A Method for the Measurement of Ship Attitude Based on Multi-sensor Data Fusion

This paper describes a new method for the measurement of ship attitude which is based on multi-sensor data fusion, and advances a data fusion mathematical algorithm. By means of calculating the data that acquires from the ship attitude sensors which are installed on the training ship motor vessel "YUKUN" of Dalian maritime university, the results show this method is relatively reliable. And under the circumstances of limited sensors, this method calculates easily and can get a more accurate measurement result compared with arithmetic mean value.
