction of inertial sensor rate data for misalignment-related errors by determining the vector translation between a point represented by corrected inertial sensor rate data in the derived object orientation rate space and the point in the same rate space represented by derived rate data synchronised therewith. The invention is applicable to a pilot helmet tracker system as indicated in figure 4.

Title: A controller for a navigation system
Inventor: BINU JOHN
IPC: G08G1/0968
Filed: 2019-01-30
Abstract: A controller is configured to receive route data from a route-planning module, the route data indicating a suggested navigation route, and to receive vehicle position data from a position module, the vehicle position data indicating the position of a vehicle. The vehicle position and the suggested route are compared and, in the case of a deviation of the vehicle from the suggested route, deviation data indicating the deviation location is stored in a deviation module (see figure 4 for preceding features). The controller subsequently receives the deviation data indicating a historic deviation location on the suggested route at which a historic deviation occurred and determines if the vehicle is approaching the historic deviation location. In the case that the vehicle is approaching the historic deviation location, a navigation module provides the user of the vehicle with enhanced navigational assistance (figure 5). The controller may use a distance-to-deviation threshold to determine whether the vehicle is approaching the historic location, the threshold being adjustable based on expected vehicle speed at the location, the expected speed being based on current speed and/or road type.
