The development of an artificial vision based navigation system for helicopter using modified NDGPS/INS integration

This paper presents the results of development of a NDGPS/INS navigation system based on artificial vision. The proposed NDGPS/INS system was tested in the dynamic environment of a ground and flight vehicle. The results have shown the significant advantages in position accuracy and situation awareness. Accuracy meets the CAT-I precision approach and landing using NDGPS/INS integrations. Also we can confirm advantages of situation awareness using artificial vision. This system would be useful when we have to operate at night, in bad weather condition and military purpose using by 3D navigation guidance display based on artificial image.
